Calderone Glacier
The Calderone glacier ( it, Ghiacciaio del Calderone) is a glacier located in the Apennine Mountains in Abruzzo, Italy. Found in the Gran Sasso d'Italia mountain group, it lies just beneath the Corno Grande, the highest peak in the Apennines. With the disappearance of the Corral de la Veleta glacier in the Sierra Nevada in 1913, "Il Calderone" became one of Europe's southernmost known glaciers (42°28′N, 13°33′E), being slightly to the north only compared to Snezhnika (latitude of 41°46′09″ N) and Banski Suhodol Glaciers in Pirin Mountain in Bulgaria. If present deglaciation trends continue, the Calderone may soon disappear as well. The discovery of a number of small glaciers in the Accursed Mountains in 2009 seemed to threaten Calderone's positions.

Occupational Surname
In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family, tribe or community. Practices vary by culture. The family name may be placed at either the start of a person's full name, as the forename, or at the end; the number of surnames given to an individual also varies. As the surname indicates genetic inheritance, all members of a family unit may have identical surnames or there may be variations; for example, a woman might marry and have a child, but later remarry and have another child by a different father, and as such both children could have different surnames. It is common to see two or more words in a surname, such as in compound surnames. Compound surnames can be composed of separate names, such as in traditional Spanish culture, they can be hyphenated together, or may contain prefixes. Using names has been documented in even the oldest historical records. Examples of surnames are documented in the 11th ce ...

Vulgar Latin Vocabulary
As Classical Latin developed into Proto-Romance it gained and lost lexical items for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the new vocabulary came from contact with neighbouring languages, and other times it was coined from native elements. Much of the inherited Latin vocabulary also underwent semantic drift, regularization, or other linguistic changes. Overview Irregular nouns and verbs tended to be either regularized or replaced with preexisting regular equivalents; cf. the loss of ''esse'' 'to eat' in favour of its own regularized compound ''comedere.'' Similar motives underlie the general replacement of ''ferre'' 'carry' with ''portare'' or ''loqui'' 'speak' with ''parabolare'' and ''fabulare''. Semantic drift affected numerous words, notable examples of which are ''causa'' ('subject matter' ''→'' 'thing'), ''civitas'' ('citizenry' ''→'' 'city'), ''focus'' ('hearth' ''→'' 'fire'), ''mittere'' ('send' → 'put'), ''necare'' ('murder' ''→'' 'drown'), ''pacare'' ('placate' ' ...
