Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
The first chronicle references to the word "Voronezh" are dated 1177, when the Ryazan prince Yaropolk, having lost the battle, fled "to Voronozh" and there was moving "from town to town". Modern data of archeology and history interpret Voronezh as a geographical region, which included the Voronezh river (tributary of the Don) and a number of settlements. In the lower reaches of the river, a unique Slavic town-planning complex of the 8th – early 11th century was discovered, which covered the territory of the present city of Voronezh and its environs (about 42 km long, about 13 forts and many unfortified villages). By the 12th – 13th centuries, most of the old towns were desolate, but new settlements appeared upstream, closer to Ryazan.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.

Associated Student Government President Michael Cash tells his classmates: "Si se puede—yes, you can."
The Katsura Imperial Villa (桂離宮 Katsura Rikyū), or Katsura Detached Palace, is a villa with associated gardens and outbuildings in the western suburbs of Kyoto, Japan (in Nishikyō-ku, separate from the Kyoto Imperial Palace). It is one of Japan's most important large-scale cultural treasures.
Its gardens are a masterpiece of Japanese gardening, and the buildings are even more important, one of the greatest achievements of Japanese architecture. The palace includes a shoin ("drawing room"), tea houses, and a strolling garden. It provides an invaluable window into the villas of princes of the Edo period.
The palace formerly belonged to the princes of the Hachijō-no-miya (八条宮) family. The Imperial Household Agency administers it, and accepts visitors by appointment.
History
The Katsura district of Kyoto has long been favored for villas, and in the Heian period, Fujiwara no Michinaga had a villa there. The members of the Heian court found it an elegant location for viewing the moon.
Prince Hachijō Toshihito (智仁; 1579–1629), the first of the Hachijō-no-miya line, established the villa at Katsura. The prince was a descendant of Emperor Ogimachi, and younger brother of Emperor Go-Yozei. Once adopted by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he cancelled the adoption when Hideyoshi had a son, and founded the Hachijō-no-miya house.
The shoin of Katsura Imperial Villa is divided into three parts: the Old Shoin, the Middle Shoin, and the New Palace. The Old Shoin was built in around 1616.[1] The construction of the shoin, teahouse and garden continued in the time of the second prince, Toshitada (智忠; 1619–1662), and reached completion after some decades.
The Hachijō-no-miya house changed its name to Tokiwai-no-miya (常磐井宮), Kyōgoku-no-miya (京極宮), and finally Katsura-no-miya (桂宮), before the line died out in 1881.
The Imperial Household Ministry took control of the Katsura Detached Palace in 1883, and since World War II, the Imperial Household Agency has been in control.
Katsura Imperial Villa in spring
The Old Shoin, Middle Shoin and New Palace are each in the shoin style, with irimoya kokerabuki (柿葺) roofs. The Old Shoin shows elements of the sukiya style in places like the veranda. A space called the moon-viewing platform protrudes even farther from the veranda, and shows that the main theme of Katsura Detached Palace was moon-viewing.
The walls of the Middle Shoin and New Palace have ink-paintings by the school of Kanō Tan'yū (狩野 探幽). The shelving in the upper room of the New Palace is considered especially noteworthy.
The strolling garden takes water from the Katsura River for the central pond, around which are the Shōkintei (松琴亭), Shōkatei (賞花亭), Shōiken (笑意軒), and Gepparō (月波楼); tea houses, hill, sand, bridge, and lanterns. There is also a Buddhist hall, Onrindō (園林堂).

Luftman, Heck & Associates LLP is a Law firm based in Columbus, Ohio. Their current website is 100% flash so they needed a total overhaul so this is the how their new site is going to look in a few weeks. I really enjoy working on corporate sites, specially when they give you enough freedom to speak your mind and share your points of view.
One other thing that I found particularly interesting about this project is that I tried to De-Web-2.0-lize (does that even mean something?) the design and stay away from the gradients. I also used lots of negative margins and I chose Verdana size 11 for the copy. Good news is the client is very happy with the result and the site should be launched in the next few weeks.

Parish Church of Ober-St. Veit ("Mary, Refuge of Sinners", "St. Vitus")
One of the most impressive religious buildings of the 13th District is the in a privileged position on a hill located parish of Upper-St. Veit.
The beginnings of a church complex at this location date back to the 12th century. The earliest - indirect - documented mention of a parish of St. Vitus, and thus an associated church, is the between 1260-1298 written letter of Curé Helias of St. Veit to the bailiff of Baumgarten.
The still under the choir existing crypt stems with a high probability from this earliest construction. It presents above a powerful polygonal central pillar cross vault. In 1800 it was still a consecrated chapel in which altar figures of the Virgin and St. John were located. The altar table dates from the year 1745. 1904 the connection with the upper church was bricked up.
The plan of the 1433 by the patronage master cathedral provost William Tuers newly built God's house, which had only a two-bay nave is handed down by a building documentation of Matthias Gerl.
Originally, the on three sides by an embankment wall surrounded church was open at the east side of a no longer extant castle. The still partly visible, pillar-supported wall had a parapet and embrasures, which were recognizable in part until the new building of the vicarage (1962).
After the destruction by the Turks in 1535 by Bishop Fabri took place a restoration of the church, 1609/10, it came to the erection of the St. Anne's, St. John's and Our Lady Altar. 1553 and 1615 new bells were installed.
The Saint construction dates back to 1742 and was built according to the plans of the Viennese Court architect Matthias Gerl the Younger in three years of construction. Interestingly, is found in the Stuttgart Nicolai Collection a drawing of the church tower "of St. Vitus, three hours of Vienna" from the year 1746. Supervised was the construction by the archiepiscopal ornamental and pleasure gardener Anton Mayr. The entire community for the church building rendered so-called hand and draught services, which are simple auxiliary works, to relieve the patronage master, the Archbishop of Vienna, Cardinal Sigmund Graf Kollonitsch, financially. His coat of arms can be seen on the tympanum of the south entry. The consecration of the church took place on 22 August 1745.
Matthias Gerl then by the still existing west tower of the castle and the Gothic choir with a thereto attached northeast steeple in its design possibilities was constricted. In an advanced stage of planning, he renounced the western tower, so that he could expand the central space.
In 1887 followed a major renovation of the entire church building; 1895, the kerosene lamps were removed and replaced by gas light.
The changes inside the church, which the pastor H. Riedl undertook 1901-1908, partly exist yet and are not without controversy. For example, in 1902 the former sacristy cemetery was converted to the Antonius chapel, later the exit into the crypt walled up and the, unfortunately, stylistically not suitable floor in center and traverse aisle laid. For the two large side windows in the nave he had painted new stained glass windows. They were donated by the families Rohrbacher and Glasauer and existed there until 1958. A small excerpt from one of the windows is as a wall decoration in the largest room of St. Vitus-House.
1994/95, the much needed facade renovation of the parish church could be carried out.
1965, a baptistery was built according to plans by Georg Lippert on the north side of the nave. It served also as a confessional chapel and religious site for the working days.
In 1994, a chapel new building was erected in its place. The plans were drawn by Hermann Bauer. The in comparison to the old building towards the north enlarged chapel is both accessible from inside the church and from the entranceway to the church, a vitrified connection. The opening times of the chapel are independent from those of the parish church. The ratio of the height of the ceiling to the height of the wall is based on the golden section; the wooden structure of the stepped ceiling is visible. The semi-circular, bricked and flanked by two, positioned ahead columns sanctuary is located in the central part of the glazed north façade and receives indirect, natural light from above. The chapel floor is covered with Greek marble. The altar lower part of Wachauer marble on the front side has twelve figures in relief representing the twelve apostles, in a broader sense, the people of God. The ambo of the same material shows the Resurrected with the disciples of Emmaus. Altar and ambo are from the Lienz artist Peter Niedertscheider. The baptismal font is a work from the 19th century.
