Hurricane Gordon was the third hurricane and first major hurricane of
the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the first tropical cyclone
since 1992 to affect the Azores while retaining tropical
characteristics. Gordon formed on September 10 in the tropical Atlantic
Ocean. It gradually matured into a hurricane as it tracked northward,
reaching its peak intensity with winds of 195 km/h (121 mph) early on
September 14 while located about 925 km (575 mi) southeast of
Bermuda. It weakened after moving over cooler waters, and passed through
the Azores on September 20. Wind gusts reached hurricane force on
Santa Maria Island, but the Azores sustained little damage. Gordon then
became an extratropical cyclone and affected Spain, Ireland, and the
United Kingdom. In Spain, wind gusts reached 183 km/h (114 mph) along
the northwest coast, left 100,000 people without power, and injured five
people. In Northern Ireland, high winds left 120,000 people without
power and caused one injury.

The Bread-Winners is an 1883 anti-labor novel by John Hay, who was
Assistant Secretary to the President under Abraham Lincoln, and
McKinley's final secretary of state. Originally published anonymously in
installments in The Century Magazine, the book attracted wide interest
and provoked considerable speculation over the author's identity. Hay
wrote his only novel as a reaction to several strikes that affected him
and his business interests in the 1870s and early 1880s. In the main
storyline, a wealthy former army captain, Arthur Farnham, organizes
Civil War veterans to keep the peace when the Bread-winners, a group of
lazy and malcontented workers, call a violent general strike. Hay left
hints as to his identity in the novel, and some guessed right, but he
never acknowledged the book as his, and it did not appear with his name
on it until after his death in 1905. Hay's hostile view of organized
labor was soon seen as outdated, and the book is best remembered for its
onetime popularity and controversial nature.

The flora of Madagascar consists of more than 12,000 species of vascular
and non-vascular plants. Around 83 per cent of Madagascar's vascular
plants are found only on the island. These include five entirely endemic
plant families as well as most of the over 900 orchid species, the
traveller's tree, the Madagascar periwinkle, six species of baobab
(pictured) and around 200 species of palms. The high degree of endemism
is due to Madagascar's long isolation following its separation from the
African and Indian landmasses in the Mesozoic Era. Today, humid forests,
including the lowland forests, are found on the eastern plateau. Much of
the central highlands is grassland. In the west are dry forest and
succulent woodland. Unique spiny thickets are in the southwest, and
mangroves occur on the west coast. While 10 per cent of the land
surface is protected, much of the native flora is threatened, especially
through dramatic deforestation.

The Tweed Courthouse (officially the Old New York County Courthouse) is
a historic courthouse building in Civic Center, Manhattan, New York
City. Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and
protected as a New York City designated landmark, it is the second-
oldest city-government building in Manhattan, after City Hall. It was
built in the Italianate style, with Romanesque Revival interiors, under
the leadership of William M. "Boss" Tweed, whose political machine,
Tammany Hall, controlled the city and state governments when the
courthouse was built. Architect John Kellum designed the original two
wings of the building, which was constructed from 1861 to 1872. The
project was completed by architect Leopold Eidlitz, who added the rear
wing and finished the interior between 1877 and 1881. Modern restoration
and historic preservation were completed in 2001.

The Battle of the Bagradas River was a victory by a Carthaginian army
led by Xanthippus over a Roman army led by Marcus Atilius Regulus in
early 255 BC, nine years into the First Punic War. The previous year
Roman forces had advanced on the city of Carthage in North Africa and
defeated the Carthaginian army at the Battle of Adys. In despair, the
Carthaginians sued for peace, but the proposed terms were so harsh they
decided to fight on. They gave charge of their army to the Spartan
mercenary general Xanthippus, who led 12,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry and
100 war elephants (statuette pictured) against the Romans' 15,000
infantry and 500 cavalry. The Romans had no effective answer to the
elephants, their outnumbered cavalry were chased from the field, and
most of their infantry were surrounded and wiped out. The Romans
subsequently evacuated Africa. The war ended in 241 BC with a Roman
victory; the terms agreed were more generous than those proposed
14 years earlier.

Ismail I (1279–1325) was the fifth Nasrid ruler of the Emirate of
Granada (map pictured) on the Iberian Peninsula, from 1314 to 1325. He
claimed the throne during the reign of his uncle, Sultan Nasr, after a
rebellion started by his father Abu Said Faraj. Ismail was proclaimed
sultan in February 1314. He spent the early years of his reign fighting
Nasr, who attempted to regain the throne after enlisting the help of
Castile. The war reached its climax in the Battle of the Vega in 1319, a
complete victory for Ismail's forces over Castile. The deaths in the
battle of Infante Peter and Infante John, the two regents for the infant
King Alfonso XI, left Castile leaderless. Ismail followed up his
victory with the capture of castles on the Castilian border in 1324 and
1325. He was murdered by his relative Muhammad ibn Ismail. Historians
characterise Ismail as an effective ruler who improved the emirate's
position with military victories.

wanted to try to build a bridge of words between me and that world
outside, that world which was so distant and elusive that it seemed
unreal. I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and

The cactus wren (Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus) is a large wren that
is endemic to the deserts of the US and Mexico. It is the state bird of
Arizona. The wren's upperparts are brown with black and white spots and
the underparts are cinnamon-buff with a whiter breast; it has striking
white eyebrows. The song is loud and raspy. Cactus wrens are ground
feeders and eat mainly insects, with some plant material; they can meet
their water needs from their diet. The wrens use saguaro and cholla
cacti as nesting sites, which provide protection for their large bulky
nests and their young. The wrens are non-migratory and territorial
around their nests. Pairs are monogamous; males build nests, females
incubate eggs, and both parents feed chicks. Populations have declined
due to human activities, habitat loss and introduced species including
cats, but the wrens still number in the millions. The species is classed
as being of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature.

The Third Silesian War was a conflict between Prussia and an Austrian
alliance that lasted from 1756 to 1763 and confirmed Prussia's control
of Silesia (now in south-western Poland). The war was fought mainly in
Silesia, Bohemia and Upper Saxony and formed one theatre of the Seven
Years' War. It can be viewed as a continuation of the First and Second
Silesian Wars of the previous decade. The war was costly on both sides
and ended inconclusively when neither of the main belligerents could
sustain the conflict any longer. The war began with a Prussian invasion
of Saxony in mid-1756, and it ended in a Prussian diplomatic victory
with the 1763 Treaty of Hubertusburg. The conflict formed part of the
ongoing Austria–Prussia rivalry that would shape German politics for
more than a century. The war enhanced the prestige of Prussia, which was
recognised as a major European power, and of Frederick, who cemented his
reputation as a preeminent military commander. (This article is part of
a featured topic: Silesian Wars.).

Vespro della Beata Vergine (Vespers for the Blessed Virgin) by Claudio
Monteverdi is an extended composition for the evening vespers on Marian
feasts, printed in 1610. The composer set the usual Latin psalms and
Magnificat, but also solo concertos in the style of the emerging opera.
The ambitious composition, which uses traditional Gregorian chant as
cantus firmus, is scored for soloists, choirs of up to ten parts, and
orchestra. Monteverdi wrote it when he was maestro di capella in Mantua,
where he served as musician and composer for the Gonzagas, the Dukes of
Mantua. He had it printed in Venice, with a dedication to Pope Paul V
dated 1 September 1610 (pages from a copy pictured). He then travelled
to Rome to deliver it to Pope Paul in person. Monteverdi became director
of music at San Marco in Venice in 1613. His Vespers represent a
milestone of music history at the transition from Renaissance to Baroque
styles.
