Opalchenska Metro Station

Opalchenska Metro Station (Bulgarian: Метростанция „Опълченска“) is a station on the Sofia Metro in Bulgaria. It opened on 17 September 1999.

Location

The metro station lies under Todor Alexandrov Boulevard between Opalchenska Street and Hristo Botev Boulevard. The west vestibule has 4 entries on the intersection of Todor Alexandrov Boulevard and Opalchenska Street and the east vestibule has 2 entries on the intersection of Todor Alexandrov Boulevard and Strandzha Street.

Architecture

The platform and the concourses have a modern design. The platform is a non-column type. The floors are lined with ceramic panels in brown-beige and green color corresponding to the outlook of the ceiling. The ceiling at the platform is made of vertical aluminum frames, forming figures with color stripes at the edges, placed above the lamps along the axis of the station. Groups of stainless steel benches are placed around the lamps. Sloping metal panels framed with blue and green stripes are put on the walls of the platform. The main lighting fixture is installed into inclined milk-white panels, placed at both ends of the platform. In the concourses it is installed into the suspended ceilings. The concourses are lined with granite and aluminum plates, while the underpasses are implemented with mineral masonry, forming geometric shapes. The suspended ceilings are white, made of 30 cm components of Hunter Douglas type, longitudinally arranged with colored stripes. The entrances are lined with beige marble and poly-carbonate arch-shaped coverings.

The architectural layout is created by architects I. Stanishev and Kr. Andreev. A draft, created by the same authors and put up to competitive procedure is serving as a base of the final design.

Automatic Platform Screen Door (APSD)

In September 2020, Automatic Platform screen doors started to operate at Opalchenska Metro station after a month such barriers were launched at the Vasil Levski Stadium Metro Station of the Sofia Metro. By 2022, this RSD (Rope-type Screen Door) system will be implemented at the busiest 12 stations of the Line 1 and Line 2 of the Sofia Metro.

Rocklands House, Goodrich

Rocklands House near Goodrich, Herefordshire, England, is a building of historical significance and is Grade II listed on the English Heritage Register.

Early residents

Map of 1794 which shows the older house called Yuxton

Rental notice for Rocklands House in 1808

In the 1700s the house was named Yuxton (sometimes it was called Yoxton). It was owned by the Hill family who were wealthy landowners in Llangarren and Goodrich. The map of 1794 shows the older house. It is recorded as being the property of Thomas Hill in the early 1700s

"At Yuxton, Walter Hill is building a handsome mansion which when completed will equal the finest in the area. The house occupies a gentle rise a short distance from the edge of the river, fronted by a beautiful lawn and protected in the back ground by the Coppet Hill round which the Wye makes such an extensive sweep and from whose summit we enjoy a most beautiful view of the principal objects noticed in these pages. Days might be passed with pleasure in contemplating the landscapes which from every point spread themselves before us. It reflects the highest credit on the taste and sociability of the gentlemen of fortune in this county by the erection of a house in such a spot as we are now speaking of."

Walter Hill (1753-1808) was an attorney who lived in Ross-on-Wye and was at one time the owner of Merton HouseHerefordshire. The Couple had two children, a daughter and a son. When Walter died in 1808 his son the Reverend Walter Henry Hill (1795-1865) inherited Rocklands House when he came of age. He did not live there but instead it was rented to wealthy tenants for the next 25 years.

Henry Williams Ross (1782-1862) was a merchant in the firm Ross Brothers of Liverpool.

Later residents

Judge John Maurice Herbert (1808-1882) was a judge in the county courts and lived at Rocklands for the next 35 years. He was a personal friend of Charles Darwin while they were both at the University of Cambridge and for some years afterwards.

Admiral Sir Hugo Lewis Pearson

He was born in 1808 in Madley Herefordshire and shortly before his birth his father John Lawrence Herbert died. His mother Joyce Susannah Jones (1777-1859) remarried Thomas Maddy of Moreton House and had a son Thomas Watkin Maddy (1813 -1860). In 1840 John married Mary Ann Johnes (1806-1876) and the couple came to live at Rocklands. The 1861 Census shows them in the house with a butler, a cook, a housemaid, a nurse and a dairymaid. They had no children and in 1876 Mary Ann died. John subsequently married in 1877 Mary Charlotte Phillpotts (1839-1924).

Admiral Sir Hugo Lewis Pearson (1843-1912) joined the Royal Navy at a very early age and quickly rose through the ranks. Between 1892 and 1895 he was Aide-de-Camp to Queen Victoria and later was the Commissioner of the Australian Station.

Krishna Bhusan Bal

Krishna Bhusan Bal (Nepali: कृष्णभूषण बल; 13 March 1948 - 25 June 2012) was a Nepalese poet known primarily for simplifying poetry for its readers at a time when poets were inclined to grandiloquence. Carving emotions into words is considered to be one of Bal’s most intricate qualities.

Biography

Early life

Bal was born on 13 March 1948 at his maternal home to Hem Bal Tamang and Sharda Ghising Tamang. He was the eldest, having two sisters born after him. His father remarried after the death of his mother. Though his sisters stayed with their father, he stayed at his late mother’s house as Tikaram Tamang until his graduation from elementary school.

Tikaram, although considered to be an average student by his teacher, Lagna Prasad, showed great interest in literature and extra-curricular activities. After completing his basic level education from Rabi Campus and Durga Higher Secondary School, Tikaram was schooled at Karfok Vidya Mandir by Nar Bahadur Lama. Later, Tikaram moved to Ilam Bazar, where he worked as the chief of the committee. There, he started writing and publishing poems with the name of Krishna Bhusan Bal.

Education and career

Having finished his basic level education from Ravi Bazar, Ilam, Tamang moved to Biratnagar. In the process of becoming Krishna Bhusan, Tikaram passed his SLC from Kathmandu, where he aspired to become a policeman. However, upon suggestions from some friends, he passed the Public Service Commission examinations and enrolled to get his Bachelor of Arts degree while working at Nepal Rastra Bank. Later, he started writing and publishing poems under the name of Krishna Bhusan Bal, which he considered to be his road to fame.

Literature

The Full Moon by the River Bank

Looking into the mirror
of emerald meadow of waters,
the moon has flashed a fruity chuckle.
Tickled at the gentle touch of breeze
the water spreads wavelets,
and the entire moon appears to be a neonate,
swinging in a cradle.
The waterbirds as if to jab their beaks through the moon,
fly out of sight fluttering their wings.
The trees across the river
still stand still as if to shoulder the entire era.
The lamps flickering in the houses big and small,
on either bank, are adorned like the stars.
The horizon getting narrowed gradually
has descended to stick to the hill on the bank.
The moon now crossing the yonder region of waters,
has come down to rest atop me.
I wonder from where gathered has
a flock of sheep-like clouds.
As if a furry pashmina the clouds pulled over them
the sheet of the full moon spread on the meadow of waters.
Probably the switch to turn on and off
each sparkling moment is in the hand of these clouds.

- Krishna Bhusan Bal (translated)

Tikaram moved to Ilam Bazar, where he worked as the chief of the committee. There, he started writing and publishing poems with the name of Krishna Bhusan Bal. His first poem, Ma Yuvak Hoon, was published in the Saugat daily based in Ilam.

Bal had to bear torture from his father and his stepmother after his mother died when he was barely 5; thereby, adding to his struggles.Kathmandu. Three years later, he moved to Biratnagar where he stayed for the rest of his life.

The publishing of Sadak Kavita Kranti in 1979 and Bholi Baasne Bihana in 1984 established his status as a revolutionary poet of the Nepali language. Bal, along with Gopal Prasad Rimal and Bairagi Kainla, was considered to be one of the most revolutionary Nepalese poets by renowned critic Krishna Chandra Singh Pradhan.

Bal’s Bisaun Bhanau Sakdina, published on 23 June 2012, is considered to be his last work.

Personal life

Bal fathered a son (Sai Bhusan Lama) and a daughter (Kavita Lama) with his wife, Shobha Lama, whom he met when he worked at Nepal Rastra Bank.

Death

Bal was taken to the hospital when he was found unconscious in the shower after going for a morning walk. Bal, who was discharged from Neuro Hospital, Biratnagar just four days before the incident, was pronounced dead due to intracerebral hemorrhage on June 25, 2012 at 7:25 pm.

Styles and themes

Krishna Bhusan Bal is known for presenting current events and different stages of life in simple yet euphonious words. Reality and contemporaneity are included in the list of strengths of his poems.

Bal’s career, which started in the seventies, spanned a little over three decades. Amiable and compassionate Bal’s works, Dajyu, Timro Haat Chahinchha and Bholi Baasne Bihana, have been acclaimed critically by literary critics and writers alike. Many litterateurs have drawn inspiration from Bal and claimed that he will be remembered for generations to come. He has, in fact, been compared to Langston Hughes and Martin Luther King Jr. by SAARC Literary Award winner Suman Pokhrel.

Nascot Wood

Nascot Wood is the colloquial name for the largely residential area of Watford (Hertfordshire) that is located to the north-west of the town centre. The area has a relatively large number of mature trees, which help give it more of a leafy character than some other parts of the town. The name relates to one of the main roads in the area - Nascot Wood Road, and the local administrative ward - Nascot. The boundaries of the area are formed by the railway tunnels to the east and Hempstead Road to the west - beyond which is the Cassiobury Estate.

The Industrial Revolution brought the Grand Junction Canal (now Grand Union Canal) in 1798 and the London and Birmingham Railway in 1837, both located here for the same reasons the road had followed centuries before, seeking an easy gradient over the Chiltern Hills." (source Wikipedia page Watford)first railway station in Watford opened here in 1837.

The railway company's aim of keeping their building costs down was disrupted by resistance from the Earl of Essex (Cassiobury) and Clarendon (The Grove). They had permitted the canal to be built through their estates, but they resisted the passage of a steam railway through their land.

The railway company was forced to build an expensive tunnel, which starts in Nascot Wood and emerges close to Kings Langley station. After the spoil heaps settled, from building the tunnel, the woodland grew back. The area also contains some ancient woodland in amongst housing from the late 19th-early 21st century housing.

History

Rockland State Hospital was originally established in 1926 by the State of New York.insulin shock therapy in 1937, and later, electroconvulsive therapy.

In the meantime, by the decade of the 1970s the overall inpatient population had been greatly reduced at Rockland by the evolving practice of deinstitutionalization.Orange is the New Black.

The oldest abandoned buildings on the Rockland campus that are still standing are generally closed to the public. The campus at its largest size once represented one of the largest intact psychiatric hospital facilities in the United States.

In 2003, the state of New York sold the former hospital campus no longer in active use to the Town of Orangetown. In 2017, 60 acres of the land containing abandoned buildings were sold to JPMorgan Chase for the construction of a data center, and significant demolition of most buildings in that parcel was completed in 2018.

Spellman McLaughlin Home

The Spellman McLaughlin Home is a historic home on Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands. Located in Creek, Cayman Brac, the home stands on the top of a small hill alongside Creek Road.

Construction

Spellman McLaughin, who hailed from East End, Grand Cayman, moved to Cayman Brac with his family at age 16 and married there. In 1926, he began constructing the home to his own design. Constructed of timber imported from Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida, the planks were cut on-site. Although he had help with the home's construction, McLaughlin oversaw every detail himself and construction would have to be halted when he went off to sea, which he had to do in order to earn his living.

Built largely of pine, the home was completed in 1930 and full-section log posts were sunk into the ground to support the home above the ground. Very few nails were used in the home's construction and cedar shingles were used as roofing for the home.

The home's roof was constructed with three gable ends at the front of it, giving the impression that the house has two storeys, when it actually has only one.

Layout

The home has eight exterior rooms built around a central dining room. Each of these rooms has windows and a door to the home's wrap-around verandah. The home's rooms that face northwest and central dining room were designed to be the home's formal rooms and have elaborate ceilings. The home's dining room has diagonal wall paneling and the home's front sitting room has a domed, beaded board ceiling.

The rooms on the southeastern side of the home, which were considered to be the hottest, did not have ceilings so hot air could rise into the roof space, therefore keeping the room as cool as possible. The kitchen, housed in a separate structure outside the home at the time of construction, was later installed in the southeastern section.

1932 storm

130 people sought shelter in the storm during “the great hurricane of 1932” which caused heavy destruction to Cayman Brac in November of that year. The home's windows managed to hold and despite a boulder crashing through the home's front door which allowed water to enter, the storm inflicted no further damage.


Spellman McLaughlin Home

The home was amongst the few structures to survive the storm intact and served as a distribution point for scarce emergency supplies sent from Jamaica.

The home nowadays

Today, the wood used to construct the home is still in good condition, despite exposure from the sun, wind and salt. Zinc roofing now covers the roof, although the original cedar roofing lies underneath.

The home received the Award of Distinction for the Preservation of Historic Places in 1995 by the National Trust for the Cayman Islands. This award was presented to Spellman McLaughlin's daughter, Brunzil Rivers, who lived in the home at the time with her family.

As of 2011, Rivers and her family have moved and put the home up for sale.

The house was purchased by Dan & Lisa Scott. They have beautifully restored the home. The zinc roof has been replaced with cedar shingles.

Reviews

"The soloist that left me consistently amazed was Osgood. His part includes the demanding role of the narrating Evangelist who sings near the top of the tenor register, as well as arias that show a remarkable range of emotion. Osgood seemed as fresh in his furious finale (``With fear the blackguard is all shaken) aria as he had been two hours earlier in his aria urging the shepherds to hasten to Christ's manger."

Travis Rivers, The Spokesman Review - February 3, 2003

"Osgood, who has a growing national and international reputation as a baroque specialist, gave a brilliant performance from the very first aria 'Every valley shall be exalted' Of the four singers, his ornamentation was the furthest and freshest departure from what singers usually do with the music."

Jan Anton van der Baren

Seascape within a garland of fruit

Jan Anton van der BarenFlemish painter, draughtsman, priest and museum curator active in Brussels and Vienna. He specialised in still lifes of flowers and vegetables, some of which include an architectural background.Archduke Leopold Wilhelm and Emperor Leopold I.

Life

Jan Anton van der Baren was likely born in Brussels. He became court chaplain to Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, the Governor of the Spanish Netherlands, who resided in Brussels. He accompanied the Archduke on his return to Vienna in 1656 and remained there until his death.

Still life with pumpkins

In Vienna he became director of the picture gallery of the Archduke, one of the most extensive art collections in Europe at the time. Van der Baren compiled an inventory of the collection in 1659, although he probably did not himself draft the German language inventory that he signed together with three other members of the Archduke’s court administration.David Teniers the Younger, who was the director of the Archduke’s collection while it was still in Brussels, painted the famous Archduke Leopold Willem in his gallery at Brussels. The painting includes a portrait of van der Baren (he is the third man from the right).

After the Archduke’s death in 1662, van der Baren continued to hold the offices of court chaplain and director of the picture gallery under Emperor Leopold I.

He died on 30 or 31 December 1686 in Vienna.

Work

General

Glass with roses

Van der Baren is regarded as an amateur painter since he did not paint professionally but was principally a priest and a court official. Not many works by his hand are known. There are 14 paintings accepted as authentic, some of them signed and dated. Most of the works are still lifes.

The 1659 inventory of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm's collection shows that it included 12 works by van der Baren.Still Life with Pumpkins in the Kunsthistorisches Museum) or a landscape view (such as A Seascape within a Garland of Fruit in the Powis Castle and Garden, Powys, Wales, National Trust).


Jan Anton van der Baren

Van der Baren’s work shows an exactness of botanical detail and an emphasis on texture and light. While his flower pieces and garland paintings were clearly influenced by the leading flower painter in Flanders Daniel Seghers, his palette is warmer than that of Seghers.

Garland paintings

Most of his still lifes fall into the category of ‘garland paintings’. Garland paintings are a special type of still life invented in Antwerp and whose earliest practitioner was Jan Brueghel the Elder. These paintings typically show a flower garland around a devotional image or portrait. Garland paintings were usually collaborations between a still life and a figure painter.

Garland of flowers surrounding a statue of the Madonna and Child

Van der Baren collaborated on garland paintings with other painters, such as Erasmus Quellinus II and the Flemish émigré painter Nikolaus van Hoy. These collaborators painted the devotional image while van der Baren painted the flower garland. An example is the Garland of flowers surrounding the Holy Family in the Museum of Fine Arts (Budapest), a collaboration with van Hoy.Mystic Marriage of St Catherine (Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium).

Flower pieces

He also painted still lifes of flowers in vases such as the Glass with roses in the Kunsthistorisches Museum. He also painted the Flower still life in a stone niche (Auctioned at Hampel Fine Art Auctions on 5 December 2008, Vienna, lot 263), which follows the early 17th century model of the presentation of a flower vase in a niche.

He further painted still lifes of vegetables and an interesting still life showing the Gifts of the Magi with a cityscape in the background (both also in the Kunsthistorisches Museum).

Nascentes do Paranapanema State Park

The Nascentes do Paranapanema State Park (Portuguese: Parque Estadual Nascentes do Paranapanema is a state park in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It protects part of the largest remnant of Atlantic Forest in Brazil.

Location

The Nascentes do Paranapanema State Park is in the municipality of Capão Bonito, São Paulo. It has an area of 22,268.94 hectares (55,027.7 acres) of Atlantic Forest covering the sources of the Paranapanema River.Carlos Botelho and Intervales state parks.Atlantic Forest in Brazil, and shelters many endangered species of flora and fauna. It also has a rich historical heritage and holds various tourist attractions. It is part of a biological corridor, or continuum, recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve.

History

The Nascentes do Paranapanema State Park was announced during the June 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). The new park and other units would make up the Paranapiacaba Conservation Units Mosaic, a forest massif of over 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres).

The park was expected to develop sustainable employment form ecological and cultural tourism in the region. The land was already owned by the state, and only ten residents had been identified, whose rights would be respected. The deputy mayor of Capão Bonito said the municipality should be compensated for "freezing" of part of the territory. Important mineral resources could not now be extracted, two cement plants could not be expanded, and there were question over who would maintain rural roads in the area.

Environment


Nascentes do Paranapanema State Park

Environment

The forest is extremely well preserved, and is home to the largest population of jaguars (Panthera onca) in the Atlantic Forest. It includes other threatened species such as cougar (Puma concolor), South American tapir (Tapirus terrestris), bush dog (Speothos venaticus), pygmy brocket (Mazama nana) and southern muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides). The connection between the various areas in the Paranapiacaba mosaic will help the species to survive. The jaguar tends to avoid areas frequented by man, which include areas used by hunters and gatherers of heart of palm in the reserve. It is estimated that there are just 250 individual jaguars in the states of Paraná, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, most of them in the mosaic area. There are more than 450 species of birds.

The country people of the region consider that the primates in the park are good to eat. In 2012 environmental police seized the bodies of two howler monkeys and one southern muriqui. The muriqui, the largest primate in the Americas, is strongly threatened with extinction. In March 2013 environmental police found a hunter's camp with a shack equipped with a stove and kitchen utensils. A monkey that had been cleaned and was ready to eat was found, and the carcasses of an armadillo, and threatened birds such as solitary tinamou (Tinamus solitarius), neotropical bellbird and toucans. The hunters escaped into the forest.
