Ronacher
This article deals with the Ronacher theater in Vienna. For other uses, see Ronacher (disambiguation).
Ronacher Theater
The Ronacher, earlier Etablissement Ronacher, is a theater in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt, located between Himmelpfortgasse, Seilerstättee and Schellinggasse. It forms together with the Raimund Theater and the Theater an der Wien the venues of the United Stages of Vienna and via the Vienna Holding to nearly 100 per cent owned by the City of Vienna (Rudolf Klausnitzer holds a minority interest ).

The Vienna City Theatre shortly after the construction
Facade of the Ronacher (2008)
It was initially as Vienna municipal theater from 1871 to 1872 by the architects Ferdinand Fellner the Elder and Ferdinand Fellner the Younger for a private Ltd. of journalist Max Friedlander and theater playwright and conductor Heinrich Laube built. The two with it wanted to establish that a bourgeois theater which - without censorship - should compete against the imperial court theaters. The house was opened on 15 September 1872 with Schiller's Demetrius in a revion of Laube. Twelve years after the opening the house burned on 16 May 1884 down. Since the building is not free on all four sides, a reconstruction as a playhouse was not admitted because of the fire protection regulations valid in the meantime. 1886 Anton Ronacher bought the burnt-out ruins and had in turn by Ferdinand Fellner the Younger (who had meanwhile founded the office Fellner & Helmer) 1887-1888 on it build a concert hall and ballroom. The wall paintings were pictured by Eduard Veith. The main staircase was built with steps from Kaisersteinbruch. The new variety theater was attached a large ballroom and a hotel, in addition, it could already use electric light, contained promenades and a conservatory.
The new Ronacher was no playhouse but equipped with tables and chairs. During the performance was allowed to drink, to eat and to smoke. Due to the poor economic situation, however, Ronacher had to give up the house later. From 1890 appeared more often artists what increasingly attracted suburban population and was frighten away the aristocracy. Later, the program was supplemented by revues, operettas, dance and vocal performances. The house was in the process again and again rebuilt and adapted to the needs of modern vaudeville operation (1901, 1906 and ongoing 1907-1916; always by Ferdinand Fellner the Younger).
After the Anschluss in 1938, the theater by linearization (Aryanisation) passed over from its previous owner Samuel Schöngut, who then died in a concentration camp, to Bernhard Labriola.
After the Second World War was the Ronacher to 1955 alternative stage for the by bombs damaged Burgtheater. Then appeared again vaudeville artists before 1960 Austrian television used the premises for TV productions. After a ten-year vacancy, in 1986 for the first time the performance of an operetta took place, this time Cagliostro in Vienna of Johann Strauss (son). 1987 bought the United Stages of Vienna the house and performed the musical Cats and two operas. An architectural competition resulted in 1987 as a winning project a "deconstructivistic" increase. The project of Coop Himmelblau was however target of fierce public criticism and was in August 1991 sidelined. 2003, 2004 and 2008 was the Ronacher host of the gala ceremony of the Nestroy Theatre Prize.
After several years as a guest house for international productions and festival events the Ronacher was expanded by 46.9 million euros to a musical stage. By mid-2008 stage technology has been modernized and lowered the floor of the stage to two meters, which means the view to the stage has been improved. The increase of the building by architect Günther Domenig was carried out despite massive political and townscape preserving concerns.
The Ronacher currently disposes of 1,001 seats and 40 standing places. The exact number of seats and standing places varies depending on the production.

Article 25 of the United Nation clearly outlines that every human being has the right to an adequate standard of living irrespective of his or her age.
However, the reality in twenty first century Jamaica is that one of the most vulnerable groups in the Jamaican society – the elderly are left to fend for themselves. This most fundamental of human rights is sadly neglected not only at a governmental level but also at the most basic unit of society – the family.
With the increase of urban migration and the demise of the traditional extended family structure in the Caribbean an ever increasing number of our elderly are being displaced. After a life time of servitude to their families, communities and nation it is an indictment upon us collectively as a country that we allow this most blatant of human rights violation to persist.
I challenge the viewer of these images and the individual reading this text to take time out of your busy routine to visit an infirmary or an elderly community member.
Sometimes all they desire is a smile or a word of encouragement or just some to say, “I care”.
How do you feel and think about jewelry? Can you recognize quality pieces and are you aware of the different types of pieces? The tips in the article which follows will help you to navigate the sometimes complex world of purchasing jewelry for any situation. Read the following tips for the guidance you need to understand how to buy, care, and enjoy your jewelry.
Polish your jewelry regularly with a jeweler's polishing cloth. This is a natural way to shine all of your jewelry without relying on abrasives or other harsh chemicals. Use the two-sided cloth to polish your jewelry like you were cleaning glass. Use a two-sided cloth to clean your jewelry, one for polishing, and the other for shining.
Make sure a piece of jewelry is still in fashion before you buy it. It is better to get a gorgeous bauble on sale!
Know how to keep your jewelry beautiful. Each kind of setting, metal, and stone possesses its own particular maintenance need. Cleaning and maintenance techniques that work perfectly on one stone might damage another. If you're not sure of how to properly care for your jewelry, seek advice from a reputable jeweler.
Costume jewelry does require some special care. Often, stones will be glued into their settings, which makes them more prone to falling out than regular jewelry. Do not dip your jewelery in chemicals that may harm them. Use a gentle cloth, like microfiber, to clean it. One wet, then another, dry. This will help your costume jewelry to continue looking great.
This will accent the belt, and will add a lot of visual interest. Think about placing it near your hip or at waist level.
Ask about any insurance a jeweler may offer when you are buying jewelry. Then, you will get peace of mind knowing it can be fixed or replaced if anything happens. Sometimes you can even get replacement coverage for loss or theft.
Follow this article's tips when you wish to purchase jewelry for someone or yourself. You may save money by recognizing an agreement on a great item. Jewelry taste requires nothing more than an trained eye and solid background education about the subject. bellybuttonringsshop.com/

When it concerns sprinkling turf, lots of homeowners simply laid out a lawn sprinkler, turn it on as well as let it run for a while, presuming they are doing right by their lawns.
The truth is lots might be underwatering or overwatering their turf, which can do more injury than great. To help you give the appropriate hydration for your lawn, it’s important to sprinkle your lawn at the right time and also in the correct amount.
Lawn Types as well as Irrigation Timing
Knowing the type of yard you have can dictate just how usually you need to sprinkle your grass.
Cool-season lawns
Types: Bentgrass, bluegrasses, fescues, ryegrasses
Expanding pattern: Grow most actively in the springtime and fall. They go inactive– stop expanding– during the summertime, and afterwards once again in the wintertime.
General sprinkling guidance: They need water just every 3 weeks approximately if there’s been no rain. If you water a lot more often, you could be watering weeds instead of grass.
Warm-season grasses
Kinds: Bahiagrass, Bermudagrass, Buffalograss, Carpetgrass, Centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass, Zoysiagrass
Expanding pattern: Expand most proactively in the summertime warm, go inactive in the chill of the fall or winter season.
General sprinkling recommendations: Some warm-season lawns, including Bermuda, Bahia and also Zoysia, are among the most drought-tolerant turfgrass varieties. Nonetheless, they still call for routine watering to preserve a healthy origin system, especially throughout their midyear high-growth period.
General Lawn Irrigation Advice
Water when the grass requires it.
Most yards require irrigation once every four to 8 days to stay healthy and balanced, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Solution, a department of the U.S. Department of Farming. Actually, the NRCS states irrigating less usually and using even more water when you do irrigate cause deeper rooted plants as well as healthier grass.
Keep an eye on the skies. When it rainfalls for several days, water much less. Successive warm, completely dry days imply water a lot more. If you’re not exactly sure if your grass needs water, the NRCS recommends this examination: If the lawn doesn’t spring back after being stepped on, it’s probably time to irrigate.
Early morning watering is best.
Early watering offers the turf time to soak up the water, sending it down right into the origins and into the grass plants themselves. That plumps up the yard blades with water, enabling them to far better endure the warm of the day. Prevent watering during the middle of the day when water evaporates rapidly. Additionally avoid watering on a windy day, which will run out the water before it can be taken in by the lawn.
Although not just as good as morning, late afternoon likewise can be a good time for sprinkling turf. You should not water in the evening, though, as remaining wetness can cause fungal illness in the grass.
During fall, as part of your normal grass care maintenance, you need to prepare your grass for the coming winter months. Per the NRCS, water with mid-September and then once again in mid-October to store moisture in the dirt.
Amount is important
When watering grass, it is necessary you do not water inadequate or way too much. Like Goldilocks’ porridge, you want it to be “perfect.” Your goal is to dampen the soil deeply. 4 inches is great, 6 inches is better. To do so, you need to use roughly 1 inch of water if you have clay-based soil. If your dirt is sandy, lower this amount to 1/2 inch of water.
Turf Watering for Different Soil Types
Clay
Sand
Loamy
Holds more water
Extremely porous
Moderately permeable
Slow to take in water
Holds water poorly
Retains moisture
Slow to launch water
Allows fast water
Ideal dirt for grass
Key recommendations: To stay clear of drainage, do not water faster than the dirt can take in; water in cycles.
Key suggestions: Water in 1/2-inch increments to fill dirt 6-8 inches deep.
Key guidance: Water as required.
Action Your Water Usage
To aid you figure out when you have actually applied 1 inch of water, put out some straight-sided containers around your lawn. Tuna cans work well. Turn on a timer and also turn on your watering system. Monitor them, as well as when they are loaded with 1 inch of water, switch off the water. Be sure to time the length of time it requires to fill the containers so you’ll know the length of time to leave the lawn sprinkler on each time you are watering grass. See “Maintain Your Grass Healthy And Balanced With a Sprinkler System Audit” for more information.
As part of your yard care regimen, check frequently for indications of overwatering. After sprinkling, stroll along your grass and also seek swimming pools of water. This is overflow– water that surpasses the quantity that can be soaked up, given the volume of water and also the duration of watering. The effects of runoff are bad. Runoff washes away fertilizer as well as newly sown seed, which adversely influences your yard, your budget and the environment.
If you experience drainage within the time frame you established would certainly supply 1 inch of water to your lawn, divide that time in half (say 15 mins rather than 30). Water your grass in 2 equivalent segments, allowing time in between for the turf to take in the water.
Overwatering additionally can dissuade origin growth in yard, which, subsequently, will deteriorate the turf, making it a lot more susceptible to tough environmental problems, condition and everyday usage, such as foot website traffic, children playing and animals running around.
Do not Panic– Your Lawn May Simply Be Dormant
Throughout summer season’s best days, your lawn might handle a tan or brown look, making it look dead. Nevertheless, numerous Northern cool-season yards undergo an inactive duration not just in winter season however also in summer months. Essentially, the lawn is pausing from growing. If your lawn is in an inactive duration, it will certainly begin to green up as temperatures cool off and after getting numerous days of rainfall.
Some varieties of yard are quicker to perk back up than others. Kentucky bluegrass, for instance, takes just three or 4 days to get up.
In case your yard does not revive under these scenarios, it most likely is too damaged to recover as well as will certainly require comprehensive like repair, and possibly change, the existing lawn.
Water Sensing Tools
As part of your grass care, there are a range of devices and also automatic systems to aid you in sprinkling grass.
Among the simplest tools is a long-bladed screwdriver. If you can not insert the screwdriver into your dirt, the dirt is extremely completely dry, as well as the lawn needs to be sprinkled. As a matter of fact, if the screwdriver slides right into the dirt easily, the yard is moisturized and also does not require water.
Fancier– though still economical– substitutes for the screwdriver are digital water sensor devices that can be found at any type of garden shop. They have long spikes that you place into the dirt, and also give you a readout of just how moist the problems are.
At the luxury are below ground sensor systems tied in with automatic sprinklers.
Sorts Of Sprinkler Equipments
Fixed Sprinkler
The fixed lawn sprinkler is straightforward as well as economical. It is a steel or plastic vessel with small holes in it that fits at the tube end. The stress of the water forced with the small openings sprays the yard. The pattern of spray is identified by the pattern of openings, the volume is controlled at the tap. To change the area of protection, you drag it around the grass.
Gear Drive Sprinkler
This sort of durable sprinkler is typically found on golf courses or other huge locations of turf where both huge volume as well as accuracy in watering is needed. Their gear-driven motion typically has several circulation controls that let you readjust the range the water is sprayed, as well as the angle as well as pressure of the spray.
Hose-end spray nozzles
These basic devices are a best seller. Inexpensive as well as versatile, they can be constructed from plastic or brass, and are commonly controlled by a handle that transforms the water on and off. The volume and pattern of spray is regulated by either turning the nozzle or via a dial attached to the nozzle.
Impact lawn sprinkler
With an influence (in some cases called impulse or pulsating) sprinkler, the splashing nozzle is rotated by the pressure of the water from the hose. Made in both plastic as well as brass; the brass effect sprinkler is more pricey however much more long lasting. Some models are affixed to the ground through a spike, others rise to end up being a tripod sprinkler
Control collars restrict the traveling of the head, and also a rocking arm repetitively inserts itself into the stream of water to both drive the head and also create an extra spray stream. The pulsating lawn sprinkler was designed in 1933 as well as marketed under the Rain Bird trademark name.
In-ground water lawn sprinkler
In-ground water as well as garden automatic sprinkler use a collection of sprinkler heads installed at dealt with places in the yard. When correctly preserved, in-ground systems give total as well as reliable coverage. The most common kind is built of a network of interconnected PVC pipelines mounted in trenches dug in the lawn. There are many different kinds of sprinkler heads to serve numerous demands. Some spray 360 levels, some simply 180 or 90 levels for sides as well as edges. Some heads appear and afterwards recede to ground degree. Preferably, your in-ground sprinkler system need to be made with “hydrozone separation” in mind. That is the concept of grouping plants with each other that have the exact same water intake practices. Your yard would certainly get on one area, your parched decorative plants on a 2nd and drought-resistant plants on a third. That way you can adjust your spray time as well as pattern to make sure that all the plants in the area more than happy.
Oscillating lawn sprinkler
At its simplest, the oscillating lawn sprinkler has a steel or plastic bar with openings pierced in it. Water appears the holes as bench rocks backward and forward as well as sprinkles the lawn with a mild spray. You control the size of the area at the resource, by readjusting the water volume at the tap. Great for reasonably small, rectangular lawns.
More-advanced designs such as the turbo oscillating lawn sprinkler allow greater control of the watering pattern as well as spray volume.
Traveling sprinkler.
As its name suggests, traveling sprinklers have wheels that let them move with the lawn, dragging the pipe behind them. Outstanding for irregularly shaped grass.
Other irrigation tools to consider
Circulation control meter
This gadget is installed between the tap and your hose pipe, as well as keep an eye on the quantity of water that undergoes. Some include an automatic shutoff control that stops wasteful overwatering.
Automatic timer
An automatic timer shuts off the water at a marked time. Some versions are hose-end, others are constructed right into in-ground lawn sprinkler to manage the timing of each section of the irrigation system.
Smart irrigation controller
Your phone is now wise. Watches, thermostats and doors, as well. So it’s not a surprise that lawn sprinkler controllers have climbed onto the smart bandwagon. Rather than relying upon a repaired timer, they make use of either Wi-fi or GSM cellular connection to get plant information as well as weather forecasts.
A smart controller will certainly sprinkle lawn according to environmental conditions such as evapotranspiration (water consumed by lawn) price and amount of soil moisture. Furthermore, make certain the system includes a shut-off button that cuts off the sprinklers while it’s raining.
To maintain them functioning effectively, automatic irrigation systems ought to be checked and investigated every a couple of years by a professional to guarantee it’s functioning properly as well as supplying the correct amount of water to your grass.
Basic Yard Treatment Makes Watering Easier
Good yard treatment techniques generate a healthy and balanced lawn which requires less water, and also retains what you give it.
Appropriate mowing height: Maintaining lawn to the appropriate mowing elevation for your grass types will certainly advertise deep origins and drought-resistant lawns. Taller lawn also helps reduce evaporation. Furthermore, recently reduced grass blades shed water quickly.
Leave the clippings: To assist preserve moisture in your lawn, do not get rid of yard trimmings after trimming the lawn. These act as a natural mulch that serves two purposes. Initially, mulch is a natural plant food, returning valuable nutrients to the turf. Second, throughout the period it considers the turf trimmings to break down and return to the soil, it will certainly serve as an obstacle that slows dissipation, avoiding the origins from drying also quick.
Feed when asked for: Also, as part of your yard care routine, effectively fertilizing grass can promote deep roots as well as drought tolerance.
Grass ranges will vary in their fertilizer needs, but as a whole:
Cool-season lawns: Fertilize at least two times, in spring and also loss.
Warm-season lawns: Fertilize every 4-8 weeks during the energetic midyear expanding period.
Nonetheless, do not use plant food when the yard is completely dry since it will additionally draw dampness from the grass.
Freshen: To assist lawns take a breath as well as drink in water as well as nutrients, freshen it– get rid of cores of dirt– on a regular basis every year. For cool-season grasses, the most effective time to freshen remains in the loss or springtime. For warm-season yards, the best time is in early summertime.
If essential, dethatch: Over time, your yard will certainly collect little bits and items of lawn as well as leaf particles into an interwoven mass called thatch, which can build up on your grass. A particular amount of thatch is both unpreventable and also helpful for lawns. It provides a questionable room for helpful pests, holds wetness and also is the place where trimmings and also various other organic material break down and return important nutrients to the dirt.
Nonetheless, if it gathers and also does not appear to be breaking down, it can create an obstacle, protecting against water and air from getting to the origin system. When that happens, it should be gotten rid of to help advertise a healthy and balanced lawn.
When doing so, Nashville Landscaping recommends limiting thatch removal to very early springtime or fall. If you power rake lawns in late spring or summer, they will need too much irrigation to remain alive.
Appropriately watering grass is among the important parts in keeping a healthy and balanced lawn. By executing a good watering as well as yard treatment routine, you’ll have a beautiful grass you can appreciate year-round.

I read an interesting article on the internets this weekend written by The History Girl. She did a piece on an archaeological excavation of an historic smokehouse in Middletown Township, New Jersey. It is only about 15 miles from me on The King’s Highway. I don’t think the King of England himself ever made it over when New Jersey was a colony, but they sure named plenty of highways after him.
“According to The History Girl,” I told Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring, “This smokehouse is built into the side of a hill on the grounds of the Taylor-Butler Orchard Home. I think I’m calling a mission to visit the site.”
The next morning, Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring and I woke up Little Texas Aggie Bear very early. Of course, it was difficult to wake him up, as it was with all bears. It’s in their nature.
“Get up!” Aggie Ring yelled at the little bear. “We’ve got magic to do. I’ll make a thermos of hot tea!”
Decades of serving in the Regular Army taught Aggie Ring to always take an inventory of his equipment before heading out on a dangerous mission. Aggie Ring called out the checklist for me.
“Let’s see…” said Aggie Ring. “I’ll call out the name of the equipment and you verify.”
“Official looking photographer’s safety vest to throw off the police if we have to break and enter an historic site?”
“Check!” I replied.
“Little Aggie Bear to distract law enforcement or county employees if the vest doesn’t work.”
“Check”
“Compass?”
“Check”
“Camera tripod?”
“Check”
“Toilet paper?”
“Check”
“Collapsable light reflector?”
“Check”
“Camera tripod?”
“Check”
“Bottled water”
“Check”
“Camera, extra batteries, and lenses appropriate for the mission?”
“Check”
Aggie Ring turned to me and announced. “I think we’re good. Time to hit the beach.”
We drove the 25 km up the Garden State Parkway to the historic site. Luckily, the historic home was closed on Mondays and there was no one there to interfere with Aggie Ring’s evil plan. Texas Aggie Ring and I sent Little Texas Aggie Bear on a one-bear patrol ahead of us to make sure the area of interest was secure and to set up perimeter security.
“Don’t crap in the woods!” Aggie Ring yelled at Little Texas Aggie Bear as he was bear crawling towards the general location of the historical smokehouse. The History Girl said in her article that it was “North” of the homestead. That compass on the iPhone came in handy.
After about 10 minutes, Aggie Ring and I didn’t hear any gunfire so we decided it was safe to proceed. Shortly after we entered the heavily wooded area, I mentioned to Aggie Ring, “This reminds me of parts of Central Texas. It’s a damn good thing I’m one of those lucky people not allergic to Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy, Late at night while you're sleepin' poison Ivy comes a'creepin'
Arou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ound”
Aggie Ring and I continued on a North heading being careful not to step on any twigs or branches so as not to give our position away to the enemy.
Eventually, we heard, “Psssst.” It was Little Texas Aggie Bear. He had located the historic homestead smokehouse built into the side of a small hill. “I don’t think anyone is around or saw us.” he whispered.
For an historic smokehouse, it was fairly impressive. According to The History Girl, it was built here into a small hillside circa 1850. There aren’t many of those left these days. The County Historical Association recently received a grant from the 1772 Foundation and the New Jersey Historic Trust to restore the smokehouse to its former smokin’ glory.
A few days earlier, Dr. Richard Velt, a Professor of Anthropology who is also the Chair of the Department of History at nearby Monmouth University conducted some test digs to verify that the foundation of the smokehouse was stable. Texas Aggie Ring looked up Dr. Velt on the internets. “Oh bother.” sighed Texas Aggie Ring. “He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. He probably eats Philly scrapple. Still, I suppose that’s better than Trenton, NJ pork roll.”
According to the article on the internets, the foundation is stable and the Dr. Velt also discovered that there was once an underground ice house nearby where they’d store ice cut into blocks from the nearby river to have during the miserable hot summer months to make mint juleps. “Underground ice house?” asked Texas Aggie Ring. “That would be a most excellent location for my Secret Underground Lair which I could use to takeover the world.”
“Where’s the Stargate?” asked Little Texas Aggie Bear.
“Silly bear.” I chided him. “The Stargate is on the other side of the homestead. You can’t have smoke from a smokehouse blowing into a Stargate and onto another planet. That’s just plain rude and one doesn’t want uninvited aliens coming back through the Stargate expecting to be fed.”
Texas Aggie Ring and I put our two Texas A&M Engineering degrees to work and gave the historic smokehouse a good looking over. We took a sensible 100+ photos to document our dangerous mission. The structure itself appeared to be in fairly good shape considering that it most likely hasn’t been used in well over a century.
Aggie Ring said to me. “Well, the lower half of the smokehouse below the roofline appears to be in fine condition. The bricks are going to need to be repointed, of course. The roof is going to need to be totally replaced and a brickmason is going to have to conduct some serious repair along the top of the structure.”
I took a few photos of Little Texas Aggie Bear and Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring sitting upon the wall of the smokehouse strictly for historical purposes. As usual, Aggie Ring taunted the little bear by telling him, “You do know it is still legal to hunt bear in New Jersey during the hunting season. It is quite possible that besides beef and pork, the family who once owned this homestead smoked bear meat.”
Little Texas Aggie Bear let out a yelp and ran towards the car. I’ve never seen a bear so small move so quickly.

Ronacher
This article deals with the Ronacher theater in Vienna. For other uses, see Ronacher (disambiguation).
Ronacher Theater
The Ronacher, earlier Etablissement Ronacher, is a theater in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt, located between Himmelpfortgasse, Seilerstättee and Schellinggasse. It forms together with the Raimund Theater and the Theater an der Wien the venues of the United Stages of Vienna and via the Vienna Holding to nearly 100 per cent owned by the City of Vienna (Rudolf Klausnitzer holds a minority interest ).
History
(Pictures can be seen by clicking on the link at the end of the page!)
The Vienna City Theatre shortly after the construction
Facade of the Ronacher (2008)
It was initially as Vienna municipal theater from 1871 to 1872 by the architects Ferdinand Fellner the Elder and Ferdinand Fellner the Younger for a private Ltd. of journalist Max Friedlander and theater playwright and conductor Heinrich Laube built. The two with it wanted to establish that a bourgeois theater which - without censorship - should compete against the imperial court theaters. The house was opened on 15 September 1872 with Schiller's Demetrius in a revion of Laube. Twelve years after the opening the house burned on 16 May 1884 down. Since the building is not free on all four sides, a reconstruction as a playhouse was not admitted because of the fire protection regulations valid in the meantime. 1886 Anton Ronacher bought the burnt-out ruins and had in turn by Ferdinand Fellner the Younger (who had meanwhile founded the office Fellner & Helmer) 1887-1888 on it build a concert hall and ballroom. The wall paintings were pictured by Eduard Veith. The main staircase was built with steps from Kaisersteinbruch. The new variety theater was attached a large ballroom and a hotel, in addition, it could already use electric light, contained promenades and a conservatory.
The new Ronacher was no playhouse but equipped with tables and chairs. During the performance was allowed to drink, to eat and to smoke. Due to the poor economic situation, however, Ronacher had to give up the house later. From 1890 appeared more often artists what increasingly attracted suburban population and was frighten away the aristocracy. Later, the program was supplemented by revues, operettas, dance and vocal performances. The house was in the process again and again rebuilt and adapted to the needs of modern vaudeville operation (1901, 1906 and ongoing 1907-1916; always by Ferdinand Fellner the Younger).
After the Anschluss in 1938, the theater by linearization (Aryanisation) passed over from its previous owner Samuel Schöngut, who then died in a concentration camp, to Bernhard Labriola.
After the Second World War was the Ronacher to 1955 alternative stage for the by bombs damaged Burgtheater. Then appeared again vaudeville artists before 1960 Austrian television used the premises for TV productions. After a ten-year vacancy, in 1986 for the first time the performance of an operetta took place, this time Cagliostro in Vienna of Johann Strauss (son). 1987 bought the United Stages of Vienna the house and performed the musical Cats and two operas. An architectural competition resulted in 1987 as a winning project a "deconstructivistic" increase. The project of Coop Himmelblau was however target of fierce public criticism and was in August 1991 sidelined. 2003, 2004 and 2008 was the Ronacher host of the gala ceremony of the Nestroy Theatre Prize.
After several years as a guest house for international productions and festival events the Ronacher was expanded by 46.9 million euros to a musical stage. By mid-2008 stage technology has been modernized and lowered the floor of the stage to two meters, which means the view to the stage has been improved. The increase of the building by architect Günther Domenig was carried out despite massive political and townscape preserving concerns.
The Ronacher currently disposes of 1,001 seats and 40 standing places. The exact number of seats and standing places varies depending on the production.

Miletus Archaeological Site
Miletus (/maɪˈliːtəs/; Ancient Greek: Μί̄λητος Mīlētos; Hittite transcription Millawanda or Milawata (exonyms); Latin: Miletus; Turkish: Milet) was an ancient Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia, near the mouth of the Maeander River in ancient Caria.[3][4][5] Its ruins are located near the modern village of Balat in Aydın Province, Turkey. Before the Persian invasion in the middle of the 6th century BC, Miletus was considered the greatest and wealthiest of Greek cities.[6][7] In other sources however it is mentioned that the city was much more modest up until the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), when, for example, the city state of Samos on the island of Samos opposite Miletus was considered a larger and more important city and harbor at the time. Miletus' greatest wealth and splendor was reached during the Hellenistic era (323–30 BC) and later Roman times.
Evidence of first settlement at the site has been made inaccessible by the rise of sea level and deposition of sediments from the Maeander. The first available evidence is of the Neolithic. In the early and middle Bronze age the settlement came under Minoan influence. Legend has it that an influx of Cretans occurred displacing the indigenous Leleges. The site was renamed Miletus after a place in Crete.
The Late Bronze Age, 13th century BC, saw the arrival of Luwian language speakers from south central Anatolia calling themselves the Carians. Later in that century other Greeks arrived. The city at that time rebelled against the Hittite Empire. After the fall of that empire the city was destroyed in the 12th century BC and starting about 1000 BC was resettled extensively by the Ionian Greeks. Legend offers an Ionian foundation event sponsored by a founder named Neleus from the Peloponnesus.
The Greek Dark Ages were a time of Ionian settlement and consolidation in an alliance called the Ionian League. The Archaic Period of Greece began with a sudden and brilliant flash of art and philosophy on the coast of Anatolia. In the 6th century BC, Miletus was the site of origin of the Greek philosophical (and scientific) tradition, when Thales, followed by Anaximander and Anaximenes (known collectively, to modern scholars, as the Milesian School) began to speculate about the material constitution of the world, and to propose speculative naturalistic (as opposed to traditional, supernatural) explanations for various natural phenomena.
Miletus is the birthplace of the Hagia Sophia's architect (and inventor of the flying buttress) Isidore of Miletus and Thales, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher (and one of the Seven Sages of Greece) in c. 624 BC

As described in a 1931 Brooklyn Daily Eagle article:
A series of co-operative shops right in your own home! That's one of the attractive features of Madison Gardens, 2425 Kings Highway (E. 24th St. to Bedford Ave.). These shops are for the use of tenants, and they are not visible from the street. But what an accommodation to the fortunate residents of the Gardens. These shops are connected with the different apartments by the interhouse telephone, so service can be practically immediate.
Another unique feature of this apartment house is the parcel receiving room, where the woman who has been out all afternoon can be sure of finding her purchases safe and sound on her arrival home.
In addition, this is a genuine gardent [sic] apartment, with garden court at the front, landscaped and shrubbed and 100 by 65 feet in size. Transit factilities [sic] are the finest, with the Kings Highway station of the B. M. T. Brighton line a short distance away, trolleys and buses operating almost at the door.
The apartments are in 2½, 3 and 4 rooms with bath, and 5 rooms and 2 baths. Sunlight and air are permanent features, since the building is completely detached on all sides. The kitchens have every built-in feature that would be looked for in this type of house, and in addition an electric clock in the dining alcove. Best of all, from the tenants' point of view, is the fact that no charge is made for the electric refrigeration. Bathrooms are in colored tile, with hampers, Venetian mirrored medicine cabinets, and in the 5-room apartments stall showers.

Introduction
Hell, in many religious beliefs and traditions, is a place or state of torment and punishment in an afterlife. Religions with a linear divine history often depict hells as eternal destinations.
Hell
Place of God's final retributive punishment. Scripture progressively develops this destiny of the wicked: the Old Testament outlines the framework, while the New Testament elaborates on it. Jesus, however, is most responsible for defining hell.
4-HOUR INTERVIEWS IN HELL
According to a book Title: 4-HOUR INTERVIEWS IN HELL written by 'Yemi Bankole in it's new edition from Chapter 6. Pages 38-44 with a permission granted to use this book as a reference point.
Experience has definitely shown that some reasons for holding a belief are much more likely to be justified by event than others. It might naturally be supposed, for instance, that the best of all reasons for accompanying the belief. By crucial test of experiment, the rich man in the Book of St. Luke attests to the existence of hell. The Book of Revelation of the Holy Bible has said more and its assertion being an effective enough means of catching the picture of hell. Friends, hell is real, though some on hearing this may forthwith burst into a violent fit of laughter. But the Bible and the human experience similar to mine have considerably built a consistently satisfactory foundation for this reality.
