Our Lady of the Rockies
Our Lady of the Rockies is a 90-foot (27 m) statue built in the likeness of Mary, the mother of Jesus, that stands atop the Continental Divide overlooking Butte, Montana, United States.

It is the fourth-tallest statue in the United States after Birth of the New World, the Statue of Liberty, and the Pegasus and Dragon. The base is 8,510 feet above sea level and approximately 3,000 feet above the town. The statue sits on private land and is lit and visible at night.

The statue was originally conceived by Butte resident Bob O'Bill in 1979 as a tribute to the Virgin Mary following the recovery of his wife from cancer. Later, the statue was additionally dedicated to "all women, especially mothers."

Statue
A statue is a free-standing sculpture in which the realistic, full-length figures of persons or animals are carved or cast in a durable material such as wood, metal or stone. Typical statues are life-sized or close to life-size. A sculpture that represents persons or animals in full figure, but that is small enough to lift and carry is a statuette or figurine, whilst those that are more than twice life-size are regarded as colossal statues.

Statues have been produced in many cultures from prehistory to the present; the oldest-known statue dating to about 30,000 years ago. Statues represent many different people and animals, real and mythical. Many statues are placed in public places as public art. The world's tallest statue, Statue of Unity, is 182 metres (597 ft) tall and is located near the Narmada dam in Gujarat, India.
Croatia–Serbia football rivalry
The Croatia–Serbia football rivalry is a football rivalry between the national football teams of Croatia and Serbia.

Although from a sports perspective, it does not fulfill the requirements of a football rivalry, as Croatia and Serbia/Yugoslavia only met four times: two each in the UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying and another two occasions during their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaigns, it is proclaimed by some Western media to be one of the most hostile in world football due to their complex political history stemming from World War II and the breakup of Yugoslavia. The two rivals had previously both represented the Yugoslavia national football team, and contributed the bulk of the team's footballers during almost 70 years of its existence. Both national sides are governed by UEFA in Europe, in addition to FIFA during their international matches.

In 1997, Mijatović was named runner-up for the Ballon d'Or, behind Ronaldo and ahead of Zinedine Zidane. After his playing career, he served as director of football for Real Madrid from 2006 to 2009.

Products are tested following a monadic methodology, on their own merits, not competing against other products. Products reaching a global score above 70% are granted the Superior Taste Award.
