Mutton flaps

Mutton flaps, or breast of lamb, are an inexpensive cut of meat from a sheep.
Consisting of a sheep's lower rib meat, mutton flaps are considered a low-quality cut in Western countries, as opposed to pork and beef ribs. They have been described there as a "tough, scraggy meat", if not properly prepared. Their high fat content has also contributed to their unpopularity in many Western countries, although they are widely used as gyro meat in the United States.
Mutton flaps are a staple in the South Pacific where their high fat content has been linked with the development of obesity problems. In 2000, Fiji banned their import. On July 1, 2020, Tonga banned the import of mutton flaps from New Zealand, claiming their consumption plays a major role in increasing obesity among the population.
In Indonesia, a similar cut of meat called breast of goat is cooked by cutting it into pieces and grilling using skewers. This dish, called sate kronyos, is especially popular in Bantul, Yogyakarta.

Chiftele

Chiftele, plural form of chiftea, are flat and round meatballs from Romanian traditional cuisine. Chiftele are usually made from minced pork, mixed with mashed potatoes and spices, then deep-fried. Chiftele is served with pilaf or mashed potatoes. A variant mixing rice inside the meatball is called perişoare for sour soup, making ciorbă de perişoare.
There is a recipe called chiftele de peşte (fish chiftele) consisting of fishcake made from carp.
The word chiftea comes from köfte, which is the Turkish word for kofta.
Centuries of Ottoman presence in Romania has left some variations from the Turkish culinary arts. Chiftele is the Romanian version of Turkish köfte.
An Bhinn Mhór

Tá ar a laghad 10 sliabh, ceann tíre, aill nó mionghné ar oileán Éireann darb ainm an Bhinn Mhór, san áireamh:
I dteannta seo, tá ar a laghad trí bhaile fearainn, san áireamh (barúntacht, contae):
An Mhucais

Is sliabh suite i gContae Dhún na nGall í An Mhucais . Tá airde 666m aige; mar sin, is é an 3ú sliabh is airde i gSléibhte Dhoire Bheatha, agus an 163ú sliabh is airde in Éirinn. Is í an Mhucais freisin an sliabh is faide ó thuaidh agus an 2ú is airde sa sliabhraon ar a dtugtar Na Seacht Deirfiúracha.
Bhaintí gaineamh grianchloiche ar ardchaighdeán as cliatháin an tsléibhe; feictear iarsmaí na n-oibreacha cairéil ar a taobh thuaidh. Is bealach chun bharr an tsléibhe é 'Bealach an Mhianadóra', bealach a leanann cuid den chosán a d'úsáideadh na hoibrithe chun na cairéil a bhaint amach. D'onnmhairítí an gaineamh agus d'úsáidtí é den chuid is mó i ndéantas na gloine optúla. Tosaíonn slí níos fusa chun na stuaice i Mám na Mucaise ar thaobh theas an tsléibhe.
Is iad an Fál Carrach, Dún Fionnachaidh, an Craoslach, agus Maigh Ráithe na bailte is cóngaraí leis an Mhucais. Is ar thaobh an Fháil Charraigh atá Mám na Mucaise, áit a bhfuil Droichead na nDeor, droichead a ainmníodh amhlaidh mar gur thrasnaigh na mílte eisimirceach as Chloch Cheann Fhaola an droichead seo agus iad ar a mbealach chun an tír a fhágáil. Ag tús na 20ú haoise, tháinig an file Percy French chun an cheantair, áit ar obair sé mar chigire caidhséar, agus le linn dó a bheith ag fanacht in óstán san Fhál Charrach, scríobh sé an dán "An Irish Mother" (Máthair Éireannach).
Margo

Is ceoltóir Éireannach í Margo O'Donnell nó Margo (a rugadh ar an 6 Feabhra 1951) ó Chionn Caslach i gContae Dhún na nGall. Ó thosaigh sí ag ceol sna 1960idí, tá clú agus cáil uirthi in Éirinn agus sa Bhreatain, agus d'obair sí lena leithéidí Dolly Parton agus Loretta Lynn.
Tá a deartháir Daniel O'Donnell ina cheoltóir freisin.
Proinsias Mac Fhloinn

Is peileadóir é Proinsias Mac Fhloinn, nó Frank McGlynn mar a thugtar air i mBéarla. Rugadh é sa bhliain 1986. Is as An Clochán, Contae Dhún na nGall é. Bhí sé ar fhoireann Dhún na nGall nuair a bhuaigh siad Craobh Iomána Shinsearach na hÉireann 2012.
Charlotte Olivia Milligan Fox

Cumadóir ceoil Éireannach, bailitheoir ceoil thraidisiúnta agus scríbhneoir ba ea Charlotte Olivia Milligan Fox (17 Márta 1864 – 25 Márta 1916).
Rugadh Charlotte Milligan san Ómaigh i gContae Thír Eoghain ar an 17 Márta 1864 do Charlotte Burns (1842–1916) agus do Seaton F. Milligan (1837–1916), Meitidistigh. Ba í an duine ba shine í de chlann aon duine dhéag, clann ar mhair naonúr díobh. Cláraíodh an naonúr sa Choláiste Meitidisteach i mBéal Feirste.
Rinne Charlotte staidéar ar an bpianó agus ar chumadóireacht i gColáiste Ríoga an Cheoil i Londain agus sna hardscoileanna ceoil in Frankfurt agus in Milano.
In 1892, chuir sí fúithi i Londain tar éis Charles Eliot Fox a phósadh. Bhunaigh sí Irish Folk Song Society in Londain in 1904 agus bhí sí ina rúnaí oinigh ar an gcumann. Rinne sí cuairt na hÉireann ag bailiú amhráin thraidisiúnta agus fonn, agus rinne sí féin agus a deirfiúracha Edith Wheeler agus Alice Milligan roinnt turas i gContae Aontroma ó 1909 go 1910. Thaifead siad agus thrascríobh amhráin agus d’fhoilsigh ailt agus scóir in The Journal of the Irish Folk Song Society.
In 1910 thug Fox cuairt ar chósta oirthearach Mheiriceá, mar ar bunaíodh craobh den Irish Folk Song Society i Nua-Eabhrac. Léiríodh an dráma The Bardic Recital ar an 16 Márta san Amharclann Náisiúnta in Washington, agus ba í Fox a bhailigh agus a chóirigh an ceol.
Ba í Fox a tháinig ar pháipéir Edward Bunting, agus de réir a huachta fágadh iad ag Ollscoil na Banríona, Béal Feirste. Bhain sí tairbhe as na páipéir chun The Annals of the Irish Harpers (London, 1911) a scríobh, leabhar a mhúscail suim arís sa tseanchláirseach agus in Bunting.
Is iomaí amhrán a chum Fox, agus bhunaigh sí acu ar amhráin thraidisiúnta. Uaireanta sholáthair a deirfiúracha focail di. Chum sí scór ceolchoirme do The Last Feast of the Fianna, saothar le Alice Milligan.
In 1904 bhunaigh Fox agus Alfred Perceval Graves an Irish Folk Song Society of London, cumann a fáisceadh as an Folk Song Society, a bunaíodh in 1898. Bhí sé de chuspóir aige amhráin agus foinn as Éirinn a bhailiú agus a fhoilsiú, i dteannta léachtaí agus ceolchoirmeacha a reáchtáil. Ba í iris an chumainn Journal of the Irish Folk Song Society.
Idir 2010 agus 2011 chuir an Ulster History Circle plaiceanna suas ar son daoine cáiliúla as Uladh. Tá plaic ag Charlotte Milligan Fox agus ag Alice Milligan ar Leabharlann Ómaí i gContae Thír Eoghain.
Dún na nGall

Tagraíonn an t-alt seo leis an bhaile darb ainm Dún na nGall. Fá choinne an chontae atá ainmnithe as, amharc ar Chontae Dhún na nGall
Is baile é Dún na nGall i ndeisceart Chontae Dhún na nGall i bPoblacht na hÉireann.
Roimh an 17ú haois déag, bhí an baile ina phríomhdhún ag clann Ui Dhomhnaill, rialtóirí stairiúla Tír Chonaill. Tá fianaise ann go raibh daoine ag cur fúthu ar an láthair roimh theacht na Críostaíochta. Meastar gur mar gheall ar dhún a bheith ag na Lochlannaigh sa cheantar a tugadh Dún na nGall air. Tugann na mílte cuairt ar Chaisleán Dhún na nGall gach bliain, caisleán a thóg Clann Uí Dhónaill sa chúigiú haois déag. Tá ballóga seanmhainistreach ann chomh maith, mar a raibh Ord na bProinsiasach. Rinneadh cuid mhaith den obair ar Annála na gCeithre Máistrí, ceann de na lámhscríbhinní stairiúla is tábhachtaí in Éirinn, sa mhainistir seo.
Nuair a theith na hIarlaí i 1607 tar éis chogadh fhada in aghaidh na Sasanach, tugadh an caisleán agus a thailte don Sasanach Basil Brooke, mar chuid de Phlandáil Uladh. Rinneadh an baile a leagan amach le cearnóg ina lár ar a dtugtar an Diamaint.
Is ionad mór turasóireachta é an baile anois, é suite ag bun na gCruacha Gorma, agus in aice le cuid mhór tránna a mbíonn daoine ag tonnmharcaíocht orthu. Tá traidisiún láidir fíodóireachta sa bhaile agus sa cheantar máguaird, agus an-cháil ar chomhlacht Magee. Is ann atá ceannáras an nuachtáin an Donegal Democrat.
Tá Gaelscoil sa bhaile le tamall beag de bhlianta.
Taispeánann an tábla seo athruithe ins an daonra ins na blianta anuas:
Dún na nGall (Dáilcheantar)

Is Dáilcheantar 5 suíochán é Dún na nGall, é ag clúdach an chuid is mó de Chontae Dhún na nGall. Tháinig an toghcheantar ar an bhfód don chéad uair in Olltoghchán 2016.
San Olltoghchán 2016, toghadh mar Theachtaí Dála Pearse Doherty (Sinn Féin), Charlie McConalogue (Fianna Fáil), Joe McHugh (Fine Gael), Thomas Pringle (Neamhspleách) agus Pat the Cope Gallagher.
San Olltoghchán 2020, toghadh mar Theachtaí Dála Pearse Doherty (Sinn Féin), Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Sinn Féin), Charlie McConalogue (Fianna Fáil), Joe McHugh (Fine Gael), agus Thomas Pringle (Neamhspleách). Bhuaigh Sinn Féin dhá shuíochán ach bhí dóthain vótaí ag an bpáirtí – 45% – le triúr a thoghadh in 2020 dá mbeadh an tríú hiarrthóir san iomaíocht acu.
San Olltoghchán 2024, fágadh dáilcheantar Dhún na nGall mar a bhí sé, cé go raibh plé ann go gcuirfí an ceantar thart ar Bhun Dobhráin i ndeisceart an chontae atá i Sligeach-Liatroim ar ais leis an gcuid eile de Dhún na nGall agus go mbrisfí an contae ina dhá dháilcheantar trí shuíochán. Níor tharla sin. Bhí díomá ar Shinn Féin nár briseadh Dún na nGall idir dhá thoghcheantar trí shuíochán mar dá mbrisfí bheadh seans acu ar thrí shuíochán ar a laghad a bhuachan sa gcontae.
Cúig shuíochán a bhí le líonadh agus scór is a haon iarrthóir a bhí ar an bpáipéar ballóide, ina measc ceathrar den chúigear a toghadh in 2020: Pearse Doherty (SF) agus Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (SF) ó Shinn Féin chomh maith leis an Aire Charlie McConalogue (FF) agus an Teachta neamhspleách ar chlé Thomas Pringle. D’éirigh Joe McHugh as Fine Gael le linn a thréimhse sa Dáil, i mí Iúil 2022, de bharr útamáil an rialtais faoi réiteach a fháil ar chruachás na ndaoine i nDún na nGall, a raibh brící lochtacha ina gcuid tithe.
Sa deireadh thiar thall, toghadh in 2024 Charles Ward (Cúiteamh 100%) agus Pat the Cope Gallagher agus atoghadh Pearse Doherty (Sinn Féin), Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Sinn Féin) agus Charlie McConalogue (Fianna Fáil). Theip ar Thomas Pringle (Neamhspleách).
Pádraig Mac Lochlainn

Is polaiteoir Éireannach, iar-Sheanadóir agus Teachta Dála é Pádraig Mac Lochlainn. Tá sé ina bhall de Shinn Féin. Is as Bun Cranncha i gContae Dhún na nGall é. Toghadh é don Dáil i dtoghchán ginearálta 2011 d'oirthear Dhún na nGall agus arís i 2020. Ba Sheanadóir ar an Rolla Tionscail Agus Tráchtála é.
Errigal

Errigal (Irish: An Earagail) is a 751-metre (2,464 ft) mountain near Gweedore in County Donegal, Ireland. It is the tallest peak of the Derryveagh Mountains and the tallest peak in County Donegal. Errigal is also the most southern and the highest of the mountain chain called the "Seven Sisters" by locals. The other peaks of the Seven Sisters are Muckish, Crocknalaragagh, Aghla Beg, Ardloughnabrackbaddy, Aghla More, and Mackoght.
Errigal is the most southern, steepest and highest of the mountain chain, called the "Seven Sisters". The Seven Sisters includes Muckish, Crocknalaragagh, Aghla Beg, Ardloughnabrackbaddy, Aghla More, Mackoght and Errigal. The nearest peak is Mackoght (from Irish: Mac Uchta, meaning "son of the mountain-breast") which is also known as Little Errigal or Wee Errigal (Irish: an Earagail Bheag).
Errigal is known for the pinkish glow of its quartzite in the setting sun. Another noted quality is the ever-changing shape of the mountain depending on what direction you view it from. Errigal was voted 'Ireland's Most Iconic Mountain' by Walking & Hiking Ireland in 2009.
In legend Errigal is said to have been named by the Fir Bolg who, originating in Greece, came to worship Errigal as they had Mount Olympus.
The name comes from the Old Irish airecal, meaning "oratory". There is no remains of an oratory on the mountain, so it may refer to the mountain as a whole as a place of prayer.
In recent years, there have been numerous erroneous references to Mount Errigal. In 2016, the Republic of Ireland's State tourism authority, Fáilte Ireland, apologised for using the name "Mount Errigal" in its brochure, rather than the proper name. The official name is An Earagail or Errigal. Mount Errigal is the name of a hotel in Letterkenny, County Donegal.
Terry McEniff

Terry McEniff is an Irish businessman and former politician and mayor from County Donegal. His business ventures and political exploits have often featured in national publications, such as the Irish Independent, Irish Examiner or The Irish Times.
McEniff owns the "popular" and "high profile" Mount Errigal Hotel in Letterkenny.
McEniff is the son of hotelier Sean McEniff - who at his death in 2017 was the longest-serving councillor in Ireland, having first been elected 50 years earlier. His uncle Brian - another councillor - led Donegal to their first All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title in 1992.
Terry McEniff has himself served as a councillor. He was elected for Fianna Fáil at the 1999 Letterkenny Town Council election, coming in behind Ciaran Brogan and poll topper Seán Maloney of Labour - but ahead of Dessie Larkin of Independent Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael candidate Jimmy Harte. In 2002, he became Mayor of Letterkenny - less than 24 hours before his younger sister, Elizabeth McIntyre nee McEniff, became Mayor of Bundoran. He objected to the government's lack of support for The Gathering Ireland 2013.
Married to Loretta, McEniff is the father of twins and supports Naomh Adhamhnáin.
HomeTown (band)

HomeTown was a six-piece Irish boy band, formed and managed by Louis Walsh. They were signed to RCA Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment UK.
The vocal group is made up of singers from Ireland, with Walsh auditioning a thousand singers for the band. HomeTown consisted of Cian Morrin, Dayl Cronin, Dean Gibbons, Josh Gray, Ryan McLoughlin, and Brendan Murray.
The band opened for Olly Murs, McBusted and The Vamps on UK and Ireland tours in 2015 and 2016.
The band was originally composed of five members, Gareth Borrow (Derry), Ryan McLoughlin (Newbridge), Brendan Murray (Galway), Cian Morrin (Castlebar) and Dayl Cronin (Clonmel). The five were picked out of a thousand applicants for a band project by Walsh.
Borrow was later removed from the band and Walsh brought in two new members, Josh Gray (Blessington) and Dean Gibbons (Tallaght), turning HomeTown into a six-piece band.
Their first single, "Where I Belong", debuted at number one in Ireland, becoming the fastest-selling single from a debut act and the fastest-selling single from an Irish artist in 2014. The single was written by Kodaline. The band's second single, "Cry for Help", was released on 27 March 2015 in Ireland. The song also reached number one on the Irish Singles Chart. The band began a signing tour around Ireland shortly after. They released their first single "Where I Belong" in the UK on 24 July 2015, with 4 September as the impact date (the day a track is meant to start receiving significant airplay).
On 23 October 2015, HomeTown released their third single "The Night We Met", which was written by Liam Payne of One Direction and Jamie Scott. On 20 November 2015, HomeTown released their self-titled debut album, which debuted at number 4 on the Irish Albums Chart. In August 2016, the band released "Roses" as the fourth and final single from the album. In October 2016, the band made their European debut in Madrid, Spain, where they played to a sold-out Barclaycard Center at the Coca-Cola Music Experience festival, alongside other acts such as Meghan Trainor and Bea Miller.
In December 2016, HomeTown announced that its members would be taking a break from music to pursue individual projects. Shortly after, Brendan Murray was announced as the Irish representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. Dayl Cronin took part in the Irish version of Dancing With the Stars in 2017.

100% Redress

100% Redress (Irish: Cúiteamh 100%) is an Irish political party registered on 15 September 2023. The group was formed in County Donegal after mica action groups, including the Donegal Mica Action Group, proposed to set up a political party to represent homeowners impacted by the Irish defective block crisis. The party's main stated goal is to secure a new redress scheme for defective concrete blocks that covers 100% of the costs of rebuilding homes and buildings affected by defective materials.
Despite a focus on the defective blocks issue, the group has stated that it is not a single-issue party and said that it had developed policies regarding health, housing, tourism, youth emigration and government transparency.
The party, which is registered to contest local and Dáil elections, won four out of the six seats they contested in the 2024 Donegal County Council election with 9.65% of the first preference vote.
A party candidate, Charles Ward, contested the 2024 Irish general election. He was elected to represent the Donegal constituency with 10.1% of the first preference vote.
Boreen

A boreen or bohereen (/bɔːˈriːn/ bor-EEN; Irish: bóithrín [ˈbˠoː(h)ɾʲiːnʲ, bˠoː(h)ˈɾʲiːnʲ], meaning 'a little road') is a country lane, or narrow, frequently unpaved, rural road in Ireland.
"Boreen" also appears sometimes in names of minor urban roads such as Saint Mobhi Bóithrín (Irish: Bóithrín Mobhí), commonly known as Mobhi Boreen in Glasnevin, Dublin. To be considered a boreen the road or path should not be wide enough for two cars to pass and have grass growing in the middle.
Boreens may be private rights of way that are not open for public use.
In parts of Ulster, a boreen is often called a loanin, an Ulster Scots word.
The word "boreen" comes from the Irish word bóithrín ("little road"), which in turn comes from bóthar ("road").
In origin, a bóthar was a cow path (bó means cow), a track the width of two cows, so bóithrín meant a little cow path. Bóthar was one of the five types of road identified in medieval Irish legal texts, the others being slige (on which two chariots could pass), rót (on which one chariot and two riders could pass), lámraite (a road connecting two major roads) and tógraite (a road leading to a forest or a river).
Donegal County Council

Donegal County Council (Irish: Comhairle Contae Dhún na nGall) is the authority responsible for local government in County Donegal, Ireland. As a county council, it is governed by the Local Government Act 2001. The council is responsible for housing and community, roads and transportation, urban planning and development, amenity and culture, and environment. It has 37 elected members. Elections are held every five years and are by single transferable vote. The head of the council has the title of Cathaoirleach (chairperson). The county administration is headed by a chief executive, John McLaughlin. The county town is Lifford.
Donegal County Council was established on 1 April 1899 under the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 for the administrative county of County Donegal, succeeding the former judicial county of Donegal.
Donegal County Council, which had previously held its meetings in Lifford Courthouse, acquired County House in Lifford for use as its meeting place and administrative headquarters in 1930.
The d'Hondt method has been deployed by Donegal County Council since 2009 and has worked on all but budget day. This led Martin Harley (running mate of Joe McHugh at the 2020 general election) to suggest it be used to help form a government.
Following the 2015 RTÉ programme Standards in Public Office, Milford councillor John O'Donnell was found by the Standards in Public Office Commission in March 2019 to have contravened the Local Government Act in three different instances, including failure to maintain proper standards of integrity, conduct and concern for the public interest.
Donegal County Council has three representatives on the Northern and Western Regional Assembly where they are part of the Border Strategic Planning Area Committee.
Members of Donegal County Council are elected for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV) from multi-member local electoral areas (LEAs).
County Donegal is divided into local electoral areas and municipal districts, defined by electoral divisions.
The following were elected at the 2024 Donegal County Council election.
This list reflects the order in which councillors were elected on 7 June 2024.
Ardara, County Donegal

Ardara (English: /ɑːrˈdrɑː/ ar-DRAH; Irish: Ard an Rátha, meaning 'height of the fort') is a small town in County Donegal, Ireland. It is located on the N56 and R261 roads. The population as of the 2022 census was 785. The population of 731 at the 2011 Census represented an increase of about 30% since 2006. In 2012, The Irish Times named it the best village in which to live in Ireland.
Ardara, one of Donegal’s five designated heritage towns, is located in the southwest of the county. The town is near the Owenea River, known for salmon and trout fishing. Just beyond Ardara lies the Glengesh Pass, a scenic route leading to Glencolumbkille.
The Donegal County Directory for 1862 shows the administrative positions that were held in the county in that year, including several in Ardara. There is a photograph of Brendan Behan in Ardara with a glass of tomato juice while visiting Gildea's (now the Beehive) in 1960.
The town's name derives from an ancient earthen ring-fort that sits atop a hill northeast of the town. Christianity was introduced to Ardara in the 6th century by Saint Conall Caol, a direct descendant of Saint Colmcille. From the mid-17th to the late 19th century, the Nesbitt family of Woodhill played a significant role in Ardara's commercial development.
Ardara has a long-standing association with the tweed and knitwear industries. Since the 1870s, this trade has been a cottage industry, with locals producing hand-spun and hand-dyed woollen and tweed garments. The Ardara Heritage Centre, formerly the town's courthouse, provides insights into the evolution of the tweed industry. Today, several shops in Ardara continue to sell local tweed and knitwear.
Stained-glass artist Evie Hone's Rose Window can be seen in Ardara's Holy Family Church.
The Owenea River has salmon and trout fishing. There is pony trekking and surfing on local beaches. The nearby Narin and Portnoo links offers golfing.
Ardara's numerous festivals include the Cupan Tae Festival, Johnny Doherty Festival, Bluegrass Festival, Matchmaking Festival, Wild Atlantic Festival, Country & Western Festival, Walking Festival, Ardara Show Day and Melting Pot Festival.

Cadillac Mountain

Cadillac Mountain is located on Mount Desert Island, within Acadia National Park, in the U.S. state of Maine. With an elevation of 1,530 feet (470 meters), its summit is the highest point in Hancock County and the highest within 25 miles (40 km) of the Atlantic shoreline of the North American continent between the Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia, and peaks in Mexico. It is known as the first place in the continental U.S. to see the sunrise, although that is only true for a portion of the year.
Cadillac Mountain was originally inhabited by the Wabanaki People or the "People of the Dawn Land." The Wabanaki Confederacy consists of four tribes: Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot. Mount Desert Island provided the Wabanaki with a place to meet, trade, fish, and hunt. Before its name Green Mountain, it was thought the natives referred to the mountain as the Passamaquoddy word Pesamkuk. Additional research indicates that Pesamkuk refers to Mount Desert Island in general, and the name of the mountain itself was Wapuwoc, meaning "white mountain of the first light."
In the 1500s, the natives were confronted with European colonization; however, they withstood the confrontation and continue to inhabit the land today.
Before being renamed in 1918, the mountain had been called Green Mountain. The new name honors the French explorer and adventurer Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac. In 1688, De la Mothe requested and received from the Governor of New France a parcel of land in an area known as Donaquec which included part of the Donaquec River (now the Union River) and the island of Mount Desert in the present-day U.S. state of Maine. Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, a shameless self-promoter who had already appropriated the "de la Mothe" portion of his name from a local nobleman in his native Picardy, thereafter referred to himself as Antoine de la Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, Donaquec, and Mount Desert.
From 1883 until 1893 the Green Mountain Cog Railway ran to the summit to take visitors to the Green Mountain Hotel. The hotel burned down in 1895 and the cog train was sold and moved to the Mount Washington Cog Railway in New Hampshire.
The summit also played a significant role during World War II as a base for early-warning warcraft detection. The mountain's height and location made it the ideal place for a radar facility to achieve strong signals. Today the mountain continues to be used for communication by the police, National Park Service, Coast Guard, and fire department.
There are various hiking trails and a paved road that lead to the summit of Cadillac Mountain. Going to the summit to see the first sunrise in the continental U.S. is a common activity; however, Cadillac only experiences the first sunrise from October 7 through March 6. For a few weeks around the equinoxes, the sun rises first at West Quoddy Head in Lubec, Maine. During the remainder of spring and throughout summer, the sun rises first on Mars Hill, 150 miles (240 km) to the northeast.
Crazy Mountains

The Crazy Mountains, often called the Crazies, is a mountain range in the Central Montana Alkalic Province in the U.S. state of Montana. They are a part of the northern Rocky Mountains.
Spanning a distance of 40 miles (64 km), the Crazy Mountains are located between the Musselshell and Yellowstone rivers. The highest peak is Crazy Peak at 11,214 feet (3,418 m). Rising over 7,000 feet (2,130 m) above the Great Plains to the east, the Crazies dominate their surroundings and are plainly visible just north of Interstate 90.
The Crazy Mountains form an isolated island range east of the Continental Divide. Other isolated ranges in Montana include the Castle Mountains, Little Belt Mountains, Big Snowy Mountains, Little Snowy Mountains, Bears Paw Mountains, Judith Mountains, North and South Moccasin Mountains, Highwood Mountains, Little Rocky Mountains, Sweet Grass Hills, Bull Mountains and, in the southeastern corner of the state near Ekalaka, the Long Pines.
The Big Timber Stock, a large igneous intrusion, forms the bedrock in the Crazy Mountains. The stock is of Tertiary age, and consists of diorite and gabbro with zones of Quartz Monzodiorite, which has been intruded by many dikes and sills.
Geological features of the Crazy Mountains include:
Due to the eastern location, these mountains are drier and less densely forested than other mountain ranges in Montana. There are at least 40 alpine lakes in the range, 15 of which are named. The Crazy Mountains sit in both Gallatin National Forest and Lewis and Clark National Forest. The Crazies support a healthy herd of mountain goats and the occasional elusive wolverine.
In 1916, the Crazy Mountains were proposed as a location for a national park, yet Congress failed to pass the legislation. National Park Service officials considered the area again in 1935, yet they reported that a national park would not be feasible because "half of the land, every alternate section, is owned by the Northern Pacific Railroad or is in private hands."
The Crazies are almost completely surrounded by private lands making access into the mountains somewhat difficult, especially in the southern section where the highest peaks are located.
The name Crazy Mountains is said to be a shortened form of the name "Crazy Woman Mountains" given them in complement to their original Crow name, after a woman who went insane and lived in them after her family was killed in the westward settlement movement.
The Crow people called the mountains Awaxaawippíia', roughly translated as "Ominous Mountains", or even more roughly, "Crazy Mountains". They were famous to the Crow people for having metaphysical powers and being unpredictable—a place used for vision quests.
Biji nangka-kuniran

Biji nangka kuniran atau ikan kambing kuning (Mulloidichthys martinicus) adalah spesies ikan kambing endemik di Samudra Atlantik sekitar pantai Afrika dan Amerika. Spesies ini dapat mencapai panjang total 394 cm (155 in), tetapi sebagian besar mencapai panjang hanya sekitar 28 cm (11 in). Mereka tidak terlalu penting bagi perikanan komersial lokal, meskipun dilaporkan membawa toksin ciguatera.
Biji nangka kuniran adalah pengumpan bentik, menggunakan sepasang sungut kemosensori panjang ("kumis") yang menonjol dari dagunya untuk mengobrak-abrik sedimen untuk mencari makanan. Mereka biasanya memakan ikan yang lebih kecil, berburu di sekolah pada siang hari, dan sendirian di malam hari. Ikan kambing kuning dapat hidup soliter atau dalam kelompok berukuran serupa, terkadang berpindah antar kelompok. Saat berburu berkelompok, masing-masing ikagn biji nangka kuniran dapat menjadi pengejar, langsung menyerang mangsa atau sebagai penghambat, mengelilingi mangsa yang bersembunyi di karang.
Biji nangka kuniran dapat ditemukan di terumbu karang di perairan tropis di Pasifik, Atlantik di sekitar Amerika Serikat, di Teluk Meksiko, Laut Karibia, dan di sekitar Tanjung Verde .

Daftar nama siklon tropis

Siklon tropis dan siklon subtropis dinamai oleh berbagai pusat peringatan bencana untuk memudahkan komunikasi tentang prakiraan, pantauan, dan peringatan cuaca antara prakirawan cuaca dengan masyarakat. Nama-nama ini ditujukan untuk mengurangi kebingungan ketika terjadi beberapa badai dalam daerah yang sama. Secara umum, ketika suatu badai telah mencapai kecepatan angin lebih dari 33 knot (61 km/jam), nama-nama ini diberikan dari daftar yang telah ditentukan sebelumnya tergantung daerah asal badai tersebut. Meski demikian, aturan yang dipakai berbeda-beda antardaerah.
Jika sebuah sistem semakin menguat menjadi siklon tropis di antara khatulistiwa–10° LS dan 90° BT–141° BT, ia akan diberi nama oleh Badan Meteorologi, Klimatologi, dan Geofisika (BMKG/TCWC Jakarta). Nama-nama ini diberikan secara urut dari daftar A; daftar B berisi nama-nama yang akan menggantikan nama-nama dalam daftar A yang dibuang karena alasan tertentu.
Topan Nangka (2015)

Topan Nangka adalah sebuah siklon tropis besar dan kuat yang menyerang tengah Jepang pada Juli 2015. Nangka memulai perjalanan jangka panjangnya sebagai sebuah gangguan tropis di sepanjang Kepulauan Marshall dan barat International Dateline, menjadikannya angin ribut ketujuh yang dinamai dari musim topan tahunan pada 3 Juli. Topan tersebut sangat cepat saat berpindah dari barat ke barat laut dan menyandang status topan pada 6 Juli. Nangka berpindah melalui Kepulauan Mariana Utara, menghadap langsung ke arah pulau tak berpenghuni Alamagan. Tak lama setelah itu, topan tersebut mencapai puncak kecepatannya; Badan Meteorologi Jepang (BMJ) memperkirakan kecepatan angin tersebut dalam 10‑menit mencapai 185 km/h (115 mph), sementara Pusat Peringatan Topan Bersama (PPTB) tak resmi memperkirakan kecepatan angin tersebut dalam 1‑menit mencapai 250 km/h (155 mph), menjadikannya topan super. Nangka kemudian mengarah ke utara menuju tengah Jepang pada 16 Juli sebagai topan minimal. Kekuatannya meredam setelah itu, melewati Laut Jepang pada 18 Juli.
Angin ribut tersebut mula-mula menyerang Kepulauan Marshall, mengirim angin yang kuat ke ibu kota Majuro. Setengah kota terserbut kehilangan daya, dan beberapa perahu tenggelam. Efek minimal dikabarkan di Kepulauan Mariana Utara, dan kemudian arus angin tersebut berubah menjadi muson di Filipina. Dampak terburuk terjadi di Jepang, dimana curah hujan mencapai 740 mm (29 in) di Kamikitayama, Prefektur Nara. Total kerusahan di sepanjang kawasan Kansai mencapai ¥18 miliar (US$150 juta). Nangka menewaskan dua orang di Jepang, melukai 55 orang, dan menghancurkan dan menghanyutkan 220 rumah.

Debarq

Debarq (Amharic: ደባርቅ) also spelled Dabareq and Debark, is a town in northern Ethiopia, 90 kilometers north-east of Gondar on the highway between Gondar and Axum, and is in the Semien Gondar Zone of the Amhara Region. It has a latitude and longitude of 13°08′N 37°54′E﻿ / ﻿13.133°N 37.900°E﻿ / 13.133; 37.900 and an elevation of 2850 meters above sea level.
Debarq is located on the western foothills of the Semien mountains, and nowadays serves as a starting point for hiking tours to the Semien Mountains National Park.
The earliest sourced mention of Debarq appears to date back to the late 17th century, serving as a stopover for replenishment to journeys and military campaigns that emperor Iyasu I undertook from Gondar to the north.
In early 1770, explorer James Bruce was one of the earliest foreign sources to mention Debarq. Bruce noted in his journal, the contrasting and temperate climate as he passed through a market in Debarq.
In 1814, Debarq appeared on a map by traveller Henry Salt
Debarq's prosperity was due to its location on the Gondar-Massawa trade route; it is one of the stations on a route of the 1840s, according to a list compiled by Antoine Thomson d'Abbadie in his Geodesie d'Ethiopie. Richard Pankhurst notes that by the early 19th century its market was important enough to be one of six in Ethiopia requiring a nagadras ("head of the market") to oversee it and collect the fees. The revenue from taxes levied on the marketplace in the 1830s paid the governor of Semien province (Wube Haile Maryam) 3,000 Maria Theresa Thalers and about as much to the nagadras.
During a clash with his rebellious nephews, Emperor Tewodros II saw his close friend and advisor John Bell killed in battle here in 1860. Although his nephews were killed in the skirmish, and their 1700 followers immediately surrendered, he exacted vengeance the next day by beheading all of their men.
During Ethiopia's occupation by Fascist Italy, Debarq was the scene of violent fighting between the fascist Italian occupiers and local Ethiopian freedom fighters. After the liberation Debarq became the capital of the Semien Awragga.
During the Ethiopian Civil War, the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front launched an offensive against the Ethiopian Army's 603rd Army Corps of the Derg, and after destroying the government forces stationed at Debarq, they controlled the town 3 January 1989.
Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency, in 2005 Debarq had an estimated total population of 24,997, of whom 11,850 were males and 13,147 were females. The 1994 census reported this town had a total population of 14,474 of whom 6,235 were males and 8,239 were females. It is the largest settlement in Debarq woreda. The majority of the inhabitants practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 84.15% reporting that as their religion, while 11.77% of the population said they were Muslim.
Debarq was reported to have a population of about 8500 in 1984.
Headless Chickens

The Headless Chickens was a New Zealand band. Going against the grain of the Dunedin sound that dominated the Flying Nun Records roster at the time, the Headless Chickens made extensive use of electronic instruments in their music.
The Headless Chickens recorded three albums, Stunt Clown (1988), Body Blow (1991), and Greedy (1997), plus various EPs for Flying Nun Records in the 1980s and 1990s.
The band first became known in New Zealand when they won the 1987 Rheineck Beer Rock award. The prize money from the award went into the funding for their innovative (for its use of sampling) 1988 debut album Stunt Clown.
The 1988 CD release of Stunt Clown compiled the vinyl release of this name with the 1986 Headless Chickens EP.
A second album, Body Blow, appeared in 1991 which featured singer Fiona McDonald. It was during this time with McDonald that the Headless Chickens would attract their widest audience. Two versions of Body Blow were released, with the revised and expanded 1993 version going double platinum in New Zealand.
This album spawned the single "Cruise Control" which became a hit in New Zealand and (in a remixed form) Australia. "Cruise Control" was notable for its sampling, particularly for elements of Shona Laing's 1973 single "1905" and the Crocodiles' 1980 single "Tears".
At the time, the band's use of electronic elements and sampling in a "rock" setting was out of the ordinary and had an influence on many other N.Z. bands that followed them.
The follow-up 1997 Greedy album took several years to complete, and during that time several band members left, including singer McDonald. Greedy contained the track "George" which became a No. 1 hit single in their home country; "George" was the first (and so far, only) track from the Flying Nun Records label to achieve No. 1 status.
The Headless Chickens split up soon after the release of Greedy.
In 2002 Flying Nun Records released a 2CD best-of compilation named ChickensHits.
In July 2008 it was announced that the band would reform to play the Homebake Festival in Sydney, Australia on 6 December. The line-up would feature both Chris Matthews and Fiona McDonald. They played further concerts in Australia and New Zealand and were scheduled to play at the Auckland Big Day Out in January 2009.
On 27 January 2018, bassist Grant Fell died of cancer at the age of 56.
The group have appeared on many compilations and soundtracks since 1990 in both New Zealand and Australia. The following is a list of these albums that have featured tracks by the Headless Chickens.
