title: Cornelis Coning

text:
Cornelis Coning or Koning (1601 – 3 April 1671), was an engraver and mayor of Haarlem.

Biography
He was born in Haarlem as the son of Hendrick Hendricksz and Neeltje Soeteman who married Catharina Regoot in 1632. He was also known as Coningh or Koninck and engraved oval portrait prints of religious figures.  These were mostly in collaboration with Samuel Ampzing, who wrote many poems to accompany them. He is best known today for his portrait painted by Frans Hals in the collection of the Allentown Art Museum. He was also painted by Hals again as the lieutenant standing in the schutterstuk The Officers of the St George Militia Company in 1639 between the captains Michiel de Wael and Florens Pietersz van der Hoef. Coning is wearing a white sash indicating his position as head of the White vendel of the St. Adrian's schutterij 1636–1639, but since he later served in the St. Joris schutterij as captain from 1642 to 1651 he probably asked to be included in their commemorative group portrait. His brother Hendrick is also portrayed in the same painting. He had served the previous period in the St. George militia, but would become lieutenant in the St. Adrian militia for the next period of service.

He died in Haarlem 3 April 1671, and later the same year his wife died on 7 September 1671.

With nothing else going on for her, Lani holds on to her American dream.

One night, Chino receives a phone call from Sammy asking him to come back to Manila to meet his new sister-in-law. Chino, together with Gwen, excitedly heads back to Manila to be introduced to the new bride.

title: Zoltán Zubornyák

text:
Zoltán Zubornyák (born 9 September 1961) is a Hungarian actor, culture manager, theatre manager, director, volunteer, art director.

Culture manager
He has been managing the Ferencváros Cultural Centre, a venue staging numerous pieces; hosting many concerts, alongside exhibitions and various courses, since 2004, for which reason he is also responsible for managing the following institutions:

Local History Collection

This institution helps gain insight into the history of Ferencváros named after Emperor Francis I on 4 December 1792; collects and processes written material that still exists, as well as artefacts. The Local Government of Ferencváros purchased an apartment located in a building under Pipa Street 4 back in 1997, which was transformed and made suitable for storing the material collected up till this point, as well as for organising exhibitions.

József Attila Memorial Place

The great Hungarian and European poet Attila József was born in Ferencváros. A memorial room was set up in his honour and to commemorate the poet at Gát Street 3, where visitors had the opportunity to gain insight into the life and works of the poet. However, this space proved insufficient, which is why the management of the institution – hand in hand with the Local Government of the 9th District – set up this exhibition in a space double its original size and also extended its contents, which was ceremoniously opened on 11 April 2002, the Day of Poetry.

Ferencváros Pince Gallery

This Gallery was opened in 1967 pursuant to the efforts of Zoltán Xantus. According to the intentions of the official cultural policy of this era, the Gallery assumed a sort of vent function in the cultural life of Budapest. As a substitute for the blacklisted Industrial Plan exhibitions, this is where the upcoming generation of young artists had the opportunity to organise their exhibitions dubbed avant-garde. Exhibitions are organised at this Gallery to this day, which assumes the task of presenting every relevant school of contemporary fine and applied art. Its other key role involves introducing young professional artists making their debut to the audience and the general public. The past 17 years has demonstrated that the concept was indeed a good one, as a result of which the Gallery evolved into a popular and prestigious exhibition hall.

Festival of Ferencváros

Open-air performances were first organised on Bakáts Square in 1993. Various genres of chamber music pieces were staged back then. The audience deemed that these pieces were undoubtedly successful, which was also widely publicised. This excellent reception and exceptional interest shown lead to the idea of launching the summer festival organised each year.

This event has been called Ferencváros Festival of Games since 1994. Initially, the programme mainly featured classical and pop concerts, chamber and symphony orchestra concerts, whilst productions created by other theatre workshops were invited as guest performers on the stage erected. The programme has since become more diverse. Later on, the programme extended to include dance and ballet performances, as well as musical performances specifically designed by the Festival for this space. An all-encompassing performing arts festival eventually unfolded. This programme has been called Ferencváros Festival since 2007.

During the many years of his directorship he designed and directed numerous concerts, theatrical performances, exhibitions, as well as various open-air programmes with the help of my 41 associated employees.

Several tens of thousands of people have visited our exhibitions and around 10,000 people visited the Ferencváros Festival in 2010, whilst each season a total of 10–12,000 people come along to pieces staged at the Pince Theatre (14 pieces per month on average).

Theatre manager

He was the director of Jászai Mari Theatre for 5 years (1996–2001).

Pince Theatre

In January 2007 Pince Theatre (a small theatre operating from the cellar of a building in the very heart of the city) set the aim of following in the footsteps of the legendary creative workshop that unfolded during the 60s and 70s. The creative and cultural approach of the theatre is represented by chamber plays with one, two or three characters played by outstanding Hungarian artists. Our performances fill a cultural gap in the sense that the majority of these are not staged in big theatres with a regular troupe of actors.

title: Liverpool2

text:
Liverpool2 is a container terminal extension adjoining the River Mersey in Seaforth, Merseyside. The extension, built by Peel Ports, officially opened on 4 November 2016 and is an expansion of the Seaforth Dock container terminal.

Development
The groundbreaking ceremony was held on 6 June 2013, with Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Kenny Dalglish present at the event. The emplacement of steel pilings commenced from October 2013 utilising 329 piles, weighing 47 tonnes each.  In total, 19,000 tonnes of metalwork was used to form a -high, and -long, quay wall.

By July 2014, dredging of a  area of the River Mersey approach channel had been commenced by Van Oord. The extension was built on reclaimed land using the material dredged from the River Mersey, with the deepened approach channel providing the necessary clearance for visiting ships. Construction was delayed by 60 days during winter storms in 2014. 5.5m tonnes of material was dredged, involving a workforce of 440 specialists.

The first five ZPMC-built Megamax ship-to-shore cranes were all on the quayside by November 2015, having been delivered from Shanghai, with eight of these cranes ultimately planned for the site. The first five cranes were delivered by the ship . The intended opening date of December 2015 was missed, being moved to the summer of 2016, and ultimately rescheduled for the autumn. A first batch of six ZPMC-built cantilever rail-mounted gantry cranes were delivered to the site in May 2016, arriving from Nantong aboard the ship Zhen Hua 25. Berthing trials began in June 2016, with MSC vessels participating in the procedures throughout the following months. A further six gantry cranes were added in October 2016; these being delivered by the ship Zhen Hua 8, also from Nantong. The extension was built at a cost of £400m and ultimately opened on 4 November 2016 by Liam Fox, the Secretary of State for International Trade.

Phase two
Phase two of the development included three more ship-to-shore (STS) cranes and an additional ten gantry cranes. After being completed, the site is served by 8 Megamax cranes and 22 cantilever rail-mounted gantry (CRMG) cranes. This allows a capacity of 1m TEU per year for the site. Peel Ports announced in July 2017 that it was proceeding with the expansion and that planning work had started to bring the remaining three Megamax and ten CRMG cranes to the port. The work also involved the installation of additional reefer points to allow the port to handle a greater quantity of refrigerated containers. Peel announced in September 2019 that the new STS cranes were expected to arrive in November 2019 with all of the work being completed in summer 2021.

An upgrade to the Canada Dock Branch rail line was announced in May 2016 that would allow up to 48 trains a day to visit the port. Upgrade of the line was expected to be complete by 2019.

Operation

The terminal extension is able to accommodate two 13,500 TEU New-Panamax vessels simultaneously, the maximum size that can transit the Panama Canal. As of 2016, the site is served by five Megamax cranes and twelve cantilever rail-mounted gantry cranes, completing phase one of the development. The gantry cranes are remotely operated from a control room at the terminal. The terminal has also gained the most advanced quayside to HGV automated transfer technology in Europe.

In March 2020, the terminal received its single biggest delivery to date, unloading 5,452 TEUs from MSC Federica; a record which was improved upon in December 2020, with a delivery of 5,956 TEUs by MSC Tamara. In October 2020, OOCL made Liverpool2 one of the permanent calling points for its trade between Europe and Canada. Two months later, Maersk and MSC chose to change from using the Port of Felixstowe for their TA2 transatlantic shipping service, in favour of Liverpool2. Around the same time, MSC launched a partnership with GB Railfreight to operate a five-days-a-week rail service between Liverpool2 and the East Midlands.

Future
Consideration has also been given for improved road access to the terminal, from the M57 motorway junction at Switch Island, in order to ease the expected HGV congestion.
