Naran (Urdu: ناران) is a town in Kaghan Valley, Mansehra District of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. The Kunhar River, swollen by glacier melt, passes through this town as it meanders its way through the valley. Makra Peak, Malka Parbat, Lalazar and Saiful Muluk are the main attractions.
Fishing Trout fishing is a popular activity in the Kaghan Valley. Fishing for brown and rainbow trout in the crystal clear water of the valley lakes and in the Kunhar River is favorite pastime for many. A fishing permit can be obtained from the Fisheries Department at Shinu or at Naran. Bringing your own angling gear is optional as you can rent equipment fro shopkeepers in Naran Bazaar. Please remember that the use of fishing nets and explosive materials for fishing in rivers and lakes are illegal as they are harmful for the healthy and sustainable growth of trout fish and other wildlife.
Fishing is the chief sport in Kaghan. Brown Trout and Mahasher are stocked in pure silvery waters in the upper parts of the valley. The Kunhar river trout is considered to be the best throughout the sub-continent. Fishing licenses are issued by the 'Fisheries Department at Naran' or by the 'Trout Hatchery' at Shinu. Apart from this there are some other private trout fish farms at Kawai (also spelled as Kiwai) and Kahania.
Trekking and Hill Walking Kaghan is an excellent destination for trekking and hill walking. There are a number of trekking routes all along the valley. Brief descriptions of some famous trekking routes are given in Annexure-IV. Naran, Shogran and Sharan are ideal base camps for one to three days outings. There are also good opportunities for those interested in more leisurely day trips, hill walking or nature study walks.
River Rafting River Rafting and kayaking are new sports currently under development along the Kunhar River. As the lifeline of Kaghan Valley, Kunhar River is excellent for rafting. Some sections between Naran are quite technical and suitable only for experienced white water paddlers. Other sections of the river, above Naran and below Balakot, are fun for beginners and are of relatively easy grade. Adventure Foundation Pakistan offers basic and advanced training courses in river running during October and April.
Jeep Safari In addition to short duration jeep rides to Sri Paya, Saiful Muluk, Lalazar and Sharan, Kaghan Valley also ideal for thrilling jeep rides from Naran to Babusar Pass and Nori Top. All these places are unique in landscape and their details are given in the Introduction section. While going on a longer duration jeep ride make sure you have selected a good local driver and jeep for a safe journey on the rough roads.

Naran is a base camp for tourists. Usually tourists stay at Naran to visit popular tourist spots nearby such as Lake Saif-ul-Malook and Lalazar which can only be accessed via 4x4 jeeps which can be hired for day excursions.
The mountain ranges which enter Mansehra district from Kashmir are the offshoots of the great Himalayan system. In Kaghan valley the mountain system is the highest of the area including the Babusar top. This range flanks the right bank of the Kunhar, contains a peak (Malika-e-Parbat) of over 17,000 feet , the highest in the district. On the mountains the grasslands are also found where Gujars and other nomads migrate during summer for grazing their sheep, goats and other animals. On the northern side there are mountains which are the extension of the same mountain system as that of Kaghan mountains. This range diverges from the eastern side at Musa-ka-Musalla a peak (13,378 feet) , which skirt the northern end of the Bhogarmang and Konsh valleys, and sends down a spur to divide the two. Here also, like Kaghan, thick forests are found especially on the higher slopes. Due to extensive exploitation only in unapproachable areas the thick forests are found.
Malika Parbat (Queen of the mountains) (el. 5,290 metres (17,356 ft)) is the highest peak in Kaghan Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan about six km south of Lake Saiful Muluk near Ansoo Lake.
The entire area is heaven for general tourists, anglers, trekkers and alpinists. Malika Parbat is accessible from Naran-Lake Saiful Muluk side and from Batakundi-Dadar Chitta Glacier. There are three summits that forms Malika Parbat, Malika Parbat Cresta, Malika Parbat Main Peak (South Peak) and Malika Parbat (North Peak). Both the summits stands climbed firstly by the Europeans and in 1998 by Rashid Butt and Omer. Rashid Butt lost his life while descending down the sheer slopes on South Peak. There are other peaks which offer considerable climbing difficulty in Siran Basin, Khabanar Valley and Burji Va-lley, while from Burawai, another cirqua of low peaks is equally good for mountaineering.

In 2008, this permit was filed by Orchard Supply Hardware to tear down the existing vacant 31,500 SF Albertsons and the vacant 12,000 SF space formerly home to Six Star Discount Store and Hacienda Liquors. In its place, OSH was going to build a 51,151 SF store with a 8,510 SF Nursery, a 9,280 SF Drive Thru Pick Up area for bulk items, 5521 SF for the storeroom and 27,840 SF Sales/Floor Space.
However, it appears OSH is not going through with this now, for one, I can not find the permit filed anymore (I had printed this out a last year and had it my file cabinet) and the permit sign that was out front along Foxworthy Ave. is now gone. Oh, and the space is for lease again, so it looks as though there will be no OSH. Too bad also, I wonder what will fill in this anchor space, hopefully not Ross though...

This is a photograph from the start second annual running of the Renault Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Thursday 17th March 2016 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. This photograph was taken at the Green Bridge in Mullingar town. Following on from the incredible success of the innagural year of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015 to over 900 this year. As was the case last year the nominated charity was Childline. The roots of the successs of the event last year was the perfect running weather, excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year. Incredibly the weather was almost a carbon copy of last year - cool, clear, still fresh Spring weather presenting runners with little or no wind. Participants travelled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The race's early start time was to facilitate the annual St. Patrick's Day parade which brings a large number of local visitors to the town on an annual basis. Parking is free in Mullingar town for the entire day.
The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross the M4 at Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel which is the Race Headquarters. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel.
Timing and event organisation was provided by Irish company MyRunResults. You can find all of the results of the race on their website at www.myrunresults.com

Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages.

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Con el proyecto “Adaptación al Cambio Climático en la Alta Montaña” del área estratégica de conservación Chingaza-Sumapaz-Guerrero, el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible ha rehabilitado y recuperado 577 hectáreas de bosque de la mano de 64 familias, que han evidenciado cómo es posible encontrar el equilibrio entre el sustento de sus hogares y la conservación de los páramos.
En su visita a la zona rural de Sesquilé y Guatavita, donde se desarrolla parte del proyecto, el ministro de Ambiente, Carlos Eduardo Correa, precisó que “este es un proyecto de 4,2 millones de dólares de recursos del Fondo Mundial para el Medio Ambiente (GEF) y cooperación internacional, que tiene a Conservación Internacional como ejecutor. Aquí es palpable la armonía entre lo social, lo ambiental y lo económico; podemos ver, por ejemplo, cómo con la apicultura las familias no solo están están vendiendo miel y polen, sino también cómo, gracias a las colmenas de abeja, en el área hay mejores flores y cómo hay un proceso de restauración en las zonas que habían sido deforestadas. Este es un modelo que queremos replicar en otros municipios de la alta montaña de la mano del Ministerio de Agricultura”.
Además, el ministro Correa recordó que “las comunidades de los páramos y la alta montaña tienen un grado alto de vulnerabilidad frente a los impactos del cambio climático, por eso, este tipo de proyectos les permiten a los habitantes optar por soluciones basadas en la naturaleza para que puedan obtener ingresos”.
Con la implementación de estas medidas de adaptación, se potencia la economía campesina, se garantiza la seguridad alimentaria y se reduce la vulnerabilidad a los efectos del cambio climático. Este proyecto involucra acciones de restauración y rehabilitación participativa del bosque alto andino con árboles nativos en las microcuencas de los ríos Guandoque, San Francisco, Chipatá y Chisacá; iniciativas sostenibles de 22 cultivos de hortalizas, aromáticas y frutales; monitoreo comunitario del clima en veredas de los municipios de Sesquilé y Guatavita; sistemas silvopastoriles para regular y retener agua a través de la renovación de praderas y siembras de árboles; entre otras.
Red de viveros de alta montaña
Durante su visita, el ministro de Ambiente anunció la creación de la Red de Viveros de Alta Montaña que será consolidada con la Alcaldía de Sesquilé y el Ministerio de Agricultura. “Tenemos la meta de sembrar 180 millones de árboles a 2022 y para eso necesitamos una red de viveros sólida y qué más que esta zona, del país que es una región de páramos, para consolidar esa Red de Viveros de Alta Montaña”, sintetizó.
Los viveros que pertenezcan a la red podrán ser proveedores de las plántulas destinadas a las siembras que se realicen en los próximos dos años en los ecosistemas mencionados. Explicó, que de esta manera las familias que se involucren en la restauración ecológica podrán recibir ingresos por la venta de las plántulas.
La adaptación en la alta montaña
Los ecosistemas de alta montaña son estratégicos y esenciales para Bogotá y el territorio, ya que los páramos de Chingaza, Sumapaz y Guerrero, son la fuente principal de suministro de agua para el Distrito Capital. Por esta razón, esta iniciativa busca fortalecer la capacidad y regulación de agua en las zonas altas de los embalses de Neusa, Sisga, Tominé y Chingaza, permitiendo desarrollar acciones que garanticen el abastecimiento del preciado líquido a la ciudad de Bogotá y 21 municipios aledaños.
El Proyecto “Adaptación al cambio climático” es financiado por el fondo GEF, implementado por el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo y ejecutado por el Ministerio del Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible en alianza con Conservación Internacional Colombia y sus principales socios son: las Corporaciones Autónomas Regionales de Cundinamarca y Corpoguavio, La empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Bogotá y el Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales IDEAM.
El proyecto concentra sus acciones en la identificación y estudio de posibles escenarios de cambio climático detallados para la región, en la capacidad de estas áreas para suministrar y regular el agua en escenarios de cambio, en la vulnerabilidad socioecológica, económica, cultural y de género y la implementación de medidas de adaptación para el mejoramiento del uso de la tierra, el uso eficiente del agua y el fortalecimiento de capacidades de las comunidades que habitan estas zonas. / Oct. 25, 2020.

Expert from his email:
I checked at the Recorders Office. Beunter bought the property from the Manheim Realty & Investment Company (they platted and developed the subdivision in 1908). The warranty deed is dated June 27, 1911.
I also checked if Emmet Gamble bought any lots in the subdivision. He bought Lot 8, Block 5 of Squier Manor from the Manheim Investment company in 1910. This lot is currently 1314 Manheim. He sold the property to KC Trust Co. in 1914 and bought the property back in 1915. The house on that lot dates to 1935. I am getting the impression that the house was designed by never built.

As we approached Cho Oyu, where we had a permit to visit the Base Camp only, we actually missed the Base Camp as it was empty. This was wintertime and no climbers.
Instead we drove straight into the Chinese military camp and where greeted by young Chinese border patrols. After the shootings and controversy surrounding nearby Nangpa La, this military camp is manned all year round to protect against refugees fleeing Tibet. It is the highest altitude military station in the world.
We could see Nangpa La in the horizon along the glacier, and with Jonathan Greens excellent book "Murder in the high Himalayas" actually still rolling as an audiobook in my ears, depicting the shootings, murders, that happened here some years ago - by these very same military - this was surreal. And very nervous.
The place was also beautiful in an outerworldly way. But standing there, enjoying the view with these Chinese military boys was one of the strangest experiences of my life.

8. Gran Portal y Escalera de Honor
El zaguán está dotado, como otros muchos portales de Madrid, de dos enormes puertas gemelas cuya función, hoy olvidada, era permitir el acceso de los carruajes de invitados y proveedores por una de ellas y la salida por la contraria facilitando así las complicadas maniobras con las caballerías. Por el contrario, los coches de la casa continuaban el trayecto hasta el arranque de la escalera y, una vez allí, los señores podían descender con comodidad, mientras que el cochero accedía al patio interior donde estaban las caballerizas y el guadarnés.
La Escalera de Honor era uno de los espacios más escenográficos en estos palacetes
decimonónicos; en ella era importante exaltar el prestigio social de los propietarios de la casa.
En la del palacio Cerralbo destacan la barandilla de hierro forjado que perteneció al antiguo Monasterio de las Salesas Reales de la reina Bárbara de Braganza y el gran escudo con las armas del matrimonio Cerralbo, enmarcado entre dos tapices del siglo xvii: uno bruselense con escudos cuartelados de los Carvajal, Padilla, Acuña y Enríquez, y otro de Pastrana con las armas de los Silva, Mendoza y de la Cerda.
El Museo Cerralbo presenta la singularidad de ser uno de los escasos ejemplos en Madrid de palacete decimonónico que conserva su decoración original.
Fue la residencia del XVII marqués de Cerralbo, don Enrique de Aguilera (1845-1922) y su familia, compuesta por su mujer doña Inocencia Serrano y Cerver (1816-1896), viuda de don Antonio del Valle y los dos hijos que esta aporta al matrimonio, don Antonio del Valle y Serrano (1846-1900), I marqués de Villa-Huerta, y doña Amelia (1850-1927), marquesa de Villa-Huerta desde el fallecimiento de su hermano.
Como palacio-museo es un referente obligado para conocer la forma de vida de la aristocracia madrileña de finales del sigo xix y comienzos del xx.
Además, como museo de un coleccionista refleja el gusto artístico de su época, un conjunto considerado, en su momento, como una de las colecciones privadas
más importantes del país y, sin duda, la más completa de su tiempo.
El museo
El edificio, construido entre 1883 y 1893, fue concebido desde un primer momento como vivienda y como lugar donde exponer de forma armónica las obras de arte, antigüedades y curiosidades reunidas por el afán coleccionista de sus propietarios.
Antiguo palacio hoy museo, consta de cuatro plantas: semisótano, piso entresuelo, piso principal y buhardillas. En el semisótano y las buhardillas, antaño dedicados a
servicios del palacio tales como cocinas, despensas, cocheras, cuadras, guadarnés, calderas y cuartos de criados, hoy se encuentran el Salón de Actos y las áreas de uso interno: oficinas, laboratorios de restauración y almacenes.
La visita transcurre por los dos pisos restantes, el primero, o Entresuelo, destinado a la vida cotidiana de los marqueses, y el segundo, o Principal, dedicado a la vida social.
La inalterabilidad al paso del tiempo es sólo aparente, pues a los lógicos cambios operados en la vivienda por la variación de las circunstancias familiares se unen primero el terrible acontecimiento de la guerra civil y, después, las reformas museográficas del siglo xx.
Desde 2002 se ha venido llevando a cabo un minucioso trabajo centrado en la recuperación de los ambientes originales del primitivo palacio.
Esto supone el sacrificio de la apreciación individualizada de las obras de arte en favor de la lectura global de la sala, considerada, ahora, como una pieza de interés artístico en sí misma.
Feliz sexta-feira a todos os amigos!!!!

COMPLEJO LA PETXINA, 1902
Antiguo Matadero Municipal
Paseo de la Pechina 42
Arquitecto:
Luis Ferreres Soler
Intervenciones:
Carlos Campos González (2004)
Carlos Payá Tenorio (2004)
Proyectado en 1895 e inaugurado siete años más tarde, es sin duda la obra más importante de su autor y una de las más significativas de la arquitectura civil del tránsito del s. XIX al XX, en un contexto de preocupación por las medidas higienicas que fueron prohibiendo la presencia de las actividades insalubres en el interior de la ciudad. Su situación e determinó en el antiguo camino de Madrid, y junto al camino de Tránsitos.
De marcado carácter industrial, su planta, sobre un terreno de 12.875 m2 busca la simetría a pesar de la irregularidad del solar, estableciendo tres naves de matanza en las que se distribuían las distintas clases de ganado: vacuno, lanar y cabrío, y de cerda. Las naves, construidas con una cuidada utilización del ladrillo, austeras en la ornamentación y con paramentos provistos de grandes ventanales sustentan sus cubiertas mediante una original estructura de pilares de hierro fundido y vigas de celosía, que albergaban el sistema de manipulación de las reses. Su iluminación se reforzaba mediante unos lucernarios longitudinales que sobrealzan el testero mediante un alargado hueco con arco de medio punto dispuesto para favorecer la ventilación. También se disponía de un novedoso sistema de limpieza por inundación utilizando las aguas de riego de la vecina acequia de Rovella. La fachada principal fue desgraciadamente desfigurada hacia 1940 para permitir el paso de camiones de mayor tonelaje, dejando de utilizarse para su función original en 1969. En su momento fue considerado el mejor matadero de España, junto con el de Zaragoza, y fue objeto de publicación en la revista madrileña “Pequeñas Monografias” de Alfonso Dubé en 1913. En la actualidad tras una completa y eficaz restauración se ha convertido en un centro deportivo-cultural dependiente del Ayuntamiento, dotando al edificio de nuevos servicios como piscina o residencia para deportistas de elite, al tiempo que se han adecuado las viejas naves para gimnasio, polideportivo bibliotecas, salones de reuniones y servicios complementarios.

EInicialmente o edifício do DER (1958), locado próximo ao cruzamento das Avenidas Frei Serafim e Miguel Rosa, é historicamente importante por ter sido uma das primeiras edificações institucionais de características modernistas de Teresina. A avenida Frei Serafim anteriormente nomeada Av. Getulio Vargas, é uma das principais vias de acesso na área central da cidade, onde também localiza-se uma grande quantidade de prédios históricos.
Projetado por Maurício Sued, possui semelhanças arquitetônicas com os edifícios das super quadras de Brasília. A sua geometria prismática e sua configuração de um bloco retangular, de fachadas longitudinais sentido leste-oeste encontra-se atualmente inserido da malha urbana, bem ao centro da cidade. Com a estrutura suportante realizada em concreto armado, como o pavimento térreo aberto, marcado pela seqüência de pilotis, permitindo também uma estrutura livre, demonstrando um programa contido em que os pavimentos atendem de modo sustentável as variações das administrações públicas.
A fachada oeste é formada por elementos vazados, e a fachada leste protegidas por brises, e fechamentos em vidros e alumínio. Como características de prédios modernos a entrada principal marcada por marquise, o acesso aos pavimentos por uma escada helicoidal, e um belo painel do artista plástico Genes retrata o típico vaqueiro piauiense na mata e Carnaubais. A coberta integrada e laje recoberta por telhas de fibrocimento.
Quanto a pesquisa de dados originais do prédio, no arquivo público da cidade foram encontradas apenas fotografias e datas mencionando sua inauguração. Plantas em papel vegetal e nanquim são guardadas no setor de engenharia do prédio, podendo ser disponibilizadas, mas nestas não constam todas as datas, ou informações sobre o projeto, pois os carimbos estão incompletos. È perceptível a modificação do projeto em relação ao auditório, Auditório e Sala de Debates Prof. Herbert Parentes Fortes, com obra finalizada em 24 de março de 1973. Em arquivos de outro arquiteto Antonio Luiz Dutra, existe projeto de reforma em relação ao auditório, mas que não chegaram a serem realizadas.

Contractors and NCDOT Engineers met to discuss US 421 / I-40 Business Reconstruction (U-2827B) as part of the ongoing project development. Some general items addressed include: Design, Utilities, Permitting, Right-of-Way and Public Communication. Team members meet on a frequent basis.
About the project: The first section of interstate highway in North Carolina, the 1.2-mile section of U.S. 421/I-40 Business through downtown Winston-Salem opened in 1958 as part of the East-West Expressway. Since then, it has served the city and state well – requiring little maintenance – but because of its age and the outdated design standards, it can no longer accommodate the growing traffic demands of the area.
The combination of age and insufficiencies, coupled with the increasing traffic volumes and accidents, prompted the N.C. Department of Transportation to make a big decision in 2006. It was time to rebuild and streamline the section of Business 40 from west of Fourth Street to east of Church Street. After nearly ten years of planning, the "new and improved" Business 40 will be constructed to meet current design standards so that it can function safely and effectively for the next 50 years – the typical lifespan of an interstate.
Project Highlights
Planning and design for the project began in 2007, and crews broke ground on the $99.2 million project in October 2016. Work, expected to be complete by 2020, involves:
Removing and replacing the existing roadway pavement
Modernizing the entrance and exit ramps
Removing and replacing most bridges on and over Business 40
Lengthening the acceleration and deceleration lanes between ramps
Widening existing roadway shoulders and adding new shoulders
Building portions of a multi-use patch from Lockland Avenue to Liberty Street
Design-Build Process Overview
NCDOT is using a process called "Design-Build," in which a team of designers and contractors are responsible for a project's design, right-of-way acquisition construction and other aspects. The method reduces overall construction time, helps NCDOT avoid cost inflation, allows the contractor to make innovations that save taxpayers money, lessens the environmental impact of the project and alleviates any driving delays for motorists.
The Design-Build process for the Business 40 improvements project has two phases.
Phase I involves improvement to Peters Creek Parkway and other area roadways to manage traffic during Phase II of the project. Work includes:
Widening Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between Marchall and Trade streets
Improving the intersection at Peters Creek Parkway and Academy Street
Replacing and widening the Peters Creek Parkway bridge over Business 40
Widening and enhancing the ramps at the Peters Creek Parkway interchange
Widening Peters Creek Parkway from the interchange to First Street
Building temporary improvements at various intersections to better handle detoured traffic
Conducting limited work on Business 40 to prepare for its closures
Phase II, which will involve closing I-40 for no more than two years, will begin in late 2018 or early 2019 after Phase 1 is complete. Work involves removing and repaving the interstate and replacing 10 bridges.
A preliminary permit for interior demolition has been granted in preparation for the revitalization of the Cameron Building, which has been vacant for several years and is now proposed as the new headquarters for local incubator mHUB. Gensler has been confirmed as the project architect. Constructed in 1926, Cameron Building was designed by Thielbar and Fugard in the Prairie Style and functioned as a manufacturing plant for the Cameron Can Company for many years. It later housed the headquarters for Crate & Barrel’s CB2 until 2019. mHUB plans to relocate from its current 63,000-square-foot facility at 965 W. Chicago Ave. to the larger 80,000-square-foot building as its existing lease is set to expire next year.

Jaisalmer Fort is one of the largest fortifications in the world. It is situated in the city of Jaisalmer, in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is a World Heritage Site. It was built in 1156 AD by the Rajput ruler Rawal Jaisal (whose son was Shalivahan II. Manj & Bhati Rajputs are the descendants of him.), from whom it derives it name. The fort stands proudly amidst the golden stretches of the great Thar Desert, on Trikuta Hill, and has been the scene of many battles. Its massive yellow sandstone walls are a tawny lion colour during the day, fading to honey-gold as the sun sets, thereby camouflaging the fort in the yellow desert. For this reason, it is also known as the Sonar Quila or Golden Fort. The fort is located in the very heart the city, and is one of the most notable monuments in the locality.
HISTORY
During medieval times, the city played a major role in trade with Persia, Arabia, Egypt and Africa. The fort contains 3 layers of walls. The outer or the lower layer is made out of solid stone blocks and it reinforces the loose rubble of Trikuta Hill. The second, or middle, wall snakes around the fort. From the innermost, or third, wall, the Rajput warriors once hurled boiling oil and water as well as massive blocks of rock at their enemies, who would become entrapped between the second and third walls. This defences of the fort include 99 bastions, of which 92 were built between the period of 1633-47.
Ala-ud-din Khilji attacked and captured the fort in the 13th century and managed to hold it for 9 years. During the siege of the fort the Rajput women committed Jauhar. The second battle at the fort happened in 1541, when Mughal emperor Humayun attacked the fort city.
With the advent of British rule, the emergence of maritime trade and the growth of the port of Bombay led to the gradual economic decline of Jaisalmer. After independence and the Partition of India, the ancient trade route was totally closed, thus sealing the fate of the city. Nonetheless, the continued strategic importance of Jaisalmer was demonstrated during the 1965 and 1971 wars between India and Pakistan. Although at one point the entire population of Jaisalmer lived within the fort, it today has a resident population of about 4,000 people who are largely from the Brahmin and Daroga communities. They are mostly descendants of the workforce of the Bhati rulers of Jaisalmer which was permitted to reside within the fort's premises. With an increase in population, people gradually relocated to the foot of the Trikuta Hill and the town of Jaisalmer spread out from the fort.
MAJOR ATTRACTIONS

4 massive gateways
Merchant Havelis. These are large houses often built by wealthy merchants in Rajasthani towns and cities in North India, with beautiful, ornate sandstone carvings. Some havelis are many hundreds of years old. In Jaisalmer there are many elaborate havelis carved from yellow sandstone. Some of these have many floors and countless rooms, with decorated windows, archways, doors and balconies. Some havelis are today museums but most in Jaisalmer are still lived in by the families that built them. Among these is the Vyas haveli which was built in the 15th century, which is still occupied by the descendants of the original builders. Another example is the Shree Nath Palace which was once inhabited by the prime minister of Jaisalmer. Some of the doors and ceilings are wonderful examples of old carved wood from many hundreds of years ago.
The fort has an ingenious drainage system called the ghut nali which allows for the easy drainage of rainwater away from the fort in all four directions of the fort. Over the years, haphazard construction activities and building of new roads has greatly reduced its effectiveness.
The fort has numerous eateries, including Italian, French, and native cuisines. The famous Indian film director Satyajit Ray wrote the Sonar Kella (The Golden Fortress), a detective novel, based on the fort and he later filmed it here. The film became a classic and a large number of tourists from Bengal and around the world visit the fort annually to experience for themselves the world that Ray portrayed in the movie.
THREATS TO THE FORT
The Jaisalmer Fort today faces manifold threats that are a result of the increasing population pressure on it. Water seepage, inadequate civic amenities, derelict houses and seismic activity around the Trikuta Hill are some of the major concerns impacting the Fort. Unlike most other forts, the Jaisalmer Fort has been built over a weak sedimentary rock foothill which makes its foundations especially vulnerable to seepage. Over the years this has led to the collapse of significant portions of the Fort such as the Queen’s Palace or Rani Ka Mahal and parts of the outer boundary wall and the lower pitching walls.
The World Monuments Fund included the Fort in its 1996 World Monuments Watch and again in the 1998 and 2000 reports due to the threats posed to it by an increase in its resident population and the increasing numbers of tourists who visit it every year. The Fort is one of Rajasthan's most popular tourist attractions with as many as five to six hundred thousand tourists visiting it annually. As a result, it is abuzz with commercial activities and has seen a phenomenal growth in both human and vehicular traffic.
Major restoration work has been undertaken by the World Monuments Fund and UK based charity Jaisalmer in Jeopardy. According to former INTACH chairman S.K. Misra, American Express has provided more than $1 million for the conservation of Jaisalmer Fort. The absence of coordinated action among the various government departments responsible for civic amenities, the local municipality and the Archaeological Survey that is responsible for the upkeep of the fort is a major impediment in its maintenance and restoration.

Descripción
De este palacio de carácter urbano, cuyo proyecto aparece firmado por José Purkiss, se han encontrado datos que permiten suponer una importante intervención del arquitecto Pascual Herráiz, que trabajó de forma continuada para el marqués de Villamejor. Cuando éste murió y tras el fallecimiento de su viuda, los herederos vendieron el palacio al infante don Carlos de Borbón y Borbón, que se trasladó allí con su esposa doña Mª Luisa de Orleáns. Después de 1914, don Carlos cede el palacio al gobierno de Alfonso XIII para instalar la Presidencia del Consejo de Ministros. Para ello sufre una transformación de la mano de José Espelius y Anduaga. A partir de 1955 se hace cargo de la conservación el arquitecto Diego Méndez, que hace algunos cambios y restauraciones, volviéndose a hacer reformas en 1975 para añadir un pabellón de cafetería. El edificio es de planta rectangular en torno a un patio y tiene una composición de fachada simétrica con un cuerpo central destacado y avanzado en planta baja, con un estilo muy afín al neoclasicismo madrileño del siglo XIX con su combinación de ladrillo y piedra que recoge la herencia de Villanueva, pero con más riqueza decorativa. Destacan por su esplendor y conservación de buena parte del mobiliario original los interiores de salones y escaleras.
