Burj Mubarak al-Kabir

The Burj Mubarak al-Kabir is a Visionary megatall skyscraper in Kuwait City, Kuwait. It was to be part of the future city called Madinat al-Hareer. Expected completion is likely to be around in 2030. If built, it would become the world's tallest building, surpassing the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Its height is in order to reflect the folk tale collection One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. If built, the tower would be the tallest skyscraper in Kuwait, surpassing Al Hamra Tower.
Skyscrapers do not normally exceed 80 floors due to the amount of space that would be taken up by elevators. However, the Mubarak al-Kabir Tower would consist of a far greater number of floors. This would necessitate double or triple-decker elevators.
Another challenge would be posed by the immense height of the building, which makes it vulnerable to high winds. In order to cope with these winds, the tower is designed as three interlocking towers, each twisting 45 degrees to help stabilize it. In addition, vertical ailerons will run the full length of the building on each edge. Adjustments to the positions of these ailerons will redirect the winds in order to minimize structural vibrations.
The building will include seven vertically stacked 30-story 'neighborhoods", including apartments, offices, and hotels. Linking the neighborhoods will be several four-story "town squares."
The planned height of the building is taller than the current tallest building in the world, the 828 m Burj Khalifa.

Wat Phan Lao

Wat Phan Lao (Thai: วัดพันเลา) is a ruined 16th century temple in the "Wiang Kum Kam" archaeological area near Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.
Name.
No information exists about the temple in historical records, so the name used is that which is generally used by and may have been preserved by local people.
Location.
In modern terms, the location is within the Hnong Phuoung Sub District, Saraphee District, Chiang Mai.
Historically, the location was outside of the walls of the former city of Wiang Kum Kam and to the north of the former course of the Ping River, making it something of a physical outlier within the archaeological group.
Excavations.
The temple was excavated from 2002 to 2003, revealing a group of large structures with a complex layout that is thought to have derived from additions to the site over time. The structures were only 50cm beneath the surface as prior to excavation the site had been compromised by bulldozers, road building and encroachment by housing. Artifacts uncovered a gilt lacquer bronze Buddha image of 27.2cm height that is considered to be 16th century Chiang Saen art, spiral and floral stucco motifs, a "tuo ngao" (northern Thai dialect) stair balustrade, fragments of roof tiles and layers of the receding circular moldings of a "chedi". The evidence suggests that the extensive foundations were religious buildings.
The foundations are divided into two groups, the east–west axis group and the northeast–southwest axis group.
Importance.
It is assumed that Wat Phan Lao was an important temple in use during the 16th century.

La chabola de la Hechicera

La chabola de la Hechicera (in Basque: "Sorginaren Txabola", "The Witch's Hut") is a dolmen group located in Elvillar, Álava, in the Basque Country in Spain. Three large vertical stones support a large horizontal flat stone. Nine large stones form a chamber in a polygonal shape. The corridor is made of five stones, and is divided into two. The site was probably a funerary construction to hold the remains of the people in the settlement.
It was discovered in 1935 by Álvaro de Gortázar in a fair state of preservation. Jose Miguel Barandiaran explored it partially in 1936, finding two stone percutors, a polished axe of ophite, fragments of pottery and human remains. The stone lying on top was found broken into three parts, but it was restored and replaced in its original position. The findings are preserved in a museum in nearby Laguardia, Álava.
Before festivities in August, an Akelarre party is celebrated around the dolmen.

Judensau at the choir stalls of Cologne Cathedral

The "Judensau" at the choir stalls of Cologne Cathedral is a medieval, antisemitic wood carving at the side of one of the seats in the choir of Cologne Cathedral. It was produced between 1308 and 1311. It shows a "Jews' sow," a folk art image of Jews in obscene contact with a large female pig, which in Judaism is an unclean animal. It is one of the oldest representations of this theme. Directly beside is another antisemitic motif, which is generally interpreted as an illustration of the blood libel legend. This combination is only known from one other case, a painting from the 15th century at the Old Bridge in Frankfurt.
The cathedral chapter and mason's lodge of the cathedral want to keep and display the wood carvings at their original position. This decision has been controversially discussed and criticised by parts of the public on several occasions, although the sculptures may only be accessed by permission within bespoke guided tours.
Location.
The choir stall of Cologne Cathedral consists of wooden seats. Two longitudinal rows of them are installed each on the northern and southern side of the cathedrals choir, just in front of the chancel screens. The front rows are divided in two equal parts each, to provide access to the row behind.
The woodcarvings of "Judensau" and of the blood libel are shown on the eastern, i.e. on the right hand side of the northern walkway. This area is normally roped-off, and may only be accessed on special occasions with a tour guide.
Manufacture.
The choir stall of Cologne Cathedral is with 104 seats one of the largest in Germany. It was carved from 1308 to 1311 by craftsmen, whose names are not known anymore. The interior construction of the choir was completed by 1300, when the vaults were finished. The interior decoration was built subsequently, until the choir was inaugurated on 27 September 1322.
Some of the 500 figures and ornaments were made by craftsmen from the Paris area or the Lorraine, who were specialised in stone masonry and/or wood carving. Others show by a mix-up of styles and their blunt finish that they were made by laborers or apprentices.
The "Judensau" and the other two wood carvings were probably made by a local man due to their unelaborate design and the unusual motif.
Description.
The "Judensau" and blood libel motifs are wooden reliefs, which fill side-by-side two quatrefoils. The quatrefoil on the left hand side shows three men, who can be distinguished as Jews by their Jewish hats. One of them lifts up the rear end of the pig, one feeds it and one sucks at one of its teats.
The quatrefoil on the right hand side shows two Jews, who empty a tub, out of which a slaughtered pig and three piglets fall. The Jew on the right hand side leads a young boy to the scene, who can be distinguished as Christian because of a hint of a halo.
A third relief on the other side of the armrest may be associated by its location and its motif with the other two. On a spandrel of the inner armrest are shown two pigs, which eat the leaves of an acorn. One of the two pigs jumped-up onto its rear legs and a third one sucks on one of its teats. A monk observes the scene from the background partially covered by a volute.
Symbolism.
The pig symbolises gluttony, vice or the devil in early Christian iconography. It was only disrespectfully associated with Jews in the 9th century. The caricature of Jews as pigs or Jews sucking at the teats or anus of a pig makes reference to the kashrut, according to which the consumption of pig products is prohibited.
The historian Heribert Reiners described in 1909 the connection between the two motifs at the front. He interpreted that the Jews on the right hand side throw away the pork, which had been given to them by others, to look as if they were . Their true was shown in the scene on the left hand side, where they drink the milk of the pig. Bernhard von Tieschowitz explained the scenes in 1930, while he highlighted that they are controversely interpreted. He concluded that both of them showed the blood libel, an accusation that Jews kidnapped and murdered the children of Christians in order to use their blood as part of their religious rituals during Jewish holidays.
The Israeli art historian Isaiah Shachar interprets the scene on the right hand side, as if the Jews throw away the pork meat and kidnap a Christian child to be eaten. It could be a depiction of the alleged ritual murder of Werner of Oberwesel, who was killed in 1287. Shachar sees all three scenes relating to each other as a representation of vice and gluttony.
Virtue opposes vice on many occasions in the choir stalls. In this case we find directly opposite two reliefs with the "Judgment of Solomon" as a symbol for justice. The left panel shown the well-known story of splitting the baby. The one on the right hand side shows the less known motif of shooting the dead father. This motif stems from the time around 400 AD as an illustration of the honest distribution of property in the Talmud. For the Jews, the wise judge was a rabbi instead of the figure of Solomon.
Other antisemitic sculptures at Cologne Cathedral.
On the back of the Shrine of the Three Kings (1190–1225) is a scene, which shows the flagellation of Jesus Christ by two henchmen with Jewish hats. It is interpreted not because of the hats, but because of the caricature-like macking faces of the henchmen. It is probably one of the first examples of overemphasised Jewish noses as an anti-Jewish stereotype.
An exterior cornice of one of the chapels of the cathedral is a gargoyle, which shows a squatting pig. At its teats suckles a male figurine, which depicts without a doubt a Jew. It stems from around 1280.
Controversy around the "Judensau".
At the begin of the 21st century, the Munich-based artists Wolfram P. Kastner and Günter Wangerin requested emphatically to remove the "Judensau", or at least put up a sign with an explanation. In addition, they wanted two pieces of stone masonry approximately 50 m tall, depicting two swastikas be removed. Kastner made repeated requests for their removal and staged acts of protest against the Christian church. He gave a performance in front of Cologne Cathedral, in which he claimed "all Christians are liars".
The cathedral chapter and Barbara Schock-Werner, the head of the cathedral workshop, raised their opinion that the anti-Jewish wood carvings could not be removed from the choir stalls. An explanatory sign was not acceptable, because Cologne Cathedral was a church and not a museum. In addition they explained that the choir stall with the reliefs was not accessible to the public.
In 2006, the controversy triggered a conference by the cathedral workshop in collaboration with the Karl-Rahner-Akademie with the title "Cologne Cathedral and 'the Jews (). In 2008 the cathedral workshop and the Zentral-Dombau-Verein zu Köln dedicated a complete issue of the Kölner Domblatt to this topic and the results of the conference.

Casa do Cabido

Casa do Cabido is a historic house in Santiago de Compostela, Province of A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, facing the Praza de Praterías. It was designed for urban beautification in order to decorate and match the surroundings and completed in 1758 in the baroque style.
History and characteristics.
The medieval silversmith guilds gave name to the Praza das Praterías and to the south façade of the Cathedral: across the square, the Baroque-style Casa do Cabido was built, about three meters deep with an only scenographic function, closing one of the sides around the fountain. Designed by the architect of the Galician baroque Clemente Fernández Sarela, it dates from the year 1758. Initially it was the seat of the Cathedral Council, but it became private property in the mid-nineteenth century.
This way Casa do Cabido, in front of the Cathedral, had a new fake façade strictly following the local architectural order of the early 18th century, the style of plates typical of the Baroque in Compostela.
It inspired Valle-Inclán the story of "My Sister Antonia", just like the fountain (Fonte dos Cabalos) inspired Federico García Lorca for the "Dance of the Moon" poem in Santiago. In the year 2005, the film "The Carpenter's Pencil" was shot on it.

Kingston upon Thames Guildhall

The Kingston upon Thames Guildhall is a municipal building in Kingston upon Thames in England. It is situated in the High Street, adjacent to the Hogsmill River. The guildhall, which is the headquarters of Kingston upon Thames London Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building.
History.
In the early 20th century the local council was based at municipal offices in "Clattern House", a mansion which had originally been built as judges' lodgings in 1811. The Coronation Stone, which commemorates the coronation of seven Anglo-Saxon kings, was moved to its present location, which was just in front of the old mansion, in 1850. After the old municipal offices became inadequate, they were demolished to make way for the current building.
The current building, which was designed by Maurice Webb in the Neo-Georgian style, was built at a cost of £130,000. It was officially opened by Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone on 3 July 1935.
It is a neo-Georgian red brick building with Portland stone dressings and tiled roof, laid out to a semi-circular plan. To the centre of the semi-circular elevation is a massive square tower with a low octagonal spire and fluted corner pinnacles. The central entrance is in the base of the tower. Above it is a two-storey, round headed window set in an open pedimented stone niche with simplified Corinthian columns rising from a corbelled balcony. Pictorial references to the River Thames are displayed upon a keystone inside the niche, and on the corbels, capitals and iron gates. The coat of arms of Kingston is set further up the tower. Inside, there is a marble lined circular entrance hall, and a central staircase with original opaque glass semi-spherical lamps.
The building, which was established as the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, became the administrative headquarters of the enlarged Kingston upon Thames London Borough Council in 1965. In order to accommodate a larger number of staff, it was extended in 1968. It was further extended by additions known as "Guildhall one" and Guildhall two", which were designed by Ronald Ward & Partners, between 1975 and 1978.
The part of the complex associated with the magistrates' courts closed in 2011 and re-opened as a venue for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies known as the "Old Court House" in September 2015.


Shannondale Springs

Shannondale Springs is a former American resort associated with mineral springs on the bank of the Shenandoah River upstream from Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The water from the main spring was reputed to have mild laxative qualities, while other springs had a sulfurous odor. The resort began in 1820 with the construction of 10 to 12 wood cottages, and a two-story hotel was added the next year. The hotel and some of the cottages burned in 1858. After the Civil War several new brick cottages were built and a new hotel was built on the site of the old in 1890. This hotel burned in 1909 and was never rebuilt. The cottages and accessory structures lasted another thirty years before becoming uninhabitable.
In the late 18th century the Shannondale tract was owned by Fernandino Fairfax (1769-1820), who sold several parcels between 1811 and 1819 to settle debts. A ferry was established around 1819. Fairfax's residence, Shannon Hill, was across the Shenandoah from the Shannondale site. After a good start, the resort struggled until the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the Winchester and Potomac Railroad reached Harpers Ferry in 1834 and 1835, respectively. This permitted easy access from Baltimore and Washington, D.C.. The loss of the hotel to fire and the coming of the Civil War closed the resort until 1867, when the resort resumed operations on a much-diminished scale. A flood in 1870 caused considerable damage, and in 1890 a new hotel was constructed with 25 guest rooms, a ballroom and several bath houses. Investors in the new hotel had ties to the Charles Town Mining, Manufacturing and Improvement Company, and proposed to mine iron deposits near the springs. In 1902 the property was purchased at public sale by H.C. Getzendanner, who reopened the hotel in 1903. By 1919 Getzendanner had sold the resort to E.B. Frye for $500. In 1931 a lessor sold the waters for $1 per five-gallon bottle. The property was sold again in 1937 to Thornton T. Perry, Sr.. Much of the property was later donated to The Nature Conservancy, and in 1986 it was transferred to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
From 1996 the Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission has leased the last two remaining structures, a bathhouse and a fountain, and has undertaken stabilization work.
