The Old Exe Bridge is a ruined medieval bridge in Exeter, England. Built
from around 1190 and completed by 1214, it is the oldest surviving
bridge of its size in England and the oldest bridge in Britain with a
chapel on it. The project was the idea of influential local merchants
Nicholas and Walter Gervase, father and son. The bridge was at least 590
feet (180 metres) long and probably had 17 or 18 arches, carrying the
road across the flood plain of the River Exe. St Edmund's Church, the
bridge chapel, was built into the bridge at the time of its
construction. Later all but the central section carried buildings. The
bridge collapsed and had to be partially rebuilt several times but
remained in use for almost 600 years, until a replacement was built in
1778 and the arches across the river were demolished. In 1969 eight and
a half arches of the medieval bridge were uncovered and restored. The
bridge's remains are a scheduled monument and a Grade II listed
building.

Hoodoo Mountain is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Northern
Interior of British Columbia, Canada. Its flat-topped summit is covered
by an ice cap that is more than 100 metres (330 feet) thick and at least
3 kilometres (2 miles) in diameter, and has an elevation of 1,850 metres
(6,070 feet). The primary rock types comprising the volcano are
phonolite and trachyte, which were deposited during six periods of
eruptive activity beginning about 85,000 years ago. There was at least
one period of explosive activity. The latest eruptive period began
around 10,000 years ago. A lava flow covering the southwestern slope may
have been produced within the last few hundred years. There have been
periods of seismic activity since at least the mid-1980s, indicating
possible future eruptions. Two valley glaciers on the sides of the
mountain have retreated significantly over the last hundred years. The
closest communities are more than 30 kilometres (20 miles) away.

The Battle of Hayes Pond was an armed confrontation between members of a
Ku Klux Klan organization and Native Americans of the Lumbee Tribe at a
Klan rally near Maxton, North Carolina, on the night of January 18,
1958. The rally was planned by Klan leader James W. "Catfish" Cole who
sought to uphold racial segregation in Robeson County. Cole hoped his
gathering would have a large turnout and widely advertised it,
infuriating the Lumbee community. On the night of the rally, hundreds of
Lumbees, many armed, encircled the Klansmen in the field at Hayes Pond
where they had assembled. After an altercation in which the single light
in the field was destroyed, the Lumbees began firing their weapons and
most of the Klansmen fled. The Lumbees then seized Klan regalia before
police restored order. Afterwards, Cole was convicted for inciting a
riot. The event was widely covered in the local and national press.

I've concluded that anarchism is an impractical ideal. Nowadays,
I regard myself as a libertarian. I suppose an anarchist would say,
paraphrasing what Marx said about agnostics being "frightened atheists,"
that libertarians are simply frightened anarchists. Having just stated
the case for the opposition, I will go along and agree with them: yes, I
am frightened. I'm a libertarian because I don't trust the people as
much as anarchists do. I want to see government limited as much as
possible; I would like to see it reduced back to where it was in
Jefferson's time, or even smaller. But I would not like to see it
abolished. I think the average American, if left totally free, would act
exactly like Idi Amin. I don't trust the people any more than I trust

Chinatown MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)
interchange on the North East line (NEL) and Downtown line (DTL) in
Outram, Singapore. It is located near landmarks such as the Buddha Tooth
Relic Temple and Museum, Masjid Jamae (Chulia), Chinatown Point and
People's Park Complex. Announced in 1996 and completed in 2003, the NEL
station was one of the most challenging projects during that line's
construction, requiring diversion of roads, and preservation of the
Garden Bridge. In 2007, an interchange with the DTL at this station was
announced. The DTL platforms opened in 2013. Each of the six entrances
has glass structures, with the Pagoda Street entrance having a pavilion-
style transparent roof structure (pictured) and the DTL entrance having
an elliptical shape. The NEL concourse and platforms feature calligraphy

Ghostbusters is a 1984 American supernatural comedy film directed and
produced by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis.
The comedy film stars Bill Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis as a trio of
eccentric parapsychologists who start a ghost-catching business in New
York City. It also stars Sigourney Weaver (pictured) and Rick Moranis,
and features Annie Potts, William Atherton, and Ernie Hudson in
supporting roles. Ghostbusters was released on June 8, 1984, to
critical acclaim, with Murray's performance often praised, and became a
cultural phenomenon. The film earned $282.2 million during its initial
run, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 1984 in the United
States and Canada, and the then–highest-grossing comedy ever. In 2015,
the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National
Film Registry. With a dedicated fan following, the film's success
launched a multi-billion dollar multimedia franchise, including sequels,
television series, video games, and a reboot of the original.

The Trundle is a hillfort from the Iron Age on St Roche's Hill, north
of Chichester, England. It is built on the site of a causewayed
enclosure, a form of early Neolithic earthwork. Causewayed enclosures
were built in England from shortly before 3700 BC until about 3300 BC;
their purpose is not known. A chapel dedicated to St Roche was built on
the hill around the end of the 14th century; it was in ruins by 1570.
The hillfort is still a substantial earthwork (pictured), but the
Neolithic site was unknown until 1925. Causewayed enclosures were new to
archaeology at the time and an aerial photograph persuaded archaeologist
E. Cecil Curwen to excavate the site in 1928 and 1930. These early digs
established a construction date of about 500 BC to 100 BC for the
hillfort, and proved the existence of the Neolithic site. In 2011 the
Gathering Time project used radiocarbon dating to conclude that the
Neolithic part of the site was probably constructed no earlier than the
mid–4th millennium BC.

There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best
of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
When we look beneath the surface, beneath the impulsive evil deed, we
see within our enemy-neighbor a measure of goodness and know that the
viciousness and evilness of his acts are not quite representative of all
that he is. We see him in a new light. We recognize that his hate grows
out of fear, pride, ignorance, prejudice, and misunderstanding, but in
spite of this, we know God's image is ineffably etched in being. Then we
love our enemies by realizing that they are not totally bad and that
they are not beyond the reach of God's redemptive love.

Low is the 11th studio album by the English musician David Bowie,
released on 14 January 1977 by RCA Records. Grounded in art rock and
experimental rock, Low features Bowie's first explorations in electronic
and ambient styles. Recording sessions began at Château d'Hérouville
in northern France in September 1976 and ended in October at Hansa
Studios in West Berlin. The cover artwork, a profile of Bowie from the
film The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), was intended as a visual pun,
meaning "low profile". RCA refused to issue Low for three months,
fearing it would be a commercial failure. Upon release, it divided
critical opinion and received little promotion from either RCA or Bowie.
Nevertheless, the album reached number two in the UK and number eleven
in the US. Two singles were released: "Sound and Vision" and "Be My
Wife". In later decades, critics have rated Low one of Bowie's best
works, and it has appeared on several lists of the greatest albums of
all time.

Blakeney Chapel is a ruined building on the Norfolk coast of England.
Despite its name, it is in the parish of Cley next the Sea, not the
adjoining village of Blakeney, and was probably not a chapel. The
building stood on a mound or "eye" (pictured) on the seaward end of the
coastal marshes, less than 200 m (220 yd) from the sea and just north
of the current channel of the River Glaven where it turns to run
parallel to the shoreline. It consisted of two rectangular rooms of
unequal size, and appears to be intact in a 1586 map. Only the
foundations and part of a wall still remain. A small hearth, probably
used for smelting iron, is the only evidence of a specific activity.
Much of the structural material was reused in nearby buildings long ago.
The ruins are protected as a scheduled monument and Grade II listed
building due to their historical importance, but are not actively
managed. A realignment of the Glaven's course through the marshes
accelerated the ruins' likely loss to the sea.

Mu'awiya I (c. 600 – 680) was the founder and first caliph of the
Umayyad Caliphate, serving from 661 until his death. He acceded less
than thirty years after the Islamic prophet Muhammad's death and shortly
after the four Rashidun caliphs. He embraced Islam after Muhammad's
conquest of Mecca in 630. Afterward, Mu'awiya became one of his scribes
and, by the 640s, the governor of Syria. After Caliph Uthman was
assassinated in 656, Mu'awiya opposed his successor, Ali. They fought to
a stalemate during the First Muslim Civil War. When Ali was assassinated
in 661, Mu'awiya compelled Ali's son Hasan to abdicate. As caliph,
Mu'awiya relied on his Syrian supporters and conferred autonomy to the
provinces. He fought the Byzantines throughout his reign, and renewed
the Muslim conquests. His controversial appointment of his son Yazid I
as successor introduced dynastic rule to Islamic politics. Mu'awiya is
honored by Sunni Muslims as a companion of Muhammad, but reviled by Shia
Muslims for opposing Ali.

The Croatian Spring was a political conflict that took place from 1967
to 1971 in the Socialist Republic of Croatia, at the time one of six
republics comprising Yugoslavia and ruled by the League of Communists of
Croatia (SKH). It was marked by a series of economic reforms. Reformers
within the SKH, aligned with the Croatian cultural society Matica
hrvatska, came into conflict with conservatives. A variety of grievances
were aired, including demands for increased autonomy, opposition to real
or perceived overrepresentation of Croatian Serbs in Croatia and
disagreement over whether the Croatian language was distinct from Serbo-
Croatian. The conflict also increased the popularity of expressions of
Croatian culture. Plans were made to amend the constitution. The
Yugoslav leadership intervened, compelling the SKH leadership to resign
(headline pictured). Nevertheless, most demands were later adopted,
ushering in a form of federalism that contributed to the subsequent
breakup of Yugoslavia.
