Vauxhall bus station

Vauxhall bus station is a bus station in Vauxhall, in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is operated by London Buses and owned and maintained by Transport for London, and is the second busiest bus station in the city. The station, which is adjacent to the Vauxhall railway and tube stations, is situated on Bondway between Wandsworth Road, Kennington Road and Parry Street. Layout In 2004, bus stops were moved from outlying roads (South Lambeth Road, Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall Bridge) to a central point at the Vauxhall Cross road junction to create an improved transport interchange. The bus station was designed by Arup Group. It incorporates two cantilevered arms that contain 167 solar panels, which provide a third of the bus station's electricity. The nine stands are served by Transport for London contracted operators Arriva London, London Central, London General, London Transit and Transport UK London Bus. Connections Directly south next to the bus station is Vauxhall station for London Underground's Victoria line and South Western Railway. Under threat of demolition In 2013, Lambeth Council and Transport for London announced plans to demolish the bus station to build a new High Street, as part of Vauxhall's regeneration plans. The Vauxhall Society campaigned against the demolition and set up a petition to pressure the government to reconsider. An attempt to get the bus station Listed building status failed in 2014. By 2019 the plans were to build two residential tower blocks on the site, at heights of 53 and 42 floors, with a new bus station on the ground floor. A four-day public inquiry into the future of the project began in December 2019. In April 2020, Robert Jenrick upheld the development decisions and demolition was approved.

Veizey's Quarry

Veizey's Quarry (grid reference ST881944) is a 1.4 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest near Tetbury in Gloucestershire, notified in 1974. It is in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is listed in the 'Cotswold District' Local Plan 2001-2011 (on line) as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS) and a Regionally Important Geological Site (RIGS). Geology The Quarry exposes the Upper Bathonian Athelstan Oolite and also the overlying Forest Marble. These are limestones of the Jurassic Period which was laid down 160 million years ago. This is considered the best example in the Tetbury area of the development of the Athelstan Oolite. This particular exposure is important in facies and stratigraphic interpretation of the Bathonian rocks.

Velocity Tower

Velocity Tower is a mixed use development next to the Inner Ring Road in Sheffield City Centre, South Yorkshire, England, overlooking Ecclesall Road. The build is a continuation of a previous design to be built by Cala, titled 'Eclipse'. Cala Eclipse The original plans for the site were for a single tower named Eclipse, the result of a project by Cala Developments and initially designed by Broadway Malyan. These designs called for a charcoal-grey cladded 22-story tower with a 12-story brickwork skin wing that was to provide 263 new apartments. After successfully selling most of the apartments before construction began - Cala decided that the economic conditions were unfavourable and abandoned the scheme in 2005, causing concern among early investors by putting the land up for sale without a public announcement. Velocity Tower In 2007 it was eventually confirmed that Velocity Estates were to take over the project with some design changes from Sheffield-based architects AXIS Architecture. The altered design included a high-quality glass cladding façade to replace the previously proposed brickwork skin. A taller ground floor was also introduced, and a rooftop wind turbine array was added to improve the building's green credentials. Construction started in 2007 under the agreed planning permission of the previous Eclipse building while a further application was submitted to alter the appearance of the tower and meet the City Council's design standards. An application for the tower to go up to 36 storeys was submitted on 6 March 2008, but this was ultimately rejected by Sheffield Council stating that a 33-36 storey tower "would unacceptably break the city's skyline in important distant views". A further revision to the plans was submitted limiting the building to a 30-storey tower and also lowering the west-facing wing of the building to 5 floors. To compensate for this reduction, however, the plans included the design of a second smaller tower at the far end of the wing, which would climb to 17 storeys. These plans were accepted by the council on 9 September 2008. On 23 November 2008, the construction crane was removed from the Velocity Tower site and structural work was halted. The tower now stands at 22 storeys of the 30 storeys planned, with, as of August 2009, the second tower and wing an unfinished concrete frame of two storeys, and the grounds fenced off. Grand opening In December 2008, Velocity Tower - although unfinished - opened its doors to potential tenants.

Verne Citadel

Verne Citadel is a 19th-century citadel on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. Located on the highest point of Portland, Verne Hill, it sits in a commanding position overlooking Portland Harbour, which it was built to defend. In 1949, it became HM Prison The Verne. History The citadel was built between 1857 and 1881, as Portland Harbour's main fortification. Naturally inaccessible from the north and east, the south and west sides were protected by the digging of a large ditch. Both East Weare Battery and East Weare Camp, located below the eastern side of the Verne, were considered part of the citadel's outworks. The citadel was designed with open gun emplacements on the north, east and west sides. As its defensive role came to an end, by 1903 the citadel had become an infantry barracks. During World War I and II, the Verne became the Headquarters of Coast Artillery. During World War II, a Chain Home Low Radar set was installed within the citadel, and the main magazine became a hospital. After the war, the last military use of the fort was by the Royal Engineers. The citadel was turned into a prison in 1949, becoming a Category C prison for 575 adult males, serving medium-to-long term sentences. In 2013, the prison closed and became an immigration removal centre for 600 detainees awaiting deportation in 2014. The centre was transformed back into a prison in 2017–18. Grade listed features The citadel, including the Verne High Angle Battery, is a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. In recent years, the Citadel has been listed on English Heritage's Risk Register. Both the North and South Entrances, as well as the south west and south east casemates, are Grade II* Listed. The railings at the approach to the north entrance form part of the original construction and are Grade II Listed. The prison's reception centre is also Grade II Listed. In September 1978, five other features of the citadel became Grade II Listed: the prison's blacksmith's shop, the prison chapel, the officer's block B, the prison gymnasium, and the detached Governor's house. The East Weare Battery, and the detention barracks of East Weare Camp (built circa 1880), both became Grade II Listed in May 1993. The Verne High Angle Battery was built in 1892, approximately 150 metres south of the citadel's southern entrance, as part of Britain's Coastal Defences. Decommissioned in 1906, it became Grade II Listed in May 1993 too. References Bibliography Hogg, Ian V (1974). Coast Defences of England and Wales 1856-1956. David & Charles. ISBN 0-7153 6353-0.

Verne High Angle Battery

The Verne High Angle Battery is a former 19th-century gun battery on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. Situated close to the Verne Citadel, the battery is Grade II Listed, and forms part of the citadel's scheduled monument status. The battery has become a tourist attraction, while the battery's tunnels are often referred to by their local name 'Ghost Tunnels'. History The battery was built in 1892 to protect Portland Harbour. Having been constructed within a disused quarry, the battery's guns were hidden from enemy's view. The "high angle" that the RML 9 inch 12 ton guns fired at ensured shells dropped down to inflict maximum damage on the vulnerable upper decks of an enemy vessel. The guns were able to traverse through 360 degrees. The battery had positions were built for six guns. Two additional pits were soon added, but no guns were fitted. Shells were stored in two tunnel magazines, while between these was a troop shelter, laboratory and store buildings. With the invention of smaller craft like torpedo boats, the guns were less likely to score a hit, resulting in the battery's decommissioning in 1906. From 1918, the battery was used for storing field guns from France and in the 1960s one of the emplacements was used for testing the capsules in which nuclear material was transported.

Běloruská řeckokatolická církev

Běloruská řeckokatolická církev je jednou z východních církví byzantského obřadu. Historie a současnost Její původ sahá k Brestské unii z roku 1595. Území Běloruska od té doby patřilo k několika státům. V době, kdy území Běloruska bylo součástí Ruska, byla řeckokatolická církev na jeho území potlačována. Naposledy byla církev začleněna do Ruské pravoslavné církve po 2. světové válce a řeckokatolíci byli následně pronásledováni. Malé komunity řeckokatolíků se začaly vynořovat až po pádu Sovětského svazu a získání nezávislosti Běloruska. V roce 1993 byl za apoštolského vizitátora pro řeckokatolíky v Bělorusku jmenován Jan Sergiusz Gajek MIC. Na začátku roku 2005 bylo v zemi 20 řeckokatolických farností, z toho 13 bylo úředně uznáno. V nich bylo asi 3000 věřících a sloužilo 10 kněží. Komunity řeckokatolíků žijí i v diaspoře v zahraničí, například v Londýně a Chicagu.

Belarussische Griechisch-Katholische Kirche

Die Belarussische Griechisch-Katholische Kirche ist eine der unierten Kirchen und damit ein Teil der Römisch-Katholischen Kirche. Wie andere katholischen Kirchen untersteht sie letztlich dem Papst, sie hat aber einen byzantinischen Ritus. Über die weltweite Zahl der unierten Belarussen gibt es keine kirchenamtlichen Angaben. Es gibt amerikanische Diasporagemeinden, Zentren der europäischen Diaspora sind London und Antwerpen, mit Alexander Nadson als Visitator in England. Diese Gemeinschaften unterstehen der örtlichen römisch-katholischen Jurisdiktion. Geschichte Die Existenz der Unierten in Belarus geht, wie auch die Ukrainisch-Katholische Kirche, auf die Kirchenunion von Brest, im Jahre 1595/96, zurück. In den folgenden Zeiten durch das Russische Reich unterdrückt gab es bereits Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts kaum mehr Unierte in Belarus. Aber bis in die Zwischenkriegszeit waren die belarussischen Unierten als Kirche sui juris (d. h. eigenen Rechts) anerkannt. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg hatten sie in den zu Polen gehörenden Gebieten etwa 30.000 Gläubige, 1931 wurde für sie ein Apostolischer Visitator ernannt und 1940 ein eigenes Exarchat eingerichtet, das aber angesichts des Krieges nie normal funktioniert hat. Als die ostpolnischen Gebiete nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg jedoch an die Sowjetunion gelangten, vollzog diese eine Zwangsunion mit der Russisch-Orthodoxen Kirche. Nach dem Krieg existierten in Polen nur mehr einzelne belarussisch-unierte Gemeinden und darüber hinaus Gemeinden von Emigranten in Amerika und Westeuropa. Mit der Erlangung der Unabhängigkeit der Republik Belarus im Jahr 1991, lebte die unierte Tradition auch östlich des Bug wieder auf, und es bestehen wieder einige unierte Pfarreien mit einigen tausend Gläubigen. Angesichts der geringen Zahl verzichtete der Heilige Stuhl aber auf die Wiedererrichtung einer eigenen Hierarchie für die unierten Belarussen. Sie wurden stattdessen den lokalen römisch-katholischen Diözesen unterstellt. Zur Betreuung der Unierten ernannte Papst Johannes Paul II. 1993 zusätzlich einen Apostolischen Visitator, Archimandrit Jan Sergiusz Gajek, mit Sitz im polnischen Lublin. In den päpstlichen Dokumenten werden die unierten Belarussen als Gemeinschaft und nicht als (Teil-)Kirche bezeichnet, denn sie sind der Hierarchie des lateinischen Ritus untergeordnet, wenn auch in ihren Angelegenheiten das spezielle Kirchenrecht für die östlichen Katholiken angewendet wird; man spricht aber von der Belarussischen griechisch-katholischen Kirche. Sie umfasst heute etwa 8000 Gläubige in etwa 20 Gemeinden. Papst Franziskus errichtete am 30. März 2023 die Apostolische Administratur für die Gläubigen des byzantinischen Ritus in Belarus. Zum ersten Apostolischen Administrator ernannte er den polnischen Ordenspriester Jan Sergiusz Gajek MIC, ohne ihm die Bischofswürde zu verleihen.

Bjeloruska grkokatolička Crkva

Bjeloruska grkokatolička Crkva (bje. Беларуская грэка-каталіцкая царква, BHKC) je jedna od 23 Istočne katoličke Crkve sui iuris (po svom pravu) u zajedništvu s drugim Crkvama istočnog obreda te u punom zajedništvu s rimskim papom kojeg priznaje za poglavara. Bjeloruska grkokatolička Crkva je regulirana Istočnim kanonskim pravom, odnosno Zakonikom kanona istočnih Crkava. Povijest Bjeloruska katolička Crkva smatra se tradicionalnom bjeloruskom Crkvom koja je prihvatila nadležnost Svetog Oca u Rimu nakon pada i degradacije Crkve u Konstantinopolu tijekom 15. i 16. stoljeća. Kao rezultat dogovora između bjeloruskih crkvenih poglavara i Svete stolice u Rimu, 1596. stvorena je Brestska crkvena unija. Tim činom svi Bjelorusi zajedno s Ukrajincima prihvatili su nadležnost Rima, ali su zadržali vlastiti bizantski crkveni obred i druga zatražena prava. Ipak u periodu između dva svjetska rata priznata je kao Crkva sui juris (tj. s vlastitim pravima). Poslije Prvog svjetskog rata u područjima koja su pripadala Poljskoj imala je oko 30,000 vjernika, 1931. je imenovan apostolski vizitaror dok je 1940. imenovan vlastiti egzarh, koji pak zbog rata nije mogao normalno djelovati. Pošto su područja istočne Poljske poslije Drugog svjetskog rata pripala Sovjetskom Savezu, dolazi do prisilnog spajanja Bjeloruske grkokatoličke Crkve s Ruskom pravoslavnom Crkvom. Poslije rata je bilo nekoliko zajednica u Poljskoj kao i nekoliko zajednica Bjeloruske grkokatoličke Crkve sastavljenih od emigranata u SAD-u i Zapadnoj Europi. S nastankom neovisne republike Bjelorusije, 1991., oživljava ponovno tradicija Bjeloruske grkokatoličke Crkve i istočno od rijeke Bug i nastaju ponovno župe s nekoliko tisuća vjernika. Zbog malog broja vjernika Sveta Stolica nije Bjeloruskoj grkokatoličkoj Crkvi dozvolila uspostavu vlastite hijerarhije. Umjesto toga postaje podložna rimo-katoličkim biskupijama. Kao podršku Bjeloruskoj grkokatoličkoj Crkvi, papa Ivan Pavao II. je 1993., imenovao dodatnog apostolskog vizitatora, arhimandrita Sergiusza Gajeka. U papinskim dokumentima je Bjeloruska grkokatolička Crkva označena kao zajednica, a ne kao odvojena Crkva, i ona je potpuno podređena latinskom crkvenom obredu, iako se na crkvene poslove primjenjuje specijalno crkveno pravo za grkokatolike.
Wit-Russische Grieks-Katholieke Kerk

De Wit-Russische Grieks-Katholieke Kerk (Wit-Russisch: Беларуская грэка-каталіцкая (уніяцкая) царква, Belaruskaja greka-katalizkaja (unijazkaja) Tsarkva; Russisch: Белорусская греко-католическая церковь, Belaruskaja Greka-Kataliskaja tserkov) behoort tot de oosters-katholieke kerken. Zij volgt de Byzantijnse ritus; de liturgische taal is Wit-Russisch en de gelovigen gebruiken de gregoriaanse kalender. Geschiedenis In 1596 werd tijdens de Synode van Brest besloten de Kerk in Polen-Litouwen - waarvan het huidige Wit-Rusland en een groot deel van het huidige Oekraïne deel uitmaakten - onder het gezag van de paus van Rome te plaatsen. Hierdoor ontstonden geünieerde oosters-katholieke kerken. Onder meer de Oekraïense Grieks-Katholieke Kerk vindt hier haar oorsprong. Met de Poolse Delingen (1773/1793/1795) kwam het huidige Wit-Rusland toe aan Rusland. Zowel de orthodoxe als de geünieerde christenen werden verplicht zich aan te sluiten bij de Russisch-Orthodoxe Kerk. Tijdens de Duitse bezetting, gedurende de Tweede Wereldoorlog, werd voor de geünieerde gelovigen in Wit-Rusland een exarchaat opgericht. In 1946 werden ze echter opnieuw gedwongen toe te treden tot de oosters-orthodoxe kerk en konden – zoals in Oekraïne – alleen ondergedoken hun geloof beleven. In 1992 – na het einde van de Sovjet-Uniedictatuur - stond de Wit-Russische regering de vorming van een exarchaat van de geünieerde Kerk toe. In 1993 had paus Johannes Paulus II de intentie de Wit-Russische parochies in te lijven bij het rooms-katholieke bisdom Hrodna; na hevig protest van de geünieerden ging dit niet door. Huidige situatie De Wit-Russische Grieks-Katholieke Kerk telt ongeveer 7.000 gelovigen; dit is geen 0,1 % van de totale bevolking. Een aantal gelovigen wonen in de Verenigde Staten en Groot-Brittannië. De kerk heeft geen eigen bisdommen; in 1994 werd Mgr. Jan Sergej Gajek aangesteld als apostolisch visitator. In 2023 werd een apostolische administratie opgericht voor de katholieken die de Byzantijnse ritus volgen, met wederom Jan Sergej Gajek als prelaat. Er zijn 12 parochies met 6 priesters en 3 diakens.
Белоруска гркокатоличка црква

Белоруска гркокатоличка црква (бел. Беларуская грэка-каталіцкая царква, БХКЦ) је једна од 23 Источне католичке цркве sui iuris (по свом праву) у заједништву с другим црквама источног обреда и у пуном заједништву с римским папом којег признаје за поглавара. Белоруска гркокатоличка црква је регулисана Источним канонским правом, односно Закоником канона источних цркава. Историја Белоруска католичка црква сматра се традиционалном белоруском црквом која је прихватила надлежност Светог Оца у Риму након пада и деградације цркве у Константинопољу током 15. и 16. века. Као резултат договора између белоруских црквених поглавара и Свете столице у Риму, 1596. године створена је Брестовска унија. Тим чином сви Белоруси заједно са Украјинцима прихватили су надлежност Рима, али су задржали властити византски црквени обред и друга затражена права. Ипак у периоду између два светска рата призната је као црква sui iuris (тј. са властитим правима). После Првог светског рата у подручјима која су припадала Пољској бројала је око 30.000 верника, 1931. године је именован апостолски визитарор док је 1940. године именован властити егзарх, који пак због рата није могао нормално деловати. Пошто су подручја источне Пољске после Другог светског рата припала Совјетском Савезу, долази до присилног спајања Белоруске гркокатоличке цркве с Руском православном црквом. После рата је било неколико заједница у Пољској као и неколико заједница Белоруске гркокатоличке цркве састављених од емиграната у САД и западној Европи. Са настанком независне републике Белорусије, 1991. године, оживљава поновно традиција Белоруске гркокатоличке цркве и источно од реке Буг и настају поновно жупе с неколико хиљада верника. Због малог броја верника Света Столица није Белоруској гркокатоличкој цркви дозволила успоставу властите хијерархије. Уместо тога постаје подложна римо-католичким бискупијама.<ref name="ReferenceA/"> Као подршку Белоруској гркокатоличкој цркви, Папа Јован Павле II је 1993. године, именовао додатног апостолског визитатора, архимандрита Сергијуса Гајека. У папинским документима је Белоруска гркокатоличка црква означена као заједница, а не као одвојена црква, и она је потпуно подређена латинском црквеном обреду, иако се на црквене послове примењује специјално црквено право за гркокатолике.
