Thirteenth floor
The thirteenth floor is a designation of a level of a multi-level building that is often omitted in countries where the number is considered unlucky.
Omitting the 13th floor may take a variety of forms; the most common include denoting what would otherwise be considered the thirteenth floor as level 14, giving the thirteenth floor an alternate designation such as" 12 A" or" M"( the thirteenth letter of the Latin alphabet), or closing the 13th floor to public occupancy or access( e.g., by designating it as a mechanical floor).
Reasons for omitting a thirteenth floor include triskaidekaphobia on the part of the building's owner or builder, or a desire by the building owner or landlord to prevent problems that may arise with superstitious tenants, occupants, or customers.
In 2002, based on an internal review of records, Dilip Rangnekar of Otis Elevators estimated that 85% of the buildings with Otis brand elevators did not have a floor named the 13th floor.
Early tall- building designers, fearing a fire on the 13th floor, or fearing tenants' superstitions about the rumor, decided to omit having a 13th floor listed on their elevator numbering.
In Christianity, the number 13 is often seen as unlucky or even evil, due to Judas being called the 13th of Jesus ’s 12 disciples, the one that betrays Jesus.
This practice became commonplace, and eventually found its way into American mainstream culture and building design.

Martha Boesing

She was the founding artistic director of the Minneapolis experimental feminist theater collective At the Foot of the Mountain.
Forbordsfjellet
Forbordsfjellet is a mountain in the municipality of Stjørdal in Trøndelag county, Norway.
The tall mountain lies directly to the north of Trondheim Airport, Værnes and the town of Stjørdalshalsen and about northeast of the village of Skatval.
There is a toll road to the summit from European route E6 near Skatval Church.
Forbordsfjellet is also used for paragliding.
Fram IL organizes a 4.8 km long backhill race that starts at Skatval church and has a finish at the top of the mountain.
Many tourists and residents come to the top to look at the views of Nedre Stjørdalen, Åsenfjorden and towards Trondheim.
The name comes from the Forbord hamlet located west of the mountain, and the name Forbord supposedly means" at the foot of the mountain".
Thus, the name Forbordsfjellet can, oddly enough, be translated into" at the foot of the mountain- mountain".
The solution to this logical problem may be that the hamlet at the foot of the mountain may have been named Forbord first, but when the locals forgot the name of the name, the mountain was given the name Forbordsfjellet.
There are no other known names on the mountain.
A popular destination for hiking is Svartkamhytta.
