Luanshya Boys Secondary School

Luanshya Boys High School is a high school located in Luanshya, Copperbelt Province, Zambia. The school was founded in 1957.
The school underwent a change from a secondary school to a high school in 2009. The school, like most government high schools, is mostly funded by user fees from pupils.
History.
The school has been noted as one of the schools that has been in existence since the Northern Rhodesia British colonial period in Zambia's history.
Luanshya Boys High School was first a co-ed school. It was also one of the first schools to accept non-white students in January 1964 following Northern Rhodesia becoming semi-independent following the break up of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland at the end of 1963.
Later in 1964 when Zambia became an independent nation, the school, like most others of a similar nature become fully integrated. Also at that time school fees were payable, but only by the 1964 intake and throughout their five years at the school. Those prior and those who followed did not pay.
By 1998 the school was virtually 100% African students as most non-Africans had left the town or preferred to send their children down south or overseas for their education. Why I don't know as I had a very good time there and the quality was good.
Luanshya Secondary school also had the distinguished record of being the first schools whose Cadet Contingent won the prestigious Presidents Banner in 1968 by winning almost all the 1st Battalion ZCCF competitions and then beating the champion contingent of the 2nd Battalion in a falling plates shooting competition at the ABTA Camp of 1968. The banner was handed over to us by Brigadier Gen Grigg, then commander of the Zambia Army, on behalf of President Kenneth Kaunda. We proudly carried that banner through Luanshya after the war memorial that year, from the war memorial (cenotaph) near the mine club, all the way back to the school, a march of about 4 km, in full uniform and in November, when it was pretty sweltering.
The school is run by the help of a Student Body or School Council which consists of elected representatives from various classes. The term of office for the Councillors is one year. The school council in the 1960s was chaired by the headmaster, Mr S Bottom and consisted of him, two other senior staff members, head prefects (boys and girls) and one class rep from each year. Although we had no real say in the running of the school, there was opportunity to get our views across to the authorities and, at times, made things better for the scholars, as well as staff and parents.
References.
The references to myself, Robert L. Taylor, should read that I graduated in 1968. (By 1998 i was a little too old to have been attending high school!)

Commemorating George Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland, the monument is an ashlar obelisk on square plinth, standing on stepped base. The construction was originally funded through £933.15s collected from the Duke's tenants. Originally there were two lions and two griffins at each corner, however these were damaged after a violent thunderstorm and were removed.
There are two inscribed tablets on the monument, on both the north and south faces. The inscription on the southern side reads "LET ALL THE ENDS THOU AIMEST AT BE THY COUNTRY'S, THY GOD'S AND TRUTH'S", a quote from William Shakespeare's play "Henry VIII" spoken by the character Cardinal Wolsey. This references an exclamation made by the Duke of Sutherland during the 1820 trial of Queen Caroline.

Historic England have classified the monument as a Grade II Listed Building.


New Town Hall, Ostrava

The New Town Hall of Ostrava is the most architecturally important and largest town hall complex from the Interwar period in the Czech Republic. It also has a prominent Czech Modernist style clock and observation tower, the tallest from the period. It is located just outside the old town, on the left bank of the River Ostravice, on Sokolska Trida.
In 1923 architects Kolář & Rubý took part in the competition for the construction of a new town hall. The jury chose Vladimír Fischer (1870-1947) as the best proposal, but suggested that they draw up the final project together. The design changed from more traditional and classical to stylised, illustrating the growing influence of Modernism. Construction work began in November 1924 and the project was completed in 1930. The young architect Karel Kotas was entrusted with the construction management. The building, with a total cost of 52 million Crowns, was inaugurated on 28 October 1930 on the occasion of the National Day of the Czechoslovak Republic.
Due to the instability of the subsoil, instead of the planned heavy masonry tower, a lightweight steel structure clad with copper and glass was finally adopted. The tower is 85.6 meters high, the tallest for a town hall in the Czech Republic at the time. Under the tower is placed a unique ribbed reinforced concrete slab. The tower clock weighs more than half a ton, and its dial is 3.5m in diameter. In the tower there is an information center and a viewing terrace at 73 m. The clock tower terminates the axis of 30 April Street.
The new town hall is also the largest town hall complex in the country, with wings on either side enclosing a large square. The north part was to house county administration, with city functions in the south wing. The square has changed its name several times, beginning as Jan Prokes Square, after then mayor of Ostrava, VŘSR Square during the Socialist period, and Prokeš Square again from 1989. A statue to the first President of Czechoslovakia Tomáš Masaryk was originally intended in the centre, but did not eventuate. In 1999 a 3.5m high statue of Icarus was unveiled.
The architecture is stylised classical, with simple vertical piers with a simple copper roof to the flanking three storey wings. The four storey facade of the main section is more elaborate, with an arcaded portico entrance supporting a terrace, with four full height pilasters above, topped by four 3.2 m high bronze statues by Václav Mach which symbolize the four functions of the city: mining, trade, science and metallurgy. There is a passage through the main wing to the riverbank beyond where there is a part open air restaurant.
In the south wing of the building there is a paternoster lift, one of the last in Ostrava. The interior of the public section is lined with marble, mahogany and other rare woods. The vestibule and main staircase is clad in patterned stone, with a brass lighting fixture from the 1970s. On the upper floor there is a large meeting hall, the Council meeting room, and an office for the Mayor of Ostrava, lined with precious timbers, with original modernistic light fittings and furniture.

Church of the Risen Lord

The Church of the Risen Lord is a Protestant church located at the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman, Quezon City, Philippines. It arose about 50 years ago through a Protestant student group named the Christian Youth Movement (CYM).
Architecture.
Another architectural innovation is Cesar Concio's Church of the Risen Lord. It is a stone throw from Leandro Locsin’s circular chapel, the Parish of the Holy Sacrifice. The structure was proclaimed in the fifties as “an engineering masterpiece with its double parabola.” The chapel was saddle-shaped – a hyperbolic paraboloid with flat ends. The lower slopes of the vaulted wall were punctured by windows and vertical louvers at both sides of the longitudinal elevation. The glass-clad façade had an opening defined by a smaller arch that supported a cantilevered porte-cochere. This entrance directly led to the processional nave, terminating the vision at the altar. Just above the entrance, a choir loft could be ascended via a circular winding stair. It is one of the few churches that is modernly designed and lacks iconographic religious references.
Architectural critic I.V. Mallari in his 1957 article in the Sunday Times Magazine entitled “The Ugly City” identified and lambasted specimens of modern architecture in Manila as miniaturized facsimiles of modern architecture abroad. His enumeration included Concio's chapel in Diliman which he claimed to have been drawn from a chapel in Wichita, Kansas.

The original guildhall, which was commissioned by Roger Thornton, was completed in the early 15th century and had to be demolished after being badly damaged in a fire in 1639.
The new building was designed by Robert Trollope and completed in 1655. Following a poor harvest, the building was attacked by a crowd of 3,000 angry and hungry local people during a riot on 26 June 1740. Fine woodworks, paintings and court records were destroyed and at least one protestor was shot and killed by the military authorities. Five of the alleged ringleaders of the riot were sentenced to seven years of transportation.
By the early 19th century both the north and south elevations had been re-fronted in the classical style. The north elevation, which was re-fronted to the designs of William Newton and David Stephenson in 1794, was given a Palladian style entrance with four Ionic order columns on the first floor. Meanwhile, the south elevation which was re-fronted to the designs of John and William Stokoe in 1809, was given arcading on the ground floor and a Doric order frontage on the first floor.
The old Maison de Dieu, which had been completed by Roger Thornton in 1412, was demolished to make way to an eastern extension to the guildhall to the designs by John Dobson in 1823. The mayor and sheriff were allowed to hold the borough courts in the building and it was also the meeting place of Newcastle Town Council until 1863 when the council re-located to larger facilities at Newcastle Town Hall in St Nicholas Square.
The interior of the building features a main hall which is long and wide and has an oak ceiling. The "Merchant Venturers' Court" where travellers, sailing in or out of the River Tyne, would meet, contains a large 17th century chimney piece, some fine oak carvings and some religious decorations, while the mayor's parlour is panelled and decorated with local scenes.

History.
In 1831 the traders of the port of Cardigan made an application to build a light, and this was authorised in 1834.

The lighthouse was converted to electric operation in 1959, and in 1971 a helipad was constructed at the site. Finally, the lighthouse was automated and demanned in 1983.
Like many in the UK, it is now monitored from the control centre at Trinity House in Harwich, Essex, England.
Architecture.
The tower is built of granite, and is circular with a slight taper. A cornice at the top of the tower has iron railings, this is unusual in lighthouses designed by James Walker. Accommodation for the keepers was provided in two adjoining houses, which were built at the same time as the tower. Other buildings accommodate equipment.
Seabirds.
It was built in the path of many migrating sea birds, and the brilliance of the light at night often led the birds to dash themselves against the lantern. Many died and, when Trinity House and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds teamed up, they together came to the conclusion to build special bird perches on the side of the lighthouse lantern. After this the number of deaths decreased considerably.

Temple (film)

Temple is a 2017 horror film directed by Michael Barrett (in his directorial debut) and written by Simon Barrett. Logan Huffman, Natalia Warner, and Brandon Tyler Sklenar star as Americans who visit Japan to research local temples. Once there, they become obsessed with investigating a temple said to be haunted. It is an international co-production between the United States and Japan.
Plot.
In Japan, a professor and his interpreter question a wounded and bandaged man. Both ask questions of each other that go unanswered. When the professor plays a videotape, the wounded man flashes back to before he was injured.
Kate, a university student studying comparative religion, invites her friend Chris, who is recovering from the loss of his brother, to join her in a trip to Japan, where she intends to study local temples. Kate's boyfriend, James, though surprised to find Kate and Chris have been platonic friends since childhood, says he is not jealous of their relationship. Chris, who speaks some Japanese, translates for the group when they arrive in Japan. After engaging in sight-seeing, they stop at a book store. Kate finds a book of Japanese folklore and becomes intrigued by a temple depicted in it. When Chris attempts to purchase the book, the proprietor abruptly refuses to sell it and closes her shop. Confused, the trio return to their hotel. Later that night, Chris and James visit a club, where Chris sees James kiss and dance with other women.
Upon leaving the club, Chris returns to the bookstore, where he comes upon a young boy, Seita, who claims to work there. After Seita sells him the folklore book, Chris experiences several strange encounters, feeling that something is stalking him. At a bar, a man tells him that the temple depicted in the book is nearby but is rumored to be haunted, and the bartender gives him directions to a village near the temple. Though they warn him to stay away, Chris presents the book to Kate, who becomes excited to visit it; James is less enthused. They at first have trouble finding a villager that will talk to them, but one tells them of a man named Hitoshi, who returned from a trip to the temple blind and claiming to have had visions. The trio at first laugh off the stories.
Chris gets them a room at an inn, where he comes upon Seita again. Seita, who says he lives in the village, offers to take them to the temple the next day. After agreeing, Chris sees an eyeless man; he identifies himself as Hitoshi and reveals that 50 years ago, several children went missing. The villagers found a monk at the temple, and, not believing his story, killed him. That night, Chris watches Kate and James as they have sex until he becomes convinced he has seen someone outside his room. James is annoyed at both the commotion Chris causes and that Chris has apparently been spying on them. The next day, Seita leads them to the temple. Along the way, they find an abandoned mine, which James wants to explore. He reluctantly leaves it so they can reach the temple before dark.
Seita leaves for home shortly after they arrive. The temple is guarded by the statue of a kitsune, a legendary fox-human hybrid. James is disappointed in the temple but agrees to let Kate explore it. After being spooked by something in the forest while examining a nearby graveyard, she agrees they should leave. Before they can, hands pull Chris through a wooden floor, and he breaks his leg. James makes a splint and promises to return to town for help in the morning. However, when James overhears a conversation between Chris and Kate in which she alludes to having had an abortion without telling James, he leaves immediately. Chris and Kate cuddle together until Kate hears James cry out in the distance.
A kitsune chases after James. Following his cries, Kate returns to the mine, only to find him disfigured and eyeless. When she flees, she discovers the mine's entrance has collapsed, trapping her. At the same time, the missing children attack Chris at the temple. In the present, the bandaged man, whom the professor believes to be Chris, denies having killed Kate and James, despite evidence from Chris' camera, which apparently shows him attacking James. The bandaged man becomes enraged when they deny that Seita is there with them, and he stabs the translator with a pen before escaping the room.
Release.
Screen Media Films released it in the United States on September 1, 2017.
Critical response.
Critical reception for "Temple" has been mostly negative upon its release.
Justin Low of "The Hollywood Reporter" wrote that the film "comes off as more of a half-hearted attempt at exploiting typical J-horror themes than an actual homage". Writing for the "Los Angeles Times", Kimber Myers said that the film has some nice visuals but offers nothing new. Ed Gonzalez of "Slant Magazine" rated it one out of five stars and called it a "walking tour of J-horror's hoariest signposts" that might have been better had Simon Barrett's regular partner, Adam Wingard, directed it. Ryan Larson of "Nightmarish Conjurings" gave the film a negative review, writing, "Although the movie is very clearly filled with good intentions, it misses the mark. It can’t quite decide how scary it wants to be, what monsters it wants to use, it can’t even decide which character it wants the female lead to end up with." Matt Boiselle from Dread Central awarded the film one and a half out of five stars, panning the film's slow pacing, lack of suspense, and conclusion. Simon Abrams from Roger Ebert.com gave the film a "Thumbs down", calling the film" dull and misconceived", and panning the film's pacing, plot, ineffective scares, "boring" characters, and cinematography. Jake Dee of Arrow in the Head rated the film a score of four out of ten, calling it " a boring, underdone conjuration of worn out J-horror convention".

Calumet Feeder Canal

The Calumet Feeder Canal was a short canal in Illinois, operated during the mid-19th century. It connected the Little Calumet River to the Illinois and Michigan (I&M) Canal, and ran from Blue Island, where the Little Calumet made a hairpin turn toward Lake Michigan, to meet the I&M canal at Sag Bridge. The canal was completed in 1849, and covered . It was one of four feeder canals built for the I&M, the others being the Du Page Feeder, Fox River Feeder and Kankakee Feeder.
The canal was surveyed in 1845; construction began in 1848, and was completed late in the winter of 1848-1849. It began to operate in 1849. The Calumet Feeder was constructed principally to provide additional water so that the I&M canal could maintain a navigable depth, but it also carried commercial traffic of its own. The construction of the canal brought significant economic development to Blue Island.
As built, the canal was wide at the surface, wide at the base, and deep, with of freeboard. To avoid flooding from the Little Calumet, a control lock was installed on the dam at Blue Island.
After the city of Chicago began to operate steam engines at the Bridgeport pumping station in 1859, the canal was no longer regularly used as a water supply for the I&M. The canal became extremely controversial in Indiana, because of the large dam that had been constructed in order to accumulate sufficient water in the Little Calumet to supply the canal. The water from the dam backed up into Indiana and reduced the value of farmland there. In 1874, when the canal was no longer needed, Illinois breached the dam at Indiana's request. The order for the removal of the dam was issued on April 9, 1874. From that point the feeder ceased entirely to function as a water source for the I&M.
The construction of the deeper Calumet Sag Channel in the 1910s drained the remaining water out of the Calumet Feeder. Today very little remains of the canal, apart from some fragments of the original dam near Blue Island.

Cherkley Court

Cherkley Court, at the extreme southeast of Leatherhead, Surrey, in England, is a late Victorian neo-classical mansion and estate of , once the home of Canadian-born press baron Lord Beaverbrook. The main house is listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England.
History.
The house was built in 1866-70 for Birmingham exporter of metal goods Abraham Dixon (1815-1907) and rebuilt for him in 1893 after a fire, being lived in by his wife until her death in 1909. Cherkley Court was acquired in 1910 by Lord Beaverbrook, politician and owner of the Express Newspapers group, and he lived there for the next fifty years. During Beaverbrook's time, the house attracted many famous weekend guests including Winston Churchill, Bonar Law, Rebecca West, H.G. Wells, Harold Macmillan and Rudyard Kipling.
Beaverbrook passed the house on to his son Max some years before his death in 1964. After the death of Beaverbrook's second wife in 1994, the house became the property of the Beaverbrook Foundation, a charitable foundation set up by Lord Beaverbrook.
Features.
Garden and grounds.
The formal garden of the house is dwarfed by its hilltop woods, which reach the borders of Mickleham and Headley. Paths into the widest part of North Downs to the east adjoin, such as the North Downs Way.
The garden has three, separately listed, original features:
Building.
The building is of eclectic style, with classical features, particularly Tuscan columns. It is made of mostly stuccoed brick, with some uniformly cut stone blocks (ashlar), and slate roofs. It has semi-hexagonal protruding side wings, an irregular plan with a large service block attached at the north-east corner and a flat-roofed pavilion at the south-east corner.
Present use.
By 2002 Cherkley Court had fallen into disrepair but over seven years the Beaverbrook Foundation restored the property, with the intention of opening it to the public in the same way as the great houses owned by the National Trust.
On 1 April 2007 it opened its of formal gardens and walks to paying visitors. As well as grand terraces, garden pavilions, a stone grotto and an Italianate garden there are wild flower meadows, a walnut grove and woodland walks.
However, in December 2009 it was announced that the house would no longer be open to the public, from 2010, the Foundation having decided that it could not be profitable. In September 2010 the house and estate were put on the market at £20 million and purchased by a company called Longshot Cherkley Court, whose plans to turn the main house into a hotel and the grounds into a golf course were opposed by the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) from before the purchase was completed.
In April 2012, the local planning committee considered the proposals in detail and concluded that the opportunity to safeguard the historic building and protect the integrity of the estate, together with the employment prospects that the hotel, spa, golf course and woodland management would provide, outweighed such opposition, and instructed its planning officers to negotiate conditions with the new owners.
In September 2012, planning permission was granted to Longshot Cherkley Court to create a hotel including a health club and spa, plus an 18-hole golf course. This decision met with strong opposition and in August 2013 campaigners, including the CPRE, the Surrey Green Party and the Leatherhead Residents' Association, won a High Court appeal to overturn that decision, on the basis that the project would have an adverse effect on a landscape and area of outstanding natural beauty, and that Surrey did not need another golf course, having 141 already. The CPRE said it expected the developer to repair damage caused by work already started.
However, in May 2014, the Court of Appeal reversed the High Court decision, reinstating planning permission to Longshot. In October 2014, a request for a second judicial review, by The Cherkley Campaign, now leading opposition to the development, was rejected by a High Court judge. The group vowed to pursue further legal action to prevent the development of the golf course going ahead.
Cherkley Court reopened as the Beaverbrook Country House Hotel in 2018.
Location.
Cherkley Court is off the A24 (where it forms the Leatherhead bypass) and its drive begins near the Beaverbrook roundabout (: Landranger Sheet 187, or Explorer 146).


Pirita convent

Pirita Convent () was a monastery for both monks and nuns dedicated to St. Brigitta, located in the district of Pirita in Tallinn, Estonia. It functioned from 1407 to 1575. It was the largest convent in Livonia, and one of the largest in Northern Europe.
History.
The idea of founding the monastery dates to merchants (H. Huxer, G. Kruse, H. Swalbart) of Tallinn of around 1400. In 1407, two monks from Vadstena Abbey arrived in Tallinn to counsel the merchants. The first permit to break dolomite to gather building material for building the complex was acquired in 1417. The convent was constructed under the supervision of the architect Heinrich Swalbart.
The main church of the monastery was consecrated on 15 August 1436 by the Bishop of Tallinn Heinrich II. Several of the merchants who had originally proposed the monastery later became its monks. During its heyday, Pirita Convent became the largest Catholic monastery in Livonia.
The decline of the convent started after the adoption of the Protestant Reformation in Estonia in 1525, although it was allowed to continue to function. During the Livonian War in 1577, Pirita Convent was attacked by Russian troops under the leadership of Ivan the Terrible. They sacked the monastery, looted its riches and burned it down. Pirita Convent was abandoned since then, but local people used adjacent lands as a cemetery.
