Honeylands

The Honeylands, originally the Honeylands Children's Sanatorium and later the Honeylands Children's Centre was a hospital in Exeter, Devon used as a children's pulmonary tuberculosis sanatorium, later used for treatment of children with learning difficulties. Adults were treated at the nearby Whipton Hospital. History As a house The site had a house before 1711, when it was sold by act of parliament upon the death of the owner of Polsloe Barton (which owned the land, despite its proximity to Whipton Barton), Samuel Isaac. The house passed through various owners, including a doctor, hide broker, and the owner of the Devon and Somerset Store in Exeter High Street. Tuberculosis sanatorium In January 1923, the house was purchased by Miss Violet Wills of Torquay, and donated to Exeter City Council for the sole purpose of being used as a sanatorium for children suffering from tuberculosis. Miss Wills offered both the house and the cost of the repairs and adaptations (estimated at £1,000 - £2,000). It opened and accepted children with TB, in May 1924, as well as those with scarlet fever and diphtheria. In 1945, a child welfare centre (including ante and post-natal clinics) was built on the grounds of Honeylands. The hospital joined the NHS in 1948, and along with the larger Hawkmoor Hospital near Bovey Tracey, as well as the nearby adult Whipton Hospital and the City Tuberculosis Dispensary in the city centre, Honeylands formed part of the Exeter Special Hospital Management Committee. School and learning difficulties Tuberculosis declined dramatically with the use of antibiotics, and whilst the hospital still took in children for recuperation from illness, they also specialised more on children with learning difficulties. The consultant paediatric doctor worked with Charles and Kay Vranch in 1966 to open Vranch House School on the site on behalf of the Exeter branch of the Spastics Society. The centre offered both residential and community care services to children with "a handicapping condition". By 1982 it offered 30 beds, with 15-20 occupied on a typical night. Facilities were provided on long term as well as short-term respite or even a "babysitting" basis. Around 200 families were users of the service. The service also offered baby and pre-school play groups, parent and family support groups, as well as clinics and specialised primary care for those with challenging conditions. A new facility called the Brimblecombe Wing was opened in 1971 by HRH Duchess of Kent. The Honeylands centre was frequently mentioned as an example of best practice management for children with learning difficulties. Closure The healthcare facility was closed in 2012, although the Vranch House School remains operational on another part of the site. References
Hippodromen

Der er for få eller ingen kildehenvisninger i denne artikel, hvilket er et problem. Du kan hjælpe ved at angive troværdige kilder til de påstande, som fremføres i artiklen. Hippodromen er en bygning på hjørnet af Charing Cross Road og Leicester Square i City of Westminster, London. Navnet har været benyttet til mange forakellige teatre og music halls, og London Hippodrome er en af de få overlevende. Navnet hippodrome stammer fra dyreforestillinger der udgjorde en betragtelig del af underholdningen. Hippodrome som teater (1909-1951) I 1909 blev bygningen rekonstrueret af Matcham som gjorde det til koncertsal og teater med 1340 pladser. Det var her Tchaikovskys Svanesøen havde sin engelske premiere, opført af den russiske ballet i 1910. I 1919 kunne man i bygningen opleve Englands første officielle jazzkoncert med jazzbandet Dixieland. I oktober 1947 havde 12-årige Julie Andrews, kendt fra musicalen ’Sound of Music' sin debut i bygningen. Talk of the Town (1958-1982) I 1958 blev det oprindelige interiør revet ned og The Hippodrome blev omdannet til en kabaret med tilhørende restaurant, der kom til at hedde "Talk of the Town”. Det blev besøgt af tidens mest eftertragtede kunstnere, herunder optrædener Diana Ross & The Supremes, Judy Garland, Eartha Kitt, Shirley Bassey og The Temptations, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Engelbert Humperdinck, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, Cliff Richard og Stevie Wonder. Hippodrome som natklub (1983-2005) I 1982 og 1983 blev bygningen renoveret endnu engang og genåbnet af Peter Stringfellow som natklubben ”The London Hippodrome”. Den blev senere solgt til selskabet European Leisure og senere selskabet Luminar, hvorefter den mistede sit renommé som natklub indtil 2004, hvor den genvandt sin popularitet. I oktober 2005 mistede natklubben dog sin alkohollicens og i december samme år måtte natklubben lukke helt. Herefter blev bygningen fra tid til anden lejet ud til private- og firma arrangementer. I sommeren 2009 begyndte man at restaurere bygningen endnu engang, denne gang med henblik på at åbne et kasino. Restaureringen forventes færdig i slutningen af 2011. The Hippodrome Kasino (2011- ) I restaureringen af The Hippodrome, der skal laves om til kasino, benytter man Frank Matchams oprindelige tegninger. Det nye Hippodrome-kasino vil være åbent 24 timer i døgnet, huse 30 spilleborde, 150 spillemaskiner, et lokale dedikeret til kortspil, et high-stakes spillelokale, en restaurant, fem barer og meget mere. Den gamle kabaret med plads til 180 tilskuere genåbnes. The Hippodrome Casino London lancerer et online gaming site i januar 2011.

Stevens Park, Quarry Bank

Stevens Park is a park of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, in Quarry Bank, West Midlands, England. Description The park was donated in 1922 by the local industrialist Ernest Stevens to the people of Quarry Bank. The area of the park is about 7 hectares (17 acres). There are many areas of managed grass, including a football pitch; there are two tennis courts, a children's play area, a skate park, a wildflower area, an exercise area, and a bandstand. Peace Memorial The Peace Memorial, within the park, is a memorial to the 148 members of the local community who died in the First World War. Ernest Stevens contributed most of the cost, and he designated it as a Peace Memorial. It was designed by Alfred Long, who had an architectural practice in West Bromwich, and the sculpture was created by George Edward Wade. It was unveiled and dedicated in October 1931 by the Dean of Worcester, William Moore Ede. After the Second World War, the names of 50 men who died were added; the name of a soldier who died in Afghanistan was later added. The monument, a more than life-sized figure of Christ, facing west, stands on a tall pylon of Portland stone; to the rear is the memorial wall. A low stone wall and railing surrounds the site. The memorial and garden are Grade II listed. Restoration Dudley Council and Friends of Stevens Park were awarded funding from Parks for People (National Lottery Heritage Fund and National Lottery Community Fund) towards restoration and development work, which was completed in 2021. Improvements included restoration of footpaths and the bandstand, and new access to the memorial within the Peace Garden. Tintern House (formerly the White House) was restored and extended to create a community café and meeting room. The Emily Jordan Foundation, a charity working to support people with learning disabilities, will operate from the building, and a range of activities and events will be delivered from the park. Princess Diana Visit to Brierley Hill 1985 On 23rd May 1985, Princess Diana visited Royal Brierley Crystal company in Brierley Hill. After her visit she departed from Stevens Park by helicopter References
DIDO

Ein Reaktor vom Typ DIDO ist ein mit schwerem Wasser moderierter und gekühlter Forschungsreaktor. Der Name DIDO ist von D2O, der chemischen Formel für schweres Wasser, abgeleitet. Schwerwassermoleküle bestehen aus zwei Deuterium-Atomen (D) und Sauerstoff (O). Schreibt man D2O als DDO und spricht das erste D englisch („Di“) aus, ergibt sich die Reaktorbezeichnung Di-DO oder DIDO. Ziel dieser Art von Forschungsreaktoren war ein möglichst hoher Fluss von Neutronen, die dann für Experimente genutzt wurden. Graphit umgab als Neutronenreflektor den Reaktorkern. Reaktoren der DIDO-Klasse Weltweit gab bzw. gibt es sechs Reaktoren der DIDO-Klasse, von denen Anfang 2007 der letzte abgeschaltet wurde: HIFAR (High Flux Australian Reactor), Australien, Abschaltung am 30. Januar 2007 Forschungsreaktor Jülich 2 (FRJ-2) am Forschungszentrum Jülich, Abschaltung am 2. Mai 2006 DR-3 im Risø-Forschungszentrum, Dänemark, Abschaltung am 26.

DIDO (nuclear reactor)

DIDO was a materials testing nuclear reactor at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell, Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom. It used enriched uranium metal fuel, and heavy water as both neutron moderator and primary coolant. There was also a graphite neutron reflector surrounding the core. In the design phase, DIDO was known as AE334 after its engineering design number. DIDO was designed to have a high neutron flux, largely to reduce the time required for testing of materials intended for use in nuclear power reactors. This also allowed for the production of intense beams of neutrons for use in neutron diffraction. DIDO was shut down in 1990 and is under planning for decommissioning. In all, six DIDO class reactors were constructed based on this design: DIDO, first criticality 1956. PLUTO, also at Harwell, first criticality 1957. HIFAR (Australia), first criticality January 1958. Dounreay Materials Testing Reactor (DMTR) at Dounreay Nuclear Power Development Establishment in Scotland, first criticality May 1958. DR-3 at Risø National Laboratory (Denmark), first criticality January 1960. FRJ-II at Jülich Research Centre (Germany), first criticality 1962. HIFAR was the last to shut down, in 2007.

DIDO

DIDO era un reactor nuclear del Atomic Energy Research Establishment de Harwell, Oxfordshire en el Reino Unido. Utilizaba como combustible metal de uranio enriquecido, y agua pesada tanto como moderador de neutrones y refrigerante primario. También disponía de reflector de neutrones de grafito que rodeaba el núcleo. En la fase de diseño, DIDO fue denominado AE334 de acuerdo con su número de diseño de ingeniería. DIDO fue concebido para tener un alto flujo de neutrones, lo suficientemente grande para reducir el tiempo requerido para probar los materiales que se pretendían utilizar en los reactores de energía nuclear. Esto también permitía la producción de intensos rayos de neutrones para uso en la difracción de neutrones. En total, se construyeron seis reactores de tipo DIDO: DIDO. HIFAR (Australia). PLUTO, también en Harwell. Reactor de Prueba de Materiales Dounreay (DMTR) en el Establecimiento de Investigación Dounreay en Escocia. Uno en Forschungszentrum Jülich (Alemania).

DIDO (réacteur nucléaire)

DIDO est un réacteur nucléaire d'essai de matériaux à l'Atomic Energy Research Establishment à Harwell dans le comté d'Oxfordshire au Royaume-Uni. Il utilisait comme combustible de l'uranium métal enrichi et de l'eau lourde à la fois comme modérateur de neutrons et comme caloporteur primaire. Le cœur était également entouré d'un réflecteur de neutrons en graphite. Dans la phase de conception, DIDO était connu sous le nom de AE334 d'après son numéro de conception technique. DIDO a été conçu pour fonctionner avec un flux de neutrons élevé, en grande partie pour réduire le temps nécessaire aux essais de matériaux destinés à être utilisés dans les réacteurs nucléaires. Cette conception a également permis la production de faisceaux intenses de neutrons et le réacteur a donc pu être utilisé pour des analyses par diffraction de neutrons. Le réacteur DIDO a été mis à l'arrêt en 1990. Le démantèlement des installations primaires devrait être achevé en 2023, le démantèlement du réacteur en 2031 et le démantèlement final du site en 2064. Au total, six réacteurs de type DIDO ont été construits : DIDO, première divergence en 1956 PLUTO (en), également à Harwell, première divergence en 1957 HIFAR (en) (Australie), première divergence en janvier 1958, fermé en 2007 Dounreay Materials Test Reactor (en) (DMTR) à Dounreay Nuclear Power Development Establishment en Écosse, première divergence en mai 1958, fermé en 1969 DR-3 au Laboratoire national Risø (Danemark), première divergence en janvier 1960 FRJ-II au Centre de recherche de Juliers (Allemagne), première divergence en 1962, fermé en 2006.

DIDO

DIDO — ядерный реактор для испытаний материалов в Исследовательском центре атомной энергии (UK Atomic Energy Authority, UKAEA) в Харвелле, Оксфордшир, Великобритания. Впервые достиг критической мощности в 1956 году, выведен из эксплуатации в 1990 году. Использовал топливо из сплава обогащенного урана с алюминием и тяжелую воду в качестве замедлителя нейтронов и теплоносителя первого контура. Вокруг активной зоны находился графитовый отражатель нейтронов массой около 17 т. На этапе проектирования DIDO был известен как AE334 по номеру инженерного проекта. Первоначальная тепловая мощность реактора составляла 10 МВт, впоследствии она была увеличена до 26 МВт. Активность реактора составляла 17 ТБк. Основные радиоактивные изотопы — C-14 и тритий. DIDO был спроектирован для достижения интенсивного потока нейтронов, в основном для сокращения времени, необходимого для испытания материалов, предназначенных для использования в ядерных энергетических реакторах. Это также позволило производить интенсивные пучки нейтронов для использования в экспериментах по дифракции нейтронов. Реактор был остановлен в 1990 году. В том же году выгружено ядерное топливо. В настоящее время реактор находится на третьем этапе деактивации в ожидании распада изотопа Co-60. Предполагается, что вывод из эксплуатации основных объектов будет завершен в 2023 г., вывод реактора из эксплуатации — в 2031 г., а окончательная расчистка площадки — в 2064 г. Всего по этой конструкции было построено шесть реакторов: DIDO, первый пуск в 1956 г. PLUTO, также в Харвелле, первый пуск в 1957 году. HIFAR (Австралия), первый пуск в январе 1958 г. Реактор для испытаний материалов в Доунрее (DMTR) на предприятии по развитию ядерной энергетики Доунри в Шотландии, первый пуск в мае 1958 года. DR-3 в Национальной лаборатории Рисё (Дания), первый пуск в январе 1960 г. FRJ-II в исследовательском центре Юлих (Германия), первый пуск в 1962 г. HIFAR закрылся последним в 2007 году.

Clarendon Building

Clarendon Building ist ein neoklassizistisches Verwaltungsgebäude der University of Oxford und befindet sich im Stadtzentrum Oxfords in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Bodleian Library und dem Sheldonian Theatre. Das Gebäude wurde 1715 fertiggestellt und wird als Bauwerk mit außerordentlicher Bedeutung gelistet. Das Gebäude verdankt seinen Namen der Tatsache, dass es teilweise durch die Gewinne aus dem Werk History of the Great Rebellion von Lord Clarendon über den Englischen Bürgerkrieg bezahlt wurde, dessen Sohn der Universität das Urheberrecht verlieh. Geschichte Bis ins 18. Jahrhundert befanden sich die Druckmaschinen der Oxford University Press (OUP) im Kellergeschoss des Sheldonian Theatre, wo sie während Veranstaltungen jedoch nicht genutzt werden konnten. Aufgrund des steigenden Bedarfs entschied die Universität schließlich, ein neues Gebäude eigens für die OUP zu errichten. Als Architekt wurde Nicholas Hawksmoor verpflichtet, der Bau des Gebäudes begann 1711 und endete 1715. Als die OUP 1820 ein neues Gebäude in der Walton Street bezog, nutzte die Universität das Clarendon Building fortan als Verwaltungsgebäude. 1975 wurde das Gebäude der Bodleian Library übergeben, die es nun ebenfalls als Verwaltungsgebäude nutzt.

Clarendon Building

The Clarendon Building is an early 18th-century neoclassical building of the University of Oxford. It is in Broad Street, Oxford, England, next to the Bodleian Library and the Sheldonian Theatre and near the centre of the city. It was built between 1711 and 1715 and is now a Grade I listed building. History Until the early 18th century, the printing presses of the Oxford University Press (OUP) were in the basement of the Sheldonian Theatre. This meant that the compositors could not work when the Theatre was in use for ceremonies. Therefore, the University commissioned a new building to house the OUP. Nicholas Hawksmoor produced a neoclassical design, construction started in 1711 and it was completed in 1715. The builder and sculptor was William Townesend of Oxford. The building was funded largely from the proceeds of the commercially successful History of the Great Rebellion by the 1st Earl of Clarendon, whose legacy later paid for the building of the Clarendon Laboratory in Oxford as well. In the 1820s, the OUP moved to new premises in Walton Street, after which the University used the Clarendon Building for administrative purposes. In 1975, the building was transferred to the Bodleian Library, for which it now provides office and meeting space for senior members of staff. Student occupation On 22 January 2009, student demonstrators occupied part of the Clarendon Building for seven hours, following similar protests at other UK universities. The demonstrators called for the University to condemn Israel's role in the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict and to cancel a lecture series at Balliol College inaugurated by Shimon Peres. The protestors ended their protest after an agreement with the Senior Proctor. References Further reading Sherwood, Jennifer; Pevsner, Nikolaus (1974). Oxfordshire. The Buildings of England.

Clarendon Building

Clarendon Building är en nyklassicistisk byggnad från tidigt 1700-tal vid University of Oxford. Den ligger på Broad Street nära korsningen med Catte Street i centrala Oxford intill Bodleian Library och Sheldonian Theatre. Byggnaden uppfördes mellan 1711 och 1715 efter ritningar av Nicholas Hawksmoor. Den är idag statligt byggnadsminne. Historia Fram till början av 1700-talet fanns tryckpressarna från Oxford University Press (OUP) i källaren på Sheldonian Theatre. Detta innebar att tryckarna inte kunde arbeta när teatern användes för ceremonier. Därför beställde universitetet en ny byggnad för att hysa OUP. Nicholas Hawksmoor skapade en nyklassicistisk design, byggnationen påbörjades 1711 och den färdigställdes 1715. Byggaren och skulptören var William Townesend från Oxford. Byggnaden finansierades till stor del av intäkterna från den kommersiellt framgångsrika verket över det engelska inbördeskriget, History of the Great Rebellion av den förste earlen av Clarendon, vars arv senare även finansierade byggandet av Clarendon Laboratory i Oxford. På 1820-talet flyttade OUP till nya lokaler på Walton Street, varefter universitetet använde Clarendon Building för administrativa ändamål. År 1975 flyttades byggnaden till Bodleian Library, där den nu tillhandahåller kontors- och mötesutrymmen för seniora medarbetare.

Aviva Building

The Aviva Building is an office building in the city centre of York, in England. The building lies by the River Ouse, on a prominent site in the centre of the historic city. It was designed by the Hurd Rolland Partnership, led by Brian Paul. Paul initially proposed a modern building, based around "tumble down masonry cubes" which would create a traditional skyline. The York Civic Trust successfully argued for a more traditional design, including gables and windows with mullions and transoms. The building is six storeys high along the river, and four storeys along Tanner Row. It has an octagonal tower. The river and Tanner's Moat facades are faced in Magnesian Limestone, and John Brooke Fieldhouse describes it as the city's only post-World War II building to be faced largely with quarried stone. The Tanner Row and rear facades are of brick. The ground floor is rusticated, and there are string courses at the first- and third-floor levels. At the rear, there is a rooftop car park. The building was completed in 1993. Patrick Nuttgens wrote approvingly of the design as fitting in with the city's heritage, but Peter Davey writing in the Architectural Review criticised its facadism. The building originally housed the regional headquarters of the General Accident insurance company. Following a series of mergers, it became the headquarters of Aviva. In 2018, the stonework was cleaned. References
