Mormon Row Historic District - Mormon Row is a line of homestead complexes along the Jackson-Moran Road near the southeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, in the valley called Jackson Hole. The rural historic landscape's period of significance includes the construction of the Andy Chambers, T.A. Moulton and John Moulton farms from 1908 to the 1950s. Six building clusters and a separate ruin illustrate Mormon settlement in the area and comprise such features as drainage systems, barns, fields and corrals. Apart from John and T.A. Moulton, other settlers in the area were Joseph Eggleston, Albert Gunther, Henry May, Thomas Murphy and George Riniker. The area is also known as Antelope Flats, situated between the towns of Moose and Kelly. It is a popular destination for tourists and photographers on account of the historic buildings, the herds of bison, and the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background. The alluvial soil to the east of Blacktail Butte was more suitable than most locations in Jackson Hole for farming, somewhat hampered by a lack of readily available water. The Mormon homesteaders began to arrive in the 1890s from Idaho, creating a community called "Gros Ventre", with a total of 27 homesteads. The Mormon settlers tended to create clustered communities, in contrast to the isolated homesteads more typical of Jackson Hole. Mormon Row was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_Row_Historic_District]
Grand Teton National Park is a United States National Park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (480 sq mi; 130,000 ha; 1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. It is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service-managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding National Forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18,000,000-acre (7,300,000 ha) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems in the world. Human history of the Grand Teton region dates back at least 11,000 years, when the first nomadic hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indians began migrating into the region during warmer months pursuing food and supplies. In the early 19th century, the first White explorers encountered the eastern Shoshone natives. Between 1810 and 1840, the region attracted fur trading companies that vied for control of the lucrative beaver pelt trade. U.S. Government expeditions to the region commenced in the mid-19th century as an offshoot of exploration in Yellowstone, with the first permanent white settlers in Jackson Hole arriving in the 1880s. Efforts to preserve the region as a national park commenced in the late 19th century, and in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the major peaks of the Teton Range. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s, when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park. Against public opinion and with repeated Congressional efforts to repeal the measures, much of Jackson Hole was set aside for protection as Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. The monument was abolished in 1950 and most of the monument land was added to Grand Teton National Park. Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second-highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile-long (24 km) Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper main stem of the Snake River. Though in a state of recession, a dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations near the highest peaks in the range. Some of the rocks in the park are the oldest found in any U.S. National Park and have been dated at nearly 2.7 billion years. Grand Teton National Park is an almost pristine ecosystem and the same species of flora and fauna that have existed since prehistoric times can still be found there. More than 1,000 species of vascular plants, dozens of species of mammals, 300 species of birds, more than a dozen fish species and a few species of reptiles and amphibians exist. Due to various changes in the ecosystem, some of them human-induced, efforts have been made to provide enhanced protection to some species of native fish and the increasingly threatened whitebark pine. Grand Teton National Park is a popular destination for mountaineering, hiking, fishing and other forms of recreation. There are more than 1,000 drive-in campsites and over 200 miles (320 km) of hiking trails that provide access to backcountry camping areas. Noted for world-renowned trout fishing, the park is one of the few places to catch Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. Grand Teton has several National Park Service-run visitor centers, and privately operated concessions for motels, lodges, gas stations and marinas.

Dark Lord: (With a tad too much pathos in his voice) "I am Darth Ragnagoth the Great! Ruler of this city, the whole planet and the nearby sectors. If you go now, you shall leave this planet unharmed."
General Rox: "In the name of the Republic, surrender your weapons and capitulate. We will put in a good word for you in court. Only 10 or 20 standard years in the ore mines of Delrian..."
Dark Lord: "If you little creatures continue to annoy me, I'll be forced to activate my lightsaber and cut you a little."
General Rox: "Go ahead then, Dark Lord!"
Darth Ragnagoth turned his back to the Republic forces... and... activated his lightsaber!
General Rox: "Sir, it looks like you just put a wooden stick on your lightsaber hilt, no?"

La cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais, commencée en 1225, est connue comme ayant la hauteur sous voûte la plus élevée de l'âge gothique : 48 mètres. Si la cathédrale Notre-Dame d'Amiens est la plus vaste de France, Saint-Pierre de Beauvais demeure à jamais la plus haute d'Europe. Cette hauteur, voulue dès l'origine, a fragilisé tout l'édifice depuis le Moyen Âge
« L'Alhambra ! l'Alhambra ! Palais que les génies
Ont doré comme un rêve et rempli d'harmonies.
Forteresse aux créneaux festonnés et croulants
Où l'on entend la nuit de magiques syllabes,
Quand la lune, à travers les mille arceaux arabes,
Sème les murs de trèfles blancs. »
Victor Hugo - Extrait de « Les Orientales »
L'Alhambra (en arabe : الْحَمْرَاء, Al-Ḥamrā' , « la rouge », en raison de la couleur que prennent les murailles au coucher du soleil) de Grenade est un ensemble palatial, et un des monuments majeurs de l'architecture islamique et l'acropole médiévale la plus majestueuse du monde méditerranéen.
C'est avec la Grande mosquée de Cordoue le plus prestigieux témoin de la présence musulmane en Espagne du viiie au xve siècle. Leurs caractères sont d'ailleurs opposés : à la sobriété grandiose du monument religieux représentatif de la première architecture islamique, s'oppose l'exubérance de la dernière manière hispano-mauresque : celle-ci s'exprime en effet dans les palais des derniers souverains nasrides, alors en pleine décadence, et qui disparaîtront bientôt lors des derniers assauts de la Reconquista.
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in 889 and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid 11th century by the Berber king Badis ben Habus of the Kingdom of Granada who built its current palace and walls, and later converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.
The Alhambra's Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain and its court of the Nasrid dynasty. After the Reconquista by the Reyes Católicos ("Catholic Monarchs") in 1492, some portions were used by Christian rulers. The Palace of Charles V, built by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1527, was inserted in the Alhambra within the Nasrid fortifications. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the Alhambra was rediscovered in the 19th century by European scholars and travelers, with restorations commencing. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well known Arab-Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the inspiration for many songs and stories.
La Alhambra es una ciudad palatina andalusí situada en Granada, España. Es un rico complejo palaciego y fortaleza (alcázar o al-qasr القصر) que alojaba al monarca y a la corte del Reino nazarí de Granada. Su verdadero atractivo, como en otras obras musulmanas de la época, no sólo radica en los interiores, cuya decoración está entre las cumbres del arte andalusí, sino también en su localización y adaptación, generando un paisaje nuevo pero totalmente integrado con la naturaleza preexistente. En 2011 se convirtió en el monumento más visitado de España, recibiendo la cifra histórica de 2.310.764 visitantes.
Construction was commenced on this little church in 1849 but was not completed until 1862 and consecrated in 1867.
Considering the distance out of town it has quite a large cemetery attached.

We reached the mess hall quickly and were ambushed. The droids were waiting as if someone had told them where we would go. We held them off for what seemed like hours. Fire and Frack were able to create a temporary shelter from the droids blaster fire. A sith emerged through the mist with a red bladed lightsaber, his eyes glaring with a furious yellow.
"TRAITOR!" I screamed.
He glared at me, his face turned to deathly grin and he started laughing, a dark laugh, influenced by the jaws of death. . I approached him, whipping out my twin blasters. Another soldier from the First attacked him and I continued to along with my squadron surround him and fire from all sides. He turned this way and that blocking hundreds of our blaster shots but finally, A clone from the 1st regiment killed him.

This single-storey timber building was constructed in 1886 as the permanent premises for the Normanton branch of the Bank of New South Wales.
By the mid 1880s Normanton, on the Norman River, had developed as the port for a large extent of pastoral and mining country, including the Cloncurry gold and copper fields, and the Etheridge and Croydon goldfields. The development of banking facilities was important to the commercial role of Normanton as a supply centre for the Gulf region. Normanton was constituted a municipality in 1886.
The Bank of New South Wales commenced trading in Normanton in 1884 in rented premises, acquiring the present site in 1885. The building was designed by Richard Gailey, who was responsible for the design of bank buildings elsewhere in Queensland during the late 1880s.
The building was used as both the bank premises and manager's residence until the late 1960s when the manager moved to a new residence. The residential component of the building was kept as staff quarters until 1971 when it was replaced by new staff quarters at the rear of the bank building.
In 1978 substantial internal alterations were undertaken to the premises to update the banking facilities. The verandahs which had been enclosed by the mid-1960s were reopened.
A storage shed was erected on the site in 1991.
The Westpac Bank is the only remaining banking facility in Normanton.

Developed in the 1970s by the Marshall Space Flight Center, the space shuttle main engine was the world's most sophisticated reusable rocket engine. After the solid rocket boosters were jettisoned, the main engines provided thrust which accelerated the shuttle from 3,000 mph to more than 17,000 mph in order to reach low earth orbit. The engines operated for 8 minutes and 40 seconds for each shuttle flight, with a combined output of 37 million horsepower, and a combined maximum thrust of more than 1.2 million pounds.

L’histoire de l’escalier royal : tout commence au XVe siècle, le bassin méditerranéen est un carrefour commercial et culturel entre l’Asie, l’Afrique et l’Europe entrainant de nombreuses rivalités territoriales. La Corse est entre les mains de la République de Gène, quand en 1420, Alphonse V d'Aragon (le royaume d'Aragon (1035-1707) se trouvait en Ibérie du nord) revendique l'île à la suite de la concession de la Corse du pape Boniface VIII à son ancêtre Jacques II. Alphonse V le Magnanime assiège alors Bonifacio pendant près de cinq mois avec 50 navires. Mais les 250 Génois retranchés dans la citadelle repoussent le roi et son armée navale. L’histoire raconte que sa Majesté d’Aragon demanda à ses hommes de construire un escalier dans la falaise en l’espace d’une nuit. Mais selon la petite histoire cet escalier, taillé à main d’homme selon une inclinaison d'environ 45° à partir d'une faille naturelle de la falaise dans la roche calcaire bonifacienne (calcarénite), est l’œuvre de moines franciscains afin d’accéder à une source d’eau potable située dans une grotte naturelle au pied de la falaise.
Sur une hauteur de 65 mètres, les 189 marches toutes aussi irrégulières les unes que les autres rejoignent un sentier horizontal d’environ 400m. Le chemin serpente à travers la roche calcaire de Bonifacio jusqu’au puits d’eau douce de Saint Barthélemy (aujourd’hui inaccessible au public). A seulement quelques mètres au‐dessus de la mer, le long de la falaise qui tombe dans une mer turquoise qui se mêle au bleu azur du ciel avec la Sardaigne en toile de fond.
The story of the royal staircase: it all started in the 15th century, the Mediterranean basin was a commercial and cultural crossroads between Asia, Africa and Europe, leading to numerous territorial rivalries. Corsica was in the hands of the Republic of Genoa, when in 1420 Alfonso V of Aragon (the Kingdom of Aragon (1035-1707) was in northern Iberia) claimed the island following the concession of Corsica from Pope Boniface VIII to his ancestor Jacques II. Alphonse V the Magnanimous then besieged Bonifacio for nearly five months with 50 ships. But the 250 Genoese entrenched in the citadel push back the king and his naval army. The story goes that his Majesty of Aragon asked his men to build a staircase in the cliff in the space of one night. But according to the story, this staircase, carved by hand at an inclination of about 45° from a natural fault in the cliff in the Bonifacian limestone rock (calcarenite), is the work of Franciscan monks in order to access a source of drinking water located in a natural cave at the foot of the cliff.
Over a height of 65 meters, the 189 steps, each as irregular as the other, join a horizontal path of about 400m. The path winds through the limestone rock of Bonifacio to the fresh water well of Saint Barthélemy (now inaccessible to the public). Only a few meters above the sea, along the cliff that falls into a turquoise sea that mingles with the azure blue of the sky with Sardinia in the background.
