Pygmalion (mythology) [SEP] In 1883, the musical burlesque "Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed" was performed at the Gaiety Theatre with a libretto by Henry Pottinger Stephens and W. Webster, and a score composed by Wilhelm Meyer Lutz.

Pygmalion (mythology) [SEP] George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" (1912, staged 1914) owes something to both the Greek Pygmalion and the legend of "King Cophetua and the beggar maid"; in which a king lacks interest in women, but one day falls in love with a young beggar-girl, later educating her to be his queen. Shaw's comedy of manners in turn was the basis for the Broadway musical "My Fair Lady" (1956), as well as numerous other adaptations.

Pygmalion (mythology) [SEP] P. L. Deshpande's play "Ti Fulrani" ("Queen of Flowers") is also based on Shaw's "Pygmalion". The play was a huge success in Marathi theater and has earned many accolades. Madhu Rye adapted "Pygmalion" in Gujarati as "Santu Rangili" (1976) which was successful.

Civic Center station (MARTA) [SEP] Civic Center is an elevated metro station in Atlanta, Georgia, serving the Red and Gold lines of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system. It is located in Atlanta's SoNo district. This station has seen an increase of faregate totals and ridership in the past years due to the Megabus, which drops off and picks up passengers above the station. Additionally, there has been an increased interest in high-rise buildings in the area.

Civic Center station (MARTA) [SEP] Civic Center station is located in SoNo, a sub-district of Downtown, with convenient access to the southern end of Midtown Atlanta. The station is named after the nearby Atlanta Civic Center three blocks east at Piedmont Avenue NE, Centennial Hill, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Peachtree Summit and SunTrust Plaza skyscrapers to the south. Nearby tourist attractions are Centennial Olympic Park, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, The World of Coca-Cola, and The Georgia Aquarium.

Civic Center station (MARTA) [SEP] Civic Center has a unique layout compared to other stations of the MARTA system. Although the rest of the line in Downtown and Midtown is underground, the station is actually elevated, except for the extreme ends of the platforms, where the line once more becomes underground. This is because it lies perpendicular to and above the trench for the Downtown Connector. This station is noted for being the only subway station in the world that is simultaneously above a highway and below street level.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] The Nokia 6230 is a mobile phone based on the Nokia Series 40 platform. It was announced on 28 October 2003 and released in February 2004. The 6230 is business-styled but it does feature a VGA resolution digital camera, video camera, a music player and expandable memory. It is considered to be one of the loudest Nokia phones. Cingular Wireless was the primary GSM carrier that offered the Nokia 6230b in the United States.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] Other companies such as Cincinnati Bell, Simmetry Communications, Viaero Wireless and Telcel also offered this model.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] It features a 16-bit TFT color screen with a resolution of 128×128 pixels, a VGA camera that can record video clips in H.263 (SubQCIF) format at 128×96 pixels at 15 FPS, built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, FM radio (when a wired headset is attached to the Pop-Port interface to act as an antenna), and playback of 3GP video/audio at up to 30 FPS and MP3, AAC and AMR audio.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] It is also EGPRS (EDGE) capable of speeds up to 220 kbit/s. In addition, it has changeable Xpress-on covers available for purchase. It uses an Extended Li-Ion Battery of 850 mAh. The 6230 accepts MMC memory cards up to 4 GB in capacity formatted in FAT32 or FAT16 file systems (supported by later firmware releases) on which multimedia files and data can be stored. SD cards are not supported.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] It operates on either GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz (Nokia 6230 RH-12), or GSM 850/1800/1900 MHz (Nokia 6230b RH-28) for the North American market. It was the first non-smartphone with an expandable memory card slot and was usually supplied with a 32MB MMC Card.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] In early 2005 Nokia released an updated 6230i model (RM-72) which includes a 1.3-megapixel camera instead of a 0.3, 208×208 screen resolution (65,536 colours), a slightly larger display, a raised selection button in the midst of the scroll key, and a modern redesigned menu. It is also standard UMS (USB mass storage device class) compliant, i.e. no proprietary drivers are required to transfer data to and from the device's memory card.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] It weighs 99 g (including battery BL-5C) and the dimensions are 103 mm x 44 mm x 20 mm, 76 cc. The BL-5C battery that comes standard with it will last about 150–300 hours, depending on usage. This model was available only in GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz; Nokia did not release an 850 MHz version for the North American market. The next model in the 623x series is the 3G GSM/WCDMA Nokia 6233.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] The graphical user interface was overhauled, and many of the icons featured on the 6230i are the same as those now used uniformly across almost all new Nokia phones. Notably, the menu icons on the Nokia 6230i are animated, as opposed to the previous model which were static. The phone has seven built-in themes ('Basic', 'Circle', 'DotSpace', 'Dots2', 'Microdots', 'Waves', and 'Window'), and users can download more.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] In addition, users may customise the color of the borders, and the battery and signal bars. The operating system does run more slowly than on the 6230, possibly due to the increased processor drain of the higher resolution screen. Nokia also removed several options from menus, such as: brightness control, and the ability to automatically overwrite text messages in the Inbox/Sent Folders. These changes have brought widespread complaints. The phone can automatically lock after a set time, starting from five seconds of no activity.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] In addition to the auto-lock, users can lock with a 'keyguard', which prevents unauthorised use of the phone. The code it uses is the standard security code. If the user gets this code wrong three time, the phone is 'locked out', whereby no-one can gain access for ten minutes. Users can choose to protect their phone by enabling a PIN. When enabled, the phone will prompt users to type the PIN, and on success the phone will grant access.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] Users can also protect their SIM card, which is standard phone practice. The Nokia 6230i has organizing software, such as: calendar, alarm clock, to-do list, notes, wallet. The 'Wallet' is a password protected area where users can store bank card details, tickets, receipts, and personal notes. Users can set different profiles within the 'Wallet', for example 'work' or 'personal', whereby different card details, for example, can be stored.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] There is an e-mail application, but it must be set up by the user's mobile phone network. Further to storing mobile numbers, users can add e-mail addresses, home-phone numbers, an image (shows when contact calls), PTT addresses, postal addresses, web addresses, notes, and user identification. Contacts can be put into groups, for example 'work colleagues' but such groups do not appear to be usable for text messaging.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] There is a Distribution List feature under Messages where users can send group SMS (Only available with the 6210). Users can add sixteen voice commands (also known as 'Voice tags'), whereby users can say a contact's name and the phone will automatically call that contact (only if the user individually sets a voice per person). The Nokia 6230i is GPRS enabled.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] It features a GPRS Class 10 connectivity at up to 48 kbit/s. It is also EDGE enabled at Class 10 offering speeds up to 236.8 kbit/s. It also has an infrared port and is Bluetooth enabled, making it one of the few phones to feature both infrared and Bluetooth. The Nokia 6230i features an integrated music player which can play MP3 and AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) format files. The music player has an inbuilt Graphic Equalizer and the ability to create and save custom equalizers.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] Up to seven different equalizer settings are available. The phone plays exceptionally high quality audio. The Music Players also includes the ability to play music via Bluetooth. It included the song "Strange Transmissions" by Norah Jones & The Peter Malick Group. It also includes a Media Player to play video files in 3GP formats. The video recording is done in 3GP format as well. The phone also includes a Radio (headset is required to be connected) in which 20 radio channels can be saved.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] Auto tuning of frequencies can be done automatically. The Nokia 6230i also features a Voice Recorder with up to 60 minutes of voice recording. The Nokia 6230i features Push to talk (PTT). Push to talk (PTT) functions as a two-way radio. The PTT option is available only if enabled by the service provider.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] The phone also has a basic calculator, countdown timer, and a stopwatch, which has two settings: 'Split timing' and 'Lap timing', both allow users to save and name their times. It also includes integrated "Message counter" which counts the number of messages sent and received. Another application called "GPRS data counter" shows the data received and sent during each session and also for all sessions combined. " GPRS connection timer" registers the time for each session.

Nokia 6230 [SEP] The phone also supports speed dials, up to nine numbers can be assigned for speed dialing. Users can download new applications (through WAP) which are stored in a folder named 'Collections'. However, Nokia included three applications. ' World clock II' allows users to view time zones across the world; the graphical user interface highlights the current time zone yellow, and allows users to navigate, left or right, across the world, showing the city at the centre of the time zone. '

Nokia 6230 [SEP] Converter II' is an excellent application for converting anything from currencies, grams, pounds, and so forth. Through the 'Options', users can customise the conversions to suit their needs; this is especially useful when currencies alter in value. The final application is a translation tool ('Translator'). For example, if a search query is 'help', then the application will show five translations (English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian).

Nokia 6230 [SEP] The problem is that the phone is limited to 2 MB of applications regardless the size of the Multimedia Card or the internal memory. A few bugs have been reported with this phone:

Talapoin [SEP] Talapoins () are the two species of Old World monkeys classified in genus Miopithecus. They live in central Africa, with their range extending from Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Angola. With a typical length of 32 to 45 cm and a weight of approximately 1.3 kg (males) and 0.8 kg (females), the talapoins are the smallest Old World monkeys. Their fur is grey green on top and whitish on their underside, much like the vervet monkeys.

Talapoin [SEP] The head is round and short-snouted with a hairless face. Talapoins are diurnal and arboreal, preferring rain forest or mangroves near water. They are usually not found in open fields, nor do they seem to be disrupted by humans. Like Allen's swamp monkey, they can swim well and look in the water for food. These monkeys live in groups of 60 to 100 individuals.

Talapoin [SEP] They congregate at night in trees close to the water, dividing into smaller subgroups during the day to spread out to find food. Groups are composed of several fully mature males, numerous females and their offspring. Unlike the closely related guenons, they do not have any territorial behaviors. Their vocal repertoire is smaller, as well. Talapoins are omnivores; their diet consists mainly of fruits, seeds, aquatic plants, insects, shellfish, bird eggs and small vertebrates.

Talapoin [SEP] Their 160-day gestation period (typically from November to March) results in the birth of a single young. Offspring are considerably large and well developed (newborns weigh over 200 g and are about a quarter of the weight of the mother) and develop rapidly. Within six weeks, they eat solid food, and at three months of age, they are independent. The highest recorded age of an animal in captivity was 28 years, while the life expectancy in the wild is not well known.

Talapoin [SEP] "Talapoin" is a 16th-century French word for a Buddhist monk, from Portuguese "talapão", from Mon "tala pōi" "our lord"; originally jocular, from the appearance of the monkey.

Dobrino [SEP] Dobrino (, ) is a village in the municipality of Zelenikovo, Republic of Macedonia. According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 90 inhabitants. Ethnic groups in the village include:

Westerville, Nebraska [SEP] Westerville is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Custer County, Nebraska, United States. It is located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 183 and Nebraska Highway 70. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 39. Westerville was named for James Westervelt, a local storekeeper. The Westerville post office was established in 1882. County fairs were held in Westerville in 1883 and 1884.

Eudonia murana [SEP] Eudonia murana, the Scotch gray or wall grey, is a moth of the family Crambidae. It was described by John Curtis in 1827 and is found in most of Europe. The wingspan is 18–23 mm. Adults are on wing from June to August, possibly in two generations. The larvae feed on various mosses growing on rocks and walls, including "Hypnum cupressiformis", "Dicranum scoparium", "Bryum capillare" and "Grimmia pulvinata".

Wells County, North Dakota [SEP] Wells County is a county in the U.S. state of North Dakota. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 4,207. Its county seat is Fessenden. The Dakota Territory legislature created the county on January 4, 1873. Its government was not organized at that time, nor was it attached for administrative or judicial purposes to another county.

Wells County, North Dakota [SEP] It was named Gingras County; this name continued until February 26, 1881, when the name was changed to Wells County, named for Edward Payson Wells, a Jamestown banker, early promoter of the James River Valley, and member of the legislature in 1881. The county government was organized on August 28, 1884, with Sykeston as the county seat. In 1894 the county seat was transferred to Fessendon.

Wells County, North Dakota [SEP] The county boundary was altered in 1883 when a parcel was transferred to Foster County, and again in 1885 when it received land from Foster County. Its boundary has remained unchanged since 1885. The center of population of North Dakota is located in the extreme southeastern corner of Wells County, about southeast of Sykeston.

Thai Canal [SEP] The Thai Canal, also known as Kra Canal or Kra Isthmus Canal, refers to proposals for a canal that would connect the Gulf of Thailand with the Andaman Sea across the Kra Isthmus in southern Thailand. It is envisaged that such a canal would improve transportation in the region, similar to the Panama Canal and Suez Canal. The canal would provide an alternative to transit through the Straits of Malacca and shorten transit for shipments of oil to Japan and China by 1,200 km.

Thai Canal [SEP] China refers to it as part of its 21st century maritime Silk Road. Proposals for the canal in 2015 measure 102 km long, 400 meters wide and 25 meters deep. Plans for a canal have been discussed and explored at various times, but have not been implemented. Cost and environmental concerns have been weighed against the potential economic and strategic benefits. In February 2018, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha declared that the canal was not a government priority.

Thai Canal [SEP] A canal through the Kra Isthmus, which would shorten shipping times around Asia, was suggested as early as 1677. Thai King Narai asked the French engineer de Lamar to survey the possibility of building a waterway to connect Songkhla with Marid (now Myanmar), but the idea was discarded as impractical with the technology of that time. In 1793, the idea resurfaced.

Thai Canal [SEP] Maha Sura Singhanat, the younger brother of King Chakri (Rama I), suggested it would make it easier to protect the west coast with military ships. In the early-19th century, the British East India Company became interested in a canal. After Burma became a British colony in 1863, an exploration was undertaken with Victoria Point (Kawthaung) opposite the Kra estuary as its southernmost point, again with negative result.

Thai Canal [SEP] In 1882, the constructor of the Suez canal, Ferdinand de Lesseps, visited the area, but the Thai king did not allow him to investigate in detail. In 1897, Thailand and the British empire agreed not to build a canal so that the regional dominance of the harbour of Singapore would be maintained. The idea of a Kra Canal has been vetted in modern times since the 1930s, but has never materialized due to high cost and environmental repercussions.

Thai Canal [SEP] In the 20th century the idea resurfaced, including with a route in southern Thailand connecting Bandon Bay near Surat Thani with Phang Nga. Another proposed site is across Nakhon Si Thammarat Province and Trang Province. If completed, it is believed that the canal would bring an economic boost to the nearby area and benefit Thailand.

Thai Canal [SEP] Canal opponents have raised several objections to the construction of a canal: The Strait of Malacca, just under long, is narrow, less than at the narrowest, and just deep at its shallowest point. It is used by many oil tankers, bulk carriers and container ships. It is estimated that some 80 percent of Japan's and South Korea's oil and natural gas supplies pass through it. The strait, the world's busiest shipping route, saw a record 84,000 vessels sail through it in 2016.

Thai Canal [SEP] Its yearly capacity is 120,000 vessels. The Maritime Institute of Malaysia forecasts that by 2025, about 140,000 vessels and freighters will seek to transit the strait. A canal would reduce shipping times between the South China Sea and the Andaman Sea two or three days and reduce distance travelled by at least 1,200 kilometres compared with the strait. Bunker fuel savings for a 100,000 dwt (deadweight) oil tanker could be as much as US$350,000 per trip.

Thai Canal [SEP] As a substitute, the construction of a land bridge was started in 1993, however as the location of the harbours was not fixed, Highway 44 as the only finished part of the project, does not end at the sea yet. The two lanes were built 150 m apart to leave space for a rail-road and eventually also a pipeline. Right now the highway runs from to and the project is stalled due to environmental concerns.

Thai Canal [SEP] In 2005, an internal report prepared for U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was leaked to "The Washington Times", spelling out China's strategy of underwriting construction of the canal across the Kra Isthmus, with Chinese port facilities and refineries, as part of its "string of pearls" strategy of forward bases and energy security. The Chinese plan called for construction over ten years employing roughly 30,000 workers at a cost of between US$20–25 billion.

Thai Canal [SEP] In early-2015, calls for yet another feasibility study of the canal were put forward, a leading proponent being the Thai-Chinese Culture and Economic Association of Thailand (TCCEAT). Supporters of the canal believe that it would end Thailand's economic slump and make it a "global shipping and economic hub, rivalling the Panama Canal". On 15 May 2015, a memorandum of understanding was signed by the China-Thailand Kra Infrastructure Investment and Development company / 中泰克拉基础设施投资开发有限公司 in Guangzhou to advance the project.

Thai Canal [SEP] On 19 May 2015 the Thai government denied reports that an agreement had been signed with China to construct the canal. The canal would take an estimated ten years to complete at a cost of US$28 billion. The canal would compete directly with ports in the Strait of Malacca area, including Port Klang, Tanjung Pelepas, and Singapore. According to a May 2002 report in the Malaysian "Business Times", any effect on Malaysia would not be felt for 15 years after the completion of the canal.

Thai Canal [SEP] Singapore has expressed concerns about an adverse impact on its economy from the proposed canal. One report estimated that Singapore might lose 30 percent of its shipping trade as a result of the canal. The width of the Kra Isthmus at its minimum is only , but the height of the interior mountain chain is . The Panama Canal has a length of , but highest point at the Culebra Cut was only .

Thai Canal [SEP] The Panama Canal passes this point at a height of (canal bottom) and (water line), thus ships have to be lifted with locks to a height of above the ocean. The Suez Canal is long but passes entirely through a flat area (which was historically flooded by seas before). At a depth of below sea level the width of the Kra Isthmus is about . At below sea level this becomes about .

Thai Canal [SEP] Several canal routes have been proposed: Route 5A would have ships enter the canal at Pak Bara in Satun Province. Route 9A, further north, would see ships entering a 135 km long canal at Sikao in Trang. As of 2011, an estimated 15.1 million barrels of oil per day pass through the Strait of Malacca, which would be the canal's nearest alternative.

Thai Canal [SEP] Excluding port fees and tolls, it costs about US$0.00106 per ton-mile to operate a 265,000 DWT double-hulled tanker in 1995 dollars.

Thai Canal [SEP] Thus, assuming a one-way distance saved of , about 6.5 barrels per ton of crude oil, and adjusting to 2011 dollars, the Thai canal could hypothetically reduce the cost of crude by about US$ per barrel, which, if the entire traffic of the competing strait were diverted, would reduce annual oil shipping costs by US$ million, disregarding canal fees and the return trip costs of the empty tanker.

Walter Regulus [SEP] The Walter Regulus was a Czechoslovakian five-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine for powering light aircraft that first ran in 1934. The engine produced 186 kW (250 hp). A preserved example of the Walter Regulus engine is on display at the following museum:

Bogucin, Lublin Voivodeship [SEP] Bogucin is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Garbów, within Lublin County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It lies approximately north-west of the regional capital Lublin. The village has a population of 983. br

Al Rayyan (city) [SEP] Al Rayyan () is a city in the municipality of its namesake, Al Rayyan, Qatar. It is the second-most populous city in Qatar, with a population of 605,712 as of 2015. Consisting of all of the districts in the municipality's easternmost section, its boundary cuts off at roughly the point where the Al Majd Highway runs through the municipality. It is considered a part of the Metropolitan Doha area. It is one of the proposed venues for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Al Rayyan (city) [SEP] The city's name derives the Arabic word "ray", which translates to "irrigation". It was given this name due to its low elevation, allowing it to act as a flood plain during the rainy season and provide a prolonged supply of water to the numerous wild plants and crops that grew in the area. Before the massive expansion of Al Rayyan City, the two main areas in Al Rayyan were "Old Al Rayyan" and "New Al Rayyan".

Al Rayyan (city) [SEP] Old Al Rayyan consisted of many traditional villages, while New Al Rayyan contained many large villas occupied by members of Qatar's ruling family. As Al Rayyan City grew, all of the municipality's eastern settlements were incorporated as districts in the city. Two main areas define the city's historical center: Old Al Rayyan (; translit. " Al Rayyan Al Qadeem"') in the northern section, and New Al Rayyan (; translit. " Al Rayyan Al Jadeed") in the south.

Al Rayyan (city) [SEP] As for the city proper, several districts of Al Rayyan City are designated by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, including: When free elections of the Central Municipal Council first took place in Qatar during 1999, Al Rayyan City was divided into two constituencies: no. 18, which had New Al Rayyan as its seat, and no. 19, which had Old Al Rayyan as its seat.

Al Rayyan (city) [SEP] These two constituencies would remain independent of each other for the next three consecutive elections until the fifth municipal elections in 2015, when they were merged under constituency no. 14, with New Al Rayyan as the seat. Also included in its constituency is Al Luqta, Lebday, and Al Shagub. In the inaugural municipal elections in 1999, voter turnout was 78.3% in constituency no. 18 where Mohammed Hamoud Al Shafi was elected, receiving 37.9%, or 256 votes. In constituency no.

Al Rayyan (city) [SEP] 19, Mohammed Saleh Al-Marri won, receiving 66%, or 264 votes. Voter turnout was low, at 37.7% At the next elections, held in 2002, Al Shafi retained his seat in constituency no. 19 while Faraj Saeed Al Aweer was elected in no. 18. In the next election in 2007, Al Shafi once again retained his post in constituency no. 19 whereas Hamad Hamad Al Haoul won the elections in no. 18.

Al Rayyan (city) [SEP] The 2011 elections saw both Al Shafi and Haoul retain their seats in their respective constituencies. For the 2015 elections, after the two constituencies were merged into one, long-time representative of constituency no. 19 Mohammed Hamoud Al Shafi emerged as the election winner. Khalifa International Stadium, one of the first large-scale stadium in Qatar, was built in Al Rayyan City in 1976. It was later incorporated in the Aspire Zone. The Aspire Zone is located in the Al Waab district and accommodates Aspire Academy.

Al Rayyan (city) [SEP] Also found within the Al Waab area are Villaggio Mall and Doha Zoo. Education City, Qatar Science & Technology Park and other Qatar Foundation facilities are located in the Al Gharrafa, Gharrafat Al Rayyan and Al Shagub districts of Al Rayyan.

The Beloved (Rossetti painting) [SEP] The Beloved (also The Bride) is an oil painting on canvas by English artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, first painted in 1865 and now in Tate Britain. This painting illustrates the Song of Solomon.

The Beloved (Rossetti painting) [SEP] Two passages from the Song of Solomon are inscribed on the picture's gilded frame: "My beloved is mine and I am his" (2:16)and"Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine" (1:2) The bride, caught in the action of moving back her veil, is attended by four virginal bridesmaids and an African page boy.

The Beloved (Rossetti painting) [SEP] All contrast strikingly with the red hair and pale skin of the bride: not just the African skin and features, but also the varying shades of brunette hair and dark caucasian skin tones of all four bridesmaids. It has been suggested that this colour contrast, carefully painted as a frame to the bride's features, was influenced by a controversial painting by Édouard Manet, entitled "Olympia" (first exhibited in 1865).

The Beloved (Rossetti painting) [SEP] Rossetti made a visit to Manet while working on "The Beloved", and the painting also owes much to the works of Titian. Rossetti arranged the bride in a head-dress which is distinctly recognisable as Peruvian, and in a Japanese gown. Again, this abundance of exotic fabric frames the face of the bride, dominant in the centre of the canvas, with its western-European features. Rossetti ostensibly finished this oil in 1866, but continued to make changes to it throughout his life.

The bay is popular with tourists for its broad sandy beach and shallow, warm water.

Grouville [SEP] It is also the main oyster producing area of Jersey, and was also formerly noted for the production of vraic. The cottage industry formerly practised by Grouvillais of burning vraic gave rise to the traditional nickname of "les Enfuntchis" (the smoky ones, or the dim ones, in Jèrriais) shared by the Grouvillais and their neighbours in St. Clement. Inland, the parish is also home to Jersey's most noted archaeological site at La Hougue Bie, now a museum run by the Jersey Heritage Trust.

Grouville [SEP] A prehistoric artificial mound covers a passage grave aligned for the equinox. A mediaeval chapel, Notre Dame de la Clarté, built on the Neolithic mound was converted in the 18th century to a folly-like Gothic Revival residence, the Prince's Tower (demolished in the 1920s). During the Second World War, the occupying German forces constructed bunkers in and alongside the ancient mound, now also transformed for museum interpretation. La Rocque was the site of the landing of the French forces on 6 January 1781.
