Stura  was a department of the French Consulate and of the First French Empire in present-day Italy. It was named after the river Stura di Demonte. It was formed in 1801, when the Subalpine Republic (formerly the mainland portion of the Kingdom of Sardinia) was planned to be annexed to France. Its capital was Cuneo.

The department was disbanded after the defeat of Napoleon in 1814. At the Congress of Vienna, the Savoyard King of Sardinia was restored in all its previous realms and domains, including Piedmont. Its territory corresponded more or less with that of the present-day Italian province of Cuneo.

Subdivisions
The department was subdivided into the following arrondissements and cantons (situation in 1812):

 Cuneo (), cantons: Borgo San Dalmazzo, Boves, Busca, Caraglio, Centallo, Cuneo, Demonte, Dronero, San Damiano, Valgrana, Vernante and Vinadio.

 Savigliano, cantons: Cavallermaggiore, Cherasco, Costigliole, Fossano, Racconigi and Savigliano.

Its population in 1812 was 431,438, and its area was approximately 857,216 hectares.

The Bamboo Cradle is a biographical story written by Avraham Schwartzbaum about his adopted Taiwanese daughter Devorah, who converted to Judaism.

First published in 1988 by Feldheim Publishers, the inspirational story tracks the story of Allen/Avraham and Barbara/Rachel Schwartzbaum as they become more devout Jews after adopting a foundling in a Taiwan train station. The book was translated by Ruth Feldheim into Hebrew as "מסין לסיני: עריסת הבמבוק" (From China to Sinai: The Bamboo Cradle) and published the same year. It was also translated into French by Daniel Halevy  and published in 1990 under the title "Le Berceau de Bambou".

Synopsis of the story
Allan Schwartzbaum tells the story his time spent in Taiwan as a visiting professor from the United States on a Fulbright Scholarship teaching sociology. After nine years of marriage, he and his wife did not have children, despite wanting and trying to conceive. One day, on his way to work, he finds an abandoned baby girl in a train station and brings her to the station manager. He and his wife regret giving her to the station manager, and decide to find her to adopt her. They find her in the possession of a baby-selling ring masquerading as an orphanage and eventually able to adopt her. After several more months, they return to the United States. In the US they research how to convert their new daughter. During their research they discover Judaism as a more meaningful lifestyle than they had realized before. Because of their adopted daughter, they traveled on a journey to becoming seriously observant, bringing up Devorah according to the strict laws of Judaism, and even eventually conceiving biological children.

Winterset Courthouse Square Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Winterset, Iowa, United States.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.  At the time of its nomination the district consisted of 82 resources, including 74 contributing buildings, seven noncontributing buildings, and one noncontributing object.  The historic district covers most of the city's central business district in the original town plat. Most of the buildings are two-story, brick, commercial buildings.  The commercial Italianate style is dominant, with Queen Anne, Romanesque Revival, and Neoclassical styles included.  The Madison County Courthouse (1878) is a Renaissance Revival structure designed by Alfred H. Piquenard.  Most of the buildings are brick construction, but four were constructed using locally quarried limestone.  The stone buildings include the courthouse, the White, Munger and Company Store (1861), and the Sprague, Brown, and Knowlton Store (1866), all of which are individually listed on the National Register.

The period of significance for the district is 1861 to 1965 when most of the buildings were constructed.  Unlike many historic downtowns in Iowa, Winterset replaced its initial frame buildings with masonry buildings because of economic prosperity, and not because of fires.  In addition to Piquenard, other architects of note who contributed buildings in the district include William Foster (Crawford/Jefferson Block, 1873; Schwaner/Centennial Block, 1876),  L.W. Foster (Madisonian Building, 1872; City Hall Block/Jones & Tidrick, 1875), Joseph S. Blake (Firemen's Hall/City Hall/Light Plant, 1888, 1889, 1923), Frank E. Wetherell (Bevington Building/Masonic Temple, 1914 remodel), and Louis A. Simon (U.S. Post Office, 1935).

Monsueto Campos de Menezes (November 4, 1924 – March 17, 1973), better known as Monsueto, was a Brazilian sambista, singer, composer, drummer, painter, and actor. He was a part of the samba de morro (Portuguese for "hill samba") school, and helped popularize it along with other artists such as Cartola, Nelson Cavaquinho, Clementina de Jesus, , , and . His musical output, though small, is considered very valuable to the history of Brazilian music.

Career

Born in Gávea but raised in the favela Morro do Pinto, Monsueto was an orphan by the age of three and was brought up by his grandmother and aunt. He began playing drums around the age of 15, and during the 1940s he played in various bands, including the Orquestra de Copinha, which performed at the Copacabana Palace Hotel. During the early 1950s many of his compositions were recorded by other artists, and by the late 1950s he was appearing in films and on television, and making his own recordings. In later years, he found success as a painter.

Influence
After waning in popularity, Monsueto was "rediscovered" in the late 1960s, beginning with Maria Bethânia's cover of his song "Mora na filosofia". Two legendary albums recorded in the 1970s (Milton Nascimento et al.'s Clube da Esquina and Caetano Veloso's Transa, voted to number 7 and number 10, respectively, on Rolling Stone Brazil's list of greatest Brazilian albums of all time) featured Monsueto's compositions. Caetano performed a rock and roll-inspired version of the song his sister had previously covered, "Mora no filosofia", on Transa, while Milton performed "Me deixa em paz" with Alaíde Costa on Clube da Esquina. Caetano also performed Monsueto's song "Eu quero essa mulher" on Araçá azul, the followup to Transa.

The TransAmerica Trail or TAT is a  transcontinental vehicular route, intended as a recreational pathway across the United States using a minimum of paved roads, traveled by dual-sport motorcycles, off-road vehicle, or touring bicycle.

The trail was scouted by Sam Correro in 1984  who spent 12 years assembling the route using only publicly accessible roads and trails. To legally travel on the TAT, vehicles and drivers must be appropriately licensed for their type and class.

Route 

The original route starts in Eastern Tennessee (Tellico Plains) and makes its way through Mississippi, Arkansas including the Ozarks, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and finishes on the Oregon Coast at Battle Rock in Port Orford. This route has since been unofficially supplemented by an open source community with additional eastern starting points on the New York and North Carolina coasts, and end points in Oregon and California.

The eastern portion of the route mainly consists of farm roads and forestry tracks which become more severe toward the Southern Rocky Mountains where it covers several high passes. The desert of Utah follows, then Sawtooth National Forest of Idaho and the Deschutes National Forest of Oregon, to name a few.

Types of travelers and vehicles 

The trail is traveled mainly by riders of motorcycles who can choose to be self sufficient by camping, often rough (or wild camping), motel supported or vehicle supported. Others choose to travel by ATV or 4x4 vehicle, often in overlander configuration.  Bicyclists also utilize the route, often long-distance touring cyclists. Skill sets of riders on the trail vary from veteran riders with decades of off-road experience, to well-prepared and educated beginners.

Motorcycle types are usually dual-sport or adventure style motorcycles, such as the Kawasaki KLR 650 or the BMW R1200GS, due to their higher ground clearance, suspension travel, and tires being better suited for the various terrain on the TAT. The trail has also been completed by less conventional motorcycles, such as the Honda Grom and CT series trail bikes. 

Vehicles with 4 or more wheels are largely body-on-frame trucks, commonly outfitted with raised suspension, recovery equipment, and other off-road oriented modifications. Due to the challenging obstacles on the trail, these are less common. Side-by-sides, or SXSs. are only street legal in the state of Montana, and therefore cannot legally travel on the public roads of the TAT.

In the summer of 2021, journalists from MotorTrend became the first to cross the Trans America Trail in an electric vehicle, using a stock Rivian R1T.
