title: Haldon House

text:
Haldon House (pronounced: "Hol-don") on the eastern side of the Haldon Hills in the parishes of Dunchideock and Kenn, near Exeter in Devon, England, was a large Georgian country house largely demolished in the 1920s. The surviving north wing of the house, comprising the entrance front of the stable block, consists of two cuboid lodges linked by a screen pierced by a Triumphal Arch, with later additions, and serves today as the "Lord Haldon Hotel". The house was originally flanked by two such paired pavilions, as is evident from 19th century engravings.

History
According to Nikolaus Pevsner, the house was built in about 1735 by Sir George Chudleigh, 4th Baronet (died 1738), and was supposedly influenced by Buckingham House in London, built in about 1715. Chudleigh's ancestral seat was at nearby Ashton House, on the west side of Haldon Hill, the residence of his family since about 1320, and which he abandoned to build Haldon House on the east side of the hill. In 1798 Ashton House was in ruins. Sir George married Frances Davie (1697-1748), one of the four daughters and co-heiresses of Sir William Davie, 4th Baronet (1662-1706/7) of Creedy, Sandford, Devon. Chudleigh died leaving four daughters who were co-heiresses.

The second of George Chudleigh's daughters was Frances, whose share of her paternal inheritance was Haldon and Ashton. She married Sir John Chichester, 5th Baronet (1721-1784), who already had a grand seat at Youlston Park in North Devon, and sold Haldon to Mrs Anne Basset.

"Mrs Anne Basset" (1718-1760), née Prideaux was a daughter and co-heir of Sir Edmund Prideaux, 5th Baronet of Netherton, and was the widow of John Pendarvis Basset (1713–1739) of Tehidy in Cornwall. He was a member of the junior branch of the prominent Basset family of Umberleigh and Heanton Punchardon in North Devon. Her only son, John Prideaux Basset, pre-deceased her in 1756, aged 16. She sold Haldon to John Jones, Esq. who sold it to William Webber who, in turn, sold it to Sir Robert Palk in about 1770.

Palk

Sir Robert Palk, 1st Baronet (1717–1798) was a former officer of the East India Company and Governor of Madras Province. He purchased the house for £10,000 and started to re-model and enlarge it, as well as improving its grounds. He added the two protruding wings to the eastward-facing front of the house, and according to Richard Polwhele, writing in 1793, he lowered the ground in front so that the rooms formerly in the basement became visible, thereby heightening the main block to four floors instead of three. Polwhele also reported that Palk had covered the brick-built house with stucco to give the effect that it was built of stone. He had also added two "geometrical staircases" and laid a new floor in the hall made from red and yellow wood which he had "taken from the French at one of the sieges" in the East Indies. John Swete (1752–1821), who lived at Oxton House nearby and who wrote extensively in his journals about the houses and gardens of Devon's gentry, did not approve of Palk's addition of the wings to the house.

Richard Polwhele further stated that thousands of trees had recently been planted in the grounds, and a decorative garden that had previously been adjacent to the south of the house had been moved further away allowing the house to be surrounded on all sides by lawn "with suitable plantations", amounting to fifty acres in all.

Major-General Stringer Lawrence (1697–1775) spent his retirement at Haldon House as a guest of Palk, his friend from Indian days. Stringer Lawrence bequeathed the huge sum of £50,000 to Palk and in 1788 Palk erected the triangular 26-metre-high "Lawrence Tower" (alias "Haldon Belvedere") on his estate to his memory. Located on the ridge of the hills, about a mile south-west of the house, the tower was and still is visible from afar. The house was visited by several notable people, including King George III (1760–1820), whom Sir Robert Palk escorted to view the Lawrence Tower along a specially made carriage drive.

Sir Robert was succeeded by Sir Lawrence Palk, 2nd Baronet (–1813), Sir Lawrence Vaughan Palk, 3rd Baronet (1793–1860), Sir Lawrence Palk, 4th Baronet (1818–1883) (created Baron Haldon in 1880) and Lawrence Hesketh Palk, 2nd Baron Haldon (1846–1903). The later Palks did not spend much time at Haldon, preferring their properties in Torquay, the development of which town the family was deeply involved, or elsewhere.

Lawrence Hesketh Palk was a keen gambler and had inherited the estate from his father with mortgage debts estimated at one stage to be £400,000. He was declared bankrupt in January 1891, and sales of the art and valuables from Haldon commenced the following month. Haldon House itself was sold in 1892 to Thomas Bedford Bolitho, a Cornish banker and MP.

Later history

In 1897 James FitzGerald Bannatyne of Summerville and Fanningstown Castle, Co. Limerick, Ireland, purchased Haldon House from Bolitho. Bannatyne was a Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the Peace for Devon. He was one of the nine original subscribers at the foundation in 1897 of the "Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company Ltd.", later "Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co. Ltd.". Marconi performed some of his early experiments in radio transmission from the top of the Haldon Hills.

Bannatyne married Emily Gertrude Wilson, of Collipriest Cottage, Tiverton. His daughter Mary Stuart Bannatyne married Major Ludovic Heathcoat-Amory, son of Sir John Heathcoat-Amory, 1st Baronet of Knightshayes Court, near Tiverton. Bannatyne died on October 18, 1915, and on 14 May 1916 his only son Major James Fitzgerald Bannatyne was killed in action during World War I.

Mrs Bannatyne moved away in 1919 and put the estate up for sale. A single buyer for the estate was not forthcoming and it was split up and sold piecemeal. At the time of its demolition in 1925 the house had six reception rooms (sizes 30 by 20 feet, 22 by 30, 50 by ,  by , 22 by  and one other), 38 bedrooms, a ballroom, theatre and chapel to seat 100. No buyer could be found and with the gardens and a 5-acre field it was withdrawn at £1,350. The final sale of the last of the estate was in 1925. The furnishings of the chapel were purchased by Clifton College for its own chapel.

title: Albarrana tower

text:
An albarrana tower () is a defensive tower detached from the curtain wall and connected to it by a bridge or an arcade. They were built by Muslims when they occupied the Iberian Peninsula between the 8th and the 15th centuries, especially from the 12th century during the Almohad dynasty and mainly in the south of Spain and Portugal where the Islamic influence was the longest. In Spanish, they are called torre albarrana.

Background
The earliest albarrana towers were often pentagonal or octagonal in plan (e.g. Badajoz, Tarifa, Seville) but later a rectangular plan became the norm.  Having been built several meters in front of the curtain wall, they were only accessible from there by a (bridged or arched) walkway containing a removable wooden section allowing the tower to be isolated from the wall if the tower were to be occupied by attacking forces. North of the Iberian peninsula, flanking towers usually remained a structural part of the (stone) curtain wall.

Albarrana towers are almost uniquely confined to the Iberian Peninsula. Even in other Muslim-controlled territories of the medieval world this defensive feature was not used,  except for a notable example in the Citadel of Aleppo in Syria. The only known albarrana tower in England can be found at Pontefract Castle. The castle now lies in ruins, but the remains of an albarrana tower called Swillington Tower are still visible just to the north of the castle's slighted curtain wall.

Some known albarrana towers are:
 Torre de Espantaperros in Badajoz, Spain. Probably the first albarrana tower, built by Abu Yaqub Yusuf in 1170. Its plan is octagonal.
 Torre del Oro, Torre de la Plata in Sevilla
 Torre de la Malmuerta in Cordoba
 Town of Talavera de la Reina near Toledo with several albarrana towers
 Òdena castle near Barcelona
 Castle of Paderne in Portugal
 2 albarrana towers in the Santa Catalina castle in Jaén
 Castle of Loulé in Portugal

title: London: The Biography

text:
London: The Biography is a 2000 non-fiction book by Peter Ackroyd published by Chatto & Windus.

Content
Ackroyd's work, following his previous work on London in one form or another, is a history of the city. It is chronologically wide in scope, proceeding from the period of the Upper Jurassic through to the period of the Druids and on to the 21st century.

Although it does have a broadly chronological aspect to its structuring, the work is organised in a thematic fashion, particularly from the late medieval period to the end of the 19th century where the approach taken is one that eschews a linear time-based narrative and instead focuses upon the organisation of the material on the basis of themes. There are sections and digressions on everything from the history of silence in relation to the city, the history of light, childhood, ghosts, prostitution, Cockney speech, graffiti, the weather, murder, suicide, theatres and drink.

The work is constructed from data and stories accumulated from a large assemblage of both primary and secondary sources which incorporates literary sources such as diaries or newspaper articles as well as maps, pictures and public street signs. There are small elements of the personal or the autobiographical, such as a discussion of Ackroyd's discovery of Fountain Court in the Temple as a child, but the tone is overwhelmingly public rather than personal.

An important aspect of the tone and methodology of the book is its tendency towards antiquarianism, a fact that is heightened by Ackroyd's lionisation of the work of John Stow, with a tendency towards a focus upon details and the microcosmic rather than grand or broad sweeps of history.

Two particular elements underlying the work are Ackroyd's belief that London is a unique metropolis on the one hand, and that on the other it has long been resistant to 'planning'. He cites the example of Paris's development under Baron Haussmann as a counterpoint and contrast.

Critical reception
Some commentators have focused on Ackroyd's political perspective and how this affects his analysis. In one example, Iain Sinclair argued that his message is fundamentally conservative: "poll-tax riots and uprisings at Broadwater Farm Estate are coeval with the burning of Newgate Prison: they are virtual-reality panoramas from the Museum of London...Subversion may excite for a moment, but it will be crushed."

title: Special routes of U.S. Route 460

text:
A total of at least sixteen special routes of U.S. Route 460 exist and at least six have been deleted.

Existing

Georgetown bypass route

U.S. Route 460 Bypass (US 460 Byp.) is a bypass route in Georgetown, Kentucky. It serves as the main part of the Georgetown Bypass. The majority of its route is shared with US 62; the other part of the bypass is KY 1143. It begins across from the Carewood Golf Course and runs southeasterly where it intersects and merges with US 62. Just after sharply curving slightly to the northeast US 62/US 460 Byp. has an intersection with US 25, then begins to curve more toward the north around the vicinity of a pair of bridges over a railroad line. US 460 Byp. ends at US 460 two blocks west of exit 125 on I-75, while US 62 continues northward toward Columbus, Ohio.

Paintsville business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) was a business route in Paintsville, Kentucky and Prestonburg, Kentucky. Much of the route ran in a concurrency with U.S. Route 23 Business, as well as Kentucky Route 40, Kentucky Route 321, and Kentucky Route 114.

Pikeville business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) was a business route of Pikeville, Kentucky. Like the business route between Paintsville and Prestonburg, it ran in concurrency with U.S. Route 23 Business. The route began at a diamond interchange shared by the eastern terminus of KY 1384 and ran east where it eventually curved south and west around into downtown Pikeville. US BUS 23/460 ended at a semi-directional T interchange with US 23/460.

Grundy business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a business route of US 460 through Grundy, Virginia.

Richlands–Cedar Bluff business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a business route of Richlands and Cedar Bluff, Virginia. The road begins as Front Street at an at-grade interchange with US 460 west of downtown Richlands, taking a concurrency with State Route 67 away from that route and immediately crosses a bridge over the Clinch River while running parallel to a Norfolk and Western Railroad line. The route splits into a one-way pair at Second Avenue, and the concurrency with SR 67 goes along with the split. Eastbound US BUS 460/SR 67 now runs along Front Street, while westbound US BUS 460/SR 67 runs along Second Street. The railroad tracks move away from Front Street west of the SR 609 (Veterans Drive) bridge. SR 609 only terminates at the westbound section of the route. The routes cross over the Clinch River a second time in both directions after this.

Across the street from a wye junction with the previously mentioned railroad line, SR 67 turns north onto Railroad Avenue. The one-way split of US BUS 460 ends east of Grayson Avenue, and the first intersection after this split is the shared intersection with Dickerson Place and Teah Park Street. The business route resumes running parallel to the N&W line, which itself now follows that Clinch River. Front Street rises above the tracks along a mountain, then curves towards the south. A local street branches off to the south as the railroad line and river follow that street instead, while US BUS 460 briefly curves back to the east. Near Richlands High School, the road turns southeast once again, descending gradually down a hill as it approaches its parent route. US BUS 460 ends at an unconventional quarter-cloverleaf interchange with US 460 at the Richland-Cedar Bluff border, which is also shared with the western terminus of SR 631 (Cedar Valley Drive).

Tazewell business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is an  business route of US 460 in Tazewell, Virginia. It is concurrent with US 19 Business for its entire length.

The route begins at an at-grade intersection near the Historic Crab Orchard Museum, running southeast. The road makes a sharp curve to the east at the wye intersection of the northern terminus of State Route 91, and then joins a concurrency with State Route 16. The road doesn't enter "downtown" Tazewell until another wye with State Route 16 Alternate (Fairground Road), where the name is changed to West Main Street. West Fincastle Turnpike, which ran parallel to the north side of the road since SR ALT 16 merges with US BUS 19/460/SR 16 at the beginning of an undetermined historic district. Only at Central Avenue does the name change from West Main Street to East Man Street, where it skirts the southern edge of the Tazewell Historic District. East Main Street ends at Church Avenue and US BUS 19/460 turns south onto Church Avenue, only to make a sharp curve back to the northeast onto a road named the Fincastle Turnpike. It curves more toward the east before the concurrency with SR 16 ends at a low-key signalized intersection.

Later the turnpike passes the Tazewell High School and some gas stations mixed in with primarily a residential area, which becomes more commercial east of Perry Street. The road curves northeast as it intersects Ben Bolt Road, and later crosses a bridge over the South Fork of the Clinch River thus entering an eastern sliver of North Tazewell where it encounters a diagonal intersection with State Route 61. Only after this intersection does the road run parallel to the North Fork of the Clinch River and a former Norfolk and Western Railroad line. Briefly curving to the right, it uses a low bridge over that river which now runs along the south and east side of the road (sometimes even at the shoulder of the road), while the railroad line remains along the north and west side of it. The road ends at an eastbound on-westbound off flyunder interchange with US 19/460.

Pearisburg business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of US 460 through Pearisburg. Much of the route is concurrent with SR 100.

Blacksburg–Christiansburg business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a business route of Blacksburg and Christiansburg, Virginia,  of which can be found in Blacksburg and  of which can be found in Christiansburg.

After US 460 curves to the south, US BUS 460 branches off to the southeast between Bishop Road (SR 648) and Farmingdale Lane, and is named North Main Street. Within downtown Blacksburg, it encounters a traffic circle at the end of SR 412. From there, the road encounters the Virginia Tech Alumni Mall (SR 314). At the four corners of Blacksburg, North Main Street becomes South Main Street at Roanoke Street which changes from West Main Street to East Main Street. Eventually it curves straight south as it passes by the runway of the Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport. US BUS 460 has an interchange with its parent route but does not terminate there. This interchange contains unbuilt ramps leading to and from Transportation Research Drive, the home of the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute. The former right-of-way of the parent route and business route can be found on the southwest corner of the interchange. After the intersection of SRs 808/643, the route passes by the Lewis-Gale Hospital-Montgomery, which is flanked to the south and west by SR 775.

Just north of SR 657 the route enters Christiansburg and becomes North Franklin Street. One noteworthy site along the way is the large Corning Glass Factory in the distance along the west side. Around the same area, the road is three blocks west of the parent route. The road runs southwest until it runs past the New River Valley Mall on the northwest corner of the intersection with State Route 114, and then curves back to the southeast, where it approaches a second interchange with US 460 only to be diverted to the south once again. Technically, this interchange is where the Blacksburg business route ends and the Christiansburg business route begins. It includes a trumpet interchange between the Blacksburg and Christiansburg business routes, and wye interchanges with the parent route for both. Additionally, the southbound ramp between the Blacksburg and Christiansburg Business Routes contains an off-ramp to Cambria Street (State Route 111), but all segments encounter railroad crossings before intersecting SR 111 itself.

From there the road climbs a hill, then descends as it passes a historical marker for the Christiansburg Industrial Institute next to an Appalachian Power substation before crossing the bridge over Crab Creek, which also runs over a two-tracked Norfolk and Western Railway line that pass by the nearby Cambria Freight Station. In the heart of Downtown Christiansburg, US BUS 460 makes a left turn onto a concurrency with US 11 at East Main Street, and both routes make a sharp turn to the right onto Roanoke Street, which becomes Lee Highway east of First Street Southeast Lee Highway crosses another railroad line, this time at an at-grade level crossing before encountering the southern terminus of SR 111 this time as Depot Street Northeast. Just after the Gateway Plaza North shopping center, US Bus 460 encounters a third interchange with US 460, but finally ends at an interchange with I-81 (Exit 118) where US 460 itself takes over the concurrency with US 11 along Lee Highway.

Salem alternate route

U.S. Route 460 Alternate (US 460 Alternate) is a  alternate route in Salem, Virginia. It is concurrent with US 11 Alternate for its entire length. Beyond the eastern terminus, the US 11 Alternate continues along main line US 460 into Roanoke, Virginia.

Bedford business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of Bedford, Virginia. The route runs in a  concurrency with US 221, as well as a brief one with State Route 43.

Timberlake–Lynchburg business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of Lynchburg, Virginia. The route begins in Timberlake at a trumpet interchange with US 460 east of the intersection with SR 681, and runs northeast as a four-lane divided highway known as Timberlake Road. It remains in Timberlake until the intersection with Crowell Lane where it enters the Lynchburg City Limits, maintaining the same characteristics as a commercial strip that it had in Timberlake. After the interchange with US 501, the road becomes Fort Avenue. East of John Lynch Place, Fort Avenue becomes a four-lane undivided highway until it passes Westview Avenue and divides again before seeming to terminate at State Route 163. US BUS 460/SR 163 runs in a northeast concurrency as a four-lane undivided highway until it reaches the Fort Early and Jubal Early Monument, where SR 163 diverges north as two-lane Memorial Avenue at an acute intersection, and US BUS 460 becomes a two-lane highway as well. Access from southbound SR 163 to eastbound US 460 Business and from westbound US 460 Business to northbound SR 163 is provided through Oakridge Boulevard.

At Wythe Road, US BUS 460 is joined by US 221, just east of Calvin Falwell Field. US 221/BUS 460 runs along the northwest side of the Spring Hill Cemetery and after they veer onto 12th Street the routes are joined by US BUS 501 at Campbell Avenue. After the bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railway's Danville District rail line all three routes turn south onto Kemper Street, which becomes a four-lane divided highway past 16th Street as it approaches the interchange with US BUS 29, an interchange that stands as the northern terminus of US 221. Kemper Street runs beneath another railroad line then veers back towards Campbell Avenue and ends there, but US BUS 460/501 continue south onto Campbell Avenue, as does the status as a four-lane divided highway until the divider ends just before it crosses a bridge over Norfolk Southern Railway's Blue Ridge District. From there, the routes wind through the mostly residential hills of southeastern Lynchburg, and serves as the northeastern terminus of State Route 128. The undivided section ends southeast of Woodrow Street and a former segment of Campbell Avenue. US BUS 460/501 ends at an interchange with US 460/29 near the Falwell Airport, while US 501 moves onto Campbell Avenue at that interchange towards South Boston, Durham, North Carolina, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Appomattox business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of Appomattox, Virginia. The road is named Confederate Boulevard and begins at a diamond interchange along US 460 with the southern terminus of State Route 26, and the east end of the concurrency with US 460 and State Route 24. The concurrency with SR 24 ends shortly after this interchange and makes a left turn onto Old Courthouse Road as it heads for Mt. Rush, Virginia. Simultaneously it joins another concurrency with State Route 131, which ends one block to the southeast. SR 131 leads to the Appomattox Historic District.

A former segment of the Confederate Highway can be found in the form of SR 1004 (Patricia Anne Lane) on the north side of the road, however a much more important intersection is encountered in the form of SR 727 (Church Street), which also leads to the Appomattox Historic District. US BUS 460 then runs between the Appomattox County Middle School and a school bus yard just west of the southeastern terminus of State Route 131, which is across from SR 631 (Oakleigh Avenue) and the eastern terminus of SR 1004. The trajectory of the route begins to curve more towards the east at SR 635. The route ends at a wye interchange at US 460 that includes a single east to west ramp between eastbound US 460 and westbound US BUS 460.

Pamplin City business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of Pamplin City, Virginia. The road is a former segment of US 460 named Pamplin Road which runs southeast into town along the east side of a Norfolk Southern Railroad line and serves as the northern terminus of State Route 47. East of there, the route curves to the northeast and runs along the west side of the High Bridge Trail until terminating at its parent route.

Farmville business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of Farmville, Virginia. It begins at a trumpet interchange with the west end of a concurrency with US 15 and briefly runs north before making a sharp right turn onto U.S. Business Route 15 and SR 695. As US BUS 15/460 gets closer to Downtown Farmville, SR 695 breaks away onto Fairgrounds Road, and the street name becomes West Third Street. The formerly overlapped secondary route intersects again, and later terminates at US BUS 15/460 just north of the High Bridge Trail. Within the Farmville Historic District, US BUS 15 leaves US BUS 460 at the city's four corners at South Main Street which is also the southern terminus of State Route 45 (North Main Street), and US BUS 460 continues onto East Third Street. The route curves toward the southeast occasionally passing some random shopping centers then turns to random residencies and small offices before entering a small swath of oak forest land. After crossing the bridge over Brirey Creek, US BUS 460 finally ends at a wye interchange with US 460 southeast of the town.

Burkeville business route

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of  Burkeville, Virginia. It is named Second Street and is concurrent with US 360 Business for its entire length.

Nottoway–Blackstone business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of Nottoway and Blackstone, Virginia.

The route begins at an unusual half-diamond/trumpet interchange onto a street called "Old Nottoway Road" which immediately runs over a bridge over a Norfolk and Western Railroad line southeast of the eastbound on-and-off-ramps of US 460. After the shared intersection with Brick Kiln Lane and Carson Lane, a secondary route veers off to the south named SR 625 (West Courthouse Road), which leads to the historic Nottoway County Courthouse. The rest of the route runs mostly southeast and is almost entirely rural with barren forests interrupted occasionally by farmland, moderate to minor intersections, and abandoned local businesses. The road widens in order to accommodate left-turn lanes in the vicinity of Nottoway High School, but returns to two lanes once it passes the school, returning to its previously described characteristics. Occasionally, the road gets close enough to the Norfolk and Western line it passed over near its western terminus. At a point where the road turns south, it even passes an abandoned restaurant and gas station. In Blackstone, the street name changes from Old Nottoway Road to Church Street, although there aren't as many churches along this street as the name implies. There is, however, a religious radio station, a city Department of Public Works office, the Blackstone Christian Church, the Blackstone Presbyterian Church, the Blackstone Volunteer Fire Department on the northwest corner of SR 614 (Mill Street), Blackstone United Methodist Church, and finally the St. Luke's Episcopal Church, where the street ends and US BUS 460 turns north in a concurrency with State Route 40 (South Main Street).

US BUS 460/SR 40 serves as the street where cross streets lose their "West" prefixes and get "East" prefixes and vice versa. They encounter SR 614 again at West/East Irvin Street. South Main Street itself becomes North Main Street at West/East Broad Street. SR 40 turns east onto Dimwiddie Street and US BUS 460 continues north onto North Main Street, which becomes Cox Road as it curves to the northeast and leaves the city limits. The surroundings become rural once again, as the road briefly runs parallel to the previously mentioned Norfolk and Western line, only to move away from the tracks in order to rise over an embankment so that it may cross another bridge over the tracks. US BUS 460 descends from that bridge near a local lumber yard on the south side of the road and north side of the tracks. The road curves to the northeast one last time where it descends as it finally terminates at the intersection of its parent route, which it shares with SR 609 (Yellow Bird Road).

Petersburg business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of Petersburg, Virginia. The route begins at Interstate 85 where the concurrency between US 1 and US 460 terminates at Exit 63. US 1/BUS 460 makes a sharp turn to the east around Central State Hospital and becomes West Washington Street. After running beneath a railroad bridge signed for Seaboard Systems, the routes become a one-way pair with northeast-bound traffic shifting to West Wythe Street and southeast-bound traffic remaining along West Washington Street. At South Street, the routes are joined by Virginia Truck Route 36. The concurrency with US 1/VA 36 Truck ends at US 301 (Adams Street), and US BUS 460 joins southbound US 301 itself. US 301/BUS 460 continue to run down East Wythe and Washington Streets, and after the first interchange with I-95 at Exit 52, the routes turn south onto South Crater Street. This concurrency only lasts until the second interchange with I-95 at Exit 50 B-C. Here, the eastbound lanes join the southbound frontage road of I-95, while the westbound one joins Winfield Road, which contains two-way traffic until it encounters the northbound I-95 off ramp for Exit 50B. Eastbound US BUS 460's concurrency with I-95 ends at a wye interchange at Exit 50A, and eastbound and westbound segments rejoin again along the route's only independent segment, which ends at Wagner Avenue where it terminates with both its parent route and SR 106.

Suffolk business loop

U.S. Route 460 Business (US 460 Business) is a  business route of Suffolk, Virginia. It begins at the partial cloverleaf interchange and the west end of US 460's concurrencies with US 13 and US 58, running southeast where it crosses over a bridge near Sadler Pond, and then curves to the south as it merges with State Route 10 and State Route 32 running in a short concurrency. The route turns east again at the intersection of US BUS 13 and US BUS 58, and follows that route onto another concurrency which ends at an interchange with US 13/58/460.

Chesapeake–Norfolk alternate route

U.S. Route 460 Alternate (US 460 Alternate) is a   alternate route between Norfolk and Chesapeake, Virginia. Part of the route is shared with US 58 until it reaches State Route 337, and briefly moves onto a concurrency with that route. After crossing a railroad line it shifts onto an interchange with Interstate 264 at Exit 4 and heads east through a fly-under ramp. The road shares a concurrency with I-264 through the Downtown Tunnel, and then the Berkley Bridge until it leaves at eastbound Exit 10 onto SR 337 again, this time along Tidewater Drive. US BUS 460 ends at US 460, while SR 337 continues northbound towards Interstate 564.

title: Cyprus Memorial Forest in Silifke

text:
The Cyprus Memorial Forest (), a.k.a. Cyprus Memorial Cemetery (), is a memorial forest including a symbolic military cemetery and an open-air museum dedicated to the Turkish servicemen killed in action during the 1974 Turkish military invasion of Cyprus. Established in 1976, it is located at Silifke district of Mersin Province in southern Turkey.

The memorial place is in a pine woods covering  at Çamdüzü,  west of Silifke on the provincial road 33-58 between Silifke and Gülnar just west of State road D715.

Following the 1974 Cypriot coup d'état, Turkey, under the guise of fearing an intercommunal  fighting and killing, intervened .

In 1976, a symbolic cemetery was established in commemoration of 454 Turkish army servicemen. A tree was planted next to each symbolic grave. A monument of Atatürk is erected in the middle of s ceremonial square surrounded by the symbolic graves. Another monument is dedicated to the fallen 220 warriors of the Turkish-Cypriot resistance. There is also a museum at the military memorial, in which weapons like rifles, pistols and ammunition are exhibited. Some heavy military equipment, such as a tank, a howitzer and an armoured personnel carrier, which were captured from the Greek-Cypriot Army, are on display in the open-air museum. The military memorial, which was initially administrated by the National Parks Authority, was later handed over to the Regional Forest Directoriate due to its nature of a forest.

By the summer of 2014, the Regional Forest Directoriate sent the museum's display items to the Mersin Naval Museum on grounds that they are not capable of their maintenance. In December, 2014, the heavy military equipment were transferred to the newly established Mersin Peace Museum, an action, which was highly protested by the local residents. Couple of days later, the open-air museum's articles were returned to the military memorial.

The memorial cemetery hosts an official ceremony every year.

title: Ribband Group

text:
The Ribband Group is a geologic group in south-eastern Ireland. It is the most extensive stratigraphic unit in this part of Ireland. It underlies much of County Wexford. It overlies the Bray Group and Cahore Group. It is made up of medium to dark grey laminated greywacke siltstones and mudstones with occasional green beds. Turbidite structures are locally prominent and the unit is dominantly a distal turbidite succession. Intercalated volcanic rocks are locally abundant. The ages of the rocks of the group range from the Cambrian to the Ordovician, Middle Cambrian-Llanvirn (Middle Ordovician).

The Ribband group is one of the four Early Palaeozoic stratigraphic groups in SE Ireland. The others are: the Bray group (made up of laterally-derived flysch) which is conformably overlain by the Ribband Group; the Duncannon Group (a highly faulted, predominantly volcanic, platform sequence) which unconformably overlies the Ribband Group except in the west; the Kilcullen Group in the Comeragh Mountains, which is composed of sand-dominant turbidites (lower Ordovician to at least the Llandovery Epoch of the Silurian) which are conformably underlain by the Ribband and Duncannon Groups. The sediments of the Ribband group pass upward into the Kilcullen Group turbidites. This reflects a continuous period of flysch sedimentation.

Although most of the Group is unfossiliferous (without fossils), locally sparse graptolite faunas and acritarchs have been found. Their dating range from the Drumian stage of the Cambrian to the Early-Mid Ordovician.

Geological formations related to the Ribband Group
The following is a classification by Brück & Molyneux (2011).
The Askingarran Formation forms a continuation of the Ribband Group which overlies it. Its top is faulted against the Tremadocian Ballyhoge Formation of the Ribband group. It is made up of black and grey laminated siltstones and mudstones with occasional green beds and common internal and external turbidite structures. It correlates with the Booley Bay Formation at Booley Bay and Clammers Point. These two formations comprise the oldest strata assigned to the Ribband Group.
The Polldarrig Formation of the Cullenstown Group (which stretches north-eastwards from Cullenstown Strand to Wexford town) is made up of grey and green, fine grained, laminated greywackes and shales and is the local equivalent of the Booley Bay  Formation.
The Booley Bay Formation comprises much of the northern part of Hook Head (south County Wexford) and extends west of Waterford Harbour (County Waterford).
The lithologies of the Cahore Group are indistinguishable from those of the Booley Bay Formation. The group passes up northwards into the Ribband Group and the boundary between them is faulted. Unlike the Ribband Group, which extends into the Ordovician, it is entirely Cambrian.
The Maulin Formation (Counties Wicklow and Carlow) stretches 100 km southwards from from Dublin Bay to County Carlow. It is made up of Ribband Group lithologies and includes dark grey phyllites, slates and thin grey quartzites. It is 900m thick in northern County Wicklow.

The Ballymadder Shear Zone (just east of Hook Head on the coast of south County Wexford), separates a to some extent different Cambrian succession immediately to the east to the one to its west. To its west the Clammers Point Unit (in the Bannow area) exposes a coastal section comprising Cahore Group and Ribband Group sediments.

title: Stephen H. White

text:
Stephen H. White is an American Biophysicist, academic, and author. He is a Professor Emeritus of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of California, Irvine.

White has published over 350 papers, has been cited over 30,000 times, and has a Google Scholar H-index of 84. He has focused his research on structure and folding of membrane proteins, with particular attention on protein structure prediction, peptide–bilayer interactions, cell membrane biophysics, structure of membranes and lipid bilayers, and antimicrobial peptides. He was awarded the 2014 Carl Brändén Award for his contributions to the field of membrane protein folding. He has authored several book chapters, and two books entitled, Membrane Protein Structure: Experimental Approaches and Cell Boundaries: How Membranes and Their Proteins Work.

White is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Neutron Scattering Society of America, and Biophysical Society, where he also served as President (1996-1997). He has served on numerous advisory boards of several professional organizations, including NIH, NSF, Department of Energy, and European Science Foundation.

Early life and education
White was born in Wewoka, Oklahoma, in May 1940. White earned an amateur radio license at age 13 and a commercial Second-Class Radiotelephone License at the age of 17. He enrolled at the University of Colorado, eventually majoring in physics. After his graduation in 1963, he enrolled at the University of Washington, and received a master's degree in physics in 1965 under H.G. Dehmelt (Department of Physics) on the radio frequency spectrum of the H2+ ion. In 1969, he earned his doctoral degree in physiology and biophysics for his work planar lipid bilayers in the lab of J. Walter Woodbury.

Prior to completing his postdoctoral studies at the University of Virginia in 1972, White served two years in the U.S. Army to the rank of captain.

Career
White began his academic career as an assistant professor in what is now the department of physiology and biophysics at the University of California, Irvine in 1972. He was promoted to associate professor in 1975, and to professor in 1979. He became professor emeritus in 2012. During his tenure at UCI, he also held concurrent appointments at Brookhaven National Laboratories as guest associate physiologist till 1983, and as guest biophysicist till 1996. He has been serving as a guest scientist at NIST Center for Neutron Research since 2001.

White was appointed as vice-chair in the department of physiology and biophysics at UCI from 1974 till 1975, and as chair from 1977 till 1989.

Research
White’s research is focused on membrane protein folding and stability, energetics of protein-bilayer interactions, experimentally determined hydrophobicity scales, translocon-assisted folding of membrane proteins, structure of fluid lipid bilayers, and MD simulations of lipid bilayers. His experimental expertise includes X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, molecular dynamics simulations, calorimetry, physical chemistry, surface chemistry, statistical analysis of protein sequences, electrical impedance methods, planar bilayer methodology, peptide chemistry, and lipid chemistry.

White’s lab determined the first fully resolved structure of a fluid lipid bilayer by combining x-ray and neutron diffraction data, and subsequently validated molecular dynamics simulations of fluid bilayers. White wrote a critical review of the principles of membrane folding and stability in 1999 that is among the ten most cited articles in Annual Review of Biophysics. Using a thermodynamic framework, he highlighted three main aspects of membrane protein folding energetics: protein binding and folding in bilayer interfaces, transmembrane helix insertion, and helix-helix interactions. In his paper “Mechanisms of Integral Membrane Protein Insertion and Folding” written in collaboration with Gunnar von Heijne, he evaluated the progress made during the past decade toward understanding translocon-assisted folding of membrane proteins and reviewed the role of basic thermodynamic principles in MP folding and assembly. In 2005, he introduced an algorithm for computing the absolute partitioning free energies of unfolded peptides into the phosphatidylcholine bilayer interface. In his studies, he also described how partitioning of membrane-active oligopeptides into membrane interfaces plays a significant role in terms of promoting the formation of secondary structure. Focusing on the partitioning of two series of small model peptides into the interfaces of neutral (zwitterionic) phospholipid membranes, he determined a complete interfacial hydrophobicity scale that includes the contribution of the peptide bond. His study with von Heijne based on the recognition of transmembrane helices by the endoplasmic reticulum translocon introduced a new dimension to the problem of predicting transmembrane helices from amino acid sequences, as well as showing that direct protein–lipid interactions are critical during translocon-mediated membrane insertion.

White has studied the preference of tryptophan and tyrosine residues for membrane interfaces as significant features of membrane proteins. He explored several possibilities for tryptophan's interfacial preference. Most recently his lab has developed methods for studying membrane protein biogenesis and folding in E. coli using chimeric single-span membrane proteins.

White was part of a consortium of scientists that developed a comprehensive classification system for lipids.

title: Joe Gambles

text:
Joseph Coyne Gambles (born 16 January 1982) is an Australian professional triathlete from Launceston, Tasmania who races in long distance, non-drafting triathlon events. In 2011 he placed second at the ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championships and in 2013 he finished third at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship.

Career
Gambles was born in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England and moved with his family to Australia at age three. Athletically, he began running at five or six years old in local clubs. He competed in his first triathlon at 13, and won, before taking triathlon seriously at age 15 once he joined the Australian junior development program. He raced as a professional for the first time at 16 as a "wildcard" before competing as an elite age group athlete for two seasons winning each race he entered. This success culminated in the 2000 World Championships when Joe took second in the 16- to 19-year-old category. These results led to Gambles being named the Australian Junior Triathlete of the year. From 2001 to 2004 Gambles focused on obtaining his Bachelor of Commerce at university while still competing in events in Australia, including the Triathlon Australia Accenture Series. After graduating he became a full-time athlete.

Gambles would transition from draft legal to non-drafting races, a style of racing that better suited him, particularly half-iron and iron-distances. Among his other successes he has won Ironman 70.3 Boulder for five time (2011 - 2014, 2016), a win in his Ironman debut at Wisconsin in 2010, a 2008 victory at the European Long Distance Triathlon Championships as a competitor for Great Britain, and a course record holder for 10 different half-iron distance courses.

title: Vuosaarenhuippu

text:
Vuosaarenhuippu is a recreational area in the northern part of Vuosaari in eastern Helsinki. Earlier it was the Vuosaari dumping ground and a place where land masses from construction sites were deposited. Through ecological restoration the area has been turned into a natural-like environment, the scale of which is unprecedented in the history of Helsinki. A large number of both flora and fauna inhabit the area. There are paths connecting the area to the nearby Mustavuori protected area.

Dumping ground

History of the dumping ground
Vuosaari dumping ground was a municipal dumping ground in the years 1966–1975 and 1979–1988. During the latter period, it was one of the "big three". The two others were the Iso-Huopalahti dumping ground and the Pasila dumping ground. The Vuosaari dumping ground is the second biggest dumping ground in the Nordic countries ever, second only to the current Ämmässuo dumping ground in Espoo, Finland. The waste taken there included domestic waste, industrial waste, and in all likelihood also hazardous waste.

The Lohja Kalkkitehdas dumping ground
In the early 1960s, the Lohjan Kalkkitehdas Oy (‘Lohja Burnt Chalk Factory’) had a limestone quarry in the area and a dumping ground in the area. The quarry would later fill with water to become a pond. The speciality of the quarry was pink marble, which first mined by Lohjan Kalkki Oy and later Rudus Oy would retrieve slates from depths up to  deep. It seems that there was also a stone crushing plant operated in the area, since the local residents made a complaint about the dust it emitted. As a result of this complaint, it was found that the amount of dust in the air was harmful to human beings, and the company was ordered to manage its dust emissions. It is difficult of find more precise information on this phase of the dumping ground.

The Vuosaari dumping ground was created officially after Vuosaari had been annexed to the city in 1966 and after the Vartiokylä dumping ground had become too full to be used any longer. At the time, Vuosaari was a remote place next to the city boundaries against Helsinki Rural Commune and Sipoo. In spite of the remote location, the nearest dwellings were located only  from the dumping ground. In addition, the place was unguarded and was full of rats and seagulls. The waste formed loose masses of matter and fires were frequent; the dense smoke from these fires was a severe inconvenience for the local residents.

From 1975 the dumping ground was temporarily out of service, but when the Iso-Huopalahti dumping ground closed, the city reactivated it again. The residents considered this to be an illegal maneuver and were strongly opposed to it. It was said the site was still badly managed, as it was still unguarded, and it was claimed by the media to accept hazardous waste, such as poisons, petroleum derivatives and solvents. In 1980, the housing cooperatives of the neighbourhood complained about the dumping ground to the health authorities, to the Helsinki Police Department and finally, to the Chancellor of Justice. Also, the Finnish Nature Conservation Society demanded that the dumping ground be closed. The Uusimaa Provincial Court banned the use of the site, and as the available sites for the city to dispose of were now even more limited waste, the importance of the Kyläsaari Waste Incineration Plant in the cities waste management system grew. Apparently, since the use of the site was now banned, it consequently became a guarded site in 1981.

It seems that domestic and industrial waste was no longer taken to Vuosaari, but supposedly landfill materials were still taken there until 1988. And some sources even identify the Vuosaari dumping ground as the main dumping ground for the city of Helsinki during the 1980s.

The site of the former dumping ground thus consists of two parts, the former dumping ground proper, which amounts to , and the landfill hill, which apparently amounts to .

Since 1983, the Helsinki Metropolitan Area Council has been responsible for the area. During its last years of operation, the dumping ground was repeatedly featured in the mass media. The closing of this site in all likelihood was due to negative public opinion resulting from this attention.

The amount and nature of the waste
A total of 3.4 million tons of municipal solid waste and 150,000 tons of industrial waste was taken to the site, though some sources claim only 1.7 million tons were accepted. In addition, construction waste, sulphur removal agents, solvents, hospital waste, ashes from coal power plants, precipitates and silt have also been disposed of there. Among these, there are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals and sulphur compounds. In all likelihood, toxic wastes were also accepted.

Restoration
In the 1990s, a gas emission collection system was built in the area. It comprises 27 wells, plumbing, a pumping station, a flame incinerator, and a system of pipelines that takes the heat into a heating plant. After the dumping ground ceased accepting waste, substantial amounts of clean soil were placed on top of it. At some point, either before or after the use of the site as a dumping ground, the area was cordoned off with walls. In spite of this, the former dumping ground has been classified as a risky site, and the contents of the rainwater and water from melting snow that passes through the site are constantly being monitored.

Landscape restoration and landscape
The actual landscape restoration can take place only when the gas emissions from the landfill have ended. The new pipeline system is designed to accelerate the escaping process of the gases.

Soil has accumulated on the landfill hill for decades. The topsoil for the hill was brought from the construction site of the Vuosaari Harbour. Earthmovers have brought 80,000 cubic metres of earth from Käärmeniemi (the site of the harbour). The soil has been replaced in an innovative way, preserving the order of the original soil profile. Thus the top layer, with its organic matter, microbes, seeds and organisms intact was placed on the top, so that after they have recovered from the shock of the transfer, they can start a new life at the new location. Certain precious soil types with their plants were even transported on stretchers as if they had been human patients. Thus plants, organisms and mycelia will continue growing in the new location. Since the height of the hill is considerable because of the large amount of materials deposited, the hill can be seen from afar, and from the top of the hill, one can see most of the surrounding areas.

But after all this had been going on for quite some time already, the plans changed again. One commentator said that

The landscape restoration by the City of Helsinki Public Works Department, and especially the head of its workshop, Mr. Jukka Toivonen, has been lauded by The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation, and they have received the Countdown Prize from the Finnish IUCN Committee. According to the commentator quoted above,

Inspiration for the landscape design has been drawn from the biotopes of the outer islands of Finland's archipelagos, the open slopes of heights, increasingly rare types of groves and the grazed traditional landscape, such as the dale of Häntälä in Somero.

In the summer of 2014, soil taken from the future residential neighbourhood of Kruunuvuorenranta has been brought here. The landscape designers are eagerly waiting to see what kind of plants will emerge from the seeds in that soil.

The present state of the site
Although the city of Helsinki began the landscape restoration only in 2003, over 400 plant species are found here, as well as many rare or endangered animal species. A significant part of the flora of the landfill area has originally come here with the top soils chosen from construction sites, either as already in plant form or as seeds. The Vuosaarenhuippu area is a kind of a reservation, into which it is possible to transfer rare and regional plant species which are overrun by the expanding development of the city.

As a result of the accumulation of land masses, the hill is a rather high one, and it can be seen from afar, and from the top, one can also see most of the surrounding areas. At the highest spot, at an elevation of , there is a scenic spot, from which one can see a view to e.g. the Vuosaari Harbour.

From the north, there is an accessible route to the highest point of the hill. The accessible route begins at the parking lot next to Niinisaarentie Street, and it proceeds along the official route. The route proceeds between the old dumping ground and the reed growth of the Porvarinlahti Bay and on to the northwestern slope of the hill. From there the route climbs up the slope to the northern point of the hilltop.

From the south, however, there is no route accessible for all. The most obvious route, and the shortest, as the crow flies, from Niinisaarentie to the eastern slope is not open to the public.

STARA, the service provider of the City of Helsinki, writes the following on the site:

title: Paulo Pereira (footballer)

text:
Paulo António do Prado Pereira (born 27 August 1965) is a Brazilian retired footballer who played as a defender.

Over the course of 8 seasons, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 126 games, and 19 goals, mainly at Porto, but also representing rivals Benfica, winning seven titles between them.

Career
Born in Campinas, Pereira career started at Esporte Clube São Bento, competing exclusively in the regional league, Campeonato Paulista, and never finish higher than ninth. After three years at Bentão, he moved to the Mexican league, joining Monterrey for the 1987-88 season.

In 1988, he moved to the Portuguese league, joining FC Porto and debuting on 7 January 1989 in an away loss to Boavista. In the five seasons he spent with the Dragons, he won two league titles and three Portuguese Cup's, partnering with Geraldão as a centre-back in his early days, but later moving to the right with the arrival of Aloísio and Fernando Couto.

With his influence diminished, he spent one season on loan to Vitória S.C., and only added 11 league appearances in the last season. In December 1994, the 30-year-old moved to rivals Benfica, reuniting with former Porto manager, Artur Jorge. He debuted on 5 February 1995, in a home win against União da Madeira, and scored his only two goals with them in the following match-days, on 12 February and 19 February. He was mainly used as a centre-back, alongside Hélder or Mozer, but his importance gradually dwelled and on the summer of 1996, he transferred to Genoa.

With the Italian team was competing in the second division, Pereira added nearly fifty league caps, helping the club almost gain promotion for the Serie A in his first year. After two seasons with the Griffins, he moved to Reggina, succeeding on getting the club promoted in his only season there.

In 2008, Pereira started working as an assistant manager, often with his brother as main coach, passing through several clubs, the most known being Grêmio and Flamengo.

Personal life
He is the twin brother of Brazilian international Paulo Silas.

title: Samuel M. Glassford

text:
Samuel McFadden Glassford (November 15, 1825 – February 8, 1901) was an American politician from Pennsylvania. Raised in Kentucky, Glassford followed his family to farm in Johnson County, Illinois. He then followed his father to St. Louis, Missouri where Glassford engaged first in the sugar trade, then purchased some coal mines. He returned to the family farm in Illinois in 1860 and amassed a large estate. He served two terms in the Illinois Senate in the 1870s.

Biography
Samuel McFadden Glassford was born in Indiana County, Pennsylvania on November 15, 1825. When he was eight years old, his family moved to Mason County, Kentucky; his father George had opened a blacksmith shop in May's Lick. Glassford attended public schools there until 1841, when the family moved to Johnson County, Illinois near Vienna. In 1849, he left for St. Louis, Missouri, where his father had moved three years earlier. There, Glassford worked for sugar refiners Belcher & Brothers. Glassford purchased their coal mining interests from the controlling family and focused the rest of his career on the coal trade.

In 1860, Glassford sold his interest in coal to his brother John, then retired to the family farm in Elvira, Illinois. He had inherited a share of the farm from his parents and bought out the portions granted to the other heirs. He continued to accumulate land for the farm until his estate totaled approximately . In 1861, he partnered with his brother to build a flour and woolen mill in Vienna. However, shortly before the mill was put into motion, it burned down for a loss of about $40,000. In the ensuing years, Glassford became a staunch prohibitionist. In 1874, he was elected to the Illinois Senate, where he served two consecutive two-year terms as an independent.

Glassford married Elizabeth Jones in 1846, but she died a few years later. In 1851, Glassford married her sister, Juliet Jones. They had three children together: Josephine, Charles A., and Mary E. The Glassfords were members of the Christian Church. Samuel M. Glassford died near Vienna on February 8, 1901 and was buried in the Old Oliver Cemetery.

title: Wolf Furniture

text:
Wolf Furniture was a furniture retailer operating eighteen showrooms throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia under the Wolf Furniture and Gardiner Wolf Furniture store names.

History
The company, originally City Furniture Company, was founded in 1902 by Charles Wolf and John Fox in downtown Altoona, Pennsylvania. In 1915, Wolf bought out Fox's interests, constructed a new five story building in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and renamed the business Wolf Furniture Company.  At that time, it was the largest furniture store between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

After Wolf's death in 1918, sons George and Herbert opened ten locations in and around Altoona. By 1992, the chain had grown to eighteen stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia.  That year, the company decided to sell off fourteen of its stores to Heilig-Meyers Furniture.  The Wolf chain, however, would eventually expand again including returning to locations held prior to the Heilig-Meyers sale.  In 2000, Doug Wolf became the 8th president of Wolf Furniture Company. By 2003, the company volume exceeded $70,000,000, qualifying Wolf Furniture for a spot in the Top 100 among U.S. home furnishing retailers. The company expanded to include twelve locations in three states. The newest showroom was opened in Leesburg, Virginia in 2012. In 2013, long time Wolf executive Gene Stoltz was promoted to President of Wolf Furniture Company.

In 2014, Paula Deen visited the Hagerstown showroom for a meet and greet with over 1,500 fans in promotion of her Universal Furniture collection, Paula Deen Home Furniture.  In 2015, Wolf Furniture purchased the 73-year-old Maryland-based Gardiners Furniture chain and rebranded the stores Gardiner Wolf. This acquisition brought the number of Wolf-owned stores to eighteen.  In 2017, Wolf Furniture was acquired by Art Van Furniture.  Under the agreement, the Wolf company maintained its name and all current management and staff.

In 2020, Art Van Furniture filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with plans to liquidate all company-owned stores.  Two of the former Wolf stores in central Pennsylvania were acquired by Levin Furniture in 2020 and re-opened under the Levin name in 2021.

title: Lists of skepticism topics

text:
Scientific skepticism (also spelled scepticism) is the practice of questioning whether claims are supported by empirical research and have reproducibility, as part of a methodological norm pursuing "the extension of certified knowledge". Scientific skepticism, or skepticism for short, manifests itself since the 20th century as a societal phenomenon involving several individuals and more or less organised groups through several different media, commonly referred to as "the skeptical movement". This is a compilation of the various lists about skepticism with articles in Wikipedia.

title: Xenia Field

text:
Xenia Noelle Field MBE (née Lowinsky; 25 December 1894 – 24 January 1998) was a British county councillor, prison reformer, philanthropist, horticulturist and author.

Early life
Field was born on 25 December 1894 at Secunderabad, India, where her father Thomas Hermann Lowinsky was general manager of the Hyderabad (Deccan) Co coal mines. On their return to England, the family lived at Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire. Field was a pupil at Heathfield School, and then attended finishing school in Paris. Her father was a keen gardener, who won a Royal Horticultural Society gold medal.

Career
In World War II, after a stint in the Women's Royal Voluntary Service, she led the Women's Organization for Salvage and Recovery for Herbert Morrison of the Ministry of Supply.

With Morrison's support, she was elected as a Labour member of London County Council in 1946, representing Paddington North electoral division. She stood, unsuccessfully, for parliament, first at North Somerset in 1950 and then at Colchester in 1951. She also sat as a magistrate, and became interested in prison reform. She joined the breakaway Social Democratic Party in 1982, shortly after their formation.

She used a bequest from her father to establish a charitable trust, the Field Foundation, under whose auspices she gave financial support to The Salvation Army, persuading them to set up the first bail hostel in Britain, in 1971. She was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1958, and appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 12 June 1967. She also won the Royal Horticultural Society's Veitch Memorial Medal, in 1972.

Personal life
She married Dr. James Field, a much older man, in 1936; he died only five years later.

Death
She died at Goldsborough Nursing Home, Ladbroke Road, Kensington, London on 24 January 1998, from a stroke. She was 103.
