St. Louis is the second-largest city in Missouri, United States. It is located near the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers. In 2020, the city proper had a population of 301,578, while its bi-state metropolitan area, which extends into Illinois, had an estimated population of over 2.8 million, making it the largest metropolitan area in Missouri and the second-largest in Illinois.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. St. Louis was founded on February 14, 1764, by French fur traders Gilbert Antoine de St. Maxent, Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, who named it for king Louis IX of France, and it quickly became the regional center of the old Illinois Country. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain. In 1800, it was retroceded to France, which sold it three years later to the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase; the city was then the point of embarkation for the Corps of Discovery on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. In the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; from 1870 until the 1920 census, it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
A global city with a metropolitan GDP of more than $160 billion in 2017, metropolitan St. Louis has a diverse economy with strengths in the service, manufacturing, trade, transportation, and tourism industries. It is home to eight Fortune 500 companies. Major companies headquartered or with significant operations in the city include Ameren Corporation, Peabody Energy, Nestlé Purina PetCare, Anheuser-Busch, Wells Fargo Advisors, Stifel Financial, Spire, Inc., MilliporeSigma, FleishmanHillard, Square, Inc., Anthem BlueCross and Blue Shield, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Centene Corporation, and Express Scripts.
Major research universities include Washington University in St. Louis, Saint Louis University and University of Missouri–St. Louis. The Washington University Medical Center in the Central West End neighborhood hosts an agglomeration of medical and pharmaceutical institutions, including Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
St. Louis has four professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball, the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League, St. Louis City SC of Major League Soccer, and the St. Louis BattleHawks of the XFL. Among the city's notable sights is the 630-foot (192 m) Gateway Arch in Downtown St. Louis, the St. Louis Zoo, the Missouri Botanical Garden, the St. Louis Art Museum, and Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum.

Anheuser-Busch Companies, LLC is an American brewing company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. Since 2008, it has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) which also has its North American regional management headquarters in St. Louis.
The original Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) was formed through successive mergers of three international brewing groups: Interbrew from Belgium, AmBev from Brazil and Anheuser-Busch. Hence, since 2008, Anheuser-Busch has been a division of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV, now the world's largest brewing company.
The company employs over 30,000 people, operates 12 breweries in the United States, and until December 2009, was one of the largest theme park operators in the United States, with ten theme parks through the company's family entertainment division, Busch Entertainment Corporation.

Anheuser-Busch Brewery is a brewery complex in St. Louis, Missouri.
The brewery, opened in 1852 by German immigrant Adolphus Busch, is designated as a National Historic Landmark District. Free public tours of the brewery are given. The tour takes visitors through the complex, and those of the legal age can enjoy two free glasses of any Anheuser-Busch product in the Hospitality Room after the tour. Tourists can see beer being made and packaged in a working part of the brewery.
The company keeps a rotation of its famous Budweiser Clydesdales at its headquarters; the historic draft horses were originally used to pull wagons carrying beer in the 19th-century days of the company. Visitors to the brewery can observe the Clydesdales in their exercise field and see their places in the carriage house.
Some of the herd is kept at the company farm in St. Louis County. Known as Grant's Farm (having been owned by former President Ulysses S. Grant at one time), this complex is home to a menagerie of animals such as elephants, tortoises, and a variety of exotic hooved mammals. Since 2008, approximately half of the Budweiser Clydesdales are kept at the Warm Springs Ranch near Booneville, Missouri.
The brewery was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1966, recognizing the company's importance in the history of beer brewing and distribution in the United States. The landmarked area includes 189 structures spread over 142 acres (57 ha), including many red brick Romanesque ones "with square crenelated towers and elaborate details." The Brew House, built in 1891-1892, is particularly notable for its "multi-storied hop chandeliers, intricate iron-work, and utilization of natural light".

Iglesia de San Mateo (Tarifa)
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iglesia_de_San_Mateo_(Tarifa)
La iglesia de San Mateo es la iglesia principal de Tarifa (Provincia de Cádiz, España), desde que dejó de serlo la extinguida Iglesia de Santa María, construida sobre los restos de una antigua mezquita existente dentro del recinto de su Alcazaba. Su origen parece estar en el aumento demográfico y urbanístico que experimenta la villa a consecuencia de la victoria cristiana de la Batalla del Salado, y por la conquista que los granadinos de Muhammed V realizan sobre Algeciras en el año 1369 tras un breve asedio, obligando a los cristianos a refugiarse y afincarse en Tarifa, llevando consigo documentos, alhajas, imágenes y vasos sagrados de la parroquia algecireña. Su advocación se dedica a este santo apóstol en memoria de que en ese día fue ganada la plaza a los musulmanes en el año 1292.
Descripción
Su construcción se supone de hacia 1506, encontrándose documentada la existencia de culto en el templo ya desde el año 1534.
A esta época corresponde la planta primitiva de la iglesia, de tres naves, y las bóvedas de crucería gótica, muy elaboradas especialmente en la nave central y en el crucero, donde se convierte en una espléndida bóveda de terceletes. También son de esta época el sistema estructural y de empujes de estas bóvedas, que descansan sobre pilastras formadas por finos baquetones con capiteles corridos y basas labradas individualmente sobre zócalo común; y en el exterior los gruesos contrafuertes, visibles en el lateral izquierdo y ocultos bajo capillas adosadas en el siglo XVIII en el derecho.
La fachada principal responde a un diseño creado por el arquitecto Torcuato Cayón de la Vega en 1774, acabándose la obra cuatro años más tarde bajo la dirección del maestro Carlos Hermida. Se trata de una monumental portada barroca muy esbelta y embutida en el centro del muro entre pilastras cajeadas de orden gigante, en cuya parte baja sitúa la puerta de entrada entre columnas clásicas sobre altos paramentos, con fustes estriados y capiteles corintios. Más arriba, una hornacina rematada por un óculo acoge una imagen de la Virgen entre columnas lisas y pináculos decorativos. Finalmente, se acaba el conjunto con una original y elegante crestería barroca ondulada y rematada asimismo con pináculos, con una cruz de piedra en el centro. La torre campanario, de base cuadrada, muy robusta, y prácticamente lisa en todo el cuerpo principal de su fuste, se acaba con un cuerpo de campanas rematado por cúpula gallonada.
La decoración interior de esta iglesia no conserva casi nada de su época primitiva. El ciejo retablo mayor de estilo clásico realizado por el arquitecto Andrés de Castillejos, que ocupaba la Capilla Mayor, fue sustituido por el actual de inspiración gótica, y tanto su estructura como sus cuadros están hoy despiezados y repartidos por las naves laterales.
La Capilla del Sagrario, a continuación del crucero en el lado de la epístola, es un interesante añadido del siglo XVIII restaurado en1899. De planta circular, se cubre con una magnífica cúpula sobre pechinas que se prolonga hasta el suelo formando tres capillas semicirculares, la central más amplia. Esta capilla presenta una fachada hacia el interior de la iglesia en forma de arco apuntado en cuyo tímpano aparece un Calvario del siglo XVI, y a la que se sobrepone otra fachada barroca con profusa decoración de mármoles.

A visit to the National Trust property of Melford Hall in Long Melford. It was the closest National Trust property to Sudbury in Suffolk.
Melford Hall is a stately home in the village of Long Melford, Suffolk, England. It is the ancestral seat of the Parker Baronets.
The hall was mostly constructed in the 16th century, incorporating parts of a medieval building held by the abbots of Bury St Edmunds which had been in use since before 1065. It has similar roots to nearby Kentwell Hall.
It passed from the abbots during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and was later granted by Queen Mary to Sir William Cordell. From Cordell it passed via his sister to Thomas and Mary Savage before being sold back into another male Cordell line. During the Stour Valley Riots of 1642 the house was attacked and damaged by an anti-Catholic crowd. In 1786 it was sold to Harry Parker, son of Admiral Hyde Parker.
Beatrix Potter was a cousin of the family and was a frequent visitor to the hall from the 1890s onwards.
One wing of the hall was gutted by fire in February 1942 but rebuilt after World War II, retaining the external Tudor brickwork with 1950s interior design.
The hall was first opened to the public in 1955 by Ulla, Lady Hyde Parker. In 1960 it passed into the care of the National Trust. It is generally open on weekend afternoons in April and October, and on afternoons from Wednesday to Sunday during May to September.
The Hall grounds host a number of events including the "Big Night Out" every November to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night and from 2013 the annual LeeStock Music Festival.

The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters).
The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. The surrounding area is contained within the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of the preservation of the Grand Canyon area and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon.
For thousands of years, the area has been continuously inhabited by Native Americans, who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon a holy site, and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.

Grand Canyon National Park is a national park of the United States located in northwestern Arizona, the 15th site to have been named as a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than 4.7 million recreational visitors in 2023. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The park celebrated its 100th anniversary on February 26, 2019.

Entirely within the state of Arizona, the park encompasses 278 miles (447 km) of the Colorado River and adjacent uplands. Located on the ancestral homelands of 11 present day Tribal Communities, Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular examples of erosion anywhere in the world—a mile deep canyon unmatched in the incomparable vistas it offers visitors from both north and south rims.

The brewery, opened in 1852 by German immigrant Adolphus Busch, is designated as a National Historic Landmark District. Free public tours of the brewery are given. The tour takes visitors through the complex, and those of the legal age can enjoy two free glasses of any Anheuser-Busch product in the Hospitality Room after the tour. Tourists can see beer being made and packaged in a working part of the brewery.
The company keeps a rotation of its famous Budweiser Clydesdales at its headquarters; the historic draft horses were originally used to pull wagons carrying beer in the 19th-century days of the company. Visitors to the brewery can observe the Clydesdales in their exercise field and see their places in the carriage house.
Some of the herd is kept at the company farm in St. Louis County. Known as Grant's Farm (having been owned by former President Ulysses S. Grant at one time), this complex is home to a menagerie of animals such as elephants, tortoises, and a variety of exotic hooved mammals. Since 2008, approximately half of the Budweiser Clydesdales are kept at the Warm Springs Ranch near Booneville, Missouri.
The brewery was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1966, recognizing the company's importance in the history of beer brewing and distribution in the United States. The landmarked area includes 189 structures spread over 142 acres (57 ha), including many red brick Romanesque ones "with square crenelated towers and elaborate details." The Brew House, built in 1891-1892, is particularly notable for its "multi-storied hop chandeliers, intricate iron-work, and utilization of natural light".

Anclados a la nada, con el mayor desapego, los hilos de Hyalotheca se dejan llevar para ser todo. Alegran así a trazos de verde las aguas calmadas y frías de cualquier turbera. Fustes de columnas tumbadas, collarcitos de esmeraldas que serpentean y desgranan. Sus cuentas ruedan sin prisa en las gotas, todas ellas enfundadas en su halo, abrigo de gelatina en invierno, piel invisible en verano.
Parece que Hyalotheca está hecha para todo, alga para la sequía y para el agua, para el hielo y el estío, para montañas y hondonadas, para una vida tranquila o viajera, y siempre siempre para la luz.
Quizá el principal logro para poder vivir de tantas maneras diferentes sea la caja blanda y transparente que le da el nombre y sostiene su vida, Hyalotheca , “estuche hialino”, una gruesa envuelta gelatinosa invisible a nuestros ojos cuando se observa al microscopio óptico con las técnicas de iluminación convencional, pero que se deja ver con absoluta nitidez si se observa a través de esta ventana mágica empleando técnicas como las de contraste de fase o interferencia.
La gruesa cubierta gelatinosa de Hyalotheca es como la misma capa del “hombre invisible", a ella la protege de todo, aun dándole visibilidad.
Hyalotheca dissiliens es una especie que sobrevive a las carreras y los saltos, a los torbellinos y las sequías de estas montañas azotadas por el viento y arropadas por la nieve, abrasadas por el sol y labradas por el agua y por el tiempo, así deja su huella de vida en pequeños trazos rectos bajo una fina lámina de agua. Filamentos cortos de alga colonial en el que poco a poco sus individuos se desgranan mientras van sembrando el agua de vida.
En su estrategia para sobrevivir Hyalotheca no se separa de sus hermanas gemelas y forma colonias de tallitos alineados en las que, ensambladas una tras otra todas ganan, aunque cada una de ellas viva su propia vida. Así, unidas, tienen más fácil poder flotar y acercarse a la superficie de las aguas para tomar la luz del Sol.
La gruesa envuelta gelatinosa y transparente además de protegerla de los depredadores, evita su desecación y favorece su dispersión al quedarse adherida con mucha facilidad al plumaje o el pelo de los animales que visitan las lagunas, charcas y lagos en los que habita.
Las células de Hyalotheca tienen forma de ancho anillo y en el interior de cada una de ellas los cloroplastos, desde el centro, como si fueran unas aspas de molino forman nueve láminas radiales como nueve alas radios de una rueda que como la vida rueda o va a saltos, y así, en cualquier giro del filamento de la colonia siempre tendrán extendidas las alas hacia el Sol, por eso, cuando se observa cada una de las células desde arriba se dibuja una estrella.
El género Hyalotheca está representado por once especies, la mayoría de ellas, como ésta, Hyalotheca dissiliens , de distribución cosmopolita. Hoy Hyalotheca deja sus trazos de vida junto al bosque de nieblas y los días de afilado sol
Hyalotheca vive en las turberas de Peña Yerre entre los esfagnos y la vegetación acuática que ahora duerme, como duerme el desnudo bosque de abedules que la arropa. Las fotografías tomadas en vivo con las técnicas de contraste de interferencia, contraste de fase, campo oscuro y epifluorescencia a 200 y 400 aumentos proceden de unas muestras recogidas el 24 de enero de 2025 en las faldas de la Sierra Cebollera en unas turberas junto a Lumbreras, que son un tesoro de biodiversidad

Oxytricha corretea como un ciempiés de cuerpo corto, haciendo cosquillas a las algas y a los grumos que forman montañas y bosques en la inmensidad de los fondos del Lago.
Juega a esconderse entre las sombras, y sale a luz en un salto imprevisible, para encontrar a su paso cualquier fragmento de alga verde, o con suerte, alguna entera que será su desayuno.
Su vida está llena de encuentros casuales que van pintando de colores su cuerpecito minúsculo.
Así, poco a poco, los dorados y los verdes engarzado como gemas hacen de este ciliado una preciosa joya ambulante que hoy adorna con su vida las gotas de este Lago de Sanabria, tan hermoso y maltratado, no quizá por voluntad sino por la desidia y descuido.
Qué fácil sería que un buen sistema de depuración evitase que el tesoro que alberga el alma de las aguas de este Lago se perdiese, y que los niños, mañana pudieran asomarse a sus aguas cristalinas y frías, como antaño y hoy verdosas y cálidas como una sopa de despojos no apetecida.
Camuflada entre los grumos Oxytricha corretea recorriendo los islotes sumergidos en carreras de ciempiés. Unas veces, paso a paso, y otras veces con las prisas de un cohete, entra y sale por los grumos. A veces también, sin pensarlo, en un salto se lanza hacia vacío y entre las gotas nada tan ágil como si fuese un pez.
Allí hasta donde puede alcanzar, Oxytricha garabatea con sus patas cualquier gota de agua con andares de insecto líquido o con aire más calmado prefiere esperar inmóvil a que cualquier copo verde o pardo, se cruce en su camino, para alcanzarlo y engullirlo en un instante.
El género Oxytricha incluye a un complejo conjunto de ciliados, de mediano tamaño, representado por unas 50 especies bien identificadas y válidas y más de 60 que no han podido ser lo suficientemente estudiadas como para hacer una precisa descripción, todas ellas presentan los cilios soldados en espinosos cirros que se doblan como extremidades o que se mueven como remos, dando una versatilidad extraordinaria a la capacidad de movimiento de estos seres.
Como muchos otros ciliados, fundamentalmente herbívoros de agresivo aspecto, tiene un alma pacífica, aunque sus pasos sean nerviosos.
La monografía de Helmut Berger publicada en 1999 constituye el intento más destacado de organizar este amplio grupo de ciliados que se incluyen en la subclase (Hypotrichia), hipotricos y que por presentar cirros en la parte ventral parecen desplazarse caminando, como si se tratase de diminutos artrópodos.
Todos los ciliados de este grupo presentan unos complejos patrones en la distribución de los cirros y de las membranas que forman éstos cuando se funden, por ejemplo en la región próxima al citostoma y para conocer estos patrones es necesario un proceso de tinción especial que necesariamente pasa por la fijación y la observación de pequeños detalles estructurales con el objetivo de inmersión.
Nuestra intención en este sentido es dar a conocer la vida sin sacrificarla, y aunque no hayamos podido descubrir el nombre quizá secreto de este ciliado de los fondos del Lago de Sanabria, nos damos por satisfechos ofreciendo aquí algunos aspectos de su vida en movimiento.
Las fotografías, realizadas en vivo, a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia y contraste de fase, se han tomado sobre una muestra de fondo recolectada por Ibone Martínez Zufiria y Alberto Ávila Pérez el 12 de diciembre de 2023 junto a la Isla de Moras desde el Helios Cousteau.

la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes
Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6lak?playlist=x34ije - Rue neuve 1956 la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, villes, villages, grands ensembles réalisation : Jack Pinoteau , Panorama de la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, ce film de commande évoque les villes et villages français détruits puis reconstruits dans un style respectant la tradition : Saint-Malo, Gien, Thionville, Ammerschwihr, etc. ainsi que la reconstruction en rupture avec l'architecture traditionnelle à Châtenay-Malabry, Arles, Saint Étienne, Évreux, Chambéry, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Abbeville, Le Havre, Marseille, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkerque. Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement".

Pensacola is the westernmost city in the Florida Panhandle, and the county seat of Escambia County, Florida. As of 2018, the population was estimated to be 52,713. Pensacola is the principal city of the Pensacola Metropolitan Area, which had an estimated 494,883 residents as of 2018. Pensacola is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the Gulf Coast region, the largest between New Orleans and Tampa.
Pensacola is the site of the first Spanish settlement within the borders of the continental United States in 1559, predating the establishment of St. Augustine by 6 years, although the settlement was abandoned due to a hurricane and not re-established until 1698. Pensacola is a seaport on Pensacola Bay, which is protected by the barrier island of Santa Rosa and connects to the Gulf of Mexico. A large United States Naval Air Station, the first in the United States, is located southwest of Pensacola near Warrington; it is the base of the Blue Angels flight demonstration team and the National Naval Aviation Museum. The main campus of the University of West Florida is situated north of the city center.
The area was originally inhabited by Muskogean-speaking peoples. The Pensacola people lived there at the time of European contact, and Creek people frequently visited and traded from present-day southern Alabama. Spanish explorer Tristán de Luna founded a short-lived settlement in 1559. In 1698 the Spanish established a presidio in the area, from which the modern city gradually developed. The area changed hands several times as European powers competed in North America. During Florida's British rule (1763–1781), fortifications were strengthened.
It is nicknamed "The City of Five Flags", due to the five governments that have ruled it during its history: the flags of Spain (Castile), France, Great Britain, the United States of America, and the Confederate States of America. Other nicknames include "World's Whitest Beaches" (due to the white sand of Florida panhandle beaches), "Cradle of Naval Aviation", "Western Gate to the Sunshine State", "America's First Settlement", "Emerald Coast", "Red Snapper Capital of the World", and "P-Cola".

Decided I wanted more control over the resulting forms. To do this, I had to tone down the movement possibilities for each of the particles so there would be a greater chance the particles would spread out evenly over the surfaces of the gravity spheres. End result... hairy spheres!!! Heh, I said 'hairy spheres'. Check the hi-res versions to see the detail.

Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, first President of the United States and Founding Father. As the seat of the United States federal government and several international organizations, Washington is an important world political capital. The city is also one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 20 million tourists annually.
The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress, and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. The City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District.
Washington had an estimated population of 702,455 as of July 2018, making it the 20th most populous city in the United States. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's daytime population to more than one million during the workweek. Washington's metropolitan area, the country's sixth largest, had a 2017 estimated population of 6.2 million residents.
All three branches of the U.S. federal government are centered in the District: Congress (legislative), president (executive), and the U.S. Supreme Court (judicial). Washington is home to many national monuments, and museums, primarily situated on or around the National Mall. The city hosts 177 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of many international organizations, trade unions, non-profit, lobbying groups, and professional associations, including the World Bank Group, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization of American States, AARP, the National Geographic Society, the Human Rights Campaign, the International Finance Corporation, and the American Red Cross.
A locally elected mayor and a 13‑member council have governed the District since 1973. However, Congress maintains supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. D.C. residents elect a non-voting, at-large congressional delegate to the House of Representatives, but the District has no representation in the Senate. The District receives three electoral votes in presidential elections as permitted by the Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1961.

The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington D.C., dedicated to the memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, and to the era he represents. For the memorial's designer, landscape architect Lawrence Halprin, the memorial site represents the capstone of a distinguished career, partly because the landscape architect had fond memories of Roosevelt, and partly because of the sheer difficulty of the task.
Dedicated on May 2, 1997 by President Bill Clinton, the monument, spread over 7.5 acres (3.0 ha), traces 12 years of the history of the United States through a sequence of four outdoor rooms, one for each of FDR's terms of office. Sculptures inspired by photographs depict the 32nd president alongside his dog Fala. Other sculptures depict scenes from the Great Depression, such as listening to a fireside chat on the radio and waiting in a bread line, a bronze sculpture by George Segal. A bronze statue of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt standing before the United Nations emblem honors her dedication to the UN. It is the only presidential memorial to depict a First Lady.
Considering Roosevelt's disability, the memorial's designers intended to create a memorial that would be accessible to those with various physical impairments. Among other features, the memorial includes an area with tactile reliefs with braille writing for people who are blind. However, the memorial faced serious criticism from disabled activists. Vision-impaired visitors complained that the braille dots were improperly spaced and that some of the braille and reliefs were mounted eight feet off of the ground, placing it above the reach of most people.

14. One effect of drought is to delay flowering in most or all tillers. The plots on the left had water
excluded as soon as the first flag-leaf ligules were visible (8 to 10 d before 50% anthesis in
the control plots). The stressed plots show sparse and late flowering compared with the control plots (right), which are well advanced in grain filling.
