Berkeley Square

Berkeley Square (/bɑrkliː/) è una piazza nel West End di Londra, nella Città di Westminster. È stata originariamente costruita a metà del XVIII secolo dall'architetto William Kent. La piazza prende il nome da Berkeley, Gloucestershire, la cui omonima famiglia nobile fece costruire Berkeley House, non lontana dalla piazza fino al 1733, anno della sua distruzione a causa di un incendio. Storia Berkeley Square era in origine una zona prevalentemente residenziale, mentre ora solo un lato della piazza è impiegato per le abitazioni, che sono tra le più ricercate. Dalla quantità limitata e dalla grande richiesta ne è conseguito un aumento del prezzo, uno dei più alti sul mercato immobiliare. Al centro della piazza è presente la fontana realizzata nel 1865 dallo scultore preraffaellita Alexander Munro. I platani orientali sono tra i più antichi di Londra, piantati nel 1789. Gli edifici intorno alla piazza sono stati progettati prevalentemente da Robert Adam, di cui si ricorda Lansdowne House (sede dal 1935 del Lansdowne Club e del Club di Morton, tra i club privati più esclusivi di Londra).

Berkeley Square /ˈbɑrkliː/ är ett torg i West End, i den brittiska huvudstaden London i City of Westminster. Det ritades i mitten av 1700-talet av arkitekten William Kent. Torget är uppkallat efter den förnäma Gloucestershirefamiljen med samma namn som bodde i Berkeley House, vilket stod intill torget fram till 1733. Huset var deras residens i London när de inte bodde i sitt hem i Gloucestershire, Berkeley Castle. Träden som omger torget är bland de äldsta i centrala London och planterades 1789. Gunter's Tea Shop, dock grundat under ett annat namn år 1757, återfinns också här. Torget i populärkulturen Gengångaren på Berkeley Square, film från 1933 med Leslie Howard.

Haywards Heath Town Hall

Haywards Heath Town Hall is a municipal building in Boltro Road in Haywards Heath, a town in West Sussex, in England. The building accommodates the offices and meeting place of Haywards Heath Town Council. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with the opening of the London and Brighton Railway, a local board was established in Haywards Heath in 1872. After the local board was succeeded by Haywards Heath Urban District Council in 1894, the new council decided to commission dedicated council offices. The site it selected was on South Road, just to the east of Victoria Park. The new offices were designed in the Jacobean style, built in brick with a cement render finish and were completed in the early 20th century. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of four bays: there were round headed doorways in the outer bays, a segmental headed opening for the fire engine in the second bay, a round headed mullioned window in the third bay, and a bi-partite window in the stepped gable above. After the original offices on South Road became inadequate, the council sought larger premises. A large house, known as Oaklands on Oaklands Road, which had been built for a Brighton bookseller, Harry Treacher, in 1866, became available when a subsequent owner, a businessman, Sir James Bradford, died in April 1930. Oaklands went on to become the headquarters of the enlarged Cuckfield Urban District Council in 1934, and, following local government re-organisation in 1974, it became the headquarters of Mid Sussex District Council. In the mid-1980s, Haywards Heath Town Council decided to commission its own offices and meeting place. The site they selected was on the west side of Boltro Road. The new building was designed in the Neo-Georgian style, built in red brick and was completed in 1990. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of seven bays facing onto Boltro Road. The central bay featured a portico formed by a pair of Ionic order columns supporting an entablature and a balcony with iron railings; there was a French door on the first floor. The other bays were fenestrated by casement windows. Internally, the principal rooms were the various offices for council officers, four meeting rooms, and the council chamber. The building was subsequently licensed to host weddings and civil partnership ceremonies. The football manager, Matt Beard, married his partner, Debbie, there in around 2010. In August 2014, a marble plaque was installed under the portico to commemorate the life of the locally-born soldier, Sergeant Arthur George Knight of the 10th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at the Villers-lès-Cagnicourt during the First World War. The Princess Royal visited the town hall and met with civic officials in October 2020. References

Dartford Civic Centre

Dartford Civic Centre is a municipal building in Home Gardens in Dartford, a town in Kent, in England. The building accommodates the offices and meeting place of Dartford Borough Council. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with the engineering and paper making industries, a local board was established in Dartford in 1850. After the local board was succeeded by Dartford Urban District Council in 1894, the new council sought accommodation for its offices and meetings. It acquired and converted a large 18th century house at 45 High Street, also known as Bank House or Home House, in 1910. The property at 45 High Street continued to serve as the headquarters of the council after it was incorporated as Dartford Borough Council in 1933. In the early 1970s, the directors of a major employer in the local area, Hall-Thermotank, decided to commission offices of their own. The site they selected, on the north side of Home Gardens, had previously been used as a coal depot. The new building was designed in the modern style, built in concrete with red brick facings and was completed in 1975. The main frontage of the five-storey building faced onto Home Gardens with an additional wing stretching out to the rear at the east end. The building was faced with alternating bands of red brick and white-framed casement windows. The main entrance, formed by a pair of columns supporting a canopy, was established at the rear of the wing facing Home Gardens. After Hall-Thermotank was acquired by APV in 1976, the building fell vacant and the council moved into the building in 1985. Internally, the principal new room established in the building, following conversion for municipal use, was the council chamber. In 1991, an emergency centre was added to the building, filling in an area of ground floor car park, over which the original building had been supported on stilts. In 2012, a man was arrested following an armed siege at the building. Works of art in the building include a portrait of the former chairman of Dartford Urban District Council, Alderman Alfred John Penney, and the former owner of J & E Hall, Everard Hesketh, both painted by May Bridges Lee.

Schwebefähre Warrington

Die Schwebefähre Warrington (englisch: Warrington Transporter Bridge oder Bank Quay Transporter Bridge) über den Mersey ist eine stählerne Schwebefähre mit einer Spannweite von 61 Metern. Der Brückenträger ist 9,15 m breit und befindet sich 23 m über dem höchsten Wasserstand. Die Gesamtlänge beträgt 103,3 m. Die Schwebefähre wurde im Jahr 1915 erbaut und besteht noch heute, auch wenn sie seit etwa 1964 außer Betrieb ist. Sie wurde von William Henry Hunter entworfen und durch William Arrol & Co. gebaut. Die Schwebefähre Warrington befindet sich in Privatbesitz und verbindet zwei Teile einer großen chemischen Fabrik. Ursprünglich diente sie dazu, Eisenbahnwaggons mit bis zu 18 Tonnen Gewicht zu transportieren; 1940 wurde sie für den Transport von Straßenfahrzeugen umgebaut. Im Jahr 1953 wurde ihre Tragkraft auf 30 Tonnen erhöht. Diese Brücke wird von English Heritage als Grade-II*-Bauwerk geführt und ist auf Grund ihres schlechten Zustands zurzeit im Buildings at Risk Register verzeichnet. Sie ist zugleich ein Scheduled Monument. Einzelnachweise R. W. Rennison: Civil Engineering Heritage: Northern England. 2. Auflage.

Warrington Transporter Bridge

The Warrington Transporter Bridge (or Bank Quay Transporter Bridge) is a structural steel transporter bridge across the River Mersey in Warrington, Cheshire, England. Design It was designed by William Henry Hunter and built by Sir William Arrol & Co. The bridge has a span of 200 ft (61 m), is 30 ft (9.1 m) wide, 76 ft (23 m) feet above high water level, with an overall length of 339 ft (103 m) feet and a total height of 89 ft (27 m). History It was constructed in 1916–17 and fell into disuse in approximately 1964. The bridge was constructed to connect the two parts of the large chemical and soap works of Joseph Crosfield and Sons. It was originally designed to carry rail vehicles up to 18 long tons (18 tonnes) in weight, and was converted for road vehicles in 1940. In 1953, it was further modified to carry loads of up to 30 long tons (30 tonnes). It was the second of two transporter bridges across the Mersey at Warrington. The first was erected in 1906 and opened in 1907 slightly to the north of the existing bridge and was later transformed into a pipeline bridge, before it was demolished. It is one of three remaining such bridges in the UK. Regeneration The bridge is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and because of its poor condition it is on the Heritage at Risk Register. The bridge is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. A local group called Friends of Warrington Transporter Bridge (FoWTB) was formed in April 2015 to act as the independent voice of the bridge. The group is liaising with other interest groups to safeguard the future of the bridge and its industrial heritage status. FoWTB has been featured on the local BBC News programme, North West Tonight and has set up a website for the bridge along with Facebook and Twitter pages. In 2016, the bridge was nominated for the Institution of Civil Engineers North West Heritage Award.

Hängfärjan i Warrington

Hängfärjan i Warrington är en tidigare hängfärja över floden Mersey i Warrington i grevskapet Cheshire i Storbritannien. Den är ett byggnadsminne. Den byggdes 1916 för transporter till och från en cementfabrik. Den användes därefter för biltransporter mellan 1960 och 1964. Det är ett byggnadsminne. Avståndet mellan de 27 meter höga pylonerna är 61 meter. Konstruktionen är 31 meter bred. Historik Det fanns tidigare en annan hängfärja över Mersey strax norr om denna. Den hade byggts 1905, men finns inte kvar idag. Den nyare hängfärjan var avsedd att transportera större laster av kemikalier för kemi- och tvålföretaget Joseph Crosfield and Sons, som bland annat tillverkade tvättmedlet Persil. Fabriken övertogs 1964 av Unilever. Joseph Crosfield and Sons hade en cementfabrik på en halvö som ligger i Merseys meanderslinga i området. Hängfärjan byggdes därför för att transportera järnvägsvagnar för frakt av cement från halvön till järnvägens huvudspår, med bränsle till fabriken som returfrakt. Hängfärjan i Warrington konstruerades av William Henry Hunter (1849-1917), som var chefsingenjör för Manchester Ship Canal. Den byggdes av den skotska anläggningsfirman Sir William Arrol & Co. Den började byggas 1913 och blev färdig 1916. Den byggdes om för att användas för personbilar 1940 och togs ur drift omkring 1964. Mellan 1964 och 1970-talet gjordes underhåll av hängfärjan för att den skulle fungera som nödutväg från området, till dess en vägbro uppförts 1975. Warringtons stadsstyre ansvarar för anläggningen enligt en koncession till 2027, och begränsade reparationer har utförts. En lokal bevarandegrupp bildades 2015.

Centro europeo per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine

Il Centro europeo per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine (CEPMMT; in inglese: European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecast, in sigla ECMWF) è un'organizzazione intergovernativa sostenuta da 20 Stati membri europei e 14 Stati cooperativi. Si trova a Reading, con sede dell'HPC a Bologna in Italia, in uno dei maggiori complessi di supercomputer in Europa. Storia ECMWF è stato fondato nel 1975, nella consapevolezza della necessità di mettere in comune le risorse scientifiche e tecnologiche dei servizi e degli istituti meteorologici europei per la produzione di previsioni del tempo atmosferico a medio termine. Nel Centro lavorano approssimativamente 390 collaboratori e 70 consulenti provenienti dagli Stati membri e dagli Stati cooperatori. La sede centrale è a Reading, nel Regno Unito. Nel 2020 venne stabilito un accordo che prevedeva un nuovo centro a Bologna dotato di super computer che elaborano le previsioni meteorologiche e inoltre la ristrutturazione della Nuova Manifattura Tabacchi in via Stalingrado, secondo un progetto elaborato dallo studio di architettura Gerkan, Marg und Partner (GMP). Obiettivi L'obiettivo di CEPMMT è fornire accurate previsioni meteorologiche globali a medio termine (fino a 15 giorni) e previsioni stagionali fino a 12 mesi. I suoi prodotti vengono forniti ai servizi nazionali europei di previsione del tempo, i quali li utilizzano in particolare per segnalare condizioni di maltempo potenzialmente pericoloso. I principali obiettivi di CEPMMT sono: sviluppo dei metodi numerici per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine; preparazione delle previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine per la distribuzione agli Stati membri; ricerca scientifica e tecnica rivolta al miglioramento di queste previsioni; raccolta e la conservazione dei dati meteorologici (da impiegare anche per la tematica, diversa ma contingua a quella delle previsioni meteorologiche, rappresentata dallo studio del clima).

Europees Centrum voor Weersverwachtingen op Middellange Termijn

Het Europees Centrum voor Weersverwachtingen op Middellange Termijn of het ECMWF (Engels: European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) is een onafhankelijke Europese meteorologische organisatie, gevestigd in Reading bij Londen. De organisatie is opgericht in 1975 en er zijn achttien Europese landen lid, waaronder België (KMI) en Nederland (KNMI). De doelstellingen zijn de ontwikkeling van computermodellen om het gedrag van de atmosfeer na te bootsen en verwachtingen te maken, het verzamelen en opslaan van meteorologische gegevens, het beschikbaar stellen van computerfaciliteiten aan de lidstaten en het geven van onderwijs aan onderzoekers en meteorologen. De supercomputer van het ECMWF is een van de krachtigste van de wereld. De kwaliteit van de verwachtingen (European Prediction System (EPS) is sterk verbeterd en de prognoses tot twee dagen vooruit halen tegenwoordig (2008) een betrouwbaarheid van 95%. Op een termijn van vier dagen ligt de score iets onder 90% en de vijfdaagse verwachting is in 80% van de gevallen bruikbaar. Het ECMWF maakt ook El Niño- en seizoensverwachtingen. Het centrum fungeert momenteel als Vertrouwde Entiteit voor de levering van twee Copernicus-programma’s: het Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) en de Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service Binnen het Centrum werd in 2014 het observatieprogramma CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) gelanceerd. CAMS levert continu gegevens en informatie over de samenstelling van de atmosfeer, voorspelt enkele dagen vooruit, en analyseert retrospectieve gegevensrecords voor de afgelopen jaren. CAMS houdt wereldwijd de luchtvervuiling, zonnestraling, stralingsforcering en broeikasgassen bij. Externe link Officiële website Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service
Europejskie Centrum Średnioterminowych Prognoz Pogody

Europejskie Centrum Średnioterminowych Prognoz Pogody (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, ECMWF) – międzynarodowa organizacja zajmująca się prognozą pogody. W 2006 roku prognoza pogody z ECMWF miała najlepszą sprawdzalność w stosunku do innych modeli numerycznych na świecie i wyprzedzała sprawdzalność prognozy z modelu amerykańskiego GFS o około jeden dzień. ECMWF prognozuje pogodę od 1979 roku. W 2020 roku polska instytucja IMGW uzyskała licencję na dostęp do operacyjnych danych prognostycznych ECMWF. Dzięki umowie od grudnia 2020 roku instytut IMGW na bieżąco otrzymuje wyniki globalnych numerycznych prognoz pogody, które przygotowuje europejska organizacja (średnioterminowe prognozy, prognozy sezonowe). Dyskusja ECMWF produkuje także prognozę krótkoterminową (bo nie można zrobić prognozy średnioterminowej bez prognozy krótkoterminowej), która przypuszczalnie jest lepsza niż większość regionalnych prognoz w Europie. Krótkoterminowa prognoza ECMWF nie jest ogólnie dostępna. ECMWF opracowało także globalną reanalizę danych ER-15 oraz ERA-40. Członkowie Członkami ECMWF są następujące kraje europejskie: Austria, Belgia, Chorwacja, Dania, Estonia, Finlandia, Francja, Niemcy, Grecja, Irlandia, Islandia, Włochy, Luksemburg, Holandia, Norwegia, Portugalia, Hiszpania, Serbia, Słowenia, Szwecja, Szwajcaria, Turcja, Wielka Brytania.
