Verona

Verona (Italian pronunciation: [veˈroːna]; Venetian: Verona, Veròna) is a city straddling the Adige river in Veneto, northern Italy, with approximately 265,000 inhabitants and one of the seven chef-lieus of the region. It is the second largest city municipality in the region and the third of northeast Italy. The metropolitan area of Verona covers an area of 1,426 km2 (550.58 sq mi) and has a population of 714,274 inhabitants. It is one of the main tourist destinations in northern Italy, owing to its artistic heritage, several annual fairs, shows, and operas, such as the lyrical season in the Arena, the ancient amphitheatre built by the Romans.

Three of Shakespeare's plays are set in Verona: Romeo and Juliet, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and The Taming of the Shrew. The city has been awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO because of its urban structure and architecture.

Etymology

The etymology of the name Verona is unknown. It may be derived from Vera, perhaps an Etruscan person's name; or it might be of Gallic origin; it may be the name of a Roman family or come from the Latin ver, meaning "spring". But according to one legend the legendary founder of the city, the Gallic chieftain Brenno, called the new inhabited centre Vae Roma, that is "Accursed Rome", which then over the centuries became Verona.

Verona (steamship)

The steamship Verona was a small steamboat of the Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet.

Career

Verona was built in 1910 at the Martinolich shipyard at Dockton, Washington. The vessel is best known for an event which occurred on November 5, 1916. The vessel was transporting members of the Industrial Workers of the World to Everett, Washington, in connection with a labor dispute. On arrival in Everett, a shooting broke out which has since become known as the Everett Massacre. In 1923 Verona was owned by the Union Navigation Company, a Poulsbo concern, which in that year sold the vessel to Kitsap County Transportation Co. From 1935 to 1936 Verona was owned by the Puget Sound Navigation Company.

Disposition

The aging Verona burned after completing its last night run from Bainbridge Island on Jan 10, 1936. Fireboats concentrated on saving nearby steamers.

  • Saves the Day (album)

    Saves the Day is the eponymously eighth studio album released by rock band Saves the Day. It was released September 17, 2013 on Rory Records, an imprint of Equal Vision Records, created by Say Anything frontman Max Bemis. The album was well received from music critics, praising the energy, diversity, and change in tone, although opinion was more divided than previous releases from fans.

    Background and production

    In a December 2011 interview, Chris Conley revealed that an eighth Saves the Day album was in the works and he was hoping that the band would return to the studio in the fall of 2012 to record it. On the November 23, 2012, the band announced they were making a new record but wanted the fans to get involved. They signed up to Pledge Music and offered fans everything from free downloads and album updates to limited edition T-shirts, tickets to a show and private house shows. They released a demo to 'pledgers' of one of the songs on the new album "Ain't No Kind of Love" when pledging started. For Christmas 2012, they did a cover of "Baby Please Come Home" and in the new year, Weezer's "Across the Sea". Since then, they have posted a picture of album set list and released one of their songs "Ring Pop" on YouTube along with album updates.
