Question: The recent IPCC assessment highlighted that current efforts fall significantly short of achieving the targets set by the Paris Agreement's climate goals.

 Urgent Call to Action: Meeting Paris Agreement Targets
Last week’s alarming update from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), emphasized humanity's stark deviation from achieving its ambitious goals set forth during the historic Paris Accord. Published under the title ‘Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C’, the comprehensive analysis, released on Oct 8, 2018, involved meticulous review across more than six thousand research papers contributed by ninety-one experts representing forty nations. Stemming back to the pivotal UN Climate Summit held in late-December 2015, the study aimed to provide policymakers with robust evidence-based guidelines necessary for combating escalating temperatures. Its central message underscored the feasibility yet urgency required to cap planetary heating below 1.5 degrees Celsius - achievable only via drastic emission cuts coupled with transformative societal shifts spanning every sector imaginable. Moreover, limiting temperature rise strictly within this threshold promises significant mitigation against dire ecological consequences affecting both flora & fauna alongside safeguarding public welfare; conversely exceeding two-degree mark invites intensified meteorological anomalies, accelerated oceanic expansion, dwindling polar ice coverage, widespread coral reef devastation, plus irreversible damage inflicted upon countless biological communities globally. According to simulations outlined herein, attaining sub-1.5 degree scenario mandates slashing anthropogenic CO2 output roughly halfway down since baseline year(2010)by mid-century deadline(around ’50). Such stringent targets necessitate immediate implementation encompassing swift de-carbonization strategies highlighted throughout media outlets universally.

This response maintains equivalent sentence structure, vocabulary level, and thematic coherence while preserving original intent behind comparative assertion regarding recent IPCC publication emphasizing criticality surrounding adherence towards established international environmental benchmarks.

A recession is a slowdown in economic activity over a sustained period of time .

Return on Investment ( ROI ) is the benefit to an investor resulting from an investment of some resource . A high ROI means the investment gains compare favorably to investment cost . As a performance measure , ROI is used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments . In purely economic terms , it is one way of considering profits in relation to capital invested .

The Report of the Secretary-General 's Panel of Experts on Accountability in Sri Lanka was a 2011 report produced by a panel of experts appointed by United Nations Secretary-General ( UNSG ) Ban Ki-moon to advise him on the issue of accountability with regard to any alleged violations of international human rights and humanitarian law during the final stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War . The report is referred to by some as the Darusman Report , after the name of the chairman of the panel ( Indonesian politician Marzuki Darusman ) .   The panel 's work revealed `` a very different version of the final stages of the war than that maintained to this day by the Government of Sri Lanka '' . The panel found `` credible allegations '' which , if proven , indicated that war crimes and crimes against humanity were committed by the Sri Lankan military and the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam ( Tamil Tigers ) . The panel concluded that `` the conduct of the war represented a grave assault on the entire regime of international law designed to protect individual dignity during both war and peace '' . The panel found that as many as 40,000 civilians may have been killed in the final months of the civil war , most as a result of indiscriminate shelling by the Sri Lankan military . The panel has called on the UNSG to conduct an independent international investigation into the alleged violations of international humanitarian and human rights law committed by both sides . The Sri Lankan government has rejected the entire report , calling it `` fundamentally flawed in many respects '' , and as being based on `` patently biased '' and unverified material .   A competing report was produced by Sri Lanka 's Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission ( LLRC ) . In 2012 , the United Nations Human Rights Commission ( UNHRC ) issued a statement welcoming the publication of this report ( while acknowledging problems therein ) and urging the Sri Lankan government to follow up by working with the UNHRC . The LLRC report has been praised in Sri Lanka , but criticised by opponents of the island 's government .

The Dignitatis Humanae Institute ( DHI ) , also known as the Institute for Human Dignity and L'Istituto Dignitatis Humanae , is a Catholic-inspired NGO based in Rome . Its mission is to `` protect and promote human dignity based on the anthropological truth that man is born in the image and likeness of God . '' The primary aim of the DHI is `` to promote this vision of authentic human dignity mainly by supporting Christians in public life , assisting them in presenting effective and coherent responses to increasing efforts to silence the Christian voice in the public square . '' The DHI coordinates several parliamentary working groups on human dignity based in various legislatures throughout the world and also hosts the annual invitation-only International Conference on Human Dignity , in Rome , which was held at the Vatican in 2013 .

Relative deprivation is the lack of resources to sustain the diet , lifestyle , activities and amenities that an individual or group are accustomed to or that are widely encouraged or approved in the society to which they belong . Measuring relative deprivation allows an objective comparison between the situation of the individual or group compared to the rest of society . Relative deprivation may also emphasise the individual experience of discontent when being deprived of something to which one believes oneself to be entitled , however emphasizing the perspective of the individual makes objective measurement problematic .   It is a term used in social sciences to describe feelings or measures of economic , political , or social deprivation that are relative rather than absolute . The term is inextricably linked to the similar terms poverty and social exclusion . The concept of relative deprivation has important consequences for both behavior and attitudes , including feelings of stress , political attitudes , and participation in collective action . It is relevant to researchers studying multiple fields in social sciences . It has sometimes been related to the biological concept of relative fitness , where an organism that successfully outproduces its competitors leaves more copies in the gene pool .   Social scientists , particularly political scientists and sociologists , have cited ` relative deprivation ' ( especially temporal relative deprivation ) as a potential cause of social movements and deviance , leading in extreme situations to political violence such as rioting , terrorism , civil wars and other instances of social deviance such as crime . For example , some scholars of social movements explain their rise by citing grievances of people who feel deprived of what they perceive as values to which they are entitled . Similarly , individuals engage in deviant behaviors when their means do not match their goals .   Recently , the opposite of relative deprivation , the concept of relative gratification has emerged in social psychology .

Reference Intakes ( RIs ) are a means of communicating maximum recommended nutrient intake to the public . Reference Intakes replaced the term Guideline Daily Amount ( GDA ) , although the principles behind both are the same . The major difference is that GDAs existed for men , women and children ; there is only one set of RIs for an average adult .   The values for the nutrients are all maximums , not targets . The information is for guidance only and should not be considered individual advice .   The change from GDA to RI on labels on pre-packaged food and drinks sold in the UK is due to a European Regulation . The intention of the EU Regulation is to harmonise across Europe the content , expression and presentation of the nutrition information given to consumers .   Since RIs are for an average adult , concerns have been raised by major retailers and manufacturers that they may face criticism for misrepresenting the contribution to the diet of products targeted at children , particularly given concerns around children 's diet and obesity levels .   RIs can be combined with traffic light labeling to make the information easily and rapidly understood .

Referativny Zhurnal ( or Referativnyi Zhurnal ) ( '' Реферати́вный журна́л '' , lit .

Question: The recent IPCC assessment highlighted that current efforts fall significantly short of achieving the targets set by the Paris Agreement.

 Urgent Call to Action: Falling Short of Paris Agreement Goals

Last week’s alarming report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underscored humanity’s dire predicament regarding global warming targets set forth under the historic Paris Agreement. According to leading scientists, current trajectories indicate we’re nowhere near achieving those ambitious goals aimed at curbing catastrophic climate change. Since the late 1800s, mounting evidence reveals Earth’s climate system undergoing rapid transformation—primarily attributed to escalating greenhouse gas concentrations, chiefly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Anthropogenic influences, particularly post World War II, have significantly exacerbated temperatures globally; models predict additional rises ranging from 0.3°C to 4.8°C across various scenarios through 2100.

The consensus reached within influential academic circles endorses the notion that human actions dominate contemporary planetary heating trends—a perspective shared universally amongst reputable institutions dedicated to advancing knowledge concerning environmental matters. Regional disparities notwithstanding, forecasted outcomes encompass widespread thermal increases alongside concurrent phenomena such as accelerated sea-level ascent, altered precipitation cycles, desertification intensifications, etcetera. Extreme meteorological occurrences – heatwaves, drought spells, torrential rains culminating into flash flooding episodes, heavier snowfalls - coupled with marine pH alterations pose severe challenges impacting terrestrial ecosystems’ viability.

Human welfare remains imperiled too, jeopardizing agricultural productivity amidst dwindling harvest outputs and forcing mass migrations away from inundation-prone territories. Given inherent lags intrinsic to atmospheric-oceanic dynamics plus lingering GHG lifespans, residual consequences shall linger indefinitely spanning multiple generations henceforth. Mitigation strategies entailing drastic reductions in polluting discharges complemented by adaptive measures geared toward fortifying infrastructural resilience against projected adversities represent viable pathways forward. Additionally, exploring novel geoengineering techniques might offer supplementary avenues worth pursuing albeit cautiously considering unforeseen repercussions potentially arising thereof.

Despite ratifications binding nearly every nation-state party onto frameworks delineating stringent decarbonization blueprints pursuant to averting perilous degrees of artificial climatological perturbations, actual progress appears woefully inadequate thus far. Popular sentiments vis-a-vis ecological crises appear gradually crystallizing nonetheless; recent surveys conducted across diverse geopolitical landscapes reveal growing apprehensions encapsulated succinctly via phrases akin to ‘grave concerns’. Notwithstanding perceptible variances attributable partly to cultural predispositions especially discernable when juxtaposing Western hemispheric attitudes versus Eastern counterparts typified exempli gratia USA-China dyad, overarching awareness pertaining urgency necessitating concerted remediation endeavors seems steadily gaining traction amongst

The mission of the Department of Essential Drugs and Medicines of the World Health Organization is `` to help save lives and improve health by closing the huge gap between the potential that essential drugs have to offer and the reality that for millions of people -- particularly the poor and disadvantaged -- medicines are unavailable , unaffordable , unsafe or improperly used . ''   The EDM provides `` global guidance on essential drugs and medicines , and working with countries -- at their request -- to implement national drug policies to ensure equity of access to essential drugs , drug quality and safety , and rational use of drugs .

The knowledge divide is the gap in standards of living between those who can find , create , manage , process , and disseminate information or knowledge , and those who are impaired in this process . According to a 2005 UNESCO World Report , the rise in the 21st century of a global information society has resulted in the emergence of knowledge as a valuable resource , increasingly determining who has access to power and profit . The rapid dissemination of information on a potentially global scale as a result of new information media and the globally uneven ability to assimilate knowledge and information has resulted in potentially expanding gaps in knowledge between individuals and nations .

Manfred Steger , professor of Global Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa argues that globalization has four main dimensions : economic , political , cultural , ecological , with ideological aspects of each category . David Held 's book Global Transformations is organized around the same dimensions , though the ecological is not listed in the title . This set of categories relates to the four-domain approach of circles of social life , and Circles of Sustainability .   Steger compares the current study of globalization to the ancient Buddhist parable of blind scholars and their first encounter with an elephant . Similar to the blind scholars , some globalization scholars are too focused on compacting globalization into a singular process and clashes over `` which aspect of social life constitutes its primary domain '' prevail .

A recall election ( also called a recall referendum or representative recall ) is a procedure by which voters can remove an elected official from office through a direct vote before their term has ended . Recalls , which are initiated when sufficient voters sign a petition , have a history dating back to the ancient Athenian democracy and are a feature of several contemporary constitutions . In indirect or representative democracy people 's representatives are elected and these representatives rule for a specific period of time . But if any representative is not properly discharging their responsibilities , then they can be called back with the written request of specific number of voters .

Question: Yet akin to numerous assertions concerning climate change, the genuine impact tends to be minor, potentially fleeting, and predominantly attributable to inherent atmospheric fluctuations.

 Questioning Extent & Causes: An Alternative Viewpoint on Global Warming
While widespread consensus points to escalating temperatures linked to human actions, some argue that much of what we perceive as global warming might actually stem from transient phenomena influenced heavily by nature’s inherent variability. Critics suggest attributing recent climate shifts solely to man-made emissions oversimplifies complex atmospheric dynamics. They emphasize how historical data reveals cyclical periods of cooling followed by warmer spells - suggesting current trends could merely reflect recurring planetary cycles rather than irreversible damage inflicted upon ecosystems through excessive industrial output alone.
Skeptics highlight uncertainties surrounding predictions based purely on computer models calibrated using past meteorological readings; they contend these simulations often fail accurately account for unpredictable elements governing weather patterns across vast geographical expanses spanning continents oceans alike. Furthermore, proponents maintaining cooler perspectives remind us even respected institutions occasionally revise earlier assertions concerning severity urgency needed tackle perceived threats posed mankind’s insatiable appetite consume finite resources without considering longer-term repercussions resulting unchecked exploitation Mother Nature provides abundantly yet remains fragile balance requiring vigilant stewardship preserve integrity delicate web life supporting all inhabitants regardless size shape form function location universe.
Intriguingly enough, alternative explanations proposed range widely encompassing everything cosmic rays impacting cloud formation leading lower albedo values higher absorption solar radiation earth surface level, volcanic eruptions spewing ash particulate matter blocking sunlight reaching terrestrial surfaces causing temporary dips mean yearly averages subsequently rebounding once skies clear again, variations sunspot activity modulating amount energy emitted star varying intervals thus affecting overall thermal equilibrium maintained within biosphere etcetera et cetera ad nauseam… Ultimately though, irrespective whichever camp one subscribes too – whether convinced apocalyptic scenarios looming horizon unless drastic measures implemented immediately mitigate impending doom OR remain unconvinced alarmist rhetoric devoid factual basis designed incite panic justify imposition draconian regulations infringing personal freedoms unnecessarily – fact remains ongoing debate crucial ensuring informed decisions taken moving forward safeguard interests generations come.

In medicine and allied fields , diathesis ( from Greek διάθεσις ) is a hereditary or constitutional predisposition to a disease or other disorder .   Atopic diathesis is a predisposition to develop one or more of hay fever , allergic rhinitis , bronchial asthma , or atopic dermatitis .

Race and health refers to the relationship between individual health and one 's race and ethnicity . Differences in health status , health outcomes , life expectancy , and many other indicators of health in different racial and ethnic groups is well documented , referred to as health disparities . Race is a complex concept , and the two major competing theories of race use biological definitions and social construction to define racial difference . Although this relationship can vary depending on the definitions used , race is generally used in the context of health research as a fluid concept to group populations of people according to various factors that include but are not limited to ancestry , social identity , visible phenotype , and genetic makeup . Determinants of health include environmental , social , and genetic factors , as well as the person 's individual characteristics and behaviors .

Ready-made garments are mass-produced finished textile products of the clothing industry . They are not custom tailored according to measurements , but rather generalized according to anthropometric studies . They are made from many different fabrics and yarns . Their characteristics depend on the fibers used in their manufacture . Ready-made garments are divided into the following types : Outer clothing : workwear and uniform , leisure wear , sportswear ( e.g. suits , pants , dresses , ladies ' suits , blouse , blazers , jackets , cardigans , pullovers , coats , sports jackets , skirts , shirts ( short - or long-sleeved ) , ties , jeans , shorts , T-shirts , polo shirts , sports shirts , tracksuits , bathing shorts , bathing suits , bikinis etc. ) Underclothing ( underwear ) : jersey goods , lingerie ( e.g. underpants , undershirts , briefs , socks , stockings , and pantyhose )

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element . In electronic circuits , resistors are used to reduce current flow , adjust signal levels , to divide voltages , bias active elements , and terminate transmission lines , among other uses . High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat may be used as part of motor controls , in power distribution systems , or as test loads for generators .  Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature , time or operating voltage . Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements ( such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer ) , or as sensing devices for heat , light , humidity , force , or chemical activity .   Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are ubiquitous in electronic equipment . Practical resistors as discrete components can be composed of various compounds and forms . Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits .   The electrical function of a resistor is specified by its resistance : common commercial resistors are manufactured over a range of more than nine orders of magnitude . The nominal value of the resistance falls within the manufacturing tolerance , indicated on the component .

A raga ( IAST : rāga ; also raag or ragam ; literally `` coloring , tingeing , dyeing '' ) is akin to a melodic mode in Indian classical music . While the raga is a remarkable and central feature of classical Indian music tradition , it has no direct translation to concepts in the classical European music tradition . Each raga is an array of melodic structures with musical motifs , considered in the Indian tradition to have the ability to `` color the mind '' and affect the emotions of the audience .   A raga consists of at least five notes , and each raga provides the musician with a musical framework . The specific notes within a raga can be reordered and improvised by the musician , but a specific raga is either ascending or descending . Each raga has an emotional significance and symbolic associations such as with season , time and mood . The raga is considered a means in Indian musical tradition to evoke certain feelings in an audience . Hundreds of raga are recognized in the classical Indian tradition , of which about 30 are common . Each raga , state Dorothea E. Hast and others , has its `` own unique melodic personality '' .   There are two main classical Indian music traditions , North Indian ( Hindustani ) and South Indian ( Carnatic ) , and the concept of raga is shared by both . Raga are also found in Sikh traditions such as in Guru Granth Sahib , the primary scripture of Sikhism . Similarly it is a part of the qawwali tradition found in Sufi Islamic communities of South Asia . Some popular Indian film songs and ghazals use rāgas in their compositions .

Rhinogradentia is a fictitious order of mammal invented by German zoologist Gerolf Steiner . Members of the order , known as rhinogrades or snouters , are characterized by a nose-like feature called a nasorium , which evolved to fulfill a wide variety of functions in different species . Steiner also created a fictional persona , naturalist Harald Stümpke , who is credited as author of the 1957 book Bau und Leben der Rhinogradentia ( translated into English in 1967 as The Snouters : Form and Life of the Rhinogrades ) . According to Steiner , it is the only remaining record of the animals , which were wiped out , along with all the world 's Rhinogradentia researchers , when the small Pacific archipelago they inhabited sank into the ocean due to nearby atomic bomb testing .   Successfully mimicking a genuine scientific work , Rhinogradentia has appeared in several publications without any note of its fictitious nature , sometimes in connection with April Fools ' Day .

16 ( sixteen ) is the natural number following 15 and preceding 17 . 16 is a composite number , and a square number , being 42 = 4 × 4 . It is the smallest number with exactly five divisors , its proper divisors being , , and .   In speech , the numbers 16 and 60 are often confused . When carefully enunciated , they differ in which syllable is stressed : 16 -LSB- sɪksˈtiːn -RSB- vs 60 -LSB- ˈsɪksti -RSB- . However , in dates such as 1666 or when contrasting numbers in the teens , such as 15 , 16 , 17 , the stress shifts to the first syllable : 16 -LSB- ˈsɪkstiːn -RSB- .   Sixteen is the fourth power of two . For this reason , 16 was used in weighing light objects in several cultures . The British have 16 ounces in one pound ; the Chinese used to have 16 liangs in one jin . In old days , weighing was done with a beam balance to make equal splits . It would be easier to split a heap of grains into sixteen equal parts through successive divisions than to split into ten parts . Chinese Taoists did finger computation on the trigrams and hexagrams by counting the finger tips and joints of the fingers with the tip of the thumb . Each hand can count up to 16 in such manner . The Chinese abacus uses two upper beads to represent the 5s and 5 lower beads to represent the 1s , the 7 beads can represent a hexadecimal digit from 0 to 15 in each column . In a 24-hour clock , the sixteenth hour is in conventional language called four or four o'clock .

A ribbon or riband is a thin band of material , typically cloth but also plastic or sometimes metal , used primarily as decorative binding and tying . Cloth ribbons are made of natural materials such as silk , velvet , cotton , and jute and of synthetic materials , such as polyester , nylon , and polyproylene . Ribbon is used for innumerable useful , ornamental , and symbolic purposes . Cultures around the world use ribbon in their hair , around the body , and as ornamentation on non-human animals , buildings , and packaging . Some popular fabrics used to make ribbons are satin , organza , sheer , silk , velvet , and grosgrain .

Labia stretching , also referred to as labia elongation or labia pulling , is the act of lengthening the labia minora through manual manipulation ( pulling ) or physical equipment ( such as weights ) . It is a familial cultural practice in parts of Eastern and Sub-Saharan Africa , and a body modification practice elsewhere . It is performed for sexual enhancement of both partners , aesthetics , symmetry and gratification .

A declaration of war is a formal act by which one state goes to war against another . The declaration is a performative speech act ( or the signing of a document ) by an authorized party of a national government , in order to create a state of war between two or more states .   The legality of who is competent to declare war varies between nations and forms of government . In many nations , that power is given to the head of state or sovereign . In other cases , something short of a full declaration of war , such as a letter of marque or a covert operation , may authorise war-like acts by privateers or mercenaries . The official international protocol for declaring war was defined in the Hague Convention ( III ) of 1907 on the Opening of Hostilities .   Since 1945 , developments in international law such as the United Nations Charter , which prohibits both the threat and the use of force in international conflicts , have made declarations of war largely obsolete in international relations . In addition to this , non-state or terrorist organizations may claim to or be described as `` declaring war '' when engaging in violent acts . These declarations may have no legal standing in themselves , but they may still act as a call to arms for supporters of these organizations .


Question:
 Sediment analysis in coastal lakes situated on the Gulf Coast dating back between one thousand to two millennia indicates that hurricane frequency and intensity were notably higher compared to contemporary times.
```

 Historical Hurricane Activity Along the Gulf Coast
Historical analysis suggests that coastal regions bordering the Gulf of Mexico experienced significantly higher frequency and intensity of hurricane events approximately 1,000-2,000 years ago compared to contemporary times. Sedimentary deposits found within lakes near the coastline provide evidence supporting this theory; they indicate periods of increased storm surges consistent with major hurricane landfalls during prehistoric eras.
This insight into ancient tempests comes courtesy of paleotempestology -a scientific discipline focusing specifically upon reconstructing historic tropical cyclones through examination of geological markers alongside archival data sources when available-. Coined initially by meteorologist Dr.Kerry Emanuel back around late twentieth century timeframe.,this field continues expanding knowledge regarding long-term variability seen across different climates globally but particularly concerning those areas prone severe weather phenomena like gulf coast states here United States where understanding past occurrences helps inform future planning mitigation strategies necessary safeguard communities vulnerable impacts associated powerful storms moving forward.

A Lagerstätte ( -LSB- ˈlaːɡɐˌʃtɛtə -RSB- , from Lager ` storage , lair ' Stätte ` place ' ; plural Lagerstätten ) is a sedimentary deposit that exhibits extraordinary fossils with exceptional preservation -- sometimes including preserved soft tissues . These formations may have resulted from carcass burial in an anoxic environment with minimal bacteria , thus delaying decomposition . Lagerstätten span geological time from the Neoproterozoic era to the present . Worldwide , some of the best examples of near-perfect fossilization are the Cambrian Maotianshan shales and Burgess Shale , the Devonian Hunsrück Slates and Gogo Formation , the Carboniferous Mazon Creek , the Jurassic Solnhofen limestone , the Cretaceous Santana and Yixian formations , and the Eocene Green River Formation .

Lake Tahoe ( -LSB- ˈtɑːhoʊ -RSB- ) is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada of the United States . Lying at 6225 ft , it straddles the border between California and Nevada , west of Carson City . Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America , and at 122160280 acre.ft trails only the five Great Lakes as the largest by volume in the United States . Its depth is 1645 ft , making it the second deepest in the United States after Crater Lake in Oregon ( 1945 ft ) .   The lake was formed about 2 million years ago as part of the Lake Tahoe Basin , with the modern extent being shaped during the ice ages . It is known for the clarity of its water and the panorama of surrounding mountains on all sides . The area surrounding the lake is also referred to as Lake Tahoe , or simply Tahoe . More than 75 % of the lake 's watershed is national forest land , comprising the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit of the United States Forest Service .   Lake Tahoe is a major tourist attraction in both Nevada and California . It is home to winter sports , summer outdoor recreation , and scenery enjoyed throughout the year . Snow and ski resorts are a significant part of the area 's economy and reputation . The Nevada side also offers large casinos , with highways providing year-round access to the entire area .

Lamanai ( from Lama'anayin , `` submerged crocodile '' in Yucatec Maya ) is a Mesoamerican archaeological site , and was once a major city of the Maya civilization , located in the north of Belize , in Orange Walk District . The site 's name is pre-Columbian , recorded by early Spanish missionaries , and documented over a millennium earlier in Maya inscriptions as Lam ` an ` ain . Lamanai is renowned for its exceptionally long occupation spanning three millennia , beginning in the Early Preclassic Maya period and continuing through the Spanish and British Colonial periods , into the 20th century . Unlike most Classic-period sites in the southern Maya lowlands , Lamanai was not abandoned at the end of the 10th century AD .

Lago d'Origlio is a lake in the municipality of Origlio , in Ticino , Switzerland .   Palaeobotanics studied the core of the lake sediment and discovered charcoal deposits as well as cereal pollen and invasive weeds , pointing to the first agricultural activities between 7,500 and 5,000 years ago , when people burned forests to clear space for farmland and pastures .

The Red Barn is an historic barn located on the Brighton Seminole Indian Reservation in Glades County , Florida . It was built in 1941 with help from the Civilian Conservation Corps to serve the Seminole cattle business . It has a dirt floor and rests on a concrete block foundation . Its roof was replaced with a metal one after Hurricane Wilma in 2005 . On December 24 , 2008 , it was added to the National Register of Historic Places .

The Latah Formation is a series of late Miocene lacustrine sedimentary deposits which outcrop in eastern Washington and northwestern Idaho . The lake beds are interbedded with igneous rock of the Columbia River Basalt Group . The formation was originally named from a site in Spokane , Washington by Dr. Kirk Bryan in 1923 . Numerous fossil plants and insects have been recovered from the formation and described . When first described the formation was thought to have predated the deposition of the Columbia River Basalts , however further investigation showed them to be interbedded , being laid down in successive events . Potassium-argon dating of the formation returned an age range of 21.3 to 12.1 million years old , indicating an Early to Middle Miocene age range .

Diagenesis ( -LSB- pronˌdaɪəˈdʒɛnᵻsɪs -RSB- ) is the change of sediments or existing sedimentary rocks into a different sedimentary rock during and after rock formation ( lithification ) , at temperatures and pressures less than that required for the formation of metamorphic rocks.Marshak , Stephen , 2009 , Essentials of Geology , W. W. Norton & Company , 3rd ed . ISBN 978-0393196566 It does not include changes from weathering . It is any chemical , physical , or biological change undergone by a sediment after its initial deposition , after its lithification . This process excludes surface alteration ( weathering ) and metamorphism . These changes happen at relatively low temperatures and pressures and result in changes to the rock 's original mineralogy and texture . There is no sharp boundary between diagenesis and metamorphism , but the latter occurs at higher temperatures and pressures than the former . Hydrothermal solutions , meteoric groundwater , porosity , permeability , solubility , and time are all influential factors .   After deposition , sediments are compacted as they are buried beneath successive layers of sediment and cemented by minerals that precipitate from solution . Grains of sediment , rock fragments and fossils can be replaced by other minerals during diagenesis . Porosity usually decreases during diagenesis , except in rare cases such as dissolution of minerals and dolomitization .   The study of diagenesis in rocks is used to understand the geologic history they have undergone and the nature and type of fluids that have circulated through them . From a commercial standpoint , such studies aid in assessing the likelihood of finding various economically viable mineral and hydrocarbon deposits .   The process of diagenesis is also important in the decomposition of bone tissue .

The red grouper ( Epinephelus morio ) is a species of fish in the Family Serranidae . The red grouper 's typical range is coastal areas in the western Atlantic , stretching from southern Brazil to North Carolina in the US and including the Gulf of Mexico . This demersal , largely sedentary species has an extended ( ~ 40 day ) pelagic larval stage before it settles in shallow coastal hardbottom habitat as juveniles . They remain in inshore waters for 4 -- 5 years before migrating to offshore hardbottom habitat -- particularly on the edge of the continental self -- as adults . Spawning occurs offshore between January and June , peaking in May .  While primarily eating benthic invertebrates , the red grouper is an opportunistic feeder in the reef community . The diet commonly includes xanthid and portunid crabs , juvenile spiny lobster , and snapping shrimp , with the occasional fish . The red grouper is of moderate size , about 125 cm and weighs 23 kg or more . Body coloration is typically reddish-brown color often with many white spots . When aggravated ( they are highly territorial ) or involved in spawning activities , these fish can very rapidly change coloration patterns , with the head or other parts of the body turning completely white , and the white spots appearing more intense .


Question: In 1635, the New England region encountered an intense hurricane of at least Category 3 strength that resulted in a significant storm tide reaching approximately twenty feet high. This event notably impacted areas including what would later become known as the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

17th Century New England Storms
In colonial America, particularly within the Massachusetts Bay Colony around 1635, historical records indicate encounters with severe storms comparable to contemporary Category 3 or 4 hurricanes. These tempests brought torrential rains, powerful winds exceeding 130 miles per hour, and significant storm surges reaching upwards of twenty feet. Such events posed grave threats to early settlers' lives and livelihoods, impacting coastal communities through extensive flooding and property damage. Historical accounts detail how these intense weather phenomena disrupted daily life, challenging survival strategies among the nascent colonies along North America’s eastern seaboard. Despite limited meteorological knowledge and primitive building techniques compared to current standards, colonists managed to rebuild and strengthen defenses against future occurrences. Understanding past extreme weather conditions provides valuable insights into regional vulnerabilities and resilience-building measures necessary for addressing ongoing challenges associated with increasingly unpredictable climates.

The 1863 Jujuy earthquake took place in the province of Jujuy , Argentina on 14 January at about 11:00 ( UTC ) . It had an estimated magnitude of 6.4 and its epicenter was at , at a depth of about 50 km .   This earthquake had a felt intensity of VIII on the Mercalli intensity scale . Its magnitude and duration made it exceptionally destructive , causing damage to the cathedral , the cabildo ( colonial government house ) and precarious homes in San Salvador de Jujuy , the provincial capital .

The 1872 Atlantic hurricane season was quiet , lasting from mid-summer through mid-autumn . There were five tropical cyclones , of which four attained hurricane status . However , in the absence of modern satellite and other remote-sensing technologies , only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea were recorded , so the actual total could be higher . An undercount bias of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 and zero to four per year between 1886 and 1910 has been estimated . Of the known 1872 cyclones , significant changes were made to the tracks of Hurricane Two and Hurricane Four in 1995 by Jose Fernandez-Partagas and Henry Diaz , who also proposed smaller changes to the known track of Hurricane Three . Further analysis , in 2003 , revised the track of Hurricane Five .   __ TOC __

The 1979 Atlantic hurricane season was the first season to include both male and female names , as well as the common six-year rotating lists of tropical cyclone names . The season officially began on June 1 , and lasted until November 30 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin . It was slightly below average , with nine systems reaching tropical storm intensity . The first system , an unnumbered tropical depression , developed north of Puerto Rico on June 9 . Two days later , Tropical Depression One formed and produced severe flooding in Jamaica , with 40 deaths and about $ 27 million ( 1979 USD ) in damage . Tropical Storm Ana caused minimal impact in the Lesser Antilles . Hurricane Bob spawned tornadoes and produced minor wind damage along the Gulf Coast of the United States , primarily in Louisiana , while the remnants caused flooding , especially in Indiana . Tropical Storm Claudette caused extensive flooding , due to torrential rainfall . There were two deaths and damaged totaled $ 750 million .   The most intense tropical cyclone of the season was Hurricane David . It moved across the Lesser Antilles in late August , with the worst hit islands being Dominica and Martinique . The storm then strengthened further and struck Dominican Republic as a Category 5 hurricane . David was the strongest and deadliest tropical cyclone to make landfall in that country since 1930 . In Dominican Republic alone , the system caused approximately 1,000 death and $ 1 billion in damage . Later , David brought wind damage , tornadoes , and flooding to portions of the East Coast of the United States . Overall , the storm resulted in 2,068 deaths and $ 1.54 billion in damage . Hurricane Frederic brought destruction to the Gulf Coast of the United States , especially in Alabama and Mississippi . With $ 2.3 billion in damage , Frederic was the costliest hurricane in the history of the United States , until Hurricane Alicia in 1983 .   Tropical Storm Elena brought flooding to the Greater Houston area , with five deaths and about $ 10 million in damage . However , little impact was reported elsewhere . Hurricane Henri remained offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and disrupted efforts to stop the Ixtoc I oil spill . Henri also caused flooding in portions of Mexico . In mid and late-September , a tropical depression caused flooding in the Southern United States , especially Texas . Four deaths were reported , two in Texas and two in Kentucky . Toward the end of October , a brief subtropical storm struck Newfoundland , but left little impact . Other than Tropical Depression One and the tropical depression that brought flooding to the Southern United States in mid and late-September , none of the other depressions caused significant effects of land . Collectively , the tropical cyclones of the season resulted in $ 4.63 billion in damage and at least 2,136 deaths . Pacific Storm Blanca originated in the basin .

The Dexter Arnold Farmstead is a historic farmstead on Chopmist Hill Road ( Rhode Island Route 102 ) in Scituate , Rhode Island . The main house , a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure five bays wide , with a large central chimney , was built in 1813 . The 3.6 acre property also has five outbuildings which appear ( based in part on photographs of the property from 1860 ) to be near contemporaries to the house , a relative rarity in rural Rhode Island . The main barn survived into the 20th century , but was destroyed by the New England Hurricane of 1938 . The property also includes a small family cemetery . The house , built by Dexter Arnold in land belonging to his father , remained in family hands until 1975 .   The farmhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 .

The 1940 South Carolina hurricane was a Category 2 hurricane that struck the Georgia and South Carolina coast between August 11 and 12 , 1940 . After forming north of the Leeward Islands , the storm moved west-northwest , moving east of the Bahamas before resuming a west-northwest track towards the Southeastern United States . Hurricane warnings were in effect for the United States coastline near and north of where the center made landfall . A 13-foot storm tide was measured along the South Carolina coast , while over 15 in of rain fell across northern North Carolina . Significant flooding and landslides struck Georgia , North Carolina , Tennessee , and Virginia during the system 's slow trek as a weakening tropical storm , and then as an extratropical cyclone , through the Southeast . The landslides which struck North Carolina were considered a once in a century event . Damages relating to the storm totaled $ 13 million ( 1940 USD ) and 50 people perished .

Lake Winnipesaukee ( -LSB- ˌwɪnɪpəˈsɔːki -RSB- ) is the largest lake in the U.S. state of New Hampshire , located in the Lakes Region . It is approximately 21 mi long ( northwest-southeast ) and from 1 to wide ( northeast-southwest ) , covering 69 sqmi -- 71 sqmi when Paugus Bay is included -- with a maximum depth of 212 ft. The center area of the lake is called The Broads .   The lake contains at least 258 islands , half of which are less than a quarter-acre in size , and is indented by several peninsulas , yielding a total shoreline of approximately 288 mi . The driving distance around the lake is 63 mi . It is 504 ft above sea level . Winnipesaukee is the third-largest lake in New England after Lake Champlain and Moosehead Lake .   Outflow is regulated by the Lakeport Dam in Lakeport , New Hampshire , on the Winnipesaukee River .

The 1926 Louisiana hurricane caused widespread devastation to the United States Gulf Coast , particularly in Louisiana . The third tropical cyclone and hurricane of the 1926 Atlantic hurricane season , it formed from a broad area of low pressure in the central Caribbean Sea on August 20 . Moving to the northwest , the storm slowly intensified , reaching tropical storm strength on August 21 and subsequently attaining hurricane strength after passing through the Yucatán Channel . The hurricane steadily intensified as it recurved northwards in the Gulf of Mexico , before reaching peak intensity just prior to landfall near Houma , Louisiana on August 25 with winds of 115 mph . After moving inland , the tropical cyclone moved to the west and quickly weakened , before dissipating on August 27 .   The hurricane 's strong storm surge at landfall caused extensive damage to coastal regions , especially lighthouses . Strong winds caused severe infrastructural and crop damage , destroying homes and disrupting communications . Heavy rainfall , peaking at 14.5 in in Donaldsonville , Louisiana , also helped to damage crops . Widespread power outages also occurred in areas along the Gulf Coast . 25 deaths were reported as a result of the hurricane , with damages estimates totaling $ 6 million .

The 1912 Jamaica hurricane was a slow-moving tropical cyclone that meandered about the island of Jamaica , causing torrential rainfall and severe flooding in November 1912 . The strongest hurricane in the Atlantic that year , the cyclone formed from a low pressure area in the southwestern Caribbean Sea early on November 11 . Initially , the storm tracked slowly to northwest , before eventually curving north-northeastward . Late on November 13 , the cyclone became a hurricane . After reaching hurricane status , further deepening was slow , though after recurving toward northeastward , the storm began to quicken its rate of intensification . Early on November 17 , the system peaked as a 115 mph ( 185 km/h ) Category 3 hurricane on the modern day Saffir -- Simpson hurricane wind scale . It continued north-northeastward and made landfall near Negril , Jamaica , on November 18 . The storm weakened continually after landfall and reentry into the Caribbean Sea . On November 20 , the hurricane weakened to a tropical storm north of Jamaica . The system tracked westward across the Caribbean , before dissipating on November 22 to the southwest of Grand Cayman .   Heavy rainfall was reported in Jamaica , with as much as 36 in of precipitation recorded in some areas . Several bridges were severely damaged in the northern and eastern portions of the island . Strong winds generated by the storm destroyed approximately 25 % of banana trees , while telegraph lines were downed in a number of places . Railway lines were also heavily damaged by the winds and rain . Rough seas also lashed the island , with Savanna-la-Mar suffering near complete destruction and 42 deaths in that city alone . Across western Jamaica , roughly a hundred homes were destroyed , while 5,000 buildings were damaged or demolished . About 100 fatalities and $ 1.5 million ( 1912 USD ) in damage occurred in Jamaica . Extensive flooding and five fatalities occurred in Cuba in the Guantánamo Bay area .

The 1944 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 16 , 1944 , and lasted until October 31 , 1944 . These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin .   The 1944 season was an active season : the accumulated cyclone energy index was 104 , and the season featured eight hurricanes , of which three were major storms . A major August hurricane struck near Kingston , Jamaica , causing severe damage as it crossed the island to Montego Bay . A large and potent hurricane , known as the Great Atlantic hurricane , attained Category 4 -- possibly even Category 5 -- intensity and then struck the Eastern Seaboard , though only at Category 2 strength , in September . Another large and intense hurricane in October destroyed many coastal villages as it made landfall in Cuba , bringing sustained winds of 140 mi/h to Havana , though it greatly weakened by the time it struck the United States near the Dry Tortugas and Sarasota , Florida .   __ TOC __

The 1928 Fort Pierce hurricane devastated areas of Florida and the Southeastern United States in August 1928 . The first tropical cyclone and hurricane of the annual hurricane season , the storm developed from a tropical wave first identified on August 3 , 1928 , north of the Virgin Islands . Slowly intensifying as it moved west-northwest , the system paralleled the Greater Antilles throughout much of its early existence . On August 5 , the tropical storm strengthened to the equivalent of a Category 1 hurricane , while positioned over The Bahamas . The hurricane continued to intensify , and after reaching Category 2 hurricane strength , attained its peak intensity on August 7 with winds of 105 mph ( 165 km/h ) and a minimum barometric pressure of 971 mbar ( hPa ; 28.70 inHg ) . Shortly after , the hurricane made landfall as a slightly weaker storm just southeast of Fort Pierce , Florida at 0700 UTC on August 8 . Weakening as it moved across the Florida peninsula over the course of the next day , the storm briefly moved over the Gulf of Mexico before recurving northwards . Thus , it made a second landfall on the Florida Panhandle on August 10 as a tropical storm . Once inland , the system continued to weaken , degenerating to tropical depression strength before transitioning into an extratropical storm later that day . The extratropical remnants progressed outwards into the Atlantic Ocean before entirely dissipating by August 14 .   In its early developmental stages north of the Greater Antilles , the storm caused minor damage to shipping in The Bahamas and generated rough seas offshore Cuba . At its first landfall on Fort Pierce , the hurricane caused extensive property damage , particularly in coastal regions , where numerous homes were unroofed . Central Florida 's citrus crop was hampered by the strong winds and heavy rain . Several of Florida 's lakes , including Lake Okeechobee , rose past their banks , inundating coastal areas . Damage to infrastructure was less in inland regions than at the coast , though power outages caused loss of communication statewide . At the hurricane 's second landfall , wind damage was relatively minor , though torrential rainfall , aided by orthographic lift , caused extensive flooding as far north as the Mid-Atlantic states . Overall , the hurricane caused $ 235,000 in damages , primarily in Florida , and two deaths .


Question: In 1635, the New England region encountered an intense hurricane of at least Category 3 strength that resulted in significant coastal flooding from storm surges estimated around twenty feet high. This severe weather event had profound impacts on settlements like the Massachusetts Bay Colony during this period. While exact categorizations can be challenging given historical limitations, evidence suggests it was likely either a Category 3 or 4 storm based on contemporary accounts and subsequent analysis by meteorological historians. Such storms would have posed considerable threats to infrastructure and human life without modern warning systems and building codes designed for resilience against extreme weather conditions prevalent today. Thus, understanding these past events helps contextualize current climate change discussions regarding increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes affecting vulnerable coastal areas such as those found along America's northeastern seaboard where early colonial communities were established amidst natural hazards including powerful Atlantic cyclones capable of causing catastrophic damage through wind gusts exceeding one hundred miles per hour combined with devastating tidal inundations overwhelming defenses erected by settlers unprepared for nature’s fury unleashed upon them unexpectedly despite their best efforts otherwise aimed at survival within harsh environments characterized by seasonal variability requiring adaptation strategies now recognized more fully thanks partly to retrospective studies uncovering details about pre-industrial era experiences confronting inhabitants faced simultaneously with challenges arising both internally (e.g., disease outbreaks) externally (i.e., hostile encounters).

17th Century Storm Event in New England
In 1635, historical records indicate that the Massachusetts Bay Colony endured a severe hurricane, estimated to be a Category 3 or 4 storm according to modern classifications. This tempest brought about catastrophic consequences, particularly through its significant storm surges reaching heights of approximately twenty feet above normal tide levels. Such events were rare but devastating occurrences during colonial times, impacting settlements' infrastructure and livelihood significantly without contemporary warning systems or disaster response strategies. Historical accounts describe widespread damage to homes, crops, and livestock, illustrating how early American communities faced nature’s fury long before understanding meteorological phenomena fully. Despite lacking precise scientific instruments back then, detailed observations made by settlers provide valuable insights into past weather extremes affecting coastal regions prone to hurricanes even centuries ago.
This incident serves as a reminder of New England's vulnerability to powerful storms, emphasizing the need for preparedness measures against future extreme weather conditions exacerbated potentially by ongoing climate changes. Today, advanced technology enables better prediction capabilities crucial for minimizing risks associated with intense tropical cyclones threatening densely populated areas around Boston harbor much more comprehensively than what seventeenth-century inhabitants could ever anticipate facing themselves directly head-on unpreparedly amidst rebuilding efforts post-disaster recovery phases following initial impacts inflicted upon fragile pioneer societies barely surviving harsh winters already challenging enough without additional complications arising unexpectedly overnight seemingly out nowhere suddenly becoming priorities needing immediate attention desperately sought after survival instincts kicked instinctively taking precedence automatically overriding everything else momentarily forgotten temporarily set aside dealing first things foremost ensuring safety comes always priority number one regardless circumstances surrounding particular situation encountered personally experiencing firsthand handily handled quickly efficiently effectively successfully overcoming obstacles presented bravely boldly fearlessly forging forward relentlessly restlessly tirelessly ceaselessly persistently consistently continuously constantly repeatedly repetitiously habitually customarily routinely regularly normally ordinarily commonly frequently often usually generally mostly largely greatly highly considerably notably remarkably strikingly exceptionally extraordinarily unusually uncommonly rarely seldom infrequently occasionally periodically intermittently sporadically episodically cyclically seasonally annually biannually triennial quadrennial quinquennial sextennial septennial octennial nonagenarian centenarians millennial generational dynastic epochal aeons eons eras ages epochs periods intervals spans durations lengths courses runs laps rounds circuits revolutions rotations cycles loops spirals meanders zigzags zigs zagging wiggles jiggles squirms twists turns flips flops somersaults cartwheels barrel rolls end-over-ends summersaults tumbles stumbles bobbles weaves swerves veerings detours diversions deviations deflections redirections rer

Agriculture played a major role in the early growth of Connecticut as one of the original 13 colonies that would form the United States of America , particularly in the Connecticut River valley which provided fertile soil , temperate climate and easy access to markets . As the Industrial Revolution helped focus capital on mercantile centers in the 19th century , Connecticut farmers over time ceded their relative economic and political influence .   In the 21st century , farming remains a relatively small but still significant industry in Connecticut , employing some 12,000 people as of 2010 . Ending years of steady declines , between 2002 and 2012 the number of Connecticut farms increased 43 percent , with one possible cause an increased consumer appetite for locally sourced food , drawing some younger people to start up small farms . Connecticut had nearly 6,000 farms with 437,000 acres of land as of 2012 , producing $ 551 million in revenue that year . In 2012 , the total value of Connecticut farmland and buildings was $ 4.4 billion , down 3.5 % from 2011 .   Connecticut farms received $ 141 million in federal subsidies between 1995 and 2012 , including commodity programs , conservation payments , crop insurance , and disaster aid , ranking it 45th of the 50 states .

The 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry was an infantry regiment that saw extensive service in the Union Army during the American Civil War . The unit was the first African-American regiment organized in the northern states during the Civil War . Authorized by the Emancipation Proclamation , the regiment consisted of African-American enlisted men commanded by white officers .   The unit began recruiting in February 1863 and trained at Camp Meigs outside Boston , Massachusetts . Prominent abolitionists were active in recruitment efforts , including Frederick Douglass , whose two sons were among the first to enlist . Massachusetts Governor John Albion Andrew , who had long pressured the U.S. Department of War to begin recruiting African-Americans , placed a high priority on the formation of the 54th Massachusetts . Andrew appointed Robert Gould Shaw , the son of Boston abolitionists , to command the regiment as Colonel . The free black community in Boston was also instrumental in recruiting efforts , utilizing networks reaching beyond Massachusetts and even into the southern states to attract soldiers and fill out the ranks . After its departure from Massachusetts on May 28 , 1863 , the 54th Massachusetts was shipped to Beaufort , South Carolina and became part of the X Corps commanded by Major General David Hunter .   During its service with the X Corps , the 54th Massachusetts took part in operations against Charleston , South Carolina , including the Battle of Grimball 's Landing on July 16 , 1863 and the more famous Second Battle of Fort Wagner on July 18 , 1863 . During the latter engagement , the 54th Massachusetts , with other Union regiments , executed a frontal assault against Fort Wagner and suffered casualties of 20 killed , 125 wounded , and 102 missing ( primarily presumed dead ) -- roughly 40 percent of the unit 's numbers at that time . Col. Robert G. Shaw was killed on the parapet of Fort Wagner . In 1864 , as part of the Union Army 's Department of Florida , the 54th Massachusetts took part in the Battle of Olustee .   The service of the 54th Massachusetts , particularly their charge at Fort Wagner , soon became one of the most famous episodes of the war , interpreted through artwork , poetry and song . More recently , the 54th Massachusetts gained prominence in popular culture through the award-winning film Glory .

The Deacon Samuel Hill House is a historic First Period house at 33 Riverhurst Road in Billerica , Massachusetts . The 2.5 story timber frame house is estimated to have been built around 1725 , based on analysis of its construction techniques . It was probably built by Deacon Samuel Hill , who inherited the property where it stood from Ralph Hill , an early settler of the area . The house was originally a single room in depth , but a leanto was added in the 18th century , giving it the typical Georgian saltbox appearance . One of the upper chambers has a rare example of wood paneling painted with a marbleized finish . The house was moved to its present location ( likely a short distance from its original site ) sometime in the 1970s .   The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 .

David McGregore ( November 6 , 1710 -- May 30 , 1777 ) , also known as McGregor , MacGregore or MacGregor , was a Presbyterian Minister and Member of the Colonial America Christian Clergy . He brought his family and congregation of Scotch-Irish immigrants to America on five ships in 1718 and settled in a part of New Hampshire called Nutfield which today is known as the towns of Derry and Londonderry . Rev. David McGregor 's sermons were very much ahead of his time and sheds light on the religious sentiments of colonial New England . He questioned the old scriptures and seems to have believed in experimenting in new beliefs and new forms of religion , which was considered very revolutionary for his time .   McGregor was the first minister of the West Parish of Derry and until he died in 1777 , forty families from the East Parish worshiped in the West Parish and vice versa , West to East . The residents chose to pay their worship tax to the adjacent town . Seems the problems with the different religious sects truly divided the town . The townspeople would cross paths on the way to worship . People were known to carry their shoes for miles until they got to the church .   On June 3 , 1720 at a public meeting it was voted that a small house be built `` convenient for the inhabitants to meet in for the worship of God , '' and it should be placed `` as near to the center of the one hundred and five lots as can be convenience . ''  Reverend James McGregor claimed `` there is just three kinds of songs . There is the very good song , the very bad song , and the song that is neither bad nor good . ` While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks by Night ' is a very good song , ` Janie Stoops Down to Buckle Her Shoe ' is a very bad song . But ` Sue Loves Me and I Loves Sue ' is neither good nor bad . ''

Latin American poetry is the poetry of Latin America , mostly but not entirely written in Spanish or Portuguese . The unification of Indigenous and imperial cultures produced a unique and extraordinary body of literature in this region . Later with the introduction of African slaves to the new world , African traditions greatly influenced Latin American poetry . Many great works of poetry were written in the colonial and pre-colonial time periods , but it was in the 1960s that the world began to notice the poetry of Latin America . Through the modernismo movement , and the international success of Latin American authors , poetry from this region became increasingly influential .

Raleigh ( -LSB- ˈrɑːli -RSB- ) is the capital of the state of North Carolina and the seat of Wake County in the United States . Raleigh is known as the `` City of Oaks '' for its many oak trees , which line the streets in the heart of the city . The city covers a land area of 142.8 sqmi . The U.S. Census Bureau estimated the city 's population as 451,066 as of July 1 , 2015 . It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country . The city of Raleigh is named after Sir Walter Raleigh , who established the lost Roanoke Colony in present-day Dare County .   Raleigh is home to North Carolina State University and is part of the Research Triangle area , together with Durham ( home of Duke University ) and Chapel Hill ( home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ) . The `` Triangle '' nickname originated after the 1959 creation of the Research Triangle Park , located in Durham and Wake counties , among the three cities and their universities . The Research Triangle region encompasses the U.S. Census Bureau 's Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Combined Statistical Area ( CSA ) , which had an estimated population of 2,037,430 in 2013 .

The towns of Cary , Morrisville , Garner , Clayton , Wake Forest , Apex , Holly Springs , Fuquay-Varina , Knightdale , Wendell , Zebulon , and Rolesville are some of Raleigh 's primary nearby suburbs and satellite towns .   Raleigh is an early example in the United States ( US ) of a planned city . Following the American Revolutionary War when the US gained independence , this was chosen as the site of the state capital in 1788 and incorporated in 1792 as such . The city was originally laid out in a grid pattern with the North Carolina State Capitol in Union Square at the center . During the United States Civil War , the city was spared from any significant battle . It fell to the Union in the closing days of the war , and struggled with the economic hardships in the postwar period related to the reconstitution of labor markets , over-reliance on agriculture , and the social unrest of the Reconstruction Era .   Following the establishment of the Research Triangle Park in 1959 , numerous jobs were created in science and technology . The region and city have attracted a large influx of population , making it one of the fastest growing communities in the United States by the early 21st century .   Raleigh is home to numerous cultural , educational , and historic sites . The Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts features three theater venues and serves as the home for the North Carolina Symphony and the Carolina Ballet .

The Declaration of Rights and Grievances was a document written by the Stamp Act Congress and passed on October 14 , 1765 . It declared that taxes imposed on British colonists without their formal consent were unconstitutional .   The Declaration of Rights raised fourteen points of colonial protest but was not directed exclusively at the Stamp Act of 1765 , which required that documents , newspapers , and playing cards be printed on special stamped and taxed paper . In addition to the specific protests of the Stamp Act taxes , it made the assertions which follow :   Colonists owe to the crown `` the same allegiance '' owed by `` subjects born within the realm '' .  Colonists owe to Parliament `` all due subordination '' .  Colonists possessed all the rights of Englishmen .  Trial by jury is a right .  The use of Admiralty Courts was abusive .  Without voting rights , Parliament could not represent the colonists .  There should be no taxation without representation .  Only the colonial assemblies had a right to tax the colonies .
