Cranage Hall is a former country house in the village of Cranage, Cheshire, England.  It was built in 1828–29 for Lawrence Armitstead, and designed by Lewis Wyatt.  In 1932 a parallel wing was added.  Since the hospital closed, it has been used as a hotel and conference centre owned and run by the Principal Hayley hotel group.  The building is constructed in red brick with blue brick diapering, and in yellow sandstone.  It is roofed in slate.  The architectural style is Elizabethan.  The building is in two storeys plus a basement, and it has eight bays. The first and fourth bays are in stone; the others are in brick. In front of the sixth and seven bays is a two-storey stone porch with four fluted Doric columns, an entablature with a frieze, and a balcony with an openwork balustrade.  Between the third and fourth bays is a slim octagonal tower with an ogee cap and a weathervane.  The house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

Present Day
Cranage Hall was redeveloped by Hayley Conference Centres and reopened as a 120 bedroom, 29 meeting room hotel and conference venue with a leisure club in 1998. In 2007 Hayley Conference Centres was bought by and merged with Principal Hotels to become the Principal Hayley group. Since the 2016 merger with De Vere Venues, the hotel was rebranded as De Vere Cranage Estate and now has 152 bedrooms including 2 suites in the mansion house.

Cynthia L. Mahoney (also known as Sister Cindy Mahoney) (November 15, 1951 – November 1, 2006) was an Episcopalian nun and former chaplain in New York City who was present at "Ground Zero" following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

"She worked in the pit after 9/11 with the fatality team, and worked as an EMT and assisted the New York City Coroner's Office during and in the aftermath of the disaster. She spent six months at New York City's Ground Zero site ... she blessed human remains pulled from the smoldering debris of Ground Zero, prayed with the workers who painstakingly combed the rubble each day and comforted relatives of the dead when they visited the site" (as per  and also her obituary in the Associated Press).

Family
Cynthia L. Mahoney was born in Camden, South Carolina to Dallas John Mahoney Jr. and (the late) Elizabeth Jennings Mahoney.

In addition to her father, she is survived by a sister, Gaye Elizabeth Peebles of North Dakota; a brother, Dallas John Mahoney, III, Camden; a nephew, Richard Allen Peebles and a niece, Elizabeth Anne McManus.

David Worby
Sister Cindy summoned David Worby, the lawyer representing thousands of ailing "Ground Zero" workers, to her Aiken, South Carolina hospice and requested that he act as her guardian and fulfill her dying wish by overseeing her autopsy after she's gone ... [she suffered] post-traumatic stress syndrome, Worby said. She had witnessed WTC victims burn or jump to their deaths, and prayed over countless human remains ... Mahoney asked that results of her autopsy be used in any class-action lawsuit filed by ground zero workers who say the air around the site has sickened them .

Death
Mahoney died, aged 54, on November 1, 2006 at her Aiken, South Carolina home. She had been suffering from asthma, reactive airways dysfunction syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease; she believed that the cause of these ailments was her exposure to toxic substances at "Ground Zero".

From Zero was a nu metal band from Chicago, Illinois.

History
Formed in 1998, From Zero's music is distinguished from many earlier nu metal groups with its greater focus on vocal harmonies, and correspondingly fewer elements of hip-hop than groups such as Limp Bizkit.

In 1999, the band independently released their self-titled EP (referred to as "The Green Album"). At this time, they were also opening for bands such as Amen, Disturbed, Nickelback and Nothingface.

They later signed with Arista Records, where they released two major label albums in One Nation Under (which features many re-recorded songs from their self-titled album) (2001) and My So-Called Life (2003). They released two music videos for the songs "Check Ya" and "Smack". Before the recording of My So-Called Life, bassist Rob Ruccia left the band to do production work on other bands, leaving vocalist Jett to record the bass for the album. They later recruited Avi Kopernik to play bass for the group's live shows.

After being dropped by Arista less than a month after the release of My So-Called Life, they went to work preparing for their third album. As time went on, writing music became a chore and Jett with nothing to fall back on, needed to concentrate on a day job to support his family. Joe Pettinato, who already had a construction business, then left the band, and the rest of the group called it quits. Two songs from the intended album, "Middle of the Road" and "My Own Destiny", can still be streamed on their official PureVolume page.

The band was promoted by the Real World: Back to New York residents while the cast were working for Arista.

In 2021 former member Rob Ruccia along with members of Nonpoint launched an independent record label called 361 Degrees Records.

Borup Fiord Pass is a glacier-carved valley on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada. The valley contains a natural spring which carries fluids from the subsurface to the surface, sometimes passing through the glacial ice in the process. The spring is the only known place where sulfur from a natural spring is deposited over ice. At the Borup Fiord Pass spring, hydrogen sulphide gas in the water is converted to stable deposits of either elemental sulfur, the most common material in the deposit, or gypsum. The process by which hydrogen sulfide becomes sulfur is complex, and most often occurs when microbes, like bacteria, are present.

To the south the pass leads into Esayoo Bay, part of the Borup Fiord.

Cortinarius varius, also known as the contrary webcap, is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Cortinarius. The mushroom has orangish-yellow caps that reach up to  in diameter, and thick club-shaped stems up to  long.

Taxonomy
The species was first described by as Agaricus varius by Jacob Christian Schäffer in 1774. It was given its current name by Elias Magnus Fries in 1838. It is commonly known as the "contrary webcap".

Description

The cap is  in diameter, initially spherical to convex, then flattened or depressed, at first with thin, involute margin, bearing fragments of veil when young. The cap surface is sticky and smooth, orangish-yellow, with a light ochre tint, and yellower at the edge than in the middle, where the color is more rusty yellow. The gills are crowded closely together, usually somewhat emarginate (notched), thin and not very broad (5–8 mm). They are initially a rich cornflower blue, to lilac then finally ochre-cinnamon, with slightly scalloped edge.

The stem is solid, thick in the lower part like a club. It is usually quite short when young, then often elongated,  high and  wide, up to  or more in the swollen part. Depending on the maturity of the mushroom, the surface of the stem can be covered with tufts of fine hairs that are pressed against the surface, to fibrillose to almost smooth. The stem color is white with a slight blue to lilac tinge at the top that later disappears, slightly yellowish-cream below, changing to completely pale yellowish-ochre when old. The cortina (a cobweb-like partial veil made of silky fibrils) is and white, but later becomes cinnamon when the mushroom drops its spores. The flesh is firm, finely and compactly fleshy, white in the cap, later with a faint yellow tinge, undulatingly fibrillose in the stem and with a faint yellowish tinge. The odor is "pleasant", and the taste is also pleasant and mild. It has been described variously as inedible, or edible, and has been used for pickling.

The spores are light rusty-brown, ellipsoid to almond-shaped, measuring 10–15 by 6.5–7.5 μm with a distinct oblique apiculus. The flesh will turns a chrome yellow color when chemically tested with a dilute solution of potassium hydroxide or ammonia.

Cortinarius varius is closely related to Cortinarius variosimilis, a species that occurs in North America, but which has a paler cap, paler gills, and shorter spores.

Distribution and habitat
The fruit bodies of Cortinarius varius grow in groups in coniferous forests, also in glades and at the edge of woods, from the end of summer until late in the autumn, when the frosts set in. In some places it is a common species, in other quite rare. It prefers calcareous soils.
