Conon was an Athenian general at the end of the Peloponnesian War, who led the Athenian naval forces when they were defeated by a Peloponnesian fleet in the crucial Battle of Aegospotami. Conon had been sent out to lead the Athenian forces following the recall of Alcibiades in 406 BC, in 405 BC pursued the Peloponnesian fleet under Lysander to the Hellespont. Once there, the Peloponnesian took up a strong defensive position at Lampsacus and as they could not lure them out, the Athenians retreated to Aegospotami. Alcibiades came to warn them of the danger of their position, as they were based on an open beach without harbours, advised them to move to Sestos about two miles away from where they were retrieving supplies, it seems that Alcibiades' advice was ignored and ridiculed. On the fifth day of the stand-off, Lysander sent out scouts to spy on the Athenians, they signalled the main army. Thus when Lysander attacked the entire Athenian navy was caught unprepared and captured without resistance, all the men taken were put to death.

It was believed that some kind of treachery was involved, but Conon himself was never implicated. His ship was one of nine which escaped the disaster, boldly rushing to Lampsacus where the Spartans had left their fleet's sails and so preventing any effective means of pursuit. One of the nine Athenian ships to escape, the Paralus, returned to Athens, while Conon, with the other eight ships, fled to Evagoras of Cyprus, fearing the judgement of the Athenian people; as a result of this victory, Sparta defeated the Athenians and so attempted to carve out her own empire in the Aegean. Her relationship with Persia deteriorated, she began raiding the satrapies of Pharnabazus and Tissaphernes in Anatolia. By 397 BC, Pharnabazus had persuaded the Persian king Artaxerxes to prosecute the war by sea, raised a fleet of 300 Phoenician and Cypriot ships. In sheer numbers they would be overwhelming, but they needed an experienced commander, so they found Conon at Cyprus, only too happy for a chance to take revenge upon the Peloponnesians.

First Conon moved up to Caria with a small portion of the fleet, where he was for a time blockaded but rescued by Pharnabazus and Tissaphernes. He proceeded to Rhodes, where the pro-Spartan oligarchy was replaced by a democracy, managed to capture food supplies being sent up from Egypt. In response to this, the Spartans decided to send out their navy, but made the mistake of entrusting it to Peisander, who had no experience; the battle took place at Cnidus in 394 BC, was an easy and overwhelming Persian success. The Aegean cities expelled accepted Persian rule. After this success, Conon felt. Pharnabazus allowed him to retain part of the fleet, supplied money for the fortification of Piraeus and the reconstruction of the long walls joining it to Athens; these actions meant that some of the main results of the Peloponnesian War were undone - Athens regained her position as a major power in Greece, though she had still lost her empire, Sparta had been prevented from taking it over. The next year the Spartans had opened negotiations with the Persians, in order to secure their position in Greece offered to hand over all the cities in Anatolia to them.

The Athenians sent delegates to announce this as unacceptable, which Tiribazus understood to mean that they still hoped to recover their empire and, outraged by this about-face, threw them in prison, Conon among them. Ancient writers give conflicting accounts of his end: some claim that he was sent into the interior of Asia and put to death, his son Timotheus became another prominent general. Schmitt, Rüdiger.

The Three Forks Group is a stratigraphical unit of Famennian age in the Williston Basin. It takes the name from the city of Three Forks and was first described in outcrop near the city by A. C. Peale in 1893; the Three Forks Group is composed of Dolomite and bituminous shale. In the subsurface of the Williston Basin, the Three Forks is referred to as the Three Forks Formation, which lies between the Birdbear Formation below, the Bakken Formation above. Oil produced from the Three Forks Formation in the Williston Basin of North Dakota and south-eastern Saskatchewan is included in production statistics with the overlying Bakken Formation. For instance, the Three Forks and Bakken were combined in estimates of potential production released by the United States Geological Survey on April 30, 2013; the estimate by the USGS projects that 7.4 billion barrels of oil can be recovered from the Bakken and Three Forks formations and 6.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 530 million barrels of natural gas liquids using current technology.

The Three Forks Group can be as thin as 35 metres. The Three Forks Group conformably overlies the Saskatchewan Group and is disconformably overlain by the Madison Group, it is equivalent to the sum of the Wabamun Group and Exshaw Formation in Alberta

The Kokiri Tramway was at least from 1895 to the 1902 a forest railway with a gauge of 1,067 mm near Kokiri on the Arnold River in the west of New Zealand's South Island. William James Butler and his brother Joseph Butler had by 1892 become so wealthy that they could purchase a large saw mill at Kokiri, from which they began exporting to Australia. At Kokiri they pioneered the use of a steam-powered log hauler in New Zealand, in 1895 introduced a steam locomotive running on a wooden tramway; the use of the steam hauler resulted in great economy in hauling heavy logs from the bush. In fact, so powerful was the steam hauler that timber, which at one time had to be left in the bush, was taken out with but little trouble, their well-known sawmill, one of the largest in Westland and ranked amongst the leading sawmill businesses in the South Island, was a complete one, capable of turning out 40,000 feet of timber per week. The machinery was of the latest pattern, had been imported from England and America.

The mill was kept working full time around 1906, to supply a brisk trade in New Zealand and Australia. In the sister colonies the name of Butler Brothers has been familiar to all users of New Zealand timbers; the firm's bush in Westland covered an area of 2000 acres, consisted principally of red and silver pine. It shipped white pine in large quantities direct to Melbourne, where it was used in the manufacture of butter boxes. Acting on the advice of a Government expert, the firm at one time exported, with other merchants, large quantities of timber to London, but the results were not encouraging. Between thirty and forty men were employed in connection with the mills of the Butler Brothers, while in Westland, gained a high reputation for bridge building; the brothers sold their Kokiri mill in 1902 and subsequently focussed on a new business that they had set up as the White Pine Company of New Zealand to mill kauri and kahikatea at Naumai on the Wairoa River, which they exported to Australia

Peach Lake is a hamlet located in the town of Southeast in Putnam County, New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,629; the community of Peach Lake is located on the northeast side of a lake with the same name. The lake itself is in two counties; the community is south of Interstate 84. There are five communities. Starting on the northern shore of the lake is Ryder Farm, an Organic Farm still owned by the original family from the 1700's; the large area of Peach lake shoreline they own is the way. Going clockwise around the lake is the Starr Ridge Homeowners Association, they only have several homes on the lake, Vails Grove Cooperative 176 homes, Pietch Garden Cooperative 95 homes, Northern Westchester County Club NWCC aka "Hotel Property" 85 homes and Bloomwerside Cooperative, 99 homes. Working with the Homeowner Associations and Cooperatives around the lake and with support from the Peach Lake Environmental Committee, the Towns of Southeast and North Salem worked to improve water quality in the lake targeting the reduction of phosphorus loading.

To improve the lake's water quality the following items were finished between 2012 and 2019: The Towns of North Salem and Southeast worked with other Government agencies to fund a $31,500,000 sewer project to provide sewers to homes around the lake. The distribution system and the sewer plant on the north end of Peach Lake was finished and all 484 homes and businesses hooked up by the spring of 2013. In 2016 the Town of North Salem with a $815,000 grant from the NYS DEC and The East of Hudson Watershed Corporation installed 8 Contech "Jellyfish" catch basins around the lake to remove additional phosphorus. In the April of 2019, as part of the NYS HAB focus, Peach Lake became one of two lakes in NYS to be part of a study using Alum to lock the existing phosphorus into the sediment to further limit phosphorus loading in the lake. Continuing education of the residences is an ongoing project. Peach Lake is in two counties. Peach Lake was farmed by several families. On the west side of the lake were the Bloomer and Palmer families, on the north side the Ryder family in the town of Southeast, the Vail family were on the east side of the lake.

Prior to 1731, the eastern edge of the Bloomer farm was the border of Connecticut. The area from there to the current state border was given to New York as part of the OBLONG, EQUIVALENCY or Connecticut's Panhandle agreement; the area was a strong dairy community from the 1850s through 1915, when the Borden Condensed Milk factory was in production in Brewster, New York. By 1915, the factory closed after New York City condemned much of the property along the rivers and lakes in the area to protect the water quality flowing into the newly created Croton Reservoir system; the Bloomer family from Rye, New York, started farming the property on the west side of the lake prior to 1760. In 1762 they purchased the land and built, along with the Palmer family, the Peach Lake Meeting House at the southeast corner of the Lake; this Peach Lake meeting house, like many others starting at Long Island Sound and heading north, was built in the disputed area between the Connecticut and New York colonies called the Oblong.

The Vails family ran the dairy farm on the east side of the lake. The Ryder family, who have for generations controlled the Putnam County National Bank, have farmed land on the northern end of Peach Lake since the 18th century. North Salem was part of the tribal land of a Wappinger Indian band known as the Kitawonks, who laid claim to all the lands bordering the Kitchewan or Croton River that separates North Salem from present-day Somers; the lake and surrounding area was called Pechquenakonck by the Indian population. Dutch documents, such as Van der Donck’s 1656 History of New Netherland, mention the area. Other maps from Dutch archives, circa 1685, show the "Indian Tribes of the New World" and locations of Indian villages, including Pechquenakonck at Peach Lake. During 1600 and 1700s the lake was called Lake Pehquenakonck, it was called Peach Pond, a derivation of the Indian Pech-Quen. By the mid-1800s, the name was changed again to Peach Lake; the local elementary school is called Pequenakonck, the Country Club at Bloomerside Cooperative is called Pehquenakonck Country Club.

There are four large residential communities around Peach Lake. There are three cooperatives: Bloomerside and Vails after the original farming families, Pietsch Gardens Cooperative owned by the Pietsch family and Northern Westchester Country Club owned by the Palmer family in the early 19th century; these four communities comprise 460 homes which started as summer homes and communities about 1914. From 2011-2015 Vails Grove, a 9 hole municipal golf course in Peach Lake was the host of the RumHam Invitational. Peach Lake is located at 41°21′49″N 73°34′28″W. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.1 square miles, of which 2.7 square miles is land and 0.4 square miles, or 11.76%, is water. Spring fed Peach Lake is located in the towns of North Southeast; the lake is 1.5 miles long, 0.5 miles wide at its center, reaches a maximum depth of about 24 feet. Its western side is deeper than the unequally scalloped by glacial gouging. A sharp ther
