Ghost Ballet for East Bank Machineworks

"Aycock's frustration with homogeneous design and rampant urban sprawl seen across America may have found another outlet here with Ghost Ballet. With so many of our roads, bridges, and tunnels in desperate need of repair, projects like this put the wonder and excitement back in physics and engineering and inject a bit of good, imaginative structure back into our environment.”

Khodynka Field

Khodynka Field (Russian: Ходынское поле, Khodynskoye pole) is a large open space in the north-west of Moscow, at the beginning of the present day Leningradsky Prospect. It takes its name from the small Khodynka River which used to cross the neighbourhood.

The field is close to several Moscow Metro stations including Dinamo and Aeroport on the Zamoskvoretskaya Line, and Oktyabrskoe Pole on the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya Line, which is named after Khodynka field.

Early history

Khodynka Field (up to the 17th century "Khodinskiy Meadow") has been known as such since the 14th century. The first mention of this name dates back to 1389, when Knyaz Dmitry Donskoy bequeathed Khodyinsky Meadow to his son Yuri Dmitrievich.

For a long time the field was undeveloped, placed it on arable land Tver coachmen settlement. At the beginning of the 17th century, the army of Tsar Vasili IV fought here against the troops of False Dmitry II.

During the reign of Catherine the Great, in 1775, the field was the scene of grand festivities on the successful conclusion of the war with Turkey with the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca.

In the 19th century, Khodynka was used to celebrate state occasions. In June 1883, the coronation of Alexander III was celebrated here. The event was co-ordinated by Mikhail Lentovsky and included four theatres, a circus, puppet shows, choirs, and orchestras. The climax was an allegorical procession entitled Spring is Beautiful. In May 1896, the site was used to celebrate coronation of Tsar Nicholas II. Rumours about a shortage in food and that the coronation mugs contained a gold coin resulted in a stampede in which more than 1000 (some sources say 1500) people were trampled to death (see Khodynka Tragedy).


Khodynka Field

Major constructions on the field included the 19th century military barracks and the Botkin Hospital, the largest in Moscow at the time of its inauguration in 1910.

Khodynka Tragedy

Main article: Khodynka Tragedy

Crowds at Khodynka Field, 1896

The field is best known as the site of a tragic accident on May 30, 1896 during the festivities of the crowning of Nicholas II.

In the area of one town square, buffooneries, theaters, 150 buffets for distribution of gifts, and 20 pubs were built for the celebrations. Nearby to the celebration square was a field which had a ravine and many gullies. On the evening of May 17, people who had heard rumours of rich coronation gifts from the tsar (the gift was actually a bread roll, a piece of sausage, gingerbread and a mug) began to gather in anticipation.

At about 5 o'clock in the morning of the coronation day, several thousand people were already gathered on the field. A police force of 1800 men failed to maintain civil order, and in a catastrophic crush, and resulting panic to flee the scene, 1389 people were trampled to death and roughly 1300 were otherwise injured.

The negligence of the imperial authorities caused public indignation in Russia, and a number of minor officials were dismissed. However, the new Tsar did not cancel the coronation ball scheduled for later that day. Many mystic writers in Russia say that deed predestined the death of Nicholas in Soviet Russia.

Khodynka Airfield

See also: Khodynka Aerodrome

Khodynka was Moscow's first civilian aerodrome and for many years was a private airfield used by flying enthusiasts.

The first powered flight in Russia took place at Khodynka, carried out in 1910 by Boris Rossinsky. In 1911, pilot Alexander Vasiliev landed his Bleriot XI there, becoming the only finisher of 11 pilots who started a 453-mile race from St. Petersburg to Moscow. Starting in the 1930s, the airfield played annual host to Aviation Day festivities, held on the third weekend in August.


Khodynka Field

A. S. Yakovlev worked as a mechanic at the airfield for a time in the 1920s, and examined the wrecks of various aircraft present in the ravine near the field during work on his earliest powered aircraft designs.

The airfield is surrounded by a variety of restricted-access facilities, including the main headquarters of Aeroflot, design bureaux for Ilyushin, Mikoyan Gurevich (MiG), Sukhoi and Yakovlev, the Aircraft Production Organization No. 30 (MAPO), and GRU headquarters ("the Aquarium"). The National Aviation and Space Museum (aka the National Aeronautics Museum or the Museum of the Air Forces) was on the airfield proper.

Flights into or out of the airfield apparently continued to at least 1989,

Past plans for the site included a modern air and space museum, expected to be the largest in the world upon completion.

Modern developments

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness hoped to have the largest temple in Russia to be erected there, but this did not come to pass due to vocal opposition by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Megasport Arena, an ice sport palace, was opened on the Khodynka Field in 2006, and hosts EuroLeague matches of the PBC CSKA Moscow basketball club. In 2016 CSKA Moscow Stadium was opened on the opposite side of Megasport arena, serving as a home venue for football club CSKA Moscow.

OAS3

2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the OAS3 gene.

This gene encodes an enzyme included in the 2', 5' oligoadenylate synthase family. This enzyme is induced by interferons and catalyzes the 2', 5' oligomers of ATP. These oligomers activate latent RNase L, leading to degradation of both viral and endogenous RNA. This enzyme family plays a significant role in the inhibition of cellular protein synthesis in response to viral infection.

Plot

Keiko, the protagonist, turns 22 in three weeks. She lives in Tokyo and works as a waiter. She mourns her father, who had recently died from cancer. Approaching her birthday, she decides to stay in her room and memorize every single moment. Most of the scenes show Keiko in her apartment, though later she goes out and walks through the city into a snowy field.

Reception

One commentator says that the movie is highly visual and poetic, and that it contemplates on the nature of time and loneliness.

After screening at the 29th Torino Film Festival, it was described by Italian critic Luca Calderini as "an example of poetry in images".

The reviewer Carson Lund calls the movie a "tightly wound and endlessly suggestive cinematic artifact".

S-SCH

S-SCH stands for "Secondary Synchronization Channel in UMTS" (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System).

S-SCH is a pure downlink physical channel broadcast over the entire cell. It is transmitted unscrambled during the first 256 chips of each time slot, in time multiplex with Primary Common Control Physical Channel (P-CCPCH). It is the only channel that is not spread over the entire radio frame.

The S-SCH is repeated at the beginning of each time slot and the same code is used by all the cells and enables the UE to detect the existence of the UMTS cell. The slot synchronization is done using the P-SCH but S-SCH is used to synchronize the UE with the frame boundaries. It also enables the UE to identify the Primary Scrambling Code Group for the cell.

There are sixteen different codes for the 256 chips that are transmitted at the start of each time slot. Using these sixteen unique codes, 64 different code sequences are transmitted which serve two purposes. First the UE can identify the frame boundaries since the 64 sequences are known to a user equipment. Secondly the UE can identify the Primary Scrambling Code (PSC) group of the cell as every code sequence is assigned to a PSC group

Headspace is the first and only album from the Canadian group Pulse Ultra. The album was released on July 16, 2002, via Atlantic Records. A music video was made for the single "Build your Cages".

Reception

CMJ New Music Report wrote in 2002, "Founded in Montreal in 1997, Pulse Ultra is an aggressive, yet melodic rock band that interestingly toys with prog à la Tool, but never loses focus on keeping its songs short and to the point. "Big Brother", the album's first official single, will please anyone who got off on the moody industrial tinges of A Perfect Circle's "Thinking of You", while "Glass Door" is a full-throttle rocker in the style of Ultraspank."Allmusic gave the album a mixed review, stating, "The Montreal-based outfit borrows heavily from the more avant-garde styles of Tool ("Put It Off"), and other moments are more firmly rap-metal in nature ("Void" could be Incubus). While there's nothing wrong with drawing from many different sources—to be sure, the best music usually does—you still can't help but think of one thing when listening to Headspace: contrived."

Lycomedes of Thebes

For other uses, see Lycomedes (mythology).

In Greek mythology, Lycomedes (Ancient Greek: Λυκομήδης Lykomedes) was a Theban armed sentry with Thrasymedes, son of Nestor during the Trojan War.

Family

Lycomedes was the son of Theban regent, Creon of ThebesEurydice or Henioche, and thus, the brother of Menoeceus (Megareus), Haemon, Megara, Pyrrha and Henoiche.

Mythology

Lycomedes fought on the side of the Argives in the Trojan War. No real significant background is given about him in the Iliad. He was listed among the younger leaders and was not a king but of second rank. In the tenth year of the struggle when the Trojans have surrounded the Greeks in their ship's camp, Lycomedes stood as one of the seven guard commanders at nighttime in Book IX at the Greek wall. Other six captains of the sentinels were Thrasymedes, Ascalaphus, Ialmenus, Meriones, Aphareus and Deïpyrus.

When Telamonian Ajax and Teucer had to leave their position on Hector's assault on the wall to deal with Sarpedon's division, Aias ordered Lykomedes to help Ajax the Lesser to help deal with Hector's press.Hector and the Trojan forces broke through the Greek wall. A day later, when Patroclus threw himself back into battle, the Greeks knew how to break through the encirclement and the comrade-in-law of Lycomedes, Liocritus was killed. With great sadness, Lycomedes who saw what had happen, rushed off on his dead friend. Once there, he cast of his bright spear to smote Trojan leader Apisaon in the liver below the midriff and straightway loosed his knees.

Later on, Lycomedes was one of the Greeks who takes gifts for Achilles from the tent of King Agamemnon as these two decisions to settle their dispute.Agenor.

The Nascentes da Serra do Cachimbo Biological Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Biológica Nascentes da Serra do Cachimbo) is a biological reserve in the state of Pará, Brazil. The reserve protects an area in the transition between the Cerrado and Amazon biomes, supporting highly diverse flora and fauna including many endemic species. It is accessible via the BR-163 highway, and is among the federal conservation units in the Amazon Legal that has suffered most from deforestation.

Location

The Nascentes da Serra do Cachimbo Biological Reserve has an area of 342,192 hectares (845,570 acres).Altamira and Novo Progresso in the state of Pará.Menkragnoti indigenous territories.

The Serra do Cachimbo complex is partly a continuous mass of mountains with a south west alignment, partly plateau with flat-bottomed valleys. Altitude ranges from 250 to 740 metres (820 to 2,430 ft) above sea level. Erosion has created ridges and ravines. In the northern part there are escarpments along the transition to the peripheral depression of southern Pará, where the rivers descend in rapids and waterfalls such as the Salto do Curuá.

Springs in the reserve form the Cristalino and São Bento rivers, which are in the Tapajós basin. The Água Fria, Flecha, Nilana, Ipiranga, Xixé, Curuaés, Curuá and Iriri rivers are headwaters of the Xingu River.

Environment

The Nascentes da Serra do Cachimbo Biological Reserve is in the Amazon biome.2,000 millimetres (79 in). Temperatures vary from 18 to 35 °C (64 to 95 °F) with an average of 22 °C (72 °F).Cerrado.

It was considered a priority among the first proposals for large scale conservation in the Amazon.IUCN protected area category Ia (strict nature reserve), with the objective of fully preserving the biota and other natural attributes without direct human interference or environmental changes except where needed to restore and preserve the ecology.

The reserve is in a region that contains 12 sustainable use conservation areas and 6 fully protected areas. The fully protected areas, which cover 6,670,422 hectares (16,482,970 acres), are the Amazônia, Jamanxim, Rio Novo and Serra do Pardo national parks, the Nascentes da Serra do Cachimbo Biological Reserve and the Terra do Meio Ecological Station.Altamira, Amaná, Jamanxim, Trairão, Itaituba I, Itaituba II and Tapajós national forests, covering a total of 7,555,889 hectares (18,671,010 acres).

Threats


Threats

At the time of its creation the reserve had already been occupied for 15 years in about 94 locations by squatters who had moved north from Mato Grosso.923 kilometres (574 mi) network of roads, creating a fragmented and vulnerable landscape. The remaining lumber is not seen as high value, so trees are mostly felled in order to create pasturage.26,402 hectares (65,240 acres) had been deforested, making it among the ten most deforested federal conservation units in the Amazon Legal. More than 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) has been burned by squatters, and about 6% of the reserve has been converted to pasture.

The reserve has also suffered from predatory hunting and fishing. There are two abandoned mining areas covering 325 hectares (800 acres), which affect water quality. There are two small hydroelectric stations on the western margin of the reserve.Flexa Ribeiro of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) proposed to split the reserve into a 162,000 hectares (400,000 acres) National Park open to tourists and a 178,000 hectares (440,000 acres) Environmental Protection Area (APA) in which the inhabitants could engage in livestock breeding and commercial production of rice, bananas, pineapples and coffee.

In 1975 Derek Bailey,Steve Beresford,Paul Burwell,Peter Cusack,Hugh Davies,Evan Parker,John Russell,David Toop,Philipp WachsmannColin Wood

It was independently published and dedicated to the coverage of free improvised music.

Musics, headquartered in London, has not been published since 1979.

In 2016 the Ecstatic Peace Library published Musics: A British Magazine of Improvised Music & Art 1975–79,Thurston Moore.

History and profile

Musics was launched with Issue No. 1 April/May 1975 with the banner "MUSICS an impromental experivisation arts magazine".

Mandy Davidson edited the first issue. Soon afterwards she moved to the US, and it was decided there would be no permanent editor. Max Boucher was appointed production editor. The 'editorial board' moved quickly towards becoming a collective. Each collective member contributed £4 to cover the costs of the first issue, which was run off on an A3 Gestetner duplicator. Issue no.2 was pasted up and printed by offset-litho. Over time the print run was increased and all income was ploughed back. Eventually it was possible to pay the printers (Islington Community Press) to make the plates and run off the copies. However collective members continued to do all the unpaid work of editing and preparing the camera ready artwork. No editors, writers, designers, or photographers were ever paid.

Limiting expenditure was only part of the financial model. From the beginning the Musics collective took the position that they would not accept paid advertising or grant aid, and the only income came from subscriptions and sales through (mostly alternative) bookshops. In addition there were associates in cities such as Bristol and Glasgow who sold copies through local outlets and at performances. In the final months there was an imminent financial crisis, but this was resolved through a successful jumble sale.


Musics (magazine)

The policy of financial independence was copied from Libération, the French daily paper which had no paid ads. The two publications shared a vibrant pluralism, due to their freedom from the influence of advertisers or funding bodies. Musics and Libe were informally affiliated, as can be seen from occasional mutual references in archived copies. Both have a dynamic energy which radiates from the pages - in Musics perhaps almost reaching perfection. (Liberation later reverted to the standard model and it continues in name only.)

Musics came out six times a year, with occasional exceptions.

Musics proposed the destruction of artificial boundaries and linked jazz, the music of composers such as John Cage, and indigenous and non-European musics. It was significant in the discussion of traditional Asian instruments (Clive Bell) as paths of equal value for the performance of musics, a term that discarded the use of the word "jazz".

Early issue covered audio soundscape work, reviewing performance events from a cliff-top piano hurling festival or burning pianos, trap set improvisation against a rising sea tide that drowned cymbals and floated and retuned toms, or drummer Han Bennink's inclusion of saws and power tools in his percussion set. Electronics were explored as micro-environments at a level of equality with acoustic instruments in the precursors of glitch, such as the STEIM experiments with the cracklebox or the circuit board work of Hugh Davies (1943–2005), and an attack on the possibilities of brass instruments, notably by Steve Lacy and Evan Parker.

Lindsay Cooper in her essay Women, Music, Feminism – notes in Musics #14 (October 1977)

Tensions and unresolved contradictions accumulated. A small faction formed within the collective and soon un-democratically added to the artwork for the front cover of issue no.23 the words FINAL ISSUE.

He was awarded an NIH Director's Innovation Award. He was awarded a Jacob Javits Award in the Neurosciences and MERIT Award from NINDS in 2004. Macklis became a Brain Research Foundation Fellow in 2015, and an Allen Distinguished Investigator of the Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group in 2015.Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) investigator in 2017.

Research

The Macklis laboratory is directed toward both 1) understanding molecular controls and mechanisms over neuron subtype development neural development, diversity, axon guidance-circuit formation-growth cone biology, and degeneration-disease in the cerebral cortex cerebral cortex[e.g. corticospinal neurons (CSN) in motor neuron disease (ALS, HSPs, PLS), and associative circuitry in autism (ASD) and intellectual disability], and 2) applying developmental controls toward both brain and spinal cord regeneration and developmentally-directed adult neurogenesis[e.g. CSN circuitry that degenerates in ALS-MND, and whose injury is central to loss of motor function in spinal cord injury] and directed differentiation for in vitro mechanistic modeling using human assembloids.

The lab focuses on neocortical projection neuron development and subtype specification in mice and human neuron models; new approaches to subtype-specific axonal growth cone biology; neural progenitor / “stem cell” biology; induction of adult neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons); and directed neuronal subtype differentiation and core long-distance circuit formation via molecular manipulation of endogenous neural progenitors and pluripotent cells (ES/iPS). The same biology informs understanding of neuronal specificity of vulnerability in human neurodegenerative and developmental diseases. Relationships and application of cortical development to evolution, disease, and regeneration are frequent themes. https://macklislab.hscrb.harvard.edu/


Jeffrey Macklis

The Macklis laboratory has made major contributions to several areas and neuroscience fields. A central contribution of the lab’s early work was in the area of cellular CNS / neocortical circuit repair by transplantation of immature neocortical neurons and neural precursors. In the CNS repair field before, there was focus on tissue block “grafts” or heterotopic cells without neuronal migration or integration, with assumption that integration in post-development CNS (cortex especially) was not possible. Macklis developed an approach of noninvasive, optically-biophysically-targeted, population-specific apoptotic neuronal degeneration, via exogenous long-wavelength chromophore targeting to specific populations by retrograde transport. This enabled investigation of transplantation of developmentally primed and appropriate immature neurons, with integration into new synaptic space, mimicking adult neurogenesis in dentate gyrus and olfactory bulb.

In 2000, the Macklis lab published the first two reports of “induction of neurogenesis”, a contribution that is credited with starting this new subfield. They were first to manipulate endogenous neural progenitors/precursors/“stem cells” in situ (adult mouse) to undergo induced neurogenesis in “non-neurogenic” cortex; demonstrated that newborn neurons progressively migrate, differentiate layer- and region-specifically, and some extend appropriate long-distance projections, with re-formation de novo of targeted, degenerated circuitry in adult mouse cortex to thalamus and spinal cord. In collaborative work, the lab induced behaviorally functional neurogenesis in situ in zebrafinch from endogenous progenitors. The lab published the first identification of function of adult-born mouse neurons (in olfactory bulb)– they uniquely provide a form of synaptic plasticity at cellular level, undergoing response enhancement to novel odorant stimuli (experience-dependent modification) during a critical period, implicating them in olfactory learning, not simply as “replacement cells”.


Jeffrey Macklis

In a linked set of major contributions, the Macklis lab first invented and developed now widely-used approaches to isolate, protect, and FACS purify healthy mouse cortical projection neurons of multiple subtypes at developmentally distinct critical stages, uniquely enabling investigation of subtype- and stage-specific controls over survival, differentiation, axon growth, circuitry formation. This was previously thought impossible, due to neuronal axotomy/dendritotomy. The lab employed this neuronal FACS first for studies of subtype-specific cell biology and context-specific peptide growth factor regulation of diverse projection neurons.

They then identified a set of combinatorially and sequentially interacting molecular controls (largely transcriptional regulators) that direct subtype-specific specification, development, and diversity of projection neurons (in particular, corticospinal, callosal, corticothalamic, corticostriatal, and diverse sub-subtypes with unique circuitry). This FACS-based neuronal purification for transcriptional analysis of small homogeneous samples of multiple subtypes of projection neurons at critical developmental stages enabled addressing major questions re: dynamic and combinatorially interacting molecular developmental controls over subtype-specific development/diversity of distinct subtypes. Early in this work, the lab identified and functionally investigated Ctip2/Bcl11b, Fezl/Fezf2, Sox5, Bhlhb5, Lmo4, RORb, Sox6, Ctip1/Bcl11a, Fog2, and a number of other widely known controls over neuron subtype and area specification in mammalian cerebral cortex.


Jeffrey Macklis

Later portions of this work opened up new thinking in cortical development and regenerative reprogramming, with the first reports of postmitotic regulation of neuronal identity, then of acquisition of precise areal identity, then target-specific axon outgrowth and multi-projection connectivity. This is in contrast to previous views that neuronal differentiation was decided by progenitors just before giving rise to postmitotic neurons. The lab has put forward a theoretical model of a multi-stage, nested "Boolean" “molecular logic” of progenitor- and post-mitotic, areally specific, combinatorial molecular controls over precise development of key cortical and other forebrain projection neuron types. Together, the work has contributed to understanding development, organization, function, and evolution of cortical circuitry, and toward directed differentiation of progenitors or ES/iPS, regeneration, reprogramming, induced neurogenesis, and identification of disease genes.

More recently, the Macklis lab pioneered subcellular molecular investigation of immensely polarized projection neurons (length 103-105 X soma diameter) and their local TF-regulated growth cone and synapse RNA and protein molecular machinery that implements subtype-, circuit-specific brain “wiring” and unique cell biology, then functions in developing synapses, likely in synapse maintenance, function, and dysfunction. They invented subtype-specific fluorescent small particle sorting (FSPS), building on the lab's early development of neuronal FACS. They developed new experimental and analytic approaches for quantitative, comprehensive, high-throughput “subcellular RNA-proteome mapping”, & ultra-low-input proteomics, and nanoRibo-seq for investigation of subcellular translational regulation.

HIV set point

The HIV set point is the viral load or number of virions in the blood of a person infected with HIV. HIV infections are broken down into three stages: acute infection, asymptomatic infection, and AIDS. The acute infection stage refers to the first weeks after infection, where the majority of infected individuals display severe flu-like symptoms such as fever, myalgia, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, arthralgia, fatigue, headache, and sometimes rash. At this stage, viral loads reach high levels and the number of CD4 helper T cells in the blood begins to drop. At this point, seroconversion, the development of antibodies, occurs and the CD4 T cell counts begin to recover as the immune system attempts to fight the virus, marking the HIV set point. The higher the viral load at the set point, the faster the virus will progress to AIDS; the lower the viral load at the set point, the longer the patient will remain in clinical latency, the next stage of the infection. The asymptomatic or clinical latency phase is marked by slow replication of the HIV virus, followed by steady depletion of CD4 T cells with little to no symptoms. For individuals that are rapid progressors, this phase can be short lived, with an average of 2-3 years. Long-term progressors (LTNPS) can remain stable in this stage for over a decade. An uninfected person has 500-1500 CD4 T cells/µL of blood. When this count lowers to less than 500 CD4 T cells/µL, opportunistic infections can occur where the immune system is no longer able to fight pathogens it would have easily cleared in an unimpaired state. The infection progresses to AIDS when the count falls below 200 CD4 T cells/µL, at which point opportunistic infections can be lethal. At this stage, an infected person has 2-3 years of life expectancy. The use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) can greatly slow the progression of the virus to AIDS.

Monumento a los Fundadores de Puebla

The Monumento a los Fundadores de Puebla is installed in Puebla, in the Mexican state of Puebla.Ernesto Tamariz.

Description

The monument consists of an octagonal semipyramidal basement and eclectic style with art deco influence. In the first body, in the upper part an allegory of the city represented by a colonial church built under a Mesoamerican pyramid. In the next body, four angels like Atlanteans support it, in allegory of the founding myth of the city. Below the third body is a set of four sculptures representing Isabel I of Castile, Juan de Salmerón, Julián Garcés, and Toribio de Benavente «Motolinía», 2 which have their names written at their feet. They are divided by pillars that in their upper part have heraldic shields, among them the shield of the city of Puebla de los Ángeles and that of Carlos I of Spain, some of which have been detached or damaged. The last body has different explanatory plates; one indicates "The city of Puebla to its founders, MDXXXI - MCMXXI". Another indicates "Erected by private initiative and by public subscription."

History

Towards the 30s, the capital of Puebla suffered a strong urban expansion towards the Cerro de San Juan area, creating Avenida Juárez as an architectural axis. On the occasion of the fourth centenary of the founding of Puebla, which occurred in 1531, a competition was called in 1928, which was won by the sculptor Ernesto Tamariz. In order to obtain funds for its construction, a committee was formed, headed by Mrs. Serafina Cabrera and Bernardo Tamariz.

The fourth centenary of the Puebla capital brought with it a discussion between various historians and writers in order to clarify the history of the founding of the city and its related characters. Although the initial efforts to establish the new city took place interchangeably between 1531 and 1534, at the time the official date was defined as April 16, 1531.

It was located on Avenida Juárez and 15 Sur, laying the first stone on April 16, 1931. It was completed in 1935, being removed in 1960 to its current location on Paseo San Francisco, between Boulevard 5 de Mayo and Calle avenida 14 east.

History of Rosenborg BK

Nils Arne Eggen was manager for Rosenborg for several periods between 1971 and 2010

Rosenborg Ballklub is a football club from Trondheim, Norway. It was established in 1917 as Odd by 12 boys, and played local friendlies, became it was not permitted to join the Football Association of Norway (NFF). After permission was granted, it took the current name and joined the league system in 1928. Until 1937, Rosenborg played in the regional league, both in the A and B division, after numerous promotions and relegations. Since 1932, the team has played in the Norwegian Football Cup. It jointed the inaugural League of Norway in 1937, but the break-out of the Second World War in 1940 caused a halt to all organized sports.

In 1945, Rosenborg won the ad hoc regional league and play-offs, becoming district champions. It failed in the following season's qualification, and spent the following years up and down between the Third and Second Divisions. In 1958–59, it won the Third Division, and the following season won the Second Division, allowing Rosenborg to play in the Main League. Rosenborg took its first cup trophy in 1960, but in the important 1961–62 season failed to qualify for the new First Division the following season. The club spent four seasons in the Second Division, after which it has played at the top level except in the 1978 season. Rosenborg won the cup again in 1964, allowing it to play in the Cup Winners' Cup the following season. The league was won in 1967, 1969 and 1971—the latter also resulting in the double.

The next league trophy was won in 1985, and then in 1988 and 1990. From 1992 through 2004, Rosenborg took 13 consecutive league trophies, and has since also won three more. The club had limited success in the UEFA tournaments, never coming past the first round, until reaching the group stage of Champions League in 1995, which was subsequently reached eight consecutive times, and eleven times in total. The success during the 1990s has largely been credited to manager Nils Arne Eggen. After his 2002 retirement, the club went through eight managers, with the stable success falling.

Odd


History of Rosenborg BK

Odd

The club was founded by a group of twelve boys aged about 17 from the Rosenborg neighborhood on 19 May 1917. It was named Odd, after the club with the same name in Skien, which at the time was Norway's most successful team. The membership fee was set to 0.25 Norwegian krone (NOK) per week—the same price as a cinema ticket—which would allow them have sufficient funds to buy a kit set within a year. The team did some practices in the Solhaug area during the summer, but could not find any other teams to schedule matches against.

On 19 May 1918, treasurer Karl Skagen presented a complete kit for all twelve members. The top was blue with yellow detailing, while the shorts were white.shift work. Until then, it was only the founders which had been members, but from 1919 new players were recruited. From that year, the club also started organizing dance parties.

Odd was like many of the other clubs in Trondheim not a member of NFF. Instead they played unofficial tournaments and matches against other private clubs in the area. During the early 1920s, the number of clubs joining NFF increased rapidly, and by 1923 Odd only played a single match during the entire season. In 1924, the annual meeting decided to start working with joining NFF through Trondheim Football District, although not without disagreement. This issue, along with a number of younger people joining the club, resulted in a generation change.

Trygve Falstad and Richard Olsen became the team's most important players, and at the same time started negotiating the right to join NFF. At that time, the football district did not want to accept additional clubs, stating that there were insufficient fields to play on, and that people wanting to play football were free to join existing clubs in the city.

Both in 1928 and 1929, Rosenborg won the league—the latter with six of six possible victories, but both times failed the promotion play-off, first against National and then against Rapp, both after extra time. In 1931, Rosenborg was successful, won all league games and beat National in the playoffs.tuberculosis.Freidig.Norwegian Football Cup.

In January 1933, the club's star player Sigurd "Sikken" Fossum announced that he would transfer to SK Brage in the top league, the first incident of better clubs "fishing" a player in Central Norway.Trondheims-Ørn, this time of political reasons. Rosenborg was located in a labor neighborhood, but had chosen to join NFF instead of the Workers' Federation of Sports (AIF). With the rising class awareness of the mid-1930s, socialist politicians and unionists encouraged people to take sides by instead joining worker sports clubs. Odd had considered joining AIF in the late 1920s, but mostly because of NFF's restrictive admittance policy. Nearly all members of the club were working-class, but the club's board stated that it was unnecessary to create politics out of sports.

In 1934, Rosenborg retained their place in the A league, placing fourth.ice hockey team. The goal was initially to establish a good training possibility for the players during the winter, when the city's football grounds were covered by ice and snow. The initiative was taken by Harald Petersen, Olav Fossum and Trygve Falstad, who were worried that the football team would again lose matches because they were outrun by the opponents. At first the training was done on a frozen lake at Lian, Liavannet.
