Художественный музей Северной Каролины

Художественный музей Северной Каролины (англ. North Carolina Museum of Art; сокр. NCMA) — музей в штате Северная Каролина, США; один из ведущих художественных музеев на юге Соединённых Штатов. Финансирование создания музея началось в 1947 году. Открыт для посещения был в 1956 году. На сегодня он включает в себя коллекцию, которая насчитывает экспонаты за 5000 лет — от античности до наших дней. В 1924 году в художественном обществе North Carolina State Art Society был проявлен интерес в создании художественного музея. В 1928 году общество на имеющиеся средства приобрело 75 картин, которые были показаны в 1929 году на временной выставке в Agriculture Building. В 1939 году музей был перенесен в бывшее здание Верховного Суда. В 1947 году Законодательное собрание штата выделило один миллион долларов на покупку коллекции произведений искусства для жителей Северной Каролины — это было первым случаем выделения государственных средств для художественной коллекции в стране. В течение своей деятельности музей реконструировался и прибавлял новые здания. В апреле 2010 года в нём открылось новое Западное здание, имеющее площадь 127 000 квадратных футов (11 800 м²), спроектированное нью-йоркскими архитекторами из компании Thomas Phifer and Partners. В рамках этого проекта было преобразовано и восточное здание. Общая стоимость работ составила 72,3 миллиона долларов. Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт (англ.) History of the Museum (англ.)

Belews Creek Power Station

Belews Creek Steam Station is a 2.24-GW, two-unit coal-fired generating facility located on Belews Lake in Stokes County, North Carolina. It is Duke Energy’s largest coal-burning power plant in the Carolinas and consistently ranks among the most efficient coal facilities in the United States. During 2006, it was the fifth most efficient coal power plant in the United States with a heat rate of 9,023 Btu/kWh (37.8% conversion efficiency). The remaining 62.2% of energy released by the burning coal is in the form of heat. It is dumped into Belews Lake, a man-made lake created by Duke Power for cooling water purposes in the early 1970s. In 2008, it was the #1 most efficient coal power plant in the United States with a heat rate of 9,204 British thermal units per kilowatt-hour (2.697 kWh/kWh) or 37.1% conversion efficiency. In 2018 a complete redesign of the back-pass on Unit-1 significantly boosted this efficiency, ranking it the 2nd most efficient coal-fired power plant in the world. The plant consists of two nearly identical units, launched into operation in 1974 and 1975. Each furnace, a Babcock & Wilcox boiler, heats steam to 1,000 °F (538 °C) in both the secondary superheater and reheater sections. The boilers are supercritical units, operating at 3,400 pounds per square inch (230 atm) of pressure. All four generators (two low pressure generators and two high pressure/intermediate pressure generators) are Westinghouse generators. The low pressure, intermediate pressure and high pressure steam turbines were originally Westinghouse units, but were replaced over time with Alstom steam-path upgraded components. The turbine valves are the originally installed Westinghouse equipment. The plant employs multiple pollution control systems, including a selective catalytic reducer which removes nitrogen oxides, an electrostatic precipitator which removes fly ash, and low NOx burners in the boiler. The plant has completed a $500 million flue-gas desulfurization project which came online during the beginning of 2008. This project has reduced the plant's sulfur dioxide emissions by 95%.

Boone's Cave Park

Boone's Cave Park is a 110-acre county park located near Lexington, North Carolina It was established in 1909 by the Daniel Boone Memorial Association. It is named after American pioneer Daniel Boone. History There are a number of places named "Boone's Cave," but the cave in the park is rumored to be the one where Squire and Sarah Jarman Morgan spent their first winter, with the then teenage Daniel upon entering the region in 1751, perhaps to escape Native Americans. There was a total of 25 people in the group, with all 10 of the Boones children, and other family members and neighbors who all left Pennsylvania together. The Boone family and everyone else soon built homes near the cave, located next to the Yadkin River. The Boones eventually settled on the opposite banks of the Yadkin River, which serves as a county line and into what is now Davie County, about two miles (three km) west of Mocksville. Geography The park is approximately 120 acres and supports a variety of flora and fauna native to the area, including a number of hardwoods such as oak, hornbeam and elm. Over 50 different flowering plants such as laurel and wild hydrangea can be found in the park. The cave itself is 140 foot long, and most sections require crawling to gain access. It is within sight of the Yadkin River and part of the 165-mile Yadkin River Trail.

Irwin Belk Track and Field Center/Transamerica Field

The Irwin Belk Track and Field Center/Transamerica Field is a stadium located on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Finished in 1996, the stadium is home to the Charlotte 49ers men's soccer and track and field teams. The facility includes the Southeast's first eight-lane continuous radius track with full-depth polyurethane surface; and 10,500 square feet of internal space including coaches' offices, locker rooms and a hospitality suite in the North Pavilion. Public restrooms, concessions and the press box are located in the South Pavilion. The Central Pavilion contains the ticket booths, Wall of Champions and Recognition Center. Track events held in the Center include high jump, pole vault, long jump, and triple jump. The 120-by-75-yard (110 by 69 m) natural grass playing surface is the home field for the 49ers men's and women's soccer teams, and also accommodates shot put, discus, javelin and hammer throw events. The facility has hosted several major meets for both Conference USA and the Atlantic 10 Conference. A pro soccer team, the Charlotte Eagles, have also used Transamerica Field for home games. Originally considered for expansion to host the Charlotte 49ers new football team, estimates of expansion for football usage made by leading sports design firm Populous were prohibitively expensive due to location restrictions and environmental concerns involving the Toby Creek flood plain. Subsequently, the university chose to build a dedicated football stadium west of Hayes Stadium, named Jerry Richardson Stadium. Title IX scholarship requirements related to the addition of the Charlotte 49ers football program will most likely mean that Belk will soon be home to either a potential 49ers future field hockey team or women's lacrosse team. Facilities upgrades, including the possibility of replacing the grass field with artificial turf, might be needed to handle the added usage. Statues The facility features six Richard Hallier athletic statues depicting sports played at the center. Four along the front entrance feature a male relay runner, a female long-distance runner and male and female soccer players. On the field side in front of the north and south pavilions respectively are statues of a female hurdler and a male discus thrower. There are eight more Hallier sports statues on the UNC Charlotte campus, all of which were donated by Charlotte businessman and philanthropist Irwin Belk (part of the family which owns the Belk department store chain), who is also the namesake of the center. Additional art work at the facility includes the Victory sculpture by Claudio Capotondi located in the south end zone of the stadium, also made possible by a financial gift by Belk.

Lake Waccamaw State Park

Lake Waccamaw State Park is a North Carolina state park in Columbus County, North Carolina, in the United States. Located near the town of Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina, it covers 2,398-acre (9.70 km2), along the shores of Lake Waccamaw, a Carolina bay. The U.S. Geological Survey has interpreted the Carolina Bays as relict thermokarst lakes that formed several thousands of years ago when the climate was colder, drier, and windier. Thermokarst lakes develop by thawing of frozen ground (permafrost) and by subsequent modification by wind and water. Thus, this interpretation suggests that permafrost once extended as far south as the Carolina Bays during the last ice age and (or) previous ice ages. Lake Waccamaw State Park is located in North Carolina's Coastal Plain.

Лейк-Уаккамо (парк штата)

Лейк-Уаккамо (англ. Lake Waccamaw State Park) — парк штата США в округе Колумбус штата Северная Каролина. Создан в 1976 году. Площадь — 9,7 км². Описание Парк штата расположен на Прибрежной Атлантической равнине на юго-востоке штата Северная Каролина — включает северо-западную часть каролинской котловины Уаккамо и южный прибрежный участок озера Уаккамо — одной из Каролинских котловин — западнее города Уилмингтон. Озеро овальной формы. Один из двух участков парка — северо-западная часть каролинской котловины (без воды), где расположены лесистые водно-болотные угодья Коув, отмежёванная от озёрной котловины каналом Cove Canal. Другой (больший) участок — южная прибрежная полоса озера, включая истоковую часть русла реки Уаккамо, которая берёт начало в озере, здесь сооружена плотина. Геологическая служба США интерпретировала Каролинские котловины как реликтовые термокарстовые озера, образовавшиеся несколько тысяч лет назад, когда климат был более холодным, сухим и ветреным. На Прибрежной Атлантической равнине насчитывается 500 000 подобных котловин, и озеро является одним из немногих, в котором вместо растительности находится открытая вода. Известняковый обрыв снижает кислотность озера, что делает его идеальным местом обитания для нескольких видов водных организмов, которые не встречаются больше нигде в мире. Пешеходный мост через плотину Уаккамо позволяет посетителям пройти по всей 14-мильной береговой линии озера. В парке есть 4 пешие тропы.
