Kerry Falls Hydro-Electric Scheme
| 75,665,910 |
Kerry Falls Hydro-Electric Scheme, sometimes known as Gairloch is a small-scale hydro-electric power station, built by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board and commissioned in 1952. It is located near Gairloch in Wester Ross, part of the Highlands of Scotland. It was originally designed to supply power to local communities in this remote area, but is now connected to the National Grid.
|
|
Kerry Falls Hydro-Electric Scheme
| 75,665,910 |
History
|
The North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board was created by the Hydro-electric Development (Scotland) Act 1943, a measure championed by the politician Tom Johnston while he was Secretary of State for Scotland. Johnston's vision was for a public body that could build hydro-electric stations throughout the Highlands. Profits made by selling bulk electricity to the Scottish lowlands would be used to fund "the economic development and social improvement of the North of Scotland." Private consumers would be offered a supply of cheap electricity, and their connection to that supply would not reflect the actual cost of its provision in remote and sparsely-populated areas.
|

| 75,665,910 |
History
|
The chairman of the new Board was to be Lord Airlie, who had initially been critical of the 1943 Act because its scope was too limited. The deputy chairman and chief executive was Edward MacColl, an engineer with wide experience of hydro-electric projects and electrical distribution networks. It soon became clear that MacColl intended to push ahead with the aspirations of the Act at breakneck speeds. He produced a list of 102 potential sites in just three months, and in June 1944, the first constructional scheme was published. This was for the Loch Sloy scheme, which had a ready market for bulk supplies to nearby Clydeside, but it included two smaller schemes, to demonstrate the Board's commitment to supplying remote areas.
|
Kerry Falls Hydro-Electric Scheme
| 75,665,910 |
History
|
Kerry Falls was part of Constructional Scheme No.2, and was included as part of the much larger Tummel Hydro-Electric Scheme. When the scheme was published, there were no objections to the Kerry Falls scheme, which was a small scale project capable of generating around 1.25 MW of electricity, but concerted objections to the Tummel scheme, which would include several power stations with a capacity to generate 150 MW. Many within the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board thought that it might be better to postpone the scheme, in view of the bitter animosity that they had suffered with the Sloy scheme, but MacColl wanted to push on, in the hope that if this succeeded, there might be less opposition to future schemes. Kerry Falls was caught up in the ensuing furore.

History
|
Johnston decided to appoint a tribunal to hear the evidence for and against the scheme, which started on 25 May 1945 and lasted for ten days. The transcript of the hearing ran to 1,188 pages. At the end of it, Mr Hill-Watson, summing up for the opposition, stated that the whole scheme was uneconomic, would destroy the salmon fisheries of the River Tay, wipe out the tourist trade and spoil the amenities of Pitlochry. He stated that the Highlands would barely benefit, as only 350 houses in Gairloch would benefit from an electricity supply, whereas all of the power from the Tummel scheme would be sold to the Lowlands. Although they acknowledged the seriousness of the objections, the tribunal decided that the whole scheme was in the public interest, and should proceed. The bill then had to go before Parliament, where there were further attempts to derail it, and savage attacks on Lord Airlie. However, an annulment order in the House of Commons was rejected, and a similar attempt in the House of Lords was eventually withdrawn, allowing the scheme to be approved on 19 November 1945. The Kerry Falls project could then proceed.

Kerry Falls Hydro-Electric Scheme
| 75,665,910 |
History
|
An impounding reservoir was created by building a dam across the outlet of Loch Bad an Sgalaig, at the upper end of the River Kerry. A further small dam and pond were created below the dam, to feed water into a surface pipeline, which runs along the north bank of the river to the site of the turbine house. This creates a head of 183 feet (56 m) for the turbines. There are three turbines, with a combined capacity of 1.25 MW. Originally there were two, but a third, smaller turbine was added to allow water to bypass the main turbines and effectively provide compensation water to the river while still generating electricity. The red sandstone used in the construction of the building was quarried near Dingwall, and the project was completed by the contractor Willie Logan, later known for the creation of the airline Loganair.

Young Woman with Cats
| 75,665,968 |
Description
|
Charlotte Berend was portrayed several times by Corinth. Here he depicts his wife, who was 23 years his junior, wearing a floral dress and a hat decorated with flowers. The subject of the painting and the way in which color is handled is reminiscent of early French Impressionism. Although Lovis Corinth is sometimes considered an Impressionist, the portrait is more direct and clearly articulated than similar paintings by French Impressionists. The painting radiates intimacy with the person portrayed. The youth and innocence of the woman are underlined by the two kittens that Charlotte Berend holds in her hands.

Charlotte Berend was a painter and was the first student to take lessons from Lovis Corinth, in 1901, who had founded a private “painting school for women” and for whom she was regularly available as a model since 1902. The following year, on March 26, 1903, Lovis Corinth and Charlotte Berend got married, and she adopted the double name Berend-Corinth. They had two children, Thomas (born in 1904), and Wilhelmine Corinth (born in 1909).

Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
"Late for the Sky" is a song written by Jackson Browne. It is the opening track and title track from Browne's 1974 album Late for the Sky.
|
|
Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
Lyrics and music
|
AllMusic critic William Ruhlmann describes "Late for the Sky" as a "slow, piano-based ballad in [Browne's] familiar style" that is "a typically eloquent description of romantic discord." Ultimate Classic Rock critic Michael Gallucci says that while the album plays like "one long breakup montage" the title track is key to the story, telling of "the moment where that tiny glimmer of hope is wiped out by cold, hard reality." Browne biographer Mark Bego said that it "sets the tone" for the rest of the album.
|
Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
Lyrics and music
|
The lyrics tell of a relationship that is doomed to fail because the singer's lover's expectations of him are too great. Rolling Stone critic Stephen Holden said that it "explores an affair at its nadir." The song starts by describing an argument in which the singer and his lover discuss their relationship from when it began until he realizes that now when he looks at her he sees "nobody I'd ever known." In the second verse the singer acknowledges that "for me some words come easy/But I know that they don't mean that much/Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch." In the bridge the singer notes that he has been fooling himself by imagining that he could be the one who his lover needs.
|
Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
Lyrics and music
|
The song ends with a restatement of the bridge in which the singer states that he is rushing to catch an early flight because he is "late for the sky." According to Browne biographer Rich Wiseman, "the sky serves as the album's most striking symbol of death/salvation." Holden similarly stated that the sky is "the album’s symbol for escape, salvation and death."
|
Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
Lyrics and music
|
Both Bego and Wiseman have suggested that the song is about Browne's relationship with singer Joni Mitchell.
|
Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
Lyrics and music
|
Bego describes the music as being "slow and somber". Music critic Jon Landau said that the song "begins with some instrumental meandering that may, at first, seem pointless" but the song "gathers momentum" so that by the chorus "the music has suddenly and surprisingly become compelling." The song has an unusual structure, in which there are two statements of the verse and chorus, followed by the bridge, and then another statement of the chorus before ending with a version of the bridge.

Lyrics and music

Browne praised the harmony vocals provided by Doug Haywood. According to Browne:
|
Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
Lyrics and music
|
It has this great harmony part by Doug Haywood that really makes the song. Doug, Don Henley, J.D. Souther, Dan Fogelberg and I were really the best of friends back in the '70s. Everybody has that group of friends in their life at the time they come of age, and these were mine. I had some of the most hilarious times standing around the mike with them. I'm not a very exacting harmony singer and certainly was less so then, so when we did harmonies they'd have to send me on some errand just so they could get it done. "Hey, yeah, Jackson, know what? I left something in my car, would you mind going and grabbing it?" I'd come back and the part would be finished.
|
Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
Reception
|
Los Angeles Times critic Robert Hilburn said that "Late for the Sky" was "perhaps the album's best designed work", describing its theme as "the agony of discovering the reality of an incomplete relationship."
|
Late for the Sky (song)
| 75,666,009 |
Reception
|
Gallucci rated "Late for the Sky" as Browne's 6th greatest song. Classic Rock History critic Brian Kachejian rated it as Browne's 9th greatest song.

Cape Rosier, Maine
| 75,666,068 |
Cape Rosier is a cape on the south central coast of the U.S. state of Maine, extending into the Atlantic Ocean. More specifically, the peninsula reaches south and westward from the Maine mainland into Penobscot Bay. To the west, it forms a part of the estuary of the Penobscot River. To the north of the peninsula, across the water, is Castine, and to its west is Islesboro, and beyond it the Camden Hills. The cape is part of the town of Brooksville, in Hancock County and lies about 25 miles southwest of the county seat at Ellsworth. One of Brooksville's four unincorporated villages, Harborside, is located on the northwest coast of the cape.

Geology and ecology
|
The Maine coastal landscape was created by glacier ice and is geologically young, having been covered in ice sheets a mile thick during the last ice age. The land has not yet fully adjusted to the melting of those ice sheets about 11,000 years ago, when which caused drainage networks to form coastal rivers and basins, with the rivers meeting raw bedrock or glacially deposited gravel ridges (eskers and moraines). Ore deposits of zinc and copper, among other minerals, occur on Cape Rosier.

Goose Falls is one of just a few "reversing" falls on the East Coast-- all of them in Maine-- where rivers flow forwards and backward twice a day, with the changing tides. These tidal falls form where freshwater rivers or bays meet the sea at a narrow passageway, and are a relatively rare phenomenon that requires the right bedrock geology, channel width and depth must be "just right to produce a significant height difference on a rising or falling tide." At low tide, Goose Pond drains into Penobscot Bay through a cleft in a bedrock outcrop, while at high tide, the falls flood back through the crevice into the pond.

Geology and ecology

The glaciers formed land that is a highly productive wild blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) habitat. Humans have long cultivated blueberries in the region, and its fruit and foliage are eaten by Cape Rosier's black bears, raccoons, foxes, white-tailed deer and birds. The low-bush blueberry's leaves also serve as hosts for caterpillar larvae for various moth species.

The cape is home to many seasonal and year-round birds, including shorebirds, songbirds, and birds of prey. Among them are bald eagles, ospreys, kestrels, and several species of hawks. Barred owls also live on the cape. On the shore, terns, gulls, and cormorants are abundant, and buffleheads, guillemots, and mergansers are also seen frequently. Seals and porpoises live in the waters surrounding the cape, along with sea creatures such as clams, mussels, American lobster, crabs, starfish, sea urchins, and many others.

History of settlement

The land has historically been the home of the Penobscot people, a federally- and state-recognized tribe. Indigenous people are thought to have inhabited the area now known as Maine for 11,000 years or more. In recent centuries, the Penobscot area was home to tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy. The Wabanaki peoples ate seafood such as clams, mussels, and fish and may have hunted marine mammals such as seals. They also gathered and processed bird eggs, berries, nuts, and roots.

Like others on Cape Rosier, the Nearings cultivated blueberries as a cash crop. Tourism is also a source of income for residents, particularly in summer. On the cape, there are 1,345 acres of preserved land and wildlife sanctuary at the publicly owned Holbrook Island Sanctuary State Park. The park contains several coastal ecosystems, including upland forest and meadows, ponds, wetland marshes, and rocky coastline. It is managed by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry. The land is open for hiking, kayaking, picnicking and fishing. The park has 11 miles (18 km) of trails, and several places to swim.

Mining took place near Goose Falls, located about 1,000 feet southwest of Harborside, beginning in the 1880s after a clam digger at Goose Pond discovered zinc-copper sulfide ore deposits at low tide. In the 1940s and '50s it was determined that the ore contained zinc, copper, lead, arsenic, and cadmium. Mining spanned the late 1800s until 1972, when the Callahan Mining Corporation closed. Intensive mining from 1968 to 1972 left the cove severely contaminated, and the mine and cove were designated a Superfund site in 2001, under a federal environmental remediation program to clean up highly polluted tracts of land, managed by the Environmental Protection Agency.

James Center
| 75,666,100 |
The James Center is a mixed-use complex of buildings located in Richmond, Virginia. The complex consists of three office buildings (One, Two, and Three James Center) and the Omni Hotel. Overall, the complex contains over 2.5 million square feet. The genesis of the James Center began in July 1970, when the Chesapeake and Ohio and Seaboard Coast Line railroad companies announced the creation of the James Center Development Company aimed at developing a 7.5 acre parcel of land in the downtown Richmond. This parcel of land was being used by the C&O as a railroad freight yard but was growing increasingly obsolete by nature of Richmond's slowing industrial capacities in the 1960s. The SCL was involved in the project due to its exchange of money to the C&O derived from the sale of the SCL's Byrd Street Station property. This sale involved the land which would become the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

During the demolition of existing buildings to make way for the new complex, the Gallego Flour Mills were demolished in October 1970. These mills were first established around 1798 by Joseph Gallego, a Richmond merchant. They were successively burned down and reconstructed in the early 1800s, the 1820s, 1834, 1848, 1865, and 1903. In 1930, the mills closed down after the loss of water rights from the canal to the C&O.

The development took another fifteen years before the first building was completed. By 1987, all four buildings had been finished and were opened to their tenants. One James Center was initially known as the Dominion Bank building while Two James Center was known as the Central Fidelity Bank building. One James Center was later known as the First Union Bank building from 1993 to 2001, the McGuire Woods building from 2004 to 2015, and since 2020 has held the sign of HCA Healthcare. Two James Center was later known as the Central Fidelity Bank Building from 1993 to 1998, the Wachovia building from 1998 to 2008, and since 2008 has been known as the Wells Fargo Building.

History

The land where the James Center is located was annexed to the city of Richmond in 1769. It was later to be chosen as the site for the Great Turning Basin for the James River and Kanawha Canal and was constructed as such in the late 1700s. The canal was a key mode of transportation in the 1800s but was extremely expensive to maintain, as seasonal floods often wiped out necessary locks and dumped sediment into the canal bed. In addition, railroads rapidly became the most expedient way to move passengers and freight across the country. By the late 1870s, the canal company had declared bankruptcy and was bought by the Richmond and Alleghany Railroad. The R&A built its track on top of the old canal tow-path and abandoned the canal bed. The turning basin in Richmond was filled in over time and became a yard for the railroad. In 1890, the R&A was bought by the new Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Railroads across the country, including the C&O, reached their zenith serving the tremendous demands of the US war machine during World War II but were largely supplanted by the airline and automobile industries in the next few decades.

Background
|
The Apple Watch is a smartwatch developed by Apple, debuting in September 2014. The watch accounts for US$20 billion of Apple's annual sales and a third of all smartwatch sales. In October 2013, Cercacor Laboratories chief technology officer Marcelo Lamego emailed Apple chief executive Tim Cook. Lamego began working for the company several weeks after the email was sent and began requesting Apple file a series of patents related to pulse oximetry within months of his employment. According to Masimo, Lamego initially declined to join Apple during a meeting between Masimo and Apple executives in 2013, but reconsidered after Masimo chief executive Joe Kiani appointed another employee as the company's chief technology officer. Lamego resigned in July 2014 after disputing with managers. According to Kiani, Apple hired thirty Masimo employees.
