Iron Mountain Mine

De Iron Mountain Mine, ook bekend als de Richmond Mine at Iron Mountain, is een mijn ten noordwesten van de stad Redding, in het noorden van de Amerikaanse staat Californië. Tussen de jaren 1860 en 1963 is er ijzer, zilver, goud, koper, zink en pyriet ontgonnen. Zuurste water ter wereld Het water in de mijn is uitzonderlijk zuur en is het zuurste water dat in de natuur wordt aangetroffen. In watermonsters die geologen in 1990 en 1991 genomen hebben, is een (negatieve) pH-waarde van −3,6 gemeten. Het water bevat overigens grote hoeveelheden zink, koper en cadmium. De Iron Mountain Mine is een van de giftigste mijnsites in de Verenigde Staten en staat sinds 1983 op de lijst met vervuilde locaties die onder het Superfund-programma gesaneerd worden. In 1994 werd er een waterzuiveringsinstallatie gebouwd en in 2000 bereikte de overheid een overeenkomst met Aventis CropScience (nu onderdeel van Bayer) voor de schoonmaak op lange termijn. De mijn bevindt zich in de Klamath Mountains in Shasta County. Het gebied rond de mijn loopt af naar verschillende waterlopen, die het Spring Creek Reservoir voeden en daarna het Keswick Reservoir, een stuwmeer op de Sacramento River. Het Bureau of Reclamation laat op bepaalde momenten zuur mijnwater uit de Iron Mountain Mine in het Keswick Reservoir lopen, maar alleen wanneer er tegelijkertijd ter verdunning water wordt vrijgelaten uit Shasta Lake. Er is echter ook al ongecontroleerd water gelekt, alsook een teveel aan zuur water, wat kan resulteren in schadelijke hoeveelheden zware metalen in de Sacramento. De lage pH-graad en de vervuiling met zware metalen heeft ertoe bijgedragen dat er nagenoeg geen leven is in delen van Slickrock Creek, Boulder Creek en Spring Creek.

Irvine Spectrum Center

Das Irvine Spectrum Center ist ein Freiluft-Einkaufszentrum in Irvine im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Sein Aufbau ist mit dem einer Fußgängerzone zu vergleichen. Betreiber des Einkaufszentrums ist die Irvine Company, ein Privatunternehmen, das die gesamte Stadt Irvine grundlegend geplant und gebaut hat. Neben rund 130 verschiedenen Geschäften befindet sich im Norden des Zentrums ein Kino mit 21 Filmsälen, welche teilweise das neue IMAX-System unterstützen. Das Einkaufszentrum dient als Kulisse für die Eröffnungsszene der US-amerikanischen Jugend-Sitcom Austin & Ally. Geschichte Das Irvine Spectrum Center soll, wie es der Name schon sagt, Zentrum des Viertels Irvine Spectrum sein. Bereits im Jahre 1985 begannen die entsprechenden Planungen, dieses Viertel zu einem attraktiven Ort zu entwickeln, indem man gleichermaßen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Büros und Wohngebiete schafft. Nachdem schon vier Jahre später die ersten Bürogebäude eröffneten, begannen 1993 die Bauarbeiten für das Einzelhandelszentrum The Entertainment Center at Irvine Spectrum (Abschnitt 1). Im Jahre 1995 wurde das Bauvorhaben beendet und offiziell eröffnet. Auf über 23.000 m² wurden Geschäfte, Restaurants und das bis dahin größte Kino der Vereinigten Staaten geschaffen. 1998 eröffnete bereits der zweite Abschnitt, mit welchem weitere 23.000 m² zum Areal hinzukamen. Der dritte Abschnitt eröffnete im Jahre 2002 und vergrößerte das Einkaufszentrum um weitere 31.000 m². Im gleichen Jahr wurde das heutige Wahrzeichen des Irvine Spectrum Centers errichtet: ein 33 Meter hohes Riesenrad. Im Jahre 2016 wurde die örtliche Filiale des Warenhauses Macy’s geschlossen. Nach dem Abriss des Gebäudes wurden auf dem Areal 30 neue Ladenlokale geschaffen, welche 2018 eröffnen sollen. Dafür investiert die Irvine Company rund 200 Millionen US-Dollar. Ende 2018 soll außerdem ein neues Parkhaus eröffnet werden, welches über 1.500 neue Parkplätze schafft. Gestaltung Die Architektur des Geländes basiert größtenteils auf der spanischen Stadtburg Alhambra. Dieser Einfluss wurde vor allem im zweiten Expansionsabschnitt des Centers deutlich. Im nördlichen Teil des Geländes befindet sich ein über 30 Meter großer Obelisk, welcher Werbung für das Center macht. Zu besonderen Anlässen und Feiertagen wird er entsprechend geschmückt. Der Obelisk verdeckt einen Funkturm, welcher sich in ihm befindet. Zum Spectrum Center gehören neben Geschäften und Gastronomieangeboten auch ein 33 Meter hohes Riesenrad und ein Karussell. 2015 wurde eine 15 Meter hohe Birkenfeige, welche auf dem Gelände des Hauptquartiers der Muttergesellschaft stand, in das Center umgesetzt. Damit sollte ein neuer Platz (plaza) geschaffen werden. Mehrere in den Boden eingelassene LED-Leuchtstreifen umranden den Baum. Diese Leuchtstreifen bilden eine Uhr nach und zeigen somit immer die aktuelle Uhrzeit an. Einzelnachweise

Camron-Stanford House

The Camron-Stanford House is the last of the 19th-century Victorian mansions that once surrounded Lake Merritt in Oakland, California. It was the home to a series of influential families, and in 1907, became the city's first museum. History The home was built in 1876, and its first occupants were William Walker Camron and his wife, Alice (Marsh) Camron. She was the daughter of Dr. John Marsh, who was a California pioneer. Marsh was influential in encouraging wagon trains of settlers to come to California and also in its obtaining independence from Mexico. He owned the 13,000-acre Rancho los Meganos and the large, stone house of John Marsh that he built there, in what is now Marsh Creek State Park, still stands. He was murdered by a disgruntled employee, and as a young woman, Alice received a large inheritance, which she used to purchase the Camron-Stanford house from its builder, Samuel Merritt. Her husband, William Camron, was a deputy sheriff and was active in the Republican Party. He was appointed to a vacant seat on the Oakland City Council, and later became a member of the California State Assembly. Next to occupy the home was the family of David Hewes. He made and lost several fortunes. He is best known for donating one of the golden spikes used in the celebration of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad at Promontory Summit, Utah in 1869. The Josiah Stanford family owned the home from 1882 to 1903. Josiah Stanford was a brother of Leland Stanford, who was one of the founders of the Central Pacific Railroad, which built the portion of the first transcontinental railroad east from Sacramento to Promontory Summit. In 1907, the city of Oakland purchased the Camron-Stanford house and other private residences bordering Lake Merritt. The city razed the other homes and created Lakeside Park. It established the Oakland Museum in the Camron-Stanford house, which occupied the house for the next five decades. The museum merged with the Oakland Art Gallery and the Snow Museum and in 1965, moved to other quarters. However, public interest and donations saved the Camron-Stanford House, and today it is an independent museum. The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 13, 1972. References External links Official website
Chartwell Mansion

The Chartwell Mansion is a Chateauesque mansion in Bel-Air, California. Built in 1933, it is best known for its role as the Clampett family home in the 1960s television sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies. It was the most expensive home for sale in the United States in 2018. History The house was designed by Sumner Spaulding in 1933 in the style of a French chateau. It was built for engineer and contractor Lynn Atkinson, who commissioned the property for his wife. She found it "pretentious", so the couple never lived there. The house, decorated by Henri Samuel, is located on 10 acres (4 hectares). The gardens, designed by François Goffinet, feature cascades, ponds, a grove, a tennis court, swimming pools and pavilions. The estate later was owned by Arnold Kirkeby and then Jerry Perenchio. In 2019 the mansion was sold to Lachlan Murdoch for about $150 million, which was the highest sale price for any house in California history.

Aon Center (Los Angeles)

Aon Center (dříve nazývaná United California Bank Building či First Interstate Tower) je a moderní kancelářský mrakodrap na Wilshire Boulevard v Los Angeles v Kalifornii. Jedná se o černou budovu s bílými hranami. Vlastnosti Měří 262 metrů a má 62 pater. Architektem byl Charles Luckman z The Luckman Partnership. Využití má pro komerční prostory (většinou kanceláře, sídla firem… 1626 m2 na patro). Budova má tvar kvádru (s podstavou 124 × 184 stop, s nepatrným zkosením cca 2 metry v posledním patře) a vzdáleně připomíná někdejší „dvojčata“ Světového obchodního střediska, s kterými má společný i návrh ve formě robustního jádra a ocelových sloupů zpevňující stěny budovy; vícesegmentovou strukturu (spodní a horní segment, kde horní segment je co do konstrukce lehčí a tenčí než ten spodní). Po celém svém výškovém rozsahu má budova čtyři hlavní schodiště a v průměru 6 výtahů s různým dosahem. Srovnání s ostatními budovami Když byl na přelomu let 1973/74 dokončen, byl největší budovou na západ od Mississippi (o 2 m překonal Transamerica Pyramid), ale v roce 1982 jej výškou překonala budova Texas Commerce Tower. Nyní je třetí nejvyšší budovou v Los Angeles (po U.S. Bank Tower, který byl dokončen v roce 1989 a Wilshire Grand Center z roku 2017). Požár 4. května 1988 krátce před půl jedenáctou večer ve 12. patře budovy vznikl požár, který se podařilo (za velikého úsilí a nasazení velkého množství lidí a techniky) uhasit až v 2:19 následujícího dne. Požár byl zkomplikován tím, že nefungoval protipožární systém, který byl v tu dobu ve výstavbě (ke smůle požárníků byl hotov jen z cca 90 %). Bylo i riziko, že se požár nepodaří zkrotit a tím dojde ke ztrátě celé budovy. Oheň zachvátil pět podlaží a škody se vyšplhaly na 50 milionů dolarů. Horší bylo, že zranil 40 lidí a vyžádal si jednu oběť. Byl to nejhorší požár výškové budovy v historii Los Angeles. Toto neštěstí si vynutilo změnu v legislativě, aby všechny výškové budovy měly nainstalovány protipožární systém (předtím to platilo jen pro ty nově postavené).

Aon Center (Los Angeles)

Das Aon Center ist ein 262 Meter hoher, 62-stöckiger Wolkenkratzer in Los Angeles. Es wurde 1974 eröffnet und war das höchste Gebäude in Los Angeles, bis es im Jahre 1990 vom 310 Meter hohen U.S. Bank Tower übertroffen wurde. Seit der Eröffnung des Wilshire Grand Tower 2017 ist es noch das dritthöchste Gebäude der Stadt. Das Gebäude besitzt eine quadratische Grundfläche und eine schwarze Fassade mit weißen Ecken. An der Spitze befindet sich das rote Logo der Aon plc. Am 4. Mai 1988 brach in der 12. Etage ein Feuer aus, wobei eine Person getötet und 40 weitere verletzt wurden. Außerdem wurden fünf Stockwerke zerstört, was einen Schaden von 50 Millionen US-Dollar verursachte. Die anschließenden Reparaturen dauerten vier Monate.

Aon Center (Los Angeles)

Aon Center is a 62-story, 858 ft (262 m) Modernist office skyscraper at 707 Wilshire Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles, California. Site excavation started in late 1970, and the tower was completed in 1973. Designed by Charles Luckman, the rectangular bronze-clad building with white trim is remarkably slender for a skyscraper in a seismically active area. It is the third tallest building in Los Angeles, the fourth tallest in California, and the 58th tallest in the United States. The logo of the Aon Corporation, its anchor tenant, is displayed at the top in red. History Aon Center was originally named the United California Bank Building from its completion in 1973 until 1981, when it became First Interstate Tower. During the 1984 Summer Olympics, the 1984 Olympics logo was displayed on the north and south sides of the building's crown, as First Interstate Bank was a major sponsor of the games. It was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River when built, until 1982 when it was surpassed by the Texas Commerce Tower (now known as JPMorgan Chase Tower) in Houston. Upon its completion in 1973, the building was the tallest in the world outside of New York and Chicago. It remained the tallest building in Los Angeles until 1989, when Library Tower (now U.S. Bank Tower) was completed. Between 1998 and 2001, there were no logos on the building. Shorenstein, which purchased the Aon Center in 2014, sold the building to Carolwood, the firm controlled by Adam Rubin and Andrew Shanfeld, in December 2023. Fire On May 4, 1988, a fire began on the 12th floor just after 10:00 PM; it burned for about four hours. The fire destroyed five floors, injured 40 people, and left an operating engineer dead because the elevator opened onto the burning 12th floor. The fire was so severe because the building was not equipped with a sprinkler system, which was not required for office towers at the time of its construction. A sprinkler system was 90 percent installed at the time of the fire; however, the system was inoperative, awaiting the installation of water flow alarms. The fire was eventually contained at 2:19 AM, and caused $400 million in damage. Repair work took four months. Because of the fire, building codes in Los Angeles were modified, requiring all high-rises to be equipped with fire sprinklers. This modified a 1974 ordinance that had only required new buildings to contain fire sprinkler systems.

Aon Center (Los Ángeles)

Aon Center es un rascacielos de 62 plantas y 262 metros (858 pies) en Los Ángeles, Estados Unidos. Su construcción finalizó en 1973.​ Fue diseñado por Charles Luckman. La excavación en el sitio comenzó a finales de 1970, y la torre fue terminada en 1973, el rascacielos rectangular negro con el ajuste blanco es muy delgado para un rascacielos en una zona sísmicamente activa. Es el tercer rascacielos más alto de Los Ángeles, el cuarto más alto en California, y el 67 más alto de Estados Unidos. El logotipo de la Aon Corporation, su inquilino, se muestra en la parte superior de color rojo. Historia Aon Center fue originalmente llamado United California Bank Building de su finalización en 1973 hasta 1981, cuando se convirtió en First Interstate Tower. Fue el rascacielos más alto al oeste del río Misisipi cuando se construyó, hasta 1982 cuando fue superado por la Torre de Comercio de Texas en Houston. Tras su finalización en 1973, el rascacielos fue el más alto del mundo fuera de Nueva York y Chicago. Seguía siendo el rascacielos más alto de Los Ángeles hasta 1989, cuando se completó la Torre Library (ahora U.S. Bank Tower). Entre 1998 y 2005, no hubo logotipos en el rascacielos. Fuego El 4 de mayo de 1988, un fuego comenzó en el piso 12 justo después de 22:00; se quemó durante unas cuatro horas. El fuego destruyó cinco pisos, lesionó a 40 personas y dejó un trabajador de mantenimiento muerto. El fuego fue tan grave porque el edificio no estaba equipado con un sistema de riego, que no fue requerido para torres de oficinas en el momento de su construcción. Un sistema de rociadores fue instalado en el momento del fuego; Sin embargo, el sistema era inoperante, en espera de la instalación de alarmas de flujo de agua. El fuego fue finalmente contenido a las 2:19 AM, y causó 50 millones de dólares en daños. Los trabajos de reparación tardaron cuatro meses. Debido al fuego, los códigos de construcción en Los Ángeles fueron modificados, exige que todos los rascacielos altos estén equipados con aspersores contra incendios. En la cultura popular El incendio del 4 de mayo de 1988, se puso de relieve en un ABC TV-movie Fuego: Atrapado en el piso 37, protagonizada por Lee Majors, Lisa Hartman-Negro y Peter Scolari El rascacielos fue ofrecido en la película Terremoto la falla de San Andrés, donde se derrumba cuando un terremoto sacude Los Ángeles. El Aon Center aparece destruido y quemado al igual que el resto de la megalópoli de Los Ángeles en la película de 2010, Resident Evil: Afterlife; cuando Alice sobrevuela en su avioneta el centro de la megalópoli.
