The $260 million cancer treatment and research building on Missenden Road at Camperdown is named in honour of the late Professor Chris O’Brien, a leading surgeon who succumbed to a brain tumour in 2009. Professor O’Brien’s widow, Gail, and their children were guests at the ceremony.
“The agreement for the transfer and operation of cancer services from Royal Prince Alfred Hospital to the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is unique - the first agreement of its kind in Australia,” Mrs Skinner said.
“The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is a not-for-profit benevolent institution that will treat public and private patients. The NSW Government will purchase cancer services for public patients from Lifehouse for an initial estimated cost of around $16.7 million each year.
“This unique collaboration will deliver cancer services to public and private patients for decades to come.”
The Federal Government provided capital funding of $161 million to construct Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, with a further $19 million to enable the completion of the inpatient facility.
The NSW Government has leased the land to the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse for 40 years at no cost, as well as leasing extra radiation oncology space. It will provide $6 million to support Lifehouse until it becomes fully operational.
The nine-storey, state-of-the-art building includes 96 inpatient beds, eight operating suites and procedure rooms and 18 intensive care and high dependency beds.

An FM radio multiplex adapter. These decoded the stereo information from an FM signal and provided a stereo output. This unit was in a console, others were in a housing and used in-sight. They were popular in the early 1960s when FM stations began broadcasting in stereo and FM stereo receivers and tuners were not yet common.

Modern Cinema. A Multiplex on a Trading Estate in Rochdale. The B&W is a homage to earlier days of Cinema.
The first ever multiplex of India, PVR Anupam’s box office window on its rear side meant for super cheap tickets, maximum one for a guy and two for a lady in separate queues on the right and left respectively. The window has closed down since many years now but the memories are still intact and so are those innumerable moments of wondrous joys that transported us to the world of fiction and fantasies helping us interact with ourselves and to know whom and what we relate to and what we stand for in those wondrous moments.
I have not been able to build much lately, because I moved from Australia to the US. On the plus side, this means I finally have an oppurtunity to attend a lego Convention - Brickfair 2012!
I knew instantly that I would build a GBC module. I have always been interested in the Great Ball contraption, and I am very happy to be able to be a part of it!
In regards to the model: Its main features are a unique color sorter, and a ball array which spells out a message. Be sure to watch the video to see how it works.
See you at Brickfair!

With over 900 cinema seats, seven movie screens and 13 food outlets, central Christchurch's $50 million new Hoyts EntX multiplex.
The three-level complex has been under construction for a year and a half between Colombo, Lichfield and Tuam Sts, opened on September 28, 2019.
EntX will replace the eight-screen Moorhouse Ave facility which cinema chain Hoyts lost in the earthquakes. It will be the company's third multiplex in Christchurch and 11th in New Zealand, and the second in the country with large "xtremescreens", recliner seats and in-cinema dining.

The Astra Multiplex Cinema is located on the Venice Lido, a few meters from the Santa Maria Elisabetta landing stage and the Gran Viale of the same name, along via Corfù.
The new Multiplex Astra, inaugurated on December 13, 2002, has two screens for the programming of art-house premieres, cinema for children, reviews and special events such as book presentations, projections of the Venice Film Festival, Venice Film Meeting.
It has a capacity of 225 seats in Room 1, located on the upper floor of the complex, and of 136 seats in Room 2, on the ground floor (for a total of 381 seats). A structure equipped with all the most modern comforts with latest generation sound and projection systems that guarantee the highest quality of listening and vision, velvet armchairs, air conditioning, lift for the disabled and an adjacent bar.
The Multiplex Astra is located a few steps from the Santa Maria Elisabetta jetties, allowing the Venetians of the historic center to make the most of the service offered.
The program foresees a collaboration with the Giorgione Movie of arthouse in the historical center.
The multiplex is a member of the FICE (Italian Federation of Arthouse Cinema) and Agis-Fac.
W Sydney is on track for a 2023 opening after Australian property developer Greaton appointed Multiplex to complete The Ribbon development in Darling Harbour.
Construction of The Ribbon, which includes the 585-room luxury W Sydney hotel, IMAX theatre and retail, came to a grinding halt earlier this year when the previous builder, Probuild, went into administration.
Marriott International Area Vice President for Australia, New Zealand and Pacific, Sean Hunt, told HM that the company is very pleased with the decision.
“Marriott International is very pleased with the appointment of premier construction company Multiplex to lead the finalisation of The Ribbon Development and W Sydney,” Hunt said.
“The appointment will see the W Sydney on track to open in 2023.”
Multiplex will soon commence the remaining works on the site, which mostly centres around internal fit-out, and public domain works at the Darling Harbour precinct.
“The Ribbon is one of the most complex new major developments currently underway in Sydney and occupies public land right on the harbour foreshore,” said Greaton Project Director, Michael Calvi.
“Appointing a new builder has involved extensive consultation with various stakeholders.”
Calvi said Multiplex was “the clear frontrunner” for the project.
“Multiplex built the original IMAX theatre some 25 years ago, and so it’s with great pride that we are supporting Greaton to bring this re-imagined project to fruition,” said Multiplex Regional Managing Director, David Ghannoum.
“We look forward to getting started and delivering for Sydney-siders.”

Once a bustling 19th-century railway warehouse, this long neoclassical building on the Right Bank of Bordeaux has found a new life as the Mégarama Bordeaux Bastide – a state-of-the-art multiplex cinema boasting one of the city’s only IMAX screens. The stone arcade, with its tall arched windows and carved balustrades, retains echoes of its industrial past, while the modern roofline and sleek signage boldly signal its current role as a temple of popcorn-fuelled escapism.
Part of a broader urban regeneration of the Bastide district, Mégarama stands just across the Garonne from the historic city centre, offering panoramic views of the Place de la Bourse and a lively post-screening café scene. Whether you’re after Oscar contenders, French indies, or full-throttle blockbusters, this cinematic grand dame delivers—in widescreen.
🇫🇷 Autrefois entrepôt ferroviaire au XIXe siècle, ce bâtiment longiligne de la rive droite bordelaise a été superbement reconverti en Mégarama Bordeaux Bastide – un multiplexe dernier cri, doté notamment d’une salle IMAX, rare dans la région. Son architecture néoclassique, avec ses grandes arcades et balustrades sculptées, évoque encore l’activité industrielle d’antan, tandis que sa toiture contemporaine annonce clairement sa vocation actuelle : celle d’un temple du grand écran.
Intégré dans le renouveau urbain du quartier de la Bastide, le Mégarama profite d’une vue imprenable sur la Garonne et la place de la Bourse. Après le film, place aux terrasses ensoleillées ! Un lieu idéal pour savourer blockbusters, pépites du cinéma français ou thrillers en VO – en grand format.

The exterior of the building. This 16-screen Regal multiplex opened in 1999, ten years after the mall's original opening. It replaced an 8-screen cinema that opened in 1986 on Cochran Boulevard, and now houses a church and a post office.
-----
The Port Charlotte Town Center originally opened in August 1989, as the first (and currently only) major enclosed shopping mall in Charlotte County. Built and opened by the DeBartolo Corporation, the mall opened with Sears, JCPenney, and Belk-Lindsey as original anchors, with space available for three more. Maas Brothers was originally planned to open as a fourth anchor in 1990, but these plans later fell through, due to the financial troubles that parent company Federated was going through at the time.
Dillard's and Montgomery Ward were added as fourth and fifth anchors in 1992. Around the same time, Belk-Lindsey closed at the mall and was replaced by Burdines in 1994. A 16-screen Regal Cinemas multiplex was added on to the mall in 1999 as its final newly-built anchor, replacing an older 8-screen cinema at the corner of US-41 and Cochran Boulevard (now occupied by a post office and Edgewater Church). Montgomery Ward closed in 2000-01 with the bankruptcy of the chain, and was replaced by Bealls in 2002. Burdines was renamed to Burdines-Macy’s in 2003, before becoming Macy’s in 2005.
Junior anchors of the mall include Old Navy (opened in 1999) and DSW Shoe Warehouse.

Wheelus Air Base was a United States Air Force base located in British-occupied Libya and the Kingdom of Libya from 1943 to 1970. At one time it was the largest US military facility outside the US. It had an area of 20 sq miles on the coast of Tripoli. The base had a beach club, the largest military hospital outside the US, a multiplex cinema, a bowling alley and a high school for 500 students. The base had a radio and TV station, and a shopping mall and fast food outlets. At its height it had over 15,000 military personnel and their dependents. Wheelus Air Base was originally built by the Italian Royal Air Force in 1923 and was known as Mellaha Air Base. Today the facility is known as Mitiga International Airport.
World War II
The airfield was constructed in 1923 and used by the Italian Air Force. In 1933 the roads around the airfield and the neighbouring Mellaha Lake became the home for the Tripoli Grand Prix motor race.[1]
Mellaha was used by the German Luftwaffe during the North African Campaign. The Germans using it for short range reconnaissance units, and coastal and naval reconnaissance units. Special weather reconnaissance units also existed at Mehalla. The main Luftwaffe unit stationed at the base was the 2nd Staffel of the Aufklärungsgruppe (H) 14 or 2.(H)/14.
The squadron was equipped with 12 single-engined Henschel Hs 126, an aircraft with 2-man crews, which could cover approx 710 km, with a maximum speed of 360 km/h, as well as three Fieseler Fi 156 Storch liaison aircraft, and a Junkers Ju 52 for transport of men and materiel.
The airfield was captured by the British Eighth Army in January 1943.
The United States Army Air Forces began using Mellaha in January 1943. It was used by the 376th Bombardment Group (Heavy) of the 12th Air Force to launch Consolidated B-24 Liberators to bomb Italy and southern parts of Germany.
In addition, Mellaha Field was used by Air Transport Command. It functioned as a stopover en route to Benina Airport near Benghazi or to Tunis Airport, Tunisia on the North African Cairo-Dakar transport route for cargo, transiting aircraft and personnel.[2]
On 15 April 1945 Mellaha AAF was taken over by USAAF’s Air Training Command. It was renamed Wheelus Army Air Field (AAF) on 17 May 1945 in honor of USAAF Lieutenant Richard Wheelus who had died earlier that year in a plane crash in Iran.

Wheelus AAF was closed on 15 May 1947, then reopened as Wheelus Air Base (Wheelus AB) on 1 June 1948 and transferred to the USAF Military Air Transportation Service (MATS). Its host unit under MATS was the 1603rd Air Transport Wing.
With the crowning of Idris I in 1951, United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE)-based fighter-bomber units also began using Wheelus AB and its nearby El Uotia Gunnery Range for gunnery and bombing training. A further agreement between the United States and Libya, signed in 1954, granted the US the use of Wheelus and its gunnery range until December 1971.
With its 4,600 Americans, the US Ambassador to Libya once called it "a Little America...on the sparkling shores of the Mediterranean," although temperatures at the base frequently reached 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (43 to 50 degrees Celsius).
Military Air Transport Service use
MATS activated the 1603rd Air Transport Wing at Wheelus on 1 June 1948.[3] The wing flew Douglas C-47 Skytrain and C-54s to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Cyprus, and operated the base transport control center until 1952.
Headquarters, 7th Air Rescue Group, was assigned to Wheelus along with the 58th Air Rescue Squadron at about this time. They flew SA-16s and H-19s. The 56th Air Rescue Squadron, stationed at Sidi Slimane, Morocco, the 57th Air Rescue Squadron stationed at Lajes Field, Azores, and the 59th Air Rescue Squadron, stationed at Dhahran Air Base, Saudi Arabia, were also part of the group.[4]
The 58th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron operated out of Wheelus until 1970 when they were relocated to the 67th ARRSQ in the UK. The 58 ARRS flew three HH-3E Jolly Green Giant helicopters, and three HC-130 refueling tankers.
MATS aircraft and personnel from Wheelus participated in Operation Hajji Baba in 1952. Also in 1952 the MATS 580th Air Resupply and Communications Wing was reassigned to Wheelus from Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. The Wing (later Group) flew special operations in the Mediterranean, Middle East and Southwest Asia until being inactivated in 1956.
The MATS presence was withdrawn and relocated to Rhein-Main Air Base, West Germany in January 1953. MATS and later Military Airlift Command aircraft were frequent visitors at Wheelus and maintained a small detachment there until the base's closure in 1970.[3]
Strategic Air Command use
As the Cold War overtook post-Second World War international politics, on 16 November 1950 USAF's Strategic Air Command began deploying B-50s, B-36s, B-47s and support aircraft (KB-29, KB-50, and KC-97 tankers) from US air bases to Wheelus. The base became one of several SAC forward operating locations in North Africa, becoming a vital link in SAC war plans for use as a bomber, tanker refueling and reconnaissance-fighter base.
Wheelus hosted SAC bomber deployments in 45-day rotational deployments, using Wheelus as a staging area for planned strikes against the Soviet Union.
SAC's use of Wheelus continued until 1970, when as part of the USAF withdrawal from the base, its rotational deployments ended.
Wheelus AB was reassigned from MATS to United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) on 16 October 1951, under USAFE's 7272nd Air Base Wing. The 7272nd was later designated the 7272nd Fighter Training Wing and became the host unit at Wheelus AB until the base's closure on 11 June 1970.
The 431st Fighter-Interceptor Squadron was activated when the 107th Fighter Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard was ordered to active duty in June 1953. The squadron was reassigned from Selfridge Air Force Base and deployed to Wheelus, where it was equipped with 25 F-86Fs, two T-33s, and one Douglas C-47. The squadron insignia adorned each side of the center fuselage, over the wing. The tail markings consisted of a red-and-white comet design on the vertical tail. A white lightning flash decorated the red portion of the comet's tail.
In January 1955 the F-86D began to replace the F-86Fs, which were sent to smaller NATO air forces. The squadron's tail markings changed with the F-86Ds having two or three horizontal red chevrons starting at the base of the rudder, with the chevron point touching the vertical fin's leading edge and angling towards the upper trailing edge of the rudder. Inside the rearmost chevron was a solid blue triangle. In September 1958, the 431st FIS moved to Zaragoza Air Base, Spain, and was transferred from USAFE to SAC's 16th Air Force.
On 1 August 1956, the Headquarters of 17th Air Force moved to Wheelus Air Base, Libya, from Rabat, Morocco, where it remained until relocating to Ramstein Air Base, Germany, on 15 November 1959.
Annual Missile Launch Operation (AMLO)
The expanse of Libyan desert was used first by the 701st TMW, then later its successor, the 38th Tactical Missile Wing, United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), beginning in October 1954, with three separate live launch operations for all of the operational squadrons using the TM-61 Matador. Operations Suntan (October 1954), Sunburst (June 1955), and Sunflash (March 1956) became annual qualification firings for all Matador squadrons based in Europe. There were 36 Matador launches from Wheelus in 1957, while there were only 13 launches at Cape Canaveral and only 25 from Holloman AFB in Alamogordo, New Mexico during the same time.
The 1958 exercise from 6 October through 19 November, called "Operation Marblehead," took 19 C-130 Hercules and seven C-124 Globemasters just to move the 339 personnel and equipment of the 71st TMS from Bitburg to Wheelus and back. C-47 twin engined transports carried personnel back and forth as well. Not only did the 71st take 13 missiles and the required launchers and checkout vans, but also two complete MSQ units, plus personnel to back up the two Shanicle base units that were permanently installed at Wheelus. The exercise was followed by similar deployments from Hahn Air Base, and later Sembach Air Base, all units of the newly formed 38th TMW. The exercises were moved to Patrick AFB, FL, in 1959 for launches at Cape Canaveral.
The missile launch area was located 15 miles east of Tripoli, the remote southern section of the base, away from flight operations.
Detachment 1, 20th Fighter-Bomber Wing
The 20th Fighter Bomber Wing, based at RAF Wethersfield UK, established an operational detachment at Wheelus AB, in February 1958. This detachment managed the USAFE Weapons Training Center for month-long squadron rotations by the Europe-based USAFE tactical fighter wings.
USAFE units from Germany, such as the 36th and 49th TFWs with their F-84 "Thunderjets" and the 50th TFW with F-100 Super Sabres practiced weapons delivery and use at Wheelus. In addition, the United Kingdom based 20th and 48th TFWs with F-100Ds, and the 81st TFW trained in air-to-air and air-to-ground gunnery and delivery of conventional ordnance and nuclear "shapes" at the weapons range about 10 nautical miles (19 km) further east of the air base.
As the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II replaced most USAFE fighters in the 1960s, Phantom detachments became the predominant activity at Wheelus. USAFE's use of Wheelus continued until 1970, when as part of the USAF withdrawal from the base, desert weapons range training ended.
United States withdrawal
Oil was discovered in Libya in 1959, and what had been one of the world's poorest countries became comparatively wealthy. The US continued a generally warm relationship with Libya and pursued policies centered on interests in operations at Wheelus Air Base and the considerable US oil interests. During the early 1960s, many children of US oil personnel sent to develop the oil field installations and pipelines were allowed to attend the high school at Wheelus, typically riding buses from residential areas in or near Tripoli. Classes often had to pause briefly while large aircraft were taking off.
The value of the installation had declined with the development of long-range nuclear missiles that had effectively replaced many bombers. Thus Wheelus served primarily as a tactical fighter training facility through the 1960s.

The Law Courts Complex was a building located on George Street and Adelaide Street, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[1] The building formerly housed the Supreme Court and District Court of Queensland, which relocated to the Queen Elizabeth II Courts of Law in August 2012.[1]
The Law Courts Complex was constructed on the site of the original Supreme Court building, which had been largely destroyed by arson on 1 September, 1968.[2] The remains of this building were demolished in October, 1976, and construction of the first stage of the complex commenced on the western end of the site.[2] Once completed, this first stage held only the Supreme Court.[2] The Supreme Court was relocated to the second, and larger stage of the complex upon its completion in the early 1980s, while the District Court began to occupy the now vacant first stage soon after.[2]
Following the relocation of the Supreme and District Courts to the Queen Elizabeth II Courts of Law in August 2012, the Law Courts Complex was decommissioned.
In May 2013 it was announced that the Law Courts site bordered by George, Adelaide and Ann streets and North Quay was sold to the Taiwan-based developer the Shayher Group. The new development proposed for the site is called 300 George Street.[3]
Major demolishing works were completed on the site by January 2015.
This is the end of the mall corridor near the CineMark construction site. CineMark is building a freestanding multiplex but it will be close to this mall entrance. For the time being, this entrance is sealed and a "Pop Up theatre" is here. I have saw things similar to this in other malls to fill vacant space but have never saw this before where people were actually interested in it!
Southland Center in Taylor, MI was opened in 1970. The mall was designed by Victor Gruen for the Dayton-Hudson Corporation (now Target).
The mall was originally anchored by a Hudson's department store. Later in the 1970s JCPenney was added. Mervyn's (now demolished for a new CineMark muliti-plex) and a Target (on an out-parcel) were added in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s a food court with a massive atrium was added. Hudson's later re-branded as Marshall Field's and again as Macy's in the 2000s. In 2006 Mervyn's left Michigan and Best Buy replaced the food court. Much of the food court was demolished for Best Buy but the atrium still exists in the middle of the store.
Since Dayton-Hudson sold off their properties and department stores, this mall is now owned by Rouse Properties. As of 2016, the mall recently got an H&M store and a CineMark cinema multiplex is being built on the old Mervyn's site. The CineMark looks like it is being built in the "NextGen" design and should be open later in 2016. I did notice a couple minor vacancies but they didn't appear like they were empty for too long. Overall, this mall seems to be doing pretty well.

The Randall Park Mall was opened in 1976 and was briefly the largest shopping center in the world, topping in at 2 million square feet. JCPenney, Horne's, Sears, May Company, and Higbee's were the original anchor stores. Sadly, the mall had a decline which led to its closure in 2009. Burlington Coat Factory (former Horne's) is the only "anchor" at the site and it is due to close in 2015. The Power Sport institute and a furniture liquidation center are the only other remaining businesses here. Much of the vacant space of the mall is undergoing demolition as of early 2015.

Built and opened by the DeBartolo Corporation, the mall opened with Sears, JCPenney, and Belk-Lindsey as original anchors, with space available for three more. Maas Brothers was originally planned to open as a fourth anchor in 1990, but these plans later fell through, due to the financial troubles that parent company Federated was going through at the time.
Dillard's and Montgomery Ward were added as fourth and fifth anchors in 1992. Around the same time, Belk-Lindsey closed at the mall and was replaced by Burdines in 1994. A 16-screen Regal Cinemas multiplex was added on to the mall in 1999 as its final newly-built anchor, replacing an older 8-screen cinema at the corner of US-41 and Cochran Boulevard (now occupied by a post office and Edgewater Church). Montgomery Ward closed in 2000-01 with the bankruptcy of the chain, and was replaced by Bealls in 2002. Burdines was renamed to Burdines-Macy’s in 2003, before becoming Macy’s in 2005.
Junior anchors of the mall include Old Navy (opened in 1999) and DSW Shoe Warehouse.
Somewhere near Chicago...
My family has the tradition of going to see a film on Christmas Day. This year was no exception. The film I really wanted to see, Mr. Turner by Mike Leigh (a biography of the great British painter), was only playing in one theatre, on Chicago's North Side. As my father is frail, it was decided that we see something playing closer to his home. Such is life!
This shot was taken just after entering the movie theatre, amid the lines of people waiting to buy tickets at an enourmous multiplex. As you can see, there were many family groups of people whose roots are on the Indian subcontinent, affectionately known as "Desi." I have no idea which film/s they were there to see. I decided to take advantage of the splendid photo opportunity...and share the shot with you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Wishing you all the best for 2015. May it be a year full of joy, good health, and marvelous photos for all of us!

The $30 million Multiplex Sports & Convention Centre (MSCC) was purpose-built in 2017 to cater for all sports, event, conference and meeting requirements, small and large
The multiplex chain of bridges between Honshu and Shikoku. I thought the bridges would be illuminated but it turns out the light show is only on Saturdays, I was there on a Sunday evening :-(.
From Wiki:
The Great Seto Bridge (瀬戸大橋 Seto Ōhashi) is a series of double deck bridges connecting Okayama and Kagawa prefectures in Japan across a series of five small islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Built over the period 1978–88, it is one of the three routes of the Honshū-Shikoku Bridge Project connecting Honshū and Shikoku islands, and the only one with railroad connections included. At 13.1 kilometers (8.1 mi), it ranks as the world's longest two-tiered bridge system.
Crossing the bridge takes about 20 minutes by car or train. The ferry crossing before the bridge was built took about an hour. The non-discounted toll from Kojima, Kurashiki (Okayama Prefecture on the Honshu side) to Sakaide (Kagawa Prefecture on the Shikoku side) is ¥3,500, and vice-versa.
