Tompkins Street-Main Street Historic District, formerly known as Tompkins Street Historic District, is a historic district in Cortland, New York. It encompasses 109 contributing buildings and 1 contributing site in the central business district of Cortland and the surrounding residential areas. It includes about 60 commercial buildings built between 1860 and 1910, public buildings such as the separately listed U.S. Post Office, and the Cortland Rural Cemetery. Residences date as early as the 1830s and include mansions from the 1890-1916 period. Most residences are 2 1/2 stories and of frame construction.
Under the Tompkins Street name, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Its boundaries were increased to include Main Street from Tompkins to Clinton Streets in 1982
In January 2015, the City of Broken Hill was included on the National Heritage Register. This register lists 106 other iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Kakadu National Park, and the Australian Alps. Broken Hill is the first city to be listed. Extensive research and consultation with the Broken Hill community was a key part of the listing.
The National Heritage List is Australia’s pre-eminent heritage list recognising and protecting the nation’s most valued natural, indigenous, and historic heritage sites. Listing is the highest heritage honour in Australia and listed placed receive national attention and benefits from increased domestic and international tourism. Broken Hil has been assessed against the nine National Heritage Criteria, which include historic, aesthetic, and social values, creative and technical achievements, associations with significant peoples, and others.
The following is the Statement of Significance for the City of Broken Hill which was prepared as part of the listing process:
“The City of Broken Hill has outstanding significance to the nation for its role in creating enormous wealth, for its long, enduring and continuing mining operations, and the community’s deep and shared connection with Broken Hill as the isolated city in the desert, its outback landscape, the planned design and landscaping of the town, the regeneration areas and particularly the physical reminders of its mining origins such as the Line of Lode, the barren mullock heaps, tailings, skimps and slagheap escarpment and relict structures. It exhibits historic qualities in its ongoing mining operations since 1883, the current and relict mining infrastructure and its landscape setting. It is significant for its industrial past ….. together with its role as a pioneer in setting occupational health and safety standards.”
“It demonstrates the principal characteristics of a mining town in a remote location with extensive transport infrastructure and administrative connections to three state capitals and as a rare example of a place subject to Australia’s complex Federal system where differing administrative, social and economic influences are expressed in both tangible and intangible forms. It has social significance for its residents as a place of community pride, endurance, and as a remote mining community resilient to major social and economic change, Broken Hill has strong social significance for all Australians as a place where great wealth was created, as well as strong group associations with the Barrier Industrial Council. It exhibits outstanding aesthetic characteristics as a city in an arid desert setting, as the subject of interest for Australian artists, poets, film makers, TV producers and photographers.”
“It has significance as a place where outstanding technical achievement has occurred in refining ore for its minerals including the froth flotation process and the computer controlled on-stream analysis of slurries. Broken Hill is also important as a place of research potential to reveal further information on mineral deposits with its range of complex minerals. It is associated with person of great importance to Australia’s history, including Albert Morris (arid land regeneration), Charls Rasp (discoverer), Herbert Hoover (mining engineer), WL Baillieu, WA Robinson and MAE Mawby (industrialists), GD Delprat (metallurgist), Percy Brookfield and Eugene O’Neill (unionists). Broken Hill’s association with the Barrier Industrial Council as a group is also important.”
“The Broken Hill zinc-lead-silver ore deposit is one of the world’s largest ore bodies and contains an extraordinary array of minerals. It is geologically complex and has national scientific significance. The Broken Hill operation is significant for its immense size and unrecorded mineral species continue to be found. It contributes to an understanding of the formation of the Australian continent and more than 2, 300 million years of the earth’s history.”
The City of Broken Hill is delighted that the special heritage values of the city are recognised and celebrated nationally and internationally by this listing.
Wilyakali Country:
Wilyakali lies in the east of the state of South Australia, crossing into New South Wales, including the town of Broken Hill. The Wilyakali people traditionally visited the Paakantji people on the Menindee Lakes in the Darling Riverine Plains Bioregion each year.
The three Major language groups for the Broken Hill Region are the Paakantji, Mayyankapa, and Nyiimpaa.
Wilyakali and Danggali both lie east of the Ngadjuri language and north of the upper River Murray languages.
Wilyakali and Danggali are part of the Darling River Language Group or Paakantyi / Paakantji language group. This is a group of closely related languages in South Australia and New South Wales, which can be subdivided into two groups: the “Northern Dialects” and the “Southern Dialects.” Wilyakali and Danggali are both part of the “Southern Dialects.”
Other “Southern Dialects” include Pulaali, Southern Pankantyi, Pantyikali, Wanyuparlku and Marrawarra. Some of these languages have been recorded more than others. Although each language has its own distinguishing features, they are so similar they can be understood by speakers of other languages in this group. Therefore, the following reference list will include Southern Paakantyi references that may be helpful. The language name is noted in square brackets after each reference, when known.
Today the Wilyakali people are still the main Aboriginal group in Broken Hill, though there are a number of Aboriginal people that come from other language groups.
The Aboriginal people of Broken Hill have established working parties to pursue their vision of a better future. They continue to look after their traditional lands and are joint managers of the Mutawintji National Park which is the first national park handed back to the traditional owners in New South Wales. There are many strong elders who continue to maintain and pass on their traditional knowledge to their young people and, today, share their stories with the wider community.

Άγιος Μηνάς «ὁ ἐν τῷ Κοτυαείῳ» ο Μεγαλομάρτυρας τιμάται στις 11 Νοεμβρίου
Ο ναός είναι τρίκλιτη βασιλική με ημικυκλική αψίδα που κοσμείται με τυφλές κόγχες. Χαγιάτι διατηρείται στη νότια πλευρά που στηρίζεται εναλλάξ σε πεσσούς και κιονίσκους. Ο ναός χτίστηκε στα 1778 σύμφωνα με την κτητορική επιγραφή, επάνω από την κεντρική είσοδο. Οι τοιχογραφίες είναι έργο του Καπεσοβίτη ζωγράφου Αναστάσιου Αναγνώστη του Οικονόμου και χρονολογούνται στα 1812. Το ξυλόγλυπτο τέμπλο, ο άμβωνας και ο δεσποτικός θρόνος είναι σύγχρονα με τον τοιχογραφικό διάκοσμο. Οι δεσποτικές εικόνες είναι έργο του Ιωάννη του Αθανασίου και χρονολογούνται στα 1780. Το μοναδκό εξαγωνικό καμπαναριό του ανακατασκευάστηκε το 1896 από κάτοικο του χωριού, έμπορο στη Ρουμανία.
The temple is a three-aisled basilica with a semi-circular apse adorned with blind niches. Hagiati is maintained on the southern side, resting alternately on pillars and pillars. The temple was built in 1778 according to the landmark, above the main entrance. The frescoes are the work of Kapesovite painter Anastasios Reader of Economou and date back to 1812. The wood-carved iconostasis, the pulpit and the despotic throne are contemporary with the mural decoration. The despotic icons are the work of John of Athanasius and date back to 1780. Its unique hexagonal bell tower was rebuilt in 1896 by a resident of the village, a merchant in Romania.
Το Δίκορφο ονομαζόταν μέχρι το 1927 Τζοντίλα ή Ζωνδήλα.
Το κτίριο όπου στεγάζονταν το Αρρεναγωγείο και το Παρθεναγωγείο, διατηρείται μέχρι σήμερα και βρίσκεται στη βόρεια πλευρά της πλατείας.
Πρόκειται για ένα επιβλητικό κτίριο, το οποίο οικοδομήθηκε το 1912 από το ζεύγος Τ. και Ε. Στάθη. Ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά της αρχιτεκτονικής του είναι οι πέτρινες κολώνες, οι οποίες στηρίζουν την πρόσοψη και η εξάγωνη πελεκητή πέτρα. Στη συνέχεια λειτούργησε ως Δημοτικό σχολείο, σταθμός Χωροφυλακής και κοινοτικό γραφείο.
Dikorfo was named until 1927, Johnny or Zondila.
The building that housed the Fire Brigade and the Girls' School was maintained until today and is located on the north side of the square.
It is an imposing building, built in 1912 by T. and E. Stathis. Particular features of its architecture are the stone columns, which support the facade and the hexagonal chiseled stone. It then functioned as Primary School, Gendarmerie Station and Community Office.
Excerpt from heritageburlington.ca:
This is a 2-storey building of Georgian proportions, with a shallow hipped roof and balancing slight projections on each side of the front entrance. A central portico is supported by two sets of double pillars. There is a small arched window above the portico and symmetrically placed tall narrow side windows.
Handsome massive pierced cornice brackets support the eaves of the main roof and the eaves of the side bay. This home has the original double leaf front door with a leaded glass transom panel.
Located at 211 Depot Street, thus Romanesque Revival depot was erected in 1905. It served the Nashville, Chattanooga & Saint Louis Railway (NC&StL) and the Louisville & Nashville Railroad (LN) as a union station. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Nature's Erotic Nature Unfolds In Soft Pink Folds & Deep Dark Openings Of Lust, Hiding Stories Of Precious Gifts From My Beloveds —IMRAN®
The life God blessed me to live is a story too vast for a 10,000-page book. Every moment, every vision, every sound is its own chapter. Even a photograph of "just a flower" holds a universe of associated memories.
I feel compelled to write these stories down—for myself, for the day my own memory may fail me. For my loved ones and friends, so you may know me now and remember me later.
And for two incredible people—Z in Canada and A in DC—whom I hope will get to know me better through these and other words I've written over the last half century. Whispers meant for now, and echoes meant for later. Their own stories would be separate, incredible books in themselves.
I captured this magically evocative image of a lily indoors at my blessed Long Island "dream home" at the end of April in 2012. It was a pivotal time—exactly one month after a parallel search had led me to what would become my "fantasy home" in Florida. A moment captured between two dreams.

The Curtis–Champa Streets Historic District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.and is noted for the diversity and sophistication of architeture in the residences. Homes of the Second Empire, Italianate, Gothic, Romanesque . Queen Anne, and Eastlake Victorian styles are represented. This Queen Anne home is estimated on one Real Estate site to be worth around $850,000 and appears to be a candidate for renovation.
The Croton Dam is one of the three dams on the Muskegon River. It was built in 1907 by the Grand Rapids - Muskegon Power Company (today Consumers Energy). It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
All four of the GAL-registered Enviro 200 MMCs at Central Connect were repainted into the company’s pleasing, diagonally striped blue livery. Until then they’d been in the red and blue of Central Connect’s previous incarnation down south, before the name was adopted by the wider Vectare/TMS group.
Luckily I spotted all four before they withdrew from operating their East Midlands routes – although if you know where to look it’s still possible to find a Central Connect E200 MMC locally, as they currently still operate one on the 517. I’m not sure if they’re going to rebid for the school routes come next academic year.
Not long ago I did wonder if Central Connect would end up growing to rival the likes of Go Ahead or Arriva in size and national coverage. One day they still might, but so far 2026 has seen them almost disappear from the East Midlands and get into a rather sticky situation in Chelmsford. Plus people don’t seem to rate their operation in East Anglia very highly.
From a personal standpoint, I used the 90 and 93 on several occasions and they were perfectly fine, running reliably and mostly operating to time (the main delays being the incessant A52 road works in Radcliffe, which still go on to this day). However they didn’t seem like routes that could support an operator making payments to buy/lease sub-5 year old Sprinters and E200s.

While scanning the sky to chart a billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, ESA’s Gaia satellite is also sensitive to celestial bodies closer to home, and regularly observes asteroids in our Solar System.
This view shows the orbits of more than 14 000 known asteroids (with the Sun at the centre of the image) based on information from Gaia’s second data release, which was made public in 2018.
The majority of asteroids depicted in this image, shown in bright red and orange hues, are main-belt asteroids, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; Trojan asteroids, found around the orbit of Jupiter, are shown in dark red.
In yellow, towards the image centre, are the orbits of several tens of near-Earth asteroids observed by Gaia: these are asteroids that come to within 1.3 astronomical units (AU) to the Sun at the closest approach along their orbit. The Earth circles the Sun at a distance of 1 AU (around 150 million km) so near-Earth asteroids have the potential to come into proximity with our planet.
Most asteroids that Gaia detects are already known, but every now and then, the asteroids seen by ESA's Milky Way surveyor do not match any existing observations. This is the case for the three orbits shown in grey in this view: these are Gaia’s first asteroid discoveries.
The three new asteroids were first spotted by Gaia in December 2018, and later confirmed by follow-up observations performed with the Haute-Provence Observatory in France, which enabled scientists to determine their orbits. Comparing these informations with existing observations indicated the objects had not been detected earlier.
While they are part of the main belt of asteroids, all three move around the Sun on orbits that have a greater tilt (15 degrees or more) with respect to the orbital plane of planets than most main-belt asteroids.
The population of such high-inclination asteroids is not as well studied as those with less tilted orbits, since most surveys tend to focus on the plane where the majority of asteroids reside. But Gaia can readily observe them as it scans the entire sky from its vantage point in space, so it is possible that the satellite will find more such objects in the future and contribute new information to study their properties.
Alongside the extensive processing and analysis of Gaia’s data in preparation for subsequent data releases, preliminary information about Gaia’s asteroid detections are regularly shared via an online alert system so that astronomers across the world can perform follow-up observations. To observe these asteroids, a 1-m or larger telescope is needed.
Once an asteroid detected by Gaia has been identified also in ground-based observations, the scientists in charge of the alert system analyse the data to determine the object’s orbit. In case the ground observations match the orbit based on Gaia’s data, they provide the information to the Minor Planet Center, which is the official worldwide organization collecting observational data for small Solar System bodies like asteroids and comets.
This process may lead to new discoveries, like the three asteroids with orbits depicted in this image, or to improvements in the determination of the orbits of known asteroids, which are sometimes very poorly known. So far, several tens of asteroids detected by Gaia have been observed from the ground in response to the alert system, all of them belonging to the main belt, but it is possible that also near-Earth asteroids will be spotted in the future.
A number of observatories across the world are already involved in these activities, including the Haute-Provence Observatory, Kyiv Comet station, Odessa-Mayaki, Terskol, C2PU at Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur and Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. The more that join, the more we will learn about asteroids – known and new ones alike.

The Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee, Florida, is an architecturally and historically significant building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Capitol is at the intersection of Apalachee Parkway and South Monroe Street in downtown Tallahassee, Florida.
The Historic Capitol, sometimes called "The Old Capitol," built in 1845, was threatened with demolition in the late 1970s when the new capitol building was built. Having been restored to its 1902-version in 1982, the Historic Capitol is directly behind the new Capitol building. Its restored space includes the Governor's Suite, Supreme Court, House of Representatives and Senate chambers, rotunda, and halls. Its adapted space contains a museum exhibiting the state's political history, the Florida Historic Capitol Museum, which is managed by the Florida Legislature. On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed the Historic Capitol Building (Restoration) on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.
The New Tower houses executive and legislative offices and the chambers of the Florida Legislature (consisting of the Florida Senate and Florida House of Representatives).
The buildings are universally, though informally, known as the Old Capitol and the New Capitol; the former is sometimes called the Historic Capitol, or also, confusingly, the Florida State Capitol. The latter was its official name prior to the construction of the New Capitol in 1977, and was so called by the National Park Service even after the New Capitol was operating. Its legal name today, however, is the Florida Historic Capitol Museum. The New Capitol, as a whole, does not have a legal name. When it was planned, the Capitol Complex (which is a legal name) was going to consist of the House and Senate chambers, and the twenty-two-story office building.

Ithamar Whipple House, 300 East 17th Street, Cheyenne, Wyoming. Ithamar Whipple built this house in 1883, 7 years before Wyoming Statehood. Radiant with beveled and stained glass windows, it was the Victorian-style showpiece of Cheyenne's famous Cattle Barons Row. Mr.Whipple was a wealthy merchant and cattle baron, who founded the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association. He supervised the construction of his home that would soon become known simply as Whipple House. Ithamar Whipple eventually sold this local Cheyenne landmark to Territorial Supreme Court Justice John Lacey. In 1986, Whipple House was completely restored to its original state, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
