The Witch's Curse () is a 1962 peplum-fantasy film, directed by Riccardo Freda. ==Plot== In the mid-1500s, a witch is burned in Scotland and places a curse on the inhabitants before she dies. One hundred years later, the tree she was chained to and burned still stands with no one daring to destroy it. The curse remains by forcing women to commit suicide. The witch's descendant, Martha Gunt, is sentenced to be burned for witchcraft. As she is placed in a prison cell, Maciste comes forth to fight evil. When he uproots the cursed tree, he finds an entrance to Hell where he attempts to track down the original witch to rescind her curse and attempts to help the damned from their plight. ==Cast== * Kirk Morris as Maciste * Hélène Chanel as Fania * Vira Silenti as Martha Gaunt * Andrea Bosic as Judge Parrish * Charles Fernley Fawcett as the Doctor * Remo De Angelis as Prometheus * John Karlsen * Gina Mascetti * Puccio Ceccarelli ==Production== The Castellana caves which still serve as a tourist attraction, were used for the underground scenes. The sequences set in the Hell were entirely filmed in the Castellana Caves, in the province of Bari. Maciste, the leading character, was turned during the filming into an almost mute character as Freda was very unhappy with the acting skills of the main actor Kirk Morris. The film is referred as "an interpretation of mythology cum the gothic horror genre". ==Release== The Witch's Curse was released in Italy on April 11, 1962.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) is an international educational and scientific association of transportation professionals who are responsible for meeting mobility and safety needs. ITE facilitates the application of technology and scientific principles to research, planning, functional design, implementation, operation, policy development, and management for any mode of ground transportation. ==History== The organization formed in 1930 amid growing public demand for experts to alleviate traffic congestion and the frequency of crashes that came from the rapid development of automotive transportation. It formed as the Institute of Traffic Engineers and its first president was Ernest P. Goodrich. The organization consists of 10 districts, 62 sections, and 30 chapters from various parts of the world. ==Standards development== ITE is also a standards development organization designated by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). One of the current standardization efforts is the advanced transportation controller. ITE is also known for publishing articles about trip generation, parking generation, parking demand, and various transportation-related material through ITE Journal, a monthly publication. ==Criticism== Urbanists such as Jeff Speck have criticized ITE standards for encouraging towns to build more, wider streets making pedestrians less safe and cities less walkable. Donald Shoup in his book The High Cost of Free Parking argues that ITE estimates give towns the false confidence to regulate minimum parking requirements which reinforce sprawl. ==See also== * National Transportation Communications for Intelligent Transportation System Protocol (NTCIP) * Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers ==References== ==External links== * Category:Transportation engineering Category:Organizations based in Washington, D.C.

The Indian Canyon Ranger Station in the Duchesne Ranger District, Ashley National Forest in Duchesne County, Utah near Duchesne was built in 1914. It was a work of the U.S. Forest Service and is a wood-framed guard station. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1999; the listing included two contributing buildings and two contributing structures. It was deemed significant as "an extant reminder of the early days of the Forest Service in Utah", when rangers were needed to monitor the remote lands. The station is the oldest surviving from the original Uinta National Forest (which included its area until 1954), and one of the oldest surviving in the Ashley National Forest that was "built specifically by the Forest Service to house a ranger." It was built before standardized architectural plans were developed for U.S. Forest Service buildings, and is "unique in its architecture, with no other similar Forest Service buildings existing in Northern Utah." and

Globularia
Genus of flowering plants in the plantain family Plantaginaceae
Globularia is a genus of about 22 species of flowering plants in the family Plantaginaceae, native to central and southern Europe, Macaronesia, northwest Africa and southwest Asia. They are dense low evergreen mat-forming perennials or subshrubs, with leathery oval leaves 1–10 cm long. The flowers are produced in dense inflorescences (capitula) held above the plant on a 1–30 cm tall stem; the capitula is 1–3 cm in diameter, with numerous tightly packed purple, violet, pink or white flowers. Globularia species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora virgatella. Several members of the genus, such as Globularia cordifolia and Globularia punctata, are cultivated and sold for garden use. Under the old Cronquist system of plant classification, they were treated in their own family, Globulariaceae, but genetic evidence has shown that the genus belongs in the family Plantaginaceae. Most species are known as globe daisies or globularias.

Windjammer
Commercial sailing ship with multiple masts and rig configurations
A windjammer is a commercial sailing ship with multiple masts that may be square rigged, or fore-and-aft rigged, or a combination of the two. The informal term "windjammer" arose during the transition from the Age of Sail to the Age of Steam during the 19th century. The Oxford English Dictionary records the word "windjamming" from 1886 and "windjammer" with reference to a ship from 1892. The term has evolved to include such a vessel, carrying passengers on overnight cruises in the Caribbean, the U.S. state of Maine and elsewhere.

The production camera was set back unusually far from the action, and subsequently filmed only wide shots and no close-ups. == Canceled release == The film was slated for a March 1927 premiere at New York's Roxy Theatre, which was to have been equipped to show films in Natural Vision. However, producer Spoor refused to release the film because it was "poorly made". Director Blackton protested, claiming that he had not been allowed to complete the picture, and had not been fully paid for his work. == See also == * List of film formats * Widescreen == References == ;Citations ;Works cited * == External links == * * Category:1927 Western (genre) films Category:1927 lost films Category:1927 films Category:American black-and-white films Category:Films based on short fiction Category:Films directed by J.

Cayenne jay
Species of bird
The Cayenne jay (Cyanocorax cayanus) is a species of bird in the family Corvidae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and heavily degraded former forest. In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the Cayenne jay in his Ornithologie based on a specimen collected in Cayenne, French Guiana. He used the French name Le geay de Cayenne and the Latin Garrulus Cayanensis. The two stars (**) at the start of the section indicates that Brisson based his description on the examination of a specimen. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson. One of these was the Cayenne jay. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Corvus cayanus and cited Brisson's work. This species is now placed in the genus Cyanocorax that was introduced by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826. No subspecies are recognised.
