This 308 unit complex is on what was once the Pacific Heights Shopping Center- a shopping center housing Fox Theater (single screen), Thrifty, a hardware store, a 5 and dime and a Shell Station. The struggling shopping center was scrapped in favor of the apartment complex. But the complex was built poorly and developed mold. The complex was closed a handful of years ago and a plan to build a larger (500+ unit) complex. Much debate surrounded the plans which did not include enough parking spaces to even fit city standards and after several years, any plans to demolish and rebuild seem to have stalled.
The complex sits completely vacant and in total disrepair. Windows are broken, front doors are open and in the back of the complex, the balconies are falling off. There appear to be squatters, or there were at one time.
The architectural ethnographic complex Etura is situated at the distance of 8 km south of the town of Gabrovo in the immediate proximity of the Etara quarter and past the Sivek River (at the distance of 3 km from the road-fork to Shipka). The complex disposes an area of 60 decares an is unique for south-eastern Europe.
It is an open-air museum where is reproduced the authentic life of a typical craftsmanship settlement from the period of Bulgarian Revival. The way Bulgarian people lived 150 years ago can be perceived and felt here. One can hear the rattle of wheels and mills moved by water, the whiz of the mills for woollen cloths and for flour. Metal ornaments, pottery articles, copper utensils, braids, hot buns and whatever else come out from the skillful hands of the masters there.
The little cobblestone streets, the stone cheshmi (drinking-fountains), the gas lanterns, Sakov`s house, the house with the tavern, the clock tower and a lot of other authentic details complete the whole picture.
There is a regular bus line running from town of Gabrovo to Etara.
This mare and foal were gathered Jan. 4, 2013 and were in temporary holding until Jan. 13. BLM personnel and contractor crew had taken a special interest in this young foal and nicknamed him Cheddar because of his color. The pair were being prepared for loading for transport to Palomino Valley Adoption Center when the mare slipped and fell in the alleyway and hit her head on a gate, resulting in a broken neck. Recent heavy snowfall and the lack of activity in the alleyways contributed to icy conditions while loading. Transport to PVC in Semi-tractor trailers has not been safe until Jan. 13. Corrective action of spreading dirt in the alleyways allowed the rest of the wild horses to be loaded without incident. This young foal was transported to the Northern Nevada Correctional Center in Carson City where he will receive special care until he is ready for adoption.
The Toronto Islands, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The Toronto Islands (formerly "Aiionwatha" and "Hiawatha's Island")—are a chain of 15 small islands in Lake Ontario, south of mainland Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Comprising the only group of islands in the western part of Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands are located just offshore from the city's downtown area, provide shelter for Toronto Harbour, and separate Toronto from the rest of Lake Ontario. The islands are home to the Toronto Island Park, the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, several private yacht clubs, a public marina, Centreville Amusement Park, a year round residential neighbourhood, and several public beaches. The island community is the largest urban car-free community in North America. All access to the Islands is by water, by City of Toronto ferries operating all year from Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at the foot of Bay Street or privately operated water taxis during the months of May to September.
The Toronto Islands are a popular tourist and recreational destination. Bicycles are accommodated on the ferries at no charge and can be rented at Centre Island. Canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and stand up paddle boards are also available for rental from May to September. A disc golf course exists on the island. The main beach is along the south shore of Centre Island and part of the beach on the west shore of Centre at Hanlans Point is clothing-optional. There is ample parkland suitable for picnicking, several playgrounds, water play areas and several gardens. During the winter months people access the lagoons and Toronto Harbour from the islands for ice skating when conditions permit.

PROVIDENT FINANCIAL MOVE TO CITY CENTRE AS PART OF £50M SCHEME
The proposed £50m McAleer & Rushe office, hotel and leisure scheme in Bradford has been given the go-ahead after gaining planning, and the developers celebrated by announcing that Provident Financial will be moving their headquarters to the new city centre site.
The Southgate scheme will bring 117,000 sq ft premium office space - occupied by the Bradford-based financial services provider - and a 200-bed Jury’s Inn hotel and restaurant to Bradford city centre.
Developers, McAleer & Rushe, named Northern Ireland Property Developer of the Year, plan to transform the 1-acre city centre site which sits on the edge of the city’s unique £750m Learning Quarter development.
Following the decision by the planning authority at Bradford Metropolitan District Council, work is now expected to commence on site immediately after the sign off by central government.
Stephen Davey, from McAleer & Rushe, said: “We’re delighted that permission has been granted. We are committed to delivering in Bradford, as part of the high-profile regeneration taking place in the city.”
Maud Marshall, Chief Executive of Bradford Centre Regeneration, said: “This is a further boost for the city and yet more evidence that the private sector continues to realise the potential we have here in Bradford.
“The development is a building block in a wider masterplan, which will deliver a vibrant, modern city centre for Bradford.”
The facility formerly known as Titan Stadium has been transformed into the Oshkosh Sports Complex.

The Detroit News Complex was constructed for the Detroit News, one of the city's leading newspapers, founded in 1873 by James E. Scripps, and occupied by the News from its opening in 191 7 until October, 2014. The publisher of the paper at the time of its construction was George G. Booth, whose vision of the paper's role and importance is reflected in the building. The News Building is also significant as a product of Detroit architect Albert Kahn's industrial and office architecture designed for a highly visible downtown setting. The News Building's exterior sculpture and relief work is a remarkable display of sculptural and decorative art that contributes strongly to its overall distinction and cultural significance. The building is also historically important for housing radio station WWJ, Michigan's first commercial radio station, which broadcast during its early years beginning in 1920 from the Detroit News Building. The Detroit News complex meets national register criterion A for its contributions to the newspaper industry's development in Detroit and the early history of commercial radio in Detroit, Michigan, and the United States. The Detroit News complex also meets national register criterion C for its 1915-24 buildings and structures designed by Detroit architect Albert Kahn.

The Bacardi Complex in was constructed in 1963 and served as the first United States headquarters for the Bacardi corporation, a Cuban company notable for its rum. The Bacardi complex consists of two prominent buildings, the main tower and the Bacardi Imports Administration Annex building that was completed in 1973. The buildings are iconic examples of mid-century modern International-style architecture, notable for their uses of steel and glass, each featuring imaginative cantilevered overhangs as the bulk of the building. They are each emblazoned with artistic products, with the tower decorated with over 28,000 azulejo tiles painted and assembled by Brazilian artist Francisco Brennand. The Annex building’s four walls are entirely defined by stained-glass windows manufactured by French artists Gabriel and Jacques Loire based upon a painting by German artist Johannes Dietz. The buildings are notable for the way they embrace international influences within architecture and art to create visually impressive works.
Since the establishment of the company in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba, the business has successfully expanded the branding, production, and headquarter sites outside of Cuba. Bacardi’s buildings in Miami have aimed to create and promote a visual identity for the corporation, one which is simultaneously past and forward-looking, with an appreciation of the natural and the man-made. Bacardi’s buildings are attempts to express concepts larger than mere business, combining art and architecture to tell a larger story.

Description of work: The Circus was the large, oval track where the chariot races took place. A third of a mile long and 150 yards wide, the Circus Maximus allegedly held 250, 000 people. Inside its four-story facade, the Circus was a maze of shops, rooms, stairways, and arcades. The building is one of the most ancient in Rome, in fact it dates back just to the years following the birth of the city, in the course of the centuries it was enlarged more and more, till it achieved the present dimensions.

Did You Know?
Males sing complex songs on wintering grounds in Hawaii, that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard 20 miles (30 km) away!
In the Pacific, humpbacks migrate seasonally from Alaska to Hawaii--they can complete the 3,000-mile (4,830 km) trip in as few as 36 days!
Species Description:
Weight:25-40 tons (50,000-80,000 pounds; 22,000-36,000 kg);
newborns weigh about 1 ton (2,000 pounds; 900 kg)
Length:Up to 60 feet (18 m), with females larger than males;
newborns are about 15 feet (4.5 m) long
Appearance: Primarily dark grey, with some areas of white
Lifespan:About 50 years
Diet:Tiny crustaceans (mostly krill), plankton, and small fish; they can consume up to 3,000 pounds (1360 kg) of food per day
Behavior:Breaching (jumping out of the water), or slapping the surface
Humpback whales are well known for their long pectoral fins, which can be up to 15 feet (4.6 m) in length. Their scientific name, Megaptera novaeangliae, means "big-winged New Englander" as the New England population was the one best known to Europeans. These long fins give them increased maneuverability; they can be used to slow down or even go backwards.
Similar to all baleen whales, adult females are larger than adult males, reaching lengths of up to 60 feet (18 m). Their body coloration is primarily dark grey, but individuals have a variable amount of white on their pectoral fins and belly. This variation is so distinctive that the pigmentation pattern on the undersides of their "flukes" is used to identify individual whales, similar to a human fingerprint.
Humpback whales are the favorite of whale watchers, as they frequently perform aerial displays, such as breaching (jumping out of the water), or slapping the surface with their pectoral fins, tails, or heads.
In the summer, humpbacks are found in high latitude feeding grounds, such as the Gulf of Maine in the Atlantic and Gulf of Alaska in the Pacific. In the winter, they migrate to calving grounds in subtropical or tropical waters, such as the Dominican Republic in the Atlantic and the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific. The Arabian Sea humpback does not migrate, remaining in tropical waters all year.
Humpback whales travel great distances during their seasonal migration, the farthest migration of any mammal. The longest recorded migration was 5,160 miles (8,300 km); seven animals, including a calf, completed this trek from Costa Rica to Antarctica. One of the more closely studied routes is between Alaska and Hawaii, where humpbacks have been observed making the 3,000-mile (4,830 km) trip in as few as 36 days.
During the summer months, humpbacks spend the majority of their time feeding and building up fat stores (blubber) that they will live off of during the winter. Humpbacks filter feed on tiny crustaceans (mostly krill), plankton, and small fish and can consume up to 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg) of food per day. Several hunting methods involve using air bubbles to herd, corral, or disorient fish. One highly complex variant, called "bubble netting" is unique to humpbacks. This technique is often performed in groups with defined roles for distracting, scaring, and herding before whales lunge at prey corralled near the surface.
In their wintering grounds, humpback whales congregate and engage in mating activities. Humpbacks are generally polygynous "having multiple female mates" with males exhibiting competitive behavior on wintering grounds. Aggressive and antagonistic behaviors include chasing, vocal and bubble displays, horizontal tail thrashing, and rear body thrashing. Males within these groups also make physical contact, striking or surfacing on top of one another. These bouts can cause injuries ranging from bloody scrapes to, in one recorded instance, death. Also on wintering grounds, males sing complex songs that can last up to 20 minutes and be heard 20 miles (30 km) away. A male may sing for hours, repeating the song several times. All males in a population sing the same song, but that song continually evolves over time. Humpback whale singing has been studied for decades, but scientists still understand very little about its function.
Gestation lasts for about 11 months. Newborns are 13-16 feet (4-5 m) long and grow quickly from the highly nutritious milk of their mothers. Weaning occurs between 6-10 months after birth. Mothers are protective and affectionate towards their calves, swimming close and frequently touching them with their flippers. Males do not provide parental support for calves. Breeding usually occurs once every two years, but sometimes occurs twice in a three-year span.
Habitat
During migration, humpbacks stay near the surface of the ocean.
While feeding and calving, humpbacks prefer shallow waters. During calving, humpbacks are usually found in the warmest waters available at that latitude. Calving grounds are commonly near offshore reef systems, islands, or continental shores.
Humpback feeding grounds are in cold, productive coastal waters.
Distribution
Humpback whales live in all major oceans from the equator to sub-polar latitudes.
In the North Pacific, there are at least three separate populations:
California/Oregon/Washington stock that winters in coastal Central America and Mexico and migrates to areas ranging from the coast of California to southern British Columbia in summer/fall;
Central North Pacific stock that winters in the Hawaiian Islands and migrates to northern British Columbia/ Southeast Alaska and Prince William Sound west to Kodiak; and Western North Pacific stock that winters near Japan and probably migrates to waters west of the Kodiak Archipelago (the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands) in summer/fall. There is some mixing between these populations, though they are still considered distinct stocks.
Threats
Humpback whales face a series of threats including:
entanglement in fishing gear
Whale watch harassment
Habitat impacts
Harvest
Humpbacks can become entangled in fishing gear, either swimming off with the gear or becoming anchored. We have observed incidental "take" of humpback whales in the California/ Oregon swordfish and thresher shark drift gillnet fishery. Potential entanglement from gear from several fisheries can occur on their long migration from Hawaii to Alaska. Humpbacks in Hawaii have been observed entangled in long line gear, crab pots, and other non-fishery-related lines.
Inadvertent ship strikes can injure or kill humpbacks. Whale watching vessels may stress or even strike whales. The central North Pacific stock is the focus of a whale-watching industry on their wintering grounds in the Hawaiian Islands. The feeding aggregation in southeast Alaska is also the focus of a developing whale-watching industry that may impact whales in localized areas.
Shipping channels, fisheries, and aquaculture may occupy or destroy humpback whale aggregation areas. Recreational use of marine areas, including resort development and increased boat traffic, may displace whales that would normally use that area. In Hawaii, acoustic impacts from vessel operation, oceanographic research using active sonar, and military operations are also of increasing concern.
