Darwen Aldridge Community Academy

Darwen Aldridge Community Academy (DACA) is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status in the Blackburn with Darwen borough of Lancashire, England. It specialises in entrepreneurship and is part of the Aldridge Education Multi Academy Trust. History Darwen Aldridge Communuity Academy replaced Darwen Moorland High School in September 2008, opening on the site of the former school at Holden Fold (53.70423°N 2.45873°W﻿ / 53.70423; -2.45873). The academy is sponsored by the Aldridge Foundation and was officially opened by the foundation chairman, Sir Rod Aldridge, on 16 October 2008. Brendan Loughran was appointed the school's first principal. The academy moved to a new purpose-built site in September 2010, located in the Redearth area at the centre of Darwen. The new site features a five-storey main building, a sports hall, a dance/drama studio, a café and office spaces for young entrepreneurs. It was designed by architecture firm Aedas. The new school cost an estimated £49 million, with the controversial clearance of houses in the area of Redearth involving the council in a long legal dispute, including a hearing by the High Court and two public inquiries. Prince William and Catherine Middleton visited the new school to formally open it on 11 April 2011 as part of their final public engagement before their wedding. GCSE results The school saw 57% of students achieve five or more GCSEs at an A* to C Grade in August 2015, which was up from 52% the previous year. Ofsted ratings In its inspection by Ofsted by in January 2013, the school was rated as good overall. The previous inspection in January 2011 had rated the school satisfactory.

Darwin College, Kent

Darwin College is the fourth-oldest college of the University of Kent, an English higher education institution in the United Kingdom. It was opened in 1970. Namesake After much debate, the college was named after Charles Darwin, the biologist. Unusually for a namesake of a Kent college, Darwin had strong connections to the historic county of Kent, having lived in Down House at Downe (now in the London Borough of Bromley) for the last forty years of his life. Other names considered in the lengthy process included: Anselm, after Anselm a former Archbishop of Canterbury Attlee, after Clement Attlee, the post-war prime minister Becket, after Thomas Becket, former Archbishop of Canterbury, murdered in the city's cathedral and subsequently canonised (this was the recommendation of the college's provisional committee but was rejected by the University Senate) Conrad, after the novelist Joseph Conrad who lived near Canterbury and is buried in the city Elgar, after composer Edward Elgar Maitland Marlowe, after playwright Christopher Marlowe Russell, after philosopher Bertrand Russell (this was the recommendation of the Senate but rejected by the Council; Russell's political activism was the cause of much opposition) Tyler, after Peasants' Revolt leader Wat Tyler (after whom Tyler Hill, on which the college stands, is named) The name was eventually decided by a postal ballot of members of the Senate, choosing from a shortlist of Attlee, Conrad, Darwin, Elgar, Maitland, Marlowe and Tyler. Darwin Student Committee (DSC) The Darwin Student Committee (DSC) is a group of students who volunteer their time to make the life of Darwin College students more enjoyable. They meet and discuss issues that concern the students, deal with problems, organise events during Welcome Week, listen to concerns and generally improve the experience of students within the College. Weekly DSC meetings plan college events, such as the Masquerade Ball, discuss issues affecting students, which campaigns to run, and receive and pass on important messages from Kent Union and their sabbatical officers. Since the college opened, there has been an annual vote within the college to elect the student President. Student life Darwin College was home to Origins, a restaurant and bar operated by the University of Kent as part of its campus dining venues. Until 2017, Origins was a Tex-Mex restaurant known for its homemade nachos, fajitas, and burritos. That year, it transitioned into an American smokehouse and barbecue venue, serving dishes such as hanging skewers, burgers, and po’boys. In addition to its food offerings, Origins hosted a regular quiz night on Sundays, a popular karaoke night, and Ruby Tuesdays, the longest-running indie night event on campus. The venue was well-known among students, staff, and visitors. Origins has since closed, and the space is now used for teaching purposes.

Davenant Centre

The Davenant Centre, situated in Whitechapel in the East End of London, England, was a centre of excellence for youth services in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The Davenant Centre was built to remember the community work of the Reverend Ralph Davenant, Rector of Whitechapel, who left a legacy to educate forty boys and thirty girls. A building was first erected on the Whitechapel site of the present Davenant Centre in 1660. A school was built following the death of Reverend Ralph Davenant in 1680 and re-built and expanded in 1818 and 1896. The rear building of the present Davenant Centre has a Grade II Renaissance Style Listing. The Davenant Centre is part of the East End community and was in regular use by voluntary groups in Tower Hamlets.

Davenham Hall

Davenham Hall is a former country house to the southeast of the village of Davenham, Cheshire, England. It was built for Thomas Ravenscroft to replace a timber-framed house called Davenham Lodge. It dates from the middle or the later part of the 18th century, possibly from shortly before 1795, when Ravenscroft died. Substantial additions were made in the early 19th century. It is constructed in stuccoed brick, and has a slate roof. The house is in two storeys with a symmetrical entrance front of six bays. Occupying the middle two bays is a porch with four Tuscan columns and an entablature containing a triglyph. Above this, the central bays protrude slightly forwards and contain two windows, with a pediment above them and a parapet on each side. Figueirdo and Treuherz describe the interior as being "especially fine". The entrance hall contains Grecian plasterwork and a black marble chimneypiece. The drawing room has more delicate plasterwork, and a marble chimneypiece decorated with dancing figures. The central staircase hall is lit by a central dome, and has fan-shaped plasterwork. The staircase has a wrought iron baluster, and the first floor landing has a screen of four Doric columns. The house was converted into a nursing home in 1980. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

Westbury White Horse

Das Westbury White Horse ist ein Scharrbild auf einem Hügel ca. 2 km östlich des Städtchens Westbury (Wiltshire) nahe der Salisbury Plain in England. Es ist das älteste von mehreren weißen Pferden in Wiltshire, aber nicht das älteste Scharrbild in England. Es wurde um 1778 erstellt, angeblich direkt auf einem viel älteren Pferdebildnis aus dem 9. Jahrhundert, das laut Überlieferung zum Andenken a den Sieg Alfreds des Großen über die Dänen in der Schlacht von Edington im Jahr 878 erschaffen wurde. Eine Gravur aus dem Jahr 1806 zeigt ein Pferd, das in die entgegengesetzte Richtung ausgerichtet ist, viel kleiner gewesen als die gegenwärtige Gestalt. Aber das maßgebliche Werk Wiltshire Victoria County History, Band 8 (1965), hält fest: „Es gibt keine Belege für die Existenz eines Pferdes an diesem Ort vor dem frühen 18. Jahrhundert.“ In den 1950er Jahren wurde das Bildnis ein Opfer von Vandalismus. Es wurde damals nur ungenügend repariert, erst im Frühjahr 2007 erfolgte eine Generalsanierung. Das Westbury White Horse war ein Schauplatz für die Dreharbeiten zum Musikvideo des im Jahr 1996 erschienen Songs Breathe von Popsänger Midge Ure. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Westburyi fehér ló

A Westburyi fehér ló (angolul: Westbury White Horse), vagy Bratton fehér ló, egy mészkőbe faragott hatalmas lóalak Nagy-Britannia Wiltshire megyéjében, Westbury közelében. A Salisbury-síkság szélén fekvő, Westburytől 2,4 kilométerre keletre lévő domboldalba vésett figura a geoglifák egy típusa, azaz dombrajz. Története A lóalakot egy lejtős hegyoldalba vájták készítői, így már kilométerekről látszik. A mészkőbe vésett lóról 1742-ből származik a legrégebbi írásos emlék: Francis Wise tiszteletes írt róla könyvében. Mivel korábbi iratok nem említik a lovat, valószínű, hogy a lejtőn fehérlő állatot a 17. században vagy a 18. század elején készítették. Vannak azonban olyan feltételezések is, hogy a lóalak sokkal idősebb, és a közelben lezajlott 878-as edingtoni csatának állít emléket, amelyben Nagy Alfréd király legyőzte a vikingeket. Az biztos, hogy a most látható ló nem ugyanolyan, mint amelyről Wise tiszteletes írt. Az eredeti alak nagyjából harminc méter magas és ugyanolyan hosszú volt, és a mostanival ellentétes irányba nézett, a farka pedig felfelé kunkorodott és villás végű volt. A mostani alakot George Gee, a helyi földesúr, Lord Abingdon intézője alakíttatta ki 1778-ban, mert nem kedvelte az eredeti ló furcsa alakját. Az általa vágatott ló nagyjából 54 méter hosszú, 33 méter magas, és sokkal inkább hasonlít egy valódi állatra, mint elődje. 1853-ban restaurálták az alakot, majd 1873-ban ismét, mert kezdte elveszteni a formáját. Ekkor a körvonalakat kövekkel rakták ki, hogy megakadályozzák az eróziót. 1903-ban és 1936-ban betonnal fogták össze a szélső köveket, majd az 1950-es években az egész lovat lebetonozták. Ezt 1995-ben megismételték. A legutóbb 2006 novemberében festették fehérre a betont. A lovat Brattoni fehér lónak is nevezik, mert a felette lévő csúcson a Bratton Campnek nevezett hegyi erődítmény állt a vaskorban. Wiltshire megyében nyolc hasonló fehér ló látható még, négy másik már eltűnt az idők során.

David Lane tram stop

David Lane is a tram station on Nottingham Express Transit, in the city of Nottingham suburb of Basford. The tram lines here run parallel to the Robin Hood railway line that links Nottingham with Worksop, but there is no corresponding railway station. Both tram and railway lines have two tracks, and the resulting four tracks cross David Lane on a pair of parallel level crossings. The tram stop comprises a pair of side platforms on both sides of the tramway. With the opening of NET's phase two, David Lane is now on the common section of the NET, where line 1, between Hucknall and Chilwell, and line 2, between Phoenix Park and Clifton, operate together. Trams on each line run at frequencies that vary between 4 and 8 trams per hour, depending on the day and time of day, combining to provide up to 16 trams per hour on the common section. Nottingham Express Transit recommend using this stop to change between the Hucknall and Phoenix Park branches, rather than the next station (Highbury Vale) where the two branches diverge. This is the closest tram stop to Basford United's football stadium, Greenwich Avenue. Gallery References External links Media related to David Lane tram stop at Wikimedia Commons

Royal Academy of Dramatic Art

De Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (vaak afgekort tot RADA) is een toneelschool in Bloomsbury (Groot-Londen), en wellicht de meest prestigieuze toneelschool in de Engels-sprekende wereld. De Acadamy of Dramatic Art werd in 1904 opgericht bij Her Majesty's Theatre door Herbert Beerbohm Tree, bekend om zijn spectaculaire Shakespeare-producties. Vanaf 1920 mocht de school officieel het predicaat "Royal" gebruiken. Acteur David Harewood volgde in februari 2024 Sir Kenneth Branagh op als president van de school. Elk jaar neemt RADA 32 nieuwe (bachelor)studenten aan op de acteeropleiding. Er zijn geen educatieve vereisten om aangenomen te worden, dit gebeurt op basis van een zeer goede auditie want de plaatsen zijn zeer beperkt voor de vele studenten die er elk jaar auditie doen (ongeveer 3000 tot 4000 verspreid over een heel jaar). Ongeveer 35 nieuwe studenten worden elk jaar gekozen voor de tweejarige technische toneelopleidingen. Doorheen de jaren is RADA uitgegroeid tot een school waar kwaliteit en creativiteit centraal staan. RADA begeleidt zijn leerlingen ook na het afstuderen zo krijgen ze allemaal een buddy toegewezen (een ex-student) die hen wegwijs maakt in de theaterwereld.
