The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometres over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981. The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is an important part of local groups' cultures and spirituality. The reef is a very popular destination for tourists, especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns regions. Tourism is an important economic activity for the region, generating over A$3 billion per year. 22837

Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

A fortress at the site possibly already existed during the time of the Great Moravian Empire in the 9th century. From about 1055, Znojmo Castle served as the residence of a Přemyslid principality within the Bohemian March of Moravia and a strategic important outpost near the border with the Bavarian March of Austria in the south. Few years later (1101), Luitpold of Znojmo, Duke of Moravia, established the Ducal Rotunda of the Virgin Mary and St Catherine in this castle, later depicted by unique scene of genealogy Bohemian and Moravian Dukes of the Přemyslid dynasty and the castle was conquered and devastated by Duke Vladislaus II of Bohemia in 1145.
In 1190, Duke Conrad II of Bohemia founded the Premonstratensian Louka Abbey at Znojmo, which became the settlement area of German-speaking immigrants in the course of the medieval Ostsiedlung movement. The royal city of Znojmo was founded shortly before 1226 by King Ottokar I of Bohemia on the plains in front of the reconstructed castle. The town privileges were confirmed by King Rudolf I of Germany in 1278. On 9 December 1437 the Luxembourg emperor Sigismund died at Znojmo and lay in state for three days at the St. Nicholas Church, before his mortal remains were transferred to Nagyvárad (Oradea) in Hungary.
From the 19th Century, Znojmo is best known as the site for the Armistice of Znaim concluded there on 12 July 1809 during the Battle of Znaim, after the decisive 7 days earlier Battle of Wagram, between Emperor Napoleon and the archduke Charles.
From the 20th Century, it is also the (alleged) birthplace of Leopold Loyka, the driver of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand's car when Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo during 1914, an event which triggered the First World War. After the war, it was part of Czechoslovakia, except during the Nazi German occupation between 1938 and 1945 when it was part of Reichsgau Niederdonau. The German Citizens were expelled in 1945 according to the Beneš decrees.
The birthplace of the sculptor Hugo Lederer and writer Charles Sealsfield, it also has a special co-operation relation with Harderwijk, Netherlands.

The Place de Clichy is one of the few places in Paris where four arrondissements (the 8th, 9th, 17th, and 18th) meet at a single point.
It lies at the former site of the barrière de Clichy, an ancient portal in the Wall of the Farmers-General, leading to the village of Clichy, outside the wall.
In March 1814, at the close of the First French Empire, 800,000 soldiers of various foreign armies marched on Paris. After breaking through the barriers at Belleville and Pantin, they took the hill of Montmartre. Paris was protected in the north from Clichy to Neuilly, by 70,000 men of the garde nationale. In the face of the advancing enemy, the Maréchal de Moncey defended the barrière de Clichy. Moncey amassed 15,000 volunteers, tirailleurs – students from the École polytechnique and the École vétérinaire – and, despite their inexperience, valiantly resisted the Russian contingent until an armistice was declared on 30 March 1814.
A six-metre-tall bronze statue, executed by Amédée Donatien Doublemard and dedicated to de Moncey, stands on an ornate pedestal eight metres tall.

De style dorique archaïque, le temple d’Hercule est le plus ancien du site, il remonterait de la fin du VIe siècle avant notre ère.
8 de ses 38 colonnes furent relevées pendant la première moitié du XXe siècle.
Le temple d'Héraclès est situé près de la route, à l'est du parc, près de l'entrée, tout à côté de la porte IV (porta Aurea). L'identification de ce temple dédié à Héraclès est donnée par Cicéron lui-même, questeur en Sicile en l'année -75. Dans ses célèbres accusations contre Verrès, il évoque une grande statue de bronze d'Héraclès, dans un temple situé près de l'agora (basse agora, près de la porte IV) : ses lèvres et son menton étaient usés, dit-il, à force d'être touchés par les pèlerins, et Verrès projetait de s'en emparer. Selon Biagio Pace, il a pu être dédié aux Létoïdes.
Le temple d'Héraclès est le plus ancien de tous ceux situés près de la muraille sud, remontant au début du Ve siècle av. J.-C.. Il repose sur un soubassement à trois degrés. Son plan est conforme à celui de la plupart des temples de Sicile. Son péristyle de 6 × 15 colonnes est toutefois plus allongé que d'habitude, ce qui a permis de ménager aux extrémités un espace égal à la largeur de deux colonnes, aussi bien devant le pronaos qu'en arrière de l'opisthodome. Manque aussi l'adyton, habituel dans les temples de Sicile. Les éléments d'architrave montrent des saignées de bardage en forme de U, destinées à passer des boucles de débardage symétriques.
Des débris du temple d'Héraclès ont été trouvés disséminés sur toute la zone, par exemple des chapiteaux recouverts de stuc, comme devaient l'être beaucoup d'autres éléments du temple. Les huit colonnes visibles du côté sud ont été remontées en 1924 sous l'impulsion d'Alexander Hardcastle, tandis que l'ensemble du côté nord l'a été dès le XIXe siècle. Une transformation à l'époque romaine et la découverte d'une statue d'Asclépios en 1835 laisse supposer une nouvelle attribution.
Archaic Doric style, the temple of Hercules is the oldest on the site, it dates back to the end of the sixth century BC.
8 of its 38 columns were raised during the first half of the 20th century.
The temple of Heracles is located near the road, east of the park, near the entrance, right next to gate IV (porta Aurea). The identification of this temple dedicated to Heracles is given by Cicero himself, quaestor in Sicily in the year -75. In his famous accusations against Verrès, he evokes a large bronze statue of Heracles, in a temple located near the agora (lower agora, near door IV): his lips and chin were worn, he says, by dint of being touched by the pilgrims, and Verrès planned to seize it. According to Biagio Pace, it may have been dedicated to the Letoids.
The temple of Heracles is the oldest of all those near the southern wall, dating back to the early 5th century BC. It rests on a three-degree base. Its plan conforms to that of most of the temples in Sicily. Its peristyle of 6 × 15 columns is however more elongated than usual, which made it possible to spare at the ends a space equal to the width of two columns, as well in front of the pronaos as behind the opisthodome. Also missing the adyton, usual in the temples of Sicily. The architrave elements show U-shaped siding grooves, intended to pass symmetrical skidding loops.
Debris from the temple of Heracles was found scattered throughout the area, for example capitals covered with stucco, as many other elements of the temple must have been. The eight columns visible on the south side were reassembled in 1924 at the instigation of Alexander Hardcastle, while the whole of the north side was reassembled in the 19th century. A transformation in Roman times and the discovery of a statue of Asclepius in 1835 suggests a new attribution.
