One Angel Square
One Angel Square[1] is an office building in Manchester, England. Construction work began in 2010 and was completed in February 2013. The landmark building is the head office of the Co-operative Group. Standing 72.5 metres (237.8 feet) tall, the building forms the centrepiece of the new £800 million NOMA development in the northern quarter of Manchester city centre. The building cost at least £105 million to construct and was sold on leaseback terms in 2013 for £142 million.
One Angel Square is one of the most sustainable large buildings in Europe and is built to a BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating. It is powered by a biodiesel cogeneration plant using rapeseed oil to provide electricity and heat. The structure makes use of natural resources, maximising passive solar gain for heat and using natural ventilation through its double-skin facade, adiabatic cooling, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and waste heat recycling.
The building's distinctive form has been compared to a sliced egg and a ship.[16] Its design was announced by architects 3DReid in May 2009 and construction began in July 2010 with a projected completion date in March 2013. In December 2012, the scheme surpassed its pan-European sustainability aims and achieved a world-record BREEAM score of 95.32%. It is also an energy-plus building, producing surplus energy and zero carbon emissions. The building has received numerous awards for its striking aesthetic and sustainability aims.
“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked, when they had made camp that day.
“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.”
I fell in love with this church so I am posting another photo and neat stories.
While my wife and I were here a young man came up and took several pictures.He told us he grew up nearby and went to Church here when he was young.
We all went in and he was telling us all about the Church. Then he told us about the stories of Ghost in the Church.
Below are a couple of stories.
The old church was first thought to be haunted when a group of photographers went there to snap pictures of the building for a historical film.
While they were there, one of them decided to sit down at the piano & play a few bars.
Voices began to become audible behind him. He couldn't hear the voices as he played, but his fellow photographers heard them, & thought it sounded as though they were singing.
They searched for the origin, only to find nothing. Years later, the group returned to the church, this time with a reporter from the Fort Worth Star Telegram joining them.
6 people heard the mysterious voices on that visit. The songs are said to be sung in Norwegian language.This was a true Scandinavian community where Norwegian was the primary language although there were Danes and Swedes here as well.

Aldaba y herrajes en la Casa de Ignacio de Zuloaga. Antigua ermita y hostería del Camino de Santiago, sita en Zumaia, fue adquirida y adaptada, junto a otras edificaciones, por el pintor Ignacio de Zuloaga. En espacio anexo se creó el taller del artista y el conjunto se destinó a museo para las adquisiciones artísticas personales y familiares. En esta casa hay obras de gran calidad artística e importancia histórica, desde el siglo XII al XX; destacando piezas de Goya, Zurbarán y el Greco.

Die Schrägseilbrücke wurde Ende 2008 festgestellt und erst im Dezember 2011 für den Autoverkehr freigegeben. Wegen des Hochwasserschutzes mussten die Planungen für die Vorlandbrücken überarbeitet werden. Der Pylon hat eine Höhe von 77,25 m ü GOK. Im Seitenfeld hat die Brücke eine Stützweite von 82m, die Hauptöffnung beträgt 192m und ist damit Deutschlands längste Schrägseilbrücke in Verbundbauweise.
