Ritenuta una delle fontane più belle di Roma fu realizzata in travertino da Gian Lorenzo Bernini nel 1643. Fra le code dei delfini che sorreggono la conchiglia sulla quale si accovaccia il tritone, il Bernini ha posizionato due stemmi dei Barberini. Il tritone che soffia con impeto in una conchiglia fa uscire il getto d'acqua che, ricadendo nelle valve e poi dalle scannellature di queste nella vasca sottostante, crea una coreografia di grande effetto.
Thought to be one of the most beautiful Roman fountains, it was built in travertine by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1643. Between the dophins' tails which support the shell on which the Triton crouches, Bernini placed two coats of arms of the Barberini family. The Triton which blows in the shell pushes out a jet of water, which, falling on the valves which direct it into the basin below, creates an incredibly choreographic effect.
The remains of the walls of the Krakow ghetto that existed from 1941 till 1943.
Persecution of the Jewish population of Kraków began soon after the Germans entered the city in September 6, 1939 during their Invasion of Poland. Jews were obliged to take part in forced labor from September on. In November 1939, all Jews 12 years or older were required to wear identifying armbands. Throughout Kraków, synagogues were ordered closed and all their relics and valuables turned over to the Nazi authorities.
By May 1940, the German occupation authority announced that Kraków should become the "cleanest" city in the General Government, an occupied, but unannexed part of Poland. Massive deportation of Jews from the city were ordered. Of the more than 68,000 Jews in Kraków when the Germans invaded, only 15,000 workers and their families were permitted to remain. All other Jews were ordered out of the city, to be resettled into surrounding rural areas.
The Kraków Ghetto was formally established on March 3, 1941 in the Podgórze district, not in the Jewish district of Kazimierz. Displaced Polish families from Podgórze took up residences in the former Jewish dwellings outside the newly established Ghetto. Meanwhile, 15,000 Jews were crammed into an area previously inhabited by 3,000 people who used to live in a district consisting of 30 streets, 320 residential buildings, and 3,167 rooms. As a result, one apartment was allocated to every four Jewish families, and many less fortunate lived on the street.
The Ghetto was surrounded by walls that kept it separated from the rest of the city. All windows and doors that gave onto the "Aryan" side were ordered bricked up. Only four guarded entrances allowed traffic to pass through. In a grim foreshadowing of the near future, these walls contained panels in the shape of tombstones. Small sections of the wall still remain today.
From May 30, 1942 onward, the Nazis implemented systematic deportations from the Ghetto to surrounding concentration camps. Thousands of Jews were transported in the succeeding months as part of the Aktion Krakau headed by SS-Oberführer Julian Scherner. Jews were assembled on Zgody Square first and then escorted to the railway station in Prokocim. The first transport consisted of 7,000 persons, the second, of additional 4,000 Jews deported to Belzec extermination camp on 5 June 1942. On March 13-March 14, 1943 the Nazis carried out the final 'liquidation' of the ghetto under the command of SS-Untersturmführer Amon Göth. Eight thousand Jews deemed able to work were transported to the Plaszow labor camp. Those deemed unfit for work – some 2,000 Jews – were killed in the streets of the ghetto on those days. Any remaining were sent to die in Auschwitz.

During World War II, the Radogoszcz station built originally between 1926 and 1937, was the main railway link of the Łódź Ghetto to the outside world, used predominantly for the Holocaust transports organized by German Nazis.
In 2004, the commemoration ceremonies on the 60th anniversary of the destruction of the Łódź Ghetto in 1944 and the departure of the last transport from Radegast spurred efforts to transform the former station into a Holocaust memorial. On August 28, 2005, a monument commemorating the Jewish victims who passed through the station was unveiled, based on design by Czesław Bielecki, and featuring the 140 metres Tunnel of the Deported. The renovated station building serves as one of the divisions of the Łódź Museum of Independence.
This was the eastern edge of the northern part of the Warsaw ghetto from November 1940 to December 1941....

Photo, c. 1887 of the Finlay Ross home at 821 North Waco Avenue in Wichita, KS. This residence is confirmed to have been built by William Henry Sternberg (1832 - 1906) and many of
Sternberg's design influences can be seen in this home. Sternberg was the leading designer and builder of fine homes such as this one in the Wichita area in the last quarter century of the 1800s. Finlay Ross was a prominent businessman in Wichita and later on became Mayor of Wichita during which time he established Riverside Park - ever popular today. While headquartered in Wichita KS, Sternberg did branch out and build fine homes and buildings throughout southern Kansas and Missouri. To wit, in the late 1800s, Sternberg built the original limestone City Hall in Springfield MO (now the Greene County Historical Museum), still standing today and on the National Register of Historic Places.
Sternberg was a highly skilled and popular builder during Wichita’s boom years of the 1870s and 1880s. Mr. Sternberg came to Kansas from New York in 1875. He grew up on a family farm in Norwich, New York helping his father in the family saw mill, felling and hauling trees, cutting lumber, woodworking and working as a carpenter on local homes and buildings. As years passed and Sternberg continued working as a contractor and a carpenter, his skills in building grew and he became well-known throughout New York State for his elegant and innovative building designs, his integrity, work quality and prudent approach to costs. People far and wide knew of his reputation for quality and knew him as a fair man in his dealings with customers. Partly as a result of his reputation for being a fair and honest man, he was elected Mayor of Norwich for a period of several years. Although comfortable with his life in New York, Mr. Sternberg increasingly heard about Wichita, Kansas ~ a rapidly growing nucleus on the plains. Indeed the growth bubble (from the late 1870’s until about 1890) was so significant that Wichita was by some estimates the fastest growing city in the country. At one point, the absolute value of real estate transactions in Wichita ranked it the third highest in the nation in terms of dollars transacted. This was behind only New York City and Kansas City! People were speculating on land and buildings and making handsome profits in return.
“In the first five months of 1887 real estate transactions
totaled $34,893,565 according to Dunn and Bradstreet’s
reports. Wichita was third in the nation in total real estate
transactions. Only New York and Kansas City were ahead
of Wichita (in terms of volume). Chicago was fourth having
$33,173,950 in transactions.”
However... in terms of the dollar value PER CAPITA (dollars per person), Wichita was first in the nation for a period of several years in the mid-late 1880s. New York and Kansas City had much larger populations than Wichita to produce a higher absolute volume of real estate transactions. But their dollar volumes per capita were in fact lower than Wichita, KS. With its new found wealth, Wichita was progressive in its early days and news of its budding wealth traveled the country. Evidence of its progressive spirit was noted with much fanfare on May 23, 1873 when Wichita’s first regularly-scheduled electrified street cars (trolley cars) began shuttling people between the bustling downtown and the outskirts of the city. Three years later, Wichita installed several hundred nighttime electric street lamps throughout downtown, while still retaining some of its existing gas and “vapor” lamps. And in the Spring of 1883, Wichita's new underground water system with 60 fire hydrants spread throughout the City was tested, on-line and ready-to-go. One of the things Wichita did with this wealth is invest in public systems and buildings to the tune of over ten million dollars per year in some years in the 1880s. This was W.H. Sternberg's hey-day. Impressive buildings were going up... literally as fast as they could possibly build. Between July 1, 1886 and June 30, 1887 almost 3,000 new completed structures were erected in Wichita and all of this with a population of only about 12,000.
Spying an opportunity for building, Mr. Sternberg moved his family to Wichita in 1875 and after only a few months, was successfully bidding contracts, hiring workers and constructing buildings at a frenzied pace. The economic bubble of Wichita in the 1880s was perhaps the most dynamic growth spurt of any city in American history. Wealth sprung up practically overnight and people such as: C.N. Lewis, Albert. W. Oliver (Businessman), Aaron Katz (Merchant), Mark J. Oliver (Atty), Hiram Imboden (Businessman), M.W. Levy (Bank President), Peter Getto (Capitalist), Reuben H. Roys (Atty), Finlay Ross (Mayor & Businessman), William H. Whitman, Jacob Henry Aley (Businessman), Robert E. Gutherie, J.R. Van Zandt (prominent businessman), George Pratt (lumber baron), Charles W. Bitting (prominent Businessman), Alfred W. Bitting (Prominent Businessman), Judge James L. Dyer (Judge), Charles M Jones, Dr. G.E. McAdams (physician), Capt. Charles Smyth, Dr. J. Russell (physician), Kos Harris (Atty), William Greiffenstein (Mayor), Russell Harding (Railroad Superintendent), Ben Aldrich (Mayor & prominent businessman) and many others... displayed their newly found wealth by building palatial mansions of the highest quality and most extraordinary craftsmanship. When Wichita’s well-to-do wanted homes or buildings, W.H. Sternberg was the builder of choice by a wide margin. The 1888 book, Portrait and Biographical Album of Sedgwick County, Kansas (Chapman Brothers; Chicago, 1888) in which Sternberg is noted states about him,
“Ninety brick stores in Wichita stand as monuments of
his skill and industry, besides numberless other
buildings, probably twice as many as have been put
up by any other contractor in the city.”
Not long after coming to Wichita, Mr. Sternberg used a marketing approach – common today, but relatively unheard of at the time, called a “spec home”. The spec home he built was his own home and it was a huge 7,500 sq. ft. showcase home that contained virtually every ornamental and stylish feature that he and his crews could muster. He located his home on the most elite street in Wichita at the time ~ Waco Avenue ("Waco Street" as it was then and "Waco Avenue" as it was to become). Before Waco became the “elite street” of Wichita, city planners named it “Waco Street”. As elegant mansions continued to appear on Waco, property owners in this well-dressed district became dissatisfied with the designation of “Street” and so local residents petitioned the City to officially have the name changed to “Avenue” to be more in keeping with the fashionable tone of the neighborhood. Today, the official name of Waco is still "Waco Avenue". Mr. Sternberg reckoned that showcasing the capabilities and ornate building skills of the construction trade would draw customers to him, and it proved to be a very successful technique. Even back in 1886 when he completed his Victorian gingerbread mansion people acknowledged it was something extraordinary. His worthy showcase mansion was written up in the newspapers as well as the 1888 Portrait and Biographical Album of Sedgwick, County, Kansas as follows,
“The residence of Mr. Sternberg, a handsome and costly structure,
is beautifully located on a rise of ground commanding a fine view
of its surroundings. Within and without it bears the evidence of
refined tastes and ample means, and it is universally admired
by all who have occasion to pass it.”
Even before the Sternberg’s mansion was finished, people were remarking about it as the September 6, 1886 edition of the Wichita Beacon commented,
“Mr. Sternberg is building for his own use a fine residence
on the corner of 10th and Waco Streets. Judging by the
foundation it will be one of the largest and finest in the city.”
Within weeks after finishing his home at 1065 North Waco Avenue, Mr. Sternberg was flooded with requests to build other fine mansions for Wichita’s “polite society”. And in 1887 and 1888, Sternberg and his crews built first-class mansions and buildings all over Wichita as quickly as they could. Sternberg was one of the largest employers in Wichita with a skilled crew of approximately 40 full-time persons working at various locations.
Sternberg set precedence in building design at a time when style and social status was everything and people had the money (and the willingness) to express it. Sternberg (unlike other builders of the day) built custom features into his homes that allowed the occupants to enjoy their home more. In addition to an extensive use of smaller more intimate porches in his homes and particularly romantic highly corbelled chimney flues, Sternberg was also the first builder in Wichita to construct a very practical laundry chute into a home (the first home in Wichita to have a laundry chute was the Pratt house at 1313 North Emporia). The idea of such a feature so that people didn’t have to climb up and down stairs was new and unheard of in 1887, but Sternberg believed a home should be both beautiful and comfortable. It was new and trend-setting features such laundry chutes, ornate porches and his ability to create exceptional milled gingerbread work that brought acclaim and respect to Sternberg. Other builders simply didn’t offer such features, and most didn’t have the expertise to do so. In New York state where Sternberg grew up and worked for many years before coming to Wichita, he is credited with being the first person to build a Mansard-style roof. The concept was made popular at the 1850’s World's Fair in Paris . A mansard roof is a French style that allows more unencumbered space on the attic level than a traditional pitched roof does. Although not an architect by training, Sternberg often had considerable input into the design and layout of the homes he built. Many of his customers, unaware of the need for an architect at the time when deciding to building a house, would contact Sternberg first when they wanted to build and then it was Sternberg who would usually contact an architect of his choice and advise the architect on what the home-owner wanted and could afford. Sternberg was the first recorded builder to use an “outside” (New York) architect purely for style and design in upscale an upscale Wichita residence. That residence designed by both Stanford White and William Sternberg and built by Sternberg was the Charles R. Miller residence at 509 S. Lawrence Rd (now Broadway). Miller affectionately chistened the home, "Lyndhurst". Stanford White although building a national reputation would a few years later would receive national acclaim for his designs including Madison Square Garden in New York and homes for the ultra wealthy in Newport RI and New York. The design and construction of this Sternberg-built home that Stanford White-designed was eye-catching and charming to Wichitans of the day and the local Wichita Beacon in April 18, 1883 commented about the house,
“It will be of brick, 40 x 44 feet in area, with basement
eight feet, two stories above that, and a ten foot mansard
attic. The basement will be used for a steam heater,
laundry, coal, etc. The facades will be broken by swells,
bay windows and porches. It will be one of the finest
in southern Kansas.”
Obviously, Sternberg felt that for some exceptional projects, local architects were not up to the task, and Sternberg liked the press attention. What's more and another “first” for Sternberg is that he was the only builder during the 1870s-1880s working in Wichita to have also built major public and private buildings in at least two other states. In addition, he’s the only builder during Wichita’s boom period to have his works from three states (Kansas Missouri and New York) listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally his 30 years of experience in the lumber business grading qualities of woods and knowing the particular characteristics of various woods allowed Sternberg to build with exceptional quality. Arguably he was the highest quality builder and most highly skilled builder of the day in Wichita. An article from November 2, 1969 in the Eagle-Beacon newspaper noted the quality of the Sternberg Mansion,
“It was built to last with joists
of 2 by 8-inch timbers, and wood-
work of pine so hard it will not take
a regular nail and one interior
wall that is 15 inches thick.”
In all W. H. Sternberg built well over 100 buildings and homes in Wichita alone after coming in 1875. Other homes and buildings he is known to have built before coming to Wichita include: (1) the Methodist Church in Guilford, New York, (2) the Chenango County Poor House in Norwich, New York, (3) the Methodist Episcopal Church in Norwich, New York at a cost of $47,000, he later completed the beautiful case inside this church for the church organ, (4) the residence of Charles Merritt in Norwich, New York at a cost of $35,000, (5) the store of John O. Hill & Co. at a cost of $23,000, (6) the residence of Warren Newton in New York and (7) “an elegant mansion for himself” which had the first mansard roof in the town.
Mr. Sternberg was a remarkable man. In 1888, Chapman Brothers in Chicago, Illinois printed an expensive first-class volume of notable persons in Sedgwick County, Kansas ~ a sort of “Who’s Who” of the time. The book, entitled “Portrait and Biographical Album of Sedgwick County, Kan.” Contained “Full Page Portraits and Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens of the County together with Portraits and biographies of all the governors of Kansas, and of the Presidents of the United States.” Mr. Sternberg is listed on pages 190 – 191 in the Album. His biography notes:
“William H. Sternberg, who is one of the prominent citizens
of Wichita, arrived here in time to assist in the building up of
the town, the growth of which has been phenomenal. He has
been one of the most interested witnesses of its progress
and development, and no unimportant factor in bringing it to
its present proud position. As a man of influence, public
spirit and liberal, this brief record of his history will be more
than ordinarily interesting to those who are identified in any
way with the business or industrial interests of one of the
leading cities of the West.”
In addition the biography noted that,
“Ninety brick stores in Wichita stand as monuments of
his skill and industry, besides numberless other
buildings, probably twice as many as have been
put up by any other contractor in the city.”
And as always, whatever the job, W. H. Sternberg was noted for work of the finest quality and expertise. Mr. Sternberg had a reputation for only hiring the best workers which sometimes was hard to do as the building boom created quite a shortage of workers, never-the-less, he was known for the fact that he and “his workmen should be persons of the highest skill and reliability.” In 1888, just two years after Sternberg personally built and constructed his own “showcase” mansion for himself, it was written up in the Portrait and Biographical Album as though it was undeniably a special residence in Wichita . . . .
“The residence of Mr. Sternberg, a handsome and costly
structure is beautifully located on a rise of ground
commanding a fine view of its surroundings. Within and
without it bears the evidence of refined tastes and ample
means, and is universally admired by all who have
occasion to pass it.”
Today, historical authorities who know the Sternberg Mansion lay accolades on it for its style, its authentic representation of Victorian influence, its extreme ornamentation and its first-rate quality throughout. It has appeared in numerous books, magazines and approximately 30 different newspaper articles over the past 125 years. The following is an excerpt from the City of Wichita’s Historic Landmark website (www.wichitagov.org/Residents/History/Listing51-60) about the Sternberg Mansion:
“William H. Sternberg, a prominent builder during Wichita's
economic boom days of the 1880's built his own resi-
dence in 1886, incorporating the Victorian penchant
for "gingerbread" millwork with this extravagantly gabled
Queen Anne-styled home. This house is one of a few
remaining homes of this elaborate style in the city and
is regarded as a quintessential product of the late
Queen Anne residential design and stylistic features.
From its native stone foundation to the four corbelled
brick chimneys with their decorative flues, the house
served as a showcase for the builder's trade including
colored glass window panes, stained glass windows in
the ornate stairway, several fireplaces and combination
gas/electric chandeliers. The two and one-half story
residence also has porches projecting from each of
the three main elevations.”
A quote in the Wichita Eagle-Beacon from Wichita’s Historic Preservation Officer, Marian Cone on April 10, 1977 stated about the mansion,
“The Sternberg Mansion…is unusual in that its
eclectic style incorporates all the elements Stern-
berg could fabricate…Sternberg used his own
home as a sort of ‘model home,’ a tangible ex-
ample of his expertise for prospective customers…
it is the only remaining Queen Anne-style man-
sion of its size in the city and it is a magnificent
example of architecture…The use of exterior
wood in patterns is most unusual as are the var-
iations of the use of colored and plain glass.
The leaded and stained glass windows on the
landing of the very ornate staircase are most
unusual in that they are of a geometric pattern
not common until the 1920s.”
Yet another article about the Sternberg Mansion in the Eagle-Beacon in November 16, 1976 states,
“The house, built in 1886 by William H. Stern-
berg, one of Wichita’s foremost builders during
the city’s early boom days, is the only remaining
Queen Anne style mansion of this size in the city.
It is seen as a magnificent example of Victorian
architecture, with most of the original detailing
and gingerbread on the exterior, a large walnut
staircase, wood paneling, and four fireplaces.”
And Mr. Sternberg located his first-rate mansion in Wichita’s finest district at the time (on Waco Avenue). Yet another article appearing in the Wichita Evening Eagle on August 3, 1933 comments,
“in the early ‘70s (1870s)…Waco avenue was
‘the elite’ street. Waco avenue in the very early
day was considered to be the best residential street
and many believed that when the city grew large it
would be the choice residence district of the city.”
Indeed, W. H. Sternberg was an extraordinary person in Wichita at a time when the rest of the country was curiously taking note of this fast-growing prairie town. His work as a contractor, his involvement in civic groups, his reputation for doing the highest quality work possible, his reputation for being hard-working and fair to all, his diligence to hire only the most highly skilled workers, his generosity to lesser causes and his pioneering ideas in building style and function bestowed to the people of Wichita and beyond an authentic Victorian legacy to be enjoyed by all for generations to come.

After liquidating the Warsaw ghetto in 1943 the Germans retained a few thousand Jewish slave labourers, most of whom were imprisoned in the "Gęsiowka" concentration camp. On 27th July 1944 the Germans decided to evacuate the Gęsiówka camp to Dachau. More than 400 inmates, incapable of marching, were shot and only 350 were left behind.
The camp was liberated by Polish resistance fighters belonging to the Zośka battalion of the Armia Krajowa on 5th August 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising, freeing the remaining 350 Jewish prisoners (mainly foreigners from Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Hungary, Belgium and Germany).
This marker at the intersection of Chłodna Street and Żelazna Street commemorates the site of the wooden footbridge over Chłodna Street which was built in January 1942 to re-connect the two parts of the Warsaw ghetto which were disconnected when this street was excluded from the ghetto in December 1941.
When Warsaw's German occupiers created the "Jewish Residential District" at the end of 1940, it initially included a narrow strip of land between Wronia and Żelazna streets which linked the "large ghetto" in the north to the "small" ghetto in the south. However, this meant that a short section of Chłodna Street (which was an important east-west transport corridor) became enclosed within the ghetto, which caused considerable traffic disruption in Warsaw over the next few months.
As a result, the Germans eventually decided to exclude Chłodna Street from the ghetto, thus dividing it in two. But doing so prevented the free movement of the Jews from one part of the ghetto to the other, which meant that it was still necessary to periodically stop the traffic on Chłodna Street to allow the inhabitants of the ghetto to cross.
This prompted the Germans to create the footbridge, which kept the traffic flowing and re-enabled free movement for the Jews, as well as allowing them a brief glimpse of the city outside the ghetto to which they no longer had access....

Le projet du sculpteur palermitain Mario Rutelli, achevé et inauguré en 1901, se composait de quatre figures féminines nues en bronze représentant des scènes de nymphes : la Nymphe des Lacs, reconnaissable au cygne qu'elle tient contre elle, la Nymphe des Fleuves, couchée sur un monstre aquatique, la Nymphe des Eaux souterraines, allongée sur un dragon, et la Nymphe des Océans3, en selle sur un cheval, symbole de la mer. Un grand jet d'eau tombe sur les statues, tandis qu'une nombreuse série de petits jets d'eau est dirigée vers l'intérieur.
En 1912, enfin, la fontaine a pris son aspect actuel, avec l'arrangement, dans le centre du groupe du Glauco, où un personnage masculin, nu, saisit un dauphin, symbolisant la domination de l'homme sur les forces naturelles.
The project by Palermo sculptor Mario Rutelli, completed and inaugurated in 1901, consisted of four nude female figures in bronze depicting scenes of nymphs: the Nymph of the Lakes, recognisable by the swan she holds against her, the Nymph of the Rivers, reclining on a water monster, the Nymph of the Subterranean Waters, reclining on a dragon, and the Nymph of the Oceans3, riding a horse, the symbol of the sea. A large jet of water falls on the statues, while a series of smaller jets of water are directed inwards.
Finally, in 1912, the fountain took on its current appearance, with the arrangement in the centre of the Glauco group of a nude male figure holding a dolphin, symbolising man's domination over natural forces.

Il Lago di Vico è un lago di origine vulcanica dell'Italia centrale situato nella provincia di Viterbo. Esso vanta il primato di altitudine tra i grandi laghi italiani con i suoi 507 m s.l.m. Per le sue peculiari caratteristiche naturali il comprensorio Vicano è incluso tra le aree di particolare valore naturalistico del Lazio e tra i biotopi di rilevante interesse naturalistico in Italia. È circondato dal complesso montuoso dei monti Cimini, in particolare è cinto dal Monte Fogliano (965 m) e dal Monte Venere (851 m), è parte della Riserva naturale Lago di Vico.
Secondo la leggenda ebbe origine dalla clava che Ercole infisse nel terreno per sfidare gli abitanti del luogo; nessuno riuscì a rimuoverla. Quando lo fece Ercole, sgorgò un enorme getto d'acqua che andò a riempire la valle formando così il lago.
Il lago di Vico è in realtà il risultato della attività vulcanica ed è quello che meglio ha conservato la caratteristica forma che ne testimonia l'origine. Il lago ha avuto origine circa 100.000 anni fa in seguito al riempimento della caldera vulcanica.
Lake Vico (Italian Lago di Vico) is a volcanic lake in the northern Lazio region, central Italy. It is one of the highest major Italian lakes, with an altitude of 510 m. Administratively, it is part of the municipalities of Caprarola and Ronciglione.
The lake is surrounded by the Cimini Hills, in particular by the Fogliano (965 m) and Venere (851 m) mountains. It is part of the Lake Vico Natural Reserve.
According to legend, the lake was created by Hercules, who defied the local inhabitants to wield his club. When he did this, a stream sprung up and formed the lake. The lake is in fact a result of the past volcanic activity of Lazio, originating some 100,000 years ago when an extinguished crater was flooded. Before the construction of a tunnel by the Etruscans, the lake was probably deeper than today, the Monte Venere constituting an island within it.
The lake is drained by the River Vicano.
The area is famous for its extensive beech forest, which is one of the most southerly in Europe. The elevation, plus the surrounding sides of the crater, create cool enough conditions for the continued survival of the trees. A large part of the northern side of the crater is a nature reserve to protect this forest.

LDN 1251 - CHEPEUS CONSTELLATION
LDN 1251, è una nube molecolare facente parte della vasta nube molecolare del Cefeo. Distante circa 1000 anni luce dal sistema solare, le sue nubi raggiungono temperature prossime allo zero assoluto, rendendolo uno degli oggetti più freddi del cosmo.
LDN 1251 è una nube allungata in senso est-ovest sul bordo orientale del complesso; la sua forma a cometa suggerisce che sia in interazione con la grande superbolla causata dall'esplosione di supernova. La sua distanza da noi è stata determinata in vari modi e la nube è stata mappata a diverse linee di emissione, come il 13CO, il SiO, l'NH3, l'HCN ed altri ancora. Studiando la popolazione di oggetti stellari giovani, alcuni autori hanno rinvenuto una dozzina di stelle Hα e una sorgente di radiazione infrarossa, dalla quale emerge un getto ottico, classificato come HH 149. Sono presenti anche due sorgenti di onde radio termali.

LDN 1251, is a molecular cloud that is part of the vast molecular cloud of Cepheus. About 1000 light-years away from the solar system, its clouds reach temperatures close to absolute zero, making it one of the coldest objects in the cosmos.
LDN 1251 is an east-west elongated cloud on the eastern edge of the complex; its comet shape suggests that it is interacting with the large superbubble caused by the supernova explosion. Its distance from us has been determined in various ways and the cloud has been mapped to different emission lines, such as 13CO, SiO, NH3, HCN and more. By studying the population of young stellar objects, some authors found a dozen Hα stars and a source of infrared radiation, from which emerges an optical jet, classified as HH 149. There are also two sources of thermal radio waves.

Exhibition Kraków under Nazi Occupation 1939–1945 is located in the former administrative building of Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory at 4 Lipowa Street.
The exhibition is primarily a story about Kraków and its inhabitants, both Polish and Jewish, during World War Two. It is also a story about Nazi Germans – the occupiers who arrived here on 6 September 1939, brutally disrupting Kraków’s centuries-long history of Polish-Jewish relations. The great history of World War Two intersects here with everyday life, and the personal dramas of individual people overlap with the tragedy which affected the whole world.
The wartime history of Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik – DEF – and its owner Oskar Schindler was brought into the limelight in 1993 by Steven Spielberg’s film Schindler’s List. Ever since that time, tourists from all over the world have been coming to Lipowa Street to visit the place where Schindler saved the lives of over a thousand people. The character of Oskar Schindler and the life stories of the Kraków Jews he saved are presented in the exhibition as part of the city’s complex wartime history. Oskar Schindler’s heroic attitude is presented in close-up in his former office – luckily, the historic room located in the factory’s administrative building has been preserved intact throughout the years. The dominant feature here is the symbolic “Survivors’ Ark” made of thousands of enamelled pots, similar to those manufactured by Schindler’s employees during the war.
Ah a cidade, a cidade maravilhosa. Uma cidade quente, e ao mesmo tempo de corações frios, onde muitas vezes o medo é o governante.
Estava esses dias pensando, pensando em como o Rio de Janeiro está violento. Estamos em um novo ano e muita coisa aconteceu no fim do ano passado. Ataques terroristas acontecendo em plena rua, uma verdadeira guerra civil. Nunca iríamos imaginar que nossas belas paisagens fossem substituídas pelo medo e terror.
Essa foto é meu protesto, contra a onda de crimes em que estamos vivendo nessa cidade maravilhosa.

Soko G-2 Galeb
Il Soko G-2 Galeb è un monomotore a getto da addestramento basico ad ala dritta prodotto dall'allora azienda iugoslava SOKO dagli anni sessanta agli anni ottanta.
Primo velivolo a getto di progettazione nazionale ad entrare in produzione in serie, il Galeb venne utilizzato principalmente nelle scuole di volo militari e dall'aeronautica militare della ex Jugoslavia.
Nel 1957 la SOKO iniziò a sviluppare, su propria iniziativa, un progetto per un velivolo biposto da addestramento equipaggiato con un motore a getto, dotato di armamento e con capacità acrobatiche, da proporre alla forza aerea iugoslava per sostituire lo statunitense Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star che fino ad allora era in dotazione alle scuole di volo militari. Il velivolo, equipaggiato con un motore a getto e realizzato interamente in metallo, rispecchiava un'impostazione classica, già adottata dall'italiano Aermacchi MB-326 e dal cecoslovacco Aero L-29 Delfin, con l'ala montata bassa ed una cabina di pilotaggio a due posti in tandem.

Soko G-2 Galeb
The Soko G-2 Galeb is a single-engine straight-wing basic training jet aircraft produced by the then Yugoslav company SOKO from the 1960s to the 1980s.
The first domestically designed jet aircraft to go into serial production, the Galeb was mainly used in military flying schools and by the Air Force of the former Yugoslavia.
In 1957, SOKO began to develop, on its own initiative, a project for a two-seat jet-powered trainer aircraft, equipped with armament and with aerobatic capabilities, to be proposed to the Yugoslav Air Force to replace the US Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star which until then was supplied to military flight schools. The aircraft, equipped with a jet engine and made entirely of metal, reflected a classic layout, already adopted by the Italian Aermacchi MB-326 and the Czechoslovakian Aero L-29 Delfin, with a low mounted wing and a cockpit two-seater in tandem.

Soko G-2 Galeb
Le Soko G-2 Galeb est un avion à réaction d'entraînement de base monomoteur à aile droite produit par la société yougoslave d'alors SOKO des années 1960 aux années 1980.
Premier avion à réaction de conception nationale à être produit en série, le Galeb était principalement utilisé dans les écoles de pilotage militaires et par l'armée de l'air de l'ex-Yougoslavie.
En 1957, SOKO commence à développer, de sa propre initiative, un projet d'avion d'entraînement biplace à réaction, doté d'armement et de capacités de voltige, à proposer à l'armée de l'air yougoslave en remplacement du Lockheed T-33 américain. Shooting Star qui jusqu'alors était fourni aux écoles de pilotage militaires. L'avion, équipé d'un moteur à réaction et entièrement réalisé en métal, reflétait une disposition classique, déjà adoptée par l'italien Aermacchi MB-326 et le tchécoslovaque Aero L-29 Delfin, avec une aile montée basse et un cockpit biplace en tandem .

This is the location of one of the main ghetto entrances, which was situated opposite the building of the "Collegium" Society at 84 Leszno Street.
This building was eventually destroyed by the Germans, but during the existence of the "Jewish quarter" it housed the Labour & Statistics Departments of the Judenrat (Jewish Council). As it was on the "Aryan" side of the ghetto wall, a wooden footbridge was built over Żelazna Street in September 1941 to allow Jews to enter the building directly at second floor level.

Handsome Antonio Cifariello (1930–1968) was an Italian actor and documentary filmmaker. In his short but intense career he starred in several Italian comedies as a young and seductive Don Giovanni. He worked with several famous directors, including Federico Fellini, Dino Risi, Luigi Comencini and Valerio Zurlini. Cifariello also appeared in a few international films.
Antonio Cifariello was born in Naples, Italy, in 1930. He was the grandson of the sculptor Filippo Cifariello, notorious for killing his wife out of jealousy in 1905. Antonio was discovered for the screen while rowing at the Canottieri Savoia club in the seaside village of Saint Lucia in 1950. He auditioned and got the lead part, credited as Fabio Montale, in La sposa che vestiva di bianco/The bride wore white (Mario Baffico, 1950-1957). The film had several production issues and was only released as Amanti senza peccato in 1957. In the meanwhile Cifariello had enrolled at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, graduating in 1953. Cifariello also appeared in several Fotoromanzi using another stage name, Mauro Vellani. His official film debut was in Italian historical drama Eran trecento... (La spigolatrice di Sapri) /They were 300 (Gian Paolo Callegari, 1953), starring Rossano Brazzi. Federico Fellini then chose him to play a journalist in Un Agenzia matrimoniale/Marriage Agency, one of six segments of an anthology about love, L’amore in città/Love in the City (Michelangelo Antonioni, Carlo Lizzani, Federico Fellini a.o., 1953). Fellini’s segment is a delight. Bethany Cox at IMDb: “The beautiful visuals, deliberate pacing, nostalgic yet mystical storytelling and colourful music are all there, and Fellini's poetic and quite ambitious style is as distinctive as you would expect.” In a short time Cifariello then established himself as one of the most requested young actors in the Italian cinema. He starred in the debut of director Valerio Zurlini, Le ragazze di San Frediano/the Girls of San Frediano (1954) as a Florentine mechanic, who romances several women simultaneously and secretly, but they conceive a plot to punish him. He appeared opposite Sophia Loren and Vittorio De Sica in the comedy Pane, amore e.../Scandal in Sorrento (Dino Risi, 1955), the third film of the trilogy, formed by Pane, amore e fantasia/Bread, Love and Dreams (Luigi Comencini, 1953) and Pane, amore e gelosia/Bread, Love and Jealousy (Luigi Comencini, 1954). Next he starred with Silvana Pampanini and Alberto Sordi in the comedy La bella di Roma/The Belle of Rome (Luigi Comencini, 1955). He appeared with Anna Magnani in the comedy drama Suor Letizia/ The Awakening (Mario Camerini, 1956). He had a supporting part in the comedy Giovani mariti/Young Husbands (Mauro Bolognini, 1958), featuring Gérard Blain. In the Italian-West German crime-drama-comedy Le bellissme gambe di Sabrina/The Beautiful Legs of Sabrina (Camillo Mastrocinque, 1958), he co-starred with Mamie Van Doren. It was Van Doren's first film made away from Hollywood. The film was a flop and is now largely forgotten.
Antonio Cifariello became tired of playing stereotypical characters of seducers or boyfriends in comedies. In the 1960s, he appeared in such adventure films as I masnadieri/Rome 1585 (Mario Bonnard, 1961) with Daniela Rocca and Debra Paget, and the Walt Disney Productions feature film In Search of the Castaways (Robert Stevenson, 1962), starring Hayley Mills and Maurice Chevalier. Cifariello played an Indian Chief in this tale about a worldwide search for a shipwrecked sea captain, based on Jules Verne's novel Captain Grant's Children. Craig Butler at AllMovie: “Castaways has a lovely cast, with Hayley Mills in fine form, whether falling in love or falling down a slope. If Maurice Chevalier and Wilfrid Hyde-White go over the top, they still have charm, and George Sanders's understatement counteracts them nicely. In smaller roles, Antonio Cifariello and Wilfrid Brambell make strong impressions as a stolid Indian and a not-so-crazy lunatic. Advances in screen technology may have reduced Castaways' impact, but most children will still find it entertaining -- as will those parents willing to meet it halfway.” In Search of the Castaways was worldwide a box office hit and was the 3rd highest grossing film of 1962 in the US. Cifariello also appeared in another American production, Jessica (Jean Negulesco, Oreste Palella, 1962), starring Maurice Chevalier and Angie Dickinson. He also appeared in the historical musical La bella Lola/The Lovely Lola (Alfonso Balcázar, 1962) starring Sara Montiel. The film, a co-production between France, Italy and Spain, was based on the 1848 novel The Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas. Cifariello gradually moved his career towards journalism and television documentaries. His last feature film was the Polish film Giuseppe w Warszawie/Giuseppe in Warsaw (Stanislaw Lenartowicz, 1964) with Zbigniew Cybulski. Cifariello played an Italian deserter in Nazi-occupied Poland in 1943, who moved between the Germans and the Polish resistance. In 1968 Antonio Cifariello suddenly died. He was on a trip in Zambia, making a documentary for RAI television, when his plane crashed. He was only 38. Between 1954 and 1960, he had been married to actress Patrizia Della Rovere. They had one son, composer Fabio Cifariello Ciardi. At the time of his death, Antonio Cifariello was the partner of actress Annie Gorassini.
