Harry Handelsman (born September 1949) is the founder and CEO of Manhattan Loft Corporation, a London-based property development company.

Early life

Harry Handelsman was born in September 1949, the son of a "well-off Polish financier", Handelsman was born in Munich.  He was educated in Germany, Paris and Canada, and has a master's degree in economics from York University in Toronto.

His father died in 1982, and he then took over running the business, and moved to London in 1983.

Career

Handelsman established London-based Manhattan Loft Corporation in 1992. Since then, he has gone on to re-develop "some of London's most admired buildings", including the Chiltern Firehouse and St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel

Manhattan Loft Corporation developments

Chiltern Firehouse

A collaboration with Andre Balazs, Manhattan Loft Corporation redeveloped the Grade II 19th-century Manchester Square Fire Station into a 26-suite hotel and 200 capacity restaurant. Chiltern Firehouse opened in 2014 after nearly five years of re-development

Chiltern Firehouse was designed in conjunction with Studio KO, and, in addition to its 26 suites, includes bar areas and a restaurant run by former Viajante chef Nuno Mendes – whose cuisine has been described as "unique" and "stylish".

Hackney Fashion Hub
Launched in Spring 2016, Manhattan Loft Corporation collaborated with architect David Adjaye to create a designer fashion outlet district in London's Hackney E9.

St Pancras Renaissance Hotel

Designed by George Gilbert Scott in the 19th century, the former Grand Midland Hotel became derelict in the late 20th-century. Planning permission to re-develop the derelict building was granted to Manhattan Loft Corporation in 2004. The upper levels of the gothic structure were developed into 67 apartments, and a 245-room hotel was opened in 2011 after the ten-year restoration work.
 The St Pancras Renaissance Hotel remains under Handelsman's ownership

Ealing Studios

Ealing Studios, built in 1902, is Britain's oldest film studio.  In the mid-2000s, Handelsman purchased the site along with Fragile Films' Uri Fruchtmann and Barnaby Thompson; all of whom are directors. Manhattan Loft Corporation went on to re-develop the site to include the existing Grade II listed sound stages. Manhattan Loft Corporation remains linked to Ealing Studios as the company is working on the second phase of its restoration and expansion.

Manhattan Loft Gardens

Manhattan Loft Gardens is a 42-storey skyscraper in Stratford, East London.  Described by the Huffington Post as "The most beautiful building in the Western world", it has been designed by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, whose previous projects include the Burj Khalifa.

The double-cantilevered, 135 m tower will include 248 flats, a hotel, a restaurant, and three sky gardens. It is due for completion in 2018.

Awards and recognition

In 2012, it was announced that Handelsman had received an honorary fellowship from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)
Handelsman was listed in the Evening Standard's "Progress 1000" in both 2015 and 2016; a list of London's 1000 most influential people.

Other
Handelsman sits on the board of Artangel, the Southbank Centre and The South London Gallery.

Personal life
His "long-term partner" is Elizabeth Crompton-Batt, the former wife of the late restaurant PR Alan Crompton-Batt, and they have a daughter together. They live in Bayswater, London, with Handelsman's flat tailored by Sarah Featherstone. Handelsman also has a daughter from a previous marriage.

William Hundley (born 1976) is an American artist born in St. Paul, Minnesota, who lives and works in Austin, Texas.

In 2006 he began an ongoing series of photographs that he titled "Entoptic Phenomena" in which he photographs people jumping underneath fabrics and other various materials.  The instant of the jump can be thought of as super ephemeral sculpture, lasting only a few seconds before reverting to their base components.  The resulting photographs appear to have been made by computer manipulation, but Hundley stresses that "they are just photographs" and that there were absolutely no computer applications used in creating the images.  He goes on to say that having "acrobatic models" is the key to the success of the imagery.  A few of his "Entoptic Phenomena" photographs were featured in the 2007 Texas Biennial in which he was awarded the Juror's Choice Award.

In 2008 he started a new series of photographs "w/ cheeseburgers" that went on to become wildly popular or "viral" on the internet, primarily due to the photograph "Chihuahua on Cheeseburgers".

Another series of photographs, entitled "Little Naked Person Storage," consists of photographs of naked people hiding in various places around the average American household.

In an article on Sight Unseen, Hundley is quoted as saying, "My work started with the influence of Erwin Wurm and Maurizio Cattelan, these absurdists.  I love the practical-joke nature of it; if I can make humor and beautiful aesthetics come together, that's the biggest powerhouse I can imagine."

His photography has been featured in numerous publications and countless blogs and websites.  In 2007 Hundley was nominated for Best Artist in the Austin Critics Table Awards.

Though not initially mentioned in the credits, a few of his ideas were re-created in the music video "Heaven Can Wait" by Charlotte Gainsbourg featuring Beck.  Eventually the director, Keith Schofield, contacted Hundley to apologize for not crediting his work as "inspiration" for portions of the video.

Although most widely known for his photography, Hundley's work also includes sculptures and installation and has been exhibited across the US and in Berlin.  Recent works have focused on assembled collages and a series of tribal inspired masks with the idea of gathering objects from contemporary culture and using them in a "tribal" way.

He recently contributed to the TEDx event in Austin, TX in February 2011.

In 2011, a Hundley photograph is to be published in Adbusters magazine and he will also have an exhibition at Show & Tell Gallery in Toronto, Canada.

Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS (born 1952) is a British sculptor who has produced many acclaimed works, among which are several designs for British coinage and the memorial statue of Princess Diana at Kensington Palace in London unveiled on her 60th birthday in 2021.

Biography
Born in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, Rank-Broadley was educated at Epsom School of Art (1970–74) tutored by Bruce McLean, and Slade School of Fine Art, UCL (1974–76) with Reg Butler as his Director of Studies, Michael Kenny and John Davies as tutors, where he was awarded the Boise Travelling Scholarship. He then continued his studies at the British School at Rome. On his return to the U.K. he started as a professional sculptor specialising in low relief sculpture. He has assisted the sculptors Reg Butler and Ralph Brown RA.

A member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors (Associate 1989, Fellow 1994), and a Brother of the Art Workers Guild (1995), he was made a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in 1996 and granted the Freedom of the City of London.  He was elevated to the Livery in 2009. In 2010 he was appointed as Trustee to The Prince's School of Traditional Arts. His works are in the permanent collections of the British Museum, London's National Portrait Gallery, the Ashmolean Museum, Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge, St Paul's Cathedral, the Rijksmuseum, and several others.

He  lives and works in Gloucestershire. He is married to Hazel and has one daughter.

Sculpture

Jonathan Jones  has noted Rank-Bradley's "taste for the nude". Rank-Broadley writes, "The choice of the male figure / nude as a dominant motif was made quite early when I realised that the female nude had, to a large extent, been robbed of its power by the commercial world of advertising, whereas the male nude still retained a power that could excite, grab attention and shock."

In 1996 he won the Prize for his bronze maquette for Dante's Gates of Hell, at  XI Biennale Dantesca, Ravenna, Italy.

In 2007, the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum was dedicated, containing two large figure groups, comprising fourteen figures, each one and a quarter times life size, by Rank-Broadley as part of its centre piece. For this work he received the 2008 Marsh Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture.

In 2010 he executed a memorial to Dean Colet, founder of St Paul's School, London, which can be seen in St Paul's Cathedral in London.
Other major works are St Matthew at St Matthew's Church, Northampton, H M Queen in Garter robes at the Supreme Court, Charles James Fox at Chertsey, the Royal Anglian Regiment's memorial, Imperial War Museum Duxford.
A major patron was the publisher Felix Dennis for whom Rank-Broadley has sculpted the figures of Josephine Baker, Billie Holiday and "Lord Rochester, his Whore and a Monkey" for his Garden of Heroes and Villains.

In 2018, Rank-Broadley completed a portrait bust of the Welsh poet RJ Arkhipov. Arkhipov's experience with the sculptor inspired his poem "The Sculptor".

On 10 December 2017 it was announced Rank-Broadley had been commissioned by the sons of Diana, Princess of Wales to execute a statue in her memory. Its completion was initially expected in 2019 but its unveiling in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace was delayed until 1 July 2021. In his review, Jonathan Jones noted its "aesthetic awfulness ... Flat, cautious realism softened by a vague attempt to be intimate make this a spiritless and characterless hunk of nonsense."

Coins and medals
In 1997 he won the Royal Mint competition for a new effigy of Elizabeth II to appear on the obverse of circulated British and some Commonwealth coinage from 1998 onward.  Later that year, he also won a Royal Mint competition for his design of the Queen Mother Centennial crown coin. In 2002 his design of the reverse of a British Five Pound coin was issued. He also designed the conjoint portrait of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip on the 2007 crown coin, celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary. It is the third time Rank-Broadley has designed both the obverse and reverse of a single coin. More recently he has been commissioned to design and model the gold kilo coin celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

In 2012 he was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Vicenza Numismatica.

Die Große Neeberger Figur ist eine Plastik im Skulpturenpark Magdeburg in der Magdeburger Altstadt und im Altenburger Schlosspark neben dem Lindenau-Museum.

Plastik
Die Plastik wurde vom Bildhauer Wieland Förster geschaffen und entstand mit mehreren Überarbeitungen in den Jahren 1971 bis 1974 und 1997. Sie gilt als eines der wichtigsten Werke der Bildhauerei in der DDR. Das Werk besteht aus Bronze und hat eine Höhe von 3,18 Meter. Es stellt eine Frau mit empor gestreckten Armen dar, wobei die Proportionen deutlich überstreckt sind. Die Figur ist nur mit einem Stück Stoff bekleidet, das Gesicht und Schultern bedeckt und gerafft auf den Brüsten aufliegt. Die "Körperlandschaft" des Akts ist so in besonderer Weise betont. Die Frau wirkt wie im Ausziehen erstarrt.

Die Plastik stellt Erotik und Erstarrung dar und ist somit Ausdruck sowohl für Liebe als auch für Tod.

Ngāwini Yates (1852–1853 – 19 July 1910) was a part-Māori New Zealander, who was a storekeeper, farmer and businesswoman in the far north of New Zealand in the later part of the 19th century.

Early life
Ngāwini Yates, also known as Annie, was born Ngāwini Murray around 1852 or 1853 at Pukepoto, near Kaitaia, in the far north of New Zealand. She was the oldest of 15 children born to John Murray, a shipwright who had settled at Pukepoto having immigrated from Europe. Her mother, Kateraina Te Kone, was a Māori of the Te Rarawa iwi (tribe) who also had connections to the Te Aupōuri iwi.

Commercial activity
In December 1880, at Mangonui, she married Samuel Yates, a storekeeper who had his premises in the town and a store at Pārengarenga Harbour, close to North Cape. The couple purchased or leased a significant amount of land across the northern part of the Aupouri Peninsula, a total of about 150,000 acres. It is possible that this was achieved on the back of Ngāwini Yates' relationships with her iwi. On this land, much of which the couple converted to pasture, livestock, in the form of cattle, sheep and horses, was stocked. Cottages for their farmer workers were erected, along with other sheds and structures. A jetty was built to allow goods and livestock to be loaded onto ships for transportation south to Auckland.

A trading store and homestead was built at Pāua, on the southern coastline of the Pārengarenga Harbour. Here the couple had eight children, which she primarily raised and educated. The Yates also played a role in the Kauri gum industry; at its peak, over 300 gum diggers were working on the property extracted from their land and traded in their store.

Ngāwini Yates was heavily involved in the running of the vast Yates property, which employed local Māori as shearers and musterers, and her influence increased as her husband, over 20 years her senior, aged. A skilled horse rider, she often helped in the mustering of livestock. She even developed a distinct breed of cattle.  Samuel Yates, his health in decline, died on 14 September 1900, at the start of a journey by ship to Auckland. She oversaw his interment in the Jewish section of the Symonds Street Cemetery in Auckland.

Later life
Despite the death of her husband, Yates stayed on at their house in Pāua and continued to successfully run the property as well as the store. Under her charge, the size of the Yates sheep herd was increased until it exceeded 5,000 head. She died there on 29 July 1910 and was buried at Pārengarenga. The portion of the property that was leased was restored to its Te Aupōuri owners while the remainder, about 68,000 acres, was sold.

Kenyanthropus platyops är det namn som har givits åt ett fossil av en förmänniska som upptäcktes av Meave Leakey 1999. Namnet betyder "den plattansiktade människan från Kenya". K. platyops är den enda arten som är beskriven i sitt släkte. Den fossila skallen har beteckningen KNM-WT 40000, och misstänks av många paleoantropologer vara ett starkt deformerat exemplar av Australopithecus afarensis som är känd från samma område och tid, snarare än ett helt eget släkte.

Thord Strömberg, född 1943 i Vaikijaur i Jokkmokks socken, död 13 september 2020,  var docent i historia vid Örebro universitet.

Biografi
Efter examen från lärarseminariet i Luleå anställdes han som folkskollärare på Almby skola i Örebro. Arbetet varvades med akademiska studier och 1984 disputerade han i historia vid Uppsala universitet på en avhandling om efterkrigstidens mark- och bostadspolitik i Örebro, Norrköping och Karlstad.

Strömberg anställdes som universitetslektor vid högskolan i Örebro 1985 (som 1999 blev universitet) och pensionerades 2008. Han mottog högskolans pedagogiska pris 1993, var huvudhandledare för fem doktorander och tjänstgjorde i tre omgångar som prefekt vid institutionen. När högskolan 1997 ansökte om universitetsstatus fick han uppdraget att författa ansökan.

Forskning
Efter disputationen arbetade Strömberg i första hand med att utveckla och bredda sin doktorsavhandlings tema, mark- och bostadspolitik. Av många publiceringar inom detta område är antagligen bidraget i boken Socialdemokratins samhälle det mest spridda och citerade. Boken är utgiven på såväl svenska som amerikanska och ryska förlag.

Strömberg var också en av initiativtagarna till forskargruppen Centrum för urbana och regionala studier. Där utvecklades en mångvetenskaplig forskningsprofil med god extern finansiering och ett väl utvecklat internationellt samarbete. Till forskargruppen knöts i två omgångar en forskarskola med ett tjugotal doktorander i skilda ämnen.

I boken Makt och medborgare: Örebro under 1900-talet, som blev universitetets bidrag till stadens 750-årsjubileum, sammanfattade Strömberg den stora mängd ny kunskap som blivit resultatet av den egna och andras mångåriga lokalhistoriskt inriktade forskning.

Hans populärvetenskapliga verksamheten administrerades i handelsbolaget "Historisk Text", som Thord Strömberg drev tillsammans med livskamraten Gunnela Björk.

Le genre Utricularia, les utriculaires, est le genre de plantes carnivores qui compte le plus grand nombre d'espèces, soit environ 180. La plupart de celles-ci sont aquatiques. Le genre appartient à la famille des Lentibulariaceae. Leur nom provient de latin , « petite outre », par allusion à la forme des pièges à insectes que portent certaines espèces.

Description

Ce sont des plantes généralement dépourvues de racines. Selon les espèces, elles vivent en épiphytes dans une atmosphère humide, sur un sol humide ou dans un milieu aquatique.

Elles produisent deux types de feuilles :
 des feuilles à rôle photosynthétique,
 des feuilles souterraines ou subaquatiques, démunies de pigments et en forme d'outre, dont la taille est de l'ordre du millimètre ; elles permettent la capture des proies par aspiration (préférentiellement du zooplancton du type  Gastrotricha, Rotifères, puces d'eau et copépodes consommant des micro-algues sur les rameaux et les pièges).
Le piège est fermé par une sorte de clapet. L'ouverture est déclenchée au contact des poils sensitifs situés autour de ce clapet. Ce type de piège est dit actif. En 2011, une équipe du Laboratoire interdisciplinaire de physique (LIPhy) décrypte à l'aide d'une caméra haute cadence le processus mécanique permettant à l'utriculaire, de prendre au piège en un millième de seconde les petits animaux qui s'en approchent. La description a été publiée dans la revue Proceedings of the Royal Society.

Étymologie
Du latin utriculus, diminutif de uter, outre, cornuta, « cornue ; cornée », en référence aux petits sacs que portent les espèces de ce genre sur les segments des feuilles (ou sur les ramifications des branches, selon l'interprétation), et à l'éperon en forme de corne que porte l'arrière des fleurs.

Génome
Les utriculaires sont les angiospermes dont le génome est le plus compact, inférieur à 100 millions de paires de bases. Le nombre de leurs gènes est pourtant comparable à celui des autres plantes à fleurs. En conséquence, la fraction de leur génome qui est non codante est très limitée, de l'ordre de 3 à 5 %.

Abominations of Desolation, è il terzo demo del gruppo musicale death metal statunitense Morbid Angel inciso nell'aprile del 1986 e rimasto inedito sino alla pubblicazione da parte dell'etichetta discografica Earache Records nel 1991.

Il disco

Registrazione
La registrazione di questo lavoro fu effettuata dopo che la band ebbe trovato un accordo con la Goreque Records, una piccola label gestita da David Vincent che all'epoca non faceva ancora parte del gruppo. L'album venne prodotto dallo stesso Vincent in collaborazione con Bill Metoyer, ingegnere del suono e produttore in forze alla Metal Blade.

Tuttavia l'etichetta reputò scarsa la qualità della produzione e anche il chitarrista Trey Azagthoth non rimase soddisfatto da quanto realizzato a livello esecutivo. Egli ritenne che i brani, per il loro potenziale, avrebbero dovuto aver ben altre sonorità. In alcune interviste il batterista Mike Browning sostenne che questa idea fosse stato inculcata ad Azagthoth da David Vincent, il quale lo avrebbe voluto convincere a unirsi a lui in una nuova band.

Edizioni
Questo lavoro rimase dunque inedito fino a settembre 1991 quando la Earache Records lo pubblicò in CD, musicassetta e su disco in vinile da 12". La band autorizzò questa uscita per contrastare il dilagante fenomeno dei bootleg, alcuni di qualità talmente elevata da sembrare delle vere e proprie produzioni originali.
Le contraffazioni più celebri furono l'edizione giapponese in vinile dalla Satanic Records e quella della britannica Headache Records, entrambe del 1991. Esistono però delle ristampe originali: quella su audiocassetta del 1994, ad opera della polacca Metal Mind Productions e quella del 2008 in formato CD edita in Argentina da Del Imaginario Discos.

Il disco è comunque ritenuto dalla band soltanto un demo, come dichiarato da Azagthoth in varie interviste. Ciò causò alcune divergenze d'opinione con Mike Browning, creando un vero e proprio "caso Abominations of Desolation".

Canzoni
Alcune delle canzoni qui incluse erano già presenti sul demo Scream Forth Blasphemy (Chapel of Ghouls, Unholy Blasphemies, Abominations e Hellspawn), inoltre tutte le tracce, con l'eccezione di Demon Seed, furono in seguito rimaneggiate e reinserite su altri album.
The Invocation / Chapel of Ghouls, The Gate / Lord of all Fevers e Welcome to Hell, vennero rielaborate nel 1989 per Altars of Madness, rispettivamente coi titoli Chapel of Ghouls, Lord of all Fevers & Plague e Evil Spells.
Unholy Blasphemies, Abominations (presente anche sul demo successivo) e Azagthoth, re-intitolata The Ancient Ones, furono incise nuovamente su Blessed Are the Sick del 1991.
Angel of Disease apparve in una versione non molto differente su Covenant (1993) e Hellspawn divenne Hellspawn: the Rebirth su Formulas Fatal to the Flesh (1998).

Composizioni
Le musiche di questo lavoro vennero tutte composte da Trey Azagthoth seguendo degli stilemi orientati a una estremizzazione del thrash metal, nell'intento di creare delle sonorità ancora più violente di quanto proposto dalle band allora considerate le più estreme in ambito metal, quali Possessed, Slayer e Venom.
Le ritmiche sono molto veloci, i riff di chitarra vengono eseguiti con distorsioni pesanti e costruiscono delle strutture variegate, impreziosite da assoli intricati e contorti.
Il cantato rimane sempre su delle tonalità basse e gutturali, una sorta di screaming furioso e abrasivo.

I testi, anch'essi concepiti da Azagthoth, sono spesso blasfemi e traggono ispirazione dal Necronomicon di H. P. Lovecraft e dalle divinità delle mitologia mesopotamica.

Titolo
"L'abominio della devastazione", "abomination of desolation" in inglese, è un passaggio biblico riscontrabile nel Libro di Daniele e citato da Gesù nel Vangelo secondo Marco:

Il titolo potrebbe anche essere tratto dal poema in prosa The Abomination of Desolation scritto nel 1929 da Clark Ashton Smith, autore di racconti horror e di fantascienza.

Libretto
La copertina dell'album ha uno sfondo grigio con al centro il logo dei Morbid Angel in varie tonalità di arancione, sotto di esso appare il titolo del album e l'anno 1986. Nell'angolo destro superiore vi è una banda trasversale nera con la dicitura:

Il libretto si compone di quattro pagine, le due interne riportano un'illustrazione demoniaca tratta dal demo Scream Forth Blasphemy, sotto la quale viene riportata la frase:  ispirata al Ciclo di Cthulhu di H. P. Lovecraft e contenuta nel testo della canzone Angel of Disease. Sul retro della copertina è invece possibile leggere soltanto i titoli delle tracce e i nomi dei disegnatori della stessa. Nessun'altra informazione viene riportata, nemmeno i musicisti che parteciparono alla registrazione. Questi ultimi però vengono citati nella biografia sul sito ufficiale della band.

Der Steilkegel ist die genormte Form eines Werkzeugkegels zum Spannen verschiedener Werkzeuge in der Hauptspindel einer Werkzeugmaschine. Der Steilkegel ist genormt in der DIN ISO 7388 Teil 1.

Haupteinsatzgebiet sind Fräsmaschinen.

Steilkegelschäfte haben folgende Vorteile:
 Durch ausreichend großen einfachen Kegelwinkel von 8,297° (= 8° 17´ 50´´) keine Selbsthemmung (im Gegensatz zum Morsekegel, der nur etwa 1° 26′ bis etwa 1° 30′ einfachen Kegelwinkel aufweist), dadurch einfacher Werkzeugwechsel ohne Klemmen. Dies ist vor allem beim automatischen Werkzeugwechsel von großer Bedeutung.
 Kleiner Spannweg, dadurch relativ kurze Spannzeit und relativ genaue Werkzeugposition.
 Hohe Biegesteifigkeit durch den kurzen Abstand zwischen Schneide und Spindellager (kurze Baulänge).

Die Größenangaben SK... (vgl. folgende Tabelle) entsprechen als Nennmaß nur sehr grob dem größten Innendurchmesser des Kegels der Aufnahme, etwa in der Fräsmaschine. Dieser beträgt nach DIN 2080 in mm:

Steilkegel als Werkzeugaufnahmen werden typisch aus Einsatzstahl mit einer Zugfestigkeit (im Kern) von 900 N/mm2 gefertigt. Die Einsatzhärtung erfolgt verzugsarm bis in eine Tiefe von 0,6–0,8 mm auf Härte 58 ± 2 HRC. Der eng tolerierte Steilkegel wird (außen) präzisionsgeschliffen bis auf Ra ≤ 0,2.

Weitere Kegel

Eine Weiterentwicklung des Steilkegels ist der Hohlschaftkegel.

Bohrfutterkegel DIN 238 gibt es in folgenden Nenngrößen mit der größten Kegelöffnung (Innendurchmesser) am Bohrfutter in mm:

Der Platz ohne Namen (Eigenschreibweise PoN) wird inoffiziell auch Glücksburger Platz genannt. Durch ihn verläuft die Grenze von Altona-Nord zu Eimsbüttel. In den Platz münden die Eimsbütteler Straße, Glücksburger Straße, Ophagen, Pinneberger Weg, Sandweg und Sophienallee.

Die Stadt Hamburg hat den Platz lange sich selbst überlassen und nicht einmal mit einem offiziellen Namen oder einer Beschilderung ausgestattet. Deshalb gibt es eine Nachbarschaftsinitiative, die versucht den Platz wiederzubeleben und das Miteinander zu fördern.

Anbindung an den ÖPNV
Der Platz ohne Namen ist gut mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen. Der Platz liegt etwa 5 Minuten vom Bahnhof Emilienstraße entfernt und ist über die Fruchtallee, die Charlottenstraße, die Sophienallee und den Pinneberger Weg zu erreichen. Von der Bushaltestelle Alsenplatz (Buslinien 20/25) erreicht man den Platz in 6 Minuten. Von der Busstation Langenfelder Straße (Buslinien 183/283) benötigt man 5 Minuten.

Kultur am Platz ohne Namen
2014 nahm die Nachbarschaftsinitiative an einem Online-Wettbewerb des Fernsehsenders arte teil, um die britische Indie-Rockband Maxïmo Park für ein Hauskonzert an den Platz ohne Namen zu holen. Obwohl das Online-Voting gewonnen wurde, entschied sich die arte-Jury gegen den PoN.

James Pipes (November 10, 1840 – December 1, 1928) was an American soldier who fought with the Union Army in the American Civil War. Pipes received his country's highest award for bravery during combat, the Medal of Honor, for actions taken on July 2, 1863 during the Battle of Gettysburg.

Civil War service
On August 18, 1862, Pipes enlisted with a volunteer unit from Greene County that would become part of the 140th Pennsylvania Infantry. This unit was created by five men in western Pennsylvania, among them James J. Purman who would go on to win the Medal of Honor alongside Pipes. When the 140th was mustered, Pipes was ranked a sergeant, and Purman a second lieutenant.

In 1863, the 140th Pennsylvania Infantry fought in the Battle of Gettysburg. On the first day of battle, July 1, Pipes and Purman were on a path of retreat when they doubled back to help save a wounded soldier. After getting the soldier to safety, both men were shot in the legs. Pipes was captured by the Confederates, but was liberated by Union troops the next morning. After spending some time in a Philadelphia hospital, Pipes was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. He returned to the field in November.

After Gettysburg, Pipes served in the Siege of Petersburg where he was promoted to captain in June 1864. On August 24, Pipes was commanding a group of soldiers guarding a section of enemy train tracks and was attacked by enemy troops. As he commanded his troops' retreat, his right arm was shot and had to be amputated that night. He was hospitalized through November, and was discharged for disability in February 1865.

Medal of Honor citation

Personal life
After the war, Pipes moved to Wheeling, West Virginia, where his family had relocated to during the war. In December 1869 he received an artificial arm. The following year he married Martha Rowena Purdy and had five children by her.

Pipes died of pneumonia in 1928 and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Aalborg (kiejtése kb.: ólborg ) kikötőváros Dániában. Neve 1948 és 1984 között az új helyesírás szerint hivatalosan Ålborg volt, de a lakosság ellenállása miatt visszanevezték. 123 432 lakosával az ország negyedik legnépesebb települése. Az azonos nevű Aalborg község és Nordjylland régió székhelye. Evangélikus püspökség központja.

Földrajz
Északkelet-Jyllandon, az itt csak 630 m széles Limfjord déli partján található. A Limfjord túlsó oldalával és a tőle 6,3 km-re fekvő Nørre-Sundlyval két híd köti össze.

Népesség

Történelem
A város területe bizonyosan több, mint ezer éve lakott, és kedvező fekvése miatt kereskedelmi központ volt. A város első említése (Alabu) egy 1040-ben vert pénzérmén látható. A középkorban folyamatosan fejlődött, és újabb lendületet kapott, amikor 1516-ban monopóliumot kapott a sózott hering kereskedelmére. 1342-ben kapott városi kiváltságokat, püspökségét 1554-ben alapították.

A 19. század végén külföldi kereskedelme a 60000, a belföldi a 25000 tonnát meghaladta. Kereskedelmi flottája 104 hajóból állt. Lakosainak száma 1890-ben 19 500, 1955-ben 111 000 volt.

Gazdaság
Aalborg napjainkban is fontos ipari és kereskedelmi központ, jóllehet az elmúlt években számos meghatározó iparág hagyta el a várost vagy csőd, vagy a termelés külföldre költöztetése miatt.

Itt van a Danish Distillers nevű szeszipari cég központja, amely az Aalborg Akvavit nevű termékéről híres. Ez a cég Skandinávia legnagyobb égetett szesz előállítója és a világ legnagyobb akvavit gyártója. 2015 tavaszán a termelést Norvégiába (Oslo mellé) költöztetik. Aalborgban a gyár helyén egy élményközpont és egy új ízeket kifejlesztő mini lepárlóüzem marad.

A távközlési iparág az Aalborgi Egyetem kutatási potenciáljára támaszkodik.

Az Aalborg Industries a világ legnagyobb hajózási gőzfejlesztő gyártója.

Kaplica pod wezwaniem Męki Pańskiej, zwana Czartoryskich, pierwotnie kapitularz – rzymskokatolicka świątynia o charakterze zabytkowym, należąca do parafii archikatedralnej św. Stanisława BM i św. Wacława w Krakowie. Jest jedną z kaplic publicznych bazyliki archikatedralnej św. Stanisława BM i św. Wacława w Krakowie na Wawelu. Znajduje się w przyziemiu wieży Zegarowej, przy północnej nawie bocznej katedry, na zachód od sieni, prowadzącej do kapitularza.

Z początku kaplica pełniła funkcję kapitularza katedralnego, przeniesionego w XVII w. do osobnego budynku. Na mauzoleum rodowe Czartoryskich zaadaptowano ją w XIX w. Wówczas także przebito wejście do pomieszczenia po dawnej kaplicy Hinczy z Rogowa, w której to zrobiono zejście do Grobów Królewskich.

Historia
Wybudowaną ok. 1364 r. wieżę zegarową przeznaczono na kapitularz w 1420 r. W 2. ćwierci XV w. pomieszczenie nakryto sklepieniem, a z zewnątrz dolną kondygnację wieży pokryto kamiennym laskowaniem. Kapitularz przeniesiono do nowego budynku ok. 1603 r. W latach 1873–1884 wnętrze przekształcono na kaplicę sumptem księcia Władysława Czartoryskiego, według projektu Teofila Żebrawskiego. Wówczas postawiono obecny ołtarz, na mensie którego ustawiono nastawę w formie tryptyku, wykonaną przez Władysława Brzostowskiego. Wykorzystał on przy tym rzeźby Stanisława Stwosza, pochodzące z tzw. tryptyku Jana Olbrachta z 1501 r. (kaplica Jana Olbrachta), a pozyskane przez księcia Władysława Czartoryskiego. Epitafium Czartoryskiego wykonał Antoni Madeyski. Kolejnej, acz ostatniej przebudowy dokonał architekt Zygmunt Hendel w 1906 r. W 1909 r. Karol Maszkowski wykonał obecną polichromię sklepienia, a rok później wstawiono kratę projektu Zygmunta Hendla.

Architektura
Bryłę kaplicy tworzy kondygnacja dolna wieży Zegarowej na kwadratowym rzucie. Elewacja pokryta jest kamiennym laskowaniem. Do wnętrza prowadzi neogotycka krata z posążkiem Matki Boskiej z Dzieciątkiem. Przy ścianie północnej znajduje się ołtarz. W tryptyku umieszczone są późnogotyckie rzeźby. W części środkowej usytuowano ukrzyżowanego Jezusa Chrystusa oraz Najświętszą Maryję Pannę, św. Jana Ewangelistę, św. Stanisława ze Szczepanowa i św. Piotra Apostoła, polecających Ukrzyżowanemu klęczącego króla Jana I Olbrachta. Na skrzydłach umiejscowiono sceny Męki Pańskiej. Na ścianie wschodniej znajduje się epitafium księcia Władysława Czartoryskiego i wejście do Grobów Królewskich, natomiast na zachodniej otwór okienny. Kaplica nakryta jest sklepieniem gwiaździstym, pokryte polichromią. W zwornikach znajdują się herby Polski, kapituły krakowskiej i Dębno kard. Zbigniewa Oleśnickiego.

Il Professor Zapotec è un personaggio immaginario dei fumetti della Disney ideato dall'autore e disegnatore italiano Massimo De Vita nel 1979. Appare per la prima volta in Topolino e l'enigma di Mu. È apparso come protagonista o comprimario in centinaia di storie a fumetti realizzate in vari paesi del mondo.

Caratteristiche
Di professione archeologo, vive a Topolinia e dirige il Museo Archeologico della città. Coinvolge Topolino e Pippo (e talvolta anche Indiana Pipps) in molte avventure in giro per il mondo alla ricerca di antichi manufatti perduti, o per chiarire grandi misteri della storia. Le sue ricerche sono inoltre spesso il punto di partenza per i viaggi nel tempo di Topolino e Pippo, dal 1985, anno in cui gli viene affiancato il Professor Marlin.

Zapotec ha barba e capelli bianchi, indossa solitamente un completo elegante di colore verde o, in rari casi, un camice bianco (questo di solito è prerogativa del professor Marlin, che è più uno scienziato). Come il professor Enigm, anche lui è molto intelligente ma molto saggio e gentile. Il nome del personaggio ricorda l'omonima civiltà precolombiana degli Zapotechi oppure potrebbe essere il risultato dell'anagramma del cognome boemo Zátopek, portato alla fama dal maratoneta cecoslovacco Emil Zátopek. Sulla sua storia personale non viene mai detto molto: nella storia Topolino e il guasto temporale (1994) afferma di non aver mai avuto il tempo di crearsi una famiglia, tuttavia in quella stessa avventura si scopre che diventerà nonno di un fisico, Zapotec Junior (inoltre nella storia Topolino e l'affare dei guerrieri d'argilla ha un nipote "di zio" chiamato Cirillo, studente universitario).

Collabora spesso con il professor Marlin, di cui è grande amico, ma i due hanno la tendenza a discutere e litigare di continuo: si va dalle accuse di reciproca incompetenza scientifica fino a questioni più frivole (cucina, calcio, musica, ecc). I ricorrenti battibecchi spesso sono la causa di un viaggio con la macchina del tempo per dirimere la questione (in alcuni casi, quando Zapotec e Marlin sono nei paraggi, anche i loro colleghi scienziati sembravano sviluppare la medesima litigiosità, come si vede ad esempio in Topolino e il mistero del mundial scritta da Massimo Marconi nel 1986 o Archimede e Pico nemici provvisori). Ama la musica classica, soprattutto le opere liriche di Mozart (apprezza anche, per associazione di idee, le palle di Mozart). Disprezza la musica moderna, soprattutto il rock and roll, molto amato invece da Marlin (Topolino e l'eredità di Mozart scritta da Bruno Sarda nel 1991). Tifa Topolinia, la squadra di calcio della città, passione non condivisa da Marlin. La storia Topolino e lo strappo cronospaziale (1993) di Alessandro Sisti ce lo mostra in un possibile futuro, ormai invecchiato: non si dedica più all'archeologia ma alla ricerca di intelligenza extraterrestre.

La macchina del tempo

Zapotec spesso necessita della macchina del tempo di Marlin per le sue ricerche, ma raramente viaggia nel tempo di persona: di solito demanda a Topolino e Pippo l'aspetto "avventuroso" della ricerca.

La prima apparizione della macchina del tempo è in Topolino e il segreto della Gioconda pubblicato sul n. 1555 di Topolino del 15 settembre 1985. Le poche volte che si reca nel passato, lo fa perché vuole conoscere "dal vivo" i suoi personaggi storici preferiti, come Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart o Pablo Picasso o per cause di "forza maggiore", come in Topolino e il mistero dei Dolmen (Topolino n. 1588 del 1986).
