This interior view of the Variable Density Tunnel (VDT) at the NACA's Langley Laboratory, taken shortly after it opened in 1922, looks downstream. Note the wooden construction, the propeller in the background and the observation windows. These windows aligned with small portholes in the pressure shell.

St. Helens was established as a river port on the Columbia River in the 1840s. In 1853, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company tried to make the city their only stop on the Columbia River.[7] Portland's merchants boycotted this effort, and the San Francisco steamship Peytona helped break the impasse.[7]
St. Helens was incorporated as a city in 1889.[8]
The Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through and camped in the area that is now St. Helens on the night of November 5, 1805 while on their way to the Pacific Ocean. While here the party encountered Native Americans and Clark observed "low rockey clifts".[9]

Our capital Male' is the city which has highest population density. Hence there is an over population of bikes as well.
"Known as “Vanadu,” Clarke Bedford’s peculiar art house is filled with a large collection of antiques, junk, and historical objects. Throughout the high-density cluster of sculptures and mosaics you’ll find a horned wooden owl, a black and white striped cone, a skull, a statue of John Locke, a German language globe stuffed inside a rusted horn, and a woman’s face covered in glass and colored fragments of junk.
Clarke Bedford also owns four fully functional art cars, made of everything from car parts to used washing machine pieces and moose antlers, which are typically placed on the curbside of the art house. The most famous car, the traveling Vanadu Ford, features vases and horns on the sides and graveyard spires on the roof, and it even has its own Facebook account. When he was working as a conservator for the Hirshhorn Museum, Bedford would drive one of the elaborate silver cars on his daily commute to work, and to this day the art cars remain one of Bedford’s major sources of transportation.
Clarke Bedford’s named his art car and house “Vanadu” to honor the poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, whose famous “Kubla Khan” poem emerged from an opium-induced dream about the ancient Chinese city of Xanadu, once under the rule of Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. In addition to “Vanadu,” Bedford also calls his assemblage of recycled materials the Assemblage Cottage, pronounced with a French accent as “As-sem-blage Co-ttage.”"

These high rises were all over Shanghai and Beijing. From talking to people, I believe that most of these buildings have no elevators, central heating or AC. Laundry is done by hand in the sink, and hung to air dry. A scene from Blade Runner?

Java’s population density of 2,070 people per square mile is more than five times New York State’s population density of 382.4 people per square mile. New Jersey, the state with the highest population density in the U.S., has 886 people per square mile, less than half that of Java.

Dedicated in July 2004 the Garden of Peace is a memorial commemorating victims of homicide including those murdered by terrorists on September 11, 2001. It is a living reminder of the impact of violence and a visual testament to the need for eliminating terror and violence. The Garden is a symbol of hope for peace and renewal in our lives, our community, and the world.
The central feature of the memorial is a dry streambed containing smooth river stones engraved with the names of victims of homicide. The streambed begins with a circular black granite stone called "Tragic Density" that symbolizes the enormous weight of sadness and grief. The streambed moves through the Garden and culminates with a trickle of water into a pool out of which rises "Ibis Ascending", a skyward sculpture representing hope.
Sadly the Garden of Peace appears to be Boston's least known memorial. It took us a really long time to find it - none of the people that we asked had heard of it. The Boston police officer we asked directed us instead to the 9/11 Peace Garden in the Boston Public Gardens. Despite being in downtown Boston the Garden of Peace is off the beaten tourist trails. It is lost within a narrow maze of twisting streets hidden between government office buildings. A few of the streets were sealed off because of construction. Unlike other Boston tourist attractions there are no signs pointing the way, no cops and no tourists. On the weekday evening that we visited the area was poorly lit and the Garden of Peace was home to homeless people. I imagine the area is fairly safe on a weekday with people working in the adjacent buildings, but I wouldn't loitter here in the evening or during the weekend.
If you do decide to visit look for a courtyard adjacent to the plaza of the 100 Cambridge Street Building (formerly the Saltonstall State Office Building) and bring friends.
