500 twin jets for their longer Caribbean routes. Smaller Britten-Norman Islander STOL (short take-off and landing) twin prop aircraft were used during this time as well. LIAT operated the stretched version of the British-manufactured BAC One-Eleven, being the series 500 model, which was comparable to McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 being flown during the late 1960s and early 1970s by a competing airline, Puerto Rico-based Caribair (Puerto Rico). The BAC One-Eleven jets were supplied to LIAT by U.K. based Court Line.
Court Line went bankrupt in August 1974, and the BAC One-Elevens were removed from the LIAT fleet. In order to keep the airline flying, the governments of 11 Caribbean nations stepped | 27,100 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
in and acquired the airline. The jets were replaced with a series of smaller types, such as the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter STOL (short take off and landing) turboprop.
The 1980s were a decade of growth for the airline. By 1986, many daily flights were operated to Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as other regions that the airline had never flown to. Faster de Havilland Canada DHC-8-100 Dash 8 turboprops were acquired in order to reduce flight times systemwide.
In November 1995, LIAT was partially privatized, to save it from bankruptcy once again. LIAT also began operating the larger 50-seater de Havilland Canada DHC-8–300 Dash 8 turboprop.
In | 27,101 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
June 2013, LIAT received its first ATR 72 series 600 aircraft (registration V2-LIA). The airline completed its transition from the Dash 8 fleet to an all ATR fleet in 2016.
In January 2007 the airline announced an intended merger with Caribbean Star Airlines, and they entered into a commercial alliance, involving the flying of a combined schedule. All flights were marketed as LIAT, although the airlines continued to operate separately using their own air operators certificates, until after completion of the merger. The merged airline was planning to use the LIAT brand with a merged fleet which is standardised on the Bombardier Dash 8 Q300.
However, in June 2007, the shareholder governments | 27,102 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
of Barbados, Antigua and St. Vincent gave the go-ahead to the Board of Directors to buy out the assets of Caribbean Star instead. LIAT purchased Caribbean Star Airlines on the 24 October 2007 and five of Caribbean Star's DHC-8 aircraft were then transferred to LIAT. As another result of the merger, LIAT changed its slogan to "LIAT, Star of the Caribbean", which was used as the slogan for a short time, and was then changed back to "The Caribbean Airline".
# Ownership.
The airline is owned by seven Caribbean governments, with three being the major shareholders : Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda and St. Vincent and the Grenadines along with Dominica(94.7 %); other Caribbean governments, private shareholders | 27,103 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
and employees (5.3%). It has 667 employees (at December 2018). The government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, which also is the sole shareholder of another regional carrier, Caribbean Airlines, the national airline of Trinidad and Tobago, was also offered the option to be another shareholder in LIAT, but the government of Prime Minister Patrick Manning rejected the offer.
# Corporate affairs.
The airline is headquartered in Antigua. The Engineering and Flight Operations Department are located at the V. C. Bird International Airport in Saint George Parish, Antigua. The Corporate Headquarters which includes the call centre and customer relations departments are located at the Sealy Building | 27,104 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
on the Sir George Walter Highway. The commercial department is located in St. Michael, Barbados.
The airline is managed by a board headed by Dr. Jean Holder. The current Executive Management includes:
- Julie Reifer-Jones, Chief Executive Officer
- Rojer Inglis, Chief Financial Officer,
- Audra Walker, Chief Commercial Officer
- Ilean Ramsey, Director, Human Resources
- Alan Alexander, Director of Maintenance and Engineering
- Arthur Senhouse, Director of Flight Operations
- Diane Shurland, General Counsel
## CEO changeover.
On Wednesday, March 26, 2014 the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) reported that British aviation executive, David Evans, was selected by the board of directors | 27,105 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
to become LIAT's next chief executive. Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) late Wednesday. On April 22, 2014, Evans was appointed as CEO of LIAT.
Evans' appointment comes weeks after the shareholders mandated Chairman Jean Holder to study the future of the airline for 100 days, and shareholder Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves had boasted that more than 200 people had applied for the position.
Evans unfortunately resigned on April 13, 2016 amidst a heated meeting with the board of directors, leaving LIAT yet again without a CEO.
In August 2017, Mrs. Julie Reifer-Jones was appointed CEO of the company. She is the first female CEO of the airline and currently the only female CEO of an airline in | 27,106 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
the Caribbean.
# Codeshare agreements.
Until 2008, LIAT's services to Anguilla, Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat and St. Vincent were codeshared with Carib Aviation, which also used Antigua and Barbuda as its hub. The agreement was canceled due to Carib Aviation's discontinuation of all flights effective September 30, 2008.
# Cargo services.
LIAT also provides cargo services, with its service called "Quikpak". This service provides Airport-to-Airport & Door-to-Door, customs cleared delivery service throughout the Caribbean. The delivery time is typically within one or two days, guaranteed by the LIAT staff.
LIAT would also begin all cargo services with a Dash 8–100, | 27,107 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
which was to be converted from a passenger aircraft to a full-fledged cargo aircraft. Once the new cargo service comes on stream, customers for the first time would be able to book cargo online on the company's web site. Already, there has been considerable interest by regional manufacturers, agricultural exporters and other traders in the start-up of the service.
The introduction of its new cargo service was planned for later in 2011.
# Re-Fleeting.
Early in 2013 the airline announced plans to acquire two entirely new types of turboprop aircraft, the 48-seat ATR 42 series 600 and 68-seat ATR 72 series 600
to replace its aging fleet of Dash 8's, both purchased directly by the airline, and | 27,108 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
acquired during their merger with Caribbean Star. The introduction of these new propjets will mark the first time that LIAT has operated ATR aircraft. LIAT began accepting deliveries in mid 2013. Later in 2013 then CEO, Capt. Ian Brunton, apologised for what he described as a 'meltdown' around a re-fleeting exercise, with LIAT changing aircraft from Dash-8 types to ATR 42 and ATR 72 types. The troubles, which stranded thousands of passengers across LIAT's 1,300 miles of network, started in early August and continued for some two months while LIAT struggled with crewing both types and deliveries of the new aircraft. To compound the problems, an engine of one of the new aircraft took a week to | 27,109 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
be replaced, and one of the new aircraft was chartered to the Prime Minister of Taiwan in the middle of the debacle. The CEO blamed the numerous flight delays and cancellations on "unscheduled maintenance, crew shortages, bad weather, airport limitations, obtaining licences for operating our new ATR aircraft, Tropical Storm Chantal, strong surface winds, unfavourable weather conditions, airport limitations, and runway lights". Capt. Brunton resigned in late September, with his departure on October 1, 2013.

- On August 23, 1959, a LIAT de Havilland DH-114 Heron 2B crashed on landing in St. Kitts. The aircraft was en route between St. Johns, Antigua and St. Kitts. After landing, it overran the runway and was damaged beyond repair. No one was seriously injured and there were no fatalities.
- LIAT Flight 319: On August 4, 1986, a LIAT de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter crashed | 27,112 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
into the Caribbean Sea. The aircraft was en route between St. Lucia and St. Vincent when it crashed due to poor weather conditions, while on approach. After a full day's search failed to find a trace of the Twin Otter, all of the 11 passengers and two crew were presumed dead.
- On December 2, 2010, LIAT flight LI362, a Bombardier Dash 8-Q300 (DHC-8-300) carrying 24 passengers, en route to San Juan, Puerto Rico, made an emergency landing at the V.C. Bird International Airport in Antigua after losing a wheel from one of the main landing gear. As a precautionary measure, emergency services were placed on standby.

The aircraft landed safely with no major damage or any injuries to the passengers or crew.
# Reputation.
LIAT has a mixed reputation among both locals and visitors to and from the Caribbean Islands. Their flights often operate irregularly, with inconsistent arrival and departure. Baggage is often misdirected or not loaded entirely. They are known for having very poor customer service, late | 27,114 |
1055834 | LIAT | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=LIAT | LIAT
departures, flights cancellation and their staff are criticised as surly and unhelpful. These problems were exacerbated with the 2010 strikes and again during the labor disputes in 2013 and 2017 – with many flights canceled and passengers stranded and unable to receive refunds. The management and head operators of the airline makes it clear that they are not responsible for any flight cancellations or stranded passengers.
In July 2013, the airline received a complaint from a passenger, which went viral on the internet and caused a reaction by Virgin Group President Richard Branson.
The airline has greatly improved in on-time performance over the years. Following the refleeting to the ATR, | 27,115 |

Schenectady Locomotive Works
The Schenectady Locomotive Works built railroad locomotives from its founding in 1848 through its merger into American Locomotive Company (Alco) in 1901.
After the 1901 merger, Alco made the Schenectady plant its headquarters in Schenectady, New York.
One of the better-known locomotives to come out of the Schenectady shops was Central Pacific Railroad type 4-4-0 No. 60, the "Jupiter" (built in September 1868), one of two steam locomotives to take part in the "Golden Spike Ceremony" to celebrate the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad.

1055895 | Pessac-Léognan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pessac-Léognan | Pessac-Léognan
Pessac-Léognan
Pessac-Léognan () is a wine growing area and Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, in the northern part of the Graves region of Bordeaux. Unlike most Bordeaux appellations, Pessac-Léognan is equally famous for both red and (dry) white wines, although red wine is still predominant. It includes the only red-wine producer outside the Haut-Médoc classified in the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, the "premier cru" Château Haut-Brion, and also includes all of the châteaux listed in the 1953/59 classification of Graves. These classed growths account for a third of the wine produced in Pessac-Léognan.
# Geography.
Pessac-Léognan, France lies on the left bank of the Garonne. | 27,121 |
1055895 | Pessac-Léognan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pessac-Léognan | Pessac-Léognan
It is immediately south of the city of Bordeaux (with a small portion to the west): indeed some of the northern vineyards of Pessac-Léognan are completely surrounded by the housing estates of Bordeaux, as a result of the city's southward expansion. It consists of 8 communes: (from north to south) Mérignac, Talence, Pessac, Gradignan, Villenave-d'Ornon, Cadaujac, Léognan and Martillac. A significant part of the area is forested. It includes 1580 hectares of vines. The soil is very gravelly.
# History.
Pessac-Léognan has a long wine-making history. Red wine from this region (and the rest of Graves) was the wine originally loved by the English as "claret", during the 300 years that Aquitaine | 27,122 |
1055895 | Pessac-Léognan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pessac-Léognan | Pessac-Léognan
was under English rule, from 1152 to 1453. The area includes the oldest named property in Bordeaux, Château Pape Clément, founded by Pope Clement V in 1306. In the mid-seventeenth century, Château Haut-Brion became the first château of international renown, being praised by Samuel Pepys in 1663, while the Médoc was still swamp.
However, the "appellation" of Pessac-Léognan is relatively recent, dating to 1987. Before then, the area was part of the Graves AOC, and known informally as "Haut-Graves".
# Wine.
## Red wine.
As with the Médoc to the north, Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominant grape, but a somewhat greater proportion of Merlot is typically used in the blend. Cabernet Franc is also | 27,123 |
1055895 | Pessac-Léognan | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pessac-Léognan | Pessac-Léognan
used, with small amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec. Styles vary more widely than in most Bordeaux AOCs, but typical flavours are blackcurrant and cedar, and the wines are often described as 'earthy'.
## White wine.
Sauvignon blanc and Sémillon are the grapes used, usually blended. The wine is typically fermented in barrels at a low temperature. Nectarine is a typical flavor when the wines are young, maturing (over 7–15 years) into flavours of nuts, honey and custard. They are said to be among France's greatest whites.
# Food matching.
The traditional pairing for reds is with roast lamb, although they are flexible enough to have with ham, beef or game. The whites complement fish and seafood.

Burbage, Wiltshire
Burbage is a village and civil parish in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, England. It is about south of Marlborough and west of Newbury.
The parish includes the hamlets of Durley, Eastcourt, Marr Green, Ram Alley, Stibb Green, The Warren (which is close to Tottenham House), and Westcourt.
# Local government.
Burbage is a civil parish with an elected parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority. Both councils are responsible for different aspects of local government.
The parish is part of the 'Burbage and the Bedwyns' electoral ward. The ward starts in the north at Little Bedwyn, stretches to Great Bedwyn and Shalbourne then extends west to Grafton | 27,127 |
1055863 | Burbage, Wiltshire | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burbage,%20Wiltshire | Burbage, Wiltshire
and Burbage. The population of the ward taken at the 2011 census was 4,829.
# Geography.
Burbage stands on a watershed at the eastern end of the Vale of Pewsey, with streams to the east draining to the Thames via the Dun and Kennet; to the south draining to the Salisbury Avon via the River Bourne; and to the north and west direct to the Avon.
The village High Street was the main north-south road from Marlborough to Andover, now the A346 primary route, until a bypass was built to the west in 1991. A more minor route from Pewsey to Hungerford and the M4 (designated A338 to the east and B3087 to the west) passes to the south of the village. Burbage no longer has a station on the nearby Reading | 27,128 |
1055863 | Burbage, Wiltshire | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burbage,%20Wiltshire | Burbage, Wiltshire
to Taunton line, the nearest stations being at Great Bedwyn (which has commuter services to London) and .
Burbage lies in the heart of the North Wessex Downs, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
# History.
The Kennet and Avon Canal, completed in 1810, crosses the parish just north of the village, where it passes through the Bruce Tunnel. Burbage Wharf was further west, where the canal passes under the present-day A346.
The Great Western Railway's Berks and Hants Extension Railway from to was built close to the canal in the 1860s, eventually becoming part of the to section of the main line from in 1906. The GWR built north of the village, above the canal tunnel; British Railways | 27,129 |
1055863 | Burbage, Wiltshire | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burbage,%20Wiltshire | Burbage, Wiltshire
closed it in 1966 but the line remains in use. Until 1947 there was also a goods-only station at Burbage Wharf.
The Midland and South Western Junction Railway opened from to in 1882, the latter station being situated in nearby West Grafton. The northern section of the M&SWJR line from Swindon to had opened in 1881, and this was joined to the southern section from 1883 by using the Great Western Railway's branch between Savernake and . In 1898 the M&SWJR got its own route between Marlborough and Grafton and a new station opened at . The M&SWJR had therefore become a route between and Cheltenham and the Midlands. British Railways closed it in 1961.
The population of Burbage peaked at around | 27,130 |
1055863 | Burbage, Wiltshire | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burbage,%20Wiltshire | Burbage, Wiltshire
1600 with the building of the railway in 1860, declining to a low point of 1000 a century later. It has since increased steadily, regaining its 1860s level in the 21st century.
The first school in the village was built at Eastcourt in 1806, rebuilt in 1856 and supplemented by a separate building for younger children in 1861. This school was taken over by the county council around 1906, and educated children of all ages until Marlborough secondary school opened in 1946. The 19th-century buildings (designated Grade II listed in 1988) were closed in 1989 upon the opening of the new school, and became a private residence.
# Church and chapel.
The Church of England parish church of All Saints | 27,131 |
1055863 | Burbage, Wiltshire | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Burbage,%20Wiltshire | Burbage, Wiltshire
was rebuilt in 1854 by T.H. Wyatt, then extended with a south aisle in 1876. The original church was from the 12th century and was rebuilt in the 14th and 15th, when the tower was added; the porch was added in the 16th. The present church retains only the tower and porch of the earlier building. The church is now part of the Savernake team ministry.
A small Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built at Eastcourt in 1822, and replaced by a larger building on the High Street in 1906. This closed in 1996 and is now a private house.
# Amenities.
Burbage Primary School serves the village and surrounding area. The school was built in 1989 on a centrally-located site, between the High Street and Eastcourt.

Demon Attack
Demon Attack is a fixed shooter written by Rob Fulop for the Atari 2600 and published by Imagic in 1982. It was ported to the Intellivision, Odyssey², Atari 8-bit family, VIC-20, Commodore 64, IBM PC (as a booter), TRS-80, IBM PCjr, and TRS-80 Color Computer. There is also a port for the TI-99/4A titled Super Demon Attack.
"Demon Attack" is supposedly based on the 1979 arcade shooter "Galaxian", though it closely resembles several waves from the 1980 arcade game "Phoenix". The similarities prompted a lawsuit from Atari, Inc., who had purchased the latter's home video game rights. Imagic settled out of court, and "Demon Attack" became Imagic's best-selling game as of 1983.
# Gameplay.

on the ice planet Krybor, the player uses a laser cannon to destroy legions of demons that attack from above. Visually, the demons appear in waves similar to other space-themed shooters, but individually combine from the sides of the screen to the area above the player's cannon.
Each wave introduces new weapons with which the demons attack, such as long streaming lasers and laser clusters. Starting in Wave 5, demons also divide into two smaller, bird-like creatures that eventually attempt descent onto the player's cannon. Starting in Wave 9, the demons' shots follow directly beneath the monsters, making it difficult for the player to slip underneath to get in a direct shot.
# Development.
The | 27,135 |
1055898 | Demon Attack | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Demon%20Attack | Demon Attack
game was originally programmed to end after the 84th wave, as Fulop did not expect anyone to get so far. Two days after initial release however, the game was reported beaten. After this initial run of cartridges, Fulop went back and changed a single line of code so that the game never ends, but gets no harder.
The Odyssey² version was the first third-party game for the console.
# Reception.
Jan Yarnot reviewed the Atari version of "Demon Attack" in "The Space Gamer" No. 53. Yarnot commented that "This game is interesting and enjoyable, and different enough from other cartridges to recommend it for all who must 'play Atari today.' The price is in line with other such programs and I think the | 27,136 |
1055898 | Demon Attack | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Demon%20Attack | Demon Attack
fun of the game makes the price reasonable."
"Video" magazine reviewed the VCS version of "Demon Attack" in 1982, describing it as "quite simply excellent", and characterizing it as a "true coin-op-level program". Covering the game again in its 1982 Guide to Electronic Games, "Video" editors called the cartridge "a state-of-the-art invasion game" and suggested that its "slick graphics" represented "a quantum leap for the VCS", however "Video" reserved higher praise for the Intellivision version of the game which was described as "even more thrilling graphically than the original VCS edition". "Video Games" praised the Intellivision version of the game, stating that "while the VCS version is | 27,137 |
1055898 | Demon Attack | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Demon%20Attack | Demon Attack
Games" praised the Intellivision version of the game, stating that "while the VCS version is a very good TV-game, this one is even better". "Ahoy!" called the VIC-20 version "excellent ... it's a super-grabber type of twitch game, and good for a few long nights".
"Demon Attack" won the 1983 Arcade Award for "Best Videogame of the Year", with the judges commenting that the game had "turned out to be yardstick against which gamers measured the quality of each new cartridge during 1982".

Heart-Shaped Box
"Heart-Shaped Box" is a song by American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain. The song was released as the first single from the group's third and final studio album, "In Utero", in 1993. It was one of two songs from the album mixed by Scott Litt in order to augment the original production by producer Steve Albini. While Nirvana's label DGC Records did not release a physical single for sale in the United States over fears that it might affect album sales, "Heart-Shaped Box" received much American radio airplay, reaching number one on the "Billboard" Modern Rock Tracks chart. The international release of the single made the Top 10 in several countries, | 27,139 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
including number four in Portugal, number five in the United Kingdom, number six in Ireland, number nine in Finland and number nine in New Zealand. It also made the Top 40 in numerous other countries. The song's music video, directed by Anton Corbijn, garnered critical plaudits, and won two awards, including Best Alternative Video at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1994. "Heart-Shaped Box" was the last song Kurt Cobain performed live in public with Nirvana, on March 1, 1994 in Munich, Germany.
# Origin and recording.
Kurt Cobain wrote "Heart-Shaped Box" in early 1992. Cobain forgot about the song for a while, but began working on it again when he and his wife, Courtney Love, moved to a house | 27,140 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
in the Hollywood Hills. In a 1994 "Rolling Stone" interview, Love said she overheard him working on the song's riff in a closet. She said she asked him if she could use the riff for one of her songs, to which he replied, "Fuck you!" and closed the closet door. "He was trying to be so sneaky", said Love. "I could hear that one from downstairs." The couple shared a journal in which they would write lyrics; Cobain biographer Charles R. Cross noted that Love's songwriting sensibility informed Cobain's on the song. The song's name came from a heart-shaped box Love had given Cobain. However, Cobain had originally titled the song "Heart-Shaped Coffin".
Nirvana had difficulty completing the song. Cobain | 27,141 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
attempted to have the rest of the band complete the song during jam sessions. He said, "During those practices, I was trying to wait for Krist and Dave to come up with something but it just turned into noise all the time." One day Cobain made one last attempt at completing the song. Cobain was able to come up with a vocal melody and the band finally finished writing the song. Cobain said that when they completed "Heart-Shaped Box", "We finally realized that it was a good song."
In January 1993, the band recorded a demo of "Heart-Shaped Box" during sessions with Craig Montgomery in the BMG Ariola studios in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; it was the first song recorded. The "In Utero" version was recorded | 27,142 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
in February 1993 by Steve Albini in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. Prior to the album's release, the track was remixed by Scott Litt. Cobain was unapologetic about the band's decision to remix it, and maintained that the vocals and bass were not prominent enough in the original mixes. Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic was also unhappy with the original mix of "Heart-Shaped Box". In a 1993 "Chicago Sun-Times" interview, he said the original effect used on the song's guitar solo sounded "like a fucking abortion hitting the floor." When the song was remixed by Litt, Cobain took the opportunity to add acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies.
# Composition and lyrics.
"Heart-Shaped Box" is an alternative rock | 27,143 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
song that lasts for a duration of four minutes and fifty-nine seconds. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by BMG Rights Management, it is written in the time signature of common time, with a moderate tempo of 100 beats per minute. "Heart-Shaped Box" is composed in the key of G# minor, while Kurt Cobain's vocal range spans one octave, from the low note of G# to the high note of G#. The song has a basic sequence of G#–E–C#–G#–E–C# in the verses and G#–E–C# during the chorus as its chord progression. Journalist Gillian Gaar described "Heart-Shaped Box" as "the Nirvana formula personified, with a restrained, descending riff played through the verse, building in intensity to | 27,144 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
the cascading passion of the chorus".
Cobain said the song was inspired by documentaries about children with cancer. He told biographer Michael Azerrad, "Anytime I think about it, it makes me sadder than anything I can think of." Azerrad asserted in his biography "" that despite Cobain's explanation, the song actually appeared to be about Courtney Love. Charles Cross wrote in his Kurt Cobain biography "Heavier Than Heaven" that with the lyric "I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black", the frontman "sang in what has to be the most convoluted route any songwriter undertook in pop history to say 'I love you'". After a performance of the song by singer Lana Del Rey in 2012, Courtney | 27,145 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
Love asserted on Twitter that the song is about her vagina. The tweets were deleted shortly after. Cobain said that the song's chorus of "Hey/Wait/I've got a new complaint" was him giving an example of how he was perceived by the media.
# Release.
In the United States, DGC issued "Heart-Shaped Box" to college, modern rock, and album-oriented rock radio stations in early September 1993. There were no plans to release a single for the song domestically. At the time, Geffen Records' head of marketing told "Billboard" that the label was not actively courting Top 40 radio, explaining "Nirvana didn't sell nearly 5 million [records] because of a hit single. They sold that many albums because of who | 27,146 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
they are." The song entered the "Billboard" Modern Rock Tracks chart at number seven, and eventually peaked at number one on the chart. The song also reached number four on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. A single of the song was released in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart. Issued in August 1993, the 7-inch vinyl and cassette formats featured "Marigold" as a B-side, while the 12-inch vinyl and CD editions added the "In Utero" track "Milk It". In 1999 the song was voted in at number 10 in Kerrang! magazine's "100 Greatest Rock Tracks Ever!".
# Music video.
Nirvana originally wanted Kevin Kerslake, who had directed the videos for the band's singles | 27,147 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
"Come as You Are", "Lithium", "In Bloom", and "Sliver", to direct the "Heart-Shaped Box" music video. Kerslake prepared five treatments during July and August 1993, but no shoot arrangements were made and by the end of the month, the group decided to work with Dutch photographer and video director Anton Corbijn. Corbijn, who typically created his own ideas for videos, was initially unsure of directing the video since Cobain's treatment was so detailed. Corbijn said, "But then I looked at it and I thought that actually it was pretty good. I was very amazed by somebody writing a song and having those ideas as precise as he did."
The video begins and ends with the band in a hospital setting watching | 27,148 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
an old man being administered medication through an IV drip. The majority of the video takes place in a surreal outdoor setting that incorporates imagery from the film "The Wizard of Oz". During the song's first verse, the old man from the hospital, now wearing a Santa hat and later a mitre, climbs onto a crow-ridden Christian cross. The second verse introduces a young girl in a white robe and peaked cap reaching for human fetuses in a tree, and an overweight woman in a suit with human organs painted onto it and with angel wings affixed to her back. In the video's final cut, the band is only shown performing in the outdoor setting during the choruses, where Cobain's face moves in and out of | 27,149 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
focus in the camera. While most of the video was devised by Cobain, Corbijn added elements such as the intentionally artificial crows, a ladder for the old man to climb onto the cross with, and a box with a heart at the top that the band performs inside of during the song's final chorus. Corbijn created another cut of the video featuring alternate footage during the final verse, including more shots of the young girl and the woman, and scenes of Cobain lying on his back in the poppy field, with mist surrounding him. This version of the video is featured on the DVD "".
After the video's release, Kevin Kerslake sued Nirvana, alleging copyright infringement. The case was settled out of court. | 27,150 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
The "Heart-Shaped Box" music video was the number one most played music video on MTV in the US as recorded by "Billboard magazine" on November 20, 1993. It was also number one on Canada's "MuchMusic Countdown" for two weeks in November, 1993. The video won two MTV Video Music Awards in 1994, for Best Alternative Video and for Best Art Direction. As the ceremony was held after Kurt Cobain's April 1994 death, the awards were accepted by Cobain's former bandmates Novoselic, Grohl, and touring guitarist Pat Smear. "Heart-Shaped Box" also topped the music video category in the 1993 "Village Voice" Pazz & Jop critics' poll. In 2011, "NME" ranked the song's music video at number 22 on its of the "100 | 27,151 |
1055855 | Heart-Shaped Box | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart-Shaped%20Box | Heart-Shaped Box
Greatest Music Videos". That same year, "Time" magazine ranked "Heart-Shaped Box" at number 10 on its list of "The 30 All-TIME Best Music Videos", where it was described as "beautiful and [...] terrible".
In February 2016, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl reunited with the actress, Kelsey Rohr, who played the girl in the "Heart-Shaped Box" music video twenty-three years earlier and who was then just six years old. Rohr stated that "Today reminded me that I peaked at 6 years old BUT I was the most badass kid on the playground. Today was the absolute coolest. Or in Dave's words seeing each other today was a 'historic moment'! What a legend!".

Réunion hotspot
The Réunion hotspot is a volcanic hotspot which currently lies under the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean. The Chagos-Laccadive Ridge and the southern part of the Mascarene Plateau are volcanic traces of the Réunion hotspot.
The hotspot is believed to have been active for over 65 million years. A huge eruption of this hotspot 65 million years ago is thought to have laid down the Deccan Traps, a vast bed of basalt lava that covers part of central India, and opened a rift which separated India from the Seychelles Plateau. The Deccan Traps eruption coincided roughly with the nearly antipodal Chicxulub impactor and the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction of the dinosaurs, and there | 27,156 |
1055908 | Réunion hotspot | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Réunion%20hotspot | Réunion hotspot
is considerable speculation that the three events were related. As the Indian plate drifted north, the hotspot continued to punch through the plate, creating a string of volcanic islands and undersea plateaux. The Laccadive Islands, the Maldives, and the Chagos Archipelago are atolls resting on former volcanoes created 60–45 million years ago that subsequently submerged below sea level. About 45 million years ago the mid-ocean rift crossed over the hotspot, and the hotspot passed under the African Plate.
The hotspot appears to have been relatively quiet 45–10 million years ago, when activity resumed, creating the Mascarene Islands, which include Mauritius, Réunion, and Rodrigues. Mauritius | 27,157 |

ocean rift crossed over the hotspot, and the hotspot passed under the African Plate.
The hotspot appears to have been relatively quiet 45–10 million years ago, when activity resumed, creating the Mascarene Islands, which include Mauritius, Réunion, and Rodrigues. Mauritius and Rodrigues Ridge were created 8–10 million years ago, and Rodrigues and Réunion Islands in the last two million years. Piton de la Fournaise, a shield volcano on the southeastern corner of Réunion, is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, erupting last in February 2019.

Florida Everblades
The Florida Everblades are a minor league ice hockey team based in Estero, Florida; near Fort Myers. They play in the ECHL and are affiliated with the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League (AHL) as of the 2019–20 season. Their home games are played at Hertz Arena.
The Everblades were founded in 1998. They play in the South Division of the Eastern Conference in the ECHL. They have only missed the playoffs once in team history (2013–14), and have made four appearances in the Kelly Cup finals, winning in 2012.
# History.
The team was founded in 1998 by Craig Brush, Peter Karmanos Jr., and Thomas Thewes | 27,159 |
1055904 | Florida Everblades | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Florida%20Everblades | Florida Everblades
and was named based on the Florida Everglades. The Everblades' logo features a gator-head design fused in the form of an ice skate. Barnstorm Creative Group, a Vancouver graphic design company, designed the logo. Barnstorm was contacted by Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos Jr., who came up with the idea of choosing the Everblades' colors as blue and green, in tribute to the Hartford Whalers team that Karmanos moved to Raleigh, North Carolina. The Everblades' inaugural home opener featured a pre-game ceremony in which a large alligator was brought onto the ice to pay tribute to the team's name and logo, as well as Florida's vast population of reptile species. The Everblades won their first | 27,160 |
1055904 | Florida Everblades | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Florida%20Everblades | Florida Everblades
Kelly Cup on May 23, 2012, against the Las Vegas Wranglers. Brandon MacLean scored the championship-winning-goal in overtime during game five. Everblades goaltender, John Muse, was named the most valuable player of the 2012 Kelly Cup playoffs.
## 2004 American Conference finals.
In game five of the 2004 American Conference finals, the Everblades faced the Reading Royals in the final game of an epic series. Florida won the first two games at home, but Reading evened the series at home, the next two of the best-of-five series. In game five, the score was tied at the end of regulation, 2–2, so the game was sent to overtime. John McNabb of the Everblades scored on a breakaway to defeat the Royals | 27,161 |
1055904 | Florida Everblades | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Florida%20Everblades | Florida Everblades
in front of a record crowd of 7,080 fans at Hertz Arena.
## 2005 playoff brawl.
One famous event that stands out among Blades' fans was during the 2005 ECHL playoffs. With the Everblades hosting the Greenville Grrrowl on April 22, 2005, for the first game of the American Conference semifinals, the teams engaged in a third-period line brawl that would see both teams combine for 197 minutes in penalties.
The brawl stemmed from previous incidents throughout the game. Prior to the brawl, Everblades forward Greg Hornby checked Greenville's Vladimir Gusev hard into the boards behind the net, causing Gusev to leave the game injured. As a result, the pace of the game, as well as checking, would pick | 27,162 |
1055904 | Florida Everblades | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Florida%20Everblades | Florida Everblades
up.
With the Blades up 4-1 with under six minutes to play in the third period, Greenville pest Krys Barch screened the net during a Greenville shooting attempt. Everblades defenceman Tim O'Connell checked Barch from behind numerous times, hoping to clear him from in front of the net. Barch, having been fed up with being pressured, turned around, attempting to sucker-punch O'Connell. Instead, O'Connell quickly skated away from the crease before Barch turned around. Barch ended up punching Everblades goalie Tyler MacKay. O'Connell then jumped on top of Barch, and all the players on the ice dropped the gloves for a wild line brawl that saw Florida goalie MacKay and others getting ejected for fighting.
After | 27,163 |
1055904 | Florida Everblades | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Florida%20Everblades | Florida Everblades
the mayhem, Craig Kowalski took MacKay's place as netminder. Shortly thereafter, the Everblades' Simon Tremblay fought Greenville's Adam Nightingale as the last fight of the evening. The Everblades went on to win the game, 4-1, and eventually to sweep the series, three games to none. Barch was assessed a one-game suspension for his role in the brawl.
Game two featured no fights and the Everblades won in overtime, 3-2.
## 2012 Kelly Cup finals.
Florida won the 2012 Kelly Cup playoffs with a 3-2 overtime victory at home in front of a standing-room-only crowd of 7,290. The first period saw Las Vegas Wranglers goalie Joe Fallon beaten by Justin Shugg and Mike Ratchuk, but Las Vegas edged back | 27,164 |
1055904 | Florida Everblades | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Florida%20Everblades | Florida Everblades
to even the score by the third, with Ash Goldie and Peter MacArthur beating John Muse to force the overtime. At 4:54 into the overtime, after Ryan Donald passed to Matt Beca, who in turn sent the puck to Brandon MacLean, who beat Fallon and secured the victory.
The win earned Florida the Kelly Cup, and secured a perfect home record of 11-0 in the postseason (two victories over Greenville and three each over Elmira, Kalamazoo, and Las Vegas). Additionally, John Muse earned the Kelly Cup finals MVP award.
In April 2013, owner Peter Karmanos, Jr. announced he would be selling the team along with Germain Arena to "simplify things" in his life, as he had just retired from the company he founded, | 27,165 |
1055904 | Florida Everblades | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Florida%20Everblades | Florida Everblades
Compuware. The team was made for sale and was being shopped by Park Lane, a sports investment-banking firm that specializes in the sale of sports teams. Since that time, no formal announcements have taken place on the progression of the sale. In 2018, Karmanos gave up majority control of the Hurricanes to new majority owner Thomas Dundon. After the 2018–19 season, the Everblades dropped the Hurricanes affiliation for the first time and partnered with the Nashville Predators.
# Logos.
Through the Everblades' history, they have had four anniversary logos: the fifth anniversary logo in 2002–03, the 10th anniversary logo in 2007–08, the 15th anniversary logo in 2012–13, and the 20th anniversary | 27,166 |
1055904 | Florida Everblades | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Florida%20Everblades | Florida Everblades
logo in the 2017–18 season.
# Players.
## Current roster.
Updated July 31, 2019.
## Retired numbers.
Berg and Buckley's numbers were retired during a pre-game ceremony on October 19, 2007, as the Everblades hosted the Mississippi Sea Wolves, in what would be the Sea Wolves' first official regular season game after being placed on a two-year hiatus due to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Banners made with their jersey numbers were hung to the rafters of Germain Arena.
Hartlieb's number was retired in a ceremony before a game against the Orlando Solar Bears on October 19, 2012. Hartlieb was presented with an ECHL Championship ring (he filled in on with the team in the 2011-12 regular | 27,167 |

Point Air
Point Air was a French airline company operating a Douglas DC-8-63 on a route from Marseille and Mulhouse/Basel to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
Point Air was famous for its low prices, before the age of low-cost airlines.
The airline started operations in 1980. Built on the remains of the French Antillan SATT, the Swiss-registered Point Air went into a politically enforced bankruptcy in 1988. | 27,176 |
1055920 | Silent Fall | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silent%20Fall | Silent Fall
Silent Fall
Silent Fall is a 1994 American psychological thriller film directed by Bruce Beresford and starring Richard Dreyfuss, Linda Hamilton, John Lithgow, J. T. Walsh, and Liv Tyler in her debut role. The plot focuses on a boy with autism who is the only witness to the savage double murder of his parents.
# Plot.
Tim Warden, a boy with autism, has supposedly witnessed his parents' double murder. Jake Rainer, a former child psychiatrist turned therapist, is called on to probe the child's mind in order to solve the case.
The psychological drama is provided by the fact that not even Jake can entice Tim to communicate what he has or has not seen regarding the crime. Tim's sister, Sylvie, | 27,177 |
1055920 | Silent Fall | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silent%20Fall | Silent Fall
is protective of him. She eventually warms to Jake's efforts, but is concerned when she learns he was implicated in the suicide of another young child who was under his care.
Jake gradually befriends Tim. At first, Jake thinks that Tim is trying to communicate by cutting up playing cards, but Sylvie reveals that Tim is good at mimicking voices. Jake is able to trigger Tim's memory so that Tim mimics the voices he heard on the night of the murder by using the trigger phrase "God Damn," which were the first words Tim heard from the murder. He attempts to piece together the chronology of the murder, suspecting that Tim interrupted a fight between his parents and an intruder.
Sheriff Mitch Rivers | 27,178 |
1055920 | Silent Fall | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silent%20Fall | Silent Fall
threatens to use drugs to get Tim to talk about the murder and Dr. Rene Harlinger successfully hypnotizes Tim into breaking down a locked door. The police chief, seeing this as proof of Tim's strength, concludes that Tim was the murderer, after finding photographs showing that Tim's father was molesting him.
That night, Sylvie plans to take Tim away and attempts to convince Jake to run away with them. She fails, and instead paralyzes Jake and throws him into an icy lake to drown him. Tim mimics the police chief's voice over the phone to lure Sylvie to the police station and pulls Jake out of the lake while she is away.
Sylvie returns and Jake reveals that he has solved the mystery by examining | 27,179 |
1055920 | Silent Fall | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silent%20Fall | Silent Fall
Tim's cut up playing cards. It was actually Sylvie who killed her parents because her father had raped her repeatedly and was trying to do the same to Tim, and her mother was aware of the abuse and stayed silent the entire time. Sylvie tries to kill Jake again, but is stopped by Tim who speaks with his own voice for the first time.
The film closes with Jake, his wife Karen, and Tim going out for trick-or-treating on Halloween. Tim has gradually improved and now can speak in his own voice as well as smile. Jake's conversation with his wife reveals that Sylvie will be moved to a hospital with minimum security in the near future.

National parks of Greece
Greece is characterized by an extremely fragmented, rugged landscape hosting a great diversity of ecosystems and an outstanding biodiversity. Almost 5% of its extensive coastline consists of ecologically sensitive wetlands. Two thirds of the total population live no further than 2 km from the coast and most of the important urban centers are coastal, while almost all of the tourist infrastructure is divided among islands and the coastal mainland.
# Greek climate.
Greece's climate is divided into three classes: A Mediterranean climate features mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Temperatures rarely reach extremes, although snowfalls do occur occasionally even in | 27,183 |
1055916 | National parks of Greece | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National%20parks%20of%20Greece | National parks of Greece
Athens, Cyclades or Crete during the winter. An alpine climate is found primarily in Western Greece (Epirus, Central Greece, Thessaly, Western Macedonia as well as central parts of the Peloponnese like Achaea, Arkadia and parts of Lakonia where the Alpine range pass by). A temperate climate is found in Central and Eastern Macedonia as well as in Thrace at places like Komotini, Xanthi and northern Evros; with cold, damp winters and hot, dry summers.
# History.
Such climatic and biological diversity, along with the rich flora and fauna that comes with it, made the need for the creation of national parks obvious as early as 1937, when the government of Ioannis Metaxas, first issued a law that | 27,184 |
1055916 | National parks of Greece | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National%20parks%20of%20Greece | National parks of Greece
established national parks in Greece. In 1938 the first national park in Greece was established, the Mount Olympus National Park, followed by the immediate creation of the Parnassos National Park.
The number of Greek national parks has grown ever since to a full number of ten:
# Layout.
Each national park consists of a core and the area surrounding it. According to Greek Law the core cannot be smaller than , with the exception of marine national parks. The surrounding area must be larger than, or at least equal to, the size of the core.
In the core of the national park, only scientific research, mild recreational activities, and the acquiring of environment related information are permitted. | 27,185 |

Completely multiplicative function
In number theory, functions of positive integers which respect products are important and are called completely multiplicative functions or totally multiplicative functions. A weaker condition is also important, respecting only products of coprime numbers, and such functions are called multiplicative functions. Outside of number theory, the term "multiplicative function" is often taken to be synonymous with "completely multiplicative function" as defined in this article.
# Definition.
A completely multiplicative function (or totally multiplicative function) is an arithmetic function (that is, a function whose domain is the natural numbers), such that "f"(1) | 27,187 |
1055940 | Completely multiplicative function | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Completely%20multiplicative%20function | Completely multiplicative function
= 1 and "f"("ab") = "f"("a")"f"("b") holds "for all" positive integers "a" and "b".
Without the requirement that "f"(1) = 1, one could still have "f"(1) = 0, but then "f"("a") = 0 for all positive integers "a", so this is not a very strong restriction.
The definition above can be rephrased using the language of algebra: A completely multiplicative function is a homomorphism from the monoid formula_1 (that is, the positive integers under multiplication) to some other monoid.
# Examples.
The easiest example of a completely multiplicative function is a monomial with leading coefficient 1: For any particular positive integer "n", define "f"("a") = "a". Then "f"("bc") = ("bc") = "b""c" = "f"("b")"f"("c"), | 27,188 |
1055940 | Completely multiplicative function | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Completely%20multiplicative%20function | Completely multiplicative function
and "f"(1) = 1 = 1.
The Liouville function is a non-trivial example of a completely multiplicative function as are Dirichlet characters, the Jacobi symbol and the Legendre symbol.
# Properties.
A completely multiplicative function is completely determined by its values at the prime numbers, a consequence of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. Thus, if "n" is a product of powers of distinct primes, say "n" = "p" "q" ..., then "f"("n") = "f"("p") "f"("q") ...
While the Dirichlet convolution of two multiplicative functions is multiplicative, the Dirichlet convolution of two completely multiplicative functions need not be completely multiplicative.
There are a variety of statements about | 27,189 |
1055940 | Completely multiplicative function | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Completely%20multiplicative%20function | Completely multiplicative function
a function which are equivalent to it being completely multiplicative. For example, if a function "f" is multiplicative then it is completely multiplicative if and only if its Dirichlet inverse is formula_2 where formula_3 is the Möbius function.
Completely multiplicative functions also satisfy a distributive law. If "f" is completely multiplicative then
formula_4
where "*" represents the Dirichlet product and formula_5 represents pointwise multiplication. One consequence of this is that for any completely multiplicative function "f" one has
formula_6
which can be deduced from the above by putting both formula_7, where formula_8 is the constant function.
Here formula_9 is the divisor function.

formula_6
which can be deduced from the above by putting both formula_7, where formula_8 is the constant function.
Here formula_9 is the divisor function.
## Dirichlet series.
The L-function of completely (or totally) multiplicative Dirichlet series formula_11 satisfies
which means that the sum all over the natural numbers is equal to the product all over the prime numbers.

1055948 | Buttermere, Wiltshire | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buttermere,%20Wiltshire | Buttermere, Wiltshire
Buttermere, Wiltshire
Buttermere is a small village and civil parish on the eastern boundary of Wiltshire, England, about south of Hungerford and southeast of Marlborough. The village stands above the steep escarpment of Ham Hill, and at above sea level it is the highest village in Wiltshire and probably the highest in Wessex.
The parish includes the hamlet of Henley, southwest of Buttermere village and next to the county border with Hampshire.
# History.
The manor of Buttermere was recorded in the 9th century, and from the 11th was held by St Swithun's priory, Winchester. Henley's land was probably added to the parish in the 11th century, when it was also held by St Swithun's. The parish | 27,192 |
1055948 | Buttermere, Wiltshire | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buttermere,%20Wiltshire | Buttermere, Wiltshire
was part of Savernake forest until 1330.
The population of the parish was steady at around 130 for the whole of the 19th century but declined in the 20th, reaching 39 in 1971.
A small school was built near the rectory in 1872, and closed in 1944 when there were only nine pupils.
# Parish church.
The Church of England parish church of St James is one of the smallest in Wiltshire. There was a church here in the 13th century, and a watercolour by John Buckler in 1806 shows a simple building with a wooden west turret. In 1855-6 the church was rebuilt on the same footprint, using salvaged materials, with a small central spire.

1055919 | Thale | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thale | Thale
Thale
Thale () is a town in the Harz district in Saxony-Anhalt in central Germany. Located at the steep northeastern rim of the Harz mountain range, it is known for the scenic Bode Gorge stretching above the town centre.
# Geography.
The town is situated on the river Bode, approximately west of Quedlinburg. Served by Transdev Sachsen-Anhalt trains, Thale Hauptbahnhof is the terminus of the Magdeburg–Thale railway line. The town has access to the Bundesstraße 6n highway.
# History.
The settlement of Thale probably emerged at the beginning of the 10th century. It was documented in 936 in connexion with the neighbouring Wendhusen Abbey, which had been founded around 825 AD as a chapter of canonesses | 27,197 |
1055919 | Thale | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thale | Thale
("Kanonissenstift"). Established by an Eastphalian comital family and based on the model of Herford Abbey, it was one of the first monasteries in the medieval Duchy of Saxony. After Queen Dowager Matilda, wife of the late King Henry the Fowler, tried in vain to relocate the convent in 936, it came under the guardianship of the newly established Quedlinburg chapter.
The adjacent village was first mentioned in a 1231 deed as "Dat Dorp to dem Dale" (from 1288 it was given the Latinised description "de valle", and from 1303 as "von Thale"). In the late Middle Ages, the estates were held by the Saxon Counts of Regenstein, vassals of the Halberstadt prince-bishops. The monastery premises were stormed | 27,198 |
1055919 | Thale | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thale | Thale
and devastated in 1525 during the German Peasants' War.
From 1445 the records show that there had been an ironworks in Thale. It was rebuilt from 1648 onwards after the devastations of the Thirty Years' War as the "Berghaus zum Wilden Mann", but was fully destroyed in 1670. After the secularised Halberstadt territories were incorporated by Brandenburg-Prussia, a small hammer mill was established in 1686 out of which a new ironworks later developed that benefited especially from its proximity to the ore deposits and the availability of wood. It lasted until 1714. In 1740 a business was opened again. For a short time this ironworks was owned by the Prussian king Frederick the Great.
