Census estimates, the population of the city is 55,477 as of 2017, it is named after the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, located in Coolidge. "Casa Grande" is Spanish for "big house". Among resident English speakers, there is no consensus on. Casa Grande was founded in 1879 by The Carter Family during the Arizona mining boom due to the presence of the Southern Pacific Railroad. In January 1880, the community of Terminus, meaning "end-of-the-line," was established despite consisting of just five residents and three buildings. In September 1880, railroad executives renamed the settlement Casa Grande, after the Hohokam ruins at the nearby Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. Casa Grande grew and suffered several setbacks both in 1886 and 1893, when fires ravaged the town, destroying all wooden housing structures within it; when the mining boom slowed in the 1890s, the town was nearly abandoned, but with the advent of agriculture, the town remained alive and well, was incorporated in 1915.

One of the founding fathers of Casa Grande was Thompson Rodney Peart. Peart Road, Peart Park, the Peart Center, all of which are notable fixtures of Casa Grande, are named after him. Casa Grande was home to a collective farm society, part of the New Deal. According to historian David Leighton, during World War II, from 1942 to 1945, a Japanese-American relocation camp was set up outside of Casa Grande, known as the Gila River War Relocation Center. Two notable people that were interned there were future actor Pat Morita and baseball player Kenichi Zenimura, who constructed a baseball field and set up a league in the relocation camp. Casa Grande is home to Francisco Grande Hotel & Golf Resort, former spring training location for the San Francisco Giants.

Omoa is a town and a municipality in the Department of Cortés of Honduras. Omoa is located on a small bay of the same name 18 km west of Puerto Cortés on the Caribbean Sea coast. Omoa is both a municipality and a small town located along the Northwest Caribbean coast of Honduras, it is populated by about 30,000 people distributed within an area of 382.8 km². In 1536 Omoa was a small "pueblo de indios" allocated in repartimiento by Pedro de Alvarado to Luis del Puerto along with the nearby Indian town of Chachaguala, but by 1582 Omoa had ceased to exist as a viable community. Repeated pirate raids on coastal towns along the Caribbean coast of Central America led the Spanish Crown as early as 1590 to begin looking for a new defensible port for the Captaincy General of Guatemala to export its goods to Spain; this initial study by Antonelli, many subsequent ones, all pointed to the bay at Omoa as the most defensible location along the coast west of Trujillo. Omoa was founded again in 1752 as a Spanish colonial town.

The governor of Honduras, Pantaleón Ibánez, described that the town they planned would include a hospital, a building for the royal treasury, a church, barracks for soldiers, houses for the officers. The town itself was to house the people who would build and occupy the two Spanish forts which would guard the bay. Construction of El Real began in 1752 and was finished around 1756. El Real was used to defend the port town while the much larger fort of San Fernando de Omoa was built next to it. San Fernando de Omoa was finished around 1774; this historic place had as its main purpose to protect against the pirates. The construction of the fortress did not end until piracy had declined. After the independence of Honduras in 1821, the fortress was used as a prison by the Honduran authorities through the 1950s; the English occupied the town in 1779 and burned its 200 buildings. In the late 18th century, Omoa had a diverse population of Spanish, enslaved Africans and free blacks. For a long time, Omoa was one of the most important ports in Honduras.

That importance began to fade in the 1820s when the place was destroyed a couple of times by fires, the bay began to silt up, nearby Puerto Cortes was developed. The first railroad connecting Puerto Cortes with San Pedro Sula was developed in the 1880s, reducing Omoa to a fishing village. Omoa had a cattle industry, with most of the cattle being maintained for Honduran use. Omoa has a large fishing industry. Other sources of income come from tourism and of the fortress of San Fernando, the largest of Central America and one of the few surviving colonial fortresses in the Americas. Omoa's most striking feature is the Fortaleza de San Fernando de Omoa, an 18th-century Spanish fort, though there are two forts there; the earlier Fort Real was started in 1752, remodelled in 1759. Next to Fort Real, the Fort of San Fernando de Omoa was constructed from 1756 through 1775. On 15 October 1779 the Royal Navy ships HMS Lowestoffe and HMS Charon were with a small squadron which arrived off the Honduras coast.

They were accompanied by HMS Pomona, HMS Racehorse, a schooner and other small craft, were hoping to intercept some treasure ships in the bay of Dulce. They found two Spanish ships which took shelter under the guns of the fortress of San Fernando de Omoa, an unsuccessful attempt was made to capture the town from the sea, they fell in with the sloop HMS Porcupine and some troop transports returning from driving the Spaniards from St George's. On 16 October, this was followed by a landing some 9 miles away at Puerto Caballo by seamen and marines from the ships, a detachment of the Royal Irish Regiment and 250 Baymen to make an overland attempt on Omoa, they underestimated the difficulties of marching first through swamps, wild, mountainous country and only covered three miles during the night. However, when they reached the town the following afternoon it soon fell, but they were unable to take the fort because the Baymen had dropped the scaling ladders they were carrying, they were supported during the attack by fire from Charon and Lowestoffe, the latter being badly damaged when she grounded for a while as she tried to get closer.

The bombardment from the sea, supplemented by fire from some guns, landed from Pomona, continued on the night of 19 October, occupying the garrison which did not notice storming parties of seamen and soldiers infiltrating the fort. The surprise was complete and there were only six British casualties; the treasure found in the fort and on board two treasure ships was worth some two million dollars. Two hundred and fifty quintals of mercury were found in the fort; the fort itself was abandoned by the British at the end of November, before a Spanish counterattack arrived. The craters from the British bombardment are still visible in the walls of the fort today. Omoa was the last Spanish stronghold in Central America; the Spanish fort was captured by the Central American Republicans under Colonel Juan Galindo. The fort was one of the few structures left standing after 1974's Hurricane Fifi destroyed the town and was a point of rescue operations afterward

Roger does so well, he comes under the eye of crooked cop Chaz Migliaccio who soon teaches Roger how to take advantage of his position. Stan observes Roger's actions and confronts him, telling him that Roger is acting dishonorably. Roger responds that he now feels like he has all the power he likes it.

Stan decides to turn Roger in as a dirty cop but Chaz gets word and orders Roger to take out Stan. He turns to find Stan he responds that he didn't give away the tape of Roger's activities because of Roger's original intention to be a good cop. With Chaz, Roger tries to break away but finds Chaz has captured Stan and orders Roger to kill him. Roger tries to turn the tables but Chaz was ready for him and shoots Roger.

After Reginald leaves, Hayley breaks up with him. Emily VanDerWerff of The A. V. Club gave the episode a C, saying "I had some mild laughs at the story of Reginald and Haley trying to fight their attraction for each other, but this storyline still feels like the show's attempts to do a continuing storyline in the background of everything else, and while that might be admirable, I'm not sure this is the continuing storyline the show should be focusing on. It wasn't a terrible episode, just a disappointing one, from a show I hold to a higher standard than any of the other three, I hope the show shakes it off quickly." The episode was watched by a total of 5.09 million people, this made it the third most watched show on Animation Domination that night, beating The Cleveland Show but losing to The Simpsons and Family Guy with 6.93 million. Media watchdog group the Parents Television Council, a frequent critic of American Dad! and other Seth MacFarlane-produced television programs, named "Cops and Roger" its "Worst TV Show of the Week" for the week ending April 16, 2010.

In its review, the PTC recognized the comedic value of slapstick in comedy, but said the scene where Roger kills Chaz, the graphic depiction therein — the explosion of Chaz's head is replayed five times — "crossed that line" between hilarious and gratuitous.

The Copper Coast Geopark is a designated area comprising a stretch of the southern coast of Ireland in County Waterford, extending for some 17 km from Kilfarrasy in the east to Stradbally in the west. It was the first geopark designated in the state, the second on the island; the coast, the geopark, are named for the historic metal-mining industry, the legacies of which now constitute a tourist attraction. The idea of the geopark developed from a local interest group, starting around 1997; the area was declared a European Geopark in 2001 and a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2004. This was done to aid in sustainability but with a hope of boosting the profile of the area as a tourist destination; this geologically diverse area contains records of Palaeozoic volcanism and the last ice age - a heritage, interpreted locally for the visitor. The geopark trust maintains a visitor centre at Monksland Church in Knockmahon, it owns an old engine house, part of the industrial heritage. The geopark is overseen by a charitable company, with voluntary local and expert directors, a staff of a part-time manager and a geologist, supported by volunteer guides, community employment workers from Solas and Tus
