Sequoia Hall

Sequoia Hall is the home of the Statistics Department on the campus of Stanford University in Stanford, California. History In 1891, the original building opened as Roble Hall, a three-story women's dormitory. Roble Hall housed the first women admitted to Stanford. In 1917, a new women's dormitory also called Roble Hall was constructed on another part of campus and the earlier building was renamed Sequoia Hall and renovated as a men's dormitory. During World War I, Sequoia Hall was used by the Army for officers attending the War Department civilian defense school. In the 1930s and 1940s, Sequoia Hall fell into disrepair and was vacant by 1945. In 1957, the building was deemed an earthquake hazard. The top two stories of the building were demolished and the bottom floor was renovated. The renovated building became home to the Statistics Department. In the late 1980s, Stanford University began planning a $120 million Science and Engineering Quad (SEQ) Project, scheduled to be completed by 1999. Part of this project included the construction of a new building for Statistics. On August 22, 1996, the original Sequoia Hall was demolished to make way for the new facility. The new Sequoia Hall opened January 17, 1998 on an adjacent site. The 14,000-square-foot (1,300 m2) facility is current home to the Statistics Department.

Serramonte Center

Serramonte Center is a 1,139,906 sq ft (105,900.7 m2) super-regional shopping mall located at the intersection of California State Route 1 and Interstate 280 in Daly City, California. Opened in 1968, it is owned and managed by Regency Centers and is anchored by Macy's, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Target. History Serramonte Center was built as part of the Serramonte planned community by Fred and Carl Gellert, and opened in September 1968. Besides the anchor tenants, the 56 stores at Serramonte when it opened in 1968 included B. Dalton, Hickory Farms, Kinney Shoes, Longs Drugs, and QFI. The mall was sold in 2002 to Capital and Counties USA and in 2011 to Equity One. As of 2021, it was owned by Regency Centers. The 860,000-square-foot (80,000 m2) center underwent an expansion starting in the mid-2010s that added approximately 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) of retail space, some in a new satellite building, and a multistory parking structure. It was renovated in 2004 according to feng shui principles with the addition of a koi pond in the central grand court. Another interior renovation took place in 2021, a 142-room hotel was added adjacent to the mall, and a medical office is also planned. Layout and stores The mall is laid out in a cross shape around the grand court, with a separate food court. Of the original anchors, Macy's, Mervyn's, and Montgomery Ward, Montgomery Ward was replaced by Target in 2002 after the chain's closure, and JCPenney replaced Mervyn's in 2011. JCPenney was closed in 2019. The 21st-century expansion of the mall has included Dick's Sporting Goods, Dave and Busters, Cost Plus World Market, Buy Buy Baby, Ross Dress for Less, T.J. Maxx, Party City (now closed), and Nordstrom Rack. Denny's and Firestone Tires, formerly located near the main mall, were closed on expiration of their leases. The mall is popular with Asians, and openings in recent years have included Asian retailers such as Daiso.

Une amende de 40 millions de dollars a été infligée en 2016 à Princess Cruise Lines pour avoir déversé des déchets mazoutés dans les mers et menti pour le dissimuler. Selon les autorités fédérales, il s'agissait de la "plus grande sanction pénale jamais infligée" pour la pollution intentionnelle d'un navire. Les fonctionnaires ont déclaré que ces pratiques avaient commencé en 2005 et avaient persisté jusqu'en août 2013, lorsqu'un ingénieur récemment embauché avait révélé l'affaire (du coup, il a été viré). Dans le cadre de son accord de plaidoyer, les navires de la société mère Carnival Cruise lines, ont été soumis à un plan de conformité environnementale supervisé par un tribunal pendant cinq ans.

Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area

Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area is a regional park on the border of Pleasanton and Livermore, California, that is part of the East Bay Regional Parks (EBRP) system. Its lake, once a gravel pit, has a sandy beach and is used for swimming, fishing, and recreational boating. The park once featured water slides, which were closed in 2011 and have since been taken down, and are planned to be replaced by an Interpretive Center. The park is also a popular picnic ground. History Shadow Cliffs, a former gravel quarry, was donated to EBRP by Kaiser Industries, the former operator of the quarry, and opened as a park in 1971. The U.S. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation provided a grant of $250,000 for development of park facilities. Thus funded, EBRPD developed a 266 acres (1,080,000 m2) park that included an 80 acres (320,000 m2) lake, picnic facilities and large parking lot. Activities Swimming Swimming is allowed year-round at the swimmer's own risk, although lifeguards are on duty during the summer. The swimming beach on the main lake and a refreshment stand are open on weekends in spring and fall and daily in summer. Pets and glass containers are not allowed on the sandy areas of the beach. Beach wheelchairs are available at no charge on a first-come, first-served basis. Fishing Fishing is allowed in the main lake, provided the angler has a Park District Daily Fishing Access Permit. Trout and catfish are planted every week by park personnel. Other species popular with anglers are bluegill and black bass. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has developed a safe eating advisory for fish caught in the Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area based on levels of mercury or PCBs found in local species. E. coli Lake water at Shadow Cliffs Beach is tested for bacterial levels weekly during April through October and twice a month from November to March. In July 2014, EBRP closed the lake to swimmers due to extremely high levels of E. coli bacteria. Testing of water samples demonstrated E. coli at 6,100 colonies per 100 milliliters at the lake's south beach and 1,000 colonies per 100 milliliters at the north beach. California's state standard for daily maximum exposure is 235 colonies per 100 milliliters. Hal MacLean, the district water management supervisor, suggested that a combination of drought conditions, low water levels and accumulated animal feces—probably from geese—had caused the high bacterial content. EBRP planned to treat the lake with an oxidizing agent and "direct geese away from the swim area" in an attempt to lower the levels. Quagga mussel inspections As of October 2016, EBRPD requires that all motorized and paddle boats entering Shadow Cliffs Lake be inspected for quagga mussels. The district charges owners a $7.00 fee to inspect motorized boats, and $3.00 to inspect inflatables, kayaks, canoes, and other vessels carried on top of cars entering Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area.

Shadow Ranch

Shadow Ranch is a historic ranch house, built from 1869-1872 using adobe and redwood lumber, on the original Workman Ranch in the western San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California. For much of the 20th century it was in Canoga Park, but it is now within the boundaries of the West Hills community. The park is also allegedly haunted, owing to its grim history, and has been featured on Ghost Adventures. History 19th century The ranch began as a dry-land wheat farm owned by the San Fernando Homestead Association led by Isaac Lankershim and Isaac Van Nuys. Albert Workman, an Australian immigrant, began as the superintendent of Van Nuys' Los Angeles Farm and Milling Company. After 1869 Workman purchased the 9,000-acre (36 km2) ranch, and cultivated it with another 4,000 acres (16 km2) nearby. The ranch also had a thousand head of cattle at one time. Workman imported Australian blue gum eucalyptus tree seeds from his homeland and planted them on the ranch. Some claim the numerous eucalyptus trees in California of that species, Eucalyptus globulus, originate from the Workman Ranch groves. 20th century The site has multiple Hollywood connections. In the 1930s the Workman Ranch was acquired by Colin Clements and Florence Ryerson, a couple who were screenwriters for the film studio. Ryerson co-wrote the screenplay for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz while living there. She renamed the estate Shadow Ranch for the amount of shade provided by the numerous large eucalyptus trees, originally planted during the Workman era. It was acquired in 1948 by another screenwriter, Ranald MacDougall, whose credits include "Mildred Pierce" and "Cleopatra." In 1961, film director William Wyler used the ranch house as a filming location for The Children’s Hour, based on the play by Lillian Hellman. City park Today, the historic Shadow Ranch residence stands on a 13 acres (53,000 m2) parcel; the remaining undeveloped land of the original ranch is now an L.A. city park. The structure is used as a recreational facility and events venue. When the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission was formed in 1962, Shadow Ranch was one of the first ten properties to be designated as a city Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM #9).

Lovell Beach House

Das Lovell Beach House (deutsch: Strandhaus Lovell) ist das wohl bekannteste Gebäude des Architekten Rudolph Michael Schindler. Das 1926 errichtete Haus gilt als herausragendes Beispiel der Moderne in der Architektur. Das Anwesen hat die Anschrift 1242 W. Ocean Front und befindet sich auf der Baboa Peninsula, einem Stadtteil von Newport Beach im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien. Es liegt am Strand in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Pazifischen Ozean. Geschichte Nachdem Rudolph Michael Schindler unter dem berühmten Architekten Frank Lloyd Wright wertvolle Erfahrungen gesammelt hatte, begann er Anfang der 1920er-Jahre mit ersten eigenen Bauten. Der Auftraggeber für sein wohl bekanntestes Werk war Philipp M. Lovell, nach dem das Strandhaus auch benannt ist. Die Planung für das Projekt begann im Jahre 1925. Die Fertigstellung erfolgte nur ein Jahr später 1926. Bis zum heutigen Tage wurden an dem Bauwerk mehrere Erweiterungen durchgeführt. Mieter war der deutsch-amerikanische Architekt und Planer des Einsteinhauses von Caputh Konrad Wachsmann. Am 5. Februar 1974 wurde das Lovell Beach House als Baudenkmal in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Architektur Das Gebäude ist im sogenannten Internationalen Stil gehalten. Die moderne Architektur soll regelmäßig und modular sein. Der Grundriss wird zwanglos und asymmetrisch. Der Internationale Stil ist von jedem Schmuck befreit. Dem Betrachter des Strandhauses fällt insbesondere das über zwei Geschosse völlig offenliegende Tragwerk ins Auge. Fünf massive Betonstützen sorgen für einen sicheren Stand der Konstruktion. Die Wohnfläche liegt hoch über dem Grund. Dadurch eröffnet sich von dem Haus ein wunderschöner Blick auf das Meer. Weblinks Lovell Beach House. In: archINFORM.

Though many students commute to the college from their homes, the college is one of the few California Community Colleges with a dormitory. Shasta College has a strong athletic program offering numerous sports programs. The school mascot is a Knight. Shasta College is perhaps best known for its music department, which includes a symphony orchestra, band, choir, music theory, piano, and guitar classes.
