Structure 81 is grouped with Structures 79 and 80 in the North Group. It is also a large elite platform dating to the Terminal Classic associated with Seibal-style artifacts. It was a vaulted building built completely from worked stone, although it has now collapsed. Excavations under the floor of the building revealed three ceramic vessels associated with animal remains that included jaguar teeth. A well-preserved decorated vessel was under these and on top of some fragments of human remains, also including teeth. |

The Ballcourt at Punta de Chimino dates to the Terminal Classic. It is the largest yet found in the Petexbatún region and is similar in both size and style to the Terminal Classic ballcourt C-9 at the city of Seibal, on the bank of the Pasión River. The ballcourt has open end zones and is unusually large for such a small site, perhaps owing its construction to the political intervention of Seibal. |

Burial 4 was interred in a small cist measuring , located under Structure 7. By the time the cist was excavated it had been practically destroyed by tree roots, scattering the bones. A rough greenstone pendant was associated with the remains, together with a greenstone bead, a tripod plate, a polychrome ceramic bowl and perforated seashells. The burial has been dated to the beginning of the Late Classic period. |

Burial 8 was deposited under the summit of Structure 7. It was not placed within a tomb but rather scattered within the infill of the pyramid. Some of the bones showed evidence of burning. The burial was accompanied by an offering of four ceramic vessels, a broken fragment of obsidian knife and a piece of greenstone. One of these was painted with a hieroglyphic text that indicated that it was the atole-drinking vessel of a lord from the nearby Petexbatún city of Tamarindito. Based on the offerings, Burial 8 has been identified as a Late Classic elite status burial. |

Burial 10 consists of a collapsed vaulted tomb found under Structure 76. Various chert and obsidian chippings were associated with the tomb, a feature common to many elite burials across the Petén region. The chamber of the tomb measured by high. The bones of the deceased were well preserved in spite of being fragmented by the collapse of the ceiling. The remains were probably that of an adult male and the body was laid out on its back with the head towards the east. The burial was accompanied by only two offerings consisting of a ceramic bowl and a plate, the style of which date it to the Late Classic sometime between AD 600 and 830. |

W264AK received a construction permit in March 1996, with the applicant name "Smithers Diversified Businesses, Inc." doing business as "Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls, Inc." It received its license on January 22, 1997, with the licensee "Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls, Inc." From 1997-April 2010, 100.7 was a fulltime repeater of KAWZ of Twin Falls, Idaho.

On December 10, 2009, the Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls applied to the Federal Communications Commission to transfer the license for the translator to Cumulus Media. In return, CSN acquired WTOD (1560 AM) from Cumulus Broadcasting; no money was exchanged between the two parties. Following the deal's consummation, W264AK was reassigned to rebroadcast WXKR's HD2 digital subchannel and changed frequencies to 100.9 MHz—accordingly with the serially assigned W265CB call sign—and adopted a modern rock format as "100.9 The Zone"; the format itself had previously been carried on the former "106.5 The Zone" WRWK (106.5 FM). Following numerous interference complaints from listeners to WRIF, which operates on the first-adjacent signal of 101.1 MHz in Detroit, W265CB was reassigned back to 100.7 MHz on July 29, 2010; WXKR's branding accordingly changed to "100.7 The Zone" and the translator call sign reverted to W264AK. |

After a few days of stunting. Cumulus changed WXKR-HD2's format to Top 40/CHR as "100.7 The Vibe" on May 5, 2011, again with W264AK as the analog relay; the modern rock format was transferred to a newly launched HD3 subchannel. This format lasted until March 19, 2012, when the modern rock format was transferred back to WXKR-HD2 and W264AK again as "100.7 The Zone" amid a series of format and personnel changes, including the moving of The Andrew Z Morning Show from "The Vibe" over to WWWM (105.5 FM); WXKR-HD3 was also discontinued. By 2014, the program source for W264AK was transferred from WXKR-HD2 to WWWM-HD2. |

Following Cumulus' closure of WLQR (1470 AM) on September 24, 2016, WQQO-HD2 assumed WLQR's talk radio format that September 28, branded "Talk Radio 100.7"; the move was necessitated following issues at WLQR's transmitter site, of which the repairs were cost-prohibitive. |

WQQO-HD2 switched formats from talk radio back to modern rock on November 1, 2019, again branded as "100.7 The Zone", with morning drive hosted by WQQO evening personality Chris "Peapod" Daher and Westwood One's Rock 2.0 service accounting for all other hours. This format change also resulted in the fourth overall incarnation of "The Zone" branding in the Toledo market. |

The area is under shared jurisdiction between Albanian Agency of Protected Areas (AKZM) and Tirana Municipality Parks and Recreation Agency (APR). It is adjacent to Shtamë Pass National Park to the northwest, Kraste-Verjon Protected Landscape to the west, and Mali me Gropa-Bizë-Martanesh Protected Landscape to the east. The park is marked by an extremely fragmented, rugged topography which creates favourable conditions for a great diversity of ecosystems and biodiversity. |

Dajti massif, a mountain chain that rises to an elevation of , comprises besides Dajti, Priska to the south, Tujani in the center and Brari to the north. Climbers of the mountain can view down into the city of Tirana and over the mountains of the region. Due to the panoramic view, this place has been named as the Balcony of Tirana. One of Tirana's main water sources, Lake Bovilla, is located to the northeast of Brar with steep cliffs and a canyon. On the other extremity of the park along Erzen River is found the prehistoric Pellumbas Cave located in the Skorana Gorge, which has been formed by the river. Another natural attraction is the Shëngjini Waterfalls located near Shëngjergj village. |
27319950_1_0 | 27319950 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dajti%20National%20Park | Dajti National Park | Dajti National Park. Flora and Fauna
Dajti's varied geology and topography have resulted in a variety of flora and fauna. In addition to the forests and mountain landscapes with many wild flowers, numerous mammals are protected as well. The park is inhabited by wild boar, Eurasian wolf, red fox, European hare, brown bear, squirrel, and European wildcat. In the lower part of the mountains, the vegetation consists of scrubland and heath, myrtle and fragaria. Oak dominates at around 600-1,000 m altitude interspersed with beech and maple forests and some conifers above 1,000 m altitude. The rocky top has little vegetation. |

In the 2010s, deforestation has become a major problem on the mountain. In the summer of 2012 and spring 2019, forest fires burned down 10 ha of forests at the Priska summit and partially Dajti in 2017, requiring authorities to extinguish it only with the help of helicopters. The damage was extensive at the summits and can be clearly seen from Tirana. |

EE (formerly Everything Everywhere) is a British mobile network operator and internet service provider, which is a brand within the BT Group. EE is the second-largest mobile network operator in the United Kingdom, with 26.1 million subscribers as of September 2021. |
27320002_0_1 | 27320002 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EE%20Limited | EE Limited | EE Limited.
The EE company was formed in 2010 as a joint venture between Deutsche Telekom and France Télécom (now Orange S.A.). It was acquired by BT in January 2016 and has been part of BT's consumer division since April 2018, operating under three brands: BT, EE, and Plusnet. |

EE has its headquarters in Hatfield, England, and has main offices in London, Bristol, Darlington, Sunderland, Greenock, Merthyr Tydfil, Newcastle upon Tyne, Plymouth and Leeds. As of November 2016, EE's 4G and 2G networks' combined coverage reaches more than 99% of the UK population, with double speed 4G reaching 80%, while EE's 3G network reaches 98% of the population. |

Deutsche Telekom and France Télécom (now Orange S.A.) announced plans to merge their respective UK ventures – T-Mobile UK and Orange UK – on 8 September 2009. T-Mobile's UK unit had its origins in Mercury Communications, formed in 1989, while Orange had launched its services in 1994. |
27320002_1_1 | 27320002 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EE%20Limited | EE Limited | EE Limited. Origins
The initial planning suggested a joint revenue of around £7.7 billion for 2008, with savings via synergies expected to total around "over £445 million annually from 2014 onwards". The two companies also announced an expected investment of "£600 to £800 million in integration costs". A press release outlined a vision for the two brands, stating that "the T-Mobile UK and Orange UK brands will be maintained separately for 18 months". The merger was cleared by the European Commission on 1 March 2010; no new company was formed, but instead T-Mobile (UK) Limited was renamed to Everything Everywhere Limited in July. |
27320002_1_2 | 27320002 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EE%20Limited | EE Limited | EE Limited. Origins
The 50:50 joint venture was announced as completed on 1 April 2010, and the name Everything Everywhere was announced on 11 May 2010. On the same day the company confirmed that "roaming across both networks [would be] due later in that year, at no additional cost to the customer" and further emphasised the separation of the brands, saying that each brand would maintain "its own shops, marketing campaigns, propositions and service centres". |

The companies' network sharing plans (allowing Orange customers to utilise T-Mobile's 2G signal and vice versa) were released to customers on 11 October 2010. The "switch-on" was rolled out utilising an opt-in page on each brand's website. However, the rollout did not initially include automatic network roaming mid-call or the two brands' 3G services. |

On 18 July 2011, Tom Alexander announced unexpectedly that he would step down as CEO. Alexander had joined Orange in 2008 and had led the company since its formation on 1 July 2010. It was announced that he would leave his post on 31 August 2011 and therefore as from 1 September 2011, he would be replaced by Olaf Swantee, who had held the position of Executive VP of European Activities and Sourcing for France Télécom in addition to being a member of EE's board. Alexander said that he would remain with the company throughout the remainder of 2011 and continue to advise Swantee in his new role. Swantee is seen as having done an exceptional job in leading the group through the challenges of rebranding and the launch of a new technology, and was named the mobile industry's person of the year in 2013 as a result.
On 2 November 2011 Everything Everywhere announced plans to cut a further 550 back office staff, with its sites in Bristol, Darlington, Hatfield, and Paddington affected. |

In April 2012, the T-Mobile network in Northern Ireland was switched off, meaning that all customers there roam onto Orange. However, later most T-Mobile sites were turned back on as EE has a mast sharing agreement with 3 (MBNL). |
27320002_1_6 | 27320002 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EE%20Limited | EE Limited | EE Limited. 2012: rebranding to EE
Everything Everywhere announced on 22 August 2012 that it would introduce a third brand as part of a future 4G launch to sit alongside Orange and T-Mobile, and that Everything Everywhere would continue as the company's legal name. Further speculation commenced on 7 September 2012 when the company announced details of a press conference on the morning of 11 September 2012, the earliest date set by Ofcom to launch 4G services. It was also noted that this date was only 24 hours earlier than the expected launch of the latest generation of iPhone (the iPhone 5), thereby arousing suspicion that the new iPhone would support 4G and that Everything Everywhere would launch its service on this widely anticipated handset. Other commentators suggested that the HTC One XL would be the first handset to launch utilising Everything Everywhere's 4G network.
