Ponta Negra is an upscale neighborhood in the Brazilian city of Manaus, Amazonas state capital. It is located in the city's West Zone. According to the census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), its population was 5007 inhabitants in 2010.
Although considered prime area, the increasing number of rennet cheese sellers boardwalk Ponta Negra have done to decrease the HDI in the region. The Movement Queijinho Vendors (MVQ), led by PT Laish Rebolledo Alencar, argues that the working class should also have the right to access view of the Rio Negro. Social conflicts between the residents of the luxury buildings and the representatives of the MVQ have grown and do not know what will be in the neighborhood of tomorrow.
History: - where today is located the neighborhood of Ponta Negra, but it is known that the region, around 1650, was inhabited by indigenous tribes. According to data historian, writer and plastic artist Moacir de Andrade, a mission was founded by Jesuits in TarumĂŁ area, with the existence of Arawak Indians and AlĂłfila, but no one knows for sure if there is a connection to the Ponta Negra.
"One way downhill having two inlet ends of which are lined with weeds." So Mario Ypiranga Monteiro designated the Ponta Negra beach which dominates the landscape of the neighborhood. No one knows for sure the year of the emergence of what would become the postcard of the city. However, it is known that in the golden period of the rubber, the region served as a supplier of raw materials for the buildings, so that was called Areal, precisely because it has a lot of sand in place. Ponta Negra, also left large amounts of coal and stones. On site there was a large property where it was grown cashews which the large trees became known as Cajual.
For a long time, the only way to access the beach of Ponta Negra was through boats, given their isolation from other neighborhoods of Manaus. In the first government of Gilberto Mestrinho from 1959 to 1963, which opened the access road to the site, but still get to the beach was an adventure, because the road was mud and did not offer security to passersby and not to vehicle drivers. The beach was establishing itself as a meeting point of the Amazonian society, where families were headed on weekends and holidays, especially in the warmer months of August, September and October. However, the Ponta Negra modernization process begins even with the road duplication in the early 1970s, and the construction of residential sets, such as Jardim Europa, which for many years remained the most distant residential area of ​​the center City.. From: pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponta_Negra_(Manaus)
Ponta Negra Ă© um bairro nobre do municĂpio brasileiro de Manaus, capital do estado do Amazonas. Localiza-se na Zona Oeste da cidade. De acordo com o censo do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e EstatĂstica (IBGE), sua população era de 5 007 habitantes em 2010.
Apesar de ser considerada área nobre, o crescente nĂşmero de vendedores de queijo coalho do calçadĂŁo da Ponta Negra tĂŞm feito decrescer o IDH da regiĂŁo. O Movimento dos Vendedores de Queijinho (MVQ), liderado pela petista LaĂs Rebouças Alencar, argumenta que a classe trabalhadora tambĂ©m deve ter direito ao acesso Ă vista do Rio Negro. Os conflitos sociais entre os moradores dos prĂ©dios de luxo e o representantes do MVQ tĂŞm crescido e nĂŁo se sabe o que será do bairro no dia de amanhĂŁ.
HistĂłria:- Onde hoje está localizado o bairro da Ponta Negra, mas se sabe que a regiĂŁo, por volta de 1650, era habitada por tribos indĂgenas. Conforme dados do historiador, escritor e artista plástico Moacir de Andrade, uma missĂŁo foi fundada por JesuĂtas na área do TarumĂŁ, com a existĂŞncia de Ăndios Aruaque e AlĂłfila, mas nĂŁo se sabe ao certo se existe uma ligação com a Ponta Negra.
"Uma via em declive tendo duas pontas da enseada que sĂŁo orladas de mato." Assim Mario Ypiranga Monteiro designou a praia da Ponta Negra que domina a paisagem do bairro. NĂŁo se sabe ao certo o ano do surgimento do que viria a ser o cartĂŁo postal da cidade. No entanto, sabe-se que no perĂodo áureo da borracha, a regiĂŁo servia como fornecedora de matĂ©ria-prima para as construções, tanto que se chamava Areal, justamente por ser ter muita areia no local. Da Ponta Negra, tambĂ©m saĂam grandes quantidades de carvĂŁo e pedras. No local tambĂ©m havia uma grande propriedade onde era cultivado caju, que pelo grande porte das árvores ficou conhecida como Cajual.
Por muito tempo, a Ăşnica forma de acesso Ă praia da Ponta Negra era atravĂ©s de barcos, dada seu isolamento dos outros bairros de Manaus. Somente no primeiro governo de Gilberto Mestrinho, de 1959 a 1963, Ă© que foi aberta a via de acesso ao local, mas mesmo assim, chegar atĂ© a praia era uma aventura, pois a estrada era de barro e nĂŁo oferecia segurança aos transeuntes e nem aos condutores de veĂculos. A praia foi se firmando como um ponto de reuniĂŁo da sociedade amazonense, para onde as famĂlias se dirigiam nos fins de semana e feriados, principalmente nos meses mais quentes de agosto, setembro e outubro. No entanto, o processo de modernização da Ponta Negra começa mesmo com a duplicação da estrada, no inĂcio da dĂ©cada de 1970, e a construção de conjuntos residĂŞnciais, como o Jardim Europa, que por muitos anos permaneceu como a área residencial mais distante do Centro da Cidade..

Inspired by the Forrestman Baby (from Stonewars), I got into the flow and built two more cute little guys.
Rosemary Square (formerly CityPlace) is an upscale lifestyle center in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, along South Rosemary Avenue. Considered a New Urbanist mixed-use development, Rosemary Square is architecturally composed of the Mediterranean and Venetian elements. The 600,000-square-foot (56,000 m2)-center contains more than 60 restaurants and stores, as well as rental apartments, condos, and offices.
Opening in October 2000, the property, which constitutes several city blocks, is primarily credited for West Palm Beach's urban renaissance, which had previously been notorious for crime, poverty, and vacant and dilapidated businesses and houses.
AMC Parisian 20 and IMAX, LA Fitness, and Publix are the center's anchors. The fourth anchor was Macy's which closed in 2017. Hotspots include Cheesecake Factory, Brio Tuscan Grille, Sloan's Ice Cream, and Starbucks. Apart from shopping, dining, and cinema, the center is now at the forefront of West Palm Beach's entertainment complementing establishments located on nearby Clematis Street.
The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. School of the Arts are located within walking distance to Rosemary Square, as is the Palm Beach County Convention Center. An early-century trolleybus circles downtown between Rosemary Square and Clematis.
CityPlace opened to the public on October 27, 2000, with 31 stores and 1 restaurant opening during the first weekend. Many other stores and restaurants were expected to open by mid-December, bringing the total number of stores and restaurants to about 70. The original anchors for CityPlace were Barnes & Noble, Macy's, Muvico Parisian 20, and IMAX theater. Wild Oats Markets was also planned as an original anchor. However, financial problems halted construction in 2000. CityPlace filed suit to terminate their lease, with both parties settling a few weeks later. On August 20, 2001, Wild Oats Markets was replaced by Publix as an anchor, which opened in January 2002.
Early on, CityPlace sought to attract many high-end stores as tenants, though emphasis shifted to home furnishings during the housing bubble. By the Great Recession, the focus turned heavily toward dining and entertainment establishments becoming tenants.
In January 2017, Macy's closed 68 of its stores across the United States, including its location at CityPlace. The former Macy's building is temporarily housing Downton Abbey: The Exhibition. Related Companies submitted plans for and gained approval from the city commission in November 2018 for transforming the building into a 21-story apartment building, which would add 300-400 new residential units to CityPlace.
As part of a re-imaging effort, CityPlace was renamed "Rosemary Square" in April 2019. Related Companies intends to invest almost $550 million in the construction of new restaurants, a new mixed-use luxury residential tower, and a new hotel, as well as an office tower containing 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2) of space. Some asphalt roads were replaced with gray and white pavers and converted into pedestrian walking areas.
The shopping center is the epitome of a New Urbanist mixed-use development. Most of its architecture is West European-inspired, with mainly Mediterranean and Venetian elements.
However, the CityPlace Tower constructed in 2007, and associated with the original property, is postmodern. This tower has been downtown West Palm Beach's first office development in over twenty years. Later phases of CityPlace, including Montecito Palm Beach (formerly called The Mark at CityPlace) and CityPlace South Tower, retain loyalty to the original development's architecture. Excluding these more recent additions, Rosemary Square proper contains 600 private residences.
The Harriet Himmel Theater, a former Methodist church, is located at the center of Rosemary Square. Built in 1926 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, it has undergone a six-million-dollar restoration and serves today as a cultural center. Surrounding squares, arcades, and promenades feature 2,000-square-foot (190 m2) water fountains and lush landscaping.

Recoleta Cemetery, in the upscale Recoleta Barrio of Buenos Aires, is the final resting place of many of Argentina’s wealthiest and most famous families and personages.
The layout of the cemetery was designed by the French engineer PrĂłspero Catelin, and was remodeled in 1881, while Torcuato de Alvear was mayor of the city, by the Italian architect Juan Antonio Buschiazzo.
The cemetery includes graves of some of the most influential and important Argentinians, including several presidents, scientists, and wealthy characters. Internationally, Eva PerĂłn is the best-known person buried in this cemetery.*

Related Companies intends to invest almost $550 million in the construction of new restaurants, a new mixed-use luxury residential tower, and a new hotel, as well as an office tower containing 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2) of space. Some asphalt roads were replaced with gray and white pavers and converted into pedestrian walking areas.
The shopping center is the epitome of a New Urbanist mixed-use development. Most of its architecture is West European-inspired, with mainly Mediterranean and Venetian elements.
However, the CityPlace Tower constructed in 2007, and associated with the original property, is postmodern. This tower has been downtown West Palm Beach's first office development in over twenty years. Later phases of CityPlace, including Montecito Palm Beach (formerly called The Mark at CityPlace) and CityPlace South Tower, retain loyalty to the original development's architecture. Excluding these more recent additions, Rosemary Square proper contains 600 private residences.
The Harriet Himmel Theater, a former Methodist church, is located at the center of Rosemary Square. Built in 1926 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, it has undergone a six-million-dollar restoration and serves today as a cultural center. Surrounding squares, arcades, and promenades feature 2,000-square-foot (190 m2) water fountains and lush landscaping.

Playing with the moon tonight and Topaz Gigapixel to double the size of the moon. Here is the 600mm moon and the 2X Gigapixel upscale. I thought it turned out pretty good considering the previous version of Gigapixel was not so great.

As we afols know very well the proportions of the LEGO minifigures are not conform to those of a human's body.
Based on different characters, I was trying to adjust the proportions to our human body.
