The Cap d'Antifer Lighthouse () is an active aid to navigation on the headland of the same name which forms part of the French Côte d'Albâtre (Alabaster coast) of the English Channel, in Seine-Maritime, Normandy. Located on the edge of the cliffs within the commune of La Poterie-Cap-d'Antifer, it was built to guide shipping into the Port of Le Havre.

The current lighthouse was commissioned in 1955 and is the second to be built at the site after the original 19th century lighthouse was destroyed during World War II.

History
The need for a lighthouse on the Cap d’Antifer, was identified in 1889, primarily to aid navigation to the entrance Le Havre. It was suggested that it should have a powerful light source, similar to that used for other landfall lighthouses, as the existing light at Fécamp was inadequate in this respect.

In 1890, the Commission des Phares made the decision to construct the lighthouse, with a tower height of 26m, and a focal plane of 120m, and it was completed in 1894.

Optic

The lantern room was designed to accommodate a hyper-radial optic, the largest type of Fresnel lens available. Made up of six bullseye panels, and manufactured by F. Barbier, the optic was displayed at the Exposition Universelle of 1889 a world's fair held in Paris before being installed in the tower, the only hyper-radial lens to be used in a French lighthouse. To enable the optic to turn freely it was mounted upon a circular bath of mercury, known as a mercury float, providing an almost frictionless bearing. The rotation produced a white flash every 20 seconds, with a range of 31 miles. Originally lit with mineral oil and wick burners, the light source was converted to kerosene in 1905. In 1926, the lighthouse was electrified using diesel generators.

It continued in operation through to the Second World War, until German soldiers demolished the entire lighthouse and the optic as they withdrew at the end of Occupation of France in late summer 1944.

1955 lighthouse
After the war a temporary pole light was erected, with construction of the current lighthouse beginning in 1949. Completed in 1955, it has a 38 m high octagonal concrete tower with fluted sides, with a focal height of 128m. Rather than building it in the same spot as the old light, the site was moved back 30m away from the eroding cliff edge. A grassy berm was also placed around the site, to protect the keeper's houses from the wind in the clifftop location. In 2002, the lighthouse was declared a monument historique. It is registered under the international Admiralty number A1250 and it has the NGA identifier of 114–8740.

The optic used is smaller than the hyper-radial of the previous lighthouse, being of the second-order with a focal length of 700mm, but from the same company of Barbier, Benard, et Turenne. Mounted within a 2m diameter green lantern room made by Sautter-Harle, and lit by a 650 watt lamp, the light has a nominal range of 29 nautical miles.

John Armstrong (20 January 1857 – 27 April 1941) was a Scottish architect and civil engineer operating in Scotland in the late 19th century. He was a Quaker, and appears to have done much work for the Society of Friends.

Life
He was born in Newport Street in Edinburgh in 1857, the son of James Armstrong, an engine driver and superintendent with the Caledonian Railway, and Agnes Irvine. The family moved to Carlisle when John was only four years old.

In 1881 he appears in the census as an architect operating from 51 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh. His home address is then given as 2 South Clerk Street. In 1882 he took up very prestigious offices at 2 Queen Street in the New Town. In 1885 he  moved to the then newly completed corner flat at 17 Hillside Crescent, designed by his peer, John Chesser.

He appears was affiliated with various Quaker groups after being admitted to the faith in 1888 and was linked to the Westminster and Longford Quaker Meeting House, Russell Street in London . 

After briefly living with his brother George in Birmingham in England for part of 1886 he moved to London.  He is noted as applying for membership of the Quaker Meeting House in Middlesex in April 1888. Here he met Marie Marthe Bobenrieth (1863–1955) from Lyon in France who married him shortly thereafter.  John Armstrong was a member of the Peace Committee and also a founding member of the League of Universal Brotherhood and Native Races in London.

John Armstrong became a civil engineer and inventor, experimenting with ore and he had a number of patents for reverberating furnaces and fire grates.  He wrote a book, published in 1929 - Carbonization Technology and Engineering publisher C. Griffin.  After living in Acton, England he moved to Eden Hall, Montpelier Road, Ealing, England. The couple retired to Hyères, France  (a popular British hub) in France in 1933 where they lived in the Villa l’Ensoleillado (which he had purchased in 1926). They returned to London in 1939 to renew their wedding vows at the Quaker Meeting House in London and celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary.  He died in Hyeres in 1941, and was cremated and placed in the Columbarium in Marseille.

New York's 57th State Assembly district is one of the 150 districts in the New York State Assembly. It has been represented by Democrat Phara Souffrant Forrest since 2020.

Geography 

District 57 is located in Brooklyn, comprising the neighborhoods of Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, and parts of Crown Heights and Bedford–Stuyvesant.

Representation 

District 57 was served by Roger L. Green from 1981 until June 1, 2004, when Green resigned his seat after pleading guilty to petty larceny in connection with $3,000 in false travel reimbursement claims. He was sentenced to three years' probation, fined $2,000, and had to pay $3,000 in restitution. However, he ran for the seat again a few months later and was reelected on November 2, 2004.

Green served one final term from 2005 to 2007, but then announced his retirement from the Assembly to run for Congress, a race that he lost. Hakeem Jeffries, who had challenged Green in the Democratic primary in 2000, won the Democratic primary and the general election in 2006. Jeffries served until 2013, when he retired from the Assembly to serve in Congress.

Walter T. Mosley won the open race for the seat in 2012, and has served since 2013. Mosley has served unopposed since he was first elected, but faced his first primary challenge on June 23, 2020 against Phara Souffrant Forrest.

The Hope Residence is a house at 2466 Southridge Drive in Palm Springs, California. It is  in size. The house was built for the American entertainers Bob and Dolores Hope and completed in 1979. The house is noted for its large undulating triangular roof, with a large central light shaft.

Location
The house is located in a gated community in Palm Springs. It is located above Palm Springs, with panoramic views of the Coachella Valley and the San Jacinto Mountains.

Design
The grounds of the house contain a tennis court, putting greens, and a swimming pool. An outdoor fireplace in a large conical chimney is in the large exterior terrace of the house. The original roof design was a steel frame covered in wood.

The design of the house has been likened to a mushroom, a volcano, and a spaceship.

History
The Hopes hired architect John Lautner for the project due to their admiration for his Elrod House nearby on Southridge Drive. When Bob Hope saw Lautner's model for the house in 1969 he quipped that "Well, at least when they come down from Mars they'll know where to go".

The house was destroyed by a fire from a welder's torch in its initial phase of construction in 1973, the cost of the fire was estimated at $500,000. Construction began four year later after legal issues regarding insurance and financial responsibility for the fire were settled.

Arthur Elrod, the chief interior designer for the house, died during the first phase of construction. When work began again in 1977 the original building plans as filed with the council were still valid. Dolores Hope became increasingly involved in the design of the house following its rebuild which caused Lautner to distance himself from the project. The Hopes hired a "Beverley Hills society decorator" to design the décor of the house which dismayed Lautner who had originally envisaged a modernist interior that made use of the natural light in the house's desert location. Dolores Hope had been inspired by Sunnylands, the nearby house of Walter and Leonore Annenberg, with its pink roof.

In February 2013, following Dolores’ death that year and that of Bob Hope in 2003, the property was put on the market for $50 million; the price was dropped to $25 million in 2014 and finally sold for $13 million in 2016 to Ron Burkle. Burkle owned the nearby Elrod House, also designed by Lautner, from 1995 to 2003.

Post 2016 remodelling
The former site architect of the Hope House, Helena Arghuete, managed the remodelling of the house following its 2016 sale. The modernist interior of the house as envisioned by Lautner was created by stripping the interiors and replacing the décor with natural materials. Arghuete was assisted by Lorenzo Jauregui, whose mother was the Hope's maid for 34 years. The father and son woodworkers Brian Cooney Sr. and Brian Cooney Jr. constructed 12 new doors at the house to Lautner's design and installed African mahogany on the house's interior walls.

The Land Before Time is a 2001 Game Boy Color platform game developed by Eclipse Entertainment Ltd and published by Swing Entertainment Media, based upon the 1988 film of the same name. A non-ported title of the same name for the Game Boy Advance was released by Full Fat in 2002.

Gameplay 

The Land Before Time is a 2D platformer where players alternate between a range of selectable characters: Ducky, Littlefoot, Cera, and Spike, from the original film, as they find themselves separated from a rock fall and need to reunite with their friends. Each character performs specific functions, such as squeezing into small spaces, crushing rocks, or defeating enemies, requiring the player to alternate between them as they navigate the levels of the game. The game uses a password system instead of a battery save system to return the player to levels of the game. The game features 20 levels across five environments, ranging from volcanoes, deserts, and swamps.

Reception 

The Land Before Time received mixed reviews. Writing for Game Boy Xtreme, John Hagerty stated the game was "above average" with "decent gameplay", but found frustration with the lack of a restart position and the "complicated attack movements", noting "there's nothing to collect or bad guys to beat in the areas you've already explored". TJ Deci for Allgame stated that whilst the concept of switching playable characters was "(executed) fairly well", the "gameplay alone isn't enough to overcome the numerous frustrations with the title", including "not being able to save during levels", "the unwieldy password system". Total Game Boy found the game to be "tricky" with "poor collision", making it inappropriate for its target audience of younger players, stating the gameplay was "dull and uninteresting, with no background story".

The Field Marshals' Hall () of the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg was built to honor the greatest military leaders of the Russian Empire—generals who attained the rank of Field Marshal. (The only higher rank was that of Generalissimo, attained by four generals and, in the Soviet period, bestowed on Joseph Stalin).

This great hall and the adjacent throne room are part of the suite of rooms that were created in the western part of the Winter Palace for Tsar Nicholas I in 1833 by architect Auguste de Montferrand.

The great fire, which destroyed the interior of the Winter Palace, began in this hall on 17 December 1837. It destroyed all in its path for over thirty hours. Following the fire, the hall was rebuilt in its original style by the architect Vasily Stasov.

Today, as part of the Hermitage Museum, this room retains its recreated decoration by Stasov.

The blue hour (from French ; ) is the period of twilight (in the morning or evening, around the nautical stage) when the Sun is at a significant depth below the horizon. During this time, the remaining sunlight takes on a mostly blue shade. This shade differs from the colour of the sky on a clear day, which is caused by Rayleigh scattering.

The blue hour occurs when the Sun is far enough below the horizon so that the sunlight's blue wavelengths dominate due to the Chappuis absorption caused by ozone. Since the term is colloquial, it lacks an official definition such as dawn, dusk, or the three stages of twilight. Rather, blue hour refers to the state of natural lighting that usually occurs around the nautical stage of the twilight period (at dawn or dusk).

Explanation and times of occurrence
The still commonly presented incorrect explanation claims that Earth's post-sunset and pre-sunrise atmosphere solely receives and disperses the sun's shorter blue wavelengths and scatters the longer, reddish wavelengths to explain why the hue of this hour is so blue. In fact, the blue hour occurs when the Sun is far enough below the horizon so that the sunlight's blue wavelengths dominate due to the Chappuis absorption caused by ozone.

When the sky is clear, the blue hour can be a colourful spectacle, with the indirect sunlight tinting the sky yellow, orange, red, and blue. This effect is caused by the relative diffusibility of shorter wavelengths (bluer rays) of visible light versus the longer wavelengths (redder rays). During the blue "hour", red light passes through space while blue light is scattered in the atmosphere, and thus reaches Earth's surface.

Blue hour usually lasts about 20–96 minutes right after sunset and right before sunrise. Time of year, location, and air quality all have an impact on the exact timing of blue hour. For instance in Egypt (every 21st of June), when sunset is at 7:59 PM: blue hour occurs from 7:59 PM to 9:35 PM. When sunrise is at 5:54 AM: blue hour occurs from 4:17 AM to 5:54 AM. Golden hour occurs from 5:54 AM to 6:28 AM and from 7:25 PM to 7:59 PM.

Blue hour in art

Blue hour photography
Many artists value this period for the quality of the soft light. Although the blue hour does not have an official definition, the blue color spectrum is most prominent when the Sun is between 4° and 8° below the horizon.

Photographers use blue hour for the tranquil mood it sets. When photographing during blue hour it can be favourable to capture subjects that have artificial light sources, such as buildings, monuments, cityscapes, or bridges.
