Berkeley Pit
The Berkeley Pit is a former open pit copper mine located in Butte, Montana, United States.
It is one mile long by half a mile wide with an approximate depth of .
It is filled to a depth of about with water that is heavily acidic (2.5 pH level), about the acidity of cola or lemon juice.
As a result, the pit is laden with heavy metals and dangerous chemicals that leach from the rock, including copper, arsenic, cadmium, zinc, and sulfuric acid.
The mine was opened in 1955 and operated by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, and later by the Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO), until its closure on Earth Day in 1982.
When the pit was closed, the water pumps in the nearby Kelley Mine, 3,800 feet below the surface, were turned off, and groundwater from the surrounding aquifers began to slowly fill the Berkeley Pit, rising at about the rate of one foot a month.
Since its closure in 1982, the water level in the pit has risen to within 150 feet of the natural water table.
The pit and its water present a serious environmental problem because the water, with dissolved oxygen, allows pyrite and sulfide minerals in the ore and wall rocks to decay, releasing acid.
When the pit water level eventually reaches the natural water table, estimated to occur by around 2020, the pit water will reverse flow back into surrounding groundwater, polluting Silver Bow Creek, which is the headwaters of Clark Fork of the Columbia River.
The acidic water in the pit carries a heavy load of dissolved heavy metals.
The pit's water contains so much metal that at one point one of its owners, Montana Resources, mined copper directly from the water.
The first plans for solving the groundwater problem were devised in the 1990s.
Water flowing into the pit has been diverted by the Horseshoe Bend Water Treatment Plant to slow the rise of the water level.
Construction started on a water treatment facility in September 2018, with the goal to have the facility fully operational five years before the pit's water level rises high enough to contaminate the groundwater of Butte.
The Berkeley Pit is currently one of the largest Superfund sites.
The Berkeley Pit is currently a tourist attraction, with an adjacent gift shop.
An admission fee is charged to go out on the viewing platform.
Ghost (Swedish band)
Ghost, also formerly known as Ghost B.C. in the United States, is a Swedish rock band that was formed in Linköping, Sweden in 2006.
In 2010, they released a 3-track demo followed by a 7" vinyl titled "Elizabeth", and later their debut full-length album "Opus Eponymous".
The song "Ritual" was chosen by "Kerrang!"
as one of "The 50 Most Evil Songs Ever.
"
The Grammis-nominated album was widely praised and significantly increased their popularity.
Their second album and major label debut, "Infestissumam", was released in 2013, debuted at number one in Sweden, and won the Grammis Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Album.
The band released their third studio album, "Meliora", in 2015 to much critical acclaim and high record sales, reaching number one in their home country of Sweden, and number eight in the United States.
Its lead single, "Cirice", earned them the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
The band released their fourth studio album, "Prequelle", in 2018.
Ghost is easily recognizable owing greatly to its eccentric on-stage presence.
Seven of the group's eight members, its 'Nameless Ghouls', wear virtually identical, face-concealing costumes.
Prior to a 2017 lawsuit filed by former members of the band, lead singer Tobias Forge obscured his identity behind the character "Papa Emeritus".
The character, which consists of Forge in a prosthetic mask and makeup, can be best described as a 'demonic anti-pope'.
The Papa Emeritus Character has gone through four incarnations - I, II, III, and Nihil.
As of the 2018 album "Prequelle" and subsequent world tour, Forge portrays a character known as "Cardinal Copia", who is described as being unrelated to any of the Papa Emeritus characters and whose costume consists of either Cardinal vestments or a black or white tuxedo alongside a prosthetic mask with black eye makeup and the multi-colored eyes which had been present in each Papa character.

Pit (botany)
Pits are thin portions of the cell wall that adjacent cells can communicate or exchange fluid through.
Pits are characteristic of cell walls with secondary layers.
Generally each pit has a complementary pit opposite of it in the neighboring cell.
These complementary pits are called" pit pairs".
Pits are composed of three parts: the pit chamber, the pit aperture, and the pit membrane.
The pit chamber is the hollow area where the secondary layers of the cell wall are absent.
The pit aperture is the opening at either end of the pit chamber.
The pit membrane is the primary cell wall and middle lamella, or the membrane between adjacent cell walls, at the middle of the pit chamber.
The primary cell wall at the pit membrane may also have depressions similar to the pit depressions of the secondary layers.
These depressions are primary pit-fields, or primary pits.
In the primary pit, the primordial pit provides an interruption in the primary cell wall that the plasmodesmata can cross.
The primordial pit is the only aperture in the otherwise continuous primary cell wall.
Pit pairs are a characteristic feature of the xylem, as sap flows through the pits of xylem cells.

Cactus Ridge
Cactus Ridge was the name given to a rise of land approximately southeast of Mashiki, Okinawa which commanded much of the ground between Uchitomari and Oyama, both of which lie along Highway No. 1.
The defense of Cactus Ridge to the west, and The Pinnacle to the east, marked the start of resistance by Japanese land forces on Okinawa.
