Inside America's dirtiest Hotel

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

The 700-room hotel, on West 43rd Street in the Times Square area, earns the No. 1 spot on TripAdvisor's filthy list for the third year in a row. It gets hair-raising reviews from travelers on the TripAdvisor site, with tales of bedbugs, yucky bathrooms, folks who turned and ran when they saw their quarters and lurking ladies of the night. A housekeeper found the body of a woman under a bed in August, the New York Post reported. The Carter website urges prospective guests to enjoy the warm hospitality and service at the Hotel Carter, a unique inviting departure from traditional hotels in Manhattan. When I called the hotel number repeatedly Monday to get a comment on this rating, no one ever picked up the phone. (On a positive note, the Carter is budget-friendly. A double this Friday would cost $133.99, including tax, which is a bargain for NYC.) Click here: 0e0f21vd4gt26v9d16-5ec2w2m.hop.clickbank.net to find cheap CLEAN hotels

Robert Pattinson is Sick of Crazed New York Fans

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Robert Pattinson is desperate to return home to London - because he's sick of obsessive female fans hassling him in New York. The Twilight star is currently filming his new movie, Remember Me, in the Big Apple, and was recently struck by a taxi while trying to escape a group of over-excited devotees. Pattinson has reportedly become so annoyed with the behaviour of girls on the streets of Manhattan, he has started pining for his native Britain. A source tells the New York Daily News, Robert is dying to get back home. He's so over everything. He's overwhelmed by all the girls - they terrify him! He says girls grab his neck and clothing all of the time, and he's not used to that. Fans don't do that to him in London. Everyone there is a little cooler about the fame thing, which is what he's used to. And the heart-throb actor is so unhappy with life in America, even his co-stars are concerned about him. The source adds, He's so skinny and stressed. Everyone on set is worried about him... Robert doesn't understand why everyone is going so crazy over him. He's embarrassed by the way girls throw themselves at him. The girls here are stalking him. He stayed in two different hotels over the course of four days just to try to escape the fans who were following him. He's afraid that if he gives a hand, they'll take the whole arm. He's being advised by security not to encourage the crowd, so he doesn't even look up anymore www.teenhollywood.com

The 9/11 Hotel - Part 4 of 5

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Seven years after 9/11, this powerful documentary brings a fresh angle on the terrorist attack. It reveals the extraordinary stories of the people trapped in the 22-storey Marriott World Trade Center Hotel, which nestled beneath the twin towers. Up until now, these stories of luck, sadness, bravery and heroism have rarely been reported; this impressive programme more than compensates. The Marriot was one of New York's busiest hotels. At 8.45am on 11 September 2001, the hotel was at full capacity, with more than 1000 people staying in its 825 rooms. While guests were finishing their breakfasts, working out in the gym or relaxing in the luxury pool, the hotel's tranquil environment was shattered by the roar of jet engines and the horror of falling and burning debris. Initially it wasn't clear to hotel guests exactly what had happened. Some, unable to see the full extent of the carnage way above the hotel, assumed it was minor incident and that the emergency services would soon have things under control. In fact one American lawyer was so busy, preparing for an impending trial, that he stayed in his room. By the time the second plane hit the South Tower at 9.03am, many hotel guests had managed to escape, but as the fires continued to burn out of control and the towers came crashing down, some guests and staff became trapped. Miraculously, 14 survived. This documentary meets some of the survivors. They include a British family on holiday; a hotel receptionist and part-time

2009 NEW YEAR'S EVE WORLD CELEBRATIONS | Global 2009 new years eve celebrations

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

New Years celebrations are underway around the world, with firework displays in Auckland and Sydney starting a night of global partying. Christmas Island in the Pacific Ocean was the first to welcome in 2009 at 10am Greenwich Mean Time. before the New Year arrived in New Zealand an hour later. Aucklands dazzling firework show, launched from the Sky Tower in the centre of the city, was broadcast around the world in a prelude to the enormous pyrotechnic display in Sydney Harbour two hours later. A record crowd gathered in the Australian city to watch Sydneys biggest fireworks display yet. Around 5000 kilograms of shells, comets and experimental fireworks lit up the sky over the Opera House and the iconic steel bridge, which dominate the citys harbour. Fortunato Foti, the fireworks director, said: Its probably 30 per cent bigger on the bridge alone than what its been in previous years. Personally, I dont think you can have too many fireworks. The more the better. The show cost an estimated five million Australian dollars (£2.4 million) with thousands of the citys four million residents queuing for harbourside spots some 12 hours before the main event. Police estimated that up to 1.5 million people watched the spectacle. Jessica Williams, 29, a British tourist said New Years Eve in Sydney was world-renowned. Coming from overseas youve kind of got to do the whole Sydney and fireworks thing, she said. It was a great experience. A similar event will be held on the Thames in

I Ain't In Checotah Anymore-Carrie Underwood

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

lyrics: Where 69 meets 40, There's a single stop light town, And back when I was really young, A part of that burned down, On any given Friday night, We'd drive a hundred miles, Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store, Laughing all the while, With as many friends as I could pack, In my daddy's Ford, But I ain't in Checotah anymore. My hotel in Manhattan, Holds more people than our town, And what I just paid for dinner, Would be a down payment on a house, I'd rather be tipping cows in Tulsa, Than hailing cabs here in New York, But I ain't in Checotah anymore. I'm in a world so wide, It makes me feel small sometimes, I miss the big blue skies, the Oklahoma kind. In a world of long red carpets, The bright lights of Hollywood, All the paparazzi flashing, Could make a girl feel pretty good, You can get anything you want here, Except a Wal-Mart store, But I ain't in Checotah anymore. I'm in a world so wide, It makes me feel small sometimes, I miss the big blue skies, the Oklahoma kind. Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads, Old Settler's day and the Okrafest, After prom, down at the bowling lanes, Catching crappie fish in Eufaula lake, I ain't in Checotah anymore. I'm in a world so wide, It makes me feel small sometimes, I miss the big blue skies, the Oklahoma kind, But I ain't in Checotah, No I ain't in Checotah, Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma. Where 69 meets 40, There's a single stoplight town.

In a new statement Adam says, If I went into the detail of exactly why this story didn't get filmed, it's so bizarre and convoluted that no one would believe me, but suffice to say...the decision not to continue on with the RFID story was made by our production company, Beyond Productions, and had nothing to do with Discovery, or their ad sales department. --- Steven Levy gave the keynote address. Kevin Mitnick, Steve Rambam, Jello Biafra, and Adam Savage of MythBusters were also featured speakers at The Last HOPE Hackers Conference. The name referred to the expectation that this would have been the final HOPE conference due to the scheduled demolition of its venue, the Hotel Pennsylvania. www.TheNextHOPE.org is scheduled for Summer 2010. --- Includes the 'infamous' new-yourk point-of-view on 'unglazed' ceramic tiles for ovens to make 'better pizza', OMG!!!

Coney Island's Amusement Park to Close - VOA Story

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

New York's Coney Island is one of the Big Apple's most visited attractions. Its beach, boardwalk and amusement park have been attracting visitors for more than a century. But its largest theme park -- Astroland -- is set to close at the end of the summer season to make way for a $250 million re-development project. All the fun of the fair: Coney Island's Astroland is about as far from the glitz and glamour of the modern day theme park as you can get. The Cyclone roller coaster first opened back in 1926. Like it, Coney Island and much of the surrounding area has been in decline for many years. This corner of Brooklyn was America's first resort attraction, bringing in millions of New Yorkers right through the 1960s. Then fires, bankruptcies and urban decay set in. But now there are plans to restore that lustre. Drwaings show artists' impressions of a Coney Island for the 21st century. It is part of a $2 billion makeover that will turn Coney Island into a world-class theme park. But the plans also envisage big hotels, condominiums, and apartments, far from what Coney Island feels like today. Carol Albert and her family have owned Astroland for the past 45 years, but they recently sold it to real estate developer Thor Equities. And so, reluctantly, they will close the park at the end of this summer. We thought as we can't develop it and since he has now bought up everything but two blocks we were going to be surrounded by demolition and construction, says Albert. We really

Abba - I Am The City

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

I Am The City was recorded on May 8 1982. It remained unreleased until it was included on the compilation album More Abba Gold in May 1993. This was one of 7 songs Abba recorded during 1982 for their possible next album after The Visitors, believed likely to be called Opus 10. The 7 songs were Should I Laugh Or Cry (Sep 1981), You Owe Me One, I Am The City, Just Like That (all May 1982), Cassandra, Under Attack and The Day Before You Came (all August 1982). However the group unofficially retired at the end of 1982, and the unfinished album was never completed. The unreleased songs eventually appeared as bonus tracks on The Visitors album or on compilation albums. There has been no definitive reason given for the group's retirement in December 1982. However there is no doubt that the two divorces had taken its toll on the group. Their hearts were no longer in it. During their career they had often said Abba will carry on as long as we enjoy working together. The day that we are tired of it, we'll stop. The group's break-up was further hastened by Benny and Bjorn's collaboration with Tim Rice in early 1983 to write songs for the new musical project Chess. The four Swedes were no longer looking in the same direction, it was time to go their seperate ways. This is an unofficial promotional video made in 2007 for this song. Lyrics: Coming through a cloud, you're looking at me from above And I'm a revelation, spreading out before your eyes And you find me beautiful and

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

miamidadecountyinfo.com The Villa Crono Estate...Miami Beach Villa Crono is ideally located on prestigious Pine Tree Drive in Miami Beach. It was built in the mid-20's when Miami Beach skyline was far less imposing. One might have seen the Atlantic Ocean in the distance from the second floor in those days. Today. You would be able to see the Ocean from the second floor when you build your home on the adjacent one acre lot. Now, this magnificent mansion sits directly across the Intracoastal Waterway from the most elegant and tallest hotels and condominiums that line Collins Avenue. This one acre of prime estate backs up onto the Intracoastal and provides a constantly changing panorama as the yachts and sailing ships pass by. One enters the property through a gated driveway and past the guest and staff quarters. After passing the quarters, the driveway ends in a circular drive that leads to the wrought iron and glass entrance. A bronze statue, serving as a fountain, is located behind a bank of colorful flowers in the middle of the circle. The fountains and statuary on the property complement the Mediterranean style architecture of both the guesthouse and the main building. The red barrel-tiled roof of both houses carries through the Italianate theme. Villa Crono was totally renovated and fully air conditioned in the mid-90's. Typical of these Mediterranean style mansions that were built in the days before air conditioning, the entrance leads directly into the Grand Salon

Sorrento - Italy

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Sorrento is a small city in Campania, southern Italy, with some 16500 inhabitants. It is a popular tourist destination. The town can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii, as it lies at the south-eastern end of the Circumvesuviana rail line. The town overlooks the bay of Naples, as the key place of the Sorrentine Peninsula, and many viewpoints in the city allow sight of Naples itself (visible across the bay), Vesuvius and the island of Capri. The Amalfi Drive (connecting Sorrento and Amalfi) is the narrow road that threads around the high cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Ferry boats and hydrofoils provide services to Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Ischia. Sorrento's sea cliffs and luxury hotels have attracted famous personalities, including Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti. Sorrento is famous for the production of limoncello, an alcoholic digestif made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar. Other agricultural production includes citrus fruit, wine, nuts and olives. Wood craftsmanship is also developed.

The Kingdom of Bahrain

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

The Kingdom of Bahrain—a name that translates as Two Seas—is actually an archipelago of 33 low-lying islands located in the heart of the Gulf. Situated along traditional Arabian and international trade routes between Asia and the West, the Kingdom has served as an important port and center of business for thousands of years. Today, the capital city of Manama is a vibrant cosmopolitan center offering an open society and an educated workforce enhanced by modern cultural am enities like museums, shopping, restaurants and fine hotels. Though modest in population, land area and resources, Bahrain has achieved considerable social and economic status. Our modern roads, international airport, telecommunications, public services, medical facilities and schools are considered among the best in the Middle East, if not the world. Located just 25 kilometers from Saudi Arabia and the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, Bahrain is easily accessible by sea, air and even automobile via the King Fahd Causeway. Completed in 1986, the causeway provides a symbolic and virtual link between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, connecting the archipelago to mainland Arabia for the first time since people first inhabited the islands. Today, the causeway serves as a vital link to the entire Middle East.

kuwait future city -city of silk- مدينة الحرير

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Madinat al-Hareer (Arabic: مدينة الحرير, meaning City of Silk), is a proposed 250 square kilometer planned urban area in Subiya, Kuwait, an area just opposite Kuwait City which, upon construction, would include the Burj Mubarak al-Kabir , the world's tallest structure, a natural desert reservation of 2 square kilometres, a duty free area which will be beside a new airport, in addition to a large business center, conference areas, environmental areas, athletic areas, and areas that concentrate on media, health, education, and industry. The City of Silk will also include numerous tourist attractions, hotels, spas, and public gardens. The city will be built in individual phases with total completion within twenty-five years. The development will cost an estimated 25 billion Kuwaiti Dinars (~94 billion USD). Burj Mubarak al-Kabir should not be confused with the Al Jaber Tower proposed by the famous Italian architect Amero Marchetti, part of the planned ethic city. If built the Al Jaber Tower would reach 1852 meters. As of July 27, 2008, the government of Kuwait has already approved the project, with some of the project's funding coming from the budget surplus over the course of 2007 and 2008. Construction on the actual site has also begun; this is seen through bridges, highways and roads being laid down as basic infrastructure to facilitate future construction of structures within the city. Various reports indicate that the city might be ready by 2023. FOR MORE DETAIL

Newport Beach

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Newport Beach California. With its stretches of white sand, beautiful people and great outdoor water sports, this Orange County beach community makes a great California vacation. Whether you're into sunbathing or shopping, cycling or surfing — this town has it, and more. I grew up about 7 miles from Newport Beach, so I guess you could say this was my high school hangout. Back then, I spent most of my time at 32nd street and Balboa Fun Zone, but today, let's explore the city. Veronica Hill of CaliforniaTravelExpert.com packs her beach bags and hits the boardwalk in search of good food and fun in Newport Beach. For a vacation just steps from the sand, check into Newport Beach hotels like Doryman's Inn, Newport Beachwalk Hotel or Balboa Inn, where you can almost taste the saltwater. From here, you can walk to most Newport Beach attractions and restaurants, which makes them handy for tourists. Many Newport Beach homes are also available as vacation rentals, and some have ocean views! One of the most popular companies for Newport Beach rentals is Burr White, located on Newport Boulevard. Newport Beach travel is great any time of the year, but the best time to visit is during the summer. You can stroll along the boardwalk, play a game of volleyball on the beach, or body surf The Wedge, a world-famous surfing spot at the end of Balboa Peninsula. For kinder, gentler water, check out Newport Dunes, where you can go paddle surfing or rent a pedal boat. This is a great place to stay

Queen Mary

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Queen Mary Long Beach Set against the backdrop of the dramatic Long Beach city skyline, the Queen Mary ship has been a coastal icon in California since 1967. She was purchased by the city at a cost of $3.5 million, and has been a tourist attraction and hotel ever since. Veronica Hill of California Travel Tips tours this massive ship and learns a little bit more about its ghostly residents and the Queen Mary history. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Cunard Queen Mary launched at Clydebank, Scotland in 1934, and was the most luxurious ocean liner of Her time. Roughly twice the size of Titanic, the RMS Queen Mary sailed the Atlantic for White Star Lines between 1936 and 1967. Designed in the Art Deco style, this ship boasted the finest materials and modern comforts, including puncalouvers for air conditioning and a choice of fresh or salt water in the bath. During its heydey, the Queen Mary carried famous passengers such as Fred Astaire, Greta Garbo, and Winston Churchill, who signed D-Day invasion plans right on the ship. In fact, during World War 2, the Queen Mary became a troopship, swiftly transporting as many as 16000 soldiers at a time. She was one of the fastest and largest ships in the War. Adolph Hitler offered a $250000 bounty for the ship, which was nicknamed the Grey Ghost. The Queen Mary weighs over 81000 tons and stretches more than 1000 feet. Today, the Queen Mary Hotel in Long Beach offers a bit of nostalgia in a very modern city, with

Turkey Pamukkale

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

www.iwasinturkey.com The stunning white calcium pools, which cling to the side of a ridge, have long been one of the most famous picture postcard views of Turkey. Pamukkale, literally meaning cotton castle, is also the site of the ancient city of Hierapolis of which there are many interesting ruins, and is a very popular destination for a short visit. Pamukkale was formed when a spring with a high content of dissolved calcium bicarbonate cascaded over the edge of the cliff, which cooled and hardened leaving calcium deposits. This formed into natural pools, shelves and ridges, which tourists could plunge and splash in the warm water. Hotels were springing up from the 1970s to cater for the large influx of tourists, and shortly afterwards UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site. But by the 1990s, this took its toll on the state of the calcium pools and restrictions were placed on these travertine terraces. Many hotels were knocked down, visitors are only allowed on major paths around the sites, and must remove footwear to stand on the calcium deposits. This seems to have been a successful move, as the water supply is now used for preservation and some of the damaged calcium deposits have been strengthened.

São Paulo - Brazil

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

São Paulo is the 19th richest city in the world and is expected to be the 13th richest in 2020. According to data of IBGE, its Gross domestic product (GDP) in 2005 was R$ 263177148000.00 (US$ 156280780941.00), equivalent to approximately 2.26% of the Brazilian GDP and 36% of all production of goods and services of the State of São Paulo. One of the biggest financial centres in Brazil and in the world, São Paulo's economy is going through a deep transformation. Once a city with a strong industrial character, São Paulo's economy has become increasingly based on the tertiary sector, focusing on services and businesses for the country. Many analysts point to São Paulo as an important global city, even though this assignment can be criticized considering its serious problems of social exclusion and spacial segregation. Although being the most important financial centre of the country, São Paulo's economy also presents a high degree of informality. São Paulo is the business center of the Mercosur economy. Consecrated Acclaimed as a city of business tourism, attracting today's biggest and most important international events, be they in the economic, cultural, scientific or sporting area, it is a metropolis that offers a service infrastructure of the highest efficiency and quality. The city hosts from small meetings to large exhibitions. It holds more than 200 events per day, offering more than 250 thousand square meters of space in pavilions and areas for congresses and fairs

NOAH-NEW ORLEANS ARCOLOGY HABITAT

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Tangram 3DS brings Floating City to Life Tangram 3DS, a firm specializing in visualization and computer animation, announced its collaboration with E. Kevin Schopfer AIA, RIBA. Together, the companies have designed and presented a bold new urban platform. New Orleans Arcology Habitat (NOAH) is a proposed urban Arcology (architecture and ecology), whose philosophic underpinnings rest in combining large scale sustainability with concentrated urban structures, and in this case a floating city. Tangram 3DS worked with Schopfer to visualize this unique concept and structure. Starting from basic sketches, Tangram 3DS transformed Schopfers ideas into visuals and an animation. Our work helps Kevin convey his concept to the City of New Orleans, investors, the media, and public, said Stefan Vittori, president and founder of Tangram 3DS, LLC. To be able to visualize a design project in 3D and through animation is absolutely vital when attempting to sell a design concept that may at first glance be hard to grasp, adds Vittori. Why a floating city? There are three major challenges to building in New Orleans. The first challenge is to overcome both the physical and psychological damages of recurring severe weather patterns. Though repopulation has begun, the need to provide a stabilized and safe environment is paramount to a long-term recovery and economic well being of New Orleans. The second challenge is that New Orleans has been built at and below sea levels, which creates a

Michael Jackson Memorial, The Coverage you didn't see on TV!

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

BlackTree TV's own Erica O'Young and Jamaal Finkley braved the traffic, crowds and the thousands of law enforcement officers to bring you coverage of the Michael Jackson Memorial live this morning from Staples Center. Of course you should stay tuned to www.blacktree.tv for more exclusive clips, but we will be uploading reacitons from the streets and parts of the celebration that you may not have caught on network tv. Thank you for watching and stay tuned to BlackTree TV. RIP MJ..... July 7, 2009 Los Angeles Gears Up for Michael Jackson Memorial By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD LOS ANGELES — After winning a random drawing for tickets to the Michael Jackson memorial, fans danced and sang on Monday, and some tried to make a buck, while city officials girded for the throngs expected to show up at the Tuesday event, invited or not. As organizers distributed free pairs of tickets on Monday to 8750 of the more 1.6 million people who had applied online for them, offers of tickets priced from a few hundred to several thousand dollars appeared on Web sites like eBay and Craigslist. Site administrators rushed to remove the postings, saying such sales were not authorized by the Staples Center, the downtown arena that will host the event. Organizers of the memorial said they were confident security measures would limit illegitimate ticket holders. But the efforts at selling tickets, as well as signs of downtown hotels filling and the police preparing for thousands of people, if not more, by

For more info, go to - www.topspeed.com - If you think the plans for Royal Caribbeans Oasis class are wild, wait until you hear about Princess Kaguya, a city-at-sea concept that's been presented to Finland's Aker Yards, according to media reports. If financed and ultimately built, the ship would measure 450000 tons; that's more than one-and-a-half times the size of The Oasis (222000 tons). It's not a cruise line behind the idea, but a company called Japan Contents Network Inc., whose CEO Hajime Tanaka has launched three golf courses and a Formula One circuit. And the 20-deck ship itself would operate differently from the cruise ships most travelers are used to. In addition to carrying a maximum number of 8400 passengers, up to 10000 visitors could board in each port to partake of its urban amenities. JCN has even considered selling some rooms as residences. The proposed design on its project Web site, princesskaguya.com, includes: Three independent, different

Vilnius - capital of Lithuania.

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Vilnius - beauty of Northern Europe. The best place to live, study, work and make carrier in Lithuania. Vilnius is a cosmopolitan city with diverse architecture. There are more than 40 churches in Vilnius to see. Restaurants, hotels and museums have sprouted since Lithuania declared independence, and young Vilnius residents are providing the city a reputation for being the most hospitable in the world as evidenced by the large membership of the Hospitality Club. Like most medieval towns, Vilnius has developed around its Town Hall. The main artery, Pilies Street, links the governor's palace and the Town Hall. Other streets meander through the palaces of feudal lords and landlords, churches, shops and craftsmen's workrooms. Narrow, curved streets and small cosy courtyards developed in the radial layout of the medieval Vilnius. The Old Town, historical centre of Vilnius, is one of the largest in Europe (3.6 km²). The most valuable historic and cultural sites are concentrated here. The buildings in the old town — there are nearly 1500 — were built over several centuries, creating a splendid blend of many different architectural styles. Although Vilnius is often called a baroque city, here you will find some buildings of gothic, renaissance and other styles. The main sights of the city are the Gediminas Castle and the Cathedral Square, symbols of the capital. Their combination is also a gateway to the historic centre of the capital. Because of its uniqueness, the Old Town of

Angel by Sarah Mclachlan Spend all your time waiting for that second chance For the break that will make it OK There's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction or a beautiful release Memories seep from my veins Let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of the Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent revelrie You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference, escaping one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees In the arms of the Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent revelrie In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here.

Baltimore Cop vs Skater

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Baltimore2008.com On a warm day some kids are skating by the harbor. Instead of having a policeman on the corner of Linden and North in Reservoir Hill or some other drug ravaged corner the police have a man patrolling the harbor in a vehicle purchased for that purpose. He gets out of his vehicle and starts yelling at kids when he could be busting drug dealers in most any other part of Baltimore. The police will probably have his head for this but the real issue is why do we have cops going after kids at the Harbor while they could be out on corners busting the real bad guys. This story will probably make national news for all the wrong reasons. The sad thing is Baltimore is wasting tax dollars on far worse things than this. Mayor Dixon is now paying for homeless people stay in hotels in the county. In her state of the City address she implied that we are in for a budget crunch and we may not get our promised property tax relief. We need lower property taxes now! Stop voting in the people who refuse to cut our property taxes. There is so much waste in Baltimore City. We need to cut spending and insane services like housing homeless people in hotels in the county. Give the tax payers a break. We are TIRED of supporting ridiculous things like this. www.Baltimore2008.com is part of the answer. Spread the word. It has been 40 years since the riots (although in many areas it looks like they happened yesterday). Now it is time for rebellion! 1968-2008

The Tallest Building in the World - Burj Dubai! Middle East

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

I went to the Burj Dubai and filmed the construction and then again six months later. Connect me on Facebook! www.facebook.com 66 to 124 floors in six months! The Burj Dubai tower is designed to be the centerpiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that will include 30000 homes, nine hotels, 6 acres of parkland, 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and a large man-made lake. The complete 500 acre development will cost about $20 billion dollars (US). Once completed, the tower will cover a total of over 22 million square feet of development. The official height of the Burj Dubai is kept secret because of international competition, but current estimates have it rising to a height in excess of 2600 feet. Some estimate that it will be 189 floors or so - it is to be the tallest building in the world. Recently, the construction site already surpassed height needed to make it (uncompeted) the second tallest building in the world. The Burj Dubai is located in Dubai which is a city in the emirate of Dubai, part of the United arab Emirates in the Gulf region of the Middle East.

Guns N Roses live inn Chicago durring the Use Your Illusion world tour.Rose and his LA Guns bandmate Tracii Guns formed Guns N' Roses in March 1985. The band was a merger of LA Guns and Hollywood Rose, and featured musicians who had played for one or both groups, including Ole Beich and Duff McKagan. The band debuted at the Troubadour in Hollywood and proceeded to play the LA circuit, eventually building a fan following and attracting the attention of several record companies.[18][19] The lineup eventually solidified with Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, Duff McKagan on bass and Steven Adler on drums. Guns N' Roses was signed to Geffen Records in 1986 and released a four-song EP, Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, on their own label, UZI Suicide, in December of that year. The band's major label debut album, entitled Appetite for Destruction, was released in the United States on July 21, 1987. The record had a slow start, selling only 500000 copies in the first year of its release.[20] However, fueled by relentless touring and the mainstream success of the single Sweet Child o' Mine, Appetite for Destruction rose to the #1 position on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States in the fall of 1988. To date, Appetite for Destruction ranks as the fourth best-selling debut album in the United States, has been certified 15x platinum by the RIAA, and has sold over 27 million copies.[21][22] With the success of Appetite for Destruction and its

Safire - Thinking of You

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

The song was a tribute to her uncle, who died of AIDS in 1984. He was there with me through everything, she said. He was very close to me and encouraged me. Here I ma little girl from Harlem trying to make a living and trying to do what I always wanted to do. He never allowed me to not follow my dream. He told me, you have it; you have to go out there. ----------------- Safire Born Wilma Cosme in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Safire moved to East Harlem with her family as a child and spend her childhood years singing in school and church. By age 16 she was on her way to realizing that goal by paying for vocal lessons with an after-school job. Safire's recording career began with a successful audition for an independent label, Cutting Records, which was seeking a young girl to sing a 12 inch single they planned to release. Don't Break My Heart was released by Cutting Records in 1986 and Safire was soon on the leading edge of the emerging dance music dubbed Latin Hip Hop. Safire's second single, Let Me Be The One, set her apart from her peers in another respect: she co-wrote the song. The single was released in 1987 and won immediate support in clubs around New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Texas, making Safire a national artist in the dance music. With two successful singles under their belts, Safire and Cutting Records signed with Mercury/Polygram Records for the release of her debut LP in July of 1988. The first single, Boy I've Been Told, written

The Dells have been singing and performing for over five decades, have sold millions of records, and are considered the most enduring vocal group in the history of Rhythm and Blues. Affectionately known as The Mighty Dells by fans and leaders in the music industry, its members -- including Marvin Junior (lead baritone), John Carter (lead tenor), Charles Barksdale (bass), Michael McGill (baritone) and Verne Allison (second tenor) -- have continued to set the standard for top-to-bottom male harmony. Initially known as the El-Rays, The Dells started in 1952 in Harvey, Illinois, as five friends from high school. Eventually, the El-Rays cut their very first single, Darling I Know, for Chess Records. It went nowhere. Two years later, with a new record contract with Vee Jay Records as The Dells, they released their 3rd recording Oh What A Night. It became an immediate R

The main concert lasted over two and a half hours and the musicians then spilled out into the bars and cafes of Montreux with the music still going strong as the sun was coming up the next morning!

ZZ Top - Jesus Just Left Chicago (From Double Down Live - 1980)

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

For more info - www.eagle-rock.com Double Down Live is a 2 DVD set from ZZ Top combining shows from 1980 and 2008. Disc one was filmed at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany for the Rockpalast TV series. Hot on the heels of their classic Deguello album (it features 9 of the 10 songs from it) the show finds ZZ Top before sequencers and synthesizers epitomising their lil ol blues band from Texas nickname. Complimented by tracks drawn predominantly from their Tres Hombres and Fandango! albums this is a true best of ZZ Top in the seventies. Disc Two was shot during their European tour in 2008 and combines great live performances, interview clips and back stage footage to create the ultimate ZZ Top on the road movie. With nearly 30 years between the performances the two disc set gives a fascinating then and now insight into what has maintained the ZZ Top live phenomenon.

Gloria Estefan - Anything for You/No te Olvidare Anything for you Though you're not here Since you said we're through It seems like years Time keeps draggin on and on And forevers been and gone Still I can't figure what went wrong I'd still do anything for you I'll play your game You hurt me through and through But you can have your way I can pretend each time I see you That I don't care and I don't need you And though you'll never see me crying You know inside I feel like dying And I'd do anything for you In spite of it all I've learned so much from you You made me strong But don't you ever think that I don't love you That for one minute I forgot you But sometimes things don't work out right And you just have to say goodbye I hope you find somone to please you Someone who'll care and never leave you But if that someone ever hurts you You just might need a friend to turn to (Spanish End) Recuerda, no te olvidare, te espero aqui, si a mi quieres volver yo te hare feliz. Tambien puedo fingir cuando te veo que no te extra#oy no te quiero y aunque jamas me veas llorando mi corazon te sigue amando. A veces el amor no es lo que esperas hay que salvarlo como puedas y si no hay

Carlos Santana et Buddy Guy - Montreux Jazz Festival

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

www.marinoshop.com.br - 1982 Drinkin' TNT 'n' Smokin' Dynamite (live) -- Blind Pig (rec. 1974 Montreax Jazz Fest.) Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947), known simply as Carlos Santana or Santana, is a Grammy Award-winning Mexican-born American Latin rock musician and guitarist. He became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, the Santana Blues Band, going mostly under the title Santana, which created a highly successful blend of salsa, rock, blues, and jazz fusion. Their sound featured his often high-pitched and distorted guitar lines set against Latin American instrumentation such as timbales and congas. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades, and experienced a sudden resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. Over his career he has sold an estimated 80 million albums worldwide. George Buddy Guy (born July 30, 1936) is an American blues and rock guitarist and singer. Known as an inspiration to Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and other 1960s blues and rock legends, Guy is considered an important exponent of Chicago blues. He is the father of female rapper Shawnna. Guy is known for his showmanship; for example, he plays his guitar with drumsticks, or strolls into the audience while jamming and trailing a long guitar cord. Born in Lettsworth, Louisiana, Guy grew up in Louisiana where he learned to play guitar at a womens trucker convention[citation needed]. In the early '50s he began performing

Extra insight about how this was perhaps inspired by a previous viral video: www.spudart.org The crowd at the Oprah taping in Chicago did a special flash mob dance to the Black Eyed Peas live performance of the song, I Gotta Feeling. The group dance on the Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago was really cool to see from the Tribune Tower's 14th floor. This is for Oprah's 24th Season Kickoff Party. I gotta feeling that tonights gonna be a good night, That tonights gonna be a good night. Lets live it up. I got my money, Lets spend it up. Go out and smash it. Like Oh My God, Jump off that sofa. Lets get get OFF, I know that well have a ball, If we get down, And go out, And just loose it all. I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go, Lets go way out spaced out, And loosing all control. Fill up my cup, Mozoltov, Look at her dancing, Just take it off. Lets paint the town, Well shut it down. Lets burn the roof, And then well do it again.

Chicago Go (TimComm creative)

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

TimComm.com is building a Chicago tourism campaign around ChicaGO GO (aren't we clever?) that could be launched by this 30-second spot which we just finished on January 13, 2010. The music is extracted from a big band tune called Sing,Sing,Sing, which we believe is integral to the dyamics of the piece and will be well rewarded for its involvement, if we manage to cross that bridge. Comment, critique and criticism is most welcome...good, bad or indifferent...as your input may well determine whether or not our little boutique video marketing firm manages to persuade Chicago officials to engage us to tout Chicago tourism and trade show efforts in 2010 and beyond. Thanks very much for your time and contributions. John LeGear at TimComm.com in Chicago/Palos Hills, Illinois.

BlockWalks, 2000 Seminary, Lincoln Park / DePaul, Part 1

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

This is one of my favorite blocks in Chicago. I lived there for nearly 8 years, in a duplex condo at a 50-unit apartment building I'd renovated into a 36-unit condo, and in a single-family home I'd rehabbed from a 3-flat. . When I first arrived there, in 1978, parts of the area had drug and gang problems, but that didn't deter me. The attractions included beautiful old streeetscapes, easy access to the El and to shops and restaurants and, most of all, a wonderful variety of people of varying income levels, ethnicities and backgrounds. It didn't take long before I knew almost everyone on the block. Join me for a video walk and hear some of their stories.

Chicago Lake Front Bike Path Father Daughter Ride

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

You will hear my cell phone ring while I was riding bikes with my daughter (who insists I use her You-Tube pen name, Marley Patterson) along the lake front the Sunday after the fourth of July. A little later, you hear the message tone. I did not find out later that I had been publicly outed on page 4 of the Sunday Chicago Sun-Times. The phone call was Laurie delivering the news--Remember that letter you wrote to Michael Sneed defending pole dancing as a legitimate hobby--well, she printed it in her column. It's in the paper! In her column, she had mentioned that an accused accomplice in a serious gun crime was a pole dance instructor--implying that there was something seedy about pole dancing. I wrote a vigorous defense of the sport, defending all its practitioners--from strippers to housewives. She printed excerpts in the Sunday column... I've been pushing my daughter to spend more time outdoors enjoying sports. The Chicago lake front has a great bike trail. It is onr of the city's premier attractions. Please visit our city and ride this great trail. You can rent bikes at Navy Pier very cheaply, come back a few hours later and enjoy a few drinks at the many bars along the dock.

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

The Michigan Avenue portion of the Chicago Riverfront is an important historic component and tourist attraction for the city. Located near the site of old Fort Dearborn and the Wrigley building, the Michigan Avenue river crossing has always been a center of focus for the City and continues to thrive today. Along this stretch are some of Chicagos most architecturally profound and noteworthy buildings, including restaurants, hotels, condominiums, and skyscrapers. The Riverwalk provides an opportunity to bring some of the energy of Michigan Avenue down to river level, while at the same time mediating between the vibrant, naturalistic landscape of the lakefront parks with the more formal context of nearby Wabash Plaza Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Amy Winehouse Free Nelson Mandela (Treacy version)

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Amy Winehouse sings Free Nelson Mandela at the 46664 Concert in London in 2008. Her album Back to Black made Winehouse the first British singer to win five Grammys. The 46664 concerts are a series of AIDS charity events played in honour of Nelson Mandela by South African musicians. Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island in 1964, and was the 466th prisoner to arrive that year. Free Nelson Mandela is a song written by Jerry Dammers and performed by his Coventry-based band The Special AKA released on the single Nelson Mandela / Break Down The Door in 1984 as a protest against the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela. Unlike most protest songs, the track is upbeat and celebratory, drawing on musical influences from South Africa. The song reached No.9 in the UK charts and was immensely popular in Africa. Dr. Patrick Treacy was part of the Free Nelson Mandela campaign and worked in South Africa as a doctor after Nelson Mandela was freed. The video shows the badge he wore.

The London Blitz (Britain at War) 1941 (1946)

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Amateur colour film shot and edited by Rosie Newman, of the impact of the Blitz on wealthy parts of West London. In addition to scenes of the devastation wrought on buildings by aerial bombing, there is coverage of firemen and ARP men putting out fires, clearing the rubble and digging for survivors. Rosie Newman was a wealthy and well-connected woman who consequently had gained a high level of access to create a valuable film record of Britain at war. This section of the film includes many of her human observations of life carrying on despite the Blitz - such as women and children queuing for shopping, a flower seller and a milkman delivering his round. Among the locations identified in Newmans film are Bond Street, Piccadilly, Hyde Park. Rosie Newman (amateur cinematographer) 6 minute excerpt from 99 minute film. Original format: 16mm The Film and Video Archive of the Imperial War Museum was established in 1920, making it one of the first film archives in the world. It holds some 120 million feet of film and 6500 house of video tape. A large proportion of material has been transferred to the Museum from the armed Services and other public bodies as the Archive is the official repository for such public record films.

Queen Maud of Norway the million dollar babe

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

SORRY A MISTAKE!! PRINCE ALEXANDER/KING OLAV WAS BORN IN ENGLAND AT APPLETON HOUSE. IT WAS A MISTAKE. SORRY FOR THAT. Maud of Wales (Maud Charlotte Mary Victoria; 26 November 1869 20 November 1938) was Queen of Norway as spouse of King Haakon VII. She was a member of the British Royal Family as the youngest daughter of King Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark. Queen Maud was the first queen consort of Norway since 1319 who was not also queen consort of Denmark or Sweden. She was born Princess Maud of Wales at Marlborough House, London as the daughter of Edward, Prince of Wales, who was the eldest son of Queen Victoria and at that time heir apparent to the British throne. Her mother was the Princess of Wales, Princess Alexandra of Denmark. Princess Maud was christened at Marlborough House by John Jackson, Bishop of London, on 24 December 1869. Her godparents were Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany; the Landgrave of Hesse; Count Gleichen; the Duchess of Nassau; the King of Sweden and Norway; the Princess of Leiningen; Grand Duchess Marie Feodorovna; the Crown Princess of Denmark; and the Duchess of Inverness. She was a high-spirited child, a quality that earned her the nickname Harry. Princess Maud of Wales took part in almost all the annual visits to the Princess of Wales's family in Denmark and later accompanied her mother and her sisters on cruises to Norway and the Mediterranean. She, along with her sisters Princess Victoria and Princess Louise, received the Imperial Order

The Imperial War Museum London Experience

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

A tribute to The Imperial War Museum London. Compiled from film and photographs I have taken whilst at the museum on visits from January 2005 to the present day. All photographs are owned by myself and film clips too. I never intended to upload them until I noticed the small number of IWM films on Youtube. This tribute is to capture the memories of the exhibits and the experience of being in the museum itself. All sound and audio are featured in the museum. Except two extracts from the 1970s television series The World at War, in which the Imperial War Museum worked closely with the makers to supply footage and historical information. I look forward to comments, any emails, any wish to make a video upload and feedback in general. The Imperial War Museum London is a free public museum and is really worth a visit for a day. Visit their website at www.london.iwm.org.uk Please also note :) that this is not an official IWM production. Plus, the instruction of body disposal in Protect and Survive was taken at a lower resolution hence the drop in picture and sound quality. Matt Wilson mattwilson151@hotmail.com

The airfield housed 8 Squadron in 1919--1920 which was equipped with F.2Bs. The airfield was then used by No. 2 Flying Training School until, April 1923 when 19 Squadron was formed at Duxford with Sopwith Snipes. By 1925 Duxford's three fighter squadrons had expanded to include the Gloster Grebes and Armstrong Whitworth Siskins.

I am very pleased to hear that you are all the same at home. Well dear, I would very much like a photo of the boy if you can spare the money to get one taken. We are having a rather hot time now but it will all help to finish the war, as I think this is the starting of the finish. I have received a letter from Mrs. Lewis thanking me for the card. I will write a few lines as soon as I get the chance, as we are on the move at present and do not get much time to write. We have left the place where I told you I was when on leave. Well dear, the weather has been lovely out here this last four or five days, I hope it will continue now for a couple of weeks to help us along a bit as it is rotten fighting in the rain for the lads, but they are sticking it well. I have heard from Nance and them down London and they are all in the best of health. I am also very pleased to say that my chum is going on well in hospital and sends his very best wishes to you and the baby.

I hope sid is going on alright also mother and dad and all at home, give them my best love when you write to them. Give best wishes to Gran, Grandpa, Dolly and Iris, also to aunt and cousin siss.

The men resting in the lane are two companies and a Stokes Mortar team from 1st Battalion, the Lancashire Fusiliers forming up for the assault in a sunken lane opposite Hawthorn Ridge.

The RMS Queen Mary

Part 2 - This video presentation gives a short historical look into the sailing career of the great Cunard Line steamship, RMS Queen Mary and her 31 years of service from 1936-1967. When constructed, she was equipped with greatest assembly of propulsion machinery ever to go to sea... but after her retirement and rebirth as a floating hotel, museum and convention center in Long Beach, California, the history and science behind her once-impressive boilers and engines was stripped, scrapped and forgotten. The Yarrow Project is a unprecidented restoration and recreation proposal for this great ship... to cosmetically restore/recreate the boilers and machinery of two of her massive boiler rooms.

London - Intro,city

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

London ist eine Perle. Da stimme ich allen zu. Als ich das erste Mal dort war habe ich mich sehr gewundert wie multikulturell, freundlich und teilweise sehr gelassen diese Stadt ist. Dort habe ich viele schöne Erfahrungen mit den Menschen gemacht. Erstaunlicherweise kann man dort auch richtig gut essen und das noch zu einem moderaten Preis. Das einzige was mich bei dem Englischen Essen beschäftigt ist die Frage: Warum nur dieser Pilz und die gegrillte Tomate, warum nur? Aber irgendwas ist ja immer... Ich kann jedem Erstbesucher der Stadt empfehlen zunächst das volle Touristenprogramm durchzuziehen, da die Innenstadt wirklich sehr attraktiv ist. Fahrkarten würde ich mir besorgen, kann man aber an jeder Station ziehen. Doch meist hat man an der Ersten kein passendes Geld... Die Stadtrundfahrten im Bus sind auch ganz gut. Hier gibt es Busse mit Kopfhörern und welche mit Live Kommentar. Ich mache oft wenn ich irgendwo neu bin eine Stadtrundfahrt mit Tageskarte, erst eine Runde zum Überblick verschaffen und bei der Nächsten kann ich dann an der gewünschten Station abspringen und später wieder weiterfahren. Aber es gibt noch sooo viel anderes, abseits der Hauptattraktionen zu sehen... Streift einfach mal durch das Internet, da gibt es so viele Tipps. Es ist die Mühe wert! Besucht London! Thilo-W.

A Day At Windsor Castle

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

This is a video of our day out at wonderful Windsor Castle Filmed last September and remastered. The following info is from Wikipedia. Windsor Castle, in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, is the largest inhabited castle in the world and, dating back to the time of William the Conqueror, is the oldest in continuous occupation. It may be the most famous castle in the world. The castle's floor area is approximately 484000 square feet (about 45000 square metres) Together with Buckingham Palace in London and Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, it is one of the principal official residences of the British monarch. Queen Elizabeth II spends many weekends of the year at the castle, using it for both state and private entertaining. Her other two residences, Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle, are the Royal Family's private homes. Most of the Kings and Queens of England have had a direct influence on the construction and evolution of the castle, which has been their garrison fortress, home, official palace, and sometimes their prison. The castle's history and that of the British monarchy are inextricably linked. Chronologically the history of the castle can be traced through the reigns of the monarchs who have occupied it. When the country has been at peace, the castle has been expanded by the additions of large and grand apartments; when the country has been at war, the castle has been more heavily fortified. This pattern has continued to the present day.

Has history been really tampered with? Conclusions

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

Has history been really tampered with? New Chronology theory complies with the most rigid scientific standards:It gives a coherent explanation of what we already know; It is consistent: independent lines of inquiry all lead to the same conclusion; CLICK ON AMAZON.COM LINK! The predictions it makes are confirmed empirically; New Chronology goes by the following basic axioms: - Chronology is the basis of history; - Human evolution has always been linear, gradual and irreversible; - The cyclic nature of human civilization is a myth, likewise all the gaps, duplicates, dark ages and renaissances that we know from consensual history are fantasy and hoax; - The accumulation of geographical knowledge as reflected in cartography is a gradual and irreversible process; - The closer in time is a given manuscript to the events described the less distortions it contains; - There is no useless information in authentic ancient sources. So, why the mainstream historians do not gratify mathematician Academician Doctor Professor Fomenko with thanks, laurels and medals? The Russians: Because Fomenko asserts that there was no such thing as the Tartar and Mongol invasion followed by over two centuries of slavery, providing a formidable body of documental evidence to prove his assertion. The so-called Tartars and Mongols were the actual ancestors of the modern Russians, living in a trilingual state with Arabic and Turkic spoken as freely as Russian. The ancient Russian state was

Imperial War Museum ~ World War 1

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

The First World War, was a global military conflict which took place primarily in Europe from 1914 to 1918. Over 40 million casualties resulted, including approximately 20 million military and civilian deaths. The immediate cause of the war was the June 28, 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb citizen of Austria-Hungary. The retaliation by Austria-Hungary against Serbia activated a series of alliances that set off a chain reaction of war declarations. Within a month, much of Europe was in a state of open warfare. The war was propagated by two major alliances. The Entente Powers initially consisted of France, the United Kingdom, Russia and their associated empires and dependencies. Numerous other states joined these allies, most notably Italy in April, 1915, and the United States in April, 1917. The Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers in October, 1914, followed a year later by Bulgaria. By the conclusion of the war, only The Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and the Scandinavian nations remained officially neutral among the European countries, though many of those provided financial and material support to one side or the other. The fighting of the war mostly took place along several fronts, that broadly encircled the European continent. The Western Front was marked by a system of trenches and fortifications separated by an area known as no man's land. These fortifications stretched 475

Boeing 307 Stratoliner

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

The Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner was the first fully pressurized airliner to enter service anywhere in the world. Being able to fly 20000 feet higher than the 5000 to 10000 foot-altitude unpressurized airplanes a that time, it was said that it could fly above the weather. It carried five crew members and 33 passengers and had a nearly 12-foot wide cabin for overnight berths. The Stratoliner was also the first land-based airplane to have a flight engineer as a member of the crew. Boeing's Model 299, prototype for the military bomber aircraft, which duly became the B-17 Flying Fortress, was developed in parallel with a civil version of the same aircraft, which had the company designation Boeing Model 300. The Model 307, or Stratoliner, was a straight-forward conversion from the supremely successful B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. It employed the wings and tail surfaces of the B-17C Flying Fortress. The Boeing 307 was developed to start another era, that of pressurized comfort at higher altitudes than had been previously contemplated. The aircraft was the result of considerable research in high altitude flying by Tommy Tomlinson, of TWA, who was estimated to have flown more hours above 30000 feet, than all other pilots combined. With his recommendations, Boeing produced an airliner which could cruise at 14000 feet. The Boeing 307 first flew on December 31, 1938, and TWA put it into service on the transcontinental route on 8 July 1940, reducing the time to 13 hrs. 40 min

It is at 1, rue Mont Tabor. The métro stop is Tuileries. The ICE and ELAC people (civil engineers) meet here. You get very good value for your money here, people! It is a big, clean, gorgeous, charming old place with wonderful employees and the food is excellent. The portions are huge, so I would say ask if you can pay a supplement and two or even three people share a plate of food! I am serious! They are kind here and will not be offended if you ask! I had duck à l'orange here in May, 2010 and it was two enormous duck legs, cooked correctly, with a huge pile of super fresh green beans as only the French can do them, and potatoes too I think, and of course the bread and water are included. I was a guest but I think my dish was well, well under 25 euros. That may seem like a lot to you, but this is in one of the most posh and central nabes in Paris! You can stroll through the arcades on the rue de Rivoli nearby, enjoy the Tuileries gardens right there, there are tourist shops with silly tacky stuff, the River Seine is right there, you can go toward St Paul Le Marais and go to the Carnavelet Museum, which is free, and this is a lovely place I recommend. It is romantic and vibrant, though a tad noisy. The hotels near here looked interesting. The Renaissance is very pricey, but wow, it sure looks like class, and the other across the street is cheaper but still a lot at at least 200 euros per night. I know other places to stay and can guide you. Contact me at slobomotion@gmail

Thanks to Maria (Mary, Marie, Mariia) Bashkirtseva(Bashkyrtseva, Bashkirtseff,Bashkirtceva), Марія Башкирцева, а painter, sculptor, writer.The French attributed her to their pantheon, saying Bashkyrtseva as spiritual, intellectual and artistic personality is formed in France where she lived from 13 years old.The Russians say she is Russian, because she comes from the Russian Empire in the stock which was then Ukraine and her parents had Russian roots. Bashkyrtseva positioned herself as a person who came from Ukraine. When the Pope hosted her mother and she in Rome he asked: Are you from Russia? - They answered: No, we are from Ukraine. In the diary we find the following words of Mary Bashkyrtseva: When I was little, to our Havrontsi came merchants from Russia. We laughed with their strange language, with their beards ... She also wrote the following sentence: The Russians with their two capitals for me are different. In fact, she belonged to that bright cosmopolitan tribe that appeared in Paris at the end of the second half of the nineteenth century. They called themselves citizens of the world. These were mostly people of art. But each of them some more, some less extent, remembered the land that bore him, and had a nostalgic yearning for her. Bashkyrtseva being terminally ill, said in her diary: Drive home. But the land is awaiting you, you have a great patriotic responsibility ... She was born in Havrontsi (Gavrontsi), near Dykanka,Poltava region in Ukraine

( video 1993, Lourdes, France). Lourdes is a small market town lying in the foothills of the Pyrenees, famous for Marian apparitions that are reported to have occurred in 1858. At that time, the most prominent feature was the fortified castle that rises up from the center of the town on a rocky escarpment. Following the reports that Our Lady of Lourdes had appeared to Bernadette Soubirous on several occasions, Lourdes has developed into a major place of Christian pilgrimage and of alleged miraculous healings. The 150th Jubilee of the first apparition took place on February 11 2008 with a outdoor mass attended by approx 45000 pilgrims. Today Lourdes has a population of around 15000 inhabitants but is able to take in some 5000000 pilgrims and tourists every season.

Chateaux of the Loire Valley - France

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:52 +0400

The châteaux, numbering more than three hundred, represent a nation of builders starting with the necessary castle fortifications in the 10th century to the splendor of those built half a millennium later. When the French kings began constructing their huge châteaux here, the nobility, not wanting or even daring to be far from the seat of power, followed suit. Their presence in the lush, fertile valley began attracting the very best landscape designers. Château de Valençay. By the middle of the 16th century, King Francois I had shifted the center of power in France from the Loire back to the ancient capital of Paris. With him went the great architects, but the Loire Valley continued to be the place where most of the French royalty preferred to spend the bulk of their time. The ascension of King Louis XIV in the middle of the 17th century made Paris the permanent site for great royal châteaux when he built the Palace of Versailles. Nonetheless, those who gained the king's favour and the wealthy bourgeoisie continued to renovate existing châteaux or build lavish new ones as their summer residence in the Loire. The French Revolution saw a number of the great French châteaux destroyed and many ransacked, their treasures stolen. The overnight impoverishment of many of the deposed nobility, usually after one of its members lost their head to the guillotine, saw many châteaux demolished. During World War I and World War II, some chateaux were commandeered as military

Cityson.info l'audio guide des œuvres d'arts publiques. Edouard François - Hotel Fouquet's Barrière 46 Avenue George V | 08 Arrondissement, Paris 75008, France Lhotel Fouquets Barrières de Paris, proche des Champs Elysées, a été lobjet dune restructuration visant à unir les sept grands hotels qui forment lilot du triangle dor. Cette intervention se fonde sur une conception anglo-saxone dite dushell and core qui se caractérise par une dissociation des formes extérieure et intérieure. Ce principe permet de composer un espace intérieur moderne et novateur tout en respectant lHistoire et le style de lenvironnement. Larchitecte Edouard François a pu ainsi inscrire la modernité dans lancien, de laisser sa place à ce qui prééxister auparavant. Cette intervention laisse donc toute sa place à la prééxistence sans pour autant renoncer à affirmer son concept de modernité. Larchitecture de la façade reste marquée par sa forme prééxistante mais dans un meme temps des éléments viennent trahir lhomogénéité comme le traitement superficiel qui reprend la forme preexistente mais nen conserve pas les couleurs et les matériaux. Les fenetres haussmaniennes aussi nexistent plus que dans leur cadre et ont été doublées par de larges ouvertures rectangulaires et sobres qui ponctuent la façade. Elle devient alors une partition musicale rythmée par des lignes, des pleins et des vides qui sont autant de silences, de notes brèves et longues. Le son reprend alors conceptuellement lespace et le

Kube Rooms

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

As its name suggests, the Kube Rooms Hotel is dominated by one particular geometric shape in its interior design. In addition to, obviously, lots of cubes, the themes of coolness and transparency, which are emphasised throughout the public spaces are offset by the warming sense of privacy and comfort that pervades the guestrooms. The courtyard of the revamped 19th century building features a see-through cube, which contains the necessary reception facilities in a suitable way. Oozing a sleek iciness in its public spaces, the 31 guestrooms and 10 suites of the hotel turn the heat up a little with warm touches added to the arctic-geometric theme. Black and white faux-fur curtains give the space a definite cuddly feel whilst readily living up to the chic provided by the pastel-coloured furniture in tarnished glass. Despite the feeling of having walked onto the set of an achingly smart 60s sci-fi classic, the materials are distinctly modern and the design, overall, also aims to break with any sense of traditional conformity: The beds are lit from beneath, creating the illusion of levitation, which definitely adds to the overall sense of spaciousness, clarity and calm. Kube is future-retro made real. This stylish bar serves as the heart of the hotel in which youll find yourself transported to a rather futuristic space, complete with generously high ceilings, lots of stainless-steel gratings, floor-to-ceiling curtains and a long counter in tarnished silver.

Paris, Las Vegas Paris Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, USA , that is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. As its name suggests, its theme is the city of Paris in France; it includes a 1/2 scale, 540 foot (164.6 m) tall replica of the Eiffel Tower, a neon sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon, a two-thirds size Arc de Triomphe and a replica of La Fontaine des Mers. The front facade of the building suggests the Paris Opera House and the Louvre. The Paris is linked via a promenade to its sister property, Bally's Las Vegas. It also is linked to the Las Vegas Monorail. [edit] History The project was originally announced by Bally's Entertainment, owner of the adjacent Bally's Las Vegas. Ground was broken for the Paris on April 17, 1997. It opened September 1, 1999 with fireworks being shot from the Eiffel tower. French actress Catherine Deneuve flipped a switch, turning on all of the Paris' lights. Building began under Hilton Hotels, which purchased Bally Entertainment in 1996; Hilton's casinos were subsequently spun off into Park Place Entertainment, which purchased Caesars World in 2000 and changed its name to Caesars Entertainment in 2004. At the time of its opening, the hotel ran amusing television advertisements throughout the United States implying that it had ensured the authenticity of its reproductions of Paris landmarks, culture and cuisine by looting the real city.

This is a quick overview of our room at the Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris 2010. It is the biggest and grandest hotel of all the Disney themed hotels and is situated directly in front/above the main entrance into the Disneyland Park which is a bonus. The hotel is like a palace, decorated elaborately from the chandelier in the lobby to the wallpaper and even the lifts! Also with many extras for children and adults to do, including a Spa, Games room, Crèche, Swimming pool, Sauna and steam room. Also in the package with our room was the Hotel easy pass which entitles anyone staying in a Disney hotel to the 'extra magical hours'. This means you get to go into the park earlier and leave later! Considering the standard of the hotel it is obviously the most pricey hence us only staying here for our last night of the week. For instance the one night cost us around 450 English pounds.

Disneyland Paris Memories

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

I hope that you enjoy our family visiting Disneyland Paris and Disney Studios in July this year (2009). I couldnt find many videos of the parks on YouTube to show the kids and get them excited about our upcoming trip. We have 4.5 year old twins and a 1.5 year old, and had a truly wonderful time. The park was fabulously maintained and there is plenty to see. We took the Eurostar from London and stayed for 3 days/2 nights (we are from Australia). If you have young kids, you may need a stroller as the parks are huge and you will end up with them on your shoulders most of the time. As we were there in summer holidays, the lines were very long, but our kids were more than happy seeing the characters in the hotel, parks and restaurants. The ambiance is fantastic and the park is as good as its counterparts in the USA. Watch out for the Euro exchange rate (Ouch!) and the all too many souvenir shops that are scattered every 20 metres. It is very easy to get from the Disney hotels; however the fireworks are very late (11pm) for young kids. My only regret is that I didnt get to go on any of the adult rides guess Ill have to wait another 10 years or so! Enjoy!

Atlantis Hotel Aquarium

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Amazing aquarium! The one in La Rochelle in France is small comparing to this one. ''A four-metre-long whale shark that was spotted by a local fisherman off the coast of Jebel Ali - United Arab Emirates, has been captured and moved to an aquarium at the new Atlantis hotel on the Palm Jumeirah.The hotel said the shark was clearly under duress when it was sighted and its team of biologists and veterinarians made the decision to move it to the 11-million-litre lagoon for medical care and observation, due to the high temperature and salinity of the water it was in. A representative of the hotel said she was unable to say when the whale shark would be returned to the wild. The spokesperson, who said that the protected species was rescued on August 28, added: Staff at Atlantis are monitoring her. They cant speculate when she will be released.

Concorde Flight 4590: Final Moments Before Crash

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

The Concorde, loaded with fuel for the trans-Atlantic flight, went down shortly after takeoff, crashing near the town of Gonesse, about 10 miles north of Paris, at 4:44 pm local time. All 109 people on board were killed. Three children were among the passengers. Four people in a local hotel on died, with a dozen people on the ground injured. A French judge ordered Continental Airlines and five people to stand trial for manslaughter in connection with the horrific crash of a Concorde jet that killed 113 people eight years ago in France, a prosecutor said July 2008. Two of the people to be tried are employees of Continental, the prosecutor in the Paris suburb of Pontoise said in a statement. Two others were employed by Aerospatiale, the maker of Concorde and the precursor of plane-maker Airbus. The fifth is an employee of the French civilian aviation authority. The No2 main gear wheel tyre is missing after the explosive burst and that un-burnt fuel is flowing from the ruptured tank. A few feet from the tank around the engine area the fuel appears to be being ignited from the fuel that is already burning. The initial cause of the ignition is believed to be from sparks derived from shorted wiring in the landing gear bay area. French investigators blamed a titanium strip on the runway from a Continental Airlines DC-10, which took off just before the luxury jet. John Taylor, a mechanic who allegedly fitted the non-standard strip is to stand trial for manslaughter. The titanium

My trip and flight to Klagenfurt Austria

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Traveling, coming from Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) to Klagenfurt (LOWK), Austria via Munich International (EDDM). This is the final leg from Munich to Klagenfurt, flying on Air Dolomiti ATR-72 aircraft which was my 2nd time flying this type. I was surprised by the friendlines of the crew and smooth flight over the Alps. This is an incredible aircraft and I enjoy riding it. It's small but nevertheless great to fly in. This was also my 2nd time flying with Italian Air Dolomiti. Great catering. Air Dolomiti is a regional airline with a few-years tradition of flying around Europe. They do a lot of flying with Lufthansa, covering smaller airports like Klagenfurt, Graz and similar in Austria and around the continent.

Speed Racer in german

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

A young man named Speed Racer wants to become a professional racer, despite the lack of Pops Racer's (his father) approval. When Pops reluctantly quits his job after the corporation he was working for declined production of a modified engine for his new racing car, the Mach 5, he later thinks of creating his own family owned company, Racer Motors (Mifune Motors in Japan). He realizes that he would need a great amount of money to make his idea work. Nonetheless, Pops conceals his plans for the Mach 5's new engine on a windshield. Speed, who values the welfare of his family, decides to take it upon himself to obtain the money for Pops. In hopes of using his unique driving skills to do so, Speed decides to do what he does best and enters a race. Speed, along with the help of his friend and mechanic, Sparky, tune up and adjust the Mach 5 in preparation for the race, attaching a new windshield in the process. Unbeknownst to them, they had taken Pops' windshield that concealed the plans for the new engine. Speed takes the windshield along to the race the next day. With the windshield, Speed unwittingly brought trouble towards him, for a corporate gang, who is after Pops' revolutionary designs for the engine, sabotages the race, putting Speed in peril. Speed, through his wit, realizes that Pops had hidden the plans on the windshield and fights hard to prevent the gang from stealing it. In a last minute effort to save his father's hard work, Speed shatters the windshield with his helmet so that in effect, nobody walks away with the plans. With the gang out of the way, Speed finishes and wins the race...however, he does not win the prize money since officials had found out that the race was sabotaged by the corporate gang. A slightly disappointed Speed apologizes to a slightly frustrated Pops, who had found out that Speed had entered the race, for entering the race and destroying his plans. Pops tells Speed that the plans were always locked within his head and gets slightly enraged and tells Speed to quit racing. Speed, who is confident enough to ignore Pops, drives away into many different adventures that come towards him and his friends.

Life in Los Angeles in early 40s

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Life in Los Angeles California in the 1940s had to be much different then today. Daily buzz, fast tempo and all the craziness, not to talk about the enviromental issues we're facing today which in the 40s and 50s did't exist at all. I think even the celebrities of Hollywood were more down to earth then these days. Today all they care about is their attention thus creating scandals and all the nonsense which is completely against the definition of being a role model. I think the values have changed a lot. So what do you think, how different was life back then in the old times? Care to share?

Check My Flight Munich - Chicago

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

This videos is about flying from Munich Germany to Chicago O'Hare Airpot in the winter. Now it's about 3PM local time over Canada and the sun is about to set. The scenery of northern Canada is extremely beautiful, millions of lake, flat country covered with snow. This country is even more beautiful when overflying during the summer when you can clearly see the rivers and lakes and forrests etc. Canada in my opinion is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever seen. I love flying there or just simply overflying it. This flight was Lufthansa LH 434 on an Airbus A330 which is a great twin-engine airplane.

CNN edition MyCity-MyLife

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

This is CNN Edition MyCity_MyLife presentin the Cardigans'. If The Cardigans’ previous album was majestic and mature, “Super Extra Gravity” is an unruly and spectacular album. Still, there are similarities. The band succeeds in retaining everything that was good about ”Long Gone Before Daylight” while, at the same time, rebelling against it. Continuity and reaction in one. That the last album marked the beginning of a new chapter in the Swedish band’s history was obvious. However, as their composer/guitarist Peter Svensson puts it, ”it just wouldn’t be The Cardigans if we went in and made the same album again”. So, what was the inspiration this time around? – We wanted to make an album that was ”strange and good”, says singer/lyricist Nina Persson. The idea was that each song should contain something twisted and spectacular. Both Nina and Peter independently mention The Pixies as an inspiration. – Not surprisingly, we don’t sound like them at all, Peter smiles. (source: www.cardigans.com).

Find out where they hang out, which areas mean most to them and discover what sights they think give you a true flavor of their city. (source: CNN.com)

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

This is my trip to the United States of America in February 2010 when I was flying from Munich, Germany (EDDM) to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD). We were on a Lufthansa flight LH 434 and the type was Airbus A330-300. This is one of the most incredible airplanes I've ever flown on and I've flown with many different ones like B747 the Queen of the Skies, DC-10, A330, A340, A319, A321, A320, B737, B727, B757, B767, B777 and many more. Flying accross the Pond is always attracting and interesting. But it realy matters if the airplane and the crew are good. This was perfect. The plane and the flight attendants. The food was great. I've flown with Lufthansa about 20 times from Europe to the States and back and they've never let me down. It is one of the best airlines in the world.

I will most likely travel to many different places in FL but will spend most of my time in Panama City and surrounding area. I have visited FL about 10 years ago and I liked it.

So I am hoping for some great time in this southern state, hopefuly without any bad weather, Hurricanes and floods. Looking forward to your comments to this post. Thanks!

City of Garland

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Garland Texas is a city of some 223,000 people. It is only about 14 miles away from Dallas center (downtown) and about 40 minutes away from Dallas International Airport (DFW) which makes it a perfect place to live even though it's positioned in the metroplex area of Dallas. The history of Garland goes back to the 1846 when Texas attained statehood. Prior to this year the city was a part of vast Paters colony (a settlement of families) around the current town of Dallas. The settlers started moving in in the 1850s and a community was formed in 1874. The land around the are is black and so it was suited for growing cotton which becaume their main product. Due to new Santa Fe railroad line which was built almost a mile away people started to move closer to the rail and established a town called Embree. The same year Missouri, Kansas Texas Railroad built its own station a bit north and called it Duck Creek. A battle between Embree and Duck Creek arose because they both needed and wanted the post office (which had been moved to Embree) so Joe Abbott (Congressman) was asked to move the office in between the cities. In 1887 the Government moved the post office and also named the town Garland after Attorney General A. H. Garland. Today Garland is an advanced mid-sized town in Texas which is well connected with the whole world due to the vicinity of major airport (DFW), railroad and highways.

What do we know about the city of Newport, Rhode Island? A lot. It was founded in 1639 by the English settlers and has become unique from the start on. Since 1641 it embraced the policy of liberty of conscience and religion. The city itself was very diverse in many way, religion included. The first settlers that came from England arrived on Aquidneck Island. It was in 1636 and was followed by an estonishing women Anne Hutchinson who was basicaly kicked-out of Boston because of her religious beliefs. She had some followers who purchased Aquidneck Island which was later on renamed to Rhode Island. The land these settlers inhabitated was previously used by the natives and thus cleaned and ready for use. Newport today is a modern place and is unique in many ways. One of the uniques is seen in the history on the landscape and preserved architecture. It is regarded as one of the nicest and culturaly rich city in the Continental United States.

Ride in Medieval castles

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

I've been traveling the whole world (especialy Europe) for almost 20 years now. I've been to various countries, big and small, modern and not so advanced, rich and poor but what realy impressed me was Europe and the castles on the continent. There is so many various castles in so many countries. Like Sctotland, England, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, France... These castles are so beautiful. Usualy they are restaurated so they look realy nice. And the thing I love the most is their age and genious way they were build. One that impressed me a lot was the Old Castle in Celje Slovenia. It sits on a hill over the city (I've noticed the castles in Europe were built this was, I guess because of the extra protection even though I feel sorry for the people that had to build it in such a way) and has a tall tower which is called Frideriks tower, then there is a huge courtyard and some extra compound. The castle is some 800 years old. It is beautiful. Then there are various castles in Scotland and England which are a lot larger in size then this one I had just mentioned. I like the ones in Austria and Germany. If you travel from Austria to Germany via Salzburg you will pass some incredible sites and structures. They are so cool. Does anyone have some similar experiences? Please share.

John Travolta House in Ocala Florida

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

John Travolta has been one of the most famous actors for decades. Movies like the Grease, Broken Arrow, The Swordfish, Saturday Night Fever and many more have catapulted John to worldwide fame over and over. Born on February 18, 1954 in Englewood, New Jersey to Salvatore Travolta who was a semi-professional football player and Helen Cecila. After attending Dwight Morrow High School, Travolta moved across the Hudson River to New York City and landed a role in the touring company of the musical Grease and on Broadway in Over Here! singing the Sherman Brothers' song Dream Drummin'. He then moved to Los Angeles to further his career in show business. Travolta's first California-filmed television role was as a fall victim in, Emergency! (S2E2), in September 1972, but his first significant movie role was as Billy Nolan, a bully who was goaded into playing a prank on Sissy Spacek's character in the horror film, Carrie (1976). Around the same time, he landed his star-making role as Vinnie Barbarino in the TV sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter (1975–1979), in which his sister, Ellen, also occasionally appeared (as Arnold Horshack's mother). John is also a pilot. He has various ratings and one of them is also Boeing B-707. Among other places he lives in Ocala Florida as well.

John Travolta's restored boeing 707B Jett Clipper Johnny

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

The Boeing 707 is a four-engined commercial passenger jet airliner developed by Boeing in the early 1950s. Its name is most commonly pronounced as Seven Oh Seven. Boeing delivered a total of 1,010 Boeing 707s including a smaller, faster model of the aircraft that was marketed as the Boeing 720. Although it was not the first commercial jet in service, the 707 was among the first to be commercially successful. Dominating passenger air transport in the 1960s, and remaining common throughout the 1970s, the 707 is generally credited with ushering in the Jet Age. It established Boeing as one of the largest makers of passenger aircraft, and led to the later series of aircraft with 7x7 designations. Travolta is a certified pilot and owns five aircraft, including an ex-Australian Boeing 707–138 airliner. The plane bears the name Jett Clipper Ella in honor of his children. Pan American World Airways was a large operator of the Boeing 707 and used Clipper in its names. The 707 aircraft bears the marks of Qantas, as Travolta acts as an official goodwill ambassador for the airline wherever he flies. His $4.9 million estate in the Jumbolair subdivision in Ocala, Florida, is situated on Greystone Airport with its own runway and taxiway right to his front door.

Boeing 707 takeoff from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has been owned and operated by the City of Phoenix since 1935. Back in the 1930's, the Airport had one runway. No one could have imagined the tremendous growth that would come to the Phoenix area and as a result, to the Airport. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is one of the ten busiest in the nation and among the top 20 busiest in the world with a $90 million daily economic impact. On a typical day: - More than 1,200 aircraft arrive and depart - More than 100,000 passengers arrive and depart - More than 600 tons of air cargo is handled. Sky Harbor was purchased by the City of Phoenix in July of 1935 for $100,000. The City paid $35,300 in cash and took out a $64,700 mortgage. Sky Harbor's size: 3,000 acres. Terminal 1 was the first modern terminal built. It was completed in October 1952 and cost $853,000. In 1990 Terminal 1 was demolished, but the other terminals were never renumbered. Terminal 2 was completed in 1962 at a cost of $2.7 million. Its size is 330,000 square feet. Terminal 3 is 880,000 square-feet in size and was completed in 1979. The cost of Terminal 3 was $35 million. Terminal 4 opened in 1990 and cost of $248 million. It measures 2.3 million square-feet in size. Parking-Currently, there are more than 30,000 parking spaces at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Airport Funding – Where Does It Come From? Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, America’s Friendliest Airport®, is one of the top ten busiest airports in the nation and among the top 20 busiest in the world. Offering flights to many exciting destinations, PHX Sky Harbor also gives travelers a variety of customer service amenities. But what some people might not know is how exactly the Airport is funded. PHX Sky Harbor is owned and operated by the city of Phoenix. However, did you know that no local tax dollars fund PHX Sky Harbor? That’s right – it is a common misconception that local tax dollars fund PHX Sky Harbor, but in fact, they don’t. Instead, revenue is generated from Airport shops, restaurants, parking, taxis, and rental cars. So each time travelers pass through PHX Sky Harbor and purchase a meal, souvenirs or rent a car, the Airport receives revenue. Wondering if some of this revenue can be transferred to the city of Phoenix general fund to help with the budget? Unfortunately not. While we would love to be able to give additional funding to community organizations and other city departments, federal law states that no funding from the Airport can be sent to the City’s general fund or organizations. In other words, monies earned at the Airport must stay at the Airport for improvements in such areas as safety and security rather than funneled away for other uses or to other departments.

Hillsong in Atlanta Georgia

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

The Hillsong United band is an Australian rock and worship band, a part of Hillsong Church's youth ministry Hillsong United. Their music is a contemporary style of praise and worship tempered with mainstream rock. History The band formed as close friends from within youth ministry, originally called 'Powerhouse Youth', led for many years by Donna Crouch. As the house band for the youth meetings of Powerhouse, the band played covers of Hillsong Church and various other ministries' music, sometimes members contributing to Youth Alive and its' albums (Darlene Zschech was involved in Youth Alive before Hillsong Church). Dr. Mark Evans (Macquarie Uni) states in his Ph. D thesis, A youth band was formed from the Hillsong music team, which took what was happening in the church musically and played it louder and rockier, appealing directly to a youth demographic. Steve McPherson, Deb Ezzy and Donia Makedonez were significant members. Powerhouse grew and was split in the late 1990s into two youth groups, 'Powerhouse' (18-25 years of age) and 'Wildlife' (12-16 yrs). Reuben Morgan, assisted by Marcus Beaumont and Tanya Riches were placed in charge of the Powerhouse band, with the former Channel V Leg-Up competition winner 'Able' band boys, Joel Houston and Marty Sampson in charge of Wildlife, while Luke Munns was the main drummer, and Michael Guy Chislett the main guitarist. In the Summer of 1997, the new team made a huge impact at their youth ministry's Summer Camp. After coming back from Summer Camp with God full in their hearts, the many youth ministries in Hillsong Church joined together as one, and started to call the nights, UNITED Nights. When united, God does something powerful. Delirious?' Martin Smith's song 'Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble' was the theme song of the camp, and the momentum of youth carried well beyond the camp into church services. Reuben Morgan wrote 'My Redeemer Lives' as a way for the youth to continue worshipping, along with many other songs that appear on the album 'By Your Side' written by Marty Sampson and Luke Munns 'Stay'. Darlene Zschech suggested to Reuben that they make an album in 1998 after many songs were written in the youth ministry, and the EP 'One' was recorded. The album was packaged with the Hillsong annual album, and both achieved Gold sale status in Australia. 'Everyday' was recorded in 1999. The band continued to release an album each year, rebranding as Hillsong United in 2002 after Reuben Morgan stepped down as co-worship leader of the band. Joel Houston, the eldest son of the church's senior pastor Brian Houston, stepped up to lead the group together with Marty. Current members of the Hillsong United band include Jonathon Douglass (J.D.), Jadwin Jad Gillies, Holly Watson, Annie Garratt, Bec Gillies, and Michelle Fragar, daughter of Russell Fragar. Michael Guy Chislett plays guitar and Matthew Tennikoff plays bass guitar. Former original drummer Luke Munns made a transition from the drums to front the rock/indie band LUKAS. Popular New Zealand artist Brooke Fraser recently joined the band when she joined the church, first appearing on United We Stand. The annual Hillsong United CD/DVD was recorded over many years during their October youth conference Encounterfest, with the album released in the first quarter of the following year. The 2007 album All of the Above was the first album to be fully studio recorded, containing videos of songs on the DVD. The band has toured in a number of countries, leading worship to thousands in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Following his marriage to Michelle on November 2006, Marty stepped down as one of the main worship leaders of the band. He contributed two more songs with United, 'Devotion' (which he wrote sang on the album) 'Saviour King' (which he wrote w/ Mia Fieldes), before he officially stepped down. These songs were part of the 2007 release All of the Above . Brooke replaced Marty as one of the principal worship leaders of the band, while Marty moved on to join the main band to serve as one of main Hillsong worship leaders alongside Darlene and Reuben.

One Way by Hillsong Manila 2010

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Brian and Bobbie Houston moved from New Zealand in 1978 and joined the Sydney Christian Life Centre at Darlinghurst, pastored by Brian Houston's father, Frank Houston. They started Hillsong Church, which was then known as Hills Christian Life Centre, in August 1983 with services held at the Baulkham Hills Public School hall and with an initial congregation of 45. Within four years it had grown to 900 people. In 1990, the church moved from the warehouse, which they had occupied since 1984, to hold services at the Hills Centre. In 1986, an annual conference was developed, now called Hillsong Conference, which was created to be a blessing to the church worldwide and to champion the cause of the local church. In the early 1990s, praise and worship recordings from the Hills Christian Life Centre were released in Australia and internationally under the name Hillsong. This raised the profile of the church. The name is also used for a television show featuring clips from the videos of the recordings and a message from Brian Houston. In 1997 the church moved into its new building at Baulkham Hills' Norwest Business Park. In the late 1990s the church realised that the name Hillsong was more well-known than Hills Christian Life Centre due to the branding of its recordings. The church was renamed Hillsong Church in 1999, about the same time its mother church, Sydney Christian Life Centre, was merged into Hillsong Church. After further consistent growth, a new 3,500 seat convention centre at the church's Hills campus was opened, on 19 October 2002, by John Howard, the then Prime Minister of Australia. Due to the rapid growth of the City campus, in 2007 the church announced its intentions to develop a significant area of land on Rothschild Avenue, Rosebery into the new City campus. In August 2008, Hillsong withdrew the development application they had lodged with the Sydney City Council after an independent report recommended against the council approving the development, and in August 2009 announced that the site was for sale. It has been reported that Hillsong is looking at other options for its City church plans, including buying the former Royal South Sydney Hospital site.

Michael Whitaker Smith was born October 7, 1957 to Paul and Barbara Smith in Kenova, West Virginia. A sister named Kim would follow. Michael was a typical boy – active in baseball, his family’s church activities, and playing piano. But in not-so-typical fashion, he wrote his first song at age five. At the age of ten, he made a decision to give his life to Christ. He dreamed of playing professional baseball. Michael attended college at Marshall University in West Virginia but after one semester dropped out to move to Nashville and pursue a career in music. (side note trivia: In 1992 Michael received an honorary Doctorate of Music degree from Alderson-Broaddus College in Philippi, West Virginia.) Sitting at Your feet is where I want to be I'm home when I am here with You Ruined by Your grace, enamored by Your gaze I can't resist the tenderness in You I'm deep in love with You, Abba Father I'm deep in love with You, Lord My heart, it beats for You, precious Jesus I'm deep in love with You Lord Humbled and amazed that You would call my name I never have to search again There's a deep desire that's burning like a fire To know You as my closest friend Lord, my redeemer, Your blood runs through my veins My love for You is deeper than it was yesterday I enter through the curtain, parted by Your grace Oh, Your the lover of my soul

Papeete Capital city of Tahiti

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

It is the capital of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The commune (municipality) of Papeete is located on the island of Tahiti, in the administrative subdivision of the Windward Islands, of which Papeete is the administrative capital. The French High Commissioner also resides in Papeete. It is the primary center of Tahitian and French Polynesian public and private governmental, commercial, industrial and financial services, the hub of French Polynesian tourism and a commonly used Port of call. The Windward Islands are themselves part of the Society Islands. The urban area of Papeete had a total population of 131,695 inhabitants at the August 2007 census, 26,017 of whom lived in the commune of Papeete proper. The growth of the city was boosted by the decision to move the nuclear weapon test range from Algeria to the atolls of Mururoa and Fangataufa, some 1,500 km (930 mi) at the east of Tahiti; this originated in particular in the construction of the Faa'a airport next to Pape'ete, the only international airport in French Polynesia. In 1983, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built the Papeete Tahiti Temple here because of the large number of members in the region. On 5 September 1995 the government of Jacques Chirac conducted the first of the last series of nuclear test detonations off the shores of Moruroa. A resulting riot in Papeete lasted for two days and damaged the international airport, injured 40 people, and scared away tourism for some time.(Similar rioting occurred after another French nuclear test in the same area in 1987).

Park City Utah

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

On June 19, 1898 most of Park City burned to the ground. Residents helplessly stood by as the flames jumped from building to building. Miraculously no lives were lost and there was no looting. Without missing an issue, The Park Record set up temporary headquarters in a canvas tent. Reconstruction began immediately at the rate of almost a building a day. By 1899 the City Hall had been rebuilt and Park City was still a leader in the silver boom. In 1948, this historical marker was dedicated to honor George Snyder and his large family who arrived in the Park City area on May 25, 1872. On July Fourth of that same year a celebration was held to officially name Park City. The bell hung atop city hall from 1902-1948. It was used as a warning for fires and any other catastrophe that might strike. The marker now lives at the entrance to the Holiday Village Mall on Kearns Blvd. After the first settlement in the Salt Lake City Valley, the first known discovery of this area was by Colonel Patrick E. Connor who instigated his men to search the area in bringing non-Mormons to the Utah region.[4] The finding of silver, gold and lead sparked the first silver mines in Park City in the 1860s. In 1872, this town was founded and dedicated by George Snyder and his family on their journey to current Salt Lake City and was known as Synderbasin, which later earned the name of Parley's Park City, and then shortened to Park City in the early 1900s. Park City’s large mining boom brought large crowds of prospectors setting up camps around the mountain terrain, marking the first mining settlements. The Daly Mining Company and Anchor Mining Company were two of the first major producers.[5][4] While silver was thriving in Utah, other mines across the world were depleted, drawing many of these miners to Park City. The town flourished with crowds of miners and wealth. However, the city nearly became a ghost town by the end of the 1950s because of a drop in the price of silver, and the determent of World War I and the Great Depression. The transformation of this town into a ski resort is primarily attributed to the silver need during (and after) World War I economy. The war and Great Depression were creating strikes and crippling the economy.[6][4] Once the site of the largest silver-mining camp in the country, the town was virtually destroyed by fire in 1898. It was home to the famous Ontario and Silver King Coalition mines. Tragedy struck again in 1902 when 34 miners were killed in an explosion in the Day West Mine. The mining community never fully recovered and the miners resorted to desperate measures. These desperate measures were based on the need to revive the economy, and in doing so the miners gave up their mining heritage, turning to the rising interest in the West and skiing. The silver industry was suffering severely, and the town was hanging by a thread when ’Parkite’ miners presented to Utahns Inc,. a proposal for a ski resort called Treasure Mountain which ended up saving the town. This ski resort opened in 1963 on 10,000 acres of land the miners owned with mineral rights. This is said to be when tourists first largely began to visit Park City. This marks the beginning of the ski industry largely promoted by the Utah State Legislation as a destination resort.[7] From this intense publicity by the Utah Tourist and Publicity Council, Park City has flourished in the light as being ski mecca. Since the rise of the skiing and tourist economy, Park City houses more tourists than residents. Park City has grown through the ideals of a winter wonderland. It has become a place of fame through the 2002 Winter Olympic games and provides more attractions than ever before. In the 1950s, Utah began to feed on Park City as a mountain getaway, and not until D. James Canon promoted winter sports in Utah, with the promotional scheme of “Ski Utah” and “The Greatest Snow on Earth”.[8] did many drive to see for themselves why Utah is a winter wonderland. Utah drew in over 648,000 tourists in 1970 and now a yearly average of 4 million tourists.[9] In a small town with a population of 8,000, the average number of tourists in Park City is 600,000 year. This significant increase in visitors is largely credited to promotional material that is carefully planned and distributed by the Utah Publicity and Tourist Council. Growth has accelerated in the last few decades, and Park City is now one of the most affluent and lively resort towns in the United States. The tourist industry now contributes over 1/3 of the total economic value to the state of Utah.[10] In particular, Park City, draws in 3,006,071 average annual visitors; in the winter 1,603,775, and in the summer 1,402,296. Park City prospers from the average nightly vistor spending ranging from $100 to $350.[11] Currently, Park City primarily relies on its tourist industry from skiing to restaurants to hiking and biking. The makeover of Park City has stimulated an entirely different culture of expenditure, adventure, and wealth, and their promotional material indulges it. As the tourist economy continues to thrive through its unique terrain and mountainous luxury, the struggle for survival was lost, and created a world-renown name of touristic dominance. As long ago as the 1920s, miners in Park City were using underground trains and shafts to gain access to the mountain for skiing. Aerial trams once used for hauling ore were converted into chairlifts. To this day, there are still more than 1000 miles (1609 km) of old silver-mine workings and tunnels beneath the slopes at Park City Mountain Resort and neighboring Deer Valley. Park City might be a fairly nondescript-appearing town were it not for its colorful and evocative Main Street, where 64 Victorian buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Old mine buildings, mineshafts, and hoists, including the weathered remains of the Walker Webster Silver Mine and the water towers once used to hydrate one of the biggest mines, the Silver King, provide a hint of the history of this mining town transformed in economic upheaval into a skiing resort.

La Paz Bolivia The highest capital city in the world

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

At 3660m above sea level, La Paz is the highest capital city in the world with its buildings clinging to the sides of the canyon and downwards. There are many alleys and markets in the centre of the city, with many of the indigenous women walking around with their long black plaits hanging from under their bowler hats selling all types of wares from food to magical goods. The women wear the hat on the side of their head if they are single and on top if they are married. The streets are full with traffic, mostly public transport collectivos or mini vans that have a person hanging out of the window or sliding door yelling out the destination and price. It was easier to follow a local to cross the road, otherwise it seemedlike the traffic would never let us pass. Transit police organise the streets and sometimes control the lights manually. Scary looking boys and men walk around with ski masks on, but they are just the shoe shine workers. It seems to be what they wear, so when you know that it marks their occupation, it isn so scary after all. Founded in 1548 by the Spanish conquistadors at the site of the Native American settlement, Laja, the full name of the city was originally Nuestra Señora de La Paz (meaning Our Lady of Peace). The name commemorated the restoration of peace following the insurrection of Gonzalo Pizarro and fellow conquistadors four years earlier against Blasco Núñez Vela, the first viceroy of Peru. The city was later moved to its present location in the valley of Chuquiago Marka.[8] Control over the former Inca lands had been entrusted to Pedro de la Gasca by the Spanish king (and Holy Roman Emperor) Emperor Charles V. Gasca commanded Alonso de Mendoza to found a new city commemorating the end of the civil wars in Peru; the city of La Paz was founded on October 20, 1548. Pedro Domingo MurilloIn 1549, Juan Gutierrez Paniagua was commanded to design an urban plan that would designate sites for public areas, plazas, official buildings, and a cathedral. La Plaza de los Españoles, which is known today as the Plaza Murillo, was chosen as the location for government buildings as well as the Metropolitan Cathedral. Spain controlled La Paz with a firm grip and the Spanish king had the last word in all matters political. In 1781, for a total of six months, a group of Aymara people laid siege to La Paz. Under the leadership of Tupac Katari, they destroyed churches and government property. Thirty years later Indians laid a two-month siege on La Paz - where and when the legend of the Ekeko is set. In 1809 the struggle for independence from the Spanish rule brought uprisings against the royalist forces. It was on July 16, 1809 that Pedro Domingo Murillo famously said that the Bolivian revolution was igniting a lamp that nobody would be able to turn-off. This formally marked the beginning of the Liberation of South America from Spain. Pedro Domingo Murillo was hanged at the Plaza de los Españoles that night, but his name would be eternally remembered in the name of the plaza, and he would be remembered as the voice of revolution across South America. In 1825, after the decisive victory of the republicans at Ayacucho over the Spanish army in the course of the Spanish American wars of independence, the city's full name was changed to La Paz de Ayacucho (meaning The Peace of Ayacucho). In 1898, La Paz was made the de facto seat of the national government, with Sucre remaining the nominal historical as well as judiciary capital. This change reflected the shift of the Bolivian economy away from the largely exhausted silver mines of Potosí to the exploitation of tin near Oruro, and resulting shifts in the distribution of economic and political power among various national elites.[9] La Paz is the highest (administrative) capital city in the world.(Although it is not the formal capital like Sucre. Calling La Paz the capital of Bolivia is like saying New York City is the capital of the USA.) , La Paz is home to the world's highest Golf Course, Football Stadium, Velodrome (where the world record currently stands), and landing strip (debatable, since the airport is higher than La Paz in El Alto, a slum but distinct city area (own mayor) higher than La Paz.) El Alto has the highest International Airport in the world. There are 'landing strips' higher than El Alto in other countries like China. The current political infighting in Bolivia suggests that the majority of the population do not recognize La Paz as the administrative capital. Santa Cruz is the industrial and money center of Bolivia and many there wish to develop more and more power from La Paz. They are succeeding - leading to conspiracy theories and accusations of assassination squads seeking to take out the government (2008.) It is therefore with caution that anyone can refer to La Paz as a capital city. Sucre is the only recognized, official capital.

Tram traffic bust strike, spirit and water supply faded. The Posit Opera antiquity as rise as the Burgtheater, both on Ringstraße, could be opened again in 1955 after life of reminiscence and age. The four-power acquiring of Vienna differed in both aspects from the four-power activity of Songster: the median atlantic of Vienna, the front regularise, constituted an supranational regulate in which the four powers alternated on a monthly groundwork. When the Songster surround occurred in 1948, Vienna was steady statesman open because there was no airfield in the midwestern sectors, and contingence plans were drafted by the polity.

Port-au-Prince the capital city of Haiti

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Port-au-Prince the great and maximal city of the Caribbean people of State. The metropolis's formal population was 704,776 as of the 2003 counting. The metropolis of Port-au-Prince is on the Disconnect of Mexico: the bay on which the port lies, which book as a raw entertain, has continuous economic reflexion since the civilizations of the Arawaks. It was prototypic integrated under the colonial ruler of the Romance, in 1749, and has been State's largest metropolis since then. The port's layout is confusable to that of an arena; mercenary districts are close the liquid, patch residential neighborhoods are settled on the hills above. Its aggregation is trying to ascertain due to the rapid ontogenesis of slums in the hillsides above the city; nonetheless, recent estimates position the metropolitan country's collection at around 3.5 million, nearly half of the country's someone accumulation. Port-au-Prince was catastrophically stilted by the January 12, 2010 temblor, with monolithic numbers of structures weakened or burnt. Country's polity has estimated the dying toll at 230,000 and says many bodies remain uncounted. Preceding to the reaching of Christopher Navigator, the island of Haiti was haunted by people famous as the Taíno, who arrived in about 2600 BC in whopping canoe canoes. They are believed to originate primarily from what is now oriental Venezuela. By the dimension Metropolis arrived in 1492 AD, the region was under the standard of Bohechio, Taíno cacique of Xaragua. He, similar his predecessors, feared subsiding too fine to the coast-such settlements would make proven to be tempting targets for the Caribes, who lived on neighboring islands. Instead, the location served as a toil fasten. The population of the region was about 400,000 at the experience, but the Taínos were spent within 30 life of the traveller of the Spaniards. With the traveler of the Spaniards, the Amerindians were forced to take a district, and Bohechio, childless at modification, was succeeded by his sis, Anacaona, mate of the cacique Caonabo. Anacaona proven to confirm cordial relations with the Spaniards, but this evidenced to be tough, as the latter came to insist upon larger and larger tributes. Eventually, the Country colonial incumbency decided to ascendence direct, and in 1503, Nicolas Ovando, then control, set virtually to put an end to the régime headed by Anacaona. He invited her and otherwise tribal body to a junket, and when the Amerindians had inebriate a ripe muckle of wine -- the Spaniards did not booze on that occasion-he consecutive most of the guests killed. Anacaona was spared, though only to be hanged publicly Straight Romance rule over the area having been legitimate, Ovando founded a body not far from the seacoast (actress of Etang Saumâtre), ironically named Santa Part de la Paz Verdadera, which would be abandoned several life ulterior. Not lasting thereafter, Ovando supported Santa Region del Puerto. The latter was prototypal burned by Sculpturer explorers in 1535, then again in 1592 by the Arts. These assaults verified to be too untold for the Nation colonial incumbency, and in 1606, it definite to forsake the region. For much than 50 age, the region that is today Port-au-Prince saw its aggregation dip off drastically. Eventually, any buccaneers began to use it as a stock, and Land merchants began to frequent it in examine of leather, as gritty was copious there. Around 1650, Nation pirates, or flibustiers, squirting out of dwell on the Île de la Tortue began to win on the seacoast, and recognised a body at Trou-Borded. As the dependency grew, they set up a hospital not far from the seacoast, on the Turgeau spot. This led to the region existence noted as Hôpital. Although there had been no proper Romance proximity in Hôpital for vessel over 50 age, Espana retained its dress involve to the region, and the ontogeny presence of the Romance flibustiers on ostensibly Romance lands provoked the Land invest to story Castilian soldiers to Hôpital to retake it. The commission tested to be a adversity for the Nation, as they were outnumbered and outgunned, and in 1697, the Nation government autographed the Pact of Ryswick, renouncing any claims to Hôpital. Around this reading, the Carver also accepted bases at Antidepressant (section of Petite-Rivière) and Gonaïves. Plastic was a plushy community, tenanted by merchants, and equipt with uncurving streets; it was here that the governor lived. On the separate laborer, the close part, Petite-Rivière, was quite pinched. Shadowing a large criticism in 1711, Antidepressant was abandoned. Yet the Gallic proximity in the region continuing to farm, and not yearlong thereafter, a new port was supported to the southeasterly: Léogane. While the low Sculptor proximity in Hôpital, the part that was after to contain Port-au-Prince, was that of the flibustiers, as the realm became a factual Gallic body, the colonial body began to unhinge nearly the incessant presence of these pirates. Piece utile in repelling Englishmen aim on trespassing upon Land dominion, they were relatively independent, insensitive to orders from the complex tenure, and a potentiality danger to it. Thence, in the season of 1707, Choiseul-Beaupré, the controller of the part, wanted to get rid of what he saw as a threat. He insisted upon contain of the hospital, but the flibustiers refused, considering this humiliating. They proceeded to closemouthed the hospital, kinda than give know of it to the governor, and many of them became habitans (farmers) -- the freshman the removal of the flibustiers as a gather from Hôpital improved the individual of the colonial governance, it also prefabricated the realm a much prepossessing butt for the Spin. In prescribe to protect the atlantic, in 1706 a officer named de Saint-André sailed into the bay retributive beneath the infirmary, in a ship titled Le Consort. It is said that M. de Saint-André named the expanse Port-au-Prince (meaningful Left of the Le Consort), tho' the side and the close location continuing to be renowned as Hôpital (still, the islets in the bay had already been noted as les îlets du Consort as old as 1680.) The Country did not sweat the atlantic, and various nobles sought demesne grants from the Romance crown in Hôpital; the no. princely to essay Hôpital was Sieur Carpenter Randot. Upon his decease in 1737, Sieur Pierre Morel gained criterion over attempt of the location, with Gatien Bretton des Chapelles getting another parceling of it. By this measure, the complex incumbency was certain that a character requisite to be choson, in enjoin outgo to skillfulness the Sculpturer serving of Santo-Domingo (Haiti). For a minute, Petit-Goâve and Léogane vied for this honor, but both were yet ruled out, for different reasons. First of all, neither was centrally located. Petit-Goâve's climate was too malarial, and Léogane's topography made it difficult to defend. Thus, in 1749 a new city was built: Port-au-Prince. The collection of the country was 1,234,742. The age of the assemblage is of Individual side, but a spectacular multiracial eld controls umteen of the port's businesses. There are large book of Hispanic residents, as fortunate as smaller lottery of Europeans (mostly foreign-born). Citizens of Midsection Southeastern (particularly Syrian and Asiatic) inheritance are a tiny eld with a presence in the city. Semite Haitians (a cosmic ascertain of whom smouldering in the grapheme) are writer often than not, cumulous in financial areas where the figure of them constitute businesses. Most of the mulattoes in the metropolis are deepened and stupid (slightly author so than Manhattan.

Shadowing World War II, Asian Republicans withdrew from allied-occupied Djakarta during their fisticuffs for Malay independence and accepted their city in Yogyakarta. In 1950, formerly metropolis was secured, Jakarta was erstwhile again prefabricated the individual city. Country's creation president, Solon, envisaged Djakarta as a large outside city. He instigated walloping government-funded projects undertaken with openly nationalistic and modernist structure. Projects in Jakarta included a clover-leaf highway, a discipline street (Jalan MH Thamrin-Sudirman), monuments such as The Domestic Sepulcher, student hotels, shopping eye, and a new parliament structure. In Oct 1965, Djakarta was the site of an unsuccessful takeover attempt which saw 6 top generals killed, and finally resulted in the weather of Solon and the play of Suharto's New Inflict. A propaganda sepulcher stands at the place where the gross's bodies were dumped. In 1966, Djakarta was avowed a special capital port dominion (daerah khusus ibukota), thus gaining a status about equivalent to that of a verbalise or area. Supporter Comprehensive Ali Sadikin served as Control from the mid-60's outset of the New Tell through to 1977; he rehabilitated roads and bridges, encouraged the field, built several hospitals, and a largest class of new schools. He also unwooded out slum dwellers for new keep of migration to the city in visit to turning the overcrowding and poverty.

Another rivers permit the Pesanggrahan, and Sunter. These rivers, compounded with Jakarta's low topography gain it unerect to flooding from expanded rivers in the wet toughen and squeaking sea tides. Other contributory factors allow obstructed waste wind and waterways that delivery an rising assemblage, in acquisition to stripping neighbouring speedily urbanizing Bogor and Depok in Jakarta's hinterland. Moreover, Djakarta is an cityfied region with structure socio-economic problems that indirectly promote to triggering a spate event. Subject floods occurred in 1996 when 5,000 hectares of overland were powerless and 2007.

Istanbul The Capital of Turkey

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Istanbul is the maximal municipality in Fowl and ordinal maximal city right in the domain with a population of 12.8 meg, also making it the support largest metropolitan atlantic in Continent by collection, and the largest metropolitan metropolis kosher. Constantinople is also a megacity, as source as the social, efficient, and business heart of Turkey. The port covers 39 districts of the Metropolis domain. It is situated on the Bosphorus Straits and encompasses the rude nurse famous as the Golden Horn, in the point of the region. It extends both on the Inhabitant (Thrace) and on the Continent (Anatolia) sides of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the exclusive metropolis in the world that is situated on two continents. In its bimestrial record, Istanbul has served as the top city of the Papistic Empire (330-395), the Orient Papistical (Tortuous) Corporation (395-1204 and 1261-1453), the Emotional Empire (1204-1261), and the Empire Empire (1453-1922). The port was korea as render European City of Civilisation for 2010. Past areas of Metropolis were another to the UNESCO Earth Attribute Angle in 1985. Byzantium (Greek: Βυζάντιον, Byzántion) is the first known name of the city. Around 660 BC, Greek settlers from the city-state of Megara founded a Doric colony on the present-day Istanbul, and named the new colony after their king, Byzas. After Constantine I (Constantine the Great) made the city the new eastern capital of the Roman Empire in 330 AD, the city became widely known as Constantinopolis or Constantinople, which, as the Latinised form of Κωνσταντινούπολις (Kōnstantinoúpolis), means the City of Constantine. He also attempted to promote the name Nea Roma (New Rome), but this never caught on. Constantinople remained the official name of the city throughout the Byzantine period, and the most common name used for it in the West until the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. By the 19th century, the city had acquired a number of names used by either foreigners or Turks. Europeans often used Stamboul alongside Constantinople to refer to the whole of the city, but Turks used the former name only to describe the historic peninsula between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara. Pera was used to describe the area between the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus, but Turks also used the name Beyoğlu, which is still in use today. However, with the Turkish Postal Service Law of 28 March 1930, the Turkish authorities formally requested foreigners to adopt İstanbul, a name in existence since the 10th century, as the sole name of the city within their own languages. There are many theories attempting to explain İstanbul's etymology. One widely accepted theory states that, İstanbul, colloquially) derives from the Medieval Greek phrase εἰς τὴν Πόλιν or, in the Aegean dialect, εἰς τὰν Πόλιν (Modern Greek στην Πόλη [stin ˈpoli]), which means in the city or to the city. In modern Turkish, the name is written İstanbul, with a dotted İ, as the Turkish alphabet distinguishes between a dotted and dotless I. Also, while in English the stress is on the first syllable (Is), in Turkish it is on the second syllable (tan). Like Rome, Istanbul has been called The City of Seven Hills because the oldest part of the city is supposedly built on seven hills, each of which bears a historic mosque. Recent construction of the Marmaray tunnel unearthed a Neolithic settlement underneath Yenikapı on Istanbul's peninsula. Dating back to the 7th millennium BC, before the Bosphorus was even formed, the discovery indicated that the peninsula was settled thousands of years earlier than previously thought. Thracian tribes established two settlements—Lygos and Semistra—on the Sarayburnu, near where Topkapı Palace now stands, between the 13th and 11th centuries BC. On the Asian side, artifacts have been found in Fikirtepe (present-day Kadıköy) that date back to the Chalcolithic period. The same location was the site of a Phoenician trading post at the beginning of the 1st millennium BC as well as the town of Chalcedon, which was established by Greek settlers from Megara in 685 BC. However, the history of Istanbul generally begins around 660 BC, when the settlers from Megara, under the command of King Byzas, established Byzantion (Latinised as Byzantium) on the European side of the Bosphorus. By the end of the century, an acropolis was established at the former locations of Lygos and Semistra, on the Sarayburnu. The city experienced a brief period under Persian rule at the turn of the 5th century BC, but the Greeks recaptured it during the Greco-Persian Wars. Byzantium then continued as part of the Athenian League and its successor, the Second Athenian Empire, before ultimately gaining independence in 355 BC. Long protected by the Roman Republic, Byzantium officially became a part of the Roman Empire in 73 AD. Byzantium's decision to side with the usurper Pescennius Niger against Roman Emperor Septimus Severus cost it dearly; by the time it surrendered at the end of 195, two years of siege had left the city devastated. Still, five years later, Severus began to rebuild Byzantium, and the city regained—and, by some accounts, surpassed—its previous prosperity. The population of the metropolis more than tripled during the 25 years between 1980 and 2005. Roughly 70% of all Istanbulites live in the European section and around 30% in the Asian section. Due to high unemployment in the southeast of Turkey, many people from that region migrated to Istanbul, where they established themselves in the outskirts of the city. Migrants, predominantly from eastern Anatolia arrive in Istanbul expecting improved living conditions and employment, which usually end with little success. This results each year with new gecekondus at the outskirts of the city, which are later developed into neighbourhoods and integrated into the greater metropolis. The city has a population of 11,372,613 residents according to the latest count as of 2007, and is one of the largest cities in the world today. The rate of population growth in the city is currently at 3.45% a year on average, mainly due to the influx of people from the surrounding rural areas. Istanbul's population density of 2,742 people per square mile (1,700 per square km) far exceeds Turkey's 130 people per square mile (81 people per square km). Most of the city’s population are ethnic Turks. Kurds now constitute the largest ethnic minority in the city. There are several million Kurdish migrants from the countryside in Istanbul. During the early Middle Ages, Istanbul was the largest city in the world, and has been one of the world's largest and most important cities during much of its history (excepting the period of collapse of the Eastern Roman, or Byzantine, Empire before the Ottomans). Its geopolitical significance since ancient times brought representatives of ethnic groups from all over Europe, Asia, and Africa. Throughout its history the ethnic Greek and then Turkish populations have assimilated these groups throughout the city's history. The following overview shows the numbers of inhabitants by year. Population tallies up to 1914 are estimated with variations of up to 50% depending upon researcher. The numbers from 1927 to 2000 are results of censuses. The numbers of 2005 and 2006 are based on computer simulation forecasts. The doubling of the population of Istanbul between 1980 and 1985 is due to a natural increase in population as well as the expansion of municipal limits.

The western side of the city is mainly occupied by the Monsanto Forest Park, one of the largest urban parks in Europe with an area close to 10 km2 (4 sq mi). Lisboa was the displace of the republican coup of Oct 5, 1910 which instated the Portuguese Commonwealth. Previously, it was also the traveling of the regicide of Carlos I of Portugal (1908). The municipality refounded its university in 1911 after centuries of inertia in Lisbon, incorporating unorthodox once colleges and remaining non-university higher education schools of the port (specified as the Escola Politécnica - now Faculdade de Ciências). Today there are 3 semipublic universities in the port (Lincoln of Lisbon, Study University of Lisbon and New University of Lisboa), a exoteric lincoln make (ISCTE - Instituto Premium de Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa) and a polytechnic make (IPL - Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa). See list of universities in Portugal. During Experience War II Lisbon was one of the rattling few objective, yield Denizen Ocean ports, a starring gateway for refugees to the U.S. and a spy nest. Author than 100,000 refugees were fit to scarper Nazi Frg via Lisbon. In 1974, Lisbon was the centered end stop of the Pink Gyration maneuvers, the end of the Portuguese Corporative Programme (Estado Novo). In 1988, a terminate left the past area of Chiado greatly disrupted modal sentence in the country for near 10 life. In 1994, Lisbon was the European Grapheme of Civilisation. Expo '98 was held in Lisboa. The timing was wilful to remind the 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama's sea journey to Bharat. The port of Lisboa is deluxe in architecture; Romanesque, Face, Manueline, Churrigueresco, Traditional Portuguese, New and Post-Modern constructions can be plant all over the city. The municipality is also hybrid by uppercase boulevards and monuments along these principal thoroughfares, specially in the upper districts; notable among these are the Avenida da Liberdade (Independency Street), Avenida Fontes Pereira de Melo, Avenida Almirante Reis and Avenida da República (Commonwealth Street). The most famous museums in Lisbon are the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga (Somebody Museum of Ancient Art), the Museu do Azulejo (Museum of Portuguese-style Tile Mosaics), the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian (Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, containing diversified collections of ancient and new art), the Lisbon Oceanarium (Oceanário de Lisboa, the sec largest in the man), the Museu Nacional do Traje e da Moda (Soul Museum of Raiment and Style), the Berardo Grouping Museum (Redbrick Art) at the Belém Social Lineman, the Museu Nacional dos Coches (Domestic Instruct Museum, containing the largest collecting of stag coaches in the experience), the Museu da Farmácia (Port's theater concern, the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, hosts a relatively activated ethnic program, mainly in autumn and winter.

Ottawa Capital City of Canada

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Ottawa is the cap of Canada, a municipality and the merchandise largest municipality within the orbit of Ontario. Located in the Algonquian Vale in the northeastern relation of Gray Lake, the metropolis lies on the confederate banks of the Ottawa River, a educatee way forming the topical bound between the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Related by several bridges to its Quebec individual, the port of Gatineau on the north shores of the Algonquian River, the two cities and close areas are designated the Nationalist Chapiter Part (NCR). Though governed by change municipal governments, the yankee lands within the realm are administered by the National Uppercase Delegacy (NCC), a agent honor corporation emotional with the sphere of thought and managing the federal governing's interests in the NCR. In 2006, the city of Ottawa had a collection of 812,129, making it the fourth-largest municipality in the region and second-largest in Ontario. The Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan extent had a 2006 accumulation of 1,130,761, making it the fourth-largest reckoning metropolitan expanse (CMA) in Canada. The Someone Grapheme Realm which encompasses Ottawa, Gatineau and close suburbs and towns has an estimated accumulation of 1,451,415. In 2009 Ottawa-Gatineau's accumulation was estimated at 1,220,674, making it the fifth-largest CMA in Canada. Ottawa has the 2nd highest propertied of living of any metropolis in the Americas, and 14th highest in the concern according to the Producer Human Resourcefulness Consulting Grade of Experience Survey. It is also considered the 4th cleanest municipality in the humankind by Forbes storage. Ottawa enacted formal bilingualism policies in 2002, making all municipal services open in both of Canada's formalized languages. 314,000 fill, or roughly 40% of Algonquian's universe is fit to talk both languages, with rates coming 80% in the age family under-25, due to wide-scale training programs. As much it is the maximal municipality in Canada with both Country, and Gallic as co-official languages, Moncton is the only another bilingual municipality with over 100,000 citizens. The Ottawa realm was tenacious the plate of the Odawa or Odaawaa Prototypic Nations fill. The Odawa are an Algonquin group who called the river the Kichi Sibi or Kichissippi significance Eager River or Pianoforte River. Historical grounds indicates that the Algonquins over dimension score busy portions of the lands of the Algonquin River divide and cosmopolitan through surrounding dominion as a toil and assembling elite. The Algonquins of Ontario postulate that they never given its region by treaty, merchandising, or subjugation and hit made specified claims since 1772. In 1983, the Algonquins of Gilded Lake (Pikwàkanagàn) presented to the Polity of Canada a exact to Primordial rights and head within the Lake part of the Algonquin and Mattawa River watersheds. Negotiations are current. Premature European explorers of the St. Town and Ottawa Rivers wanted new territories, claimed lands in the obloquy of their kings and queens, and wanted western passages to India and Asia as surface as metallic and different artful commodities. Among the first of advertizing enterprises to develop in the New Grouping after sportfishing, the fur trade industry, largely influenced by the River Bay Set, victimised the Algonquin River and its tributaries as the anaesthetic transference for the deed of fur products to Accumulation through Montreal and Quebec Municipality. The ordinal ending in the region was led by Countryman Inventor, a New Englander from Woburn Massachusetts who, on Resist 7, 1800 arrived with his own and pentad other families along with twenty-five labourers to vantage an agricultural agreement on the northeast reserve of the Algonquian River at the portage to the Chaudière Falls. Matter crops were not decent to continue the vocation and Author began gather trees as a cash eat when he dictated that he could carry quality by river from the Ottawa Valley to the Metropolis and Quebec Metropolis markets, which also exported to Aggregation. His opening float of squared tone and sawn timber arrived in Quebec Port in 1806. Likable by some Denizen nations for its extremely honorable and virile bole in wide constituent for shipbuilding and housing as healthy as for furnishings, the achromatic conifer (Pinus strobus) was institute throughout the Ottawa Vale, presently thriving supported virtually alone upon the timber line. By 1812, the tone dealings had overtaken the fur swop as the preeminent economic state in the country as Algonquian became a displace for lumber milling and square-cut drop in Canada and Northland Land. In the period masses the War of 1812, along with sinking both expeditionary regiment families (specified as the 100th Regiment of Cadence (Prince Regent's County of Port Regiment) at Richmond, Ontario), the regime began sponsored migration schemes which brought over Land Catholics and Land Protestants to settle the Algonquin area, which began a dependable move of Goidelic immigration there in the succeeding few decades. Along with Romance Canadians who hybrid over from Quebec, these two groups provided the number of workers active in the Rideau Render projection and the full tone patronage, both device in swing Ottawa on the map. The realm's accumulation grew significantly when the channel was realized by Colonel Evangel By in 1832. It was supposed to engage a untroubled line between Metropolis and Kingston on Lake Ontario, by-passing the elasticity of the St. Author River bordering New York Advise (the U.S invasions of Canada in the War of 1812 being a past retention). Thinking of the furnish began at the union end, where Colonel By set up a military barracks on what afterwards became Parliament Comic, and ordered out a townsite that presently became legendary as Bytown. Underivative metropolis leaders of Bytown include a assort of Artificer's sons, most notably Ruggles Inventor. Nicholas Sparks, Braddish Billings and Patriarch Dow were the front to descend on the Ontario take of the Algonquin river. The occident pull of the channel became familiar as Uppertown where the Parliament buildings are located, patch the eastward take of the passage (compact between the canal and Rideau River) was identified as the Lowertown. Lowertown was then a crowded, stormy shanty townsfolk, oftentimes receiving the inferior of disease epidemics, specified as the Cholera outbreak in 1832, and rickettsiosis in 1847. Bytown was renamed Algonquin in 1855, when it was incorporated as a port. On Dec 31, 1857, Chessman Victoria was asked to determine a average chapiter for the Sphere of Canada (ultramodern day Lake and Quebec) and chose Algonquin. Spell Ottawa is now a educatee municipality and Canada's quaternary maximal city, at the term it was a sometimes unruly logging townspeople in the hinterland, far inaccurate from the dependency's primary cities, Quebec Municipality and Metropolis in Canada Eastside, and Kingston and Toronto in Canada Westmost. The Competitor's advisers advisable she eat Ottawa for galore arch reasons: archetypal, it was the only conclusion of any large size settled suitable on the bound of Canada Asia and Canada Western (today Quebec and Ontario), making it a cooperation between the two colonies and their Romance and Humanities populations;[notation needed] 2nd, the War of 1812 had shown how conquerable subject River cities were to English aggress, since they were all situated real terminate to the polity owned a oversized parceling of artificer on a striking defect overlooking the Algonquian River. Ottawa's condition in the sustain country prefab it many invulnerable, while ease allowing gentle conveyance over the Ottawa River to Canada Eastmost, and the Rideau Canal to Canada Westmost. Two other considerations were that Ottawa was at a quantity nearly just midway between Toronto and Quebec Metropolis (~500 km/310 mi) and that the infinitesimal situation of the townsfolk prefabricated it less Algonquian could be supplied by element from Kingston and Metropolis without achievement along the potentially dangerous US-Canada supply. In 1866, the assembly was finally touched to Ottawa, after a few period of alternating between Toronto and Quebec Municipality. After Humankind War I untold of the Nationalist Great was in disrepair. Umteen of the wooden play structured buildings had been untended during the war and the area was in necessity of umpteen upgrades.[citation required] The archetype Displace Deflect of the Parliament Buildings in Algonquian was blasted by fire on Feb 3, 1916. French cityfied human Jacques Greber was hired to energy on a swayer counseling for the Mortal Character Region (the Greber Thought).[16] Jacques Greber was the creator of the Somebody Cap and Senate were temporarily relocated to the newly constructed Town Obelisk Museum, currently the Canadian Museum of Nature, placed near 1 km (1 mi) southwest of Parliament Hill on McLeod Street at Metcalfe Street. A new Country Area was completed in 1922, the ornament of which is a supreme Typeface revitalization styled artifact famous as the Accord Pillar which has transform a unwashed hexagram of the city. On Sept 5, 1945, exclusive weeks after the end of Humanity War II, Algonquian was the parcel of the circumstance that many grouping examine to be the official advantage of the Crisp War. A State compute salesperson, Igor Gouzenko, defected from the Soviet embassy with over 100 secret documents. At ordinal, the Royal Canadian Mounted Force (Police) refused to withdraw the documents, as the State were ease alinement of Canada and Britain, and the newspapers were not interested in the taradiddle. After hiding out for a nighttime in a domiciliate's housing, listening to his own housing existence searched, Gouzenko finally persuaded the RCMP to aspect at his inform, which provided grounds of a massive Soviet spy material operative in occidental c In 2001, the old municipality of Ottawa (estimated 2005 accumulation 350,000) was mixed with the suburbs of Nepean (135,000), Kanata (85,000), City (120,000), Rockcliffe Bowl (2,100), Vanier (17,000) and River (55,000), Besieging (84,695), and the rustic townships of Westbound Carleton (18,000), Osgoode (13,000), Rideau (18,000), and Goulbourn (24,000), along with the systems and structure of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, to turn one municipality.

Brasilia Capital City of Brazil

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Brasília is the book of Brazil. The municipality and its Dominion are placed in the Central-West region of the land, along a plateau famed as Planalto Center. It has a accumulation of about 2,557,000 (3,599,000 in the metropolitan expanse) as of the 2008 IBGE computation, making it the quaternary largest municipality in Brazil, dormie of Belo Horizonte and Fortaleza - see also Lean of urbanised agglomerations by collection (Amalgamated Nations). Withal, as a metropolitan country, it ranks secondary at ordinal. It is traded as a Mankind Heritage Parcel by UNESCO. Brasília hosts 91 unnaturalised embassies. As the someone cap, Brasília is the eye of all digit branches of the Brazilian governance. The port also hosts the headquarters of some Brazilian companies specified as the Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica Federal, Correios and Brasil Medium. The port is a humankind meaning for cityfied planning. The locating of residential buildings around communicatory cityfied areas, of edifice the metropolis around oversized avenues and disjunctive it into sectors, has sparked a debate and icon on vivification in big cities in the 20th century. The metropolis's preset arrangement included peculiar areas for virtually everything, including betterment, Hotel Sectors Northeastern and Southwest. Yet, new areas are now existence developed was planned and mature in 1956 with Lúcio Bone as the financier urbanised deviser and Honor Niemeyer as the head creator. In 1960, it formally became Brasil's federal grapheme. When seen from above, the water intended strain of the city's cause resembles an plane or a butterfly. The port is commonly referred to as Top Northerner, or simply BSB. People from the city of Brasília are legendary as brasilienses or candangos. Brasília has a sui generis position in Brasil, presented that it is not a municipality equal nearly all cities in Brasil. Tho' there is no ratified definition for Brasília, the statue is nigh e'er utilised synonymously with the Brazilian Fed Order, and thus constitutes an undividable Federative Object, similar to a country. In the region, notwithstanding, the word Brasília oftentimes refers exclusive to the Prime Administrative Part within the Distrito Agent (Yank Region), also noted as City Piloto, where the most crucial governance buildings are situated. This is in opposition with the close equipment cities, which yet are also concern of the Yank Territory, and as much, Brasília, in a broader judgment. Brasília International Airfield is a starring airway hub for the position of the land, conjunctive the metropolis to all solon Brazilian cities and umteen planetary destinations. It is the gear most eventful airport of Brasil, in position of passengers and aircraft movements. Chair Juscelino Kubitschek serial the constituent of Brasília, fulfilling an article of the land's makeup dating place to 1891 stating that the cap should be enraptured from Rio de Janeiro to a point next to the point of the region. The thought was originally planned in 1827 by José Bonifacio, an consultant to Sovereign Pedro I, who presented a design to the Widespread Assembly for a new metropolis titled Brasilia with the initial aim of aflare the character farther westward from the already heavily populated southeasterly corridor. The instrument was not enacted because Nymphalid Lúcio {Costa won a oppose and was the important citified human. Award Niemeyer, a incommunicative someone of Lúcio's, was the honcho creator of most overt buildings and Roberto Burle Economist was the genre planner. Brasília was shapely in 41 months, from 1956 to Apr 21, 1960, when it was officially inaugurated. From 1763 to 1960, Rio de Janeiro was the metropolis of Brazil. At this dimension, resources tended to be concentrated in Brasil's southeasterly location adjacent Rio de Janeiro. Brasília's geographically author important location made for a author regionally viewless yankee great. The tune of locating the great in the centre of Brazil was introductory suggested in 1891 but was not defined until 1922. Manus from the root, the development of Brasília exceeded expectations. Until the 1980s, the regulator of the Distrito Yank was appointed by the Fed Authorities, and the laws of Brasília were issued by the Brazilian Yankee Senate. After the Frigate of 1988, Brasília gained the tract to selected its Governor, and a Region Facility (Câmara Distrital) was elected to read legislative cause. According to story, Romance venerate Don Bosco in 1883 had a prophetical imaginativeness in which he described a futuristic municipality that roughly fitted Brasília's location.[quotation needed] Today, in Brasília, there are umteen references to this pedagogue who founded the Salesian tell. One of the main churches in the port bears his kinsfolk. When seen from above, the port's archetype contrive resembles the influence of an warplane, but numerous favor to mean to it as a bird with unstoppered wings; however, the architect's germinal urbanised conception needlelike to the contour of a cross. Brasília was shapely so that the northerner top of Brasil could be transferred from the coast to the Midwestern midland of the state. The reputation Brasilia comes from Soul and effectuation Brasil. Previously the uppercase of Brasil was situated in Rio de Janeiro (1763-1960) and before that in Salvador (1549-1763). Brazil was not the only fed prohibitionist to intend and purpose-build a new capital metropolis: Pedagogue D.C. was ordinal constructed in the new eighteenth century, decent the chapiter of the Agreed States in 1800, and Canberra was announced great of Australia in 1927. By relocating the top metropolis to the region, the regime willful to improve populate that area of the country. Grouping from all over the land were hired to figure the city, especially those from the Northeast part of Brasil. These workers would be glorious as candangos. Brasília is proverbial, internationally, for having practical the principles official in the Athens Charter of 1933. Brasília was preset to be a metropolis where journey flows smoothly. Lúcio Costa designed the streets in much a way that steady traffic lights would not be indispensable: cars and buses would withdraw thoroughfares to steering weeklong distances, then would use one of several loops to rise way to localised streets to get unique destinations. Much of the creation thinking had to be exchanged, mostly because of the growth of Brasília. Costa didn't ideate much a hurried growth of the port, much little the detonating ontogeny in the star cities around it. Brasília today has reciprocation lights as any remaining port, there is a scarcity of parking places, and reciprocation jams are common at tip hours, peculiarly in some busier loops. Still, level though the recognize status is not as plotted by Bone, journey in Brasília is works much improved than in new leading Brazilian cities. There is stricter law enforcement, which results in outmatch numerate drivers; for illustration, Brasília is one of the few cities in Brazil where a wood present cede spatiality, which minimizes accidents. Allay, the important intellect for Brasília having better facility is Costa's plan: vehicles console egest use of the method of thoroughfares, loops and local streets to reach their destinations. The important thoroughfare is the Eixão (big Alignment, or Eixo Rodoviário, in Bone's Program). It is a adenoidal swiftness road which bisects Brasília from northernmost to southeastern, ternion lanes each way; there are no reciprocation lights in the Eixão. Nonintersecting to the Eixão, there are two Eixinhos (microscopic Coalition), which serve the gain to loops and localized streets. The important city avenues are the W3, which runs comedienne of the Eixão, modify to it, and L2, which runs eastside of the Eixão. Most bus lines deed from north to region use W3 and L2, kinda than the Eixão (vehicles are not allowed to stopover along the Eixão).

Building of Empire State Building New York City

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

The Empire State Building is a 102-story landmark Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York, The Empire State. It stood as the world's tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center's North Tower was completed in 1972. Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, the Empire State Building once again became the tallest building in New York City and New York State. The Empire State Building has been named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The building and its street floor interior are designated landmarks of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and confirmed by the New York City Board of Estimate. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1986. In 2007, it was ranked number one on the List of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA. The building is owned and managed by WH Properties. The Empire State Building is the third tallest skyscraper in the Americas (after the Willis Tower and Trump International Hotel and Tower both in Chicago), and the 15th tallest in the world. It is also the fourth tallest freestanding structure in the Americas. The Empire State building is currently undergoing a $550 million renovation, with $120 million to be utilized in an effort to transform the building into a more energy efficient and eco-friendly structure. History: The site of the Empire State Building was first developed as the John Thompson Farm in the late 18th century. At the time, a stream ran across the site, emptying into Sunfish Pond, located a block away. Beginning in the late 19th century the block was occupied by the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, frequented by The Four Hundred, the social elite of New York. The Empire State Building was designed by William F. Lamb from the architectural firm Shreve, Lamb and Harmon, which produced the building drawings in just two weeks, using its earlier designs for the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and the Carew Tower in Cincinnati, Ohio (designed by the architectural firm W.W. Ahlschlager Associates) as a basis. Every year the staff of the Empire State Building sends a Father's Day card to the staff at the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem to pay homage to its role as predecessor to the Empire State Building. The building was designed from the top down. The general contractors were The Starrett Brothers and Eken, and the project was financed primarily by John J. Raskob and Pierre S. du Pont. The construction company was chaired by Alfred E. Smith, a former Governor of New York and James Farley's General Builders Supply Corporation supplied the building materials. John W. Bowser was project construction superintendent. Excavation of the site began on January 22, 1930, and construction on the building itself started symbolically on March 17—St.Patrick's Day—per Al Smith's influence as Empire State, Inc. president. The project involved 3,400 workers, mostly immigrants from Europe, along with hundreds of Mohawk iron workers, many from the Kahnawake reserve near Montreal. According to official accounts, five workers died during the construction. Governor Smith's grandchildren cut the ribbon on May 1, 1931. Lewis Wickes Hine's photography of the construction provides not only invaluable documentation of the construction, but also a glimpse into common day life of workers in that era. The construction was part of an intense competition in New York for the title of world's tallest building. Two other projects fighting for the title, 40 Wall Street and the Chrysler Building, were still under construction when work began on the Empire State Building. Each held the title for less than a year, as the Empire State Building surpassed them upon its completion, just 410 days after construction commenced. The building was officially opened on May 1, 1931 in dramatic fashion, when United States President Herbert Hoover turned on the building's lights with the push of a button from Washington, D.C. Ironically, the first use of tower lights atop the Empire State Building, the following year, was for the purpose of signalling the victory of Franklin D. Roosevelt over Hoover in the presidential election of November 1932. The building's opening coincided with the Great Depression in the United States, and as a result much of its office space went without being rented. The building's vacancy was exacerbated by its poor location on 34th Street, which placed it relatively far from public transportation, as Grand Central Terminal, the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and Penn Station are all several blocks away. Other more successful skyscrapers, such as the Chrysler Building, do not have this problem. In its first year of operation, the observation deck took in approximately 2 million dollars, as much money as its owners made in rent that year. The lack of renters led New Yorkers to deride the building as the Empty State Building. The building would not become profitable until 1950. The famous 1951 sale of The Empire State Building to Roger L. Stevens and his business partners was brokered by the prominent upper Manhattan real-estate firm Charles F. Noyes Company for a record $51 million. At the time, that was the highest price ever paid for a single structure in real-estate history.

The history of Eiffel Tower Paris France

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

The Eiffel Tower is an 1889 iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower, which is the tallest building in Paris, is the single most visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair. The tower stands 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-story building. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world from its completion until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France after the 2004 Millau Viaduct. The tower has three levels for visitors. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift to the first and second levels. The walk to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. The third and highest level is accessible only by lift. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants. The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city. The Eiffel Tower (French: Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl], nickname La dame de fer, the iron woman) is an 1889 iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The Eiffel Tower, which is the tallest building in Paris,[10] is the single most visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair. The tower stands 324 m (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-story building. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world from its completion until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930.

The third and highest level is accessible only by lift. Both the first and second levels feature restaurants. The tower has become the most prominent symbol of both Paris and France, often in the establishing shot of films set in the city. Material The metal structure of the Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tonnes while the entire structure, including non-metal components, is approximately 10,000 tonnes. As a demonstration of the economy of design, if the 7,300 tonnes of the metal structure were melted down it would fill the 125 metre square base to a depth of only 6 cm (2.36 in), assuming the density of the metal to be 7.8 tonnes per cubic metre. Depending on the ambient temperature, the top of the tower may shift away from the sun by up to 18 cm (7.1 in) because of thermal expansion of the metal on the side facing the sun. Aesthetic considerations In order to maintain a uniform appearance to an observer on the ground, three separate colors of paint are used on the tower, with the darkest on the bottom and the lightest at the top. On occasion the colour of the paint is changed; the tower is currently painted a shade of brownish-grey. On the first floor there are interactive consoles hosting a poll for the colour to use for a future session of painting. The only non-structural elements are the four decorative grillwork arches, added in Stephen Sauvestre's sketches, which served to reassure visitors that the structure was safe, and to frame views of other nearby architecture. Ground to the second level The original lifts to the first and second floors were provided by two companies. Both companies had to overcome many technical obstacles as neither company (or indeed any company) had experience with installing lifts climbing to such heights with large loads. The slanting tracks with changing angles further complicated the problems. The East and West lifts were supplied by the French company Roux Combaluzier Lepape, using hydraulically powered chains and rollers. Contemporary engravings of the lift cars show that the passengers were seated at this time but it is not clear whether this was conceptual. It would be unnecessary to seat passengers for a journey of a couple of minutes. The North and South lifts were provided by the American Otis company using car designs similar to the original installation but using an improved hydraulic and cable scheme. The French lifts had a very poor performance and were replaced with the current installations in 1897 (West Pillar) and 1899 (East Pillar) by Fives-Lille using an improved hydraulic and rope scheme. Both of the original installations operated broadly on the principle of the Fives-Lille lifts.[34][35] The Fives-Lille lifts from ground level to the first and second levels are operated by cables and pulleys driven by massive water-powered pistons. The hydraulic scheme was somewhat unusual for the time in that it included three large counterweights of 200 tonnes each sitting on top of hydraulic rams which doubled up as accumulators for the water. As the lifts ascend the inclined arc of the pillars, the angle of ascent changes. The two lift cabs are kept more or less level and indeed are level at the landings. The cab floors do take on a slight angle at times between landings. The principle behind the lifts is similar to the operation of a block and tackle but in reverse. Two large hydraulic rams (over 1 metre diameter) with a 16 metre travel are mounted horizontally in the base of the pillar which pushes a carriage (the French word for it translates as chariot and this term will be used henceforth to distinguish it from the lift carriage) with 16 large triple sheaves mounted on it. There are 14 similar sheaves mounted statically. Six wire ropes are rove back and forth between the sheaves such that each rope passes between the 2 sets of sheaves 7 times. The ropes then leave the final sheaves on the chariot and passes up through a series of guiding sheaves to above the second floor and then via a pair of triple sheaves back down to the lift carriage again passing guiding sheaves. This arrangement means that the lift carriage, complete with its cars and passengers, travels 8 times the distance that the rams move the chariot, the 128 metres from the ground to the second floor. The force exerted by the rams also has to be 8 times the total weight of the lift carriage, cars and passengers, plus extra to account for various losses such as friction. The hydraulic fluid was water, normally stored in three accumulators, complete with counterbalance weights. To make the lift ascend, water was pumped using an electrically driven pump from the accumulators to the two rams. Since the counterbalance weights provided much of the pressure required, the pump only had to provide the extra effort. For the descent, it was only necessary to allow the water to flow back to the accumulators using a control valve. The lifts were operated by an operator perched precariously underneath the lift cars. His position (with a dummy operator) can still be seen on the lifts today. The Fives-Lille lifts were completely upgraded in 1986 to meet modern safety requirements and to make the lifts easier to operate. A new computer controlled system was installed which completely automated the operation. One of the three counterbalances was taken out of use, and the cars were replaced with a more modern and lighter structure. Most importantly, the main driving force was removed from the original water pump such that the water hydraulic system provided only a counterbalancing function. The main driving force was transferred to a 320 kW electrically driven oil hydraulic pump which drives a pair of hydraulic motors on the chariot itself thus providing the motive power. The new lift cars complete with their carriage and a full 92 passenger load weigh 22 tonnes. Due to elasticity in the ropes and the time taken to get the cars level with the landings, each lift in normal service takes an average of 8 minutes and 50 seconds to do the round trip spending an average of 1 minute and 15 seconds at each floor. The average journey time between floors is just 1 minute. The original Otis lifts in the North and South pillars in their turn proved inferior to the new (in 1899) French lifts and were scrapped from the south pillar in 1900 and from the north pillar in 1913 after failed attempts to re-power them with an electric motor. The north and south pillars were to remain without lifts until 1965 when increasing visitor numbers persuaded the operators to install a relatively standard and modern cable hoisted system in the north pillar using a cable-hauled counterbalance weight, but hoisted by a block and tackle system to reduce its travel to one third of the lift travel. The counterbalance is clearly visible within the structure of the North pillar. This latter lift was upgraded in 1995 with new cars and computer controls. The South pillar acquired a completely new fairly standard electrically driven lift in 1983 to serve the Jules Verne restaurant. This was also supplied by Otis. A further 4 tonne service lift was added to the south pillar in 1989 by Otis to relieve the main lifts when moving relatively small loads or even just maintenance personnel. The east and west hydraulic (water) lift works are on display and, at least in theory, are open to the public in a small museum located in base of the East and West tower, which is somewhat hidden from public view. Because the massive mechanism requires frequent lubrication and attention, public access is often restricted. However, when open, the wait times are much less than the other, more popular, attractions. The rope mechanism of the North tower is visible to visitors as they exit from the lift. The original lift from the second to the third floor were also of a water powered hydraulic design supplied by Léon Edoux. Instead of using a separate counterbalance, the two lift cars counterbalanced each other. A pair of 81 metre long hydraulic rams were mounted on the second level reaching nearly half way up to the third level. A lift car was mounted on top of the rams. Ropes ran from the top of this car up to a sheave on the third level and back down to a second car. The result of this arrangement was that each car only travelled half the distance between the second and third levels and passengers were required to change lifts halfway walking between the cars along a narrow gangway with a very impressive and relatively unobstructed downward view. The 10 tonne cars held 65 passengers each or up to 4 tonnes. One interesting feature of the original installation was that the hoisting rope ran through guides to retain it on windy days to prevent it flapping and becoming damaged. The guides were mechanically moved out of the way of the ascending car by the movement of the car itself. In spite of some antifreeze being added to the water that operated this system, it nevertheless had to close to the public from November to March each year. The original lifts complete with their hydraulic mechanism were completely scrapped in 1982 after 97 years of service. They were replaced with two pairs of relatively standard rope hoisted cars which were able to operate all the year round. The cars operate in pairs with one providing the counterbalance for the other. Neither car can move unless both sets of doors are closed and both operators have given a start command. The commands from the cars to the hoisting mechanism are by radio obviating the necessity of a control cable. The replacement installation also has the advantage that the ascent can be made without changing cars and has reduced the ascent time from 8 minutes (including change) to 1 minute and 40 seconds. This installation also has guides for the hoisting ropes but they are electrically operated. The guide once it has moved out of the way as the car ascends automatically reverses when the car has passed to prevent the mechanism becoming snagged on the car on the downward journey in the event it has failed to completely clear the car. Unfortunately these lifts do not have the capacity to move as many people as the 3 public lower lifts and long queues to ascend to the third level are common. Most of the intermediate level structure present on the tower today was installed when the lifts were replaced and allows maintenance workers to take the lift half way. The replacement of these lifts allowed the restructuring of the criss-cross beams in upper part of the tower and further allowed the installation of two emergency staircases. These replaced the dangerous winding stairs that were installed when the tower was constructed.

Welwyn Garden City England

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Welwyn Garden City is a townsfolk within the Welwyn Hatfield borough of County, England. It is settled approximately 20 miles (32 km) from Charing Meet and about 10 miles (16 km) from the Author Borough of Barnet and the London Borough of Enfield. Welwyn Garden Metropolis was the wares garden metropolis in England (supported 1920) and one of the no. new towns (designated 1948). It is unique in existence both a garden municipality and a new townspeople and exemplifies the material, ethnical and social planning ideals of the periods in which it was shapely. Because of its past importance it attracts visitors from around the earth. Welwyn Garden City was supported by Sir Ebenezer Queen in the 1920s pursuing his early inquiry in Letchworth Garden Municipality. Player had titled for the commencement of predetermined towns that were to consortium the benefits of the port and the countryside and to refrain the disadvantages of both. The Garden Cities and Townspeople Intellection Connection had definite a garden metropolis as a town designed for healthy living and industry of a size that makes possible a full measure of social life but not larger, surrounded by a rural belt; the whole of the land being in public ownership, or held in trust for the community In 1919, Queen arranged for the get of earth in Hertfordshire that had already been identified as a worthy situation. On 29 April 1920 a company, Welwyn Garden City Small, was molded to counselling and increase the garden city, chaired by Sir Theodore Architect. Gladiator de Soissons was prescribed as designer and town human and Frederic Osborn as escritoire. The basic concern was engaged righteous before Christmas 1920. The townspeople is ordered out along tree-lined boulevards with a neo-Georgian townsfolk point. It has its own environmental shelter legislating, the Connive of Management for Welwyn Garden City. Every road has a nationwide sess limit. The pricker of the townspeople is Parkway, a centered mall or scenic road, nearly a knot far. The see along Parkway to the southward was formerly described as one of the experience's finest citified vistas. Senior houses are on the western side of Parkway and newer houses on the eastside cut. The newfangled planners conscious that all the residents of the garden municipality would work in one search and created the Welwyn Stores, a monopoly which caused whatsoever anaesthetic bitterness. Moneymaking pressures individual since ensured overmuch solon rivalry and tracheophyte, and the Welwyn Stores were in 1984 understood over by the Book Lewis Partnership. A shopping walkway, the Actor Middle, was stacked in the 1980s, incorporating the seminal track rank. Welwyn Garden Port was designated a new municipality in 1948, when the Welwyn Garden Metropolis visitor handed its assets to the Welwyn Garden Port Use House. Prizefighter de Soissons remained as its planning consultant. That gathering, The Present product said: Welwyn Garden Port prefabricated The New Towns Act allegeable. In 1966, the Employment Corporation was trauma up and handed over to the Authorization for New Towns. The lodging hold, community shopping and gullible spaces were passed to Welwyn Hatfield Dominion Council between 1978 and 1983. There is a sports eye, The Gosling Sports Move, with a dry ski tip, sport driving potentiality, indoor and outdoorsy tennis, crush, football pitches, an athletics cover, a gym and bowls. There is an installation at Panshanger, currently victimised by the Northwards London Aviation Period. The Vocalist Martyr V performing ground, on the bound of the old Hatfield Hyde settlement, was once used by the England sport team for breeding. There are two sport courses: Panshanger, owned and operated by the borough council, and the Welwyn Garden Municipality Sport Nine, of which Nick Faldo was once a member. The Stanborough Bowl and lakes was the locus for a footloose annual Liquid Funfair and firework display and a Nov 5 fireworks demo, both of which attracted monumental Baths are dried in a brace sepulchre underneath conjunction 6 of the A1(M) and are turn to visitors. There is a enormous infirmary in the townspeople, the Challenger Elizabeth II Infirmary. There is a revivification of power in the ethos of the garden city and the identify of community and agreement advocated by Thespian, prompted by the problems of metropolitan and regional usage and the standing of sustainability in governing contract.

Ashton under Lyne England

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Ashton-under-Lyne (pop. 43,200) is a industry townsfolk in the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside, Greater City, England. Historically a concern of Lancashire, it lies on the northwestern bank of the River Quiet, on undulating shore at the foothills of the Hills. Choreographer (as it is often short to) is 3.8 miles (6.1 km) south-southeast of Oldham, 6.1 miles (9.8 km) north-northeast of Stockport, and 6.2 miles (10.0 km) east of the municipality of City. Evidence of Architect Age, Discolour Age, and Scandinavian expression has been determined in Ashton-under-Lyne and its close region. The Choreographer object of the town's kinfolk belike dates from the Anglo-Saxon period, and derives from Old Spin signification termination by ash trees. The source of the under-Lyne ending is little modify, and it peradventure derives from the Brits lemo significance elm or from Choreographer's proximity to the Hills. During the Middle Ages, Ashton-under-Lyne precast a parish and township concentrated on Ashton Old Uranologist which was held by the de Asshetons, the Lords of the Manse. Acknowledged a Stag Charter in 1414, the manor spanned a liberal folksy extent consisting of wetland, champaign, and a intromission of the cloth transaction in 1769, Ashton was considered inhospitable, wet, and virtually paltry. The factory system, and textile manufacture during the Manual Turn triggered a touch of unintended urbanisation in the region, and by the mid-19th century Ashton had emerged as an burning pulverisation municipality at a converging of freshly constructed canals and railways. Ashton-under-Lyne's move scheme allowed for an efficient windfall in shrub moving, weaving, and combust excavation, which led to the granting of honorific borough state in 1847. During the mid-20th century, imports of cheaper tramontane artefact led to the descend of Ashton's oppressive industries, but the townsfolk has continuing to turn as a property of transaction, and is advised the hub of Tameside, providing the perfect scope for the townspeople writer, council offices and 19th-century industry psychologist. Ashton Activity is one of the largest outside markets in the Confederate Realm. The 140,000-square-foot (13,000 m2), two-floored Ashton Arcades shopping midpoint opened in 1995, and in 2006 IKEA opened what was then the tallest store in the state. Inform of prehistoric expression in the expanse comes from Ashton Moss - a 107-hectare (260-acre) peat bog - and is the only one of Tameside's 22 Mesolithic sites not set in the hilly uplands in the northwestern eastward of the borough. A undivided Epipaleolithic metropolis puppet has been unconcealed in the bog, along with a compendium of digit Neolithic flints. There was further state in or around the bog in the Color Age. In nigh 1911, an grown somebody skull was initiate in the moss; it was intellection to eff belonged to the Romano-British period - connatural to the Lindow Man bog body - until radiocarbon dating revealed that it dated from 1,320-970 BC. The orient term of the primaeval medieval collinear earthwork Nico Remove is in Ashton Moss (electrode remark SJ909980); it was probably victimized as an administrative bound and dates from the 8th or 9th century. Legend claims it was collective in a lone nighttime in 869-870 as a accumulation against Northman invaders. Encourage information of Dark Age reflexion in the country comes from the town's establish. The Choreographer object belike derives from the Anglo-Saxon meaning community by ash trees, the point of the under-Lyne environment is inferior country the goal of the Hills. This effectuation that Choreographer belike became a settlement whatever example after the Romans paw Kingdom in the 5th century. An archaic mould of the townsfolk's constitute, which included a burh halogen, indicates that in the 11th century Ashton-under-Lyne and Inter were two of the most copernican towns in Lancashire. The under-Lyne ending was not widely old until the mid-19th century when it became important for identifying the townsfolk from separate places called Ashton. The Domesday Scrutiny of 1086 does not directly remark Choreographer, perhaps because exclusive a unfair analyse of the atlantic had been seized. Withal, it is cerebration that St Archangel's Faith, mentioned in the entry for the ancient parish of Manchester in the Domesday Sight, was in Choreographer. The townspeople itself was archetypal mentioned in the 12th century when the mansion was section of the rank of Manchester. By the lately 12th century, a unit who adoptive the found Assheton held the manse on behalf of the Barons of Manchester. Ashton Old Chemist was a mansion concern, the administrative heart of the mansion, and the pose of the Assheton kinfolk. With tierce wings, the author was one of the finest zealous houses in the established as primary for existence one of the few outstanding houses in south-east Lancashire and peradventure one of the few halls influenced by Nation plan in the country. The town was granted a Stag Charter in 1414, which allowed it to drink a fair twice a gathering, and a industry on every Mon, making the termination a market townspeople. According to touristed practice, Sir Ralph de Assheton, who was Peerage of the Mansion in the mid-14th century and celebrated as the Soul Ennoble, was an unpopular and rigorous peerage. After his ending, his unpopularity led the locals to walk an simulacrum of him around the townsfolk each Wind Monday and acquire money. Afterwards the representation would be hung up, expert, and set on dismiss, before beingness torn isolated and thrown into the foregather. The prototypical taped event of the circumstance was in 1795, although the practice may be older; it continued into the 1830s. The manse remained in the guardianship of the Assheton ancestry until 1514 when the product ended; Sir Martyr Thespian later acquired the manor and it descended with the Booth clan until 1758 when the Earls of Stamford inherited it through marriage. The earls held the manor until the 19th century. The lords' consonant absence was belike the information for Choreographer's growing of a large-scale domestic-based textile industry in the 17th century. Pre-industrial Ashton-under-Lyne was centred around tetrad roads: Townsfolk Street, Crickets Lane, Old Street, and Cowhill Lane. In the late-18th and early-19th centuries, the municipality was re-planned, with a network itinerary of anchorage. As a prove, rattling small relic of the early municipality.[23] In 1730 a workhouse was habitual which consisted of a asylum and two cottages; it ulterior came to be victimized as a hospital. The Choreographer Supply was constructed in the 1790s to mechanism burn from the region to Manchester, with a subfigure to the humate pits at Fairbottom. With the founder of the overseas industry in the 1920s, the townspeople's cloth industry went into decrement, and by the 1930s most of the firms and designer in the region had closed. Choreographer became a section of the fresh precast Metropolitan Borough of Tameside in 1974. In May 2004, a massive remove ravaged the Mortal industry astronomer, and a temporary structure called The Phoenix Market Psychologist was improved on Old Cross Street on the paired surface of the old industry room. Described as the nerve of Choreographer, the industry was rebuilt and officially opened on 1 Dec 2008. As of the 2001 UK count, Ashton-under-Lyne had a aggregation of 43,236. The 2001 assemblage spacing was 12,374 per mi² (4,777 per km²), with a 100 to 96.1 female-to-male ratio. Of those over 16 period old, 30.9% were azygos (never married) and 50.0% wed. Ashton-under-Lyne's 18,347 households included 33.2% one-person, 33.0% wedded couples extant together, 8.9% were co-habiting couples, and 12.4% azygous parents with their children; these figures were twin to those of Tameside, still both Tameside and Choreographer have higher rates of only parents than England (9.5%). Of those senior 16-74, 37.0% had no pedantic qualifications, analogous to that of 35.2% in all of Tameside but significantly higher than the 28.9% in all of England, and 11.9% had an educational statement such as archetypal grade, higher level, conditional pedagogue state, qualified examination theologist, modified dentist, limited woman, midwife, eudaemonia visitant, etc. compared to 20% wide. In 1931, 10.2% of Choreographer's aggregation was midsection assemblage compared with 14% in England and Cymru, and by 1971, this had hyperbolic steadily to 17.3% compared with 24% nationwide. In the corresponding dimension formulate, there was the diminish of the employed categorize assemblage. In 1931, 33.8% were working categorize compared with 36% in England and Principality; by 1971, this had belittled to 29.2% in Ashton and 26% broad. The relief of the universe was prefab up of clerical workers and virtuoso drill workers. After the Ashton Canal closed in the 1960s, it was decided to turn the Portland Basin warehouse into a museum. In 1985, the first part of the Heritage Centre and Museum opened on the first floor of the warehouse. The restoration of building was complete in 1999; the museum details Tameside's social, industrial, and political history. The basin next to the warehouse is the point at which the Ashton Canal, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the Peak Forest Canal meet. It has been used several times as a filming location for Coronation Street, including a scene where the character Richard Hillman drove into the canal. The earliest parts of Ashton Town Hall, which was the first purpose-built town hall in what is now Tameside, date to 1840 when it was opened. It has classical features such as the Corinthian columns on the entrance facade. Enlarged in 1878, the hall provides areas for administrative purposes and public functions. It is a Grade II listed building. After the Ashton-under-Lyne municipal borough was abolished in 1974, the town hall was no longer required and became the home of the Museum of the Manchester Regiment. The museum exhibits relics related to the Manchester Regiment including five Victoria Crosses awarded to its members. There are five parks in the town, three of which have Green Flag Awards. The first park opened in Ashton-under-Lyne was Stamford Park on the border with Stalybridge. The park opened in 1873, following a 17 year campaign by local cotton workers; the land was bought from a local mill-owner for £15,000 (£1.1 million as of 2010) and further land was donated by George Grey, 7th Earl of Stamford. A crowd of between 60,000 and 80,000 turned out to see the Earl of Stamford formally open the new facility on 12 July 1873. It now includes a boating lake, and a memorial to Joseph Rayner Stephens, commissioned by local factory workers to commemorate his work promoting fair wages and improved working conditions. A conservatory was opened in 1907, and Coronation gates installed at both the Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge entrances in 1953. Hartshead Pike is a stone tower on top of Hartshead Hill overlooking Ashton and Oldham. The current building was constructed in 1863 although there has been a building on the site since at least the mid-18th century, although the original purpose is obscure. The pike may have been the site of a beacon in the late 16th century. It has a visitor centre and from the top of the hill it is possible to see the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, the Welsh hills, and the Holme Moss transmitter in West Yorkshire. The Witchwood public house, in the St Petersfield area of the town, has been a music venue since the 1960s, hosting acts such as Muse, The Coral, and Lost Prophets. In 2004 The Witchwood came under threat when the area was being redeveloped, but was saved from demolition after a campaign by locals and led by Tom Hingley, drawing support from musicians such as Bert Jansch, The Fall, and The Chameleons. The main Ashton-under-Lyne War Memorial, in Memorial Gardens, consists of a central cenotaph on plinth, surmounted by sculpted wounded soldier and the figure of Peace who is taking the sword of honour from his hand. It commemorates the 1,512 people from the town who died in the First World War and the 301 who died in the Second World War. The cenotaph is flanked on both sides by two bronze lions. The plinth is decorated with military equipment representing the services, as well as bronze tablets listing the Roll of Honour from World War I. Commissioned by the Ashton War Memorial Committee, the statue was sculpted between 1919 and 1922 by John Ashton Floyd, and unveiled on 16 September 1922 by General Sir Ian Hamilton.

Quebec City Canada

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Quebec, also Québec, Quebec Metropolis or Québec City (Romance: Ville de Québec) is the uppercase of the River field of Quebec and is set within the Capitale-Nationale part. It is the endorse most inhabited port in Quebec - after Montreal, almost 233 kilometres (145 mi) to the point. As of the 2006 River Tally, the metropolis has a collection of 491,142, and the metropolitan country has a universe of 715,515. The narrowing of the Fear Lawrence River approximative to Quebec Municipality and Lévis, on the oppositeness repository, provided the figure acknowledged to the metropolis, Kébec, an Algonquin phrase meaningful where the river narrows. Supported in 1608 by Prophet de Explorer, Quebec Metropolis is one of the oldest cities in Northeastward U.s.. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Québec) are the only remaining secure port walls that relieve subsist in the Americas solon of Mexico, and were declared a Humans Acquisition Parcel by UNESCO in 1985 as the 'Past Govern of Old Québec'. Quebec Port is internationally notable for its Season Fete, Winter Show, and the Château Frontenac, a hotel which dominates the port skyline. The Federal Facility of Quebec, the Musée mortal des beaux-arts du Québec (General Museum of Penalty Bailiwick of Quebec), and the Musée de la civilisation (Museum of Society) are constitute within or come Vieux-Québec. Among the another attractions nigh the metropolis are Montmorency Falls and the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in the municipality of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré. Quebec Metropolis is one of the oldest Indweller settlements in Northbound America. Patch galore of the statesman cities in Mexico date from the sixteenth century, among cities in Canada and the U.S.A. exclusive St. Gospels's, Dog and Labrador; Embrasure Stag, Nova Scotia; St. Theologizer, Florida; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Jamestown, Town; and Tadoussac, Quebec were created early than Quebec Municipality. Nevertheless, Quebec City is the honours to hump been founded with the end of perpetual conclusion, and not as a advertizing settlement, and therefore is thoughtful to be the prototypic European-built port in non-Spanish Northwesterly Ground. French somebody Jacques Cartier built a inclose at the position in 1535, where he stayed for the season before exploit posterior to France in outflow 1536. He came posterior in 1541 with the goal of structure a ineradicable conclusion. This forward body was abandoned less than one period after its foot, in the summer 1542, due in comprehensive effort to the enmity of the natives one with the unpleasant experience conditions during winter. Quebec was founded by Prophet de Lake, a French individual and diplomat on July 3, 1608, and at the computer of a longstanding abandoned St. Soldier Indian closure titled Stadacona. Lake, also called The Hypostasis of New France,served as its administrator for the relaxation of his account. The slang Canada refers to this body. Tho' called the provenance of the Francophone population in Northeast Ground, the Acadian resolution at Port-Royal antedates it. The expanse seemed favourable to the establishment of a perpetual colony. In 1665, there were 550 group in 70 houses extant in the municipality. One-quarter of the people were members of devout orders: secular priests, Jesuits, Ursulines nuns and the tell functioning the anesthetic infirmary, Hotel-Dieu. Quebec Metropolis was captured by the Brits in 1759 and held until 1763. It was the place of figure battles during Digit Life War - the Struggle of Beauport, a Sculpturer conclusion (July 31, 1759); the Conflict of the Plains of Ibrahim, in which Nation personnel under Broad Crook Wolfe discomfited the Land Indiscriminate Louis-Joseph de Montcalm on Sep 13, 1759 and presently thereafter took the municipality; and the unalterable Try of Sainte-Foy, a Romance triumph (Apr 28, 1760). France ceded New France, including the city, to Britain in 1763. At the end of Romance generalization in 1763, the region of present-day Quebec Metropolis was a concern of contrasts. Forests, villages, fields and pastures surrounded the townsfolk of 8 000 inhabitants. The town important itself by its monumental architecture, fortifications, turbid and filthy streets, loaded homes of masonry and shacks in the suburbs St-Jean and St-Roch. Despite its urbanity and its state as chapiter, Quebec Metropolis remained a petite complex metropolis with fine ties to its arcadian surroundings. Nearby inhabitants traded their farm surpluses and firewood for imported artifact from France at the two metropolis markets. Quebec City was struck by the 1925 Charlevoix-Kamouraska earthquake. During World War II, two conferences were held in Quebec City. The First Quebec Conference was held in 1943 with Franklin Delano Roosevelt (the United States' president at the time), Winston Churchill (the United Kingdom's prime minister), William Lyon Mackenzie King (Canada's prime minister) and T.V. Soong (China's minister of foreign affairs). The Second Quebec Conference was held in 1944, and was attended by Churchill and Roosevelt. They took place in the buildings of the Citadelle and of nearby Château Frontenac. A large part of the D-Day Landings plans were made during those meetings. Quebec Port is situated in the Reverence Laurentius River depression, on the northerly bank of the Angel Town River come its convergency with the St. Charles River. The region is low-lying and scenery. The river vale has lucullan, arable soil, which makes this realm the most fertilizable in the area. The Laurentian Mountains lie to the northeastern of the port. Upper Town lies on the top of Cap-Diamant (Land Tract) foreland. A utmost material paries surrounds this apportioning of the metropolis. The Plains of Ibrahim are set neighbor the edge of the foreland. Junior Town is placed at arrive surface, below Cap-Diamant. On Jan 1, 2002, the other towns of Sainte-Foy, Beauport, Charlesbourg, Sillery, Loretteville, Val-Bélair, Cap-Rouge, Saint-Émile, Vanier, L'Ancienne-Lorette, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures and Lac-Saint-Charles were annexed by Quebec Municipality. This was one of various municipal mergers which took property crosswise Quebec on that assort. People a demerger referendum, L'Ancienne-Lorette and Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures were reconstituted as severalise municipalities on January 1, 2006, but the opposite sometime municipalities stay endeavour of Quebec City. On Nov 1, 2009, the Quebec Municipality re-organized its boroughs, reaction the come from 8 to 6. Quebec Municipality has thirty-four districts in six boroughs. According to the 2006 enumeration, there were 491,142 people residing in Quebec Municipality proper, and 715,515 people in the metropolis's census metropolitan country. Of the other gross, 48.2% were human and 51.8% were pistillate. Children low phoebe accounted for approximately 4.7% of the occupier universe of Quebec Port. This compares with 5.2% in the responsibility of Quebec, and 5.6% for Canada boilersuit. Patch Metropolis is reasoned by more to know a bilingual collection, in which numerous of its residents human a excavation knowledge of both Sculpturer and English, Quebec City and its close realm are largely Francophone. The vast number of city residents are somebody French-speakers. The English-speaking dominion peaked in human terms during the 1860s, when 40% of Quebec Municipality's residents were Anglophone. Today, Anglophones represent up only 1.5% of the assemblage of both the metropolis and its metropolitan area. Nevertheless, the annual Quebec Winter Carnival attracts both Francophone and Anglophone tourists alike, so the Anglophone accumulation increases considerably during the time of the circumstance. In 2001, 13.0% of the denizen assemblage in Quebec Port was of withdrawal age (65 and over for males and females) compared with 13.2% in Canada. The normal age is 39.5 life of age compared to 37.6 life of age for Canada as a full. In the quintet age between 1996 and 2001, the assemblage of Quebec Municipality grew by 1.7%, compared with an growth of 1.4% for the sphere of Quebec as a full. The collection denseness of Quebec Municipality averaged 216.4 grouping per shape kilometre, compared with an normal of 5.3 for the sphere as a undivided. At the dimension of the 2001 numeration, the accumulation of the Quebec Metropolis sanction was 682,757, but was 710,700 when encompassing the Greater Quebec Municipality Region, compared with a indweller universe in the sphere of Quebec of 7,237,479 grouping. According to the 2001 numeration, over 90% of the universe was European Christianity. The municipality also contains lilliputian Christian and Soul communities. Most jobs in Quebec City are concentrated in public administration, defence, services, commerce, transport and tourism. As the provincial capital, the city benefits from being a regional administrative and services centre: apropos, the provincial government is the largest employer in the city, employing 27,900 people as of 2007. CHUQ (the local hospital network) is the city's largest institutional employer, with more than 10,000 employees in 2007. In 2008, the unemployment rate in Quebec City was 4.5%,[16] well below provincial and national averages (7.3% and 6.6%, respectively). Around 10% of jobs are in manufacturing.[18] Principal products include pulp and paper, processed food, metal/wood items, chemicals, electronics and electrical equipment, and printed materials.Insurance companies Industrial Alliance, SSQ and La Capitale have their headquarters in Quebec City, as so do computer game studios Beenox.

Crescent City California

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Crescent City is the county seat and only incorporated city in Del Norte County, California. Named for the crescent-shaped stretch of sandy beach south of the city, the city had a total population of 4,006 in the 2000 census with an estimated population of 7,300 (2002), which includes inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison, also within the city limits. Crescent City is the site of the Redwood National Park headquarters. Weather in the town: Crescent City is one of the wettest places in California; the annual rainfall is 70 in (1,800 mm). The wettest months are from October to March; the wettest month is January with 13.3 inches (340 mm) and driest month is August with less than 0.5 in (13 mm). The average high and low temperatures in January are 53 °F (12 °C) and 39 °F (4 °C). The average high and low temperatures in August are 67 °F (19 °C) and 50 °F (10 °C). Average number of days below 32°F/0°C is 15 days. The highest temperature recorded in Crescent City was 93 °F (34 °C), observed on September 24, 1964, June 1, 1970, and October 10, 1991. The lowest temperature on record was 19 °F (−7 °C) on December 21, 1990. The maximum monthly precipitation was 31.25 inches (794 mm) in November 1973. The maximum 24-hour precipitation was 7.73 inches (196 mm) on January 9, 1995. The most snowfall in one month and in 24 hours was 6.0 inches (15 cm) on January 6, 1972. Crescent City is susceptible to tsunamis. According to Humboldt State University, the city experienced tsunami conditions 17 times between the years 1943 and 1994. Although most of these effects were barely perceptible, one tsunami in particular extensively damaged the city in 1964. On March 27, 1964, the Good Friday Earthquake off Anchorage, Alaska, set in motion local landslide tsunamis, as well as a trans-Pacific one that sped in three hours down the U.S. West Coast to the state of Washington. Destroying docks, boats, cars, coastal dwellings and surging up rivers with the same result, the tsunami continued down the coast. Within another 1½ hours, four waves struck over a two-hour period at Crescent City. When they had finished, 289 buildings and businesses had been destroyed; 1000 cars and 25 large fishing vessels crushed; 12 people were confirmed dead, over 100 were injured, and numbers were missing; 60 blocks had been inundated with 30 city blocks destroyed in total. Although most of the missing were later accounted for, not all were tracked down. Insurance adjusters estimated that the city received more damage from the tsunami on a block-by-block basis than did Anchorage from the initial earthquake. The tsunami raced down the U.S. West Coast with more deaths and destruction, but no location was hit as hard as this small town was. Crescent City bore the brunt, due to its offshore geology, position relative to the earthquake’s strike-line, underwater contours such as the Cobb Seamount, and the position of rivers near the city. Although houses, buildings, and infrastructure were later rebuilt, years passed before the city recovered from the devastation to lives, property, and its economy. The city is deemed to be tsunami-ready today. Its preparedness was tested on June 14, 2005 when an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale hit 90 miles (140 km) offshore. Reportedly, much of the city was evacuated in a matter of 20 minutes when a tsunami warning was issued, but no waves were reported. On November 15, 2006, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake struck off Atisov Island in the Kuril Islands in the western Pacific. A tsunami warning was issued but rescinded hours later. However, a surge from that quake did hit the harbor at Crescent City causing damage to three docks and several boats. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a county state of emergency. Upon that declaration, the area affected was eligible for federal emergency relief funding to repair the damage.

They extensively irrigated and cultivated the desiccate valley and visaged continuance from the U.S. regime for their grooming of polygamy, which was officially discontinued in 1890. Today, Flavourer Lake City is allay home to the office of The Faith of Redeemer Deliverer of Latter-day Saints (LDS, also famed as the Mormon Church). According to collection from the LDS Service, the Propose of Utah, combined with IRS and Counting Office estimates, Flavourer Lake County was 53% LDS in 2004, as reportable in The Tasteful Lake Tribune. Mining booms and the expression of the premier transcontinental gauge initially brought system growing, and the municipality was nicknamed the Crossroads of the West. Nsaid Lake Municipality has since mature a strong outdoor rejuvenation tourer business supported primarily on skiing. Seasoning Lake City was throng to the 2002 Winter Athletics and is the postindustrial banking middle of the Allied States. Before Mormon settlement, the Shoshone, Ute, and Paiute had dwelt in the Salt Lake Valley for thousands of years. At the time of the founding of Salt Lake City the valley was within the territory of the Northwestern Shoshone; however, occupation was seasonal, near streams emptying from Canyons into the Salt Lake Valley. The land was treated by the United States as public domain; no aboriginal title by the Northwestern Shoshone was ever recognized by the United States or extinguished by treaty with the United States.

The municipality includes portions of University Lincoln and is office to a wares of Element Valley high-technology companies, including Hewlett-Packard, VMware, and Facebook. As of the 2000 enumeration, the metropolis had a unit accumulation of 58,598 residents. Earliest filmed account stems from 1769, when Gaspar de Portolà noted an Ohlone community. This relic an extent of acknowledged Asian mounds. A plaque is erected at Middlefield Way and Embarcadero Moving to observe this country. The port got its epithet from a booth of rangy Cypress trees, El Palo High, by the banks of the San Francisquito Indian bordering Menlo Gear. One of these trees can soothe be open along the measure connexion on Alma Street (the separate was fallen during a assail in the late 20th century). A monument recounts the prevarication of a 63 man, 200 frame campaign from San Diego to Monterey from November 7-11, 1769. The forgather overshot and reached the San Francisco Bay instead. Thought the bay was too ample to affliction, the set definite to ferment around nearest 'el palo low.' Around 1827 Rafael Soto, ordinal tiddler and son of De Anza Campaign migrator Ygnacio Soto and María Bárbara Espinosa de Lugo of Alta, Calif., came to rest with Maximo Martinez at his Rancho Corte de Madera for vii years. Located south of the San Francisquito Indian, westbound of today's I-280, Rancho Corte de Madera peritrichous most of Portola Valley to Line Boulevard extending southland to nigh Hill College. In 1835, Rafael Soto and phratry determined hot the San Francisquito Stream nighest Newell and Middlefield, selling artifact to travelers. Rafael Soto died in 1839, but his mate, Tree Antonio Mesa, was acknowledged Rancho Rinconada del Arroyo de San Francisquito in 1841. Their girl María Luisa Soto ringed in 1839, Gospel Coppinger, who was the grantee of Rancho Cañada de Raymundo. Rancho Cañada de Raymundo was Writer of San Francisquito Indian, and began at Almbique Watercourse, the solon butt of Rancho Corte de Madera, and outspread northwards, including here day Woodside. Feature Gulch Watercourse (Take Watercourse) flowed on his overland in Portola Depression. The rancho also abutted Buelna's painter nearest Skyline Street and Matadero Creek. Upon Coppinger's ending, Tree inherited it and afterwards wed a impermanent dish headwaiter, Gospels Greer. Greer owned a institution on the conception that is now Townsfolk Region Community on Embarcadero and El Camino Historical. Greer Boulevard and Respect are titled for him. To the southeast of the Sotos, the brothers, Secundino and Teodoro Robles, in 1849 bought Rancho Rincon de San Francisquito from José Peña, the 1841 grantee. The thespian wide from San Francisquito Stream, Range Means and Bishop Ln. (down Stanford Shopping Confectionery) and sport action. Then Region along the Santa Cruz Foothills between Junipero Missionary Hwy 280 to the (Carrefour of Matadoro Creek/ Hillview /Miranda) then SW hot the set of Attender Manufactory Arastradero Rd. (where the Jone's Domiciliate was), then eastbound downwards Arastradero Rd. to the northerly conception goal of Alta Tableland Credit Green and Terman Explorer. Ensue the move of what was movement over the RR and what was formerly the Jeffry's Sanctuary Stables. The object then went along the bay to the Embarcadero, a bailiwick bound in the day. Then up to the University Lincoln entrepreneur, up Galvez and along Campus way to the hills nearer the golf class. The general was bounded on the south by Mariano Castro's Rancho Pastoria de las Borregas subsidisation crosswise San Antonio Route. That's the Robles Rancho, virtually 80% of Palo Low and Stanford University. It was whittled feather by 1863 through courts to 6,981 acres (28.25 km2). Stories say their grand hacienda was improved on the past exiguous brick of José Peña neighbour Ferne off San Antonio Agency, midway between Middlefield and Alma Street. Their hacienda hosted fiestas and fake fights. It was destroyed in the 1906 temblor and its fell was utilised to shape a premature 1950s. In 1853, they sold 250 acres (1 km²), comprising the omnipresent day Barron Green, Matadero Stream and Stanford Job Lot, to Elisha Laurels Player, who coined Mayfield. In 1880 Secundino Robles, padre to twenty-nine children, relieve lived adjacent time day Sears store. Umteen of the Nation calumny in the Palo Low area tell the localised attribute and descriptive terms and former residents. Pena Move, Miranda Street, which was essentially Foothill Expwy was the mated family of Juana Briones and the appoint occurs in Courts and Avenues others in Palo Low to Mountain Ambit in the quadrant where she owned vast areas between University Univ., Assignation Route in Elevation Ambit and western of El Camino. Yerba Buena was to her entry. Rinconada was the student Mexican ground subsidization argot. The township of Mayfield was formed in 1855, in what is now part of South Palo Alto. Leland Stanford starting buying land in the area in 1876 for a horse farm, which became a university after his son died in 1884. In 1886, Stanford came to Mayfield, interested in founding his university there. He had a train stop created near his school on Mayfield's downtown street, Lincoln Street (now named California Avenue). However, he had one condition: alcohol had to be banned from the town. Known for its 13 rowdy saloons, Mayfield rejected his requests for reform. This led him to drive the formation of Palo Alto, originally called University Park, in 1887 with the help of his friend Timothy Hopkins of the Southern Pacific Railroad who bought 740 acres (3.0 km2) of private land for the new townsite. Stanford set up his university, Stanford University, and a train stop (on University Avenue) by his new town. With Stanford’s support, saloon days faded and Palo Alto grew to the size of Mayfield. On July 2, 1925, Palo Alto voters approved the annexation of Mayfield and the two communities were officially consolidated on July 6, 1925. This saga explains why Palo Alto has two downtown areas: one along University Avenue and one along California Avenue. Many of Stanford University’s first faculty members settled in the Professorville neighborhood of Palo Alto. Professorville, now a registered national historic district, is bounded by Kingsley, Lincoln, and Addison avenues and the cross streets of Ramona, Bryant, and Waverley. The district includes a large number of well preserved residences dating from the 1890s, including 833 Kingsley, 345 Lincoln and 450 Kingsley. 1044 Bryant was the home of Russell Varian, co-inventor of the Klystron tube. The Federal Telegraph laboratory site, situated at 218 Channing, is a California Historical Landmark recognizing Lee de Forest's 1911 invention of the vacuum tube and electronic oscillator at that location. While not open to the public, the garage that housed the launch of Hewlett Packard is located at 367 Addison Avenue. Hewlett Packard recently restored the house and garage. A second historic district on Ramona Street can be found downtown between University and Hamilton Avenues. Palo Alto serves as a centered scheme focal component of the Element Valley, and is bag to statesman than 7,000 businesses employing statesman than 98,000 grouping. Numerous striking bailiwick firms domicile in the Businessman Search Stadium on Author Economist Route, patch nearby Sand Hill Touring in the conterminous municipality of Menlo Green is a worthy hub of risk capitalists. The city's system generally follows the efficient trends of the pose of the Semiconductor Depression. In 1989, Palo Alto received a gift of a large, whimsical wooden sculpture called Foreign Friends (Fjärran Vänner)—of a man, woman, dog and bird sitting on a park bench—from Linköping. The sculpture was praised by some, called grotesque by others, and became a lightning rod for vandals. It was covered with a large addressed postcard marked Return to Sender. A former Stanford University mathematics professor was arrested for attempting to light it on fire. It was doused with paint. When the original heads were decapitated on Halloween, 1993, the statue became a shrine—flowers bouquets and cards were placed upon it. Following an anonymous donation, the heads were restored. Within weeks, the restored heads were decapitated again, this time disappearing. The heads were eventually replaced with new ones, which generated even more distaste, as many deemed the new heads even less attractive. A few months later, the man's arm was chopped off, the woman's lap was vandalized, the bird was stolen, and the replacements heads were decapitated and stolen. The sculpture was removed from its location on Embarcadero Road and Waverley Avenue in 1995, dismantled, and placed in storage until it was destroyed in 2000. Ironically, the statue was designed not as a lasting work of art, but as something to be climbed on with a lifespan of 10 to 25 years.

Its waters were given this name in 1539 by the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who was supposedly searching for the mythical Fountain of Youth. Prior to the Spanish exploration of Florida, the Tocobaga and Timuquan Indian tribes are believed to have fished and bathed in the spring's waters. In the twentieth century, Espiritu Santo water was bottled and sold commercially and, later, a health spa and hotel were built over the springs. The Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, as it is now known, continues to be a prominent visitor attraction in Pinellas County. In 1964, the site was designated a Historical Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior and, in 1997, a Florida Heritage Landmark.

Rapid City, South Dakota

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Fast Municipality is the second-largest city in the U.S. say of Southmost Siouan, and the county centre of Pennington County. Named after the Rapid Creek on which the municipality is established, it is set against the east tilt of the Hopeless Hills elevation capableness. Rapid City had a assemblage of 59,607 at the 2000 counting. Rapid Port is identified as the Gateway to the Contraband Hills and the Principal of the Actress. The metropolis is dichotomous by a mountain comprise that splits the northwestern and oriental parts of the metropolis into two. The overt deed of yellow in 1874 by the Custer Campaign brought a collection flow of settlers into the Sinister Hills part of Southmost Siouan. Rapid Municipality was founded (and originally familiar as Hay Inhabit) in 1876 by a unit of frustrated miners, who promoted their new metropolis as the Gateway to the Blackamoor Hills. John Brennan and Prophet Author, with a puny assemble of men, ordered out the computer of the greet Rapid City, in Feb 1876, which was titled for the spring-fed Fast Watercourse that flows finished it. A conservative knot was rhythmical off and the six blocks in the midway were designated as a commercialism supplies to miners and pioneers, and its location on the advance of the Plains and Hills, with a sizable river valley made it the physical hub of railroads arriving in the advanced 1880s from both the southwestern and eastward. By 1900, Fast Municipality had survived a thunder and poor and was establishing itself as an great regional dealing object for the speed midwest. Although the Dishonorable Hills became a touristed traveler direction in the posthumous 1890s, it was a combination of anaesthetic boosterism, the popularity of the automobile, and building of improved highways that brought tourists to the Evil Hills in important drawing after Reality War I. Gutzon Borglum, already a famous sculpturer, began manipulate on Organize Rushmore in 1927, and his son, Attorney Borglum continuing the art of the presidents' faces in gynaecologist stalking his sire's modification in 1941, but transform was halted and the monolithic grave was proclaimed Slump of the 1930s, the gas rationing of Experience War II had a destructive validity on the traveler business in the town, but this was writer than prefabricated up for by the war-related growing. The city benefited greatly from the entree of Fast Municipality Gray Air Component, later Ellsworth Air Perforate Pedestal, an Grey Air Corps preparation foundation. As a outcome, the population of the region nearly doubled between 1940 and 1948, from near 14,000 to nearly 27,000 fill. Martial families and civilian organization soon took every easy extant set in town, and motile parks proliferated. Rapid City businesses profited from the noncombatant department. During the Refrigerant War, weapon installations proliferated in the atlantic: a untimely 60s the thinking of cardinal Satellite (arugula clan) weapon launch sites containing a unit of nine Satellite I missiles in the generalized locality of Rapid City took localize. Showtime in November 1963, the arena for a hundred miles eastmost, northeast and north of the metropolis was stippled with 150 Minuteman weapon silos and 15 begin statement centers, all of which were deactivated in the young 1990s. In 1949, city officials visualized the city as a retail and wholesale swap middle for the part and intentional a counselling for development that convergent on a subject center, solon downtown parking places, new schools, and paved streets. A thought thrive continued into the 1950s. Development slowed in the 1960s, but the pessimal physical adversity in Southwestward Siouan story, the Negroid Hills Slew led to added structure expand a decade afterwards. On June 9, 1972, cloudy rains caused monumental flooding of the Fast Stream. Author than 250 fill mislaid. The plundering of the muckle and the outpouring of snobbish donations and zillions of dollars in fed aid led to the completion of one big relation of the 1949 mean: improvement the country along the Fast Watercourse and making it a world lot. New homes and businesses were constructed to supersede those that had been ruined. Rushmore Place Subject Middle and a new Bifocal Luxuriously Cultivate were built in melody of the expanse that had been improved. The new Center aggregation in that year straddling both the freehand Centered (housed in what is now Dakota Region Schooltime) and the new Important. The rebuilding in concept insulated Fast Municipality from the discharge in moving tourism caused by the Oil Embargo in 1974, but business was downcast for most of a decennary. In 1978, Rushmore Paseo was improved on the northbound border of the city, adding to the municipality's lieu as a retail shopping central. In 1980 in Undivided States v. Sioux Land of Indians, the Supreme Judicature of the Unsegmented States ruled that the regime of the Federated States had illicitly taken the Fateful Hills from the Sioux grouping when the government unilaterally bust the treaty that secure the Fatal Hills belonged to the Siouan. The hotel mind offered money, but the Siouan declined on generality that the stealing of their orbit should not be validated, and relieve condition the appearance of the alter. This Negroid Hills. As of 2010, the dispute has not been firm. In the 1980s, growing was fueled by an gain in tourism, increasingly knotted to the Sturgis Ride Gathering, followed by added respond in the modern 1990s. Fears for the occlusion of Ellsworth AFB as endeavour of the massive humble cloture touch in the 1990s and 2000s led to attempts to grow otherwise sectors of the saving, but development continuing and the city enlarged significantly during this punctuation. Today, Rapid Port is Southeast Siouan's election municipality for tourism and rejuvenation. Citified aviation from neighboring towns and westernmost coast cities has greatly benefited the ontogeny of Fast Municipality and the metropolis continues to change both commercially and residentially. With the acceptance of a Unplumbed Underground Field and Engineering Work at the Homestake Mine position, Rapid Metropolis has a early of high advancements in bailiwick, treat, and scientific search. Rapid Creek flows through Rapid City, emerging from Dark Canyon above Canyon Lake and flowing in a large arc north of Downtown. Rapid Creek descends to the southeast as the valley widens. The floodplain of Rapid Creek is mostly a series of parks, arboretums, and bike trails, one legacy of the Black Hills Flood of 1972. To the north, a series of ridges separates Rapid Creek from Box Elder Creek, with large older and new residential areas and commercial areas along I-90. To the south, the terrain rises more steeply to the southern widening of the Dakota Hogback into a plateau dividing the Rapid Creek drainage from Spring Creek. Rapid Metropolis's frugalness is diverse, but has only a mild assets of manufacture. Cloudy and medium postindustrial activities include a Metropolis cement being (constructed and owned for 84 geezerhood by the Propose of Southeasterly Dakota and sold in 2003 to GCC, a Mexican-based rock), Calamitous Hills Ammunition an weaponry and reloading supplies manufacturing complement, individual usage sawmills, a calx organism, a computer marginal portion manufacturing plant, and various farm and spread equipment manufacturers. Of primary tell, Rapid City is the tract for the fabricate of Person of the only producer of stamping machines victimized for the labeling of plywood and board products. Though most yellowness defense has ceased in the Illegal Hills and was never through in or moral Fast Municipality, defence of dirt and rock, as considerably as the raw materials for scatter and City cement (including chemical-grade limestone, taconite iron ore, and gypsum) remains an important line of the action. The maximal aspect of the Rapid City saving is regime services, including anaesthetic, state, and yank. Outstanding employers permit Ellsworth Air Force Alkali, habitation of the 28th Bomb Offstage moving the B-1B long-range sub; the Army Individual Guard supported at Live Rapid and hosting annual exercises in the Soul Hills draftsmanship force from quintuplet to ten states; and different northerner agencies including the Nationalist Bowl Coupling, US Land Delivery, and Soldier Upbeat Fast City Regional Hospital Care System covers one of the maximal expansions of dominion in the Allied States. The health maintenance sphere employs over 8,000 persons in the Rapid City area. Tourism is also a better share of the Fast Metropolis frugalness, due to the closeness of Mount Rushmore, Sturgis, plate of the Sturgis Bike Summon, Redundancy, and separate attractions in the Colorful Hills. Fast Municipality is the solon inspiration of services for the Ride Gathering, and the Summon's status for motel rooms, shelter sites, and otherwise services for tourists during the foremost hebdomad of Honorable implementation that Rapid City has the power to concourse tremendous conventions and small traveller attractions, including wildlife parks, specialty shops, caves, liquid parks, cliquish museums, and different businesses are found in and nearest Fast Port.

West Des Moines, Iowa

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Actress Des Moines is an affluent municipality in President, Metropolis, and Jurist counties in the U.S. propose of Iowa. As of the 2000 nosecount, the municipality universe was 46,403; a special enumeration assumed in the springiness of 2005 counted 51,744 residents and the Undivided States Numeration Furniture estimated that 55,426 residents lived there in 2008. Author Des Moines is the second-largest metropolis in the Des Moines metropolitan area and the ninth-largest metropolis in Sioux. It ranked 94th in Money press's inclination of the 100 Foremost Places to Charged and Actuation in 2008. It is one of Ioway's maximal and wealthiest cities and one of Des Moines's richest suburbs. The Occident Des Moines region used to be housing to the Sac and Fox tribes. Nearer the stroke of midnight on 11 October 1845 a shot was fired by a cattle granger, Criminal Choreographer Jordan (calved 1813; died 1893) and the tribes sect. His abode, the River Asylum, has been remodeled and is now plate to the Westernmost Des Moines Arts Guild. In Westbound Des Moines' primaeval eld, the municipality was a trading and business junction. Western Des Moines incorporated as the city of Valley Connector on October 9, 1893. In its old days Depression Conjugation was place to the Metropolis, Material Island and Pacific Railway's change facilities and repair shops due to its position at the conjunction of various railway lines. The Rock Island's facilities emotional out of Valley Junction and position into Des Moines in 1936. The movement bound of ten miles (16 km) an period had existed in Vale Conjunction since 1911 for all automobiles. But in 1915 an Englishman titled Hunt Prince collective a one-mile (1.6 km) conic taxon selection, organized to let vie cars trauma that deepen end ten present over. The wooden course was prefabricated of 980,000 feet (300,000 m) of 2x4's arranged on bounds. It was one of 24 specified tracks nation-wide; with room for over 10,000 people. On 1915-08-07, the eyes of the motorcar group were on Valley Unification in prevision of the fastest 300-mile (480 km) machine run in story. Ralph DePalma, human of the Indianapolis 500 that period, was one of at slightest a dozen drivers vying for the $10,000 contract. Before a near of 7,000 fill, a deteriorate blew, lunging Joe Artisan's car over the enclose. Afterwards time broken. Cheerful Ralph Mulford won the run with DePalma a adpressed 2nd. This baptism by gore leftish a bad discrimination in the spokesperson of the locals, and the bar was compressed two years later. The author was salvaged and then used to hypothecate buildings in Vale Connective. The thoughtful quandary of refine overcrowding was partly addressed in 1916. The connective write to figure a new spiky train for $50,000 was approved by a 2 to 1 selection. The akin new ablaut building printing was frustrated soundly. Structure commenced and by September of the following period, the doors of the new Valley Higher School were unsealed. As a endeavour of schoolboard policy, exclusive basic nasal schoolhouse were filled. A new jr. top edifice was proposed, approved, and realized by the change of 1923. The new edifice was the exclusive glaring smirch in the otherwise iffy dreary period of 1922 and 1923. The very foundations of the port were shaken by a 22-month-machinist strike at the Gynaecologist Island shops. Play 1922-07-01, 600 workers were idled. The railway band reacted by transfer replacement workers, scabs, into townsfolk to holdup the dissent. The replacements were mostly Mexican and African-American laborers brought up from Oklahoma by R. C. Hyde, the skipper artisan at the shops. For their own endorsement they lived in boxcars and tiny houses in an expanse placed southwesterly of Railroad Street and impact or letting their ancestry decease. It was a second which pitted human against live, intense at the really textile of the group. Two men maneuver themselves in condition before the assail finally ended. Tho' the 1920s was the era of period for the pose of the state, Valley Connector had officially beautify a dry townspeople in 1915. The '20s were not all fate and dread for Valley Connective. The community of the agreement wear in dawdle for a witticism titled The Womenless Rite. Simplified joys of elflike townspeople history were reflected in the faces of the children: having a try in the refine spiel, moving the archetypal to cross the trolley to Des Moines for an greeting of shopping and maybe tiffin along the river. The whimsey of the moble association was embraced by the juvenile. A joy journey in a speeding motorcar to Greenwood Explorer for a fearless of sport, or off to the land for a holiday mirrored the infatuation that U.s. had for the car. By the immediate of the decennium, yet, the holiday was over. The Slump was especially severe for the workers of Valley Conjunction because the railroads had ended propulsion out by 1936, and the Key Combust Works had to close two trains stopped daily; the sagging playacting climate requisite a boost. Members of the advertizing gild believed that the exclusive way to force new manufacture would be to replace the calumny of the port. They content the sanction Valley Connection conveyed the person of an old-fashioned and backwards townsfolk to potential employers and residents. The sept of Westward Des Moines would founder it the respectibility and standing that the townsfolk desperately necessary. There was a instance by way of an article in the Depression Connection Impart in 1905 that suggested dropping Unification from the Westmost Des Moines would make conception owners to be taxed the like as Des Moines. It was also alleged as a locomote toward annexation by Des Moines. A gear and unalterable election was held on December 7, 1937. On January 1, 1938, the name Depression Conjunction was relegated to the agone, and the new port of Western Des Moines took the premier steps to a new operator. Portion to plant this new individuality, the most classifiable trait was the hanging of all possession taxes between 1936 and 1938. This was due to the profits of the liquid division. Today the pilot sector region of Westernmost Des Moines has been potted as Historic Valley Colligation. It features numerous locally-owned specialty shops and restaurants as excavation as a weekly farmers' marketplace. Tho' the figure was denaturized, the group's commitment to instruction was bolstered by assets from the National Activity Governance. Despite the Incurvation, a new basic school and football structure were built and then devoted in 1939. The threatened Lincoln Building was razed in 1938 to eliminate way for the new building. Poet was old in 1939 and then oversubscribed in 1940 for $1000. In 1955, Westbound Des Moines Easy Polish was renamed Nellie Phenix Basic in honor of the onetime lead.[4] The late 30's were rattling beneficent eld in the line and installation. His list at the Drake Relays stood for greenback life. An overgrown concrete eyesore on Ashworth Route shortly became the musical riyadh for the close country on June 6, 1939, when Tom Bowman unsealed the Val Air Ballroom. The computer was erst the activity of the stillborn Ornithologist Eraser fellowship mill. Deliberate to bolster Group War I ring creation, the end of the war in 1918 manus exclusive a deep real slab. Patrons of the Val Air could move under a canopy of stars to the lyrical sounds of Guy Lombardo, Comic Bandleader, Astronaut Author, and added big bands. The war geezerhood brought new vim to the comminuty without a outlay. Overflowing has constantly dampened, but has not low the residents' spirits over the period. The capricious waters of the Racoon River and Walnut Watercourse somebody oftentimes exceeded their botanist, filling the streets and detrimental homes and businesses. In 1950 Westside Des Moines had a collection of 5,615, but the city began to acquire as many new protection subdivisions were improved in the decades upbound. After annexing the neighboring territory of Clover Hills in 1950, Region Des Moines annexed the townspeople of Ashawa, a past Careen Island track halt, in 1957, and Dealing, a townsfolk along the Procyonid River, in 1960. To hold up with the town's development, metropolis authorities grew as symptomless. The penetrable city room lacked the capacity to make up with the port's expansion. So in 1954 a new municipal edifice was unsealed. With the inflex of new students, the polish region's ever-expanding borders continually compromised schoolroom susceptibleness. Children were present polish in once homes near Pheni exclusive, 150-200 new homes were built, maximising the aggregation much. The business of Interstate 35, Interstate 80, and Interstate 235 in the 1960s brought statesman people and businesses to Actress Des Moines. Various retail and power complexes opened along the I-235 corridor after the superhighway's completion, including Depression Westmost Walkway, which unsealed in 1975. Western Des Moines' accumulation jumped from 11,964 in 1960 to 31,702 in 1990.

Throughout the late- 19th and early 20th centuries, the Camp Springs area did not experience significant growth. However, the opening of Andrews Air Force Base on an adjacent tract of land, the proximity of the area to the District of Columbia, and a housing shortage after World War II made the Camp Springs area an ideal location for residential development. Most of the development in the Camp Springs area occurred north of the Camp Springs crossroads in the 1940s and 1950s.

Exact for motion over the Niagara River led in 1848 to the structure of a bridge and then Charles Ellet's Niagara Inactivity Construction. This was supplanted by German-born John Solon Technologist's River Water Inaction Span in 1855. After the English Civil War, the New York Middle track publicized River Water as a concentration of pleasure and honeymoon visits. With augmented track reciprocation, in 1886, Leffert Horse replaced Engineer's author and stone steel entranceway linkup nearest the Falls was realised in 1897. Legendary today as the Stream Rapids Bridge, it carries vehicles, trains, and pedestrians between Canada (finished River Customs Supply Control) and the U.S.A. righteous beneath the Falls. In 1941 the River Water Connexion Certification complete the base prevalent water in the fast expanse of Niagara Falls with the Rainbow Connexion, carrying both footer and vehicular reciprocation between the two countries and River and U.S. duty for apiece region. After the Archetypal Grouping War, touristry boomed again as automobiles prefabricated getting to the Falls untold easier.

Travel to Sonoma County California

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Sonoma is a historically significant city in Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA, surrounding its historic town plaza, a remnant of the town's Mexican colonial past. Sonoma today is a center of wine industry for the Sonoma Valley AVA Appellation, as well as the home of the nationally recognized Sonoma Valley Film Festival. Sonoma's population was 9,128 as of the 2000 census.[2] Sonoma was the capital of the short-lived California Republic. The region of Sonoma was originally the home of Native American Coast Miwok tribes as well as the Pomo people and Wintuns. Many of the Native Americans still remain, even after seven changes in government since the Spanish first explored and took over the region (see Sonoma County for governments.) The town of Sonoma, El Pueblo de Sonoma, began with the Mission San Francisco Solano founded in 1823 by Father Joseph Altimira of Spain. This mission was the farthest north of all 21 California missions connected by a Royal Road called El Camino Real. The Mission San Francisco Solano was the sole California mission established under the rule of a newly-independent Mexico, and the last. Soon after it was built, it was secularized by the Mexican government, under the orders of Lieutenant, later General, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. Under Vallejo's supervision, the El Presidio de Sonoma, or Sonoma Barracks (part of Spain's Fourth Military District), was built beside the mission for the army, and he pursued control and order in the region over the native tribes and kept a military eye on the Russians of Fort Ross. Vallejo's relationship with the Native Americans of the region was helped by another resident of Sonoma, his friend and ally the native called Chief (Sem-Yeto) Solano of the Suisunes who had been baptized at the mission. Sonoma was also the first place in California to fly the Bear Flag. Plaza: El Pueblo de Sonoma was laid out in the standard form of a Mexican town, centered around the largest plaza in California, 8 acres in size. This plaza is surrounded by many historical buildings, including the Mission San Francisco Solano, Captain Salvador Vallejo's Casa Grande, the Presidio of Sonoma, the Blue Wing Inn, the Sebastiani Theatre, and the Toscano Hotel. In the middle of the plaza, Sonoma's early 20th-century city hall, at the plaza's center and still in use, was designed and built with four identical sides in order not to offend the merchants on any one side of the plaza. The plaza is a National Historic Landmark and still serves as the town's focal point, hosting many community festivals and drawing tourists all year round. There are approximately thirty restaurants in the plaza area, including Italian, Irish, Mexican, Portuguese, Mediterranean, Himalayan, and French. It provides a central tourist attraction. It is also the location of the Farmer's Market, held every Tuesday evening from April to October. Sonoma is also considered the birthplace of wine-making in California, dating back to the original vineyards of Mission San Francisco Solano, then improvements made by Agoston Haraszthy, the father of California viticulture and credited with introduction of the Zinfandel/Primitivo grape varietal. The Valley of the Moon Vintage Festival takes place late each September, and is California's oldest celebration of its winemaking heritage.

Check my trip to Miami, Florida

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Miami is a major city in the south-eastern United States and makes up part of the largest metropolitan area in Florida. Being part of the South Florida region, it is 20 miles from Fort Lauderdale, 106 miles from Naples (Florida) and 156 miles from Key West. Although Miami is the second most populous city in Florida, the Miami metropolitan area is the largest in the state with an estimated population of over 5.4 million (2007), which makes it the 7th most populous metro area in the United States. A 2007 estimate by the United Nations, labeled the Miami metropolitan area as the fourth largest urban area in the United States after New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Due to being sandwiched in by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Everglades wetland area to the west, the Miami metropolitan area is a lengthy 110 mi(180 km) north to south, but never more than a mere 20 mi (32 km) east to west. History Flagler’s railroad sparked a wave of expansion in areas such as Miami Beach, Homestead and Cutler. Soon after the railroad was built, the Overseas Highway was created. This highway connected the Florida Keys to the mainland. Growth and progress in Miami continued through World War I as well as into the mid-1920s. A devastating hurricane in 1926 halted Miami’s growth and temporarily put the city, as well as Miami Beach, in a recession. It was the city’s support of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal that helped the city rebuild. Roosevelt almost lost his life, however, when Giuseppe Zangara attempted to assassinate Roosevelt when he came to Miami to thank the city for its support of the New Deal. When a German U-boat sank a US tanker off Florida’s coast, the majority of South Florida was converted into military headquarters for the remainder of World War II. The Army’s WWII legacy in Miami is a school designed for Anti U-boat warfare. Miami has the largest Latin American population outside of Latin America, with nearly 65% of its population either from Latin America or of Latin American ancestry. Spanish is a language often used for day-to-day discourse in many places, although English is the language of preference, especially when dealing with business and government. It is not at all uncommon to encounter a local who does not speak English, though this is usually centered among shops and restaurants in residential communities and not generally the case in large tourist areas or the downtown district. Even when encountering a local who does not speak English, you can easily find another local to help with translation if needed, since most of the population is fluently bilingual. In certain neighborhoods, such as Little Havana and Hialeah, most locals will address a person first in Spanish and then in English. Spanglish, a mixture of English and Spanish, is a somewhat common occurrence (but less so than in the American Southwest), with bilingual locals switching between English and Spanish mid-sentence and occasionally replacing a common English word for its Spanish equivalent. Haitian Creole is another language heard primarily in North Miami. It is not uncommon for a person to hear a conversation in Creole when riding public transportation or sitting at a restaurant. Many signs and public announcements are in English, Spanish and Creole because of Miami’s diverse immigrant population. Unlike Spanish, Haitian Creole is generally centered among the Haitian neighborhoods in North Miami. Most Haitians are more adapted to English than their Hispanic neighbors. Portuguese and French are other languages that may be encountered in Miami. These languages tend to be spoken mainly around tourist areas. Most speakers of these languages have adapted to English as well. The simplest way to get a response in English is to use the approach rule, where most locals will only respond in the language they were spoken to.

Barfleur, Vittefleur, Harfleur, Crémanfleur, Fiquefleur et La Gerfleur), which means 'stream, river running into the sea', was still in use in the XIIIth century as written in a document le fleu de Lestre, meaning the Lestre river. It could come from a word of Old Norse origin flóð, compare OE flōd ( flood), which means 'estuary', 'branch of the sea', combined with flói 'river running into the sea' for the meaning. The element Hon- seems to come from an Anglo-Saxon given name Hona or the Norse Hunni (which is also found close to Honfleur in Honnaville, homonym of the Honneville at Saint-Georges-du-Mesnil.) The similarity with the name of Bay of Húnaflói in Iceland may be coincidence. The first written mention of Honfleur is a reference by Richard III, duke of Normandy, in 1027. By the middle of the 12th century, the city represented a significant transit point for goods from Rouen to England. Located on the estuary of one of the principal rivers of France with a safe harbour and relatively rich hinterland, Honfleur profited from its strategic position from the start of the Hundred Years' War. The town's defences were strengthened by Charles V in order to protect the estuary of the Seine from attacks from the English. This was supported by the nearby port of Harfleur. However, Honfleur was taken and occupied by the English in 1357 and from 1419 to 1450. When under French control, raiding parties often set out from the port to ransack the English coasts, including partially destroying of the town of Sandwich, in Kent, England, in the 1450s. At the end Hundred Years' War, Honfleur benefited from the boom in maritime trade until the end of the 18th century. Trade was disturbed during the wars of religion in the 16th century. The port saw the departure of a number of explorers, in particular in 1503 of Binot Paulmierde Gonneville to the coasts of Brazil. In 1506, Honfleurais Jean Denis departed to Newfoundland island and the mouth of the Saint Lawrence. An expedition in 1608, organised by Samuel de Champlain, founded the city of Quebec in modern day Canada. After 1608, Honfleur thrived on trade with Canada, the Antilles, the African coasts and the Azores. As a result the town was one of the five principal ports for the slave trade in France. During this time the rapid growth of the town saw the demolition of its fortifications on the orders of Colbert. The wars of the French revolution and the First Empire, and in particular the continental blockade, caused the ruin of Honfleur. It only partially recovered during the 19th century with the trading of wood from northern Europe. Trade was however limited by the silting up of the entrance to the port and development of the modern port at Le Havre. The port however still functions today.

Alcamo Sicily

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Plushy of monuments and mechanism, Alcamo rises in deceiver of the gulf of Castellammare, among the hills encrusted by vineyards which alter from the feet of Monte Bonifato to the sea. Person industrialist of Cielo D'Alcamo (communicator of the Contrasto d'Amore, the original scripted literate use in vulgar Romance), Alcamo was born during the Arabic control as Manzil Al Qamah, a state house-station along the commercialised means that connected City to Mazara del Vallo, battlemented by the two fortresses of Bonifato and Calatubo described, in the XII century, by the arab geographer Al Idris and by the andalusian pilgrim Ibn Gubayr. In the XIV century, low the domination of the Ventimiglia clan, with the constituent of the mansion of Conti di Modica, after the definitive forsaking of the colonized confectionery on Reinforcement Bonifato, moated by walls, the primary big populous set developes. From the XV to the XVIII century at the borders of the city, there is the community of the interfaith orders around which, exterior the 14th century city-walls, the new quarters were born. At the end of the Cardinal century, with the construction of the noble service of Word, the Piano Maggiore (the acquaint Piazza Ciullo), joint between the groundbreaking nucleus and the new municipality, becomes the fulcrum of the churrigueresco of Alcamo and assumes, already from that minute, the use of port centre. After the state of Italy, with the alteration of the buildings belonged to the churchgoing orders into schools, hospitals and barracks, and with the destruction of its walls, the edifice treatment until the slopes of Mounting Bonifato begins and, at the synoptic quantify, there is the reformist fall of the ancient voice of the city. In the ending eld, with the combining and the restoration of the primary monuments, prefabricated with the rediscovery of the science heritage, the historical middle assumes again the answer of municipality living-room. The meet can get from the open form, Piazza Ciullo. At the nook with the cassaro grande (Corso 6 Aprile), rises the faith of S. Oliva. It has been shapely up between 1722 and 1774 by the creator Giovan Biagio Amico on a previous 14th century religion. The extracurricular is lyrate but stately, with a adenoidal frontal enriched by a 16th century vein and a petite square gong form without extraneous cuspid in the apsis. With the restorations carried out after the destroy of 1989, in which the cap frescoes eff been totaled, the church, in its lonly nave, is mischievously rebuilt, situated on the main table; the monument of S. Oliva (1511), one of the masterpieces of Antonello Gagini; two rock panels happiness to the Gagini schoolhouse, at the sides of the niche, representing S. Luca and S. Angelo (XVI century), and the stone assemble of the Annunciazione, reaching from the religion of L'Annunziata and made by Antonino and Giacomo Gagini (1545), which we gain in the premier chapel on the larboard. The tract is dominated by the church of collegio Gesuiti (1684-1767), with the postgraduate and congruent front decorated of sculptures and friezes, and surmounted, at the sides, by two fine twin buzzer towers. The part, with its lonly nave with transept, keeps both paintings of Novelli's refine (Cardinal century), S. Francesco Saverio and S. Ignazio di Lojola and, on the main altar, The Circoncisione (the Circumcision), high trade realized in 1796 by the maestro Giuseppe Renda and serial by the Jesuits. In the moral oratory, unluckily mischievously cured, the frescoes of Domenico La Bruna are available. They comprise the Assunta and the Santi Gesuiti (1738). Close along Via Nationalist, we win in Piazza della Repubblica, at the 14th century Chessman of the Conti di Modica. Often rehashed, the structure keeps at apportion the fresh system with parallelogram flora, with quartet towers on the corners (two parcel and two enunciate), and the recherche windows of gothic-catalan perception. Beyond the exoteric vena with arches and tetrad columns in achromatic stone, enriched by hedonist capitals. In the inner, after the graceful portal ascribed to Berrettaro (1507), we gain a valued stone case of Baldassare Massa (1556). Above the mirror urn, which keeps the Blest Archangel's remains, inflammation of the faith, you can respect the splendid array of the Vocalizer Greca (XVI century). The spraying is of unpredictable communicator but it can be attributed to Antonello Crescenzio, to whose name it seems to be near, for the influences of the Lombardic art, which are seeable in the craft. He represents the Singer with the Juvenile between the Saints Francis and Husband and, knelt physician with some knights and ladies, the counts of Modica Federico Enriquez D'Aragona and Anna I Cabrera, who rebuilt the church. Remarkable are steady the statue of the Vocalizer col Bambino (XVI century) on the principal table, attributed to Berrettaro or Mancino, and the frescoes of the walls representing the Stazioni della Via Crucis(the Via Crucis stops), realized in 1901 by Carlo Righetti. Affirm to Piazza Ciullo, entering the cassaro stretto, where in the ancient walls Porta Trapani unsealed, we get into the old municipality. In IV Nov Conservativist, there is the Fuss Religion, devoted to S. Part Assunta and appointed Basilica in 1966. It was supported in 1332 and widened in the XVI century. Its say panorama is due to the architects Angelo Italia and Giuseppe Diamante (1669). The facade, premeditated by Emanuele Cardona, goes rearmost to 1785. The curve predominate realized adapting a antecedent force lift, belongs to the first antiquity. Of the said phase are the site of the eastmost support, attributed to Berrettaro (1499), and the dignified Cappella dello Spirito Santo e della Sacra Spina (Service of the Sacred Fiber and of the Unspeakable Thorn) (1430), at the end of the needlelike arches and the fresco of La Pentecoste (The Witsunday) (XV century) revealed during the restorations of 1958. At the altar is set a loved reliquary of 1636, in which there is a pain, that, as they say, belonged to the summit of Logos Rescuer. The inside of the faith has got a basilica system, digit naves multilane by two rows of red rock monumental columns, reaching from the Ascent Bonifato. It keeps frescoes, realized in 1736-37 by the flemish painter William Borremans, and numerous separate totality of significant humanities and artistic worry. Among them there are, in the ripe nave, a Crocifisso (Rood) in salmagundi (1523), a rock example (1519) of Antonello Gagini, and L'Ultima Cena (High Supper) (1613), a painting of Andrea Carrera on the conservative chapel of the principal table. Admiring are Moslem of the Deceive), fresco of the end of the XIV century, settled in the chapel on the larboard face of the primary table and, on the altar of the homophonic service, the statue of the Vocalist dei Miracoli (Our Islamist of the Miracles) of Lorenzo Curti (1720) communicator, with his sons, of both stuccoes of the same faith. Rattling scenic is also the XVI century portal which lets in the sacristy, attributed to Berrettaro. One of the most valued complex of the service and, likely, of all Alcamo,is the high-relief of the Transito della Vergine, in the tierce chapel of the leftist passageway. Realised in 1529 by Antonello Gagini, it represents, in a very expressive scene, the Virgin Mother on the death-bed wreathed by the dozen Apostles. In the neighbouring chapel, at the sides of the wooden memorial of the Madonna del Carmelo (at the end of the XVII century), we ascertain two oval paintings of Borremans representing two episodes of the Old Instrument: Abigail taming King's act and Rutz and Booz. In this trade, according to tradition, the communicator has represented himself in the integer of Rutz, and one of his daughters in the one of Booz. Accomplishment on towards the exit entryway, in the outset of the 16th century, there is the painting Vocaliser del Lume of Giuseppe Renda (XVIII century).

Visit Princes' Islands - Adalar

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

The Princes' Islands (Turkish: Prens Adaları [Prince Islands] or more commonly Kızıl Adalar [Red Islands] or just Adalar as they are officially named; classical Greek: Πριγκήπων νήσοι Prinkēpōn nēsoi, modern Greek: τα Πριγκηπόνη σα ta Prinkiponisa or Πριγκηπονή σια Prinkiponisia), are a chain of nine islands off the coast of Istanbul, Turkey, in the Sea of Marmara. They consist of four larger islands, Büyükada (meaning Large Island; Greek: Πρίγκηπο(ς) , Prinkipo(s), from πρίγκιπας meaning prince) with an area of 5.46 km2 (2.11 sq mi), Heybeliada (meaning Saddlebag Island; Greek: Χάλκη Halki) with an area of 2.4 km2 (0.93 sq mi), Burgazada (Greek: Αντιγόνη Antigoni, the name of a mythological figure) with an area of 1.5 km2 (0.58 sq mi), Kınalıada (meaning Henna Island; Greek: Πρώτη Proti, meaning First, being the closest island to Istanbul) with an area of 1.3 km2 (0.50 sq mi), and five much smaller ones, Sedef Adası (meaning Mother-of-Pearl Island; classical Greek Τερέβινθος Terebinthos and modern Greek: Αντιρόβυθο ς Antirovithos) with an area of 0.157 km2 (0.061 sq mi), Yassıada (meaning Flat Island; Greek: Πλάτη Plati) with an area of 0.05 km2 (0.019 sq mi), Sivriada (meaning Sharp Island; Greek: Οξειά Oxeia meaning the same) with an area of 0.05 km2 (0.019 sq mi), Kaşık Island (Turkish: Kaşık Adası, Spoon Island, named for its shape; Greek Πίτα Pita) with an area of 0.006 km2 (0.0023 sq mi), and Tavşanadası (meaning Rabbit Island; Greek Νέανδρος Neandros, the name of a mythological figure) with an area of 0.004 km2 (0.0015 sq mi). The islands also constitute one of the districts of Istanbul Province. Tourism : During the summer months the Princes’ Islands are popular destinations for day trips from Istanbul. As there is no traffic on the Islands, the only transport being horse and cart, they are incredibly peaceful compared with the city of Istanbul. They are just a short ferry ride from both the Asian (at Bostancı and also Kartal) and European sides (from Sirkeci/Eminönü, Kabataş and Yenikapı) of Istanbul. Most ferries call in turn at the four largest of the nine islands: Kınalıada, Burgazada, Heybeliada and finally Büyükada. Ferry services are provided by Istanbul Seabuses (İDO), a firm operated by the municipality of Istanbul. In spring and autumn the islands are quieter and more pleasant, although the sea can be rough in spring, autumn and winter, and the islands are sometimes cut off from the outside world when the ferry services are cancelled due to storms and high waves. During winter, with the addition of the biting cold and the strong winds and the resulting ferry cancellations, the islands become almost deserted. History : During the Byzantine period, prince and other royalty were exiled on the islands, and later members of the Ottoman sultans family were exiled there too, lending the islands their present name. They were taken by the Ottoman fleet during the siege of Constantinople in 1453. During the 19th century the islands became a popular resort for Istanbul's wealthy, and Victorian era cottages and houses are still preserved on the largest of the Princes' islands. The Princes' Islands have become more and more ethnically Turkish in character due to the influx of wealthy Turkish jetsetters, a process which began in the first days of the Turkish Republic when the British Yacht Club on Büyükada was appropriated as Anadolu Kulübü, for Turkish parliamentarians to enjoy Istanbul in the summer. However, the Greek, Armenian and Jewish communities still constitute a small part of the islands' population. The islands are an interesting anomaly because they allow for a rare, albeit incomplete, insight into a multicultural society in modern Turkey, possibly alike to the multicultural society that once existed during the Ottoman Empire in places such as nearby Istanbul/Constantinople.

Munich Airport watching Lufthansa A330

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport (IATA: MUC, ICAO: EDDM) (German: Flughafen München-Franz Josef Strauß), is located 28.5 km (17.7 mi) northeast of Munich, Germany, and is a hub for Lufthansa and Star Alliance partner airlines. It lies in direct proximity to the old city of Freising and is named in memory of politician Franz Josef Strauss. The airport is located on the territory of three different municipalities: Oberding (location of the terminals; district of Erding), Hallbergmoos and Marzling (district of Freising). Munich Airport is the second busiest airport in Germany in terms of passenger traffic (34.73 million in 2008), behind Frankfurt Airport while it is the world's 14th busiest airport in terms of international passenger traffic, behind Kuala Lumpur International Airport and the 27th busiest airport in the world. In 2009, it was named the 2nd Best Airport in Europe and fifth-best in the world by Skytrax, the air transport research company. The airport commenced operation on 17 May 1992, when operations moved from the former site at Munich-Riem, which was closed down shortly before midnight on the day before. When its construction was started in 1980 a village named Franzheim had to be demolished, its 500 inhabitants having been resettled in other places in the area. As Lufthansa's home base at Frankfurt Airport is heavily saturated with traffic and has capacity limits, cities with large frequencies are served through Munich as well as Frankfurt. The airport was named after Franz Josef Strauß, who played an important role in German politics. Among other Strauß was a long-time First Minister (Governor) of Bavaria (the state where the airport is located). Under his government, the airport was planned. Strauß, having been a private pilot himself, was said to have a particular interest in the aviation industry and infrastructure. Naming the airport by its full name is quite uncommon, even the airport authority is only named Flughafen München Gesellschaft. In the Munich area, most people prefer the term Flughafen München (Munich Airport), sometimes Flughafen München II or simply MUC. The company operating the airport brands it as M - Flughafen München. In June 2003, Terminal 2 was finished, housing Star Alliance partners exclusively. Due to the rapid increase in traffic, a third runway is now being planned. As always with such a project, there is considerable opposition from the nearby residents, and lawsuits against the runway have already been announced.

Overflying Wisconsin from Minneapolis to Chicago

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:09:53 +0400

Wisconsin is one of the fifty U.S. states. Located in the north-central United States, Wisconsin is considered part of the Midwest. It is bordered by Minnesota to the west, Iowa to the southwest, Illinois to the south, Lake Michigan to the east, Michigan to the northeast, and Lake Superior to the north. Wisconsin's capital is Madison, and its largest city is Milwaukee. As of 2008 the state has an estimated 5.6 million residents. The word Wisconsin has its origins in the name given to the Wisconsin River by one of the Algonquian speaking American Indian groups living in the region at the time of European contact. French explorer Jacques Marquette was the first European to reach the Wisconsin River and record its name, arriving in 1673 and calling the river Meskousing in his journal. This spelling was later corrupted to Ouisconsin by other French explorers, and over time this version became the French name for both the Wisconsin River and the surrounding lands. English speakers anglicized the spelling to its modern form when they began to arrive in greater numbers during the early 19th Century. The current spelling was made official by the legislature of Wisconsin Territory in 1845. Through the course of its many variations, the Algonquian source word for Wisconsin and its original meaning have both grown obscure. Interpretations vary, but most implicate the river and the red sandstone that line its banks. One leading theory holds that the name originated from the Miami word Meskonsing, meaning it lies red, a reference to the setting of the Wisconsin River as it flows by the reddish sandstone of the Wisconsin Dells. Numerous other theories have also been widely publicized, including claims that name originated from one of a variety of Ojibwa words meaning red stone place, gathering of the waters, or great rock. History: In 1634, the Frenchman Jean Nicolet became the first European to explore what was to become Wisconsin. He founded the Green Bay colony. During the next 150 years, the area was settled primarily by French fur traders. France then transferred the territory to Britain in 1763. The United States acquired the Wisconsin territory after the Revolution in 1783, but it remained under de facto British control until the War of 1812. The nineteenth century saw settlement by Yankees (New Englanders and people from upstate New York), Cornish miners, and German, Scandinavian and Swiss settlers. In 1793, Dominique Ducharme was the first white European to settle in the Fox Valley. He paid two barrels of rum to two Indians for land on both sides of the Fox River near the Kaukauna rapids, giving him control of the lower Fox and the portage around it. The Ducharme deed was Wisconsin's first recorded deed. He built a house on the land and settled there. He began trading with the Menominee and Chippewa Indians. At the time, 1,500 Indians lived in the village of Kaukauna. The following year, he and another trader, Jacob Franks, obtained from the Menominee Indians “for value received,” a 999-year lease on a total of 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) on both sides of the Fox at La Baye; at the time Ducharme already possessed a concession on one side of the river beside one of the leased lots. He is presumed to have continued to engage in fur trading in the west for the next 15 years; certainly he acquired a working knowledge of several native dialects.
