Roseau (Kwéyòl: Wozo) is the capital and largest city of Dominica, with a population of 16,582. It is a small and compact urban settlement, in the Saint George parish and surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, the Roseau River and Morne Bruce. Built on the site of the ancient Kalinago Indian village of Sairi, it is the oldest and most important urban settlement on the island of Dominica.
It is on the west (leeward) coast of Dominica and has a combination of modern and colonial French architecture.
Roseau is Dominica's most important port for foreign trade. Some exports include bananas, bay oil, vegetables, grapefruit, oranges, and cocoa. The service sector is also a large part of the local economy.
There is a prominent diocese called Roman Catholic Diocese of Roseau.
The city of Roseau sits on an alluvial fan formed hundreds of years ago as the Roseau River meandered across the area from what is now known as Newtown to its current location. Over the last 2,000 years, Amerindians migrating through the islands settled the area attracted by the nearby river. With the arrival of the Europeans in the 16th and 17th centuries, a small settlement was established by the French who, in their tradition of naming places after what they found there, used their name for the river reeds that grew along the banks. A plan was created for the settlement that mirrored examples in France where streets extended from a central point — what is today the Old Market — and spread out to the rest of the settlement.

This is a list of craters on Mars. There are hundreds of thousands of impact crater on Mars, but only some of them have names. This list here contains only named Martian craters starting with the letter O – Z (see also lists for A – G and H – N).
Large Martian craters (greater than 60 km in diameter) are named after famous scientists and science fiction authors; smaller ones (less than 60 km in diameter) get their names from towns on Earth. Craters cannot be named for living people, and small crater names are not intended to be commemorative - that is, a small crater isn't actually named after a specific town on Earth, but rather its name comes at random from a pool of terrestrial place names, with some exceptions made for craters near landing sites. Latitude and longitude are given as planetographic coordinates with west longitude.
Get on down off your ladder, come out from the rain
Can't you see that there's no one to blame?
I got that feelin' that we're playin' the same old game
You better get on the run 'cause you know it's no fun
Restrain yourself
Can you tell me is it for certain or does it depend
Upon a feelin' that refuses to bend?
Victim of circumstance you'll say to the end
And you pay no mind you just watch it pass by
Restrain yourself
Till you can't restrain no more
Can you tell me why is it you sigh?
Is it because of a need you deny?
So come on up and deliver what you really know
Maybe discover what it feels like to grow
But you're just a mirror
Reflecting a show
Quiet on the scene now
Come out and take a bow
Don't restrain yourself
Restrain yourself
Till you can't restrain no more
Till you can't restrain no more
Restrain no more
