Waiale'e Beach Park is located on the North Shore of O'ahu and is not to be confused with the Waialae Beach Park near Kahala on the South Shore. This is a small white sandy beach with some tide pools and a little island right off the coast. There is no surf here, and this is not a popular beach by any means, but it's perfect for anyone looking to get away from the crowds at the famous beaches nearby. The water isn't too rough here other than in the winter, and there are some rocky areas to walk around and check out the little fish in the tide pools. You can swim out to Kukaimanini Island (seen in the distance of the photograph above), but there is no beach and the waves crash steadily on the rocky coast.

Prince Charming is the tritagonist of Disney's 1950 animated feature film Cinderella. As his name suggests, he is the prince of a faraway kingdom, known for his dashing and handsome air. On the night of a royal ball, Charming falls in love with a mysterious maiden. Before he could learn her name, the maiden flees the castle, leaving only a glass slipper behind. The enamored Charming thus vows to use the slipper to find and marry his true love.
Cinderella is the protagonist of Disney's 1950 animated feature film of the same name. After the death of her mother, her father remarried, believing that she "needed a mother's care". He died shortly thereafter, upon which she was forced to work as a scullery maid for her wicked stepmother, Lady Tremaine and two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella. Despite the cruelty of her jealous stepfamily, Cinderella remained kind, spirited, and internally beautiful. Her faith and everlasting optimism manifested itself into a Fairy Godmother, whose magic served as a catalyst for Cinderella's ascent from servant to princess.
Cinderella is also the second official member of the Disney Princess line-up, preceded only by Snow White.

Ordered by General James Oglethorpe, Governor of the 13th colony, in 1732, the Tybee Island Light Station has been guiding mariners safe entrance into the Savannah River for over 285 years. The Tybee Island Light Station is one of America's most intact light station having all of its historic support buildings on its three-acre site. Rebuilt several times the current Lighthouse displays its 1916 day mark with 178 steps and a First Order Fresnel Lens.
Under the direction of Noble Jones of Wormsloe Plantation, work began on the first day-mark (a lighthouse without a light) built on Tybee. It was constructed in 1736. It was octagonal in shape and was constructed of brickwork and cedar piles. Standing 90 feet tall, it was the tallest structure of its kind in America at that time. Unfortunately, storms took their toll on Tybee’s first day-mark. Five years after its completion, a new day-mark was commissioned. While work was progressing on a new day-mark, a storm swept the old day-mark away in August 1741.
In 1742, the second day-mark built on Tybee was completed. It was described by Oglethorpe as “the best building of that kind in America.” It was different from its predecessor, standing 94 feet with a flagstaff which ran from the nave to the top of the beacon. By 1748, the sea was within thirty feet of the day-mark. Piles were driven into the sand to support the foundations. Unfortunately, that is when the sea started to encroach, reaching the very door of the day-mark. A new day-mark was needed and time was running out.
In 1768, with the sea lapping at the foundation of the day-mark, the Georgia Assembly authorized a new day-mark/lighthouse to be built. This time a site well removed from the sea was chosen and the building was completed in early 1773. The day-mark/lighthouse was ceded to the Federal Government from the colony of Georgia in 1790. The United States Lighthouse Establishment then took over the operation of the day-mark turning it into a lighthouse and in 1791, the 100 foot tall brick and wood structure was lit with spermaceti candles for the first time.
In 1861, the wooden stairs and the top 40 feet of the tower were destroyed during the Civil War when Confederate troops, retreating to Fort Pulaski, set fire to the tower in order to prevent the Union troops from using it to guide their ships into port.
After the Civil War, the Lighthouse Establishment began work on rebuilding the Tybee Light. The lower 60 feet of the old lighthouse was still intact, and it was decided to add to the existing structure instead anew. The lighthouse was now to be a first order station, consisting of masonry and metal only. It was completely fireproof. This is the lighthouse that stands today.
The Tybee Island Museum is housed in a historic Endicott Period Battery, which was built as a part of Fort Screven during the Spanish-American War in 1899.
Fort Screven was an important military post of the Spanish American War (1898). Most of its batteries were not completed in time for that war, and the Spanish never threatened an attack on Savannah and the fort never came under fire.
Fort Screven had 7 batteries, 6 on Tybee Island and a seventh, Battery Hambright, near Fort Pulaski. Battery Garland now houses the Tybee Island Museum and is open to the public. The others can be seen from the street and beach, but are not publicly accessible.

DuBose Memorial Church Training School is located in the Cumberland Plateau resort community of Monteagle, Tennessee. A shaded, hard-surfaced driveway encircles the complex of buildings and connects the northwest corner of the 1.4 acres to State Route 56. The property includes the nucleus of the 26-acre DuBose Episcopal Conference Center. Three buildings represent the influence of Mission Style architecture. Claiborne Hall (seen in the photograph above), built in 1924, is located at the southern end of the property and faces U.S. Highway 41 to the south. The Alfred Duane Pell Library, built in 1930, is located to the northwest of Claiborne Hall and faces State Route 56 to the west. These two buildings are connected by an arcade. Located behind the Pell Library in the northeastern section of the property is the maintenance building, constructed in 1948. This building exhibits similar architectural characteristics to the two earlier buildings. In 1975 a lodging unit designed by Holiday Inns was added to the northern end of the Pell Library and, in 1978, a new chapel was built in the center of the library's rear (east) elevation. The chapel is sympathetic in overall appearance to the library. A Bishop's residence (1950), a swimming pool & shelter, and cabins are located outside the drive which serves as the boundary to the overall area.
The DuBose Memorial Church Training School has made significant contributions in the areas of religion, education, and architecture. DuBose School was the first Episcopal institution in the United States to train older men for the ministry; it served this function from 1921 to 1945. DuBose School was one of the few institutions in Tennessee designed in the Spanish Mission style. The Mission Style flourished primarily in the Southwestern United States between 1890 and 1920. In 1920, Rev. Dr. William Sterling Claiborne, archdeacon of Sewanee and East Tennessee for the Protestant Episcopal Church, wrote:
"We hope to develop a Missionary College to take men of mature life, who have not had the opportunity of college & seminary, and give them intensive work along the lines that will fit them to meet our rural problems. This undertaking will meet the requirements of a canon passed by the last General Convention, (1919) providing for a localized ministry. We have the canon and we have the men, so we have been informed, and I believe it is true, but we have no place in America to train these men. We have been thinking over this problem for some years, and now have on foot a plan to meet this demand."
In 1921, Rev. Dr. Claiborne and Rev. Dr. Mercer P. Logan fulfilled the plan when they founded the DuBose Memorial Church Training School in the Cumberland Plateau community of Monteagle in Grundy County, Tennessee. They located DuBose School in an area with an existing rich Episcopalian educational heritage. The original building was occupied by the Fairmount School for Young Ladies, or the unofficial "female branch of Sewanee", from 1872 to 1917. Sewanee, or the University of the South is located five miles south-west of DuBose School. Claiborne and Logan named the institution in honor of the Very Rev. William Porcher DuBose, founder and Dean of the Theological Department of the University of the South in 1878 and from 1893 to 1908; chaplain of Fairmount School from 1877 to 1917; and a planner of DuBose School. Episcopalian Historian, W. Norman Pittenger called DuBose "the only important creative theologian that the Episcopal Church in the United States has produced."
The original two-story frame building burned beyond repair in 1924. Strickland, Bladgett, and Law, a national architectural firm, designed a new building with administrative, educational, religious, and lodging quarters, in the Spanish Mission Style mentioned above. Architect Charles A. Bearden of Chattanooga supervised the construction of the building, which cost $100,000, during the same year. The building was named Claiborne Hall in honor of Rev. Dr. W. S. Claiborne.
Architect William Crutchfield of Chattanooga, an associate of Bearden, designed & supervised the construction of the Alfred Duane Pell Library, in the same Spanish Mission style, in 1930. Mrs. Pell, of New York City, funded the construction of the Library in honor of her late husband, also a benefactor of DuBose School. The Alfred Duane Pell Library contained 20,000 volumes in 1939, some of which were removed to the library at the University of the South after DuBose School closed.
Students, who numbered 50 in 1939, worked on the 60 acre school farm,which included a dairy, in order to defray expenses. Married students lived off campus in school-owned housing. DuBose Memorial Church Training School produced "some outstanding priests and bishops" until it closed in 1945 due to the assumption of the responsibility of training older men for the priesthood by conventional seminaries. The Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee has since utilized Claiborne Hall and the Alfred Duane Pell Library as the nucleus of the DuBose Conference Center.
On November 25, 1980, the DuBose Memorial Church Training School was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

A total solar eclipse is an awe-inspiring phenomenon where the Moon completely blocks the view of the Sun. Before and after totality, there is a partial solar eclipse. During totality, viewers are in the Moon’s shadow or umbra. But, the sky doesn’t go completely dark. Instead, you see parts of Sun that are not ordinarily visible, such as the corona and solar prominences.
One of these phenomenon is the Diamond Ring Effect. It takes place just before totality and right before totality ends (also known as the second and third contact). At this point, the Moon almost fully covers the Sun and a final bright spot of sunlight called the “diamond” remains visible. This striking visual effect resembles a diamond ring as seen above, hence the name.
