The Ariel Hotel is a circular hotel very close to London Heathrow Airport.

The hotel was built for J. Lyons and Co. in 1960, and designed by Russell Diplock & Associates. It was "Britain’s first significant airport hotel", and the first hotel to be built at 'London Airport' (as it was known up to 1966), its completion being timed to coincide with the opening of the Oceanic Terminal (now Terminal 3). It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 16 December 1960.

According to a promotional fold-out brochure published by the hotel in March 1962, the hotel's name referenced the 1842 Aerial Steam Carriage  monoplane design of William Samuel Henson and John Stringfellow. The brochure explained “In a sense the ‘Ariel’ is an ancestor of the great airliners… [and today] the name ‘Ariel’ is once more important in the world of flying. The Ariel Hotel, the first circular hotel in Europe, stands beside London Airport”.

The hotel was built with 185 rooms, and its doughnut design allows it to offer dedicated single-bed rooms around the inside ring, an unusual feature among Heathrow hotels.

It was acquired in 1978 by the Forte Group as a Posthouse, and in 2001 it was bought by Bass/Six Continents which became the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) which put it in their Holiday Inn brand. After a couple of ownership changes, in 2015 the hotel was managed by the Redefine BDL Hotels (RBH) group who continued to run it as a Holiday Inn franchise. As of 2023 the hotel operates under the Best Western brand to which it transferred around 2021. It is advertised as having 184 rooms.

On 15 February 2020, the hotel became a temporary quarantine centre during the COVID-19 pandemic and was closed to the general public for around a month.

Trichocladus crinitus is a species of the genus Trichocladus, in the family Hamamelidaceae. It is also called black witch-hazel.

Description and range 
Ranging in size from subshrub, shrub, to small tree 3–4 m in height, Trichocladus crinitus is often found growing in the understory of evergreen forests along the Garden Route in South Africa, where it is endemic.

Leaves: Its leaves, which grow opposite one another, are elliptic, with a tapering apex and slightly lobed or square base. They are a dark, shiny green above with dark brown velvety hairs beneath, particularly along the midrib. Adult leaves tend to be between 2.5 cm and 10 cm in length, and 1.5–7 cm wide, though they may occasionally grow slightly larger. Short, thick petiole is peltate.

Bark: Deep brown to pale grey and smooth.

Wood: White in colour and very hard.

Flowers: Range in colour from green to yellow or orange, and closely resemble Hamamelis in shape. Male and female parts are borne on separate flowers, either on the same specimen or different specimens (may be either monoecious or dioecious). Flowers from April to August.

Fruit: Small, hairy capsules are borne in clusters and range in colour from red to brown, depending upon their stage of ripeness. Fruits are typically between 5 and 7mm in length, and ripen between October and November.

Cultivation 
Grows well in cool (temperate) greenhouses. Compost and care similar to that of Gardenia.

Etymology 
Trichocladus  is derived from Greek and means 'hairy-branched', while crinitus comes from Latin and means 'with a long tuft of fine hairs.'

Doryrhina is a genus of bats belonging to the family Hipposideridae. The best known species, Doryrhina cyclops, was long placed in the diverse genus Hipposideros, but a 2017 study found that it did not form a monophyletic group with true Hipposideros. Consequently, it was placed in a separate genus, Doryrhina. A second species, Doryrhina camerunensis, has not been studied genetically, but it is generally thought to be related to D. cyclops, so it was also moved to Doryrhina.

Both species are restricted to Africa, ranging from Senegal to Kenya.

Galerías Pacífico is a shopping centre in Buenos Aires, Argentina, located at the intersection of Florida Street and Córdoba Avenue.

Overview
The Beaux Arts building was designed by the architects Emilio Agrelo and Roland Le Vacher in 1889 to accommodate a shop called the Argentine Bon Marché, modelled on the Le Bon Marché in Paris.

In 1896 part of the building was transformed into the first home for the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and in 1908 the British-owned Buenos Aires and Pacific railway company acquired part of the building for offices.  The company's name derived from the fact that its intention was to operate a train service linking Buenos Aires and Valparaíso in Chile, thereby giving access to the Pacific Ocean. From that time onwards the building became known as Edificio Pacífico.

Torture chamber 
In 1987, a film crew uncovered an abandoned torture center in the basement of the building that had been used during the Dirty War.

The Mukurob, also Vingerklip in Afrikaans or "Finger of God" near Asab in Namibia, was a sandstone rock formation in the Namib desert which collapsed on 7 December 1988.

Geology
Mukurob consisted mostly of sandstone. The structure was 12 m high and up to 4.5 m wide, and weighed some 450 tons. What made Mukorob so special, however, was its base. Just 3 m long and 1.5 m wide, it was much narrower than the mass of rock which it supported.

Mukurob was once part of the Weissrand Plateau before 50,000 years of erosion slowly isolated the structure from the rest of the plateau.

History

Early history
Mukurob was known to the Nama people for generations and inspired many tales and legends. The legend that follows explains the structure's name and was told in many versions:"The Herero people had been at odds with the Nama people since time immemorial. One day a large group of Herero and their well-fed cattle came from the grazing areas in central Namibia to the Nama region in the arid south. “Look here, how rich we are, with our nice fat cattle”, they boasted. “And what have you got? Nothing but rocks!” they mocked. The quick-witted Nama, however, replied: “We have this very special rock. You may own as many heads of cattle as you want – we are the lords of the country as long as this rock stands here.” This annoyed the Herero and they decided to topple the rock. They tied many thongs into a long rope, wound it around the rock and hitched up their cattle. But hard as they tried, they were not able to topple the rock. "Mû kho ro!" the Nama shouted – “There you see"!

Nama oral tradition also related that the power of the white man would end when this geological structure collapsed. South Africa finally relinquished control of (then) South West Africa a few weeks after Mukurob collapsed on the night of 7 December 1988, when South Africa, Angola and Cuba signed the "New York Treaty" (or "Tripartite Agreement") at UN Headquarters, which finalised the agreements reached earlier in Geneva. Angola and Cuba also signed a bilateral agreement on the Cuban troop withdrawal from Angola, which paved the way for Security Council Resolution 435 to be implemented on 1 April 1989. On 21 March 1990, Namibia gained independence from South Africa.

Recent history
Before it collapsed in 1988, Mukurob was one of the greatest tourist attractions in Namibia, attracting viewers from all over the world, and prompted several geological studies of the structure. Mukurob was given "National Monument" status (Category: Geology) on 1 June 1955. Its status was not revoked after the structure's collapse.

Collapse
It is still not known what truly caused Mukurob's collapse on the night of 7 December 1988. It is believed that a rainstorm during the week before, may have weakened the sandstone pillar, and contributed to its demise. Another study showed that the 1988 Spitak earthquake in Armenia registered heavily in Namibia on the night that Mukurob collapsed.

The collapsed rock was discovered the next morning by a farmer and his three sons.
