872306 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty%20Hemings | Betty Hemings | Elizabeth "Betty" Hemings''' (1735-1807) was a woman from Virginia. She was the mother of Sally Hemings and eleven other people. For part of her life, she was enslaved to Thomas Jefferson. Hers was the largest family to live at Monticello.
Family history and early life
According to Elizabeth Hemings' grandson, Madison Hemings, her mother was a fully African woman and might have been born in Africa. She was enslaved to the Eppes family in Virginia. Historians do not know for sure what her name was. Papers with the names of enslaved women in the Eppes family include "Dinah," "Judy," "Abbie," "Sarah," "Parthenia," and others. Historian Annette Gordon-Reed said that there were many girls named "Thenia" in the Hemings family, and they might have been named after Parthenia, also spelled Parthena. But she also says that "Sally" is a nickname for "Sarah," and there were many girls named "Sarah" and "Sally" in the Hemings family too. So Elizabeth Hamings' mother's white name was probably Parthenia or Sarah.
Madison Hemings told the story: Elizabeth Hemings' mother was an African woman and her father was an English sea captain named Hemings. The sea captain tried to buy Elizabeth Hemings from her owner when she was born. Even though he offered the owner a lot of money, the owner still said no. He said he wanted to see what a half-white, half-African child would look like. Then Captain Hemings tried to take the child away from the owner without paying, but someone told the owner about his plan. Captain Hemings left Virginia and did not come back.
Captain Hemings tried to take his daughter from one of the men in the Eppes family, but historians do not know which one because they do not know when Elizabeth Hemings was born. One paper says "about 1735."
Elizabeth Hemings lived at the Eppes family's house, which was called Bermuda Hundred until 1746. That year, Martha Eppes married John Wayles. Elizabeth and other enslaved people went with Martha to Wayle's house as part of her marriage settlement. A marriage settlement was any property that a married woman could control and her husband couldn't. Technically, the Eppes family owned Elizabeth Hemings.
Elizabeth Hemings lived as a house servant. That means she did not grow tobacco or cotton in the fields like other enslaved people in Virginia did. Historians think that Elizabeth Hemings' job with the Wayles family was to help raise Martha Wayles, later Martha Wayles Skelton-Jefferson. After Johyn Wayles' wife died, he made Elizabeth Hemings his concubine, which means they had a sexual relationship but he did not free her or marry her. Historians do not know how Elizabeth Hemings felt about this.
When Martha Wayles Skelton married Thomas Jefferson, Hemings and many people in her family went with Martha Skelton to Jefferson's house at Monticello. Historians think Elizabeth Hemings took care of Martha Wayles Skelton-Jefferson when she became sick and that she was there when she died.
Later life
In the last years of her life, Elizabeth Hemings moved to a small house partway down the mountain, away from the main house of Monticello and from her children and grandchildren. She lived next to free working families. She raised vegetables and chickens. Later, archaeologists would find that she owned many pieces of good porcelain China.
Elizabeth Hemings died at the age of 72. According to Madison Hemings, he was three years old, and he tried to give her some bread to eat. Elizabeth Hemings' last words to him were, "Granny don't want bread no more."
Children
John Wayles was the father of six of Elizabeth Hemings' children. After moving to Monticello, Elizabeth Hemings also had at least one child with Joseph Neilson, a white carpenter who worked for Thomas Jefferson.
Children with an unknown partner, probably a black man:
Mary Hemings Bell (1753-after 1834)
Martin Hemings (1755-after 1795)
Betty Brown (1759-post 1831)
Nancy Hemings (1761-after 1827)
Children with John Wayles:
Robert Hemings (1762-1819)
James Hemings (1765-1801)
Thenia Hemings (1767-1795)
Critta Hemings (1769-1850)
Peter Hemings (1770-after 1834)
Sally Hemings (1773-1835)
Children with Joseph Neilson, known:
John Hemings (1776-1833)
Children with Joseph Neilson, possible:
Lucy Hemings (1777-1786)

It is the first volcanic eruption on the island since the eruption of Teneguía in 1971. At 85 days, it is the longest known eruption of a volcano on La Palma.
The eruption began at 16:12 UTC on 19 September 2021 in a forested area called Cabeza de Vaca.
An earthquake swarm started on 11 September, which led to the volcanic eruption on 19 September.
Around 300 people from the local area were evacuated shortly after the eruption.
The eruption led to the evacuation of more than 8,000 people, and the lava has destroyed more than 3,000 buildings.
It is the most damaging volcanic eruption on La Palma since records began.
Initially, when the eruption started, it had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 0, when it was a purely lava eruption. But with the ashfall that began a week later, the Volcanic Explosivity Index of the eruption rose to 2.
On 28 September, at around 23:02 UTC, the lava flow reached the sea at the Perdido Beach.
On 20 November, the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) was upgraded from VEI 2 to VEI 3, when the ashfall reached 10 million m³.
On 12 December, the volcanic eruption broke the local record, when it reached 85 days of continuous activity. The eruption is the longest known eruption of a volcano on La Palma. Previously, the eruption of the Tajuya volcano in 1585 was the longest at 84 days. No reliable data is available about earlier volcanic eruptions, before Spanish colonization of La Palma in the 15th century.
On 13 December, the volcanic eruption stopped. Noting weak seismicity and zero tremor, scientists say that a resumption of the eruption is highly unlikely, giving locals hope that it is over.
On 25 December 2021, after 12 days with no activity from the volcano, the eruption was officially declared to have ended.

The series focuses on six elementary school students and their interaction with other classmates and teachers. The title refers to the recess period during the daily schedule, in the North American tradition of educational schooling, when students are not in lessons and are outside in the schoolyard. During recess, the children form their own society, complete with government and a class structure, set against the backdrop of a regular school.
Plot
Recess portrays the lives of six fourth graders—cheeky and popular lovable rogue Theodore Jasper "T.J." Detweiler (Ross Malinger, Andrew Lawrence), Jock Vince LaSalle (Rickey D'Shon Collins), tomboy Ashley Spinelli (Pamela Adlon), wise fool Mikey Blumberg (Jason Davis), geek Gretchen Grundler (Ashley Johnson), and awkward new kid Gus Griswald (Courtland Mead)—as they go about their daily lives in a school environment at Third Street Elementary School located in Little Rock, Arkansas.[4][5] A major satirical point of the show is that the community of students at school is a microcosm of traditional human society complete with its own government, class system, and set of unwritten laws. They are ruled by a monarch, a sixth grader named King Bob, who has various enforcers to make sure his decrees are carried out. The society has a long list of rigid values and social norms that imposes a high expectation of conformity upon all the students.

872344 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millard%20Sheets | Millard Sheets | Millard Owen Sheets (June 24, 1907 – March 31, 1989) was an American artist, teacher, and architectural designer. He was one of the earliest of the California Scene Painting artists and helped define the art movement. Many of his large-scale building-mounted mosaics from the mid-20th century are still extant in Southern California. His paintings are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum in New York, the Chicago Art Institute, the National Gallery in Washington D.C.; and the Los Angeles County Museum.
Early life and education
Millard Sheets was born June 24, 1907, and grew up in the Pomona Valley, east of Los Angeles. He is the son of John Gosper Sheets and (1878 – 1947) and Marilla Mae Owen (1883 – 1907). He attended the Chouinard Art Institute and studied with painters Frank Tolles Chamberlin and Clarence Hinkle. While he was still a teenager, his watercolors were accepted for exhibition in the annual California Water Color Society show. By the age of 19, he was elected into membership of the California Water Color Society. The following year he was hired to teach watercolor painting even before his graduation from Chouinard.
Career
In 1929 he won second prize in the Texas Wildflowers Competitive Exhibitions, and the generous award allowed Sheets to travel to Europe for a year to further his art education. By the early 1930s he began to achieve national recognition as a prominent American artist. He was exhibiting in Paris, New York City, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Houston, St. Louis, San Antonio, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and many other cities throughout the United States. In Los Angeles he was recognized as the leading figure and driving force behind the California Style watercolor movement.
Between 1935 and 1941, his recognition, awards, and output increased, winning him repeated mention in Art Digest and a color reproduction of his work in the book Eyes on America. In 1935 at age 28, he was the subject of a monograph published in Los Angeles. His art sales enabled him to travel again to Europe, Central America, and Hawaii, where he painted on location. Although his watercolor techniques during this period ranged from very tight to very loose, a consistent, he nevertheless exhibited a personal style.
During World War II, he was an artist-correspondent for Life Magazine and the United States Army Air Forces in India and Burma. Many of his works from this period document the scenes of famine, war, and death that he witnessed. His wartime experience also informed his post-war art for a number of years, where while painting in California and Mexico in the 1940s his work followed dark hues and depressing subjects. After the 1950s his style shifted toward brighter colors and subjects from his worldwide travels.
Watercolor and oil painting were only part of Sheets's art career. Through his teaching at Chouinard Art Institute, Otis Art Institute, Scripps College and other institutions, hundreds of artists learned how to paint, and were then guided into art careers. He directed the art exhibition at the Los Angeles County Fair for many years and brought world-class work to Southern California. During the Great Depression, he joined forces with Edward Bruce to hire artists for the Public Works of Art Project, the first New Deal art project. In 1946, he served as a president of the California Water Color Society. In later years, he worked as an architect, illustrator, muralist, printmaker, and art exhibition juror.
Outside of California, he took on commissions for the Detroit Public Library, the Mayo Clinic, the dome of the National Shrine, the University of Notre Dame library, the Hilton Hotel in Honolulu, and the Mercantile National Bank in Dallas.
In 1953, Sheets was appointed director of Otis Art Institute (later named Otis College of Art and Design). Under his leadership, the school's academic program was restructured to offer BFA and MFA degrees, and a ceramics department was created, headed by Peter Voulkos. During that time, a ceramics building, gallery, library, and studio wing were completed. By the time Sheets left Otis in 1962, the form and direction of the college had changed dramatically.
Millard Sheets Art Center
The Millard Sheets Art Center first began as the Fine Arts Program of the Los Angeles County Fair in 1922. The 20,000+ square-foot art center was built in 1937 by the Works Progress Administration to house the program, the first major gallery dedicated solely to art in Los Angeles County. Each year, the gallery provided visitors to the Los Angeles County Fair with access to art work found throughout the world. In 1994 the building was dedicated to Millard Sheets and in 2013 was identified by Fairplex as the home for year-round art education and exhibitions and is currently a part of The Learning Centers at Fairplex.
Work
Mosaic murals at Home Savings Bank branches
In the late 1950s, Sheets was commissioned by Howard F. Ahmanson to design Home Savings Bank branches throughout Southern California that would serve as community landmarks by expressing "community values" or presenting "a celebratory version of the community history." To accomplish this goal, Sheets designed his branch buildings with exterior façades containing large mosaic works depicting local heritage.
The Ahmanson commissions multiplied to include more than 80 branch buildings after the initial 1955 commission. Sheets resigned his teaching position at Scripps College and established the Sheets Studio in Claremont, California, employing a series of artists.
Sheets produced these mosaics as commercial commissions, and he rarely titled them. Nevertheless, they are now considered official public art and are titled by their images or theme. Although they enjoy some protections under the California Arts Preservation Act, many have been destroyed. The following Sheets Studio mosaics in Southern California have survived deterioration and demolition:
(1962) Early Pomona Family, Pomona, California, United States
(1968, 1982) Indians and Yuccas, Claremont, California, United States
(1971/2013) Mi Casa Es Su Casa, Beverly Hills, California, United States
(1979) Scenes of the Old West, Buena Park, California, United States
(1980) Redlands Heritage, Redlands, California, United States
Death
Sheets died on March 31, 1989 at his home in Anchor Bay in Mendocino County, California after a long illness. A service was held at his home and at the First unitarian Church of San Diego.

His watercolor works and oil paintings are in private and college museum collections.
Early life
Reid became interested in painting at the age of 14 when his parents encouraged him by letting him use a room in the family home for his art. His father gave him illustrated history books and books about Charles Marion Russell and Frederic Remington, both known for their paintings of the American Old West. Reid's father enrolled him in a correspondence course at the Famous Artists School, when he was 16 years old. Reid also attended South Kent School and the University of Vermont (1955-1957).
Disillusioned while at the University of Vermont he enrolled in the Art Students League of New York, while in Manhattan from 1957 to 1959. He met Frank J. Reilly there, who became his teacher.

Influences
Charles Reid was a pupil of Frank Reilly who was tutored by professor of drawing George Bridgman and by Franck-Vincent DuMond, both of whom were influenced and connected to the French academic style of the late 19th century. Reilly passed on these influences to Reid. Both Bridgman and DuMond had studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris and at the Académie Julian.
Reid received teachings based on the contributions of the great pictorial movements and his art is influenced by French impressionists like Edouard Manet, whose simplification of forms he appreciated. As Amanda Apostol said he also refers to the Nabis and particularly Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, and Toulouse Lautrec, who Reid also counts among his favorite painters. He took from them the use of pure colors for half and midtones values, and the absence of a center of interest.
Reid was also influenced by American post-impressionists such as John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer and the more contemporary Fairfield Porter, Andrew Wyeth and Joan Mitchell.
Training
While on his honeymoon in Madeira, he met George Jacobs (1926-2002) who colored pen and ink drawings with watercolor. George Jacob's method of painting with watercolor relies heavily on pen lines. In this early period they took daily van trips, painting street scenes and landscapes with Reid first copying Jacobs' style.
When Reid came back to the US in 1964, at twenty-seven he took a job teaching at the Famous Artists School becoming the youngest instructor employed there. At the time, there had been no watercolor instruction. At the end of 4 years, he was asked to set up a figure class in watercolor with no experience other than the month with George Jacobs. His supervisor, Frank Jones, gave him a brief demonstration of a tugboat, highlighting the wet-in-wet technique, and in how to deal with his edges to improve his watercolor technique. That was enough to help create this weekly figure class.
He taught for 10 years at the correspondence school, and he spent each day at the easel. This work served as the basis for his first book Figure Painting in Watercolor. Its publication in 1973 put him in the forefront of people's mind as a watercolorist.
Charles Reid found inspiration in the fashion illustrations of Dorothy Hood, which he admired for her direct and simple style.
In the late 70's and 80's he traveled a great deal and spent time in airports where he developed his contour drawing skill by drawing fellow passengers waiting for flights.
Technique
His work was simple and direct. For portraits he used contour drawings to connect the figure to the background. As a pupil of F. Reilly he focused his works on drawing and usage of perfecting tonal value in his painting.
In the book by JM Parramon, "Creative Watercolor", the author set out the technical elements that establish the singularity of Charles Reid's style. The contour-drawing and his way of applying the color. According to Parramon his paintings show how he "associates the precision of the form to the ease of the line and the color".
His watercolor technique was unconventional. He painted from mid-darks to lights rather than starting light and going dark. He used alla-prima approach, and didn't glaze, which is the traditional way to paint watercolor. He only glazed sometimes for the features of the figures.
Charles Reid perceived still life in an abstract way, seeing large splot of light and dark. Then he put paint as a diagram of colors in order to establish the color combination of his painting.
He painted directly onto paper, with the intention of getting the right value and color on the first try. This contributes to the sense of spontaneity and freshness to his work. Although not necessarily happy with mistakes, he considered them to be essential in retaining a sense of freshness, suggesting things are "alive".
Contrary to what his style suggests, he worked in a meticulous manner avoiding overworking, each brushstroke counts, and he deals with edges. He considers painting a "happening", like jazz. To American Artist he said, "The more you know the more you can improvise". He starts each painting like a new experience, pretending he does not know how to paint.
He looked at his watercolors more as poems that are completed after an hour or two, whereas his oils were like novels that required a more detailed depiction of the scene. Reid was a studio painter and a plein-air painter, but he tended to prefer the warmth of the south light, thinking it worked well for him.
Collaborations
On March 18, 1972, Reid was the first to design an 8 cent US Postal Service stamp that highlighted Family Planning, issued in New York City. It's a vertical stamp showing a family group (husband, wife, daughter and son) walking forward. His inspiration for the painting came from a family photograph.
He painted the illustration for the L.L. Bean Maine Hunting Boot, which has been widely used in advertising in their catalogs, on truck sides and on large cubes throughout stores. The painting also appears on the cover of The Making of an American Icon by Leon Gorman about his experience as the grandson of the founder of L.L. Bean.
He illustrated a limited edition of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes Of Wrath" published in 1978 by Franklin Library.
Further collaborations appeared in American Heritage, Harper's, Sports Afield, Reader's Digest Books and the Franklin Press.
Teaching
As a teacher, Reid hosted fifteen to twenty workshops a year over thirty-five to forty years. He wrote twelve books, eleven of which are about watercolor. He made nine instructional DVDs:
Figurative Watercolour
English Watercolour Sketchbook
Painting Flowers in Watercolor
Watercolor Secrets
Flowers in Watercolor
10 Lessons Course
Watercolor Solutions
Watercolor Landscape Masterclass
The Figure in Watercolor
He judged in numerous painting exhibitions as well.

It is around 13 kilometres southeast of Sydney CBD in the Local Government Area Randwick City near Malabar . With an area of 18 hectares, it is the smallest national park in the state.
Malabar Headland is a headland and has a size of 1.77 km².
Use of the headland
The area of the headland has been mainly used for agriculture since the European settlement. Later, the Europeans built residential and military buildings and also practiced shooting and equestrian sports on the site. During World War II, Malabar Headland was fortified for military defence purposes. The historic facilities are now a listed building. There is also a large target practice area on the peninsula called the ANZAC Rifle Range, which is still in use today.
Flora and fauna
On the headland, one of the few areas in the south of Sydney with its original landscape, with a vegetation of different species in the form of Banksia bushes, has largely been preserved. There are also small heathlands and other plants that grow on the sandstone cliffs.
In National Park and on the peninsula a subspecies was a bat (Miniopterus schreibersii oceanensis) demonstrated further grey head flying foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus) pezoporus (Pezoporus wallicus wallicus), sooty oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus) and the high-risk Gold Rosella (Neophema chrysogaster ).
Miscellaneous
Hiking trails lead through the national park. The Hawkesbury sandstone cliffs drop vertically into the sea for spectacular views.
The national park is administered by the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council .

From the late 1920s to the mid-1940s, they were internationally famous for their slapstick comedy, with Laurel playing the clumsy, childlike friend to Hardy's pompous bully. Their signature theme song, known as "The Cuckoo Song", "Ku-Ku", or "The Dance of the Cuckoos" (by Hollywood composer T. Marvin Hatley) was heard over their films' opening credits, and became as emblematic of them as their bowler hats.

872383 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve%20Urkel | Steve Urkel | Steve Urkel is a fictional character. He appeared on the ABC/CBS sitcom Family Matters. Actor Jaleel White played him until the show ended in 1997.
Steve Urkel was a breakout character. That means the original idea was that he would be in only one episode. But the viewers liked him so much that he became most popular character on the show. He gradually became its main character.
Urkel's annoying manners and silliness cause strange events that move the story forward. The other characters, the Winslow family, consider him a nuisance, though they come to accept him over time. Carl Winslow often yells. "Go home, Steve!" Steve answers, "I don't have to take this. I'm going home."
Steve Urkel wears big red glasses. He has a high-pitched voice and snorts when he laughs. He wears his pants too high up on his waist. He is in love with the oldest Winslow daughter, Laura. Laura often tells him that she does not like him, but he does not listen. Many of the episodes of Family Matters are about Urkel trying to convince Laura to be his girlfriend.
He is also one of the smartest students in the school that he goes to with Eddie and Laura Winslow. He can make inventions that are almost magical.

872391 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney%20Harbour%20National%20Park | Sydney Harbour National Park | The Sydney Harbour National Park is a national park in the Australian state of New South Wales. The protection of the park was announced in 1975. Between 1978 to 1984, the area of the park was enlarged several times.
Geography
The national park is in the middle of metropolitan Sydney with an area of about 3.93 km². This area is spread over various areas around Sydney Harbor and several islands, such as B. Bradleys Head, Middle and Georges Heads, North Head, South Head and Harbour Island.
Vegetation
About 40 % of the area is taken up by heather areas, which are partially overgrown by natural tree vegetation. About 25 % of the area - especially in protected locations with deep soils - can be described as woodland. Another 15% eucalyptus forests grow.
Wildlife
In the national park there are mainly nocturnal mammals, including gray-headed flying foxes, large long-nosed bucks, Stuart broad-footed pouches, the golden-bellied swimming rat, cusus, ringbucks, echins and bats.
Around 150 bird species have been observed in the national park so far, 44 also breed here, including the Cormorant, masked lapwing, white-bellied sea eagle and gray-headed falcon . There is also a breeding colony of the little penguins here.
History
Long before Australia became a British colony, the area around Sydney Harbor was inhabited by the Aboriginal groups of the Eora, Guringai and Dharug . That changed soon after the arrival of the first European settlers and prisoners. In order to make way for the development of the colony, the Aborigines were pushed further and further from their traditional settlement and hunting areas. Many died of previously unknown diseases such as smallpox or were even killed. Around the middle of the 19th By the mid-19th century, the Aborigines were almost displaced from the Sydney area.

872393 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrington%20Tops%20National%20Park | Barrington Tops National Park | Barrington Tops National Park is a 745 km² large national park in the Australian state of New South Wales, about 270 km north of Sydney.
Barrington Tops is part of the Mount Royal Range, a spur of the Great Dividing Range. Barrington Tops is a plateau between two of the large peaks in the range. The park is believed to be an extinct volcano and the mountain ranges are made up of a mixture of sedimentary rocks with a granite top. Erosion has weathered the granite and rounded granite boulders can be seen in some areas of the park. Estimates put the age of the rock at 300 to 400 million years, well before Australia separated from Gondwana. It also forms the watershed between the Hunter and Manning Rivers. Barrington Tops sits on top of a volcano and reaches an altitude of 1586m.
At 3 December 1969 the region between Mount Barrington, Mount Royal and the Gloucester Tops was declared a national park. Since 1982 the park has been listed as part of the Gondwana rainforests of Australia as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; as such, it is the southernmost of the affiliated national parks.
History
The Barrington Tops area was home to various Aboriginal countries, namely the Worimi and Biripi in the east and the Wonnarua in the west.
From around 1820, European settlers began to settle in the region, using the areas to cut logs and as grazing land for cattle. Gold was also searched here.
In the early 20th In the 19th century, tourism became popular through horse riding, hunting and fishing. The Barrington Club, founded in 1948, campaigned for nature conservation. In 1959 the first areas were placed under protection.
Ecosystems
The park includes ecosystems of tropical rainforest in the protected valleys and gorges at heights between 400 and 600 m. At altitudes of 700 to 1400 m there is cool temperate rainforest, where Nothofagus moorei predominates. This is followed by an alpine zone with alpine woodland and subalpine peat bogs in the summit regions.
Eucalyptus forests with various species predominate across all heights: Sydney and Messmate eucalyptus dominate the valleys and on the slopes, and the southern beech also dominates the higher areas. On the other hand, the cold-resistant snow eucalyptus predominates on the plateau.
Thanks to the remote, inaccessible location of the park, a diverse fauna including some species that have already been considered extinct has been preserved. A butterfly, three spider species, three worm species and the crustacean Crenoicus harrisoni are endemic to the park.
Eastern gray kangaroos, red-necked wallabies, red-necked filanders and bare-nosed wombats also occur. Nocturnal mammals are also present. Echidna and platypus also find their habitat here. The koala is difficult to observe, the Australian mouse Pseudomys oralis is a critically endangered species. The Australian wide-toothed rat occurs only in a few places in Australia.
Birds include lyre-tails, cockatoos, flat-tailed parakeets, kookaburras, strangler crows and grouse. The black cockatoo is rarely seen. The most common reptiles encounted here are the black otter, tiger otter, copper-headed snake and brown snake.

872397 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgundian%20language | Burgundian language | The Burgundian language is an Oïl language spoken in Burgundy and particularly in the Morvan area of the region.
Name
It is also known by French names Bourguignon-morvandiau, Bourguignon, and Morvandiau,
Influences
Burgundian has being in contact with Germanic languages in several occasions:
When the Burgundians arrived to the area.
When the Low Countries were occupied by the Dukes of Burgundy. In this case, Burgundian entered in contact with Dutch.
The Arpitan language has influenced dialects of the south along the Saône river, such as Brionnais-Charolais.
Literature
Very little literature from before the 19th century has survived. In 1854 the Papal Bull Ineffabilis Deus was translated into two Burgundian dialects:
the Abbé Jacques-François Baudiau translated it to the Morvan dialect,
the Abbé Lereuil translated it into the Dijon dialect.
By the end of the 19th century, some writers created an original literature:
Achille Millien (1838–1927) collected songs from the oral tradition in the Nivernais.
Louis de Courmont was a chansonnier. After working in Paris, he returned to his native region.
Emile Blin wrote some stories for tourists. A colleciton of them was published in 1933 under the title Le Patois de Chez Nous.
Alfred Guillaume published in 1923 a book in Burgundian, L'âme du Morvan.
Marinette Janvier published Ma grelotterie (1974) and Autour d'un teugnon (1989).

872420 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathcote%20National%20Park | Heathcote National Park | Heathcote National Park is a national park in east New South Wales, and about 34 km southwest of Sydney. The park is west of the Royal National Park near the suburbs of Heathcote and Waterfall.
Description
The park is 22.5 km² eucalyptus forest. Private vehicles may not enter. Walkers go in through the entrance on Freeman Road in Heathcote. A trail begins behind the Boy Scout Hall on Freeman Road. It goes south past water holes and small waterfalls. The path ends at the Woronora Dam, although there are several other entrances to the park around Heathcote and Waterfall.
History
Before the forest area became a park, a group of hikers had leased most of the area. Presumably they created some of the early hiking trails and campsites. The area later became a state park and again later a national park.
Aboriginals lived in the area and left traces in various places. In addition, a number of European settlers lived during the Great Depression in the 1930s in simple huts, leaving only scant ruins in places like Myuna Creek back
Geography
The park consists of the deeply furrowed Hawkesbury sandstone plateau, part of the '' Woronora Plateau ''. Heathcote Creek, a tributary of the Woronora River, is found in a gorge. The sandstone is about 200 million Years old and has been around for around 94 million Years ago. After each period of land uplift, the watercourses dug into the sandstone. Heathcote Creek tumbles down some waterfalls to the Woronora River on the north edge of the park.
Flora
The hills and arid slopes are covered with forests dominated by angophora and eucalyptus. Grass trees are common. The undergrowth consists of bushes such as banksia, hakea and wax flowers. Doryanthes excelsa and Allocasuarina torulosa grow on more humid slopes. Eucalyptus patens and Grevillings grow in the valley of Heathcote Creek.
Fauna
Short-headed glide pouches, common ring pouches and probably also eastern pygmy possums live on Mirang Creek and in Minda Gully. There are also swamp wallabies. Often you can also see honey-eaters and gray-backed lyre tails.

872423 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werakata%20National%20Park | Werakata National Park | Werakata National Park is a national park in the east of the Australian state of New South Wales, 115 km north of Sydney, in the Hunter River region The park is divided into three parts, which are to the northeast, east and southeast of the city of Cessnock.
South of the park is the separate Werakata State Conservation Area.
History
Werakata National Park was opened on 26. February 1999 from a 1130 acres of Cessnock State Forest (State Forest No. 874) formed. On the 1st January 2003 came another 478 acres from the state forest, as well as the Aberdare State Forest (State Forest No. 981) with 531 hectares.
The Werakata State Conservation Area with 2257 hectare area was created in 2007.
The Hunter River area was inhabited by the Aboriginal countries of Awabakal, Worimi, Wonnarua, Geawegal, Birripai and Darkinjung, but little is known about their use of the land near what is now the national park after European settlement in the 19th century. In the 19th century, forestry was practiced and sawmills were built in and near today's park. Most of the wood was used to expand the mines in the area. In 1942, the Cessnock State Forest was established as a sanctuary, followed by the Aberdare State Forest in 1963. The logging continued until it was rededicated in the national park.
Flora and fauna
Before the establishment of the national park, it was found that the predominant eucalyptus species "Spotted Gum" (Corymbia maculata) was still underrepresented in the system of protected areas.
Various endangered animal species can also be found in the park.

872456 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condemned%20property | Condemned property | A condemned property (also called a condemned building) is any house, commercial property, business, apartment, townhouse, educational place (school, college) jail/prison, law enforcement or government property that is marked as unfit or not suitable for being occupied, being used or operated. A large number of properties are also condemned for being unsafe, illegal or fire-damaged. Most are dilapidated (badly damaged), deteriorated (run down, decayed), are infested by vermin/rodents or loaded with filthy conditions (excrement, spoiled food/drinks or dirt/mud across several parts of any place that is occupied). Tropical cyclone, flood, lightning or tornado damage often also leads to the condemnation of properties.
Other conditions for which a building may be condemned involve places being boarded, having utilities disconnected or having dangerous materials, methamphetamine making labs or any dangerous locations.
Utilities are hot water, good-to-excellent heating systems working, good-to-excellent plumbing and having a safe reliable electrical outlet. Some places are condemned for vehicles parked in a yard, vehicles that are classified as not operable, having dangerous conditions.
Condemned warnings or notices (also called as placards) are usually posted onto the properties in question. They forbid when people occupy, enter or use these buildings when not authorized for doing so. Anyone other than code officials, the property inspectors or area health department officials entering, occupying or using any condemned premises, defacing or removing condemned notices/warnings are subject to fines, jail time or both. Notices of violation are often posted with the condemned notices and warnings.
New York City, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago, Quad Cities (most likely Rock Island, Moline and Davenport), Baltimore, Detroit and Los Angeles have higher numbers of condemned, abandoned and vacant homes, buildings or schools unlike several other mid-size/small and some large cities or towns in Canada and the United States.
Condemned properties are usually renovated. Many other condemned buildings or homes, however, are demolished due to their conditions.

872574 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juanito%20Jones | Juanito Jones | Juanito Jones is a Spanish animated series for children with 52 episodes of 13 minutes each, created by Rose Capdevila, Gusti and Ricardo Alcantara. It was produced by Cromosoma e Televisió de Catalunya and originally broadcasted by the Spanish network Antena 3 between 2001 and 2002.
It was later shown in other regions of the world, having been acquired by channels such as Nickelodeon Latin America , Noga (Israel), TF1 (Italy), Televisa (Mexico) and Disney Channel in France, Italy and Spain in 2001. In Portugal debuted on RTP in 2002. In Brazil it was shown by Nickelodeon and debuted on Canal Futura on July 2, 2007.
Story
This drawing explains the adventures of Juanito Jones, a boy who confronts dangerous situations but always manages to escape easily. This is because these adventures are part of his imagination. He uses imagination as a solution to real-life problems. Juanito is always accompanied by his teddy bear, Sombra, who comes to life in his imaginary world. In real life, Juanito is always with his family.
Characters
Juanito Jones - A boy full of imagination who lives imagining adventures resembling his life.
Shadow - A teddy bear that accompanies Juanito in all his adventures, besides being scared. He also loves anything that's made from lemons . In real life Sombra has no life, only in Juanito's imaginations he does.
Jones family
Vanessa - Juanito's younger sister. She is stubborn and loves to get her brother in trouble, but deep down she likes him. It has a counterpart in Planeta Laranja that accompanies Juanito and Sombra on their adventures.
Carmela - Juanito's mother who is occasionally irritated with the things he does, but later apologizes. At the end of the series she becomes pregnant.
Tom - He's Juanito's father. He is calm and works in a store in town and is always carefree.
Vovô - Juanito's grandfather whose real name is Antônio. He is a gardener and always helps his grandson with problems, giving him good advice.
other children
Pedro - Juanito's neighbor and best friend. A scared, toothy boy who always talks to Juanito and loves to eat cheese. He has an older sister who works in a circus and rarely shows up at home. At the end of the series, he starts dating Úrsula. It has a counterpart in King Maldade's castle being redheaded and having been bewitched by the Witch Much Scream to not be able to leave the castle and still turn into a rat every time he is scared.
Frank - He's Juanito's rival. A huge, tough boy who has been picking on Juanito since they were little at school and is always accompanied by Paul. He's not very smart and always ends up doing poorly. It features a thug counterpart in the old west named Joe .
Paul - He is always walking with Frank. He has a black right eye. He always has good ideas, but Frank always makes Paul think that good ideas are not his. Like Frank he also has a counterpart in the wild west who is Joe's henchman.
Miranda - Juanito's girlfriend. Juanito met her at camp, since at first Juanito and Frank had fought with each other to see who would take her. Later, he starts to meet Juanito in his city with his friends. She has an Indian counterpart in the old west called Arco-Íris who like Miranda is also in love with Juanito, and also has another one in King Maldade's castle, exactly like her, having the same name but being the daughter of a baker.
Úrsula - A big girl next door to Juanito. He meets Juanito after he returns from camp on vacation when she moves to his neighborhood and instantly falls in love with him, starting to consider him her boyfriend even though he's already engaged to Miranda (his cousin). At the end of the series, she starts dating Pedro.
places
Prehistory - Shows Juanito's life in a prehistoric version as a smart caveman living with dinosaurs .
Mysterious Island - An unknown island that Juanito and Sombra are trapped on after having their boat broken at sea. It is populated by the Barrigas Pintadas tribe, a friendly indigenous tribe of which Juanito and Sombra become part.
Old West - Shows the adventures of Juanito and Sombra as a good guy in the wild west facing the tyranny of the feared Joe (Frank) in an isolated small town. Towards the middle of the series Juanito befriends an indigenous tribe with whom he falls in love with the daughter of chief Arco-Íris (Miranda).
King Maldade Castle - Set in a tenebrous castle in the middle of a swamp where the terrible King Maldade resides and his book of evil witchcraft which Juanito and Sombra have the mission to destroy. Over time the two become friends with a boy (Friend/Pedro) and start to face the Witch Much Scream (the servant of King Evil) in their plans.
Outer Space - At first it showed the adventures of Juanito, Sombra and Vanessa exploring space doing missions sent by Captain Estrela (Juanito's mother), but with time the stories start to focus on the adventures of the three in Planeta Orange, a dry and polluted where they help residents fend off evil aliens and preserve the local environment.
Links with the Triplets
In several episodes it is possible to see cameos and references to the series As Trigémeas , due to the fact that both series are produced by Cromosoma and Televisió de Catalunya . In two episodes it is possible to see the characters watching on television the cartoon of the Witch Onilda , but under the name of A Bruxa Boredada (the same name that the series received in Portugal ). In the episode where Vanessa steals Juanito's Shadow he mentions that the only magazine Vanessa read was the Triplets. And in the episode where Pedro's sister returns home when she tries to pull a rabbit out of her hat, what ends up coming out is the Owl of the Witch Onilda.

872577 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garveyism | Garveyism | Garveyism is an aspect of black nationalism that refers to the social, economic, and political policies of UNIA-ACL founder Marcus Garvey. At the movement's peak of popularity, followers of Garveyism, known as "Garveyites", numbered in the millions, with almost a thousand local divisions in the United States, the Caribbean, Central America, Canada and Africa. The ideology of Garveyism centers on the unification and empowerment of African-American men, women and children under the banner of their collective African descent, and the repatriation of African slave descendants and profits to the African continent. Garvey was fought by the African-American establishment in the U.S. An investigation by the Justice Department, directed by J. Edgar Hoover, led to Garvey's arrest on charges of mail fraud in January 1922, and his projects collapsed. |
872578 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaolin%20Showdown | Xiaolin Showdown | Xiaolin Showdown is an American animated television series that aired on Kids' WB and was created by Christy Hui. Set in a world where martial arts battles and Eastern magic are commonplace, the series follows four young Xiaolin warriors in training who battle the Heylin forces of evil. They do this by protecting Shen Gong Wu (ancient artifacts that have great magical powers) from villains that would use them to conquer the world. Typical episodes revolve around a specific Shen Gong Wu being revealed which results in both sides racing to find it. Episodes usually reach a head when one good and one evil character must challenge each other to a magical duel called a Xiaolin Showdown for possession of the artifact.

872584 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20Albania | History of Albania | The history of Albania forms a part of the history of Europe. During Classical Antiquity, several Illyrian tribes lived in Albania. They were the Ardiaei, Albanoi, Amantini, Enchele and Taulantii. There were also Thracian and Greek tribes, as well as several Greek colonies established on the Illyrian coast.
In the 3rd century BC, Rome conquered the area. It became part of the Roman provinces of Dalmatia, Macedonia and Moesia Superior. The territory remained under Roman and Byzantine control until the Slavic migrations of the 7th century. The Bulgarian Empire conquered it in the 9th century.
The Principality of Arbër and a Sicilian union known as the medieval Kingdom of Albania were established in the Middle Ages. Some areas became part of the Venetian and later Serbian Empire. Between the mid-14th and the late 15th centuries, most of modern-day Albania was dominated by Albanian principalities. They fell to the rapid invasion of the Ottoman Empire. Albania remained under Ottoman control as part of the province of Rumelia until 1912. After a short occupation by the Kingdom of Serbia, the first independent Albanian state was founded by the Albanian Declaration of Independence. An Albanian national consciousness was formed in the later 19th century. It is part of the larger phenomenon of the rise of nationalism under the Ottoman Empire.
The short-lived Principality of Albania (1914–1925) was succeeded by an even shorter-lived first Albanian Republic (1925–1928). Another monarchy, the Kingdom of Albania (1928–1939), replaced the republic. The country endured occupation by Italy just before World War II. After the collapse of the Axis powers, Albania became the Socialist People's Republic of Albania. It was a communist state. Enver Hoxha governed it most of its duration (died 1985). his political succesor Ramiz Alia oversaw the disintegration of the communist state. This happened during the wider collapse of the Eastern Bloc in the later 1980s.
The communist regime collapsed in 1990. The former communist Party of Labour of Albania was defeated in elections in March 1992, amid economic collapse and social unrest. The unstable economic situation led to an Albanian diaspora during the 1990s. The crisis peaked in the Albanian Turmoil of 1997. Albania was able to join the NATO in 2009 thanks to the improved economic and political conditions. The country is applying to join the European Union.

872605 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walls%20of%20Jerusalem%20National%20Park | Walls of Jerusalem National Park | The Walls of Jerusalem National Park is located in the centre of Tasmania. The park has a size of about 518 km² and was founded June 1981. It has been part of the Tasmanian Wilderness UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982 and is on both the cultural and natural heritage lists. This is where King Davids Peak is located.
Meaning of the name
The park takes its name from geological formations that resemble the walls of the city of Jerusalem in Israel. Therefore, many places and formations in the park are named after places in the Bible like Herod's Gate, Salome Lake, Solomon's Jewels and Damascus Gate.
Tourism
Like much of the Tasmanian wilderness, the area is not very accessible by roads and the only road leading into the park is through the C171 road. It is only accessible to experienced hikers (bushwalkers) or skiers who, because of the often very changeable weather, have to be very careful and take appropriate precautionary measures, about which the Parks & Wildlife Service provides comprehensive information.
Nature
The national park is characterised above all by its alpine vegetation with endemic coniferous forests and upholstered heather stands. In fire-protected areas, stands of cypress-like scale spruce can be found. The landscape of the area is characterised by Ice Age moraines and glacier lakes.

872610 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20Andorra | History of Andorra | Andorra, officially the Principality of Andorra (), is a microstate located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains and bordered by Spain and France.
Andorra claims it is the last independent survivor of the Marca Hispanica. This was the buffer states created by Charlemagne to keep the Islamic Moors from advancing into Christian France. According to the tradition, Charlemagne granted a charter to the Andorran people in return for their fighting the Moors. In the 9th century, Charlemagne's grandson, Charles the Bald, named the Count of Urgell as overlord of Andorra. A descendant of the count later gave the lands to the Diocese of Urgell.
In the 11th century, the Bishop of Urgell placed himself under the protection of the Lord of Caboet, a Catalan nobleman. Later, the Count of Foix became heir to the Lord of Caboet through marriage in 1208. A dispute arose between the Occitan Count and the Catalan bishop over Andorra.
In 1278, the conflict was resolved by the signing of a pareage (pariatges). This stated that Andorra's sovereignty was shared between the Count of Foix and the Bishop of La Seu d'Urgell (Catalonia). The pareage gave the small state its territory and political form. In return, Andorra pays an annual tribute or questia to the co-rulers consisting of four hams, forty loaves of bread, and some wine. Andorra's borders have remained unchanged since 1278.
Andorra was briefly annexed to the Crown of Aragon twice, in 1396 and 1512.

872620 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal%20National%20Park | Royal National Park | The Royal National Park is a national park in New South Wales of Australia. It is located 29 kilometres south of Sydney and is part of the Sydney metropolitan area.
History
The national park was founded in 1879 by Sir John Robertson, then premier of New South Wales, making it the second oldest national park in the world after Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Sir John Robertson cared for and supported him all the rest of his life. After coal was discovered on the terrain, it was founded out of economic interests to keep competition away from the gates of Sydney. Its original name was The National Park . In 1955 it was renamed after a visit from Queen Elizabeth II. The park is repeatedly ravaged by bushfires, which contribute to the constant change and regeneration of the vegetation. Plants like the native Waratah are adapted to the environmental factor fire and need the fires to bloom in subsequent years.
Location
The park is partly in the Sydney and Wollongong administrative districts and forms a jewel with unspoiled nature between these two major cities. It is bounded to the north by the Port Hacking fjord, to the west by the motorway between the cities and to the south to Otford. The Heathcote National Park connects across the freeway and continues the green belt around Sydney.
The Royal National Park offers very different landscapes and vegetation. It lies on sandstone hills that break off a few hundred meters down to the coast. They are mostly covered by eucalyptus forests with a wealth of species. Centrally, deeply cut, the Hacking River runs through the park, which flows into the seawater of Port Hacking at Audley. This rugged bay offers protection from the open sea. The water at Bundeena is very shallow and is home to an extensive mangrove forest . There are a few beaches and lagoons on the open coast to the Tasman Sea. Most of them can only be reached on foot via the coastal footpath. Wattamolla can be approached and offers ample picnic and barbecue facilities. In the southeast the forest merges into the subtropical rainforest of the Illawarra Escarpment, in which there are also palm trees.
Access
Access by car is via three routes, north from Sutherland, west from Waterfall and south from Otford via Stanwell Park . A daily or annual fee is required, which can be purchased at various points of sale as well as on NSW national parks website.

872645 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinders%20Chase%20National%20Park | Flinders Chase National Park | Flinders Chase National Park is a national park in South Australia in Kangaroo Island south of Adelaide. The park has a size of 326 km² and is distributed over the three areas; Cape du Couedic and Rocky River, Gosse Lands and the Cape Borda Lighthouse in the west of the island. The park was founded in 1919. The closest town is Kingscote, about 110 km away.
The main attractions of the park are the bizarre rocks of the Remarkable Rocks, the colonies of fur seals at Admirals Arch, and the lighthouse at Cape Borda from 1858. There are also numerous kangaroos and koalas in the park.
Wildlife
New Zealand fur seals, Australian fur seals and Australian sea lions can be found along the coast of the park. Showy land mammals are kangaroos, which are represented by two species. On the one hand by a special island subspecies of the western grey giant kangaroo and on the other hand by the derby wallaby . A purely endemic terrestrial mammal species found nowhere else on the island is the Kangaroo Island narrow-footed pouch mouse . At other mammals come koalas, platypus, pseudocheiridae, common brushtail possum, Small short-nosed bandicoot (Isodon oesulus obesulus), Tasmanian cercartetus, thin tail cercartetus, swamp rats (Rattus lutreolus), also a subspecies of the Australian bush rat (Rattus fuscipes greyi) and a special island subspecies of the short-billed hedgehog. In addition, eight species of bats live in the park.
The koalas, platypus and ring-baggers were introduced from mainland Australia. The number of koalas has increased so much in recent years that many eucalyptus forests have been severely damaged. The national park administration tries to cope with the situation with sterilisation programs. In the national park there are also some species that do not belong to the original Australian fauna. These are goats, fallow deer, pigs, house cats, house rats and house mice .
The kangaroo island emu was once endemic to the island, but in the 19th Century extinct. Reptiles are represented by Rosenberg's monitor lizard, dwarf copper head, black tiger otter, striped fin foot, various skinks, geckos and an agame (Ctenophorus decresii). Six species of frog are at home in the park. The leatherback turtle is found on the coasts.
Bushfires
At 6 December 2007, lightning bolts ignited a bushfire in which 19,542 ha bush burned in the national park. This corresponds to 60% of the total area.
Even bigger fires raged over the turn of the 2019/2020 bushfire season, which destroyed around a quarter in the west of the island. The bushfires also largely destroyed Flinders Chase National Park, including the visitor centre. Much of the rare wildlife was also a victim of the flames.

872650 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemings%20family | Hemings family | The Hemings family was a group of people who lived in Virginia. They were Elizabeth Hemings and her children and other descendants. They were enslaved people, meaning some of their ancestors had been kidnapped in Africa and brought over the Atlantic Ocean in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Some of them became free later. For part of their history, they were enslaved to the Eppes family, to the Wayles family, and to Thomas Jefferson. The Hemingses were the largest family to live at Monticello.
Beginning
According to Elizabeth Hemings' grandson, Madison Hemings, her mother was a fully African woman and might have been born in Africa. She was enslaved to the Eppes family in Virginia. Historians do not know for sure what her name was. Papers with the names of enslaved women in the Eppes family include "Dinah," "Judy," "Abbie," "Sarah," "Parthenia," and others. Historian Annette Gordon-Reed said that there were many girls named "Thenia" in the Hemings family, and they might have been named after Parthenia, also spelled Parthena. But she also says that "Sally" is a nickname for "Sarah," and there were many girls named "Sarah" and "Sally" in the Hemings family too. So Elizabeth Hamings' mother's white name was probably Parthenia or Sarah.
Madison Hemings told the story: Elizabeth Hemings' mother was an African woman and her father was an English sea captain named Hemings. The sea captain tried to buy Elizabeth Hemings from her owner when she was born. Even though he offered the owner a lot of money, the owner still said no. He said he wanted to see what a half-white, half-African child would look like. Then Captain Hemings tried to take the child away from the owner without paying, but someone told the owner about his plan. Captain Hemings left Virginia and did not come back.
Captain Hemings tried to take his daughter from one of the men in the Eppes family, but historians do not know which one because they do not know when Elizabeth Hemings was born. One paper says "about 1735."
Elizabeth Hemings lived at the Eppes family's house, which was called Bermuda Hundred until 1746. That year, Martha Eppes married John Wayles. Elizabeth and other enslaved people went with Martha to Wayle's house as part of her marriage settlement. A marriage settlement was any property that a married woman could control and her husband couldn't. Technically, the Eppes family owned Elizabeth Hemings.
Elizabeth Hemings lived as a house servant. That means she did not grow tobacco or cotton in the fields like other enslaved people in Virginia did. Historians think that Elizabeth Hemings' job with the Wayles family was to help raise Martha Wayles, later Martha Wayles Skelton-Jefferson. After Johyn Wayles' wife died, he made Elizabeth Hemings his concubine, which means they had a sexual relationship but he did not free her or marry her. Historians do not know how Elizabeth Hemings felt about this.
When Martha Wayles Skelton married Thomas Jefferson, Hemings and many people in her family went with Martha Skelton to Jefferson's house at Monticello. Historians think Elizabeth Hemings took care of Martha Wayles Skelton-Jefferson when she became sick and that she was there when she died.
Habits
The Hemingses were known for pooling resources. That means that if one of them had money or other good things, they would share it with the others. They also had what historian Annette Gordon-Reed calls a "mania" for naming their children after each other. A mother would name her children after her own sisters or brothers.
Thomas Jefferson wrote a lot, so historians know more about the Hemingses who lived on Monticello than about many other enslaved people. We know that six of Elizabeth Hemings' children were Martha Jefferson's half-brothers and half-sisters because they had the same father: John Wayles. We do not know what Martha Jefferson or the Hemingses thought about this. We do know that Robert and James Hemings helped Martha Jefferson and her daughters escape from British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. We do not know whether the Hemings men thought of themselves as two men helping their sister and nieces, as two men helping their master's wife and daughters, as both, or as neither one.
Thomas Jefferson trusted many people in the Hemings family. When he was away from Monticello, he would allow the Hemings men to leave, choose other people for whom to work, and keep all their wages. The law of Virginia at the time said he did not have to do this. Jefferson freed several people in the Hemings family. He did not get along with all the Hemingses. He had a fight with Martin Hemings.
Jefferson was not always happy to free enslaved people. When Robert Hemings asked to make a deal with Jefferson for his freedom, Jefferson was not happy about it. He said that Robert had been lured away from him. After freeing Robert, Jefferson stopped letting his enslaved people travel so much. Historian Annette Gordon-Reed writes that she thinks Jefferson figured out that letting enslaved people live as if they were free made them want to be free for real. It also let them learn things about the outside world.

872653 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savitribai%20Phule | Savitribai Phule | Savitribai Phule (3 January 1831 – 10 March 1897) was a social reformer of India. She was a poet from Maharashtra. She is known as the "first female teacher of India". She worked on improving the rights of women in India with her husband. Her husband's name was Jyotirao Phule. They started the first Indian girls school in Pune, at Bhide wada in 1848. She tried to end social class and unfair treatment based on sex in Indian society. She was an important person of the social reform in Maharashtra.
Early life
Savitribai Phule was born on 3 January 1831 in the village of Naigaon in Satara District, Maharashtra. Her birthplace was about from Shirval and about from Pune. Savitribai Phule was the oldest daughter of Lakshmi (her mother) and Khandoji Nevase Patil (her father). They were from the Mali Community. Savitribai and Jotirao did not have any children of their own. It is said that they took Yashawant in their family. Yashawant was the son of a Brahmin woman whose husband had died.
Career
At the time of marriage, Savitribai was not able to read or write. Jyotirao taught Savitribai at their home. She completed her primary education with Jyotirao. She registered herself in two training programs to become a teacher. Later, Savitribai Phule started teaching girls at the Maharwada in Pune. Soon Savitribai and with Sagunabai started their own school at Bhide Wada. Sagunabai was a coach of Jyotirao Phule. Tatya Saheb Bhide was inspired by these works. School course at Bhide Wada included traditional western course of mathematics, science, and social studies. By the end of 1851, Savitribai and Jyotirao Phule were running three different schools for girls in Pune. These three schools had almost one hundred and fifty students registered. Teaching of these three schools was better than government schools. As a result of this, the number of girls in these schools went up to the number of boys in government schools.
Savitribai and Jyotirao Phule's success came with much oppose. The opposers were the persons who did not like change. The Phules faced strong opposition from powerful castes (Brahmin) because they belonged to the week caste (Mali). Education was not for the Sudra castes for thousands of years. For this reason, Brahmins started to oppose works of Jyotirao and Savitribai. Savitribai and Jyotirao Phule were living at home of father of Jyotirao til 1849. Father of Jyotirao asked them to leave his home In 1849 because their work was a sin as per the Manusmriti and Brahmanical texts.
They moved in the family of Usman Sheikh. Usman Sheikh was a friend of Jyotirao. In the 1850s, Savitribai and Jyotirao Phule established two educational trusts - The Native Female School, Pune and the Society for Promoting the Education of Mahars, Mangs, and Etceteras. These two trusts had many schools of Savitribai Phule.
Jyotirao talked about Savitribai and his work in an interview. This interview was given to the Christian missionary periodical, Dnyanodaya, on 15 September 1853. He said
She taught children from different castes. She opened a total of 18 schools with her husband. They also opened a care centre called Balhatya Pratibandhak Griha (literally, "Child-killing Prohibition Home") for pregnant rape victims. Balhatya Pratibandhak Griha helped deliver and save their children.
Death
Savitribai and her adopted son, Yashwant, opened a clinic. This clinic was for the victims of an outbreak of the bubonic plague (Third Pandemic). The clinic was in Pune. Savitribai died a heroic death. She tried to save the son of Pandurang Babaji Gaekwad. She came to know that Gaekwad's son had got the plague. Savitribai Phule ran to him. She carried him on her back to the hospital. In the process, she was infected. She died at 9:00pm on 10 March 1897.

872694 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian%20Women%27s%20League | Indian Women's League | The Indian Women's League is the top level in the women's professional football league system in India. The first season started in Cuttack in October 2016. The league is run by the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
History
Since 1991, the top women's football tournament in India has been the Indian Women's Football Championship. The tournament served as a female version of the Santosh Trophy, with states competing against each other. There had never been a national football league for women; however, leagues were started by state associations for women. The first women's state football league was set up in 1976 in Manipur. The Indian Football Association of West Bengal founded the Calcutta Women's League in 1993. Leagues were also started in Mumbai and Goa in 1998 and 1999.
In 2014, after the success of the India women's team, mainly in the SAFF Women's Championship, a push to start a women's football league, mainly along the lines of the successful Indian Super League, started. Clubs such as Pune and Bengaluru FC had interest in joining a women's league. It was around this time that the All India Football Federation started plans to create the ISL-style league for women.
On 21 April 2016, over a year after the AIFF made plans for a women's football league, the AIFF President, Praful Patel, said that a women's football league would start in October 2016 with six teams to be decided, with the goal to expand to eight teams by 2017. Just over two months later, on 5 July 2016, the AIFF organized a meeting to discuss the India women's national team and discuss the proposed women's football league. Five Indian Super League sides (Delhi Dynamos, Chennaiyin FC, Kerala Blasters, FC Pune City, Atletico de Kolkata) and three I-League teams (Bengaluru FC, Aizawl FC, Mumbai FC) attended the meeting. It was declared that the league would feature the eight teams in the league and two other spots would be decided through a pre-qualification round.
On 14 October, the AIFF declared that the preliminary rounds for the Women's League would begin on 17 October 2016 in which ten teams would split into two groups of five teams each, with the winner from each group qualifying for the national finals.

872828 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouddi%20National%20Park | Bouddi National Park | The Bouddi National Park is a national park in New South Wales, 44 kilometres northeast of Sydney on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It is near Broken Bay, the mouth of the Hawkesbury River. Part of this national park also includes the adjacent coastal waters, so that a contiguous habitat on land, on the coast and in the sea is protected. The park also includes Fletchers Glen, one of the last remaining temperate rainforests on the central stretch of the New South Wales coast.
Originally the park was called Bouddi Natural Park. It got its name at the second Park Association meeting in 1936. Other names that were under discussion were Maitland Bay Park, Cape Three Points Reserve, and Gerrinbombi Park . The reason for the choice of the name was the fact that Bouddi was documented as an Aboriginal name for this area, since it appeared in maps from 1828. The park association was formed the year before to administer the park and had members from the NSW Federation of Bushwalking Clubs and the Erina Shire Council.
In 1967 the then 530 hectare park was rededicated as a national park and renamed Bouddi State Park, according to the legislation that had just come into force. Management passed to the NSW National Park and Wildlife Service and shortly thereafter the parks association was transformed into an advisory committee. On the 1st January 1974 the National Park and Wildlife Act dropped the State Park category and the park was renamed Bouddi National Park.

872854 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy%20field | Paddy field | When growing semiaquatic plants, such as rice and taro, paddy fields are used. These fields are filled with shallow water at least part of the year. Growing these plants is very labor-intensive. A lot of water is needed. Paddy-fields started next to the Yangtze River in China, in the Neolithic. Later, their use spread to other areas in Asia. Paddy fields are built next to marshes or using terraces, on a hillside.
Deepwater rice is not grown using paddy fields: It needs water over deep for at least a month.

872856 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naracoorte%20Caves%20National%20Park | Naracoorte Caves National Park | The Naracoorte Caves National Park is a national park in the southeast of the Australian state of South Australia, 313 km southeast of Adelaide, 83 km north of Mount Gambier and 15 km southeast of Naracoorte. 1994, the area was declared a national park because of its extraordinarily extensive fossil finds and classified together with Riversleigh in Queensland as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The natural world heritage area contains 26 caves on 3.05 km² area.
Facilities and sights
The park is a tourist attraction and has a campground, RV park, group accommodation, picnic areas and a cafe. The number of sights is huge. Cave tours are offered by trained guides. There you can see caves filled with a large number of interesting fossils. With the help of modern technology, visitors can be shown the inside of the normally inaccessible Bat Cave, where thousands of bats breed every year. There are also cave tours for adventurers, a number of special tours and special events.
Emergence
The limestone in the area was formed by corals and other marine life 200 million years ago when it was below sea level and again about 20 million years ago when the land was again below sea level. Since then, groundwater has loosened part of the limestone, creating the caves. These caves, like the Victoria Fossil Cave or the Blanche Cave, are often not far underground and holes opened up that posed dangers to the unwary. This created a remarkable collection of fossils. Mammals and other land creatures fell into the open holes and were unable to escape. The fossils were preserved in banks of earth washed and blown from the surface of the earth. In some places the fossil-bearing layer is up to 20 m thick. Some of these areas will be saved for future exploration when better methods of dating and reconstructing fossil records become available. The fossil traps are particularly important for research into the Australian megafauna.

These varieties have adaptations that allow them to keep their leaves outside the water: Either they have longer leaves, or they float on top of the water.
More than people in Southeast Asia including Northeastern India rely on deepwater rice for their sustenance. Two adaptations permit the rice to live in deeper water, floating rice and traditional talls. Traditional talls are varieties that are grown at water depths between . They have developed to be taller and have longer leaves than standard rice. Floating rice grows in water deeper than 100 cm through advanced elongation ability. This means when a field where rice is growing floods, accelerated growth in the internodal of the stem allows the plant to keep some of its foliage on top of the water. The O. s. indica cultivar is the main type of deepwater rice, although varieties of O. s. japonica have been found in Burma and Assam Plains.
Usually, rice is grown in shallow water, using paddy fields.

It is roughly halfway between Sydney and Brisbane, around 80 km from Dorrigo. Its name comes from the explorer John Oxley, who also crossed this area.
The national park was placed under protection in September 1986. It covers an area of approximately 142,332 hectares. These are several, non-contiguous sub-areas.
The Oxley Wild Rivers National Park borders the Willi Willi National Park.
Nature
The national park has an impressive landscape in many areas with deep gorges and high waterfalls. Well known is the Wollomombi Falls, the highest waterfall in New South Wales.
The predominant plant communities are rainforests, dry eucalyptus forests, grassy woodlands and heathland. A total of about 950 plant species have been documented in the park, of which about 35 are considered rare and endangered.
In addition, 55 mammal, 173 bird, 38 reptile and 19 amphibian species have been recorded in the national park.
In addition to the populations of the grey giant kangaroos, the wallaroos or mountain kangaroos and the red-necked filanders, the occurrence of the brush-tailed rock kangaroos, of which around 10,000 are found in the national park, are particularly noteworthy. This is the largest known population anywhere. You can also do this in the park Watch koalas and wombats.
Among the bird species are particularly the birds of prey, including the wedge-tailed eagle on its prey flights, the peregrine falcon, crested kite (Lophoictinia isura) and the white-bellied sea eagle.
Introduced animals such as mice and rats as well as feral domestic animals such as horses, goats, cats and dogs can disturb the ecological balance in the park and may be combated by the national park administration.
Tourism
There are various accommodations, campsites and hiking trails for tourists, some of which are even usable for wheelchair users and open up various viewing platforms.
Further protection categories
In 1987 the national park became a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of Australia's Gondwana Rainforests.

872871 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willandra%20National%20Park | Willandra National Park | Willandra National Park is a national park in the southwest of the Australian state of New South Wales, 582 km west of Sydney. The park is about 60 km west of the town of Hillston and 170 km northwest of Griffith.
Landscape and climate
Willandra National Park was established in 1972 and covers an area of approximately 19,385 hectares. It consists of 13.85 km² of flat grassland bounded to the north by Willandra Creek, which connects the Lachlan River with the Darling River.
The land around the national park is mainly used as extensive pasture for sheep and cattle. Most of the roads in this area are unpaved and become slippery or even impassable even with light rainfall. The climate is semi-arid with very hot summers and cold winters. The park is located on the northern edge of the Riverina plain.
History
It is believed that Aboriginal colonisation dates back at least 15,000 years. The Willandra Creek was roughly the border between the settlement areas of the Wiradjuri in the south and the Wongaibon in the north.
The first European settlers came in the 1830s. Initially, the white colonisation by sheep breeders was sparse and allowed the Aborigines to continue their accustomed way of life. But in the 1870s and early 1880s, extensive fencing, building, and river regulation programs began as the first phase of permanent white settlement. In 1894, Willandra became the property of the London Bank of Melbourne after the Whittington Brothers' corporate empire, who had previously owned the country, collapsed in the economic crisis of the 1890s. Under the management of Arthur and Frank Laird, Willandra became a well-known sheep breeding area in the years that followed and the owners won many awards for the high quality of their Merino herds.
In 1912 Willandra was sold to the Vickery Partnership and peaked as a ranching company in the 1920s and 1930s. Up to 90,000 sheep were sheared at once and the land area of the farm reached 1760 km². A new manor house (which still stands today and is available as a guest house) was added in 1918. In the following years more buildings were added. The estate had a tennis court, a croquet court and orchards and has thus become - to this day - a remarkable oasis in an otherwise dry and dusty landscape.
Despite high wool prices in the 1950s, Willandra's decline as a well-known cattle breeding business began, which was exacerbated by a long drought after WWII. In 1960, the New Zealand and Australian Land Company bought Willandra and the estate's land area decreased to 721 km². For a while, however, the success came back and the company employed up to 22 people.
1969 bought Dalgety Plc. the estate but failed to renew the land leases when they expired in 1971. With the expiry of the leases, the government of New South Wales withdrew the permission to use the crown land and made the area a national park in 1972. The reserve was then managed by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (now part of the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water ). In a major renovation program at the end of the 1990s, the buildings were restored to their old splendor and are now partly used as guest houses.
Flora and fauna
The park is very level with only a few elevations. For the most part, it is grassland with trees just along the watercourses and around normally dry lakes and valleys. The predominant plant communities are dry eucalyptus forests and grass-rich, light forests. The light forest is dominated by eucalyptus ( Black Box, Eucalyptus largiflorens) and acacias ( River Cooba, Acacia stenophylla). Naturally occurring tree and shrub species that characterize the area include the pittosporum (Pittosporum phylliraeoides), Rosewood (Heterodendrum oleifolium) Hakea leucoptera and Senna eremophila.
Before European colonisation began, logs, cotton bushes (Maireana aphylla) and native grasses were probably the most common forms of covering on the plains. Over 100 years of pasture and improvements for sheep breeding have changed this and the plant and animal communities no longer show the conditions as they were before the European settlement. Still, Willandra is an important habitat for many native species, such as the emu, the threatened Plain hikers, red and gray kangaroos, the echidna, the platypus, nine bat species and 23 reptile species, such as the Gould's Sand Goanna and the Mulga Brown Snake.

It lies north of the mouth of the Hawkesbury River and was named after the Brisbane Water lagoon between Gosford and Woy Woy, which borders the park to the east. The western and northern borders are formed by the Pacific Highway.
The park consists of steep sandstone cliffs overgrown with forest.
There are many hiking trails in the park that can be classified from easy to difficult. One route that is easily accessible by public transport is to Pindar Cave on the rock step above Wondabyne Station, a on-demand stop on the Central Coast Railway Line (Sydney-Newcastle) which is also the only train station in Australia inaccessible by road. This large park is also home to many other hiking trails such as the Great North Walk.

872873 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrajudicial%20killing | Extrajudicial killing | An extrajudicial killing (or extralegal killing) is the killing of a person without waiting for the result of a state trial. Extrajudicial killings happen in states which either have laws favoring them, or where the state condones the killing. An example might be that someone is suspected of having done something which dishonors the family. Killing the person might be a way to keep the family in good standing (This is known as honor killing). The state might have laws that do not see this as murder, so the killers will not get a harsh sentence, or they will go unpunished altogether.
If forces of the state kill someone this is seen as extrajudicial killing, if none of the following applies:
Justifiable killing in self-defense
Killing someone as part of an armed conflict (or a war)
Legitimate use of force to make someone follow the rule of law
Organisations working against those killings
The United Nations has [an investigator or] a Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. That person has support from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Morris Tidball-Binz became the Special Rapporteur in 2021.
Work is also done by human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
