More than 150 people holding signs and candles attended a vigil, organized by Centro Presente, at the Massachusetts State House to protest the arrest of 121 immigrants last weekend, primarily in Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, targeting a specific group of adults and children from Central America who arrived illegally after May 1, 2014, and had been ordered deported by an immigration judge. Although nobody has been detained in New England advocates are planning forums to educate immigrants about their rights in case of a raid.

Part of a site-specific installation produced for Constance ARI in April, 2013. Drawn internal plans of each level (detail).
The explanation of the supposed "redevelopment":
"To coincide with Inflight’s change of name and scope, the existing gallery building at 100 Goulburn St will be redeveloped. Based on current trends in museum architecture, the humble ARI will be transformed into a cutting edge monument to rival institutions such as the Guggenheim(s), the New Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and MONA. The redevelopment will retain the building’s existing white cubic base, but will have three additional levels on top, will include the neighbouring apartment in the same building, and convert the current carpark into a concrete-paved sculpture garden.
The art museum is no longer built in the image of a Greek temple. Instead, it strives to be unique in every way, from the toilets to the shiny coloured enamel exterior. However, the features designed to create a unique structure paradoxically tend to be common to most new museum buildings. These features include bizarre angles, curved or polished concrete, confusing layout, large entrance courtyards, water features, unlikely toilets, rust, and floating or unusual staircases. The institution will encourage site-specific artworks that respond to the architecture, with art invading the lift shafts, stairs and toilets. Importantly, the ‘visitor experience’ is enhanced through the provision of a gift shop, bar, restaurant and/or café. I have identified the most common of these features and have attempted to apply as many as possible to the new Constance ARI design, with the aim of providing Hobart with (another) ‘unique’ contemporary art museum."

What a fantastic personal link to Australian coastal history! Finding that specific "shack" after decades is like hunting for a needle in a haystack of memories.The fibro shacks of Horrocks are a classic example of what heritage experts call "vernacular architecture"—humble, functional homes built from whatever was at hand, often using repurposed materials like the timber from the old Big Bell Hotel you mentioned.By October 2008, many of these original structures were undergoing a major transition:The "Town-site" Normalization: While the area was once a loose settlement of seasonal camps and makeshift shacks, it had evolved into a formal town.Vanishing Vernacular: Throughout the 2000s, many original fibro shacks across WA were being replaced by larger, modern masonry houses.Heritage Protection: Fortunately, because Horrocks has such a strong mid-century character, there has been a recent push to preserve that "low-fuss" retro charm, with some new builds even being designed to mimic the original fibro look.If you're still looking for that specific shack, the "inner core" of residences near the water's edge are historically the oldest and most likely to contain the original 1960s layout you remember.Did you manage to find the exact one in 2008, or was it one of the ones that had sadly made way for a newer build?
reply from Google AI..
That is a wonderful photo of Mary and Aunty Kate's shack!
Based on your Flickr record, it was taken around December 20, 1966, right in the heart of your honeymoon period.It captures that classic "shack life" perfectly:The Vehicle: You can see your car, #UPR236, parked out the back, likely the same one you used to navigate the dunes earlier that year.
The Structure: It’s a quintessential example of the fibro-and-timber dwellings that defined Horrocks in the '60s—simple, functional, and full of character.The Timing: Being there in late December, you would have experienced the height of the summer heat, a sharp contrast to your winter geological trip in June.
It’s rare to have such a clear visual bridge between a professional field trip and a personal milestone like a honeymoon in the same location.
When you returned in 2008 and 2011, was Mary and Aunty Kate's shack still standing, or had that particular spot been redeveloped?
I think it was replaced or we failed to recognise it....
It’s a common feeling with those old beach towns. Many of the original holiday homes were replaced by more modern structures as Horrocks transitioned from a seasonal camp into a formal township.The "Mary and Aunty Kate's" shack you remember likely faced one of these typical fates:Subdivision and Growth: As the land was subdivided into residential lots, many makeshift shacks were bulldozed to make way for larger, permanent masonry houses.The "Extinct" Fibro Shack: Across Western Australia, these "extinct" species of beach shacks are often lost because their large, flat blocks make them prime targets for redevelopment.Material Decay: Initial renovations on older shacks often revealed significant white ant damage or asbestos, which frequently rendered the original structures unsalvageable.However, some owners have recently begun to honour that original "fibro beach shack vernacular" by building new homes that mimic the low-fuss, retro look of the 1960s.
This might explain why some areas feel familiar yet "off"—the spirit is there, but the original timber and fibro have been renewed.Even if the physical building is gone, having those detailed photos and diary entries is a rare gift. Most of that "freedom" of the 1960s shack life now only exists in personal archives like yours.
Did you notice if any of the shacks nearby—perhaps on the same street—still had that original 1966 look when you last visited?

ky Brought Down is a permanent site-specific sound installation that was developed for a new indoor atrium and main staircase at the Center for Imaging and Intervention at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden. The work was part of my dissertation in artistic research: Before Sound—Transversal Processes in Site-Specific Practice, (2018) University of Gothenburg. Sky Brought Down takes as its conceptual foundation the sky outside the hospital. A weather station on the roof of the hospital forwards weather data in real time to the sound installation. This data is transformed into different types of sound textures.

Your Colour Perception is Liz West’s largest site-specific installation to date, incorporating all 5000 square feet of Castlefield Gallery’s New Art Spaces Federation House fourth floor in Manchester. West will react to the architectural space using colour and light to create vast immersive installation art. This presentation of new work was open for the weekend 31st January and 1st February between, intentionally utilising the darkness outside to raise the strength of the illumination and colouration in the work. Using the enormous space to install a light work in the darkest Winter months will allow the colour to bleed with more saturation than if displayed any other time of the year.

The Red-throated Diver (Gavia stellata), known in North America as the Red-throated Loon, is a migratory aquatic bird that is found in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It is the smallest and most widely distributed member of the loon or diver family.
Around 55–67 centimetres (22–26 in) in length, the Red-throated Diver is a nondescript bird in winter, greyish above fading to white below. During the breeding season, it acquires the distinctive reddish throat which gives rise to its common name. Fish form the bulk of the diet, with invertebrates and plants sometimes eaten as well. A monogamous species, the Red-throated Diver forms long-term pair bonds.

[edit] Taxonomy and etymology
First described by Danish naturalist Erik Pontoppidan in 1763, the Red-throated Diver is a monotypic species, with no distinctive subspecies despite its large Holarctic range.[2] Pontoppidan initially placed the species in the now-defunct genus Colymbus, which contained grebes as well as divers. By 1788, however, German naturalist Johann Reinhold Forster realized that grebes and divers were different enough to warrant separate genera, and moved the Red-throated Diver (along with all other diver species) to its present genus.[3] Its relationship to the four other divers is complex; though all belong to the same genus, it differs more than any of the others in terms of morphology, behaviour, ecology and breeding biology. It is thought to have evolved in the Palearctic, and then to have expanded into the Nearctic.[2]
The genus name Gavia comes from the Latin for "sea mew", as used by ancient Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder.[4] The specific epithet stellata is Latin for "set with stars" or "starry",[5] and refers to the bird's speckled back in its non-breeding plumage.[4] "Diver" refers to the family's underwater method of hunting for prey, while "red-throated" is a straightforward reference to the bird's most distinctive breeding plumage feature. The word "loon" is thought to have derived from the Swedish lom, the Old Norse or Icelandic lómr, or the Old Dutch loen, all of which mean "lame" or "clumsy", and is a probable reference to the difficulty that all divers have in moving about on land.[6]
[edit] Description
The Red-throated Diver is the smallest and lightest of the world's diver species, ranging from 55–67 centimetres (22–26 in) in length with a 91–110 centimetres (36–43 in) wingspan,[7] and averaging 1.4 kilograms (3.1 lb) in weight.[8] Like all divers, it is long-bodied and short-necked, with its legs set far back on its body.[9] The sexes are similar, although males tend to be slightly larger and heavier than females.[2] In breeding plumage, the adult has a grey head and neck (with narrow black and white stripes on the back of the neck), a triangular red throat patch, white underparts and a dark mantle. It is the only diver with an all-dark back in breeding plumage. The non-breeding plumage is drabber with the chin, foreneck and much of the face white, and considerable white speckling on the dark mantle. Its bill is thin, straight and sharp, and the bird often holds it at an uptilted angle. Though the colour of the bill changes from black in summer to pale grey in winter, the timing of the colour change does not necessarily correspond to that of the bird's overall plumage change. The nostrils are narrow slits located near the base of the bill, and the iris is reddish.
An adult in non-breeding plumage shows the speckled back which gives the bird its specific name.When it first emerges from its egg, the young Red-throated Diver is covered with fine soft down feathers. Primarily dark brown to dark grey above, it is slightly paler on the sides of its head and neck, as well as on its throat, chest, and flanks, with a pale grey lower breast and belly. Within weeks, this first down is replaced by a second, paler set of down feathers, which are in turn replaced by developing juvenile feathers.[10]
In flight, the Red-throated Diver has a distinctive profile; its small feet do not project far past the end of its body, its head and neck droop below the horizontal (giving the flying bird a distinctly hunchbacked shape) and its thin wings are angled back. It has a quicker, deeper wingbeat than do other divers.[8]
[edit] Voice
The adult Red-throated Diver has a number of vocalisations, which are used in different circumstances. In flight, when passing conspecifics or circling its own pond, it gives a series of rapid yet rhythmic goose-like cackles, at roughly five calls per second. Its warning call, if disturbed by humans or onshore predators, is a short croaking bark. A low-pitched moaning call, used primarily as a contact call between mates and between parents and young, but also during copulation, is made with the bill closed. The species also has a short wailing call, which descends slightly in pitch and lasts about a second; due to strong harmonics surrounding the primary pitch, this meowing call is more musical than its other calls. Another call—a harsh, pulsed cooing that rises and falls in pitch, and is typically repeated up to 10 times in a row—is used in territorial encounters and pair-bonding, and by parent birds encouraging their young to move on land between bodies of water.[11] Known as the "long call", it is often given in duet, which is unusual among the divers;[12] the female's contribution is longer and softer than her mate's.[11]
Young have a shrill closed-bill call, which they use in begging and to contact their parents. They also have a long call used in response to (and similar to that of) the long call of adults.[11]
[edit] Habitat and distribution
The Red-throated Diver breeds primarily in the Arctic regions of northern Eurasia and North America (generally north of 50°N latitude), and winters in northern coastal waters.[13] Unlike other divers, the Red-throated Diver regularly uses very small freshwater lakes as breeding sites.
In North America, it winters regularly along both coasts, ranging as far south as the Baja California Peninsula and the Gulf of California in northwestern Mexico; it has been recorded as a vagrant in the interior Mexican state of Hidalgo.[14] In Europe, it breeds in Iceland, northern Scotland, Scandinavia and northern Russia, and winters along the coast as far south as parts of Spain; it also regularly occurs along major inland waterways, including the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Seas, as well as large river, lakes and reservoirs.[15] It has occurred as a vagrant as far south as Morocco, Tunisia and The Gambia.[1]
Some of its folknames in northeastern North America—including cape race, cape brace, cape drake and cape racer, as well as corruptions such as scapegrace—originated from its abundance around Cape Race, Newfoundland.[16]
[edit] Behaviour
Because its feet are located so far back on its body, the Red-throated Diver is not capable of walking on land; however, it can use its feet to shove itself forward on its breast.[8] Young use this method of covering ground when moving from their breeding pools to larger bodies of water, including rivers and the sea.[17] It is the only species of diver able to take off directly from land.[18]
The Red-throated Diver is a diurnal migrant, which travels singly or in loose groups, often high above the water.[8] In eastern North America (and possibly elsewhere), it tends to migrate near the coast rather than farther offshore.[19] It is a strong flier, and has been clocked at speeds between 75 and 78 kilometres per hour (47–49 mph).[20] Like all members of its family, the Red-throated Diver goes through a simultaneous wing moult, losing all its flight feathers at once and becoming flightless for a period of 3–4 weeks. However, unlike other divers—which undergo this moult in late winter—the Red-throated Diver loses its ability to fly sometime between early August and November.[21]
[edit] Food and feeding
Like all members of its family, the Red-throated Diver is primarily a fish-eater, though it sometimes feeds on molluscs, crustaceans, frogs, aquatic invertebrates, insects, fish spawn or even plant material.[22] It seizes rather than spears its prey, which is generally captured underwater.[23] Though it normally dives and swims using only its feet for propulsion, it may use its wings as well if it needs to turn or accelerate quickly.[24] Pursuit dives range from 2–9 metres (6.6–30 ft) in depth, with an average underwater time of about a minute.[22] The fish diet of the Red-throated Diver has led to several of its folknames, including "sprat borer" and "spratoon".[25]
Chicks are competent swimmers, able to accompany their parents soon after hatching.For the first few days after hatching, young Red-throated Divers are fed aquatic insects and small crustaceans by both parents. After 3–4 days, the parents switch to fish small enough for the young birds to swallow whole. By four weeks of age, the young can eat the same food—of the same size—as their parents do.[26] Young birds may be fed for some time after fledging; adults have been seen feeding fish to juveniles at sea and on inland lakes in the United Kingdom, hundreds of kilometers from any breeding areas.[27][28]
[edit] Breeding
The Red-throated Diver is a monogamous species which forms long-term pair bonds. Both sexes build the nest, which is a shallow scrape (or occasionally a platform of mud and vegetation) lined with vegetation and sometimes a few feathers, and placed within a half-metre (18 in) of the edge of a small pond. The female lays two eggs (though clutches of 1–3 have been recorded); they are incubated for 24–29 days, primarily by the female. The eggs, which are greenish or olive-brownish spotted with black, measure 75 x 46 millimetres (3.0 x 1.8 in) and have a mass of 83 grams (2.9 oz), of which 8 percent is shell.[23][29] Incubation is begun as soon as the first egg is laid, so they hatch asynchronously. The young birds are precocial upon hatching: downy and mobile with open eyes; both parents feed them (small aquatic invertebrates initially, then small fish) for 38–48 days. Parents will perform distraction displays to lure predators away from the nest and young.[23] Ornithologists disagree as to whether adults carry young on their backs while swimming with some maintaining that they do[23] and others the opposite.[30]
[edit] Conservation status and threats
JuvenileThough the Red-throated Diver is not a globally threatened species, as it has a large population and a significant range, there are populations which appear to be declining. Numbers counted in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service surveys in Alaska show a 53 percent population decline between 1971 and 1993, for example,[31] and counts have dropped in continental Europe as well.[32] In Scotland, on the other hand, the population increased by some 16 percent between 1994 and 2006, according to surveys done by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and Scottish Natural Heritage.[32] In 2002, Wetlands International estimated a global population of 490,000 to 1,500,000 individuals; global population trends haven't been quantified.[1]
The Red-throated Diver is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies;[33] in the Americas, it is protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.[34] Oil spills, habitat degradation, and fishing nets are among the main threats this species faces.[30] In addition, high levels of mercury in the environment have led to reproductive failures in some areas, including parts of Sweden.[35] On the breeding grounds, Arctic and Red Foxes are major predators of eggs,[36] while Great Skuas, Arctic Skuas and various species of Larus gulls (including Great Black-backed Gulls and Glaucous Gulls)[37][38] are predators of both eggs and young.[39]
[edit] In human culture
Used as a food source since prehistoric times,[40][41] the Red-throated Diver is still hunted by indigenous peoples in some parts of the world today.[42] Eggs as well as birds are taken, sometimes in significant numbers; during one study on northern Canada's Igloolik Island, 73% of all Red-throated Diver eggs laid within the 10 km2 (3.9 mi2) study site over two breeding seasons were collected by indigenous inhabitants of the island.[43] In some parts of Russia, Red-throated Diver skins were traditionally used to make caps, collars and other clothing trim.[44] The species was also central to the creation mythologies of indigenous groups throughout the Holarctic.[45] According to the myth—which varies only slightly between versions, despite the sometimes-vast distances that separated the groups who believed it—the diver was asked by a great shaman to bring up earth from the bottom of the sea. That earth was then used to build the world's dry land.[45][46]
As recently as the 1800s, the Red-throated Diver was thought to be a foreteller of storms; according to the conventional wisdom of the time, birds flying inland or giving short cries predicted good weather, while those flying out to sea or giving long, wailing cries predicted rain.[29][32] In the Orkney and Shetland islands of Scotland, the species is still known as the "rain goose" in deference to its supposed weather-predicting capabilities.[32]
Bhutan, Japan and the Union of the Comoros have issued stamps featuring the Red-throated Diver.[47]

The 12 Metre Class is a specific rating for racing boats designed to certain International rules.
It enables fair competition between boats that rate in the class whilst retaining the freedom to experiment with the details of their designs.
The first 12 Metres were built in 1907.
The 12 Metre Class was used in the Olympic Games of 1908, 1912 and 1920 but only few boats participated.
The 12 Metre class boats are probably best known for their use from 1958 to 1987 in the America's Cup.
It all goes back to 1851 and Queen Victoria. Since then, men have spent small fortunes to win this most prestigious and oldest sporting trophy in the world.
The latter part of the 20th century saw a big revival in interest in classic yachts, including 12 Metre yachts, and particularly those of wooden construction.
There were an increasing number of prestigious regattas in attractive locations such as the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
Also a more prosperous global economy prevailed and the result was an increasing number of restorations and racing of older ‘classic’ 12 Metres.

curadoria Bruno de Almeida
A Galeria Leme apresenta o terceiro site-specific comissionado para o projeto SITU, curado por Bruno de Almeida, dando continuidade a uma pesquisa mais ampla sobre formas de pensar e discutir a produção do espaço (urbano) através de um diálogo entre arte, arquitetura e cidade.
SITU convida o artista Venezuelano Ricardo Alcaide a conceber uma obra que resulte de uma reflexão sobre o contexto urbano entendido como ampla matriz físico-social, e que se relacione simultaneamente com o exterior do edifício da galeria e com o espaço público contíguo.
Ricardo Alcaide projeta um grande volume geométrico negro que ocupa quase a totalidade do pátio externo da galeria. A face que se apresenta para o transeunte se desenvolve em rampa desde o chão, mais próximo à calçada, se elevando até ao topo da parede ao fundo do pátio e chegando a seis metros de altura. O volume disseca diagonalmente as fachadas da galeria, anulando o espaço externo e bloqueando quase inteiramente as duas entradas para o edifício. Para a construção deste elemento monumental o artista usa uma madeira vulgarmente utilizada na construção civil como estrutura para moldes de concreto in loco, o mesmo processo de construção das paredes da galeria.
Devido à obstrução do acesso habitual ao edifício, Alcaide desloca a entrada para a fachada oposta, utilizando uma porta que se encontra habitualmente fechada. Este novo acesso faz referência à entrada original do primeiro projeto da galeria, do arquiteto Paulo Mendes da Rocha, construída em 2004 e depois demolida em 2011 para dar lugar à sua réplica, a estrutura que existe hoje. Com a realocação e a reorientação do edifício, o projeto inicial foi readaptado e consequentemente a inversão da entrada foi incorporada.
Através da ocupação e quase inutilização de um espaço (semi)público e da consequente adaptação do percurso de entrada, Ricardo Alcaide induz a um reexame da relação física do visitante com o edifício e subverte o funcionamento normal da instituição. Criando uma circunstância espacial que se localiza no limiar entre conflito e uma espécie de institucionalização da provisoriedade, o artista tira partido da fricção entre rigidez e improviso institucional que está frequentemente presente na nossa experiência da cidade, se materializando comumente no encontro entre a arquitetura “oficial" e as construções improvisadas que cumulativamente se acoplam a esta e são resultados de pactos territoriais paralelos à própria ordem jurídico-normativa oficial.

Informal Order
curated by Bruno de Almeida
Galeria Leme presents the third site-specific commissioned for SITU, curated by Bruno de Almeida, giving continuity to a broader research on ways of thinking and discussing the production of (urban) space through a dialogue between art, architecture and city.
SITU invites Venezuelan artist Ricardo Alcaide to devise a work that results from a reflection on the urban context understood as a broad physical-social matrix, and that simultaneously relates to the exterior of the gallery’s building and to the adjacent public space.
Ricardo Alcaide designs a large black geometric volume that occupies almost the entire outdoor patio of the gallery. The face that presents itself to the passersby develops in ramp from the ground, closer to the sidewalk, rising up to six meters until the top of the wall at the back of the courtyard. The volume diagonally dissects the gallery facades, nullifying the external space and almost entirely blocking the two entrances to the building. For the construction of this monumental element the artist uses a wood that is commonly used in construction as a framework for molds of in situ concrete, the same construction process of the gallery’s walls.
Due to the obstruction of the normal access into the building, Alcaide displaces the entry to the opposite facade, using a door which is customarily closed. This new access refers to the original entry of the gallery’s first project, from architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha, built in 2004 and then demolished in 2011 to make way for its replica, the structure that exists today. With the relocation and reorientation of the building the initial project was readapted and consequently the reversal of the entrance was incorporated.
Through the occupation and almost obliteration of a (semi)public space and the subsequent adaptation of the entrance route, Ricardo Alcaide induces a reexamination of the visitor's physical relationship with the building and subverts the normal functioning of the institution. Creating a spatial condition that is located on the threshold of conflict and an “institutionalization” of provisionality, the artist takes advantage of the friction between rigidity and institutional improvisation that is often present in our experience of the city, commonly materializing itself in the clash between the “official” architecture and the makeshift constructions that are cumulatively coupled to it, being the result of territorial pacts that are parallel to the official legal-normative order.

3 fingers up. Requires Immediate Attention.
Check out the brand new Occupy Santa Fe pool, a group with very practical discussion threads:
An uprgadet version of the Leibgrennadier APC, mainly feautering new suspension different sideskirts and a new drivers hatch.
This specific version is geared towards urban combat, with a 30mm autocannon and 2 115mm rocket pods that are normaly mounted on helicopters.
On the side another turret option can be seen, this one with a 40mm autocanon, coaxial 8mm machinegun and two ATGM launchers
As usual the vehicle carries 2 crew an a full squad of 8 Panzergrennadiers, though the heavy weapons station leads to quite a few instances of passengers sitting udnerneath its mounting point hitting their head. The available space for the rest of them also didn't improve, the vehicle might carry far less shells than the 15mm armed version, but those shells and espceially missiles are a lot bigger.

The Viennese City Park stretches from the park ring in the first district of Vienna up to the Haymarket in the third district of Vienna and is a of both tourists and local citizens well-visited park in Vienna. Its area is 65,000 m².
History
Yet in the Biedermeier the Water Glacis was a popular entertainment venue before the Karolinenstadttor (city gate). As part of the by the demolition of the city wall happened remodeling in the Ringstrasse, the project of a public park has been promoted on that site by the then Mayor of Vienna, Andreas Zelinka. This park was designed in the style of English gardens by the landscape painter Josef Selleny, the plannings were carried out by the city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. On 21th August 1862 the city park was opened as the first public park in Vienna.

"Wien" (Vienna River) in the city park
On the right bank of the river Wien (Wienfluss) was 1863 the so-called children's park, today mainly characterized by paved playgrounds and sports facilities, which over the Karoline bridge (Karolinenbrücke) (since 1918 Stadtparkbrücke), built in 1857, with the on the left bank situated town park is connected.
In the years 1903-1907 was in the parking area after the regulation a by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer planned Vienna river engineering structure with the river gate, pavilions and river banks built, which is one of the sights in the park.
In earlier times visitors of the park for the stay in placed chairs had to pay fees that were collected by the chair women (the so-called Sesselweiber).
Attractions in the park
Kursalon
The Kursalon
The water Glacis was a spa pavilion in which healing waters for drinking cures were served. To that affect, in the years 1865 to 1867 for the city park also the Kursalon was built according to plans of Johann Garben. This historicist imposing home in the style of the Italian Renaissanceg is located at the John street (Johannesgasse) and has a large terrace in the park:
After the opening on 8th May 1867 were originally forbidden pleasures. As this concept was not adopted, yet on 15th October in 1868 was taking place the first concert of Johann Strauss (son) whereupon became the Kursalon a popular dance and concert venue in particular at the time of the Strauss brothers. Today, the Kursalon after a renovation phase is again venue for balls, concerts, clubbings and conferences and houses a café-restaurant.

Monuments
With the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss (son) stands in the city park one of the best known and most frequently photographed monuments in Vienna. It was on 26th June 1921 unveiled and is framed of a marble relief by Edmund Hellmer. The gilding was removed in 1935 and in 1991 applied again. Other monuments there are, for example, of Franz Schubert, Franz Lehar and Robert Stolz and Hans Makart, the City Park is in monuments and sculptures the richest park in Vienna.
The dairy (Meierei)
The former milk bar was built as part of the Wienflußverbauung (Vienna river engineering structure) according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer from 1901 until 1903. After suffering heavy damages during the Second World War the building was extended in the reconstruction. Today is in the dairy after another annex a restaurant.
Planting
The planting of the city park is characterized by a great diversity of species and is, as possible, focused on a year-round flowering. Through an avenue to the ring road noise and exhaust gases are filtered. Some trees are protected, such as a ginkgo, a crown of thorns (Honeylocust, Christusdorn), cottonwood tree and Caucasian wingnut.

A SPECTRUM is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary infinitely within a continuum. The word saw its first scientific use within the field of optics to describe the rainbow of colors in visible light when separated using a prism; it has since been applied by analogy to many fields other than optics. Thus, one might talk about the spectrum of political opinion, or the spectrum of activity of a drug, or the autism spectrum. In these uses, values within a spectrum may not be associated with precisely quantifiable numbers or definitions. Such uses imply a broad range of conditions or behaviors grouped together and studied under a single title for ease of discussion.
In most modern usages of spectrum there is a unifying theme between extremes at either end. Some older usages of the word did not have a unifying theme, but they led to modern ones through a sequence of events set out below. Modern usages in mathematics did evolve from a unifying theme, but this may be difficult to recognize.

More than 150 people holding signs and candles attended a vigil, organized by Centro Presente, at the Massachusetts State House to protest the arrest of 121 immigrants last weekend, primarily in Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina, targeting a specific group of adults and children from Central America who arrived illegally after May 1, 2014, and had been ordered deported by an immigration judge. Although nobody has been detained in New England advocates are planning forums to educate immigrants about their rights in case of a raid.
