31959046#0 | Genevieve Foster | Genevieve Stump Foster (April 13, 1893 – August 30, 1979) was an American children's writer who illustrated most of her own books. She was one runner-up for the annual Newbery Medal four times, one of four writers to do so. |
31959046#1 | Genevieve Foster | Foster was born in Oswego, New York, to John William Stump, a science teacher, and Jessie Starin Stump. A year after she was born her father died, and her mother moved with Genevieve, an only child, to live with her parents in Whitewater, Wisconsin, where she spent most of her childhood. Foster cited the Wisconsin home and her grandmother as early influences. When she was 13, her drawing teacher recommended she attend art school after finishing high school. She attended Rockford College from 1911 to 1912 and later graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1915. Still eager to draw, she then attended Chicago Academy of Fine Arts from 1916–1917. |
31959046#2 | Genevieve Foster | Foster began her career as a commercial artist, illustrator, and advertiser. She greatly reduced the amount of her work when she married Orrington C. Foster, an engineer, on June 5, 1922. After 5 months living in the woods, they moved to Chicago, Illinois. They had two children, Orrington Jr (known as Tony) in 1924 and Joanna in 1928. From 1930-1938 she significantly increased the amount of her work, primarily as an illustrator for children's stories. In 1933 they moved to Evanston, Illinois. Foster was confused by the way history was taught in school and college and early in her career she decided to try to find a way to write history books both children and their parents could enjoy. She credits her daughter with inspiring her creative method. While they were watching the 1934 film "The Rise of Catherine the Great", Joanna noticed Catherine's clothes were similar to those worn by Americans during the time of George Washington. It occurred to Foster to write about history in a "horizontal" vice "vertical" fashion, i.e., that national histories should not be taught in isolation from one another. She said that the way history was traditionally taught was "about as dull and unsatisfying, as a play might be, if only one character appeared upon the stage, while the others faintly mumbled their lines in the wings, out of sight of the audience." She was at the forefront of this new method of historical writing, which viewed history as a cross section of intertwined events and looked at a person in their worldwide historical context. In her books, she integrated global historical events into the telling of a person's life. Her purpose was to make historical figures "alive for children". For example, her first historical book, "George Washington's World", showed how the French Revolution, American Revolution, and British imperialism were intertwined and affected Washington's life. During her career she wrote 19 nonfiction children's books. Foster traveled extensively and most of her books were translated into 12–15 languages and were distributed by the U. S. State Department. |
31959046#3 | Genevieve Foster | Foster died in Westport, Connecticut. Her papers are held at the University of Oregon Libraries, Special Collections & University Archives; and University of Minnesota Library, the Children's Literature Research Collections. Many of her books are still in print and some are used as textbooks, particularly in the homeschooling market. Her daughter, Joanna, worked as an editor of children's books and wrote two youth books of her own, "Pete's Puddle" (1950) and "Dogs Working for People" (1972).NH: Four children's books by Eaton were among the annual Newbery Medal runners-up, now called Newbery Honor Books. |
31959063#0 | Karu language | Karu, one of several languages called Baniwa (Baniva), or in older sources "Itayaine (Iyaine)", is an Arawakan language spoken in Colombia, Venezuela, and Amazonas, Brazil. It forms a subgroup with the Tariana, Piapoco, Resígaro and Guarequena languages. There are 10,000 speakers. |
31959063#1 | Karu language | Aikhenvald (1999) considers the three main varieties to be dialects; Kaufman (1994) considers them to be distinct languages, in a group he calls "Karu". They are: |
31959063#2 | Karu language | Various (sub)dialects of all three are called "Tapuya". All are spoken by the Baniwa people. Ruhlen lists all as "Izaneni"; Greenberg's "Adzánani" (= Izaneni) presumably belongs here. |
31959063#3 | Karu language | Baniwa has active–stative alignment. This means that the subject of an intransitive clause is sometimes marked in the same way as the agent of a transitive clause, and sometimes marked in the same way as the patient of a transitive clause. In Baniwa alignment is realized through verbal agreement, namely prefixes and enclitics. |
31959063#4 | Karu language | Prefixes are used to mark:
Enclitics are used to mark:
The differences between active and stative intransitive clauses can be illustrated below: |
31959063#5 | Karu language | Baniwa has an interesting system of noun classification that combines a gender system with a noun classifier system. Baniwa has two genders: feminine and nonfeminine. Feminine gender agreement is used to refer to female referents, whilst nonfeminine gender agreement is used for all other referents. The two genders are only distinguished in third person singular. Aihkenvald (2007) considers the bipartite gender system to be inherited from Proto-Arawak. |
31959063#6 | Karu language | In addition to gender, Baniwa also has 46 classifiers. Classifiers are used in three main contexts:
Aihkenvald (2007) divides Baniwa classifiers into four different classes. One set of classifiers is used for humans, animate beings and body parts. Another set of classifiers specify the shape, consistency, quantification or specificity of the noun. Two more classes can be distinguished. One is only used with numerals and the other is only used with adjectives. |
31959063#7 | Karu language | Classifiers for Humans and animate beings: |
31959063#8 | Karu language | Classifiers according to shape, consistency, quantification and specificity:
There are two main strategies for negation in the Kurripako-Baniwa varieties:
Different varieties have different negative markers. This is so prominent that speakers identify Kurripako dialects according to the words for 'yes' and 'no'. |
31959063#9 | Karu language | The independent negative markers come before the verb. They are used as clausal negators in declarative and interrogative sentences. They are also used to link clauses. |
31959063#10 | Karu language | The privative suffix is attached to nouns to derive a verb which means 'lacking' the noun from which it was derived. The opposite of the privative prefix is the attributive prefix "ka-". This derives a verb which means 'having' the noun from which it was derived. The difference can be illustrated below:
The prefix is used in combination with the restrictive suffix "-tsa" to form negative imperatives, e.g. ma-ihnia-tsa 'don't eat!'. A privative prefix is also reconstructed in Proto-Arawak privative as "*ma-." |
31959063#11 | Karu language | Granadillo (2014) considers Kurripako a VOS language. |

31959070#0 | American Women's Voluntary Services | American Women's Voluntary Services (AWVS) was the largest American women's service organization in the United States during World War II (WWII). AWVS provided women volunteers who provided support services to help the nation during the war such as message delivery, ambulance driving, selling war bonds, emergency kitchens, cycle corps drivers, dog-sled teamsters, aircraft spotters, navigation, aerial photography, fighting fires, truck driving, and canteen workers. Some of its work overlapped with the Office of Civilian Defense and the American Red Cross. |
31959070#1 | American Women's Voluntary Services | Alice Throckmorton McLean founded AWVS in January 1940, 23 months before the United States entered the war, basing it upon the British Women's Voluntary Services, in order to help prepare the nation for the war. Most of the founders were wealthy internationalist women, and its headquarters was in New York City, making America's isolationists suspicious of AWVS. Others saw the organization as being alarmist. Despite these concerns, AWVS had about 18,000 members by the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Eventually over 325,000 women were trained by AWVS. Doris Ryer Nixon founded the California chapter in August 1941 and became AWVS's national vice president. |
31959070#2 | American Women's Voluntary Services | AWVS also encountered resistance because some men did not want women working. The group also sponsored units in African, Chinese, and Hispanic American parts of the United States. This also led to lampooning by the media. By 1944, despite hundreds of thousands of volunteers and large efforts to help win the war, AWVS was accused of being lazy, and the leaders decided to disband the organization at the end of the war. Also, they were formed for the specific purpose of supporting the war, which had been won. |
31959070#3 | American Women's Voluntary Services | Actresses who were AWVS members included Joan Crawford, Hattie McDaniel, Betty White and Lillian Randolph. AMVS inspired other volunteer service groups, such as "Laguna Cottages for Seniors". |

31959078#0 | Costa do Sol State Park | The Costa do Sol State Park ( , Sunshine Coast State Park) is a state park in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It protects a number of fragments of coastal areas in the Atlantic Forest biome that are under intense pressure from urban expansion, but that also have considerable tourism potential. |
31959078#1 | Costa do Sol State Park | The Costa do Sol State Park has about divided into four sectors, each consisting of one or more separate areas.
It covers lands in the municipalities of Araruama, Armação dos Búzios, Arraial do Cabo, Cabo Frio, Saquarema and São Pedro da Aldeia as well as parts of the Atlantic Ocean and the Araruama Lagoon in the state Rio de Janeiro.
The Costa do Sol State Park is the first mosaic park in Brazil, made up of discontinuous protected areas.
In all there are 27 environmental preservation areas. |
31959078#2 | Costa do Sol State Park | The unit protects almost all of the remaining natural ecosystems of the Região dos Lagos (Lake Region), which is under intense real estate pressure.
More than half of the park is located in the Massambaba Environmental Protection Area, which covers Saquarema, Araruama and Arraial do Cabo.
It contains several species in danger of extinction, including the passarine restinga antwren ("Formicivora littoralis"), rufous-legged owl ("Strix rufipes"), fluminense swallowtail ("Parides ascanius") and skull tree iguana ("Liolaemus occipitalis").
There are vestiges of sambaquis, where prehistoric hunters and gatherers lived.
The Lagoa Vermelha, in Saquarema, contains limestone rocks formed by microorganisms in shallow seas and lagoons, a rare phenomenon that is important in understanding evolutionary history. |
31959078#3 | Costa do Sol State Park | The park has considerable tourism potential, although as of 2015 little had been done to ensure that tourists would use the protected sites in a sustainable way.
The park rangers had fought 25 fires since the park was created, seized 18 irregular buildings, prevented seven attempts at logging and 12 squatter invasions and seized 15 wild animals.
However, the park did not have lodgings for park rangers or a visitor center. |
31959078#4 | Costa do Sol State Park | Tourists have visited the area of the park for decades, attracted by the pristine beaches and lagoons, but it was being threatened by unplanned urban growth.
The state park was proposed by the Lagos São João Intermunicipal Consortium (CILSJ), a working group with representatives of municipalities, companies and civil society.
The Costa do Sol State Park was created by state decree 42.929 of 18 April 2011 with an area of about .
The park was created in a ceremony in Búzios attended by federal Environmental Minister Carlos Minc and state governor Sérgio Cabral Filho. |
31959078#5 | Costa do Sol State Park | The objectives are to ensure preservation of remnants of Atlantic Forest and associate ecosystems of the coastal region, including "restingas", mangroves, lagoons and swamps, to allow degraded areas to recover, to maintain populations of native fauna and flora as a refuge for rare, endemic or endangered species, to support recreation, education, scientific research, leisure and tourism, and to support sustainable economic activities in the park's surroundings. |
31959078#6 | Costa do Sol State Park | In April 2015 the park promoted an annual promotion at Conchas Beach in Cabo Frio to encourage tourism and conservation in the park.
The program included an ecological race, stand-up paddle challenge, a workshop on reuse and customization of crates, garbage collection, interpretive tour and a music show. All the garbage was to be made into a sculpture. |
31959079#0 | Berkeley Springs station | Berkeley Springs station is a historic railway depot located at Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia. The depot is a one-story, rectangular red brick building with a bell-cast, red tile roof and measures approximately 80 feet long by 20 feet wide. It features Mission Revival style details. |
31959079#1 | Berkeley Springs station | It was built in 1915 by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. At its peak in the 1920s and 1930s the railroad spur was used for shipping produce and pulpwood. It ceased use as a passenger depot in 1935. Up until the 1990s, the town's administrative office, municipal court and police department were housed in the depot. After that it was used as a music shop and art gallery, among other things. It is located within the Town of Bath Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 as the Berkeley Springs Train Depot. It is owned by the Town of Bath along with the adjoining 2.1 acres acquired from CSX. |
31959079#2 | Berkeley Springs station | A group of volunteers organized in 2008 to rehabilitate the depot. In 2009 and 2010, the West Virginia State Historic Preservation Office and the Governor's Office of Economic Development provided a grant to the town for initial work to repair the roof and in 2010, the WV Eastern Panhandle Regional Planning and Development Council awarded the town a $32,000 West Virginia Energy Efficiency & Conservation Grant to pay some of the cost of installation and replacement of the HVAC system and insulation. That year, extensive carpentry repair of the roof sheathing was performed and during the summer, most of the historic roof tiles were removed and stored for incorporating into a roof rehabilitation. Then, in 2011, the depot was issued a Federal Highway Administration Transportation Enhancement grant to refurbish the distinctive tile roof, restore the interior to its 1915-era look and rehabilitate some of the surrounding land. Work on the first phase of the rehabilitation, dealing with the exterior and the roof, begin in April 2015. The tiles that were removed and those that were missing were an exact match to those from 100 years ago. In 2016, the Town received a federal Transportation Alternatives grant toward design of the interior restoration; hazardous material remediation; waterproofing of the structure's cellar; electrical-system and plumbing upgrades; and design of a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. |
31959079#3 | Berkeley Springs station | Suggested uses of the structure include a welcome center for the state, county and town or a local museum that focuses on the railroading history of the town. |

31959139#0 | EuroCity in Germany | The German rail network provides connections to each of its neighbouring countries, many of which are under the EuroCity classification. EuroCity services are part of the Intercity network - many EC services represented a couple of train pairs on an IC route extended across the border, while other routes are served primarily by EuroCity services. EuroCity services are generally locomotive-hauled, using Intercity rolling stock, either from Deutsche Bahn or one of the other countries along the route. |
31959139#1 | EuroCity in Germany | Below is a list of current EuroCity services in Germany. |
31959139#2 | EuroCity in Germany | † Name no longer in use. |
31959139#3 | EuroCity in Germany | A number of trains provide international connections, but are classed as Intercity rather than Eurocity. This may be because the routes were former InterRegio services, or they only travel a short distance over the border. |
31959139#4 | EuroCity in Germany | The ICE network has grown since its introduction, and there are now services to Aarhus, Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen, Interlaken, Paris, Vienna and Zurich.

31959206#0 | Walls of Nicosia | The Venetian Walls are a series of defensive walls which surround the capital city of Nicosia in Cyprus. The first city walls were built in the Middle Ages, but they were completely rebuilt in the mid-16th century by the Republic of Venice. The walls are still largely intact, and are among the best preserved Renaissance fortifications in the Eastern Mediterranean. They are a major tourist attraction. |
31959206#1 | Walls of Nicosia | The city of Nicosia, along with Valletta in Malta and Palmanova in Italy, was considered to be a practical example of an ideal city of the Renaissance, and this was due to its fortifications as well as the urban life within the city. |
31959206#2 | Walls of Nicosia | The first fortification in Nicosia was a castle built in 1211, during the Lusignan period. A large tower called Margarita Tower was built by King Peter I in 1368. Peter II built the first fortifications surrounding the entire city, and also demolished the Margarita Tower. |
31959206#3 | Walls of Nicosia | Cyprus became part of the Republic of Venice in 1489. Although the Venetian governors of the city emphasized the need for the city to be fortified, initially nothing was done to improve the fortifications. This changed following the Great Siege of Malta in 1565, when fears of Ottoman expansion increased and many Christian states in the Mediterranean began to strengthen their fortifications. |
31959206#4 | Walls of Nicosia | In 1567, the Venetians decided to fortify the city, and commissioned the Italian military engineers Giulio Savorgnan and Francesco Barbaro to design the new fortifications. The medieval fortifications, which engineers had deemed inadequate to defend the city, were demolished to make way for the new walls. The Venetians also demolished several houses, churches and palaces within the city as well as buildings lying outside the new walls, both for the acquisition of building materials and for a clearer field of vision for the defence of the city. |
31959206#5 | Walls of Nicosia | At the same time, the Pedieos River was diverted outside the city to protect the residents from flooding and to fill the moat encircling the new walls. |
31959206#6 | Walls of Nicosia | The Fourth Ottoman–Venetian War broke out when the fortifications were still incomplete. Ottomans under Piali Pasha invaded Cyprus on 1 July 1570, and began the siege of Nicosia on 22 July. The city held out until 9 September, when the Ottomans breached the wall at Podocattaro Bastion. The Ottomans then killed the defenders and captured the remaining inhabitants. |
31959206#7 | Walls of Nicosia | After the end of the siege, Lala Mustafa Pasha left a garrison of 4000 soldiers and 1000 cavalry in the city. The city then experienced a steady decline. Although the Ottomans repaired the fortifications after the siege, by the early 17th century, they were "breached or decayed" and the city was practically defenceless. |
31959206#8 | Walls of Nicosia | The city eventually began to experience a revival in the mid-19th century. It was still confined within the walls when the British occupied Cyprus in 1878. An opening was made near Paphos Gate in 1879 to facilitate access to the surrounding area. Further openings were made within the walls during the 20th century. |
31959206#9 | Walls of Nicosia | The Venetian walls of Nicosia have a circular shape, with a circumference of c. 5 km. The walls contain eleven pentagonal bastions with rounded orillons, similar to the bastions of Palmanova. The bastions are named after eleven families, pillars of the Italian aristocracy of the town, who donated funds towards the construction of the walls. The eleven bastions are:
Caraffa to Tripoli Bastions lie within the southern half of the city, in the Republic of Cyprus. Roccas to Loredan Bastions lie in the Turkish-occupied north, while Flatro Bastion lies in the UN Buffer Zone.
The city has three gates: |
31959206#10 | Walls of Nicosia | Experts have considered the walls to be a prime example of 16th century military architecture. Their design incorporates specific innovative techniques, marking the beginning of a renaissance era in fortification construction. These include the positioning of gates to the side of the adjoining bastions, so they could be more easily protected in times of siege, and leaving the upper half of the wall unlined with masonry, to increase its ability to absorb the impact from cannon shot. |
31959206#11 | Walls of Nicosia | Despite this, the fortifications had several shortcomings, mainly since they were still incomplete when they were captured by the Ottomans. The bastions have no "piazza-bassa" or cavaliers, and the curtain walls are quite low when compared to other contemporary city walls such as the fortifications of Heraklion and the fortifications of Valletta. The fortifications also lacked outworks. |
