Moonstone Beach

Moonstone Beach was a tourist attraction in the beach community of Redondo Beach, California from the late 1880s to the early 1920s. Historical attraction Storms had deposited the moonstones along the beach from the Hermosa Beach city boundary south to about Diamond Street in Redondo Beach. Moonstones belong to the mineral family of feldspars that provide almost two-thirds of all stones on Earth. As the City of Redondo Beach took shape, visitors day-tripping from Los Angeles as well as tourists from the East Coast gathered the moonstones from the many mounds of gemstones washed ashore. It was a popular pastime for amateurs and gemologists alike. Although not very attractive in their natural state, the stones could be cut and polished into beautiful jewelry. One such case involved a local carpenter who sent a moonstone brooch in 1911 to his fiancé living in New York City. The carpenter persuaded his fiancé to join him in Southern California as his bride as he bragged about the beautiful moonstones washing up on the local beaches. Over-harvesting and decline Builders soon found that the stones were useful for more than just jewelry. The sand and stones became components of streets, sidewalks and foundations. It is believed that 10,000 loads of the stones were crushed and used in the foundation of the Southern California Edison plant built in Redondo Beach in 1907. At the urging of the Redondo Beach Chamber, the Los Angeles & Redondo Railway Co. served notice to companies hauling away the sand and stones to discontinue the practice. The desire was to preserve the Moonstone Beach as a tourist attraction. Much of the damage had already been done. With the addition of breakwaters, dredging, and a harbor in the late 1950s, the contour of the Redondo Beach waterfront has changed and moonstones are no longer deposited along its shores. Legacy Due to the popularity of the gemstones, local streets were named to honor Moonstone Beach in the late 1880s. Beginning just south of the popular beach, streets running east–west feature gemstone names alphabetically such as Agate, Beryl, Carnelian, Diamond, Emerald, Garnet, Jasper, Opal, Pearl, Ruby, Sapphire, and Topaz. In commemoration of the popular beach, the City of Redondo Beach has designated a small parcel of land within the harbor as Moonstone Park.

Pescadero Creek County Park

Pescadero Creek Park, located near Loma Mar, San Mateo County, California, United States, is operated by the San Mateo County Department of Parks. The park complex of 8,020 acres (32.5 km2) also includes the neighboring Memorial, Sam McDonald and Heritage Grove parks. The park borders Portola Redwoods State Park with seamless trails, and connects to Big Basin Redwoods State Park via a trail easement across private lands. History In the 1970s, there was a plan to dam and flood the valley, but that was opposed by the general public. Then a plan by the county to develop the park with facilities such as campgrounds, visitor center, picnic grounds, trails and interpretive programs was also opposed and cancelled. The park is developed with basic campsites and trails developed originally by Scouts, plus the original logging roads now left as fire roads. Setting The park is part of a larger group of county parks known as the Pescadero-Memorial Park Complex, formed by nearby land acquisitions: Memorial Park (1924) Sam McDonald County Park (acquired 1958, established 1970) Heritage Grove Redwood Preserve Pescadero Creek County Park (acquired 1968) They are adjacent to Portola Redwoods State Park and close to several areas preserved by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, including the Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve and the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve. Pescadero Creek Park sits atop a deposit of natural gas and oil. Natural gas occasionally bubbles up through seams near Hoffman Creek producing a strong gas odor. Crude oil pools up in the channel of Tarwater Creek, and seeps into Jones Gulch Creek staining the rocks. Pescadero Creek The park is dominated by the Pescadero Creek, which provides winter habitat for steelhead trout, and a redwood forest with 26 miles of trails. Horseback riding is also popular here, and many use Jack Brook Horse Camp in San McDonald Park to connect. Hike-in camps are available to backpackers. Hiking trails that cross the Pescadero Creek do not have bridges (stepping stones provided), though the fire road crossings are bridged.

Old Berkeley City Hall

Old Berkeley City Hall, also known as the Maudelle Shirek Building, is a historic building in the Civic Center neighborhood of Berkeley, California, U.S.. It was originally located at 2134 Grove Street (now 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way). It has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places under the name "City Hall" since September 11, 1981; and listed as a Berkeley Landmark by the city since December 15, 1975. It is one of the contributing buildings to the Berkeley Historic Civic Center District. History The design of the Berkeley City Hall was derived from the Town Hall at Tours, France, designed by Victor Laloux. The building design by architects John Bakewell Jr., and Arthur Brown Jr. for the old city hall was selected as the winner of a 1907 competition to replace the original Town Hall, which had burned to the ground in 1904 (designed by Samuel and Joseph Cather Newsom, 1884). A few years later in 1915, the same two architects designed San Francisco City Hall, which has similar features. The Old City Hall is the keystone of the Berkeley Civic Center, which was inspired by the concepts of the City Beautiful movement, emphasizing broad vistas and important public buildings grouped around a central open space or park. In 1977, the city offices were moved to 2180 Milvia Street, which resulted in the name "old city hall". The fate of the old city hall building has been in limbo since 2002, when Berkeley voters rejected a bond to repair it. In 2007, the name of the building was changed to the Maudelle Shirek Building after former Vice Mayor and eight-term City Council member Maudelle Shirek.

Cada any, l'American Film Institute estableix la classificació de les 100 millors pel·lícules estatunidenques de la història. Es tracta del top 100 de l'American Film Institute. Història L'American Film Institute va ser fundat per un mandat presidencial anunciat en 1965 al Rose Garden de la Casa Blanca pel llavors president Lyndon B. Johnson - per establir una organització nacional de les arts per preservar el llegat del patrimoni del cinema estatunidenc, educar la pròxima generació de cineastes i honrar els artistes i el seu treball. Dos anys més tard, el 1967, l'AFI va ser establert, recolzat pel National Endowment for the Arts, l'Associació Cinematogràfica d'Amèrica i la Fundació Ford.

L'institut es va mudar al seu campus actual de 8 hectàrees a Hollywood el 1981. El programa d'entrenament cinematogràfic va créixer per convertir-se en l'AFI Conservatory, una escola acreditada de postgrau. AFI va traslladar les seves exhibicions de cinema del Centre Kennedy a l'històric AFI Silver Theater and Cultural Center, que ara celebra els seus cèlebres festivals - AFI Fest i AFI Docs - fent així d'AFI l'expositor de cinema sense ànim de lucre més gran al món.

Američki filmski institut

Američki filmski institut (eng. American Film Institute, AFI) neprofitna je organizacija osnovana 1967. godine u Washingtonu, D.C. Glavna ideja iza osnivanja bila je očuvati američku filmsku baštinu i istovremeno stvarati prostor u kojem će se obrazovati nova generacija filmskih stvaralaca. Inicijativu za pokretanje dao je tadašnji predsjednik Lyndon B. Johnson, a potporu je pružila Nacionalna zaklada za umjetnost (National Endowment for the Arts). Obrazovanje Najpoznatiji obrazovni program AFI-ja je AFI Conservatory, otvoren 1969. u Los Angelesu. Radi se o dvogodišnjem programu za redatelje, scenariste, snimatelje, montažere, dizajnere produkcije i producenate. Program je praktično orijentiran – studenti rade na kratkim filmovima i uče kroz stvarne produkcije. Među bivšim studentima su redatelji kao što su David Lynch, Terrence Malick i Darren Aronofsky. Očuvanje filmske baštine Od samog početka AFI je naglasak stavio na očuvanje starih filmova i arhivske građe. Tijekom 1970-ih i 1980-ih prikupljeno je i restaurirano na stotine filmskih naslova, od nijemih filmova do klasika iz zlatnog doba Hollywooda. Danas se AFI smatra važnim mjestom za istraživače i povjesničare filma. AFI liste Institut je posebno poznat po svojim listama najboljih američkih filmova i glumaca. Najpoznatija je „AFI’s 100 Years...100 Movies“ objavljena 1998., a zatim ažurirana 2007. godine. Osim te, objavili su i popise najboljih filmskih junaka i zlikovaca, ljubavnih filmova, komedija i filmskih pjesama. Ove liste često izazivaju rasprave među filmskim kritičarima i publikom, ali su postale važan pokazatelj što se smatra klasičnim američkim filmom. Festival Svake godine AFI organizira AFI Fest, međunarodni filmski festival u Los Angelesu. Festival traje nekoliko dana i prikazuje širok spektar filmova – od nezavisnih američkih produkcija do filmova iz cijelog svijeta. Ulaz na projekcije često je besplatan, što festival čini dostupnim široj publici. Osim Festivala, AFI je organizirao i AFI Docs, festival dokumentarnog filma koji se održavao u Washingtonu, D.C.

American Film Institute

L'American Film Institute è un'organizzazione indipendente no-profit creata dalla National Endowment for the Arts, che fu fondata da George Stevens Jr. nel 1967, quando il Presidente degli Stati Uniti d'America Lyndon B. Johnson firmò il National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act. Storia L'American Film Institute concentra la sua opera sull'insegnamento, mediante l'AFI Conservatory, e sulla conservazione di vecchie pellicole, soggette a deterioramento con il tempo. Contrariamente al suo nome in realtà l'AFI non opera solamente sui film, ma anche sulla televisione. Dal 1998, anno corrispondente al centesimo anniversario del primo film americano, l'AFI stila annualmente le AFI 100 Years... series, per celebrare e promuovere l'interesse nella storia del cinema. Life Achievement Award Dal 1973 l'AFI assegna il Life Achievement Award a un individuo che, con la propria carriera nel cinema o nella televisione, abbia significativamente contribuito all'arricchimento della cultura americana. Il premio alla carriera a Julie Andrews avrebbe dovuto esserle consegnato nel 2020, ma, vista la situazione provocata dalla pandemia di COVID-19, la cerimonia fu posticipata inizialmente al 2021 e poi, definitivamente, al 9 giugno 2022. Il premio alla carriera a Nicole Kidman, previsto per il 2023, è stato posticipato all'anno successivo a causa dello sciopero del SAG-AFTRA svoltosi dal mese di luglio al mese di novembre. Record La prima donna a ricevere l'American Film Institute Life Achievement Award è stata Bette Davis nel 1977. Il primo non americano a ricevere il Life Achievement Award nel 1979 è stato Alfred Hitchcock, nato nel Regno Unito. Il primo, e ad oggi unico, compositore ad aver ricevuto il Life Achievement Award è stato John Williams nel 2016. La persona più anziana a ricevere il premio è stata Lillian Gish all'età di 91 anni, mentre il più giovane è stato Tom Hanks all'età di 46 anni.
