The ancient stone structures are located around the beach ridges.
Most of them are on the north and south sides.
Overall, twenty-one sites are known.
Three of them are larger than the others.
They can be found on the northwest side of the island.
The sites are either temples, houses or graves.
The temple ruins are referred to as marae.
Similar marae have also been found on other islands, such as Raivavae, one of the Austral Islands.
In 1828, guano was discovered on the island.
In 1856, the United States wanted to get the Island, but Australian firms had already started to mine the guano deposits.
Guano mining stopped about 1927.
In 1956 and 1957,  Great Britain tested H-bombs on the island.
The tests were called Operation Grapple.

York Minster is the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe.
The title Minster is given to churches which in the Anglo-Saxon period were missionary teaching churches.
York Minster is in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England.
It is the 'seat' of the Archbishop of York, the second-highest-ranking bishop in the Church of England.
The Minster is run by a Chapter (committee) under the Dean of York, who manages the affairs of the Minster.
The current archbishop (since 2005) is Dr. John Sentamu.
The architecture of the Minster is English Gothic architecture, from Early English in 1270 to Perpendicular in 1472.
The Minster has a wide, Decorated Gothic nave (where the congregation sits) and Chapter house.
The choir (spelled 'quire' by the church) is slightly later English Gothic architecture.
The east end, and north and south transepts are in a similar style.
The nave contains the West Window, constructed in 1338.
Some of the stained glass in York Minster dates back to the twelfth century.
Over the Lady Chapel in the east end is the Great East Window (finished in 1408), one of the largest areas of mediaeval stained glass in the world.
The window is known to be the work of John Thornton of Coventry a master glazier and stained glass artist who was active in England during the first half of the 15th century.
In the north transept is the Five Sisters Window, each narrow window being over  high.
The south transept contains the famous Rose window.
About 2 million individual pieces of glass make up the cathedral's 128 stained glass windows.
Much of the glass was removed before and pieced back together after the First and Second World Wars, and the windows are constantly being cleaned and restored to keep their beauty intact.
Towers and bells
A total of seven clock bells, 14 change ringing bells and 22 carillon bells are lodged in the towers.
The carillon bells are played on a baton keyboard in the ringing chamber.
The largest bell is Great Peter, which strikes the hour.
It weighs 10.8 tons.
York has had a Christian presence from the 300s.
The first church on the site was a wooden structure built hurriedly in 627 to provide a place to baptise Edwin, King of Northumbria.
A stone building was completed in 637, and was dedicated to Saint Peter.
Its school and library were started in the 7th century.
In 741 the church was destroyed in a fire.
It was rebuilt as a bigger building, with thirty altars.
The church and the entire area then passed through the hands of Norse invaders.
The Benedictine archbishop Ealdred travelled to Westminster to crown William in 1066.
Ealdred died in 1069 and was buried in the church.
The church was damaged in 1069, but the first Norman archbishop, arriving in 1070, organised repairs.
The Danes destroyed the church in 1075, but it was again rebuilt from 1080.
Built in the Norman style, it was 111 m (364.173 ft) long.
The new structure was damaged by fire in 1137 but was soon repaired.
The choir and crypt were remodelled in 1154, and a new chapel was built, all in the Norman style.
The Gothic style in cathedrals had arrived in the mid 12th century.
Walter de Gray was made archbishop in 1215 and ordered the construction of a Gothic structure to compare with Canterbury; building began in 1220.
The cathedral was declared complete and consecrated in 1472.
The English Reformation led to the first Anglican archbishop.
Some of the cathedral's treasures were taken by the Crown, and the church lost some of its land.
Under Elizabeth I there was an effort to remove all traces of the Roman Catholic Church from the cathedral; there was much destruction of tombs, windows, and altars.
In the English Civil War the city was besieged and fell to the forces of Cromwell in 1644, but Thomas Fairfax prevented any further damage to the cathedral.

They look like giant, ostrish-like yellow birds.
They first appeared in Final Fantasy 2 and were used in most Final Fantasy sequels after that.
They can be used to travel around the game, or play mini-games.

A Helicopter carrier is a type of aircraft carrier.
A helicopter carrier carries helicopters and sometimes airplanes as well.
Many countries have helicopter carriers because they are cheaper than aircraft carriers.
A Panzerfaust is a recoilless rifle that was invented by Germany.
A Panzerfaust can only be used once unlike the Panzerschreck or the Bazooka.
The Panzerfaust was used heavily late in World War II, especially during the Battle of Berlin.
They were made in very large numbers.
They were less powerful than later Rocket-propelled grenades.
An ambush ( also called a surprise attack) is a long-established military tactic.
It is a surprise attack from a hidden position against an enemy.
The enemy may be moving or they may have stopped.
Ambush uses the element of surprise to confuse the enemy soldiers long enough to be successful.
Unlike other surprise attacks, the point of an ambush is not to gain territory.
Instead it may be used to harass an enemy.
It may also be used to capture or destroy key assets (people, equipment, supplies, etc.).
One of the earliest recorded use of the ambush was in 9 AD in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.
A Germanic leader Arminius ambushed three Roman legions under the command of Varus.
The 20,000 Roman soldiers were strung out in a long line of march through the densely wooded forest.
They fought for days but in the end the Romans were completely destroyed.
This was not just a military victory, it was a psychological victory over the Romans.

Grape shot is a hollow ball, packed with small "grape" sized metal balls which can be fired by a gun or a cannon.
The hollow ball is fired as a single round that breaks apart upon leaving the muzzle of a cannon.
Grapeshot was much used until became obsolete during the 19th century.
An artillery shell is a hollow ball packed with explosive and a fuse.
The fuse is lit by the explosive charge that sends the shell towards its target.
It is designed to explode when it reaches its target.
Grape shot does not wait.
It begins to spread as soon as it leaves the gun or cannon.
Grape shot is quite different from a shell or shrapnel rounds.
Shrapnel, while similar to both, is different and more deadly.
Invented by a British officer during the Napoleonic Wars, it is a fused explosive shell filled with many small balls or iron/lead bits.
When the shell bursts the small bits scatter in a more or less spherical pattern with usually fatal force.
All three of these rounds, grape shot, shell, and shrapnel, are extremely effective against troops, horses and other livestock.
They can also destroy wooden structures from their fragments.
Shells have historically been particularly effective as incendiaries against wooden targets, which they ignite from the heat of their explosive blast.
Grape shot sends out mini-missiles across a wide pattern.
This is best for people targets, but it may be quite damaging against nearby wooden structures.
A Banzai charge (or "banzai attack") (萬歳突撃) was a tactic used by Japanese soldiers against the American soldiers when they were losing World War II.
Banzai charges were usually suicide charges.
This was so they would have an honourable death without surrender.
Also, the charges were a final attempt to gain success against the Allied forces, which usually had more troops.
Paratroopers are soldiers trained in parachuting and generally operate as part of an airborne force.
Using paratroopers is called paradrop operations.
The idea of dropping soldiers from height dates back to Benjamin Franklin whose idea was to drop soldiers with parachutes from balloons.
The idea was not very practical, but the development of aeroplanes in World War I meant that it was feasible (that is: a working idea) to drop soldiers with parachutes from air.
Italy was the first country which founded airborne forces in the 1930s.
Germany and Soviet Union soon followed.
Germany was the first country to use paratroopers, called Fallschirmjäger (German language for "parachute ranger") in combat in World War Two.
Germany dropped paratroops in Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway in 1940.
United Kingdom founded its own airborne forces in 1941.
The first British paradrop operation was a guerrilla strike against an important water line in Italy.
In 1941, the Germans launched a massive paradrop operation in Crete, capturing the island from the British.
The British troops had fought back so bitterly and caused so heavy casualties (that is: dead and wounded) to the German paratroopers that Adolf Hitler forbade any further paradrop operations.
When United States joined the war, it founded its own airborne forces.
Americans made paradrops in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany itself.
The first really large paradrop operation was the Normandy invasion, called "Operation Overlord" 6.6.
1944 where the British dropped one and Americans dropped two divisions of paratroopers in Normandy, France to capture important bridges and traffic junctions.
The largest paradrop operation ever was Operation Market Garden in September 1944, which led into liberation of Belgium and capture of important ports at Rhine mouth.
The last paradrop operation in World War Two was  Operation Varsity, which was used to secure the bridgeheads at River Rhine and to open roads to Germany itself.
The development of helicopter meant that troops could now be carried and landed quickly on the spot and there was no more need for large scale paradrop operations.
The last large paradrop has been during the Suez Crisis 1951 when the British dropped a battalion of paratroops at Suez.
Paratroops are elite troops in all armies around the world.
They work as light infantry, and receive an extremely hard and good training.
They are taught to run, fight, carry weapons, move and survive in very difficult terrain and conditions.
All paratroopers are always volunteers.
To become a paratrooper, a soldier must be very fit, very intelligent, have a very good discipline and have enough courage to jump off an aeroplane.
Paratroopers are mainly used as rangers in modern warfare.
A ranger is a soldier who is employed very far from home base, often behind enemy lines.
Their main task is to capture important bridges, buildings, villages and other sites, do guerrilla strikes like blowing up an enemy railway line, capture enemy leaders and important soldiers and do long range reconnaissance (that is: scouting and gathering information of enemy troops, movements etc).
Paratroopers are dropped off at a place where they are meant to operate.
This is called a drop zone (DZ).
Paratroopers usually jump from heights of 100 to 400 m. They usually use round "bell" parachutes and they use static line deployment. (
See the article Parachute on how the static line works.)
They usually carry pistols and rifles with them, and their other weapons and gear are dropped on containers at the same time.
Once the paratroopers have landed, they take off their parachute rigs and gather to designated places.
Their leaders then assign them orders.
For example they may capture a bridge so their troops can use it, or destroy it with explosives so the enemy cannot use it.
Paratroopers usually fight as light infantry.
They usually have few heavy weapons, and no tanks or heavy artillery.
Once the paratroopers have carried out their mission, they usually wait for their ground troops to arrive and take control.
They may continue to fight on the ground, or may return to base and prepare for the next drop.

Cypress Gardens opened on January 2, 1936 as a flower garden planted by Dick and Julie Pope.
Over the years, it became one of the biggest attractions in Florida, known for its water ski shows, nice gardens, and Southern Belle models.
It became known as the "Water Ski Capital of the World" because many of the sport's major "firsts" and over 50 world records were broken there.
Many movies have been filmed at the park, including parts of "This is Cinerama," the first feature filmed in that wide-screen format, and several of Esther Williams films and TV specials in the 1950s and 1960s.
With their addition of a custom photography boat named Miss Cover Girl in the early 1960s, the park became a popular site for the filming of television commercials.
Competition for guests increased after the Walt Disney World Resort opened nearby in 1971.
In the early 1980s, the Popes retired and gave the park to their son, Dick Pope Jr.
In the 1980s, book publisher Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich bought the park along with SeaWorld, Circus World (later rebuilt as Boardwalk & Baseball) and Stars Hall of Fame, but sold most of the businesses to Anheuser-Busch in 1989.
Busch continued to run Cypress Gardens until April 1, 1995, when a group of the park's managers led by Bill Reynolds bought the property.
Under President and CEO Reynolds, the park ran until April 13, 2003, when it closed after a long tourism decline following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
529 people were put out of work with only three days notice.
Right away the Friends of Cypress Gardens, started and led by Burma Davis Posey, was founded.
They enrolled members in all 50 states and 27 countries.
Within three and a half months, this grass-roots effort raised $13,500,000 and saved the park.
On February 22, 2004, Adventure Parks Group, owned by Kent Buescher, bought the property and renamed it Cypress Gardens Adventure Park.
The purchase of the amusement park portion of the Cypress Gardens property was part of a larger conservation agreement.
In that agreement, the entire  site was bought from its previous owner, First Gardens, L.C., by The Trust for Public Land, a nation wide conservation group .
TPL then sold a conservation access over the entire property to the state of Florida, while Polk County purchased the  gardens portion of the property, less the development rights conveyed in the state agreement.
Adventure Parks Group purchased the balance of the property, also subject to the conservation agreement.
Buescher's plan to reopen the park in September 2004 was delayed by damages created by hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne.
Cypress Gardens Adventure Park finally opened in November 2004.
One of its new rides, the Triple Hurricane roller coaster, was named for the fierce storm season.
The Splash Island water park opened in 2005, along with the Galaxy Spin roller coaster.
Many celebrities have skied and visited at the park, including Elvis Presley, Jordan's former King Hussein and his son, King Abdullah II.
On Monday, November 10, 2008, Land South Holdings announced the temporary closure of the park, which was shut down November 17 of that year.
It reopened on March 28, 2009 with an expanded water park, named Splash Island.
The rides and animals, however, were gone.
The reopening prices were reduced.
Cypress Gardens and Splash Island now have separate ticketing, though seasonal passes are available.
Parking is now free.

The Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion is a musical composition by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók.
It was written for a very unusual combination of players.
Four players are needed to perform this sonata: two pianists and two percussion players.
The two pianists each have a piano, and the two percussion players play seven instruments between them: three timpani, xylophone, one side drum with snares and one without, a suspended cymbal, a pair of cymbals, a bass drum, a triangle and a tam-tam.
There are three movements: a fast movement, a slow movement and a fast movement.
The first movement starts with a slow introduction.
There are many interesting and unusual things to listen out for in the music.
For example, in the first movement the timpani sometimes play glissandos.
This means that the pitch of the notes slides up or down.
The player needs to have timpani with pedals to do this.
This movement is in sonata form.
The second movement sounds very creepy.
Bartók quite often wrote music which sounded like insects at night.
This is one of his “night pieces”.
In the climax to this exciting music Piano One plays lots of glissandos.
The last movement is a big contrast to the atmosphere in the slow movement.
It is like a lively dance.
The sonata was first performed in Basle in 1938 with the composer playing one piano and his wife Ditta playing the other one.
Fritz Schiesser and Philipp Rühlig played the percussion.
It immediately became very popular and has since been one of his best- known works.
Bartók also made a version for the two pianos to play with an orchestra, but it is not normally performed like that.

Compositions by Béla Bartók
Concerto for Orchestra is the title of a work for orchestra by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók.
It is one of the most famous orchestral pieces of the mid-20th century.
Several composers have written works to which they gave the title “Concerto for Orchestra”.
It is an unusual title because a concerto is normally a work for one solo instrument and an orchestra.
The soloist is given a lot of opportunity to show off his (or her) talent.
In a “Concerto for Orchestra” there is no soloist, but the composer thinks it is different from a symphony because a lot of the instruments in the orchestra are treated like soloists during the piece.
This is what happens in Béla Bartók’s concerto.
The work was written in 1943 and it was first performed on 1 December 1944 in the Boston Symphony Hall by the Boston Symphony Orchestra with the conductor Serge Koussevitzky.
It was immediately a great success.
Koussevitszky asked Bartók to write this piece.
Bartók had just arrived in United States from Hungary.
He had to flee because of World War II.
Bartók had no money and so he was glad to get some work.
Bartók often uses ideas from the Classical music period in this work.
He also uses ideas from folk music from central Europe, especially Hungarian music.
Quite often the music is not in a major or minor key.
He uses folk scales which have different kinds of scales called modes.
Sometimes tunes sound like folk music.
At other times there are drones in the horns and strings.
The five movements
The first movement, called Introduzione by Bartók, is a slow introduction which sounds like music describing the night.
This is something Bartók did several times in his works.
It is in sonata form.
The second movement is called "Giuoco delle coppie" which means "Game of pairs".
Pairs of instruments take it in turns to play a tune, each pair playing music which is separated by a different interval.
The third movement, called Elegia by Bartók, is another slow movement, typical of Bartók's night music.
The fourth movement, called Intermezzo interrotto by Bartók, has a flowing melody with a time signature which keeps changing.
There is also a theme which pokes fun at the march tune in Dmitri Shostakovich's "Leningrad" Symphony (No.
There is a very difficult bit for the timpani where the player has to play lots of different pitches in a very short section.
The fifth movement, called Finale is a very fast movement with lots of energy and plenty of folk tunes.

Bluebird K7 was a boat built for Donald Campbell to break the World Water Speed Record.
Bluebird was a special kind of boat, called a hydroplane, that  skims over the top of the water instead of pushing through it like a normal boat.
Bluebird was powered by a jet engine.
It set new world water speed records seven times; the fastest  was 276 mph (445 km/h).
Bluebird was destroyed when Campbell tried to set an eighth record by going faster than 300 mph (480 km/h) on Coniston Water in 1967.
Campbell had been using his father's boat, Bluebird K4, to try and set new records.
Bluebird K4 was destroyed when its structure broke.
After this, Donald had the idea for a jet powered hydroplane to take the world water speed record from the American propeller hydroplane Slo-mo-shun.
Ken and Lewis Norris designed and built K7 based on Donald's ideas.
K7 was a three-point hydroplane, meaning that when going quickly the boat only touched the water in three places, one point near the back of the boat and one point at the back of the two sponsons (the sponsons are the floats either side of the boat, near its front in the photos).
It was built of aluminium on top of a steel frame and was at first powered by a small turbojet.
23 July 1955, 202 mph (324 km/h), set at Ullswater in England
1955, 216 mph (348 km/h)
1956, 225 mph (362 km/h)
1957, 239 mph (385 km/h)
1958, 248 mph (399 km/h)
1959, 260 mph (420 km/h)
31 December 1964, 276 mph (445 km/h), set at Dumbleyung Lake in Australia
Bluebird's old engine was not strong enough to make it go this fast, so it was replaced with a more powerful Bristol Siddeley Orpheus engine taken from an old fighter jet.
Many other changes were made, the tail fin from the fighter was attached to Bluebird's rear, the cover over the cockpit was changed to push through the air more easily, and the floats at the front were also changed.
Bluebird was taken to Coniston Water to be tested in 1966.
The tests did not go well, the weather was too bad to test the boat while moving, so it was tied down and tested without moving instead.
When testing the engine it sucked in too much air and caused parts of the boat to break.
The engine was broken when the broken parts were sucked into it.
This meant that the entire engine had to be replaced.
At the end of November the weather was good enough for some test runs, but the speed was a lot lower than Bluebird's old records.
The fuel pumps could not pump enough fuel to the engine so it could not run at full speed.
The problem was fixed by fitting two fuel pumps instead of one.
On 4 January 1967, the problems had all been fixed, the weather was good and Campbell decided he wanted to try and break the speed record.
For a world record to be official, a boat trying to set a record has to make two runs at full speed that are timed by people who are not part of the record breaking team.
The official speed is the average speed of the two runs.
On the first run Bluebird's speed was 297.6 mph (478.9 km/h) which was fast enough to be a new record, but not quite as fast as Campbell wanted to go.
To set a record of more than 300 mph the second run would have to be 302.5 mph or faster.
The plan for the world record attempt was for Bluebird to stop at the far end of the lake and refuel from another boat that had been put there for that purpose.
Taking time to refuel would also give the lake, which had been disturbed by the first run, time to settle down again.
On the actual record attempt, Campbell decided not to refuel and instead started on his second run immediately.
Why he did this is unknown.
At the start of the second run, Bluebird was going faster than 320 mph (510 km/h) and would have easily broken the 300 mph target, but as the boat travelled along the lake it started tramping (which means rocking from side to side).
Bluebird hit a wave made on the lake from its own first run and the boat spun out of the water.
When it hit the water again it broke into pieces and sank.
Donald Campbell was killed in the crash.
His teddy bear mascot was found floating in the lake later on but Campbell's body could not be found.
In 2001 a diver called Bill Smith led a salvage team which found Bluebird on the bottom of Coniston Water, and later lifted the wreck back to dry land.
The wreck was taken apart carefully to keep it from rusting and is now being put back together again.
There was a lot of damage caused in the crash but it can all be repaired.
Bill Smith also got a new engine for Bluebird and hopes to return the boat to full working order.
Donald Campbell's body was also found in 2001.
He was buried on 12th September 2001 in Coniston cemetery.
In agreement with the Campbell Family Heritage Trust and the museum, Bill Smith is to organise the restoration of the boat, which is now under way.[9] The intention is to rebuild K7 back to running order circa 4 January 1967.
Gina Campbell commented: "I've decided to secure the future of Bluebird for the people of Coniston, the Ruskin Museum and the people of the world".
The Telamiina 65 77 (Track mine model 66, with detonator model 77) is a Finnish Army standard issue anti-tank mine.
The mine is made of 9.5 kg (~21 lbs) of cast TNT.
The mine is armed with a detonator that is set to explode when at least 100 kg (~220 lbs) of pressure is applied to it.
The blast effect of the mine blows the track off of tanks and damages their driving wheel.
The mine is also known as the Kuntonappi ("Fitness pill") or the Tellu (female name, shortened form of Tellervo9).

All music composed by Arma Angelus.
All lyrics written by Pete Wentz.
Arma Angelus was a metalcore band from Chicago.
The band started in 1998 and broke up in 2002.
The members of the band were Peter Wentz (singer, now plays bass guitar in Fall Out Boy), Tim McIlrath (played bass guitar, now lead singer of Rise Against), Jay Jancetic (played guitar, now plays guitar for the Chicago band Holy Roman Empire), Daniel Binaei (played guitar), Adam Bishop (played guitar, now an English teacher at San Dieguito High School Academy in Encinitas, California), and Timothy Miller (played the drums).
After Tim quit to start a new band called Rise Against, he was replaced in 1999 by Christopher Gutierrez.
Gutierrez is now a touring author and spoken word artist.
He was replaced as the bass guitar player for one tour by Joseph Trohman (now plays guitar in the band Fall Out Boy).
Trohman was not a good fit for the band in terms of knowing about the music style and in terms of stage presence.
He was replaced mid-tour when the band flew Chris Gutierrez out to New York for the final half of their tour, including a stop at CBGB's.
