Teatro de Arena

Teatro de Arena was a theatre in São Paulo, Brazil.[1] Established in 1953, it was one of the most important Brazilian theatre groups in the 1950s and 1960s. Its importance stemmed from the rising of Brazilian nationalism promoted by the Vargas era. It performed works by the likes of , Augusto Boal and Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, before closing in 1972.
History.
The Teatro de Arena was founded in Sāo Paulo in 1953 by It was an alternative form of theater production from the current expensive state of Brazilian theater. Jose Renato was a prominent actor, director and one of the founders whose vision was for the theater and production was to make it more accessible than those productions being put on by the Brazilian Theater Comedy.
The first professional casting the theater company put on was "Tonight is Ours" in 1953 in MAM Halls, Museum of Modern Art. This early company consisted of José Renato, Sérgio Britto, Henrique Becker, Geraldo Mateus, Renata Blaunstein and . After two years of performing in makeshift areas, the company finally inaugurates the room of Rua Theodoro Biama in 1955 which is in a renovated garage in front of the Church of the consolation which is in the middle of São Paulo.
The saving of the theater due to economic reasons was credited to Gianfrancesco Guarnieri. He was a young actor and playwright who graduated from the Teatro Paulista do Estudante. Even though Guarnieri is Italian, he was extremely passionate about the path that Brazilian theater was going on. In 1958, "They Don't Wear Black-Tie", written by Guarneri was a massive success. The success of the production allowed for the space for the beginning of the Seminars of Dramaturgy movement that was to bring new Brazilian authors to the light. Out of this movement, Oduvaldo Vianna Filho and Flávio Migliaccio emerged.
Process of Closing.
The theater had an odd process of falling apart. During the Rio tour of "They Don't Wear Black-Tie," Oduvaldo Vianna Filho and Milton Gonçalves left the company and founded the 1961 movement of Popular Centers of Culture (CPCs), by the National Union of Students - UNE. The next person to leave the theater was José Renato. He moved to Rio in 1962 to be head of direction of the National Theater of Comedy - (TNC).
In 1968 and 1969, Guarnieri left the theater, leaving the work to Boal. These were busy years considering there was an international tour through the United States (New York, Berkeley, San Francisco, Kent, Cleveland, Kansas City, Buffalo, Chapaqua), Peru (Lima), and Mexico (Pueblas, Guanaguato, Guadalajara, Monte Rei, Leon, Porto Si, and Morela) with the "Arena tells of Zumbi" from Guarnieri and Boal, and "Arena tells of Bolivar" from Boal.
In 1971, when Boal was putting together the script for "Arena Conta Bolivar," which did end up banned in Brazil, Boal was arrested and soon after goes into exile. The last production the theater put on was carried out by Núcleo 2 do Arena from 1969. This is when Teatro de Arena passes the reins to the actor Luis Carlos Arutin.
The last two shoes from the theater were Bertolt Brecht's "Night Drums" and Carlos Queiroz Telles "These Intrepid Guys and Their Wonderful Week of Modern Art", however it was presented by Núcleo 2 do Arena. These shows were shown at the São Pedro theater and directed by Fernando Peixoto.
Arena closes its doors completely in 1972 and is bought by the no longer running National Service of Theater - SNT in 1977. As of 1990, the rooms are no longer used to teach theatrical language research processes that add to the cultural life of the region.


Royal Naval Hospital (Hong Kong)

Royal Naval Hospital (Hong Kong) was the Royal Navy's medical facility in the colony.
The RNH began in 1841 in a matshed on the site of the Wellington Barracks on Hong Kong Island. A typhoon destroyed the hospital and was temporarily located on HMS "Minden", a third-rate sailing ship. This ship was replaced by HMS "Alligator" in 1846, a sixth-rate frigate and HMS "Melville", another third-rate sailing ship in 1857.
The hospital returned to shore briefly at the Seamen's Hospital in 1873 and then to the Mount Shadwell, now home to Ruttonjee Hospital until it was destroyed during World War II. The funding for the Seamen's Hospital came from "HMS Melville", which was sold for HK$35,000, after which the proceeds were used to establish the shore facilities.
After the war the RNH was located on two floors of the Queen Mary Hospital. In 1946 the hospital relocated to the War Memorial Nursing Home on the Peak (Mount Kellett Road) until it was closed in 1956. The War Memorial Nursing Home merged with Matilda Hospital to form the Matilda and War Memorial Hospital, later renamed Matilda International Hospital. Naval medical services and patients were transferred to the British Military Hospital, Hong Kong in Kowloon after 1956.


Church of the Holy Trinity (Berat)

The Holy Trinity Church (; ) is a medieval Byzantine church which stands on a hill in the city of Berat in the Kalaja district of Southern Albania.

It is composed of the nave, narthex (entrance area) and the altar alcove. In the church many Byzantine architecture features have been skilfully used such as the inner organization of the space and the decorative and illuminative systems. These features, together with the pyramidal shape, forms and proportions give the church a picturesque appearance. The Byzantine architectural elements in the church have been combined with western architectural elements belonging to the same period.
Inside the church are two columns with reused capitals (thought to have been taken from classical ruins in the city). An inscription inside the church contains the name of Andronicus Paleologus (Governor of the province of Berat from 1302 to 1326), indicating that the church must have been built during the 13th or 14th century with his financial support.

Pacific Electric Building

The historic Pacific Electric Building (also known as the Huntington Building, after the railway’s founder, Henry Huntington, or simply “6th & Main”), opened in 1905 in the core of Los Angeles as the main train station for the Pacific Electric Railway, as well as the company's headquarters; Main Street Station served passengers boarding trains for the south and east of Southern California. In 1925, a second electric rail hub, the Subway Terminal, was opened by Pershing Square to serve the north and west. The building was designed by architect Thornton Fitzhugh. Though not the tallest in Los Angeles, its ten floors enclosed the greatest number of square feet in any building west of Chicago for many decades. Above the train station, covering the lower floors, were five floors of offices; and in the top three was the Jonathan Club, one of the city's leading businessmen's clubs introduced by magnates from the Northeast. After the “Great Merger” of Pacific Electric into Southern Pacific Railroad in 1911, the PE Building became the home of Southern Pacific in Los Angeles.
History.
In 1914, a total of 1,626 Pacific Electric scheduled trains entered or left Los Angeles at Main Street Station in 3262 interurban car trips daily. With the great rise in the number of automobiles in the 1920s, congestion—from the cars, from sharing streets with the cars, from sharing the streets with Los Angeles Railway’s Yellow Cars—often caused PE trains to run late, especially while traveling north on Main Street towards Glendale, and west to Hollywood and Santa Monica. To relieve such problems, in 1922, the California Railroad Commission issued Order No. 9928, which called for the Pacific Electric to build a subway to leave downtown's busy streets. The Subway Terminal Building, a second PE terminal, was then built across downtown at the base of Bunker Hill at 4th and Hill Streets by Pershing Square to serve the subway, which opened December 1, 1925, speeding passenger service considerably to Hollywood, Santa Monica, San Fernando, and Glendale.
Interurban rail service remained the 6th and Main PE Terminal's sole function until 1942. Trains entered the back (east side) on ground-level track from San Pedro Street, loaded and unloaded passengers inside the building concourse, then exited onto Main Street (west side) and turned north or south. (See the attached photograph accompanying this article.) In 1942, the terminal was converted to accommodate the Pacific Electric's growing fleet of buses. Trains continued to enter and use the original concourse on New Year's Day to carry crowds to and from the Tournament of Roses events in Pasadena until 1950 when Northern District (Pasadena–Sierra Madre–Monrovia–Glendora) rail service was abandoned. After that, the PE concourse saw no trains and Main Street tracks were no longer used. Remaining service to Monrovia–Glendora Line, the Harbor, and to Bellflower was provided at the rear of the PE terminal on outdoor passenger loading platforms and stub tracks at the rear (east side) of the PE Terminal. Trains used a ramp up from San Pedro street that crossed Los Angeles street to reach the loading platforms. Passengers walked into the terminal concourse via an enclosed bridge.
Over the next decade, interurban rail routes to Bellflower, the Watts local, and Long Beach and harbor area were abandoned and replaced by motor coaches. The last active route was the Long Beach line. The final "Blimp" multiple unit interurban train to use the terminal (so named for their unusual plump size and round front windows) to Long Beach was on April 9, 1961 and was in MTA green livery: no longer painted the famous and classic Pacific Electric red. MTA Bus service continued to operate from Sixth and Main until 1964. The MTA ran "Freeway Flyer" motor coach service to old PE destinations from the basement of the nearby Greyhound Terminal, and this continued during Rapid Transit District (SCRTD) operations.
Following the closure of the terminal's main floor depot, the former waiting room and bus concourse were converted to a parking garage. With the commercial and social decline of Main Street and the east side of downtown in general, the rented offices on the upper floors of the building became less desirable and gradually emptied out. The building was largely vacant for many years, though it became a popular location for the movie and television industries. Over 400 location shoots have taken place there, including scenes from "Forrest Gump", "LA Confidential," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and interior shots for the 1970s "Streets of San Francisco" TV series."
In 1908, Cole's Pacific Electric Buffet was opened on the lower floor of the building. Cole's claimed to be Los Angeles' oldest restaurant and pub that has been in operation since its founding, although it was closed in 2007 for renovation, reopening in December 2008. It is one of two local establishments which lay claim to having invented the French dip sandwich. Additionally, the structure held the architectural offices of Greene and Greene circa 1905.
In 2005, the building was converted by ICO Group into residential live/work lofts and is occupied by residents. Several commercial tenants have filled the first floor spaces along 6th Street. The original Cole's space was renovated and divided to add another restaurant and bar. The building lobby currently displays a number of artifacts left over from its days as once an exceptionally active interurban rail terminal. "DANGER" warnings are set into the sidewalk at the Main Street location where trains once entered and left the building, remaining as evidence of its original grand purpose.

Nydegg

The Nydegg is a historic section in the Old City of Bern in Bern, Switzerland.
The first expansion of Bern occurred as the city was founded in 1191. At the east end of the central and oldest neighbourhood, the "Zähringerstadt" (Zähringer town), was the Nydegg castle near the banks of the Aare river. The houses that grew up around the castle were the start of the Nydegg section. Around 1268 Nydegg Castle was destroyed, and the city expanded into the area formerly occupied by the castle.
Situated in the northeast of the Aare peninsula, the "Nydegg" together with the "Mattequartier" in the southwest constituted medieval Bern's smallest neighbourhood. Workshops and mercantile activity prevailed in this area, and medieval sources tell of numerous complaints about the ceaseless and apparently nerve-wracking noise of machinery, carts and commerce. The Matte area at the riverside features three artificial channels, through which Aare water was diverted to power three city-owned watermills built in 1360. In the early 20th century, a small hydroelectric plant was built in that location. Nearby, the busy "Schiffländte" (ship landing-place) allowed for the reloading of goods transported by boat up and down the river.

The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali, fierce embodiment of Shakti and the god Shiva's wife, Parvati. Kali has always been popular in Bengal, the birthplace of the labourers who built this temple in 1881. Images of Kali within the temple show her wearing a garland of skulls and ripping out the insides of her victims, and Kali sharing more peaceful family moments with her sons Ganesha and Murugan.
The building is constructed in the style of South Indian Tamil temples common in Tamil Nadu as opposed to the style of Northeastern Indian Kali temples in Bengal, where Her worship is extremely widespread but the style of temple construction differs considerably.
Mismanagement of temple funds.
The Charities Commissioner has barred the temple's chairman Sivakadacham, former chairman R Selvaraju, and secretary Ratha Krishnan Selvakumar from their posts, after the three, who were cheque signatories and approvers for payments, issued more than $1.5 million in uncrossed cheques. Of these, 45 cheques – totalling more than $227,000 – were not issued to the names of the intended recipients of the proceeds. The inquiry also revealed that Ratha had obtained loans of $350,000 without the management committee's approval and with no written loan agreements with the lenders. Cash loans and disbursements of proceeds from the loans were also not properly accounted for in the temple's records.

Built 1936–1939, the yellow brick building is the Neoclassical Functionalist design of Karl Martin Westerberg, even though the classical features of the tall gables facing the public square were significantly reduced in the final design. The architect thought to solve the complex programme by breaking up the volume into three parts to permit daylight to reach the core. Notwithstanding, the building forms a compact volume and renders heavy on its neighbourhood.
Swedish minister for foreign affairs Anna Lindh gave her last speech on the stairs of Medborgarhuset on September 9, 2003, two days before she was assassinated.

Harrespil is the Basque name, that can be translated by "stone circle", given to small megalithic monuments which abounds on mountains of the Basque Country in particular. They are also called baratz, a basque word meaning "garden" and traditionally applied to the prehistoric necropoles.
Gathered in necropoles of 5 to 20 monuments, they appeared during the late Bronze Age (from approximately -1200) but remained used during the Iron Age.
These burials are distinguished from the preceding ones by the recourse to cremation, like in the urnfield culture.
More spectacular by its fitting than by the size of the stones, the harrespil is formed of a rectangular cist made of flat stones containing ashes of the dead, and of a stone circle.
The circle measures about 5 to 6 m in diameter and is made of a great number of medium stones.
The cist, of approximately a meter by 60 cm, consists of 4 side flagstones and a flagstone of cover.
These burials coexisted with tumuli, a little earlier, also sheltering a cist for ashes, but surrounded of stones in bulk. These architectures are sometimes combined, as in "Zaho II" where the harrespil is buried under a mound, delimited by a second stone circle.


La Tumbona House

Casa La Tumbona is a house on the beach in Ostende, a coastal resort in Pinamar Partido in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The house is elevated on pillars and located so close to the sea that the waves at times can wash underneath the house. This can create an illusion of being aboard a ship, as only water can be seen from the windows facing the sea.
The verb "tumbar" in Spanish means to fold or overturn, and can be used for waves that roll in from the sea. The noun "tumbona" can refer to a foldable beach chair.
The house is made of concrete, with distinct cubic forms, and striking angular geometries - all painted red.

Samora Machel Monument

The Samora Machel Monument in Mbuzini, near Komatipoort in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, marks the spot where the plane carrying the then-President of Mozambique crashed in 1986. It resulted in the deaths of President Machel and several Mozambican ministers. It was declared a National Heritage Site in 2006.
The monument was inaugurated by Joaquim Chissano and Nelson Mandela on 19 January 1999. It was constructed at a cost of $240,000 and incorporates some of the wreckage of the plane. Its central feature is 35 tubes of steel, symbolising the number of lives lost in the air crash, that create a wailing sound in the wind.
A planned R11.2 million upgrade was to add access roads, an amphitheater, a helipad and buildings.
In 2006 a nearby library with a collection of books in English and Portuguese was opened. A statue of Machel, donated by Norwegian anti-apartheid artists, was also erected at the site.

Future.
Heikintori has long been in need for renovation. Part of Heikintori belongs to the environment designed by Aarne Ervi, which falls under protection. The renovation was supposed to start in late 2019 and be completed in 2021. The plans included building four floors of apartments on top of Heikintori and dismantling Heikintori's current parking house and replacing it with a 7-floor residential house. The commercial spaces were supposed to be renovated honouring the spirit of Aarne Ervi and not be expanded. The third floor of Heikintori will probably house a kindergarten, and part of Heikintori's roof will act as the kindergarten's yard.
In 2020, Heikintori only had a few stores left, including two restaurants, a bar, a barber's shop and a flea market. The only surviving original store is restaurant Ribis.

In the Abyss

"In the Abyss" is a short story by English writer H. G. Wells, first published in 1896 in "Pearson's Magazine". It was included in "The Plattner Story and Others", a collection of short stories by Wells first published in 1897. The story describes a journey to the ocean bed in a specially-designed metal sphere; the explorer within discovers a civilization of human-like creatures.
Historical background.
The Challenger expedition, arranged by the Royal Society, was the first systematic deep-sea exploration. From 1872 to 1876, HMS "Challenger" surveyed and explored around the world; the physical and chemical qualities of the deep sea were investigated, and biological samples were collected by dredges.
The bathysphere, a spherical deep-sea submersible which Elstead's apparatus seems to resemble, first appeared in the 1930s.
Story summary.
Elstead has invented an apparatus by which a person can travel to great depths and observe the life on the sea bed. It is a steel sphere, about nine feet in diameter, intended to withstand immense pressure. Weights attached to the sphere by a cable take it to the sea bed. The explorer makes observations through the window in the sphere, oxygen inside being replaced by a fictitious "Myers apparatus". A clockwork mechanism cuts the cable after a certain time, and the buoyancy of the sphere takes it back to the surface.
The sphere is to be lowered into the water from the "Ptarmigan", which has sailed to a region where the water is five miles deep. The organization behind the project (perhaps funded by a scientific body, or by Elstead) is not specified.
The details of the sphere, and of Elstead's plan to use it to view the ocean floor, are made clear in the conversations of Elstead and the officers of the "Ptarmigan"; because of the immense pressure at the depth to be explored, the officers have their doubts about the apparatus working to plan, and about Elstead's likelihood of survival.
The sphere does not return on schedule. While the ship's officers wait, "the December sun was now high in the sky, and the heat very considerable." By midnight, they are fearing the worst; then they spot the re-emergence of the sphere. It is eventually retrieved at dawn.
After a week, Elstead has recovered enough to tell his experiences. He relates the eventful descent, lasting several minutes, during which the sphere became unexpectedly hot. On the sea bed, after observing the unusual species of fish and invertebrates, he sees "a strange vertebrated animal... The vertical pitch of its face gave it a most extraordinary resemblance to a human being... It was a biped; its almost globular body was poised on a tripod of two frog-like legs and a long thick tail." This creature, together with others, tow the sphere to a kind of altar in their city; the inhabitants prostrate themselves before Elstead, and chant. He observes this for several hours: eventually the cable breaks and the sphere returns to the surface.
The narrator has talked to eminent scientists, who think such a civilization is quite possible; he further speculates: "We should be known to them, however, as strange, meteoric creatures, wont to fall catastrophically dead out of the mysterious blackness of their watery sky. And not only we ourselves, but our ships, our metals, our appliances, would come raining down out of the night... One can understand, perhaps, something of their behaviour at the descent of a living man..."
Elstead never writes an account of his experience; after making improvements to the sphere, he makes another descent, but (like The Time Traveller in Wells's "The Time Machine"), he does not return from his second adventure.

House of Stevan Mokranjac, Belgrade

House of Stevan Mokranjac in Belgrade is significant as the house where the famous composer Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac lived and worked, during his stay in Belgrade. It is located on the corner of 16, Dositej Street and Gospodar Jevremova.
The house was built as a family house of Jakov Damjanović, building contractor, in 1872. From July 1878 to May 1879, the house was used for housing the humanitarian organization of the English Institute for Serbian Orphans, later the Institute for Serbian Orphans, which was founded by English physician Dr. Henri Ciman after the Serbian-Turkish wars and for whose needs, a garden wing was added next to the building.
In the house, Stevan Stojanović Mokranjac (1856—1914) lived and worked, as the most prominent Serbian composer and choirmaster, teacher and collector of folk melodies with which he enriched art music. He completed his music studies studied in Germany and Italy. He was a representative of musical realism and one of the most important figures in the history of Serbian music at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. highest achievement was reached by his work "Руковети", and one of his most important and most frequently performed spiritual compositions is the "Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom".

The building is one-story, but monumental, with a large yard. The horizontal cornices contribute to the harmonious division of the facade, as well as the pilasters which separate the window openings. The house is a good example of quality construction and craftsmanship realization in residential architecture of Belgrade at the beginning of the eighth decade of the 19th century, when the first urban regulation of this part of the city was carried out and when influences of western European architecture were increasingly accepted in the application of decorative elements. The workroom of the composer is preserved in the interior, with the exhibition of personal belongings.
Due to the great historical person who lived here, but also due to authentically preserved architectural value, House of Stevan Mokranjac was declared a сultural monument (Decision, "Official Gazette of the City of Belgrade" no. 4/83).
