Q4272115 The Story of Miss Moppet is a tale about teasing, featuring a kitten and a mouse, that was written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was published by Frederick Warne & Co for the 1906 Christmas season. Potter was born in London in 1866, and between 1902 and 1905 published a series of small format children's books with Warne. In 1906, she experimented with an atypical panorama design for Miss Moppet, which booksellers disliked; the story was reprinted in 1916 in small book format.Miss Moppet, the story's eponymous main character, is a kitten teased by a mouse. While pursuing him she bumps her head on a cupboard. She then wraps a duster about her head, and sits before the fire "looking very ill". The curious mouse creeps closer, is captured, "and because the Mouse has teased Miss Moppet—Miss Moppet thinks she will tease the Mouse; which is not at all nice of Miss Moppet". She ties him up in the duster and tosses him about. However, the mouse makes his escape, and once safely out of reach, dances a jig atop the cupboard.Although, critically, The Story of Miss Moppet is considered one of Potter's lesser efforts, for young children it is valued as an introduction to books in general, and to the world of Peter Rabbit. The character of Miss Moppet was released as a porcelain figurine in 1954 and a plush toy in 1973. The book has been published in a Braille version, translated into seven languages, and was released in an electronic format in 2005. First editions in the original format are available through antiquarian booksellers.

Q4896486 The Bessie Monroe House is a historic house at 7 Ash Street in Salem, Massachusetts. It is notable as a good example of a Federal style house, and for its survival from planned demolition during Salem's urban renewal of the area in the 1970s. The house, a modest two story brick house located just north of Salem's downtown, was built in 1811 for Thomas Perkins, a local merchant whose brother was its first occupant. When the city began urban renewal planning for the area in the 1960s, the building was occupied by an elderly lady named Bessie Monroe. Out of concerns for her health the city allowed her to remain in the property after its taking, and proceeded with plans that included the demolition of many surrounding properties. However, the delay occasioned by her occupation until her death in 1975 was accompanied by a shift in attitude in the city toward restoring such properties, and it was eventually sold to owners prepared to rehabilitate the property.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Q5874265 Hoad Monument (proper name: the Sir John Barrow Monument) is a 100 ft (30.5 m) tower at the top of Hoad Hill (436 ft/133 m), to the north-east of Ulverston in the Furness area of north-west England. Paid for mainly by public subscription, the monument was erected in 1850 at a cost of £1250. It commemorates Sir John Barrow who was born in Ulverston in 1764. Sir John was a founder member of the Royal Geographical Society, and held various government posts in the 19th century becoming the Second Secretary to the Admiralty.The monument is not a lighthouse: it has never had a functional light. However, it was designed to resemble one, and is similar to the Third Eddystone Lighthouse (Smeaton's Tower). It is a Grade II* listed building, meaning that it is of more than local interest, and the monument stands as one of the iconic symbols of the Northwest of England.It is built of limestone quarried locally at Birkrigg Common. Due to its elevated and exposed position, it is one of the most prominent landmarks in Cumbria. The hollow tower can be ascended via a spiral stone staircase of 112 steps.

Q7070585 Nutting Hall is a historic home located at Pine Grove, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1823-1825, and is a 2 1/2-story, five bay wide frame dwelling, with a 2 1/2-story rear ell and gable roof. The main house measure 40 feet by 60 feet and sits on a stone foundation.It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.The home at 205 South Tulpehocken Street, Pine Grove, PA is the property of Margery Wheeler Mattox, who restored it after it had been converted to rental apartments by the former owner. The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1980, after restoration was completed.Christopher Ley (1695-1745), the grandfather of the home's first owner (Christian Ley, Sr.), came to America from the German Palatinate in 1732, and settled in what is now Myerstown. Christopher and his wife Barbara had nine children, one of whom was Michael (1739-1824). In 1769, at the age of thirty, Michael Ley built Tulpehocken Manor in Myerstown, which is on the National Register and is one of Lebanon County's major historical landmarks. The Leys had ties with General Washington, who visited and stayed at their manor house three times between 1777 and 1794- once on a trip to inspect the Union Canal. Michael Ley held the rank of captain during the American Revolution. Captain Ley was married to Eva M. Lower (1744-1815), and their son Christian Ley (1762-1832), was 32 years old when Washington, as President, last visited their Lebanon County manor house.Christian Ley was state representative for Lebanon and Dauphin Counties from 1799 to 1802. He came to Pine Grove and became associated with many prominent business men of the area- buying and selling large tracts of land. This home was built for Christian's family by Peter Filbert between 1823 and 1825. Until the attic was converted to apartments, Mr. Filbert's name and the 1825 date still appeared as written on the old, original plaster. Christian married Anna Catherine Koppenhoffer (1769-1822) and they had three children: Christian Jr., John and Catherine. Only two years after Christian Sr. died in 1832, his survivors lost the old Tulpehocken Manor to Jacob Loose in a sheriff's sale for back taxes- and, in 1837, they also sold this home in Pine Grove to William Graeff, a tanner who came to Pine Grove around 1825 and opened a large general store. His wife Elizabeth had six children. One daughter, Barbara Ann, married James L. Nutting, and they inherited this home when Mr. Graeff died.James Nutting (1818-1880) came to Pine Grove in 1847 from Maine, as an honor graduate of Law from Bowdoin College. At 24, he entered a firm in Portland, Maine, but turned to the teaching profession. After moving to Pine Grove, he taught in both public and private schools, served as school director, and also entered local coal and iron businesses. Nutting had a very large farm in nearby Brookside. He was planning to return to his law practice when he died unexpectedly at Nutting Hall in the early morning hours of June 25, 1880. He was so respected by the townspeople that the Press Herald devoted three columns to his passing. The present Press Herald staff gave Ms. Wheeler-Mattox a copy of that 1880 issue, which is on display at the house.James and Barbara Nutting had three children, but only one, Annie, survived to adulthood. She married Richard Wigton in the home's backyard, and, just as her mother, she was a sole survivor and inherited the house when Barbara died. The Wigtons had five children: Jeanette, Kathryn, Nutting, Elizabeth and Richard. Richard became the sole owner of the house until he died in 1952, thus marking the first time the home and property had left the family. Reuben and Anne Riggen bought and owned the home for ten years, then sold it to Glenn Schell in 1963. Margery Wheeler Mattox purchased it for restoration from Mr. Schell in 1974 and has remained there ever since.

Q2486065 New York State Route 37B (NY 37B) is an east–west state highway located in St. Lawrence County, New York, in the United States. It serves as a business route of NY 37 through the village of Massena. While NY 37B enters the village, NY 37 bypasses it to the south. The western terminus of the route is at an intersection with NY 37 in the town of Louisville. Its eastern terminus is at a junction with NY 37 just east of the village limits in the town of Massena. NY 37B intersects North Main Street, a state-maintained northward extension of NY 420, in Massena's central district.The origins of NY 37B date back to the early 20th century when the New York State Legislature created Route 32, an unsigned legislative route extending from North Lawrence to Ogdensburg via Massena. From Waddington to Massena, Route 32 followed River Road and Town Line Road. This portion of the route became part of NY 3 in 1924. In the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York, the Waddington–Massena segment of NY 3 became NY 37B. The route was extended east into Massena in the 1950s after NY 37 was realigned to follow a new bypass around the village.Most of NY 37B west of Massena ran through a low-lying area along the St. Lawrence River. In 1958, this area was permanently indundated as part of the St. Lawrence Seaway's construction. As a result, NY 37B was rerouted to follow a new roadway along the fringe of Lake St. Lawrence to meet NY 37 in Louisville Corner. A connector between NY 37 and NY 37B in Louisville was designated as NY 131 by 1960. The alignments of NY 37B and NY 131 west of Massena were swapped c. 1962, placing NY 37B on its modern alignment.

Q3305494 The 1964 Gabonese coup d'état was staged between 17 and 18 February 1964 by Gabonese military officers who rose against Gabonese President Léon M'ba. Before the coup, Gabon was seen as one of the most politically stable countries in Africa. The coup resulted from M'ba's dissolution of the Gabonese legislature on 21 January 1964, and during a takeover with few casualties 150 coup plotters arrested M'ba and a number of his government officials. Through Radio Libreville, they asked the people of Gabon to remain calm and assured them that the country's pro-France foreign policy would remain unchanged. A provisional government was formed, and the coup's leaders installed Deputy Jean-Hilaire Aubame, who was M'ba's primary political opponent and had been uninvolved in the coup, as president. Meanwhile, M'ba was sent to Lambaréné, 250 kilometres (155 mi) from Libreville. There was no major uprising or reaction by the Gabonese people when they received word of the coup, which the military interpreted as a sign of approval.After being informed of the coup by Gabonese Chief of Staff Albert-Bernard Bongo, French President Charles de Gaulle resolved to restore the M'ba government, honoring a 1960 treaty signed between the deposed government and France when Gabon became independent. With the help of French paratroopers, the provisional government was toppled during the night of 19 February and M'ba was reinstated as president. Afterward, M'ba imprisoned more than 150 of his opponents, pledging "no pardon or pity" but rather "total punishment". Aubame was sentenced to 10 years of hard labor and 10 years of exile, a sentence that was later commuted. During this time, the ageing president became increasingly reclusive, opting to stay in his presidential palace under the protection of French troops. Within three years, M'ba was diagnosed with cancer; he died on 28 November 1967.
