Fifty-one state chapters of the National Junior Classical League are currently active in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom: one for every U.S. state except for Alaska, Idaho and Iowa; one for the District of Columbia; one for each of the Canadian provinces Ontario and Quebec (British Columbia shares its chapter with Washington state); and a single chapter for the U.K.
Below is the complete list of NJCL state chapters. Each entry includes the chapter's location, a link to its sub-section within the article (if one exists), the number of local chapters affiliated with it (e.g., high school Latin Clubs) and its total number of individual members.
The Arizona JCL has over 1,000 members and has consistently sent delegates to the National Convention every year. The head of the program is Sarah Palumbo. There are occasional Certamen competitions held around the state aside from the State Convention, with Arizona State University holding an annual Certamen competition.
Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement which hardens over time. Most use of the term "concrete" refers to Portland cement concrete or to concretes made with other hydraulic cements, such as ciment fondu. However, road surfaces are also a type of concrete, "asphaltic concrete", where the cement material is bitumen.
In Portland cement concrete (and other hydraulic cement concretes), when the aggregate is mixed together with the dry cement and water, they form a fluid mass that is easily molded into shape. The cement reacts chemically with the water and other ingredients to form a hard matrix which binds all the materials together into a durable stone-like material that has many uses. Often, additives (such as pozzolans or superplasticizers) are included in the mixture to improve the physical properties of the wet mix or the finished material. Most concrete is poured with reinforcing materials (such as rebar) embedded to provide tensile strength, yielding reinforced concrete.
Concrete is the ninth studio album by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin. The album continues the iTunes-exclusive pattern, and was released in 2008.

Concrete is an album by Fear Factory, released on July 30, 2002. It contains demos of songs recorded in 1991, and all of them (except "Concrete", "Sangre de Niños", "Soulwomb", "Echoes of Innocence", "Deception", "Anxiety", "Piss Christ" and "Ulceration") were re-recorded a year later on their debut album Soul of a New Machine.
Although released in 2002, Concrete was originally recorded in 1991 in Blackie Lawless's studios. It was intended to be their first release, but the band wasn't happy with the record deal they were in, so they left their producer, Ross Robinson.
When they were taken to court, Robinson won the rights to the album, and the band won the rights to the songs. So Fear Factory ended up re-recording eight of the tracks from this album for their official 1992 debut, Soul of a New Machine. Fear Factory recorded under the name "Factoría de Miedo" (which is Fear Factory in Spanish) to hide from their label.
Incidentally, Robinson ended up using this album to promote himself, which would eventually lead him to producing Korn, which would make him the most sought-out nu metal producer of the 1990s. The band's record label (Roadrunner) released this album after their (now temporary) breakup to fulfill their contractual duties.
Landscape was an English Synthpop band, best known for the 1981 hits "Einstein A Go-Go" and "Norman Bates." Formed in London in 1974, the band toured constantly during the mid-to-late-1970s, playing rock, punk, and jazz venues and releasing two instrumental EPs on its own Event Horizon label. The group began experimenting with computer-programmed music and electronic drums in the late 1970s and early 1980s, making records in the emerging genre of synthpop.
Landscape was composed of Richard James Burgess (vocals, drums), Christopher Heaton (keyboards), Andy Pask (bass), Peter Thoms (trombone, keyboards), and John Walters (keyboards, woodwinds). The band built a following through live performances and touring before releasing their debut album Landscape in 1980. Their next album in 1981, From the Tea-Rooms of Mars...to the Hell-Holes of Uranus led to the Top Five U.K. hit "Einstein A-Go-Go." Their third album in 1982, Manhattan Boogie-Woogie was well received as a dance album. After release of this album, Heaton and Thoms left the band.
Landscape painting, also known as landscape art, is the depiction in art of landscapes – natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, especially where the main subject is a wide view – with its elements arranged into a coherent composition. In other works landscape backgrounds for figures can still form an important part of the work. Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather is often an element of the composition. Detailed landscapes as a distinct subject are not found in all artistic traditions, and develop when there is already a sophisticated tradition of representing other subjects. The two main traditions spring from Western painting and Chinese art, going back well over a thousand years in both cases. The recognition of a spiritual element in landscape art is present from its beginnings in East Asian art, drawing on Daoism and other philosophical traditions, but in the West only becomes explicit with Romanticism.
Landscape (1813–1834) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won the classic Oaks Stakes at Epsom Downs Racecourse in 1816. The filly's entire racing career consisted of one run in 1815 followed by three races in the space of thirteen days in June 1816. After winning the Oaks on her second racecourse appearance, she finished first and second in races at Ascot. Already pregnant at the time of her classic success, Landscape was retired from racing after Ascot and produced her first foal in the following spring.
Landscape was a bay mare bred by her owner General John Leveson Gower who had won the Oaks with Maid of Orleans in 1809. Her sire, Rubens was a successful racehorse, who at the time of Landscape's conception was covering mares at Wheeler's Farm near Wokingham in Berkshire at a fee of 15 guineas. He sired two other classic winning fillies in Pastille, who won the 2000 Guineas and Oaks in 1816 and Whizgig, who won the 1000 Guineas in the same year. Rubens was champion sire in 1815, 1821 and 1822. Landscape's dam Housemaid (also known as Iris) produced several other good winners including Raphael, who finished second to Whisker in the 1815 Epsom Derby and Rainbow, who became a successful stallion in France.
