On the very last night the ladies presented their news article, that describes from the perspective of the future what they will accomplish upon leaving from this program. Many emotions were felt. Then the girls, having officially completed the program were presented with certificates from the US State Dept.

The information below was excerpted from the Ajuntament de Barcelona website:

It is available in English, Castellano, and Català
The first fortification on Montjuïc Mountain was built in 1640, during the revolt against Felipe IV. It consisted of a quadrilateral structure covered in stone and mud. It first saw action on 26 January 1641, when an attack by the Castilian troops of Pedro Fajardo de Requesens-Zúñiga y Pimentel, the Marquess of Vélez, was repelled in the Battle of Montjuïc.
In 1694 the fort became a castle and the grounds took up most of the summit, with three bastions looking inland and a line of saw-tooth ramparts looking over the sea.
During the War of the Spanish Succession, the fall of the castle to the hands of Charles Mordaunt, Lord Peterborough, on 17 September 1705, was one of the factors that tipped the Catalans to the cause of Archduke Charles of Austria. Felipe V took it back on 25 April 1706, but lost it again on 12 May of the same year, and it was not again his till 12 September 1714, when, according to the fifth article of the capitulations —which the Duke of Berwick offered the city on the same day—, it surrendered to Bourbon troops.
In 1751, the military engineer Juan Martín Cermeño demolished the old fort of 1640, which still stood inside the new walls, and gave the complex of fortifications their present shape, providing them with services and cisterns (one of which being potable water), and also excavated a moat. Further construction work was done between 1779 and 1799, to accommodate the doubling of the castle’s population, including kitchens and ovens to feed 3,000, by which time the castle had taken on its final appearance. It was also when it was equipped with artillery, with 120 cannons.
On 13 February 1808, French troops entered Barcelona with 5,427 men and 1,830 horses. At first they were only supposed to remain in the city a few days but, on 29 February, a corps of Napoleon’s imperial troops, commanded by Colonel Floresti, climbed Montjuïc Mountain to capture the castle. This they achieved, but only by annoying the soldiers there because the Captain General of the Principality had received the direct orders of the Court itself to receive Napoleon’s troops with benevolence.
In 1842, during the regency of General Espartero, the city was bombed from the castle to quell a revolutionary uprising. The next year, General ordered a further bombing of Barcelona, with the firing of more than 2,500 projectiles during the 81 days that the siege by government troops lasted.
In the 1890s, the workers involved in the wave of anarchist violence were locked up here. As were the detainees of the Tragic Week of 1909, at the time the Catalan educator and creator of l’Escola Moderna, Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia was executed by firing squad also in Montjuïc. In 1919, more than 3,000 workers were jailed because of the Canadenca conflict. It was filled with right-wing prisoners in 1936, and between 1936 and 1938, in addition to continuing as a prison, 173 people were executed by firing squad. Also executed was the President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Lluís Companys, on 15 October 1940.
The castle remained a military prison till 1960, when it was ceded to the city under the direction and administration of the army. After three year’s work to refurbish the complex as a military museum, on 24 June 1963, Francisco Franco presided the inauguration.
I think it says something about bringing new technology to the classroom, based on my talks at Congres Frans this year:

From an article in the 1892-02-17 edition of The Atlanta Journal, front page:
Athens and Auburn
Will Meet at Football in Atlanta Saturday.
A Very Exciting Contest Promised
It Will Be the First Interstate Collegiate Game in the South
And Thousands of People Will Go Out to Piedmont Park to See the Boys Kick the Ball.
"Atlanta will be the scene Saturday afternoon of the first southern inter-state intercollegiate football game.
The game will occur at Piedmont park, and the contesting teams will be from the Georgia State university at Athens and the Alabama Polyclinic [sic] institute at Auburn.
A forecast of the interest which is being taken in this game was evidenced when the teams from Athens and Mercer met on the campus of the Classic city two weeks ago. In that game Athens plainly showed her superiority over the Macon college boys in foot-ball. With the result of that game in view the State university team looks forward with great confidence of victory in the inter-state game with the team from Auburn.
The game promises to be equally as interesting as the great foot-ball contests in the north have proved. Both teams have been in training for several weeks. Both are uniformed and well equipped. Both have been studying the game from a scientific as well as a physical standpoint, and the contest promises to be a very close and interesting one.
The teams will arrive Saturday morning and the game will begin at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. It will occur directly in front of the grand stand at Piedmont park. The grounds will be laid off in the race track and in so much of the space beyond the track as may be required. This will afford an excellent place for the contest and permit it to be a very fine one.
With each of the teams a delegation of college boys and town folks from Athens and Auburn will come to Atlanta. These will be augmented by delegations from Oxford, Mercer, and from the surrounding towns and villages. Atlanta will, of course, furnish the bulk of the spectators, and when the game is called to order there will very probably be a crowd of ten thousand in the grand stand.
The contest will be for the college championship as between Georgia and Alabama, As an additional incentive to state pride. Messrs. J. P. Stevens & Co. have offered a handsome championship sliver [sic] cup. Of course both teams will make a desperate effort to capture this trophy.
Another thing which will add to the interest of the game is that in both teams Atlanta is well represented.
In the Auburn team the fight [sic] half back is R. T. Dorsey, jr., better known among the boys as "Dutch" Dorsey, a son of Judge Rufus T. Dorsey, of this city. He has the best running record in college, is uneqalled [sic] in dodging, and is in every way fitted for the place.
In the Athens team Atlanta is represented by Park Howell of the rush line and by John Kimball as half-back. They are both amply able to hold up their end of the line and are among the strongest men on the Athens eleven.
The grounds will be laid off either today or tomorrow and by Saturday everything will be in fine trim."

CAR IN RIVER. "Missed the Ferry."
A seven-seater motor car skidded into the river at the Bulimba vehicular ferry entrance last night.
The incident occurred about 6 o'clock, a few seconds after the vehicular ferry had left the bank on the Bulimba side. The car had been driven into the street leading to the ferry, when the driver, Mr. Daniells, of Cannon Hill, perceived that he had arrived a few seconds too late to catch the ferry. He put on the brakes about 50 yards from the bank, but the car skidded on the gravel and made straight for the water. When it reached the sloping boards on the river bank, he tried to turn it towards the ferry house. The machine however, ran down the hoards. The speed had lessened considerably by this time, and only the front wheels passed over the ledge. They became embedded in the mud, and the water, which was on the ebb, completely covered the radiator and front seat.
Tile two headlights remained glowing, and continued to do so beneath the water until some one switched them off half an hour afterwards.
The vehicular ferry had returned with a load of cars from the New Farm side of the river, but was manoeuvred to the bank without touching the partly-immersed car. On the arrival of a break-down car a stout rope was affixed to the rear axle of the cripple. Mr. Daniells, who had changed into shorts, waded into the water, and went under several times to see what could be done to shift his machine. Finally, shortly before 8 o'clock, he succeeded in levering up the front of the car, and with the aid of the towing truck the machine was drawn up "the slope, apparently little the worse for its immersion.
...I wrote an article on bento for The Walla Walla Union-Bulletin. It ran in the paper yesterday.
I got nearly the whole front page of the Food & Family section! And some space on the next page too (three recipes and a quick 'how to pack a bento' blurb).
The article didn't make it to the paper's online edition so I can't link the text.
Update: In response to popular demand, now you can read the article online! (Sorry about the lame formatting; I'm at work and had to hand-code the HTML in Wordpad.)
