===Medieval Castle===
[[Category:United States Supreme Court cases]]
It's an imposing baronial built instead of the ancient Byzantine castle in the VI century. It was building more times but the last heaviest repair was done in 1885, when a Neapolitan architect was called, who added the reveal and one cylindrical tower of pure medioval style. In the course of the centuries it had various owners. At the moment it is a private property, but a great part of the monument is in a state of decay. The feudal chapel has a great value thanks to Neapolitan school. In the tower a water tank skillfully is hidden and fed from the old aqueduct.

===Church Mother, St. Mary of Graces===
A monument with structure of medieval age is the church which was built in the center of the town in XV century and widely adjusted to change completely aspect, in particular inside. It was damaged by the catastrophic earthquakes of 1638 and 1808. The first one provoked, entirely, the landslide of the quarter Pizzetto. The church is composed from three aisles and on the bell tower there is a clock which strikes the half hours. The hour and its strokes are heard in all the town and countries.

===St. Mary of the Secour===
The monument was built to the periphery of the town in XVI century between the 1515 and the 1520. The church is consecrated to St. Mary of the Secour, but it's called Reform Church too. It's annexed to the convent of Dominicans and then of Franciscans. The church is composed from an aisle and on the right there is a chapel with a wonderful baroque altar, where the statue of San Domenico is. The monument is damaged a lot inside, even if in the last years it has been a little restored thanks to the interest of the superintendence.

===Canalaci Fountain===
It is in periphery of the country. It was build by Mayor Guglielmo Barracco in 1884, in order to satisfy the people's requirements when the water network did not exist yet. From the point where the water gushes out, there is a portrait representing a woman's face.

===St. Rocco sanctuary===
The monument has been built to the periphery in the ancient built-up area near the "Small Door", one of the three incomes set in the walls of town-walls of the town. the church is consecrated to San Rocco, a french pilgrim, patron of the town, and in fact it was erected after a plague epidemic that blowed the country. It's a monument without many architectonic pretensions and lacking in decorations and works of art.

Christensen v. Harris County, 529 U.S. 576 (2000) is a United States Supreme Court case holding that a county's policy of requiring that employees schedule time off so that they do not accrue time off was not prohibited by the Fair Labor Standards Act.

The Court held that a Department of Labor opinion letter stating that an employer had to first get the employee to agree before requiring the employee to schedule time off did not receive Chevron deference and instead should receive the less deferential standard of Skidmore v. Swift & Co. The majority attempted to draw a bright line between formal agency documents (e.g., legislative rules) and less formal ones (e.g., opinion letters).
