Zinkia Entertainment

Zinkia Entertainment (or simply Zinkia) is a Spanish production company located in Madrid, Spain. Its main focus is to create animated series for TV and games, for mobile devices and for game platforms. The company has more than 100 employees and their series have been sold in more than 95 countries worldwide. Zinkia was founded in 2001 by David Cantolla López and his brother Colman López, together with José María Castillejo as a capital partner.
In June 2006, one of its television series, Pocoyo, was awarded at the 30th International Festival of Annecy with the Cristal award for the "Best TV Series in the world" and a BAFTA prize in 2006.
In April 2011, Zinkia acquired a 51% majority stake in UK distributor Cake Entertainment. This followed on the end of the partnership the company had with ITV Global Entertainment for the Pocoyo franchise.
Zinkia Entertainment launched numerous Pocoyo spin-offs and two new animated series: the Spanish-French co-production Shuriken School (2006) and the pre-school Mola Noguru (2013).
After a bond issue failed, the company entered the red: in 2012 it carried out an ERE that affected a third of the workforce, and in 2013 it had to declare bankruptcy. In July 2014, Cake Entertainment's management purchased back Zinkia's 51% stake in Cake due to Zinkia's bankruptcy.
Zinkia managed to overcome this crisis thanks to Pocoyo's income, both in television rights and through its official YouTube channel. In 2016, it was acquired by the Mexican businessman Miguel Valladares, and since then it has focused exclusively on TV series animation.
In May 2023, Zinkia announced the sale of the Pocoyo franchise to French investment firm Animaj SAS for an undisclosed amount. The sale would include all IP rights, distribution, and licensing to the franchise but would exclude the educational portions, which Zinkia would retain. In exchange for the deal, Zinkia would acquire a 7.99% minority stake in Animaj. The deal was closed on September 20, 2023, with the franchise transferring over to its new owners on the same day.

佛牙寺龙华院

新加坡佛牙寺龙华院（英語：Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum）是位于新加坡牛车水地区的一个佛教庙宇博物馆，由释法照于2002年11月30日在当地创设，并于2003年2月20日注册成为宗教团体，后在2004年1月8日注册成为慈善团体，是目前新加坡规模较大的几个佛教组织和实体寺庙之一。
新加坡佛牙寺除了供奉釋迦牟尼的遺牙佛牙舍利給佛教信眾參觀，亦為公眾提供社會服務。興建中的「新加坡佛牙寺」位於華人聚集的「牛車水」之「番寨尾」，該地段是從前是專門提供外國妓女（主要是俄羅斯、日本、臺灣及朝鮮）的妓院；寺側碩莪巷（Sago Lane）俗稱「死人街」－因為那裡曾經是殯儀館和「大難館」－為垂死病人提供臨終服務的小型醫館（養病所）的集中地。

新加坡天福宮

天福宮（英語：Hock Keng Temple），新加坡媽祖廟，興建於大清道光20年（1840年），由福建移民薛佛記與陳篤生等集資籌建，為新加坡地區最古老的華人民間信仰廟宇。天福宮除了主祀媽祖之外，配祀關聖帝君、至聖先師（當地稱「孔子公」）與觀世音菩薩。1973年7月6日，新加坡政府指定天福宮為國定古蹟。
清代中葉，新加坡牛車水漸漸形成以福建移民為主的華人聚落，約莫在公元1821至1822年間，當地華人起蓋一間祭祀媽祖的簡陋廟宇，聊表對媽祖庇佑南渡航行平安的感激之意。而直到1880年代填海造陸之前，天福宮不僅緊臨海濱，且面向大海。
公元1839年，牛車水居民商議重建媽祖廟，商人兼慈善家陳篤生捐納尤多，因而留名。1840年，天福宮動工興建，其樑柱建材與媽祖塑像等皆引自中國。建廟期間，不乏新加坡印度社群鼎力相助，遂在廟宇樑柱間隙中擺置一名印度人外表的塑像，感謝銘記。1842年天福宮落成，總計斥資三萬西班牙銀圓。
1840年天福宮落成後，便由福建會館主導廟宇一切的庶務。1849年，天福宮正殿龍邊擴建崇文塔。1856至1916年，陈笃生家族陈笃生出任首任天福宫大董事，经陈金钟、陈武烈共祖孙三代操持了天福宫前后一甲子，历三世不衰。1906年天福宮重啟修建，西洋格拉斯哥式樣的鍛鐵鐵門與平舖磚塊添入天福宮的外貌。光緒33年（1907年），光緒皇帝題「波靖南溟」匾，御賜天福宮。1913年，天福宮增建涼亭，而此涼亭曾經出借予中華女子學校。
1973年，新加坡古蹟保存局指定天福宮為國家古蹟，修繕前，繪製設計草稿的是台灣知名傳統廟宇建築師—謝自南。1998年，天福宮再度進行大規模的修建工程，此次修建歷時兩年，耗資220萬美金。2001年，天福宮獲得聯合國教科文組織頒佈的亞太區文物保護獎。
光緒31年（1905年）舊曆五月，福建泉漳地區發生水患，新加坡《叻報》於同年10月24日（舊曆9月26日）刊登此事，呼籲華僑捐款賑災。天福宮作為福建移民的聯絡中心，當即號召僑民響應，籌措一萬元匯往福建，濟助災民。
此襄助災民的義舉傳回朝廷，光緒皇帝大為欣喜，特別惠賜天福宮御書「波靖南溟」。根據《清德宗實錄．卷571》記載，光緒皇帝頒布「南洋新嘉坡天后廟匾額」的時間為光緒33年（1907年）3月，特別曉諭軍機大臣寄發御書。
匾額落款「光緒三十三年十月吉旦」，係指御書寄達新加坡的日期，即西曆1907年11月。而當地仕紳收到御書之後，耗費多時摹刻成御匾，直到1908年6月30日才懸掛於天福宮正殿。
天福宮為五開間三進落的閩南式廟宇建築，正殿與入口處的樑柱多刻成龍的樣式作為雕飾。三川殿（前殿）位於台基之上，香客須登梯方能進入參拜，三川殿中港門與太監門皆有門神彩繪，道佛神祇並存，各自蘊含道德教化、鴻運庇佑等意義。
穿過前殿後即能進入連結正殿的中庭，媽祖像便位於正殿中央。至聖先師孔子公則供奉在龍邊護龍處，據傳也是福建移民一同設立的。天福宮後殿供奉武聖關公，另外亦有供奉觀世音菩薩與伽藍聖王等佛教神祇。

中国人民的老朋友

“中国人民的老朋友”是中国共产党和中华人民共和国政府及其主要领导人和高级官员褒称被其認爲长期对中华人民共和国、中國共產黨友好的重要外国人士的正式用语。
据媒体统计，从最早在1956年获此称号的加拿大人文幼章起，直到2010年，《人民日报》上先后有六百余人被称为“中国人民的老朋友”。这一称呼出现的频率，在文化大革命结束后、改革开放初期、六四事件结束后、邓小平逝世后分别达到了高峰。不过，从胡锦涛时期起，这一称号在《人民日报》上使用的频次已从每年50次左右降低至20次左右。

郑和下西洋 (电视剧)

《鄭和下西洋》又名《大航海》，是2009年中国中央电视台制作出品的电视剧。根据郑和下西洋的故事改编，共50集，罗嘉良、唐国强、于小慧、杜雨露主演。台灣OTT由LiTV 線上影視全劇上架。
大明洪武年间，少年郑和从云南被征入宫为太监，分到燕王府当随从。燕王朱棣胸有大志，在守边岁月中经受了磨炼，尤其结识高僧姚广孝后，更是开阔了胸襟。他与父皇朱元璋的海禁政策越来越不合拍。在跟随朱棣守卫北平和边陲的日子里，马和逐步成长起来，其良好的素质，为以后的建功立业打下了基础。
皇长孙朱允炆君临天下，为巩固皇权开始削藩，燕王朱棣首当其冲。为了生存，朱棣被迫装疯，饱受屈辱。郑和的结拜姐姐宋莲芯，也被奸臣所谋。朱棣在绝境中毅然率领八百壮士起兵，展开了争夺皇位的“靖难”之役。战争中，马和与姚广孝、张玉等人一样功勋卓著，尤其在郑村坝一役，他奋勇救朱棣于危难，从此更被燕王视为心腹。
朱棣登基后，为洗清自己的“篡逆”之名，决心直追汉武唐宗，开创一代盛世。登基之初，他赐马和姓“郑”，随之，悄然改变朱元璋的禁海国策，任命35岁的郑和为统率大明宝船队下西洋的钦差总兵官。
永乐三年7月11日，郑和率二万七千八百余人，从南京、太仓一带至福建长乐太平港扬帆出海。郑和宝船带领着庞大的大明船队，从此开始长达28年的海外宣扬国威和寻求贸易的远航。
朱棣是大航海的决策者和组织者。从船队出海的电视剧郑和下西洋第一天起，他就在陆地上指挥、控制和支持着这一伟大的航程。他下令在江浙、福建、广东、湖北一带造船，并在全国范围扩大瓷器、丝绸、茶叶等出口货物的生产。同时，借大航海之机实施永乐盛世，开始编纂《永乐大典》，疏浚京杭大运河。他还与姚广孝微服私访，恢复生产，与民休息。徐皇后也励行节俭，并抱病亲身劝桑。从而，使国家迅速实现了复兴，为下西洋提供了源源不断的物质保障。
郑和率船队第一次下西洋，恢复了明王朝对南洋诸岛的管辖，命名了景弘岛、永乐群岛等。此间，郑和船队的一项重要使命，就是打击大海盗陈祖义。此人在南洋地区多年为非作歹，无人治服，致使大明与南洋航道不通。郑和率船队与其斗智斗勇，终于为南洋各国除了一害。大明宝船队在访问了南洋和南亚的占城、爪哇、苏门答腊、锡兰、古里、旧港等国家和地区，所到之处，均推行和平外交，迅速发展了大明王朝在海外的影响，尤其和当时的马来西亚、新加坡、印度尼西亚、印度南部海域地区的人民，结成了无比亲密的关系。
船队归来时，朱棣并没有被胜利所陶醉。他的目光不再是停留在“宣扬国威”或暗中寻找建文帝的下落，而是决心以更加开放的思路，支撑起一个前无古人的大航海事业。这样一来，从皇上到百姓的观念都已转变，使商品经济的萌芽加快发生了。那个时代，海上航行的实力，实际代表一个国家的综合国力，海船的鼎盛，又象征着国家的富强、技术的发达，文化的进步。随着郑和船队走向海外世界，这位君王不仅追求“四海宾服，万邦来朝”的目标，而且，一心想开辟唐宋以来出现的海上丝绸之路，将中华民族的文明成果，广泛传播到东南亚和亚非大陆。在此基础上，朱棣还开始了一系列更大的手笔。其中之一即决定将北平改为北京，下令大规模营建新的京城，包括今天的故宫，基本上还是明初打下的基础。
朱棣让郑和在与西洋诸国交往的过程中，始终坚持以德服人，不恃强凌弱。经济上则厚往薄来，给予各国诸多好处，树立了泱泱大国的风范。在当时的世界上，大明船队很好的发挥了一个大国维护地区和平的作用。郑和在此期间，率领船队在马六甲和忽鲁谟斯等国建立了货栈，与阿拉伯人、波斯人、欧洲人广泛展开贸易。锡兰国篡位者亚烈苦奈儿背信弃义，想劫持大明船队，郑和出于无奈被迫还击，但他始终坚持“自古知兵非 好战”的信条，以智慧和宽容，正义与威力，来化解两国之间的危机。徐皇后的病逝，使朱棣伤心欲绝。好在大明船队再次航海归来，特别是郑和将桀骜不逊的亚烈苦奈儿押来大明，听候皇上裁决其生死时，朱棣以中华文明来处置此案，最终感化了这个凶暴的国王。郑和越是走向未知，朱棣就越激起万丈雄心。他不满足于已知领域，想让郑和把船队带到更远，去穷尽整个世界。就在这时，发生了北京故宫三大殿遭雷击被毁事件，有人趁机攻击下西洋花费上千万两白银，并指责郑和有贪污之嫌，及他拥兵自重，在海外另有所图，这让朱棣起了疑心。
姚广孝以年迈之躯，向朱棣陈述自己的看法，多国使者对郑和及船队的肯定，尤其永乐朝和海外这些国家友好往来的铁一般事实，让朱棣又一次猛醒过来，他排斥了种种攻击，重新让郑和回到船队，踏上了遥远的非洲东岸之行。此次，郑和率船队完成了从太平洋到印度洋的历史性跨越，与非洲各国建立起牢固的友好关系。朱棣多次亲自率兵征讨漠北，解除了北方最后的军事威胁。此时，实现了大明对西南、西北、东北地区的完整管辖，奠定了中华民族宽阔的疆域版图。在凯旋途中，他病情加重。临死前，他仍然牵挂着身在海外的郑和船队。
郑和船队返航归来，朱棣已病逝于漠北返程途中。皇太子朱高炽即位，果然马上重施海禁。朱高炽放出了一直反对下西洋的户部尚书夏原吉，罢撤下西洋的一切活动。郑和改职为南京守备，带领船队官兵负责修建大报恩寺。期间，郑和被人视做祸国殃民的“国贼”，特别是他从海外带入的新奇见解与知识，更为传统观念所不容！珍贵无比的《航海日记》，也被当做妖言罪证焚毁，水师与海船尽遭裁撤。凶险莫测的命运，令郑和痛苦欲绝，他深感“帝王不可信，亲人不可期，荣辱不可计”，欲饮恨自尽。
这时，朱高炽却突然病逝，年轻的朱瞻基即位。宣德帝发现祖父永乐朝轰轰烈烈的朝贡贸易，已经销声匿迹，前来谨见中国皇帝的外国使臣也大大减少，并且海上又开始不宁静了。他领悟到下西洋的重要之所在，力图恢复朱棣时代的鼎盛，于是下旨重用已经六十多岁的郑和，让他和王景弘一道，继续接掌宝船队，重建水师，再度巡洋。
宣德六年，郑和率领二万七千人，开始了第七次下西洋。这是郑和最后一次出洋。他访问了二十多个国家，让各国重新看到了明王朝的威望，恢复和建立了相互友好关系和贸易。这次航程，郑和感到身体已经每况愈下。他想率领船队访遍西洋诸国，便分出若干船队，由副使们分头率领，到一些国家去宣诏和贸易。
最后的航行中，郑和的愿望是要越过“风暴角”，从海上去寻找大西洋和欧洲陆地。他不顾朝廷命令，率船队主力驰入南半球，他试图穿越新大洋，接触神秘的西方世界。但是，在距好望角近在咫尺的地方，郑和被朝廷力阻回国。他已经快油枯灯尽，终于病逝于归途。
穿帮镜头
该剧是为了纪念郑和下西洋600周年而特别拍摄的，《郑和下西洋》自1999年开始筹划，到2009年正式播出足足10年时间，真是“十年磨一剑”。
该剧的前期摄制达7个多月，从北京、河北、无锡、横店一直拍到海南岛。
该剧先后辗转北京、无锡、琼海等地进行拍摄，海戏部分主要在琼海完成，在文昌市会文镇新村海滩进行了部分外景拍摄任务。
为重现郑和航海之旅，剧组在海南琼海一个三面临海的海域，搭了一艘75米长、28米宽的大船，在海湾实地拍摄。

張乾琦

張乾琦（1961年—），臺灣攝影師，曾參與威尼斯雙年展、巴西聖保羅雙年展、紐約攝影三年展。截至2021年9月，張乾琦為臺灣唯一的馬格蘭攝影通訊社會員。
張乾琦於1961年生於臺中縣烏日鄉，在家中為長子，下有四個妹妹。父親胃出血的手術用光了家中的積蓄，因此張乾琦的家境貧困，父母總是沒日沒夜地工作，直到張乾琦六歲家中才有電力，十歲才搬到臺中市區。在回憶錄《消失的地方》中，張乾琦自述：「我離開了小村和童年的記憶，但它們永遠都在我的腦海裡。我總是想起自己的叔叔、阿姨、侄子和夥伴們。我從未停止想念自己的出生地，但卻離它越來越遠。」
張乾琦的成績並不理想，重考才考上了豐原高中，並在求學的過程當中，對英語、攝影產生了興趣。1980年，張乾琦進入東吳大學英文系。畢業退伍後，張乾琦回系上當了一年助教存錢。1988年，張乾琦在學姊介紹下，至美國印第安納大學留學，瞄準教育學系的多媒體教育學程，並且兼了三份學校的攝影工作，兩年後取得教育碩士學位。
畢業後，張乾琦參加密蘇里大學新聞學院的新聞工作坊，拍攝了從日本移民到美國的小家庭中，完全不懂英文的小女孩適應新環境的東西文化衝擊。張乾琦以這系列作品，於1990年獲選為美國年度大專院校傑出攝影家首獎，先後進入《國家地理雜誌》、《西雅圖時報》、《巴爾的摩太陽報》工作。並且在接下來的十年中贏得了世界各地二十多項專業攝影比賽獎項及榮譽，其中國際年度新聞攝影獎（英语：Pictures of the Year International）曾獲多次。張乾琦於1995年獲得馬格蘭攝影通訊社提名，2001年正式成為終身會員，為該通訊社第一位華人。
2001年，張乾琦首次於臺灣舉辦個展，地點為臺北市立美術館，其中最受矚目的攝影作品為《链》和《唐人街》。2007年，張乾琦開始主持個人攝影工作坊，翌年於新加坡國家博物館舉辦大型個展「Doubleness」。2015年，策展人鄭慧華邀請張乾琦為「現實秘境」展覽創作，張乾琦因而拍攝了錄像作品《非戰之戰》（The War That Never Was）。俄烏戰爭爆發後，張乾琦多次前往烏克蘭戰場，實地拍攝新聞照片。2022年，張乾琦獲得財團法人卓越新聞獎基金會的新聞志業特殊貢獻獎，並以《與烏克蘭站在一起》獲得菲利普·瓊斯·格里菲斯（英语：Philip Jones Griffiths）獎，為獎項2016年創立以來第一位華人得主。
張乾琦的早期代表作為攝影畫冊《链》（The Chain），在臺灣傳統宗教形式的精神疾病收容機構「龍發堂」拍攝，反映精神病人的生活狀態。早在1980年代，已有多位報導攝影師以龍發堂為題材，如周本驥、侯聰慧，但迴響最大者，當屬張乾琦。1992年，張乾琦開始造訪龍發堂，直到1998年，龍發堂才通過他的攝影申請。拍攝過程緊湊，管理員會先為鍊起的一對病人整理好衣服，再交給張乾琦拍攝。張乾琦每對病人拍兩張，與病人的互動只有幾秒鐘，但他認為「我與這些凝固在底片上的影像的互動始終在延長，而且會越來越長。」
張乾琦的《链》於2001年在臺北市立美術館第一次展出，同年展於威尼斯雙年展，翌年展於聖保羅雙年展。《链》除了正面迴響以外，也受到了嚴厲批評。《链》在美國工作室出片時，其他攝影師讚嘆：「雖然這種治療方式真是極端，不過，這些照片真是美極了！」黃築將張乾琦的攝影視角與周本驥、侯聰慧等人比較，在肯定其攝影美學之餘，批評張乾琦美化了悲劇，「剝削邊緣個體的歷史、脈絡和空間」，是在消費龍發堂的精神病患。2006年，龍發堂已改制為開豐紀念基金會，釋心賢師父接受黃築採訪時表示，曾經「請他（張乾琦）不要把這些孩子的臉拍得這麼清楚，要處理過才行，不然會侵犯他們的隱私權，要發表也要讓我們這裡先看過」，張乾琦卻沒有做到。
張乾琦之所以決定拍攝《唐人街》（China Town），是因為在前馬格南攝影師尤金·理查茲（英语：Eugene Richards）的課程中，聽見老師說唐人街是幾乎沒有被拍過的題材，因此才嘗試這個主題。1996年，在《國家地理雜誌》和紐約社工的支持下，張乾琦搬入唐人街體驗非法移民生活，後於1998年以五種語言在《國家地理雜誌》與《時代雜誌》刊登黑白攝影作品而造成轟動。美國勞工部因此開始查緝苛待非法移民的雇主。1999年，張乾琦的紐約唐人街非法移民攝影獲得世界新聞攝影比賽日常生活類首獎，並於同年10月榮獲尤金‧史密斯紀念基金會（英语：W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund）的人道攝影獎。
2000年以後，張乾琦開始在福建尋找這些唐人街移民的家人，總共拍攝了二十個非法移民的家庭，並且改用彩色膠卷拍攝，以與紐約拍攝的照片形成對比。2008年，張乾琦在新加坡大型個展首次同時展出《唐人街》紐約無身分移民及中國福州家人的照片，並且為其拍攝了第一支錄影作品，在展場以90度角的雙螢幕投影。除了各個家庭分離多少年的字幕說明，張乾琦也放入移民訪談的錄音，表達移民對紐約生活的哀嘆、對親人的思念。《唐人街》分別於2011年、2012年展於威尼斯雙年展和紐約國際攝影中心（英语：International Center of Photography）。
張乾琦的其他攝影系列還有反諷臺灣婚紗攝影的《我願意》（I do I do I do）、揭露仲介越南新娘真相的《囍》（Double Happiness）、以跨國移動時空轉換為主題的《時差》（Jet Lag）、《國家地理雜誌》委託拍攝的《脫北者》（Escape from North Korea）、紀錄坦尚尼亞毒品氾濫的《邦戈熱》（Bongo Fever）等。除了靜態攝影，張乾琦也有結合影片的攝影。
2014年，張乾琦結合環境音和過去拍攝的日常作品，剪成自傳式紀錄短片《在路上》（On the Road）送給兒女。
2006年，國立交通大學教授劉紀蕙（英语：Joyce C. H. Liu）與張乾琦對談時，定義張乾琦的作品為「報導、 新聞、紀實方面的攝影」。推薦張乾琦進入馬格蘭攝影通訊社的攝影師菲利普·瓊斯·格里菲斯（英语：Philip Jones Griffiths）表示：「張乾琦的作品帶著一種特質。他會為身旁的新發現所喜。他是個帶著相機的詩人。」
媒體工作者莊永康在2008年張乾琦的個展評論道，張乾琦的個人風格與擔任攝影記者的經歷有關，作品「具有新聞攝影的基本功要素，但每個系列都在在超越了新聞攝影範疇，向『藝術攝影』領域大步邁進。」徐蘊康則評論，「他的照片論文（photographic essay）不僅讓人反思觀看的命題，這一組組的肖像所隱含的身體的政治性，更開展出當今全球化社會與離散族群、階級、經濟、勞動、家庭……相關的眾多議題」。
荷兰华人

荷兰华人（荷蘭語：Chinezen in Nederland）是指居住在荷兰的华人，不管其国籍为何。而国籍为荷兰的华人则称为华裔荷兰人。截至2012年，根據官方統計數據顯示，有80198人來自中華人民共和國或中華民國（臺灣），或者父母一方來自大中華地區。然而，這些統計數字並沒有包括到其他移民至荷蘭的海外華人，因為最早的華人移民除了來自中國大陸外，還包括來自其他海外華人社群，如荷蘭前殖民地印度尼西亞華人。
早期華人移民到荷蘭主要來自兩個來源：第一次世界大戰後開始抵達該國的商人，大部分來自浙江青田，以及來自英國華人社群的廣東籍船員；在大蕭條期間，許多船員被解僱，而成了商人。之後由於自願遷出和驅逐出境的因素，華人人數下降，至二戰期間剩下的華人不到1000人。荷蘭的另一批早期華裔移民是學生，大部分來自前荷蘭殖民地印度尼西亞而非中國，從1911年的20人中，人數逐年增加至二戰期間；在1957年，來自印度尼西亞的華人大約1400名，其中有1000名是學生。在1911年，來自印尼的華人學生成立了中華會，並與中國各種組織和歐洲各國政黨接觸。大部分來自印度尼西亞的學生為土生華人，傾向使用印尼語言（英语：Languages of the Indonesia）而非母語漢語並在荷蘭中學接受教育。然而，隨著印尼與荷蘭的關係在1950年代末期和1960年代初期日益緊張，華人學生人數急遽下降。雖然來自印尼的華人學生人數下降，但由於1965年印尼排華屠殺，成千上萬的印尼華人被迫離開印尼。大多數回到中國，或者移民至美國及澳大利亞；而曾經在荷蘭受過教育的華人，優先以荷蘭為移民目的地，人數約有5000人，他們大都不諳中文，而以印尼語言作為母語，並將荷蘭語作為學術語言 ，1970至1980年代初，香港成為華人移民到荷蘭的重要的來源地，每年約有600至800人，至1980年代後期下降為300到400人。中國大陸學生在1980年代將荷蘭當作最佳留學國家，一開始，這些是中國政府資助且由考試選拔的學生，並在萊登大學等著名的荷蘭大學獲得入學資格。然而，在1990年代，更多的私人資助的學生、拿獎學金的學生和短期交換學生開始到達。在2002年，由中國大使館的數據顯示，荷蘭約有4000名中國學生。
截至2012年，根據荷蘭中央統計局統計：
共計80198人。比1996年的人口增長了92.8％，這是統計數據的最早年份。然而，人口中的各個群體顯示出不同的增長趨勢。來自中國大陸人數比同期增長了152％，相比之下，來自香港的人數只有輕微的增長，完全是自然增長而非外來增長。荷蘭華人人口分布並不集中，一半以上從事的餐飲業，尤其是開中華餐館。阿姆斯特丹唐人街是荷兰最大的唐人街，但純粹是一個商業區，而非住宅混合商業區，此外还有鹿特丹唐人街和海牙唐人街。 荷蘭華人人口中，從前殖民地蘇利南移居至荷蘭的華裔客家人，約佔荷蘭華人人口10％，荷蘭華裔除了來自大中華地區、印度尼西亞和蘇利南外，也有來自新加坡、馬來西亞、越南、柬埔寨、老挝。

星洲炒米

星洲炒米是一種炒米粉，常見於新加坡和馬來西亞，在美國、加拿大、纽西兰 和澳洲的粵菜餐館也有供應。星洲炒米的「星洲」是指新加坡，但是卻起源於香港，分別有香港和馬來西亞（各有兩種不同的派別）。
据说1950年代已经有星洲米粉。星洲炒米虽以星洲为名，但有部分人士認為源自於馬來西亞的吉隆坡。此外，星洲炒米也是香港常見的米粉食品，但香港的星洲炒米和馬來西亞的炒米是有明顯分別，香港的星洲炒米一定會加入咖哩，馬來西亞的炒米卻使用番茄醬和辣椒醬代替。
星洲炒米的材料通常包括蝦、叉燒和雞蛋，並按照不同地區的烹調習慣，加入芽菜、包菜丝、萝卜丝、辣椒絲、蕃茄醬或咖哩醬等食材。
星洲炒米的起源已不可考，一般認為加入咖哩的星洲炒米是出現在香港的炒米粉食品，至於使用番茄醬調味的炒米粉，則有以下一些說法。
使用番茄醬代替咖哩的星洲炒米是起源自馬來西亞吉隆坡的一道料理，如同在廣州的“揚州炒飯”，在揚州反而吃不到這種味道，星洲炒米在新加坡也有他们独特的味道。在吉隆坡日治末期的其中一個午夜，一名大老闆將車子停在相熟的大排檔前，要求檔主幫忙做一道為他充飢。當時該名檔主已準備收攤，但不敢得罪該名大老闆，且希望能多一些生意，就把一些賣剩的碎米粉、叉燒、芽菜、蝦米、雞蛋和辣椒一起炒出一道雜碎炒米粉，結果得到該名老闆的大讚。在被問起該道料理的名稱時，檔主不好意思是一些碎料炒碎米粉，就隨口說了星洲炒米這名稱。接下來經過該老闆向友人推薦，使得這道“星洲炒米”成為該大排檔的招牌料理，名揚開來，流行於馬來半島。现在也流行于不少地区。
香港的星洲炒米是茶餐廳、快餐店、酒樓和大排檔的常見的午餐和晚餐食品，港式星洲炒米也隨著香港移民而傳至海外各地的唐人街，只要在香港人開設的酒樓茶市及茶餐廳，幾乎都可以吃到這道料理。港式星洲炒米的食材通常包括叉燒、蝦仁、芽菜、雞蛋、洋蔥和辣椒絲，並會加入咖哩粉或咖哩醬及黃薑粉，令炒米粉變成金黃色，並充滿香辣的味道。
馬來西亞人的星洲炒米除了叉燒、蝦仁、芽菜、雞蛋、洋蔥、辣椒外，還會加入番茄醬及辣椒醬來調味，製成色澤帶點淡紅色，味道帶點酸、辣及甜的星洲炒米，做法類似廈門炒米。

緊急救難電話號碼

緊急救難電話號碼，是当人们在遇到危急情況時呼叫警察、消防或急救等部门的緊急服務，这项服务通常是由政府提供的。每個國家的求救電話號碼可能會有差異，不过一般都由3個數字組成，以便求助人記憶和撥打。有些國家有多個求救電話號碼以便联系不同的緊急服務部門。紧急救助电话属于政府资源，如果对其进行滥用除了会阻碍正常使用者，也可能要负上法律的责任。
歐洲和使用全球移動通信系統的行動電話，其求救電話號碼大多統一為112，且只要能接受到訊號即可撥打，即使自家電信業者無訊號，別家電信系統業者有訊號亦可使用；甚至電話內沒有插入SIM卡亦可撥打。此外若行動電話有設定鍵盤密碼鎖者，112是惟一可以不經解鍵盤鎖就可直接撥打的號碼，以爭取時效讓緊急狀態時任一隻電話都可緊急救助。一些國家、地區可使用簡訊、視訊報案，以便於聽障人士及其他特殊狀況時仍可求助。
在東亞地區，日本是第一個開始大規模開發電話網的國家。台灣、朝鮮半島、關東州、庫頁島和南洋諸島的電話網便是在日本統治下引入的，因此在這些區域也使用了與日本相同的119，當時為總合的緊急通報號碼。
二战结束后，南洋諸島因受美軍佔領統治，因此它們被更改為北美常見的911，而台灣及朝鮮半島則繼續使用與日本相同的119。朝鲜战争後，北韓於重建期間改採前经济互助委员会成員國使用的消防01・救急02・警察03號碼。 日本後來於1948年將警察的緊急通報號碼自119分離，並設為110，中國大陸、台灣亦仿效日本設為110。香港在殖民地時期起採用與英国相同的999，並且將報警、消防及召喚緊急救護服務統一使用電話號碼999，澳門亦仿效香港採用999。韓國的緊急號碼是112。

Arab Street (Chinese: 阿拉伯街; Malay: Jalan Arab) is an area located in the Kampong Glam neighbourhood in Singapore. Arab Street can refer to both the street name as well as the surrounding area, which is typically considered to include other surrounding streets, such as but not limited to Bussorah Street, Haji Lane, Bali Lane and Muscat Street. Today, it is a considered a historical site with many conserved shophouses in the area.
There are two possible explanations for how the name came about:
Muna (2023 film)

The film was screened at the London Short Film Festival under LSFF 2024: 'London Lives' on 25 January 2024.
It had its International premiere on 20 February 2024, as part of the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, in Generation 14plus.
Djamel Sedjati

Djamel Sedjati (also written Sejati, Arabic: جمال سجاتي, born May 3, 1999, in Tiaret) is an Algerian middle-distance runner specializing in the 800 meters. He is the fifth fastest man in history at the distance, behind Marco Arop, Emanuel Wanyonyi, Wilson Kipketer and world record holder David Rudisha. Sedjati won the bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in the 800 metres event.
Previously unknown in Algeria, Sedjati came to prominence after achieving notable performances in several Algerian national meetings. On 26 March, at the Algerian Winter Championships in Algiers, he finished second to Mohamed Ali Gouaned in the 600 meters with a time of 1:17:40. For 800 meters, he also ran 1:45.99 in a Batna meeting on 12 April, defeating Mohamed Ali Gouaned. The following month, Sedjati finished second behind Mohamed Belbachir in an Algiers meeting on 7 May, clocking a new personal best of 1:45.86.
Sedjati later ran in some French meetings, where he qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics in the 800 meters after running a personal best of 1:44.91 in Strasbourg, France, on 16 June. He also ran as a pacemaker in subsequent meetings, helping compatriot Yassine Hethat qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics in the same event.
Upon arriving in Tokyo to compete in the Olympic 800 meters, Sedjati and his compatriot Bilal Tabti both tested positive for COVID-19 on 24 July and were put into quarantine, forcing them to miss their Olympic event.
At the 2022 World Athletics Championships, Sedjati finished second in the 800m final, clocking 1:44.14 to win the silver medal.
At the 2023 World Athletics Championshops, Sedjati made it into the 800m final, but was disqualified due to a lane violation.
On 7 July, Sedjati won the 800m at the Meeting de Paris, running 1:41.56 to become, at the time, the third fastest man at the distance, behind Wilson Kipketer who ran 1:41.11 in 1997, and David Rudisha, the current world record holder, who ran 1:40.91 at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Sedjati set in the process a new Algerian national record, replacing the previous record by Taoufik Makhloufi since the 2016 Summer Olympics by more than a second.
Five days later, at the Herculis Meeting in Monaco, he won the 800 metres in a time of 1:41.46, thereby improving on his personal best from five days prior by a tenth of a second.
Sedjati qualified for the 800 meter final, on 10 August at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, after missing the event in the previous Olympic cycle due to sickness. He reached the final after winning his race in both the heats and semi-final with times of 1:45:84 and 1:45.08, respectively. Sedjati had remained undefeated in the 2024 season until the Olympic final, where he finished third winning a bronze medal with a time of 1:41.50, behind silver medalist Marco Arop, who finished in 1:41.20, and gold medalist Emmanuel Wanyonyi, who finished one hundredth of a second ahead of Arop in a time of 1:41.19. This shifted Sedjati from the third fastest to the fifth fastest man at 800m.

The King of Masks

The King of Masks (simplified Chinese: 变脸; traditional Chinese: 變臉; pinyin: Biàn Liǎn) is a 1996 Chinese film directed by Wu Tianming.
In 1930s China, Wang is The King of Masks, an aged street performer who practices the change-mask opera art of bian lian. He laments that he has no male heirs to carry on his mysterious and complicated art and trade. At an illegal child market, Wang buys what he believes to be an orphan boy to become his adopted grandson and apprentice.
However, Wang soon learns his new disciple is in fact a girl. As tradition dictates that he cannot pass his art onto a girl, he tries to abandon her, but she stubbornly stays with him. He later calls her "doggie" and has her refer to him as "boss". He then begins to train her to be a flexible contortionist street performer. While looking at his masks, she accidentally sets his humble houseboat on fire. Out of guilt, she runs away. She is then captured by two men and held in a room with a boy to be sold later. Doggie helps the boy escape and takes him to Wang to have as a grandson.
Wang is falsely accused of kidnapping the boy, a rich family's child, and is thrown in jail. Doggie goes to one of her friends, a famous performer in the local opera, threatening to kill herself if he or any of his guests, including a local military general, are unable to help Wang. The King of Masks is eventually freed, and he finally accepts the girl as his granddaughter and teaches her his art.
The film won a number of awards at various film festivals around the world. It was released in the United States on June 13, 1999 on a limited theatrical release and earned about one million US dollars. Roger Ebert, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, gave the film 3 stars, calling it a film "of simplicity, beauty and surprising emotional power" that "benefits enormously from the beauty of the setting, the costumes and the customs".
Armenian Street, George Town

Armenian Street is a narrow street in the city of George Town within the Malaysian state of Penang. Located within the city's UNESCO World Heritage Site, the road has gained popularity in recent years for its rich cultural offerings and street art.
One of a number of places in the world that was named after the nation-state of Armenia, Armenian Street was originally part of a Malay settlement. The subsequent influx of Armenians and Chinese helped to shape the street's multicultural character. Notably, Armenian Street was also the site of Sun Yat-sen's Penang conference, which ultimately contributed to the downfall of the Qing Empire in 1911.
Today, Armenian Street is home to the famous 'Children on a Bicycle' mural by Ernest Zacharevic and various other forms of street art, as well as Chinese clan houses, museums, and shophouses that sell antiques and souvenirs.
Originally, Armenian Street was called Malay Lane, after a Malay settlement that used to exist around the area. The Malay influences can still be seen to this day, particularly along the westernmost section of Armenian Street, where the Penang Islamic Museum is located.
By 1808, the street was renamed as Armenian Street due to the influx of Armenian traders who resided along the road. The Armenians went on to establish St. Gregory's Church within George Town in 1822, while the Sarkies Brothers founded the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in the 1880s. The Armenian presence was short-lived, however, as most of the Armenians had already left by the time the church was demolished in 1937.
The Chinese gradually took over most of Armenian Street around the mid 19th century and built clan houses, such as the Khoo Kongsi, within the vicinity of the road. Concurrently, Armenian Street became notorious for Chinese triad activities, with the Hokkien-dominated Khian Teik Society establishing itself along the road. As a result, Armenian Street witnessed heavy fighting during the 1867 Penang Riots, where the British authorities, reinforced with sepoys, built blockades and used force to quell the turf war between rival Chinese and Malay secret societies.
In 1910, Sun Yat-sen chaired the Penang conference within a townhouse at Armenian Street, during which he managed to raise $8,000 for revolutionary activities in China against the ruling Qing dynasty. The townhouse has since been converted into the Sun Yat-sen Museum, which became one of the filming locations for the Chinese movie, Road to Dawn.
Woman with Bicycle

Woman with Bicycle is a six-story wall painting created by the American painter, sculptor and muralist Knox Martin in 1979 under the sponsorship of the Public Art Fund.
A well-known New York City art landmark, Woman with Bicycle was located at Houston and MacDougal Streets in Manhattan. Vivian Raynor of The New York Times wrote in 1981 of Knox Martin and Woman with Bicycle:
In 2002, Woman with Bicycle was covered over with an underwear ad.

Brumby's Bakeries

Brumby's Bakeries (commonly shortened to just Brumby's) is a chain of Australian and New Zealand retail bakeries. It was established in Victoria in 1975 by Roger Gillespie (co-founder of Bakers Delight) with the opening of its first bakery, The Old Style Bread Centre, in Ashburton, Victoria.
In 2003, the chain was listed on the Bendigo Stock Exchange.
On 18 December 2006, Brumby's announced Retail Food Group had proposed a merger.
As of 2007, Brumby's Bakeries has over 320 franchises throughout Australia and New Zealand, up from 280 in 2003.
In 2012 Brumby's Bakeries Managing Director wrote an internal memo that suggested franchisees increase their prices and "let the carbon tax take the blame".
The bakery chain is part of the publicly listed Retail Food Group, which also owns Gloria Jeans, Donut King, and Michel's Patisserie.
Ambo Sooloh

Ambo Sooloh (1891–1963) was a Singaporean businessman and philanthropist. Born in Singapore to a wealthy mercantile family, Sooloh was one of the founders of the Malay-language newspaper Utusan Melayu. He also served as the chairman of the Singapore Malay Union (Kesatuan Melayu Singapura) from 1934 to 1937.
Sooloh's father, Omar Ali, owned black pepper and gambier plantations in Borneo and Sumatra. In 1880, he emigrated from his hometown of Pontianak to Singapore and soon became the de facto leader of Bugis-Malay businessmen in the region. Sooloh, his youngest son, was born in Singapore in 1891. Omar Ali died in 1921, leaving Sooloh to take charge of the property and trading empire that he had established in Singapore.
In 1927, Sooloh was appointed as a Justice of the Peace. In 1934, on behalf of the entire Malay community in Singapore, he presented the governor of the Straits Settlements, Sir Shenton Thomas, with a letter affirming "their loyalty to the country and the British Government." The same year, Sooloh was chosen to succeed the recently deceased Mohamed Eunos bin Abdullah as both chairman of the Singapore Malay Union (Kesatuan Melayu Singapiura) and Malay representative in the Legislative Council. Under Sooloh's leadership from 1934 to 1937, the Malay Union worked closely with the government and only offered "mild criticism" of their Malay-related policies. Sooloh was succeeded by Daud bin Mohamed Shah.
In January 1938, twenty Malay Union members—including future President of Singapore Yusof Ishak—began discussing the idea of a Malay-language newspaper fully owned and managed by native Malayan Malays, as opposed to Muslims of Arab or Indian descent. Such an endeavour had only been attempted once (by another Malay Union member) and it was met with little success due to a lack of funds. To ensure that their proposed newspaper would not suffer a similar fate, Yusof Ishak and others were tasked with selling shares to raise enough capital for the newly-registered Utusan Melayu Press Limited. Although they failed to cover much ground, Sooloh and Malay Union chairman Daud were able to raise S$8,500 to keep the union's newspaper dreams alive.
The newspaper's board of directors consisted of Daud as its president and Sooloh, Abdul Hamid bin Mohamed, Ismail bin Mohamed Taib, Abdul Ghani bin Omar, Abdul Jalil bin Harun, and Yusof Ishak as its members. On 29 May 1939, Utusan Melayu's first issue was published.
In December 1943, Sooloh became one of the first members of the Malay Welfare Association (MWA). He was also a trustee of Sultan Mosque, as well as a patron of both the Darul Taklam football club and the Malay Soccer Association (Persatuan Bolasepak Melayu).
Sooloh died in 1963, aged 72. He was buried near his father at Singapore's oldest Muslim cemetery in Jalan Kubor (behind Masjid Malabar). Two years after Sooloh's death, the three-storey house that Sooloh, his two wives, six daughters, and four sons had lived in was torn down. A lane in a former Malay settlement (present-day Kaki Bukit) was once named after Sooloh.

Languages of Rwanda

Kinyarwanda is the national language of Rwanda, and the first language of almost the entire population of the country. It is one of the country's official languages alongside French, English, and Swahili.
French had been the language of administration from the country's time under Belgian administration, between the World War I and independence in 1962. Since the 1994 genocide, the complications of relations with successive French governments and the return of numerous Tutsi refugees from anglophone Uganda meant an increase in the use of English by a higher proportion of the population and administration.
In 2008, the government changed the medium of education from French to English. By 2018 the Rwandan government had introduced French as a foreign language class at the primary school level, and French was still widely used by members of the upper classes. A Rwandan historian, Antoine Mugesera, stated that French is still used among the educated, but Kinyarwanda is used for matters relating to simple topics and messages. English is now considered as the primary language among other foreign languages.
Swahili is used by some people, in commerce, and is taught as a subject in schools.
French was spoken by a bit under 6% of the population according to the 2012 census and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. English was reported to be spoken by 15% of the population in 2009, though the same report found the proportion of French-speakers to be 68%. Swahili is spoken by fewer than 1%.
Inhabitants of Rwanda's Nkombo Island speak Mashi, a language closely related to Kinyarwanda.
Park Beom-kye

Park Beom-kye (Korean: 박범계; Hanja: 朴範界; born 27 April 1963) is a South Korean politician who has served in the National Assembly representing Daejeon since 2012. He also served as the Minister of Justice under President Moon Jae-in from 2021 to 2022.
After passing the bar exam and completing subsequent training at the Judicial Research and Training Institute, Park began his career as a judge at Seoul Central District Court. In 1998 he was transferred to Jeonju District Court and in 2001 to Daejeon District Court.
In October 2002, Park ended his career at the court to join the presidential campaign of Roh Moo-hyun, who was expected to lose the election. After Roh's victory in the 2002 South Korean presidential election, Park continued to work for Roh as a member of his transition team and as a secretary at the Office of the President.
After failing to gain his party's nomination for the general election in 2004 or by-election in 2007, Park finally became the party's candidate in the 2008 election. In 2012 he ran again for the same constituency and has represented Daejeon in the National Assembly since.
After operation "Miracle" in late August 2021 successfully evacuated about 400 people from Afghanistan who worked with the Korean embassy, KOICA and Korean military missions, Park said his ministry would submit an amendment to Immigration Act to parliament so that "people who have made special contributions to Korea or who have expanded its common good" can file for a long-term F2 visa.
Park holds two bachelor's degrees - one in law from Yonsei University and the other in economics from Hanbat National University.
Austrocedrus

Austrocedrus is a genus of conifer belonging to the cypress family (Cupressaceae). It has only one species, Austrocedrus chilensis, native to the Valdivian temperate rain forests and the adjacent drier steppe-forests of central-southern Chile and western Argentina from 33°S to 44°S latitude. It is known in its native area as ciprés de la cordillera or cordilleran cypress, and elsewhere by the scientific name as Austrocedrus, or sometimes as Chilean incense-cedar or Chilean cedar. The generic name means "southern cedar".
It is a member of subfamily Callitroideae, a group of distinct southern hemisphere genera associated with the Antarctic flora. It is closely related to the New Zealand and New Caledonian genus Libocedrus, and some botanists treat it within this genus, as Libocedrus chilensis, though it resembles Libocedrus less than the other South American cypress genus Pilgerodendron does.
It is a slow-growing, narrowly conical evergreen tree which grows from 10 to 24 m in height, with scale-like leaves arranged in decussate pairs. The leaves are unequal in size, with pairs of larger (4–8 mm) leaves alternating with pairs of smaller (2–3 mm) leaves, giving a flattened shoot. Each leaf has a prominent white stomatal stripe along the outer edge. The cones are 5–10 mm long, with four scales, two very small sterile basal scales and two large fertile scales; each fertile scale has two winged seeds 3–4 mm long. This is a dioecious species, with male and female cones growing on separate plants.
Cordilleran cypress is found in the evergreen mountain forests of the Andes, usually on drier sites near the temperate rainforest, in open pure woods (where it is often locally dominant on the eastern slopes of the Andes in southwestern Argentina) or in association with Araucaria araucana and Nothofagus species. Young plants grow best in conditions of 8% or higher soil humidity and intermediate to high solar radiation.
It has been introduced to northwest Europe and the Pacific Northwest of North America, where it is occasionally grown in botanical gardens.
Eucalyptus cinerea

Eucalyptus cinerea, commonly known as the Argyle apple, mealy stringbark or silver dollar tree, is a species of small- to medium-sized tree that is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It has rough, fibrous bark on the trunk and branches, usually only juvenile, glaucous, egg-shaped evergreen leaves, flower buds in groups of three, white flowers and conical to bell-shaped fruit.
Eucalyptus cinerea is a tree that typically grows to a height of 15–30 m (49–98 ft) tall and forms a lignotuber. It has thick, fibrous, reddish brown to grey brown, longitudinally fissured bark on the trunk to the small branches. The leaves on young plants and on coppice regrowth are arranged in opposite pairs, sessile, glaucous, broadly egg-shaped to more or less round, up to 80 mm (3.1 in) long and 50 mm (2.0 in) wide. Intermediate leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, glaucous, egg-shaped to lance-shaped, 48–90 mm (1.9–3.5 in) long and 20–45 mm (0.79–1.77 in) wide on a petiole 4–15 mm (0.16–0.59 in) long. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, lance-shaped, 90–140 mm (3.5–5.5 in) long and 15–50 mm (0.59–1.97 in) wide on a petiole up to 11 mm (0.43 in) long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of three in leaf axils on a peduncle 2–9 mm (0.079–0.354 in) long, the individual buds sessile or on a pedicel up to 3 mm (0.12 in) long. Mature buds are glaucous, diamond-shaped, 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) long and 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs between May and November and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, conical to bell-shaped capsule 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) long and 5–9 mm (0.20–0.35 in) wide with the valves level with the rim or slightly beyond.
Eucalyptus cinerea was first formally described by the botanist George Bentham in 1867 from the herbarium of Ferdinand von Mueller, and the description was published in Flora Australiensis. The specific epithet (cinerea) is a Latin word meaning "ash-coloured" or "grey" referring to the white, waxy bloom on the foliage, buds and fruit of this species.
Two subspecies of E. cinerea have been described and the names accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
A third subspecies, subspecies victoriensis was described in 2018. It is the tallest subspecies and has adult leaves in its crown.
The Wiradjuri people of New South Wales use the name gundhay for the species.
Argyle apple is typically found from north of Bathurst (33° S), in central west New South Wales, to the Beechworth area of Victoria (36° S). It is often part of grassy or sclerophyll woodland communities growing in shallow and relatively infertile soils usually as part of the understorey. Subspecies cinerea occurs in the Australian Capital Territory and Captains Flat in New South Wales and subspecies triplex in the Australian Capital Territory and Captains Flat in New South Wales. Subspecies victoriensis is only known from hilly country near Beechworth in Victoria.
The Wiradjuri people of NSW use the bark and timber of the species to make tools, string and rope, shelters and to make fire.
Eucalyptus cinerea is used as a park and street tree where it is planted widely in Canberra.
White brick building

White brick buildings became common in New York City during the 1950s (and are therefore considered to be part of the modernist movement), even though they were not totally unknown to the city before that, as the 1907 Plaza Hotel shows. That said, between the 1950s and 1970s, around 140 white brick apartments were built in the city, defining a lot of its post-war character. Since 2008, white brick buildings became recognized as an important element in New York, with the requirement of the first landmark restoration of such as building: the 1960 co-op at 900 Fifth Avenue. As white brick buildings age, they are considered to require higher maintenance than other construction styles.
