Duarte Leite

Duarte Leite Pereira da Silva, GCC (11 August 1864 in Porto – 29 September 1950 in Porto; Portuguese pronunciation: [duˈaɾtɨ ˈlɐjtɨ]), was a Portuguese historian, mathematician, journalist, diplomat and politician. He graduated in Mathematics at the University of Coimbra, in 1885. He taught at the Politecnic Academy of Porto, from 1886 to 1911. Meanwhile, he was also the director of the newspaper diary "A Pátria". As a historian, he published many studies, later compiled in "História dos Descobrimentos" (History of the Discoveries), in 2 volumes.

Political career

After the overthrow of the Portuguese monarchy in 1910, he was Minister of Finance during the Augusto de Vasconcelos government (1911–1912), and succeeded him, as Prime Minister and Minister of Internal Affairs, from 16 June 1912 to 9 January 1913.

From 1914 to 1931 he served as Portuguese ambassador to Brazil. He was a candidate to the Presidency of the Republic in the elections held in the Congress of the Republic, in 1925. Faithful all his life to his left-wing republican principles, he became a member of the 1945–48 Movement of Democratic Unity, which during its brief lifespan functioned as the first form of legalized opposition to Salazar's far-right Estado Novo (New State) regimen.

Giuseppe Nuvolo

The dome of Santa Maria alla Sanità.

Giuseppe Nuvolo (born Vincenzo Nuvolo, also known as Fra' Nuvolo; 1570–1643) was an Italian architect, an exponent of the Mannerist and early Baroque architecture, active mostly in Naples.

He entered the Dominican Order in 1591, but designed works also for other institutions. He specialized in the use of majolica decorations, especially in the domes for churches in Naples, including that of San Pietro Martire or that of Santa Maria della Sanità. Nuvolo designed both the church and convent of Santa Maria della Sanità.

Nuvolo also redesigned pre-existing edifices in Mannerist-Baroque style, such as the church of Santa Maria di Costantinopoli and the church of San Carlo all'Arena. At his death in 1643, he was working in the construction of the church of Santa Caterina da Siena, also in Naples.

History

The area around Cala Gonone was inhabited in the Nuragic Era. The remains of a Nuragic settlement can be seen at Nuraghe Mannu on the outskirts of the village, just off the road to Dorgali. The modern village was founded by a colony of fishermen from the island of Ponza

Geography

The town is situated in the Bay of Orosei on the east of the island and in the geographical region of Supramonte, 9 kilometers from Dorgali, 41 from Nuoro and 108 from Olbia. Close to the village, and reachable by the sea, is the show cave of Bue Marino. Many boats from small speedboats to large tourist boats dock in at the Bue Marino or travel further down the coast to Cala Luna to let the passengers bath in the turquoise water or explore the caves that have been hollowed out by the sea. Almost everyone that goes to the small caves writes their name in charcoal, from a small fire, on the wall, creating a huge mass of writing across several meters of the cave wall.

Giuseppe Nicolini (writer)

Giuseppe Nicolini (28 October 1788 – 26 August 1855) was an Italian poet, literary critic, and politician active in the risorgimento, the nineteenth century nationalist movement that led to the creation of Italy as a unified nation. Nicolini wrote for the progressive periodical Il Conciliatore, composed poetry, and published prose as well. He translated much of Lord Byron's poetry into Italian and wrote one of the earliest biographies of Byron.

He was born in Brescia, the son of merchant, and after studying philosophy there, went on to study law at the University of Bologna, where he graduated in 1807. He preferred teaching to law, however, and after a few years as a lawyer took up an appointment as a professor in the Brescia Ginnasio. For a brief period he was also a professor of history at the principal Liceo in Verona. When his political activities cost him his teaching job in 1821, writing became his main profession. He lived the rest of his life in Brescia, where he married in 1840 and became the father of seven children. Giuseppe Nicolini died in the cholera epidemic that struck the city in 1855.

Cal looker

A Cal looker (California looker) is any air-cooled Volkswagen (most often the Type 1) modified in fashion originating in Orange County, California in the late 1960s.

Type 1 modified in 1970s California look style

Common modifications

The Type 1 is popular with car customizers throughout the world not only because it is cheap and easy to work on, but because its iconic looks can be personalised and the flat four motor is so tuneable. Its very ubiquity makes even subtle changes noticeable;

Exterior

There are many popular Beetle styles, from a Cal looker, to a Cal-Style VW. They vary between themselves but are similar in many ways. Also the California look has changed during the 30+ years of its lifespan. The most typical (and traditional) way to customize the exterior is to change the wheels and lower the front suspension of the car. The favorite wheels are period-style EMPI 5- or 8-spokes, Speedwell BRMs, Mahle "Gas Burners" or satin finish Porsche factory rims like Fuchs from a classic 911. One of the original California look modifications is to replace or remove the bumpers, side trim and vent wing window either to give a cleaner look or to reduce the curb weight; if bumpers are removed, T-bar pushbars are common. The stock bumpers are sometimes painted or powder coated.

There are many clubs dedicated to Cal look including the DKP in the USA which was one of the first clubs dedicated to true Cal-look cars. Today, the DKP still exists and the club is on their third generation. There are also currently many big Cal look VW clubs based in Europe including the DAS (Der Autobahn Scrapers) in Belgium, the DFL (Der Fieser Luftkühlers) in Germany and the JG54 Grünherz (Greenhearts) in the UK and in Brazil DBC (Der Brazilian Cal look).

Cal-Style

Main article: Cal-Style VW


Cal looker

Main article: Cal-Style VW

A lowrider influenced Vintage VW that was lowered to the extreme for style and cruising called "dumped", "slammed" or "laid-out" The Cal-Style VW was originated in the streets of Los Angeles in the late 1970s. Los Angeles VW Car Clubs like the "Bugs Buddies" and the "Vintage Volksters" were the pioneers of this style building Cal-Style VW's to cruise LA landmarks like the original Tommy's Burgers, the iconic cruise spot Whittier Blvd, ELA and to impress the LA teen party crowd. The first documented example of a "Cal-Style" VW was 1980 when Rene Ruelas of lowrider car club fame the "Dukes" combined style and performance with his Karmann Ghia convertible; it was later owned by another, the early 1980s Cal-Style builder Robert "VWKIDD" Velis. By the late 1980s, the Cal-Style VW influence spread throughout Southern California and the world.

A Cal-Style VW was an all original VW typically painted in factory colors (two-tones are frowned on, unless original from the factory) that was lowered all the way around and kept all the chrome trim, bumpers, and subtle chrome lowrider influenced accessories like chrome gravel guards or rain deflectors, heavily influenced by the 1930s-1940s lowrider "bombas" Cal-Stylers saw growing up in their Los Angeles neighborhoods. The Cal-Style first called "Chicano style" then "Vintage Cal-Style" then around 1983-84 the term Cal-Style was universally accepted in the streets of Los Angeles. Cal-Style VW's wheels of choice were the Porsche Fuch alloys and the 5-spoke Empi's but unlike the Orange County Cal-Look the LA Cal-Style was about style and the wheels were fully polished or chromed for "bling".

Resto Cal

Resto Cal-look Volkswagens are air-cooled vehicles that may have a lowered stance yet appear to be restored to original condition (hence "resto"). The term was first used around 1987.


Cal looker

For resto Cal look, a roof rack, decklid rack and similar accessories are added and some are two-tone in color. There are many other aftermarket wheels and parts that can be added to the Type 1, including wing mirrors, chrome wipers, and badges. Rear light and front indicator lenses can also be changed. This is as far as a Cal look or resto Cal car will go. Some Resto-Cal VW's veer towards the Los Angeles Cal-Style VW [lowrider influenced], because of the stance, early Fuch alloys and the number of correct period accessories on the vehicle. There is a large tendency toward the resto Cal look because these cars can be fairly easily returned to a 'stock' unmodified status. Resto Cal cars also have the nickname "Buckaroo cars", a light-hearted dig about the number of items like luggage loaded onto the roof racks like the child's game from the 1980s. Enthusiast sites such as BugMe.co.uk show what sort of modifications are often done to create or restore a resto Cal Beetle.

Other Volkswagens

The Cal look aesthetic has been applied to other Volkswagens, such as the Type 3 and Karmann Ghia, but is not, and never has been, associated with VW camper vans and buses. The same modifications are used, with the same end result. Some Volkswagen enthusiasts are branching out into turning Beetles (and other Volkswagens) into leadsleds, Hood-Rides and Volksrods. Others are turning to later water-cooled vehicles and the import scene, with the Volkswagen Caddy having a cult following. Others have exported the Cal look onto non-Volkswagens.

Non-Volkswagens

The Cal look has also been exported to non Volkswagen vehicles, such as the Hillman Imp, Fiat 500, Porsche 356, early Porsche 911, its VW-based sisters and even the BMW 2002 and Lada VAZ-2101. These cars have the same modifications as their Volkswagen counterparts and are seen as alternatives to the Beetle, either due to cost or the desire to be different.

Irish greenways

Ireland's greenways are off-road routes for walkers, cyclists and other non-motorised transport in Ireland, which are often created as rail trails on abandoned sections of the Irish rail network. In the Republic of Ireland, several greenway initiatives have been centrally funded by the Irish government.Northern Ireland, greenways are typically part of the collective British National Cycle Network (NCN).

Examples

See also: Lists of long-distance trails in the Republic of Ireland

There are a number of greenways (including several rail trails) in Ireland. Notable examples include the:

  * Boyne Greenway (1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi))
  * Carlingford Lough Greenway (Carlingford to Omeath, 6.2 kilometres (3.9 mi)).
  * Grand Canal Cycleway (118 kilometres (73 mi))
  * Great Southern Trail, comprising the Limerick Greenway and North Kerry Greenway, was 40 kilometres (25 mi) long as of 2021
  * Great Western Greenway (44 kilometres (27 mi))
  * Royal Canal Greenway (130 kilometres (81 mi))
  * Waterford Greenway (46 kilometres (29 mi), which opened in March 2017

Under construction

Ireland

A number of greenways have been proposed to be built (or are under construction or partially opened) in the Republic of Ireland. For example, in 2018, a 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) section (from Athry to Cloonbeg) of the proposed 76 kilometres (47 mi) Connemara Greenway was opened.Tralee-Fenit Greenway was partially completed as of 2021.Dublin-Galway Greenway, proposed ultimately to be a 276 kilometres (171 mi) 'coast-to-coast' greenway and rail trail, have been partially opened.

Other examples include the Athlone to Mullingar Cycleway,Cork Greenway. Progress on the proposed South Kerry Greenway was subject to planning challenges and decisions as of late 2021.

Building and Allied Trades' Union

The Building and Allied Trades' Union (BATU) is a trade union representing workers in the construction industry and furniture trade in Ireland.

Forerunners

Bricklayers in Dublin appear to have been unionised since at least 1792, and the Old Bodymen was founded in 1802, becoming the Regular Operative Brick and Stonelayers by the 1860s, and the Incorporated Brick and Stonelayers of the City of Dublin in the following decade. In 1888, it registered as the Ancient Guild of Incorporated Brick and Stone Layers Trade Union, although its membership was never large, peaking at 1,367 in 1970.

Woodworkers in Ireland were originally unionised in the British-based Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers. In 1922, they split away from their own Irish Union of Woodworkers, although it did not join the Irish Trades Union Congress, only affiliating to its successor, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, from 1954. Later known as the Irish National Union of Woodworkers, in 1979 it merged with the Irish Society of Woodcutting Machinists, a small union founded in 1934 with a peak membership of 750, to form the National Union of Woodworkers and Woodcutting Machinists.

Formation

In 1998, the Ancient Guild of Incorporated Brick and Stone Layers Trade Union merged with the National Union of Wood Workers and Wood Cutting Machinists, to form the new "Building and Allied Trades' Union".

Crown Point Bridge, Indiana

Milroy Covered Bridge, located in Crown Point, Indiana

The Crown Point Bridge is a covered bridge in the city of Crown Point in the U.S. state of Indiana. Originally built over the Little Flatrock River, two miles south of Milroy, Rush County, Indiana (Section 24, Township 12 North, and Range 9 East), the Milroy or Shelbourne Covered Bridge was built by Archibald M. Kennedy & Sons in 1878. Highway improvements in 1933 displaced the bridge, and it was moved to Crown Point, Indiana. John Wheeler led the preservation effort, having the structure dismantled, moved, and erected in the Lake County Fairgrounds over a gully.

The bridge is a single-span Burr Arch Truss. It has an 85-foot-long (26 m) span; with a 10-foot (3.0 m) portal at each end, its total length is 105 feet (32 m). The bridge has a clearance 16 feet (4.9 m) wide by 14 feet (4.3 m) high.

Electromyrmococcus

Electromyrmococcus is an extinct genus of mealybug in the Pseudococcidae subfamily Rhizoecinae.Miocene, Burdigalian stage, Dominican amber deposits on the island of Hispaniola.

History and classification

The genus was first described by Douglas Williams as an appendix to a 2001 paper published in the journal American Museum Novitates.electro, from the Greek ἤλεκτρον (elektron) meaning "amber", myrmo from the Greek μύρμηξ (myrmex) meaning "ant" and Coccus from the ant-tended genus of mealybugs, in reference to the association of ant and mealybugs in amber.type species E. abductus and the two additional species E. inclusus and E. reginae.

Description

Electromyrmococcus possesses a combination of traits which are not found in any one modern genus belonging to the Rhizoecinae, a subfamily of the mealybugs. Living Rhizoecinae are separated into two groups of closely related genera, the Rhizoceus group and the Eumyrmococcus group.Rhizoceus group have six segments, at least as wide as they are long. The antennae of the Eumyrmococcus group have two to five long slender segments. Electromyrmococcus has long slender antennae with six segments.

Electromyrmococcus species have an enlarged cephalothorax and an abdomen that gradually tapers down to a pointed end. Along the last segments of the abdomen are a number of setae which may be grouped on small poorly developed anal lobes or spaced out on the ventral margin of the abdominal segment.

All known specimens of Electromyrmococcus are preserved in amber, and all are either being clutched in the mandibles of Acropyga glaesaria species ants,obligatorily symbiotic with Acropyga species; when forming new nests the queens and gynes will bring a seed "herd" of mealybugs from the old colony. This carrying behavior is the probable reason for the preservation of the Electromyrmococcus specimens and represents the oldest record of this symbiosis.

E. abductus


Electromyrmococcus

E. abductus

E. abductus was described from the holotype, a single elongated piriform female 0.7 millimetres (0.028 in) long, clutched in the mandibles of an Acropyga glaesaria adult.Santiago de los Caballeros in the Cibao Valley.Senckenberg Museum of Frankfurt, Germany. The species epithet abductus, which is Latin for "carried off", was chosen by Williams in reference to the mealybug being preserved in the ant's mandibles.

E. inclusus

E. inclusus is the second species which was named in the 2001 paper. The holotype female, and only specimen, is deposited in the American Museum of Natural History as "number DR-14–403".0.76 millimetres (0.030 in) long with a typical tapering abdomen. The abdomen has well-defined segments with segment eight possessing slightly developed anal lobes sporting four setae each, and segment two with a pair of submedial projections. The female has a notable constriction present between the abdomen and the thorax. However the constriction was probably not a feature possessed by the species in life, but rather though to be a result of being compressed by the ant closely associated with it when they became trapped in resin. Williams collaborated with Donat Agosti in the description of E. inclusus. They chose the specific epithet inclusus which is a Latin participle meaning "enclosed" or "imprisoned" in allusion to the female's preservation in amber.

E. reginae


Electromyrmococcus

E. reginae

The third known species is E. reginae, which, like the other known species, is known from a single female specimen preserved in amber. E. reginae is the largest of the three species at 0.80 millimetres (0.031 in) in length.E. inclusus, the anal lobes of E. reginae are not as well developed but do possess four setae each. The well-developed legs of E. reginae also have some setae present. Like E. abductus the E. reginae female was preserved in the mandibles of an Acropyga glaesaria ant, this one a queen. In reference to this the specific epithet reginae comes from the Latin regina meaning "belonging to a queen".


Green Party (Turkey, 1988)

The Green Party (Turkish: Yeşiller Partisi) is the first green party established in Turkey.

Background

Emphasizing that the relations between people cannot be separated from the relationship between man and nature, the party was an important part of the anti-nuclear movement. The party had a strong emphasis on peace in their program and defined themselves in a natural solidarity with women's movements. The party stated that they were a brand new alternative that did not originate from any political thought that existed today, and that was born without replacing an old party.

Its last chairman was Bilge Contepe. It was closed in 1994 on the grounds that it did not submit its final accounts.Green Party, which was founded in 2008.


Bohumil Kubišta

Kubišta in 1911

Bohumil Kubišta (21 August 1884 in Vlčkovice, Bohemia – 27 November 1918 in Prague)Czech painter and art critic, one of the founders of Czech modern painting. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, but left in 1906 to study at the Reale Istituto di Belle Arti in Florence. He,Emil Filla, Antonín Procházka, and five others founded Osma (The Eight), an Expressionist-oriented group of artists.

Work

Kubišta came to his individual expression gradually, at first he was influenced by the work of Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne. He educated himself in philosophy and optics, and studied colour and the geometrical construction of painting.

Kubišta, like several other Czech artists of his generation, was strongly affected by the 1905 Edvard Munch exhibition in Prague. Together with Emil Filla he established the artistic group OsmaExpressionist style until 1910, and exchanged ideas with German painters in Die Brücke. He also developed visual ideas learned from the work of Cézanne. His later style (approximately from 1911) was strongly influenced by Expressionism and Cubism. Expressionist elements, particularly his use of colour but also his subject matter, immediately distinguish Kubišta's Cubist work (such as his 1912 St Sebastian) from that of founding Paris Cubists Picasso, Braque and the Section d'Or. He studied colour theory, analyzing the harmonic and compositional principles of painters such as El Greco, Eugène Delacroix, Vincent van Gogh, and Edvard Munch. He also paid close attention to mathematical and geometric principles. Around 1911, he became acquainted with Jan Zrzavý and the artistic group Sursum.

Kubišta joined the army in 1913.1918 flu pandemicFirst World War.

The Irish grid reference system is a system of geographic grid references used for paper mapping in Ireland (both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland).British grid, and uses a similar co-ordinate system but with a meridian more suited to its westerly location.

Usage

In general, neither Ireland nor Great Britain uses latitude or longitude in describing internal geographic locations. Instead grid reference systems are used for mapping.

The national grid referencing system was devised by the Ordnance Survey, and is heavily used in their survey data, and in maps (whether published by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland or commercial map producers) based on those surveys. Additionally grid references are commonly quoted in other publications and data sources, such as guide books or government planning documents.

2001 recasting: the ITM grid

Main article: Irish Transverse Mercator

In 2001, the Ordnance Survey of Ireland and the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland jointly implemented a new coordinate system for Ireland called Irish Transverse Mercator, or ITM, a location-specific optimisation of UTM, which runs in parallel with the existing Irish grid system. In both systems, the true origin is at 53° 30' N, 8° WLough Ree, close to the western (Co. Roscommon) shore, whose grid reference is N000500. The ITM system was specified so as to provide precise alignment with modern high-precision global positioning receivers.

Grid letters

Irish grid

The area of Ireland is divided into 25 squares, measuring 100 by 100 km (62 by 62 mi), each identified by a single letter. The squares are numbered A to Z with I being omitted. Seven of the squares do not actually cover any land in Ireland: A, E, K, P, U, Y and Z.

Eastings and northings

Within each square, eastings and northings from the origin (south west corner) of the square are given numerically. For example, G0305 means 'square G, 3 km (1.9 mi) east, 5 km (3.1 mi) north'. A location can be indicated to varying resolutions numerically, usually from two digits in each coordinate (for a 1 km (0.62 mi) square) through to five (for a 1 m (3 ft 3 in)) square; the most common usage is the six figure grid reference, employing three digits in each coordinate to determine a 100 m (330 ft) square.

Coordinates may also be given relative to the origin of the entire 500 by 500 km (310 by 310 mi) grid (in the format easting, northing). For example, the location of the Spire of Dublin on O'Connell Street may be given as 315904, 234671 as well as O1590434671. Coordinates in this format must never be truncated, because, for example, 31590, 23467 is also a valid location.

Crown Point Light

The Crown Point Light on Lake Champlain is a former lighthouse at Crown Point, New York, that now exists as a memorial to the exploration of the lake by Samuel de Champlain.

History

Requests for a light to mark the point date as far back as 1838, but the original light on this site was erected in 1858 by Ellis and O'Neil, along the same lines as the Windmill Point and Isle La Motte lights, which they constructed in the same period. The light sat on a small point due east of the ruins of Fort St. Frederic, a 1730s - 1750s fort at the tip of the peninsula. The octagonal stone tower and attached keeper's dwelling remained in use, essentially unchanged, into the early 20th century.

The tercentenary of Champlain's explorations of the lake provided the occasion for celebrations marking the event, and commissions from New York and Vermont, put in charge of the festivities, decided to erect a monument. A suggestion in a newspaper prompted the notion to convert an existing lighthouse, and after some consideration of other sites, the Crown Point Light was chosen. The stone sheath of the tower was stripped away, leaving the brick spiral staircase sitting on the foundation. A new tower was constructed on and around this, consisting of a short tapered base, a ring of eight Doric columns, an elaborately carved cornice and parapet, and a new lantern atop the whole. On the side facing the lake, a projection from the base supported a monumental bronze designed by Carl Augustus Heber and cast at the Roman Bronze Works consisting of Champlain accompanied by one fellow Frenchman and one Huron native.Auguste Rodin which was later placed below the other sculpture. A broad staircase led down to a pier projecting into the lake. A fifth order Fresnel lens continued to shine in the lantern giving a fixed white light, and the old keeper's house remained in place, attached to the new tower by a short passageway. The memorial was dedicated on July 5, 1912 at a ceremony presided over by Governors John Abner Mead of Vermont and John Adams Dix of New York.


Crown Point Light

The memorial served as an active lighthouse for only fourteen years. In 1926 its light was extinguished, and a small skeleton tower was erected immediately adjacent to the water. In 1931 construction of the Crown Point Bridge obscured the site, and the steel tower was moved to the grounds of the Windmill Point Light as part of the customs service effort to control liquor smuggling on the lake. The property was transferred to the State of New York, which continues to maintain it as part of the state reservation which forms the tip of the peninsula; the keeper's house was demolished, leaving the monument standing alone at the top of the bluff. The tower is marked on navigational charts, but does not currently serve as an aid to navigation.

Casa Dra. Concha Melendez Ramirez

The Casa Dra. Concha Meléndez Ramírez is a historic house at 1400 Vilá Mayo in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is a modest two-story Spanish Revival structure, finished in adobe-colored concrete and a clay tile roof. The house is notable as the longtime home of Dra. Concha Meléndez Ramírez (1895-1983), a leading literary figure of 20th century Puerto Rico. Now a museum, library, and research center, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011;

Description

The Casa Dra. Concha Meléndez Ramírez stands in San Juan's El Condado neighborhood, on a parcel bounded on the north by Vilá Mayo, the west by Calle Manuel Rodríguez Serra, and the south by Calle Wilson. It is a roughly square two-story building, with adobe-colored concrete walls and a flat roof. Windows and doorways are sheltered by concrete canopies topped by clay tiles. The house is set in a rustic garden with a terrace and native plantings. The interior of the house retains the feel of private residence, with Dra. Meléndez's study left much as she would have used it.

History

The house was home to Meléndez and her sister (neither of whom married), from 1940 until her death in 1983. Meléndez did much of her writing and other work from her office here, and regularly hosted literary and cultural figures of the island. It is now a museum and library, established by her bequest, containing her extensive collections.

Lea von Littrow

Leo von Littrow (17 March 1860 – 11 May 1925) was an Austrian-Fiuman painter known for her landscapes and marine paintings.

Biography

Leo von Littrow was born as Leontine Camilla von Littrow in Trieste and was always called "Leo" from an early age. She used the name "Leontine" or "Leo" von Littrow.Heinrich von Littrow, a famous frigate captain in the Austrian Navy, cartographer, poet and playwright that worked as the head of the Trade and Nautical Academy in Trieste and as the Royal Hungarian Maritime Inspector in Fiume. Her mother, Caroline Fanny Barry, like Leo's uncle Alfred Barry and Richard Barry, came from a wealthy banking and merchant family from Genoa and Trieste. Leo's grandfather was the imperial court astronomer Johann Joseph von Littrow. Her family was elevated to hereditary nobility in 1835. One of her uncles was the astronomer Karl Ludwig von Littrow, successor to his father Joseph as head of the Vienna University Observatory and Rector of the University of Vienna. He was married to the women's rights activist Auguste von Littrow,Franz Grillparzer, Josef Danhauser, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, Ottilie von Goethe, Carl von Zumbusch. During her childhood and youth stays in Vienna, the Viennese painter Hans Canon, another friend of the Littrow Circle, discovered Leo von Littrow's talent as a painter.


Lea von Littrow

Leo von Littrow grew up between the family homes in Trieste and Fiume, and around 1887 started to live in Abbazia, a marine health resort of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the outskirts of Fiume. She had come here with her father, who came to this place for professional reasons.Impressionism by the equally aristocratic Parisian painter Jean d’Alheim, a student of the romantic Alexandre Calame. After various successful exhibitions in Vienna, Bremen, Munich and London, starting from around 1885 Leo von Littrow started to be considered a successful painter of the sea and the Italian and Austro-Hungarian landscape and traditional life. Her pergola and garden views became particularly popular. After a first joint trip to Ragusa with Austrian impressionist artist Olga Wisinger-Florian in 1887, a long-standing friendship developed between the two, which was important for the artistic style of both of them. In these years Leo von Littrow developed her own individualistic, light-flooded and pure color style of impressionism.

Even before the turn of the century, Littrow was considered a well-established impressionist of the South. She sold pictures to crowned heads and important collectors: Ferdinand I the Prince of Bulgaria, Archduke Charles Stephen of Austria and Crown Princess Stephanie of Austria, with whom she corresponded and was friends throughout her life and who frequented her studio in Abbazia. Leo and Heinrich von Littrow's closest friends and collectors of their pictures included the industrialist and co-inventor of the torpedo Robert Whitehead and his daughter and son-in-law Alice Countess von Hoyos and Georg von Hoyos.

Leo von Littrow died in her hometown of Abbazia in 1925.

Irish in Milwaukee

Milwaukee has a decent sized Irish-American population.

History

Following the Irish Famine of 1845-1849, over 2.1 million people left Ireland, many of whom sailed overseas to America, including to port cities on the Great Lakes. Thought not as popular a destination as Chicago or Cleveland, many Irish people found their way to Milwaukee.

Festivals and institutions

Every third weekend in August, Milwaukee Irish Fest is held on the Henry Maier Festival Grounds.

The Irish Cultural and Heritage Center of Wisconsin serves the Greater Milwaukee area in preserving Irish heritage and traditions as well as hosting various performing artists throughout the year.

Miltown Gaels represents Milwaukee at the national level in Gaelic Games.

Crown Prince Bridge

The Crown Prince Bridge (German: Kronprinzenbrücke) is a road bridge over the River Spree in the city of Berlin. It links the Berlin quarters of Mitte and Tiergarten with the parliamentary quarter within the borough of Bezirk Mitte. The structure carries Konrad-Adenauer-Straße – the continuation of Reinhardtstraße – which has two vehicle lanes as well as cycleways and footpaths on both carriageways. Immediately on the western end of the bridge is the children's nursery of the German Bundestag and the Spreebogenpark.

History

Its predecessor was a wooden bascule bridge built in 1709 below the Schönhauser Graben stream and known as the Unterbaum Bridge. In 1828 it was moved upstream and modified. From 1877 to 1879 a new bridge was built on the western Kronprinzenufer bank, and was named after the then German crown prince, Frederick William. The structure was a cast iron, timber framed, arch bridge with three arches and a width of 22 metres. The centre arch had an opening of 18.68 metres wide, the two outer arches were each 15.48 metres wide. The piers and abutments were made of clinker bricks, clad with granite in places, the foundations were of concrete.

Detail of the old Crown Prince Bridge

At the end of the Second World War the Crown Prince Bridge was badly damaged and, after 1945, was provisionally maintained. With the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 the bridge was closed and lost its importance as a transport route because the River Spree was a sector boundary here. In 1972, it was torn down by East German officials to avoid refugees travelling from East Germany to the West. The piers and abutments were left in place.

Present bridge

More than 20 years later, the bridge was rebuilt as a symbol of peace and the reunification of Germany.

Its design was based on a submission by the winner of a contest, and then was developed into a full project. Its main engineer, Gerhard Sedlacek, is the designer of the revolutionary support system holding it up on either side of the river (the elbows are visible nearest to the water). This was necessary to avoid having piers which would have hampered navigation.

Casa Dipinta of Todi

The Casa Dipinta of Todi is a painted former vacation home of the artist Brian O'Doherty and his wife Barbara Novak located at Via delle Mura Antiche #25 at the intersection with Via Santa Prassede, in the historic center Todi, region of Umbria, Italy.

During a visit to the home of the sculptor Beverly Pepper in Todi, the O'Doherty and Novak decided to purchase a vacation home in the town. They proceeded to decorate the plastered areas of the previously nondescript 18th-century home in bright colors, often with primitive and sometimes whimsical trompe-l'œil windows. The artists detailed a more complex explanation for the program of works through the house, which is now on display as a museum.

Lea Valley Walk

The Lea Valley Walk is a 50-mile (80 km) long-distance path located between Leagrave, the source of the River Lea near Luton, and the Thames, at Limehouse Basin, Limehouse, east London. From its source much of the walk is rural. At Hertford the path follows the towpath of the River Lee Navigation, and it becomes increasingly urbanised as it approaches London. The walk was opened in 1993 and is waymarked throughout using a swan logo.

Route

Stage 1 Leagrave - Hatfield

Approximately 19.9 miles (32.0 km)

Signpost above Enfield Lock. A glimpse of Government Row in the background. Note the variant spellings of the river

The walk can be accessed close to Leagrave railway station at Leagrave Common where there are a number of springs and ponds from which the Lea forms. The first part of the walk is through the suburbs of Luton. After passing through Wardown Park the path joins the A6 road and goes through the town centre passing St Mary's Church as it heads close to the runways of Luton Airport. The A505 road is crossed as the trail makes its way through open countryside towards Harpenden.

The path descends into the Lea Valley, passing under the railway lines before crossing the B653 road. The route now follows the track of a disused railway, the former Luton, Dunstable and Welwyn Junction line. After Harpenden the path leaves the railway track and heads uphill into Wheathampstead, then it goes through the village, past the church, and crosses over to the other bank of the river. The path now follows the river towards Water End Lane and the grounds of Brocket Hall where it crosses the middle of a golf course on its way towards Lemsford. The path goes under the A1 road to Stanborough Park.

Stage 2 Hatfield - Broxbourne

Approximately 16.1 miles (25.9 km)
