Green Valley State Park

Green Valley State Park is a state park in Union County, Iowa, in the United States. The park is composed of Green Valley Lake and land around it, approximately  north of the town of Creston. 

Green Valley Lake is an artificial lake, one of a number of such lakes in southwest Iowa created after a special legislation appropriation in 1947. The park was dedicated on September 20, 1953.

History
The area used to be filled with tallgrass prairie, but much of that was gone by the time the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) bought the land in 1950. Due to a drought in the 1930s, Summit Lake in Creston had no water in 1934 which led to Green Valley Lake being constructed in 1950. The  man-made lake was meant to be used for recreation and for the Southwestern Federal Power Cooperative. The recreation area and Green Valley Lake was dedicated as a state park on September 20, 1953. The lake was renovated in 1974 with bluegills, crappies, channel catfish, and largemouth bass being added to it. In the 1980s, a causeway was constructed over the northernmost part of Green Valley Lake to help improve the water's quality. the IDNR started a departmental committee in 1994 to create a framework for all Iowa state parks, with Green Valley State Park being chosen as the first one to implement the changes. A 1994 plan by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, private individuals, and park visitors created nine separate areas for management to protect the state park as well as its lake.

Resources
Green Valley State Park has nearly  of hiking trails that go through wetlands, woodlands, prairie remnants, and near Green Valley Lake. Fishing and boating are offered, including fishing on two piers that are accessible for people with disabilities. There are three cabins and a campground. The flora and fauna include shrubs, wildflowers, muskrats, deer, beavers, and various birds. The state park is near the Mormon Trail.

Raymond Fault

The Raymond Fault is a  fault across central Los Angeles County and western Ventura County in Southern California.

San Gabriel Valley area
The eastern end of the Raymond Fault branches from the San Andreas Fault in the San Gabriel Mountains where it forms the east fork of the San Gabriel River and Monrovia Canyon. The fault is very straight and follows a WbS path. It then goes straight west through Arcadia and the Santa Anita Racetrack in the San Gabriel Valley, and then forms the San Rafael Hills in San Marino and South Pasadena, and Raymond Hill, after which the fault is named.

Los Angeles–Ventura areas
The fault continues west to form the hills of Highland Park, the lower eastern Santa Monica Mountains from Dodger Stadium, Silver Lake, and Griffith Park through the Hollywood Hills above the Sunset Strip and Studio City. Further west the Raymond Fault creates the higher central and western Santa Monica Mountains from Beverly Hills and along the southern San Fernando Valley to Thousand Oaks and Malibu, and on to Point Mugu at the Pacific Ocean. The fault then continues underwater to form the northern Channel Islands, and beyond to where it terminates.

Pine Flat Lake

Pine Flat Lake is an artificial lake or reservoir in the Sierra Nevada foothills of eastern Fresno County, California on the western north-south border to the Sierra- and Sequoia National Forests, about  east of Fresno. The lake is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and is open to boaters, campers & hikers.

The lake was formed by the construction of Pine Flat Dam on the Kings River in 1954 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and has a storage capacity of . Although it was primarily designed for flood control, the project also provides for irrigation and groundwater recharge, recreation, and with the completion in 1984 of the Jeff L. Taylor Pine Flat Power Plant, generation of 165 Megawatts hydroelectric power.

Recreation and Wildlife

The lake is a popular regional tourist destination for water-based recreation. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District manages the land around the lake and offers several recreation areas and wildlife management areas. The following recreation and wildlife areas help lake visitors experience Pine Flat Lake:

Deer Creek Recreation Area and Pine Flat Lake Marina (the marina is privately operated under an agreement with USACE).
Island Park Recreation Area and Campground
Lakeview Recreation Area
Edison Point Wildlife Area (open to hunting and wildlife viewing)
Trimmer Springs Recreation Area and Campground
Sycamore Creek Wildlife Area (open to hunting and wildlife viewing)
Kirch Flat Recreation Area and Campground (managed by Sierra National Forest)

The fisheries are managed and stocked by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, common fish species include: large and smallmouth bass, spotted bass, rainbow trout, king (chinook) and kokanee salmon, catfish, crappie and bluegill. Anglers can fish for native rainbow trout in the upper Kings River, which is a special management area that encourages natural reproduction of wild trout without the planting of domestic stock. Anglers must have a valid state fishing license and comply with all California Department of Fish and Wildlife rules & regulations.

Hunting is permitted outside of developed recreation areas with bow and arrow or shotgun only.

Enforcement of rules and regulations are performed by USACE Park Rangers, Game Wardens with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and deputies of the Fresno County Sheriff's Department.

Mercury glass

Mercury glass (or silvered glass) is glass that was blown double walled, then silvered between the layers with a liquid silvering solution, and sealed. Although mercury was originally used to provide the reflective coating for mirrors, elemental mercury was never used to create tableware. Silvered glass was free-blown, then silvered with a solution containing silver nitrate and grape sugar in solution, heated, then closed. Sealing methods include metal discs covered with a glass round or a cork inserted into the unpolished pontil scar. "Mercury" silvered glass was produced originally around 1840 until at least 1930 in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), Germany and was  also manufactured in England from 1849 to 1855. 

Edward Varnish and Frederick Hale Thomson patented the technique for silvering glass vessels in 1849. The double walled blanks were furnished by James Powell. The English examples were often cased with a layer of colored glass in jewel tones of ruby red, cobalt blue, amethyst purple and emerald green then cut to silver as illustrated in the photograph. English signatures on silvered glass include E. Varnish & Co. London, Thomson, London and Thomas Lund. 

Blown glass is made utilizing a long metal blowpipe by the glass blower who shapes and heats the object. The piece is attached to a long, flat-topped iron called a pontil to the end of the piece, with a small piece of molten glass, and the blowpipe is now cracked off. The workman completes the object and then, the pontil rod or "punty" is cracked off leaving the familiar rough pontil scar. 

Companies in the United States, including the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company, New England Glass Company, Union Glass Co., and the Boston Silver Glass Company, made silvered glass from about 1852–1880. The New England Glass Company displayed a variety of silvered glass articles including copper wheel engraved goblets, vases and other tableware at the 1853 New Crystal Palace Exhibition. 

Silvered mercury glass from Bohemia was also decorated with a variety of techniques including painting, enameling, etching, and surface engraving. 

Silvered "mercury" glass is considered one of the first true "art glass" types, that is, glass that was made for display and for its inherent artistic value rather than for utilitarian use. 

Authentic antique silvered glass pieces are still available in a wide range of decorative items and usually sold as mercury glass. 

There are many reproductions currently marketed as "mercury glass", in table form, ornaments and other objects. New "mercury glass" can be distinguished from antique silvered glass in several ways, including lack of a double wall, and solid bottoms that are different from true antique silvered glass.

Woodland Reservoir

Woodland Reservoir is a  reservoir serving the city of Syracuse, New York. The reservoir was built in the 1890s as the receiving end of the new water supply for Syracuse coming by a  pipeline from the Skaneateles Lake. It was designated an American Water Landmark in 1977.

Description 
Woodland Reservoir is a  reservoir. In 1935 it was described as reaching a depth of  and having  of surface area.

History 
The area occupied by Woodland Reservoir was initially a spot for picnicker's known as Lilly's Grove or Cawan's Grove.

In the early and mid 19th-century, the city of Syracuse, New York, was supplied with water by the Syracuse Water Works company from sources including Onondaga Creek. It was relatively unclean and beginning by the middle of the century had proven to be of insufficient pressure to serve the city's growing populace. After the company's contract expired in 1885, efforts began to secure a different source of water for the city. The city government considered various lakes, including Cazenovia Lake, Oneida Lake, the Salmon River, and Skaneateles Lake. They eventually decided upon Skaneatles, a vote that was overwhelmingly endorsed in a vote by Syracusans.

After the rights to the water were acquired, the city began a project in the 1890s to build a  pipeline that would carry water from the lake to Syracuse. Woodland Reservoir was constructed to hold water in Syracuse. While a local news article reported that the reservoir was constructed over "about four years" and opened in 1894, William Martin Beauchamp's 1908 history of Syracuse stated that the Woodland Reservoir was constructed from 1893 to 1895, specifying water from had entered the pipeline from Skaneatles on June 29, 1894, and that four days later it had reached the city. The Reservoir was built by crews who lived on site, predominantly consisting of Italian immigrants and African-Americans.

In 1910 a water tank was constructed on the site with a capacity of  of water. Upon construction, it was the sole reservoir supplying water to Syracuse. By 1927, it had proved insufficient to meet the city's needs alone; if the lines carrying water from Skaneatles stopped working, it only had adequate capacity to supply the whole city for two days. A second reservoir, the Westcott Reservoir, was constructed, about  north in the late 1920s and early 1930s. A project to reline the reservoir with gunite took place in 1932.

In the 1960s the water tank became a place for local children to hang out. In 1977 the American Water Works Association named Woodland Reservoir an American Water Landmark, a plaque was erected at the site by 1979. In the 1990s Syracuse renovated the reservoir, including adding a new fence around the water tank and replacing portions of it. A treatment plant on the site was built in 2000 and about a decade later, in 2012, work began on a plant that would treat water with ultraviolet light.

Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia

The Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia (Orchestra of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia) is an Italian symphony orchestra based in Rome. Resident at the Parco della Musica, the orchestra primarily performs its Rome concerts in the Sala Santa Cecilia.

History
The orchestra was founded in 1908 as the first Italian orchestra to devote itself exclusively to symphonic repertoire. From 1908 to today, the Orchestra has given over 15,000 concerts collaborating with the greatest musicians or directors of the century: it has been conducted, among others, by Mahler, Debussy, Strauss, Stravinsky, Sibelius, Hindemith, Toscanini, Klemplerer Celibidache, Furtwängler, De Sabata, Stokowski, Solti, Bernstein, Karajan, Kleiber, Abbado and Morricone.
Bernardino Molinari was the orchestra's first music director, serving from 1912 to 1944. Subsequent music directors included Franco Ferrara (1944–1945), Fernando Previtali (1953–1973), and Igor Markevitch (1973–1975). The orchestra was noted for its recordings of Italian opera for the Decca label with such singers such as Renata Tebaldi and Carlo Bergonzi under Tullio Serafin. Thomas Schippers had been named the next music director to succeed Markevitch, but Schippers died in December 1977 before he could formally assume the post. The music directorship of the orchestra remained vacant until 1983, with the advent of Giuseppe Sinopoli as music director. Sinopoli assisted in restoring the fortunes of the orchestra, and expanded the orchestra's repertoire to include Mahler and Bruckner. Leonard Bernstein was the honorary president of the orchestra from 1983 until 1990.

Antonio Pappano became the orchestra's music director in 2005. With Pappano, the orchestra has recorded commercially for EMI.  He is scheduled to conclude his tenure as music director of the orchestra in 2023 and subsequently to take the title of conductor emeritus.  Currently, Yuri Temirkanov has the title of honorary conductor of the orchestra.  In 2023, the orchestra announced the appointment of Daniel Harding as its next In March 2023, the orchestra announced the appointment of Daniel Harding as its next music director, effective with the 2024-2025 season, with an initial contract of 5 seasons.

Wireless Communications Transfer Protocol

Wireless Communications Transfer Protocol (WCTP) is the method used to send messages to wireless devices such as pagers on NPCS (Narrowband PCS) networks. It uses HTTP as a transport layer over the World Wide Web.

Development of WCTP was initiated by the Messaging Standards Committee and submitted to the Radio Paging Community. When the first proposal was received, a sub-committee was established to improve the protocol and issue it as a specification. The sub-committee was moved into the PTC (Paging Technical Committee) which is a volunteer committee composed of industry representatives. The PCIA (Personal Communications Industry) accepted the first full release and adopted the protocol as a PCIA standard. The current version is WCTP 1.3.

Fire On High

"Fire on High" is the opening instrumental track from the 1975 Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) album Face the Music.

The song was the UK B-side to the band's worldwide hit single "Livin' Thing", issued in blue vinyl.  It was also later included — in an edited form minus the backwards vocals — as the flip side of the United States hit single "Sweet Talkin' Woman" in 1978.

Classic Rock History critic Brian Kachejian rated it as ELO's 7th best song, saying that "From the song’s creepy opening to the sports-themed glass-sounding mighty guitar riff, it has remained one of the most interesting and exciting Electric Light Orchestra songs in the band’s catalog."

Stereogum contributor Ryan Reed rated it as ELO's 10th best song, saying that it "displays the complexity and widescreen scope of symphonic prog, but with a playfulness that many of the era’s legends often lacked."

Something Else! critic Mark Saleski said called it "a cool song, full of weird orchestration, violently strummed guitar, fusion-esque violin, and even (in the full version) a backwards masked message."

Backmasking
The album version contains an opening with a backwards message; in reverse, a masked heavy voice (that of ELO drummer Bev Bevan) says, "The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back! Turn back! Turn back! Turn back!" Ostensibly, this was Jeff Lynne's shot at backmasking hysteria, after satanic allegations were made against their song "Eldorado" by fundamentalist Christianity members. Snippets of Messiah by Handel can be heard during the album opening as well.

Despite being almost entirely instrumental, the song's title can be faintly heard near the end of the track by the chanting chorus. During the beginning of the song, the instrumental takes inspiration from the Dies irae.

Other uses
"Fire on High" was used as the opening theme for the CBS Sports Spectacular TV show in the mid-1970s. Currently, it is the opening and closing theme to "The Diner with Lou Simon," a weekly music-related talk show on SiriusXM Satellite Radio.

In 2000, the New Jersey Devils used the song, accompanied by visuals, in the opening ceremony for all their home games. Much of the song was also played prior to every Atlanta Thrashers home game.

A remix of "Fire on High" is played inside the "Astrosphere" at Funtown Splashtown USA in Saco, Maine. The attraction is a Scrambler ride inside a large dome.

Don Caballero 2

Don Caballero 2 is the second studio album by American math rock band Don Caballero. It was released in 1995 on Touch and Go Records. The album is the group's longest, clocking in at almost one hour in length.

Critical reception

Ira Robbins, in Trouser Press, wrote that "Don Caballero hasn’t completely sacrificed its softer side to the gods of skronk, and the meditative 'Cold Knees (in April)' suggests the sound of several thumb pianos, arranged by Philip Glass and fingered by Einstürzende Neubauten."

Track listing

The album suffers consistently from a misreading of the track listing on internet sources whereby "Dick Suffers Is Furious with You" and "Cold Knees (in April)" are switched in the order with "P, P, P, Antless" and "Repeat Defender."  However, on careful examination of the CD booklet, the track listing is divided into 4 sections (I. "Stupid Puma" & "please tokio, please THIS IS TOKIO", II. "P, P, P, Antless" & "Repeat Defender", III. "Dick Suffers Is Furious with You" & "Cold Knees (in April)", IV. "Rollerblade Success Story" & "No One Gives a Hoot About FAUX-ASS Nonsense").  The track listing on Touch & Go's website compounds the confusion by offering the song "Cold Knees (in April)" for listening but naming it as "Repeat Defender".

Jorge Reyes (writer)

Jorge Reyes (March 9, 1972 – March 13, 2015) was a Cuban-born, American author known for authoring books in several genres. He is an honor graduate (1993) of Barry University, from which he received a B.A. in history, a B.S in political science, and a minor in literature. He died in Miami on March 13, 2015 after a short illness.

Biography

Early life
Born in Santiago de Cuba, Reyes left Cuba with his parents via Costa Rica, before settling permanently in Miami in 1982.

Writing
Reyes has written books in several genres of literature: biography, fiction, non-fiction, children's books and poetry.
Most of what is known about Reyes's childhood was penned down by Reyes himself in his book, Rediscovering Cuba: A Personal Memoir, published in 2001.  In it, he talks about his childhood days in a small town called Boniato on the outskirts of Santiago de Cuba. The book itself, based on a family emergency, became also an analysis of Cuba's present condition as viewed by Reyes himself. Reyes's method of choosing to write his Cuban memoirs displayed some writing skills for which he has been noted, mainly:
 The ability to utilize a wide array of genres in unexpected but highly effective visual ways;
 The ability to write biographical themes, such as his Cuban memoirs, which many writers reserve for fictional accounts, such as: stream of consciousness, poetry, and even short-stories in order to explain non-fictional accounts of events.

In 2003, Reyes surprised his readership by publishing, among other things, a book of poems titled, My Words Mean Something.  Poetry, however, is the genre Reyes returned to with the publication of "Day's Night," published in 2014.

Cosmic Review

The Cosmic Review was the journal of the Cosmic Movement established by Max Théon around the turn of the twentieth century, at the instigation of his wife Alma Théon, who he declared to be the moving spirit behind this idea. 

The Cosmic Review was intended for the "study and re-establishment of the original Tradition", and became the Movement's mouthpiece. Its first editor was Charles Barlet; and Théon, under the name of Aia Aziz, was its Director. Later Mirra Alfassa took over the role of editor.

The Théons and their students published a number of articles and narratives in the seven years of the Cosmic Review – from January 1902 to December 1908.  Following the death of Alma in 1908, Théon suspended production of the magazine.

The Cosmic Review is currently available in French, published by Aken Editions.

Four Pillars of Transnistria

Transnistria's September 2, 1990, declaration of independence rests upon the  following Four Pillars:
 Self-determination
 Transnistria's separate history from Moldova
 Actual distinctiveness
 Reversal of Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact

Moldova does not agree with the Four Pillars theory and disputes the status of Transnistria.

Explaining the pillars 
 Self-determination is the concept that, in the words of United States president Woodrow Wilson, No people must be forced under a sovereignty under which it does not wish to live. Transnistria argues that since the majority of today's countries were founded on the principle of self-determination, they too have this moral right.
 Transnistria's separate history from Moldova refers to the fact that Transnistria has no historical ties with Moldova and that it was never at any time in its history part of an independent Moldovan state. Traditionally, the Dniester river formed an international border between the two. Transnistria therefore argues that Moldova's claim to Transnistria is not supported by history.
 Actual distinctiveness demonstrates that Transnistria has few things in common with Moldova. The majority (61.2% as of 2005) in Transnistria are Slavs who speak Russian and Ukrainian in contrast to Moldova where most of the population are ethnic Moldovans and speak Moldovan. The two also differ in alphabets, religions, economies, etc.
 Reversal of Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact is the legal argument that the only tie between Moldova and Transnistria was the forced 1940-annexation by the USSR after the outbreak of World War II, but that this annexation was declared null and void by Moldova itself with its 1990 reversal of the legal effects of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. This, argues Transnistria, also voids any claim to territory obtained as a result of the pact as the result of the legal principle of status quo ante bellum.

Jameh Mosque of Qazvin

Jameh Mosque of Qazvin ( – Masjid-e-Jameh Atiq Qazvin) is one of the oldest mosques in Iran, and is the grand, congregational mosque (jameh mosque) of Qazvin, in Qazvin Province, Iran.

Specifications
The oldest part of the mosque is said to have been constructed by the orders of Harun al-Rashid in 807CE. Later additions were made, the last being during the late Safavid era. The double layered main dome of the mosque is from the Seljuk era, and is locked to the public. It houses some precious examples of relief calligraphy from medieval times. Renovations have also been carried out on many sections of the mosque.

The foundation of the mosque is laid on a Zoroastrian fire temple.

In spite of the devastating Mongol invasion, the mosque still stands today in its full glory. It is still in use. Parts of the mosque have been turned into a public library.

The mosque also contains a Shabestan and Ab anbar, both now under the protection of Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization.

Part of the complex caught fire on 28 January 2013. Half of the complex was burnt and destroyed by the fire.

Paz Oil Company

Paz Oil Company Ltd. () () is the largest Israeli fuels company.  Paz distributes gasoline and other petroleum products through a network of gas stations, as well as LPG and natural gas for home use (cooking and heating) through its subsidiary PazGaz. Paz operates combined cafes and stores in many gas stations, through its subsidiary Yellow. It also owns the supermarket chains Freshmarket and Super Yuda.

History

Foundation, names, and ownership in the 20th century 
Paz was founded in 1922, as Anglo-Asiatic Petroleum. From 1927 it operated as part of Royal Dutch Shell, under the name Shell Palestine. 

In 1957 Shell decided to withdraw from Israel under economic pressure from Arab countries. In 1958, the company changed to the ownership of the Briton  Isaac Wolfson and the French Nahmias brothers and changed its name to Paz Petroleum Company Ltd. The symbol of the company, a yellow triangle, still resembles that of Shell.

Wolfson sold his company holdings in 1981 to the State of Israel, who sold it in 1988 to the Australian Jack Liberman. Since 1999, the Israeli businessman Zadik Bino owns the majority of the shares, with the Liberman family and other groups holding minority interests.

Investments and market reach in the 21st century  
In 1999, Paz acquired 74 percent of the Israeli fast food chain Burger Ranch. In late 2001, Paz completed the acquisition of Burger Ranch, becoming 100 percent owners of the chain. New branches of Burger Ranch were opened at Paz gas stations. In 2006, Paz sold the chain to the Israeli businessman Yossi Hoshinski. 

In August 2006 Paz won a tender to acquire the Ashdod Oil Refineries with a NIS 3.5 billion bid, from Oil Refineries Ltd; which was forced to break its monopoly on oil refining in Israel. The acquisition made Paz Israel's most powerful energy company and its owner Zadik Bino the industry's most powerful figure. 

In 2012, Paz held 30% of the Israeli fuel market and 31% of the Israeli gas stations. On 12 February 2020, Paz Oil was listed on the United Nations list of companies operating in West Bank settlements. On 5 July 2021, Norway's largest pension fund KLP said it would divest from Paz Oil as it helped to power Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

In March 2021, Paz acquired the Super Yuda supermarket chain for 170 million NIS. In August that year, it also acquired the Freshmarket chain.
