Detroit waste incinerator. The Detroit waste incinerator, also known as the Detroit Resource Recovery Facility and as Detroit Renewable Power, was an American waste-to-energy plant that operated in Detroit, Michigan from 1989 until 2019. It was demolished from 2022 to 2023.

Description 
The Detroit waste incinerator, also known as the Detroit Resource Recovery Facility, was a waste-to-energy facility located at 5700 Russell Street, Detroit. The plant was also often known by the name of operator Detroit Renewable Power. It covered 15 acres.

While operating, the plant processed 5,000 tons of waste on a daily basis and provided energy to 75,000 nearby homes. The plant was described by Detroit authorities as "the largest municipal solid waste incinerator in Michigan."

History 
Plans for the incinerator were announced in May 1986. In 1987, Greenpeace protested at the site, putting up a banner that read "Mayor Coleman Young - more cancer isn't the answer stop the Detroit Incinerator." Costing approximately $500 million, the plant opened in 1989. 

Initially operated by the City of Detroit, the plant was operated by Detroit Renewable Power until March 27, 2019. Odors from the facility caused complaints from neighbor residents who also complained about respiratory issues. Local residents launched a campaign to close the plant, and shared concerns that the plant burned waste from affluent neighborhoods predominantly occupied by white communities, polluting the air near the plant which is surrounded by poorer communities, predominantly occupied by black residents. Local group Breathe Free Detroit organized a petition to close the plant.

Demolition started in 2022, managed by Homrich Wrecking company. The plant's smokestack was demolished on June 11, 2023.

Benjamin Constant Bridge. The Benjamin Constant Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte Benjamin Constant), also known as Metallic Bridge (Ponte Metálica), is a suspension structure located on Sete de Setembro Avenue that crosses the Igarapé do Mestre Chico between the Cachoeirinha and Centro neighborhoods, in the Brazilian city of Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas.

Construction began in 1893 under the supervision of English engineer Frank Hirst Hebblethwaite. The following year, the masonry pillars were ready to receive the metal structure, whose parts were manufactured by the English company Dorman Long & Company Limited, a firm that still exists today.

History 
To provide greater safety for the population, the then state governor Eduardo Ribeiro decided to build the bridge in iron and steel. During this period, Manaus was developing a style of architecture that was entirely English, exemplified by the Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market.

The bridge, which is considered one of the most beautiful in Brazil and one of the most imposing in Manaus, was built between 1893 and 1895 with parts imported from England, supervised by engineer Frank Hirst Hebblethwait and inaugurated on September 7, 1895.

The Benjamim Constant Bridge is known by other names such as Terceira Ponte (Third Bridge), Ponte Metálica (Metallic Bridge) and Ponte da Cachoeirinha (Cachoeirinha Bridge). It was completely rebuilt in 1938 during Álvaro Maia's administration. In 1967, during the administration of then governor Danilo de Mattos Areosa, the second recovery process began, under the responsibility of CSN (Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional), a company based in Rio de Janeiro, in partnership with DER-AM (Amazonas Department of Roads and Highways).

Without renovation for almost twenty years, on January 25, 2005, the bridge was closed to heavy vehicle traffic due to the risk of collapse. Two years later, the state government began to restore it as part of the Manaus Igarapés Social and Environmental Program - Prosamim. Empresa de Construção Civil e Elétrica Ltda. - Econcel was responsible for carrying out the work, which, in addition to state resources, was funded by the Federal Government and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

Structure 
Over 120 years old, the Benjamin Constant Bridge, which is 161 meters long and 10.50 meters wide, with two spans of twenty meters, two of thirty meters and one of sixty meters, was reopened on September 25, 2008, along with the first stage of the Largo do Mestre Chico.

The bridge had its structure reinforced to withstand the heavy traffic on the avenue, while maintaining its original characteristics. In 2009, it was completely renovated again under Eduardo Braga's government.

According to a historical survey carried out during the Amazonino Mendes administration by the Secretariat of Communication (1987), the first bridge in the neighborhood was built of wood and called Itacoatiara Bridge by the locals.

Creekside Discovery Centre. The Creekside Discovery Centre is a  natural habitat in Deptford in the London Borough of Lewisham. It is owned by the National Grid and managed by the Creekside Education Trust. Formerly a gas works, the centre is a brownfield habitat incorporating the only existing sloping beach into Deptford Creek. Other habitats on the site include a pond, constructed in a project coordinated by the Creekside Education Trust in partnership with Lewisham College, and a sandbank, built in 2001.

History
The Creekside Centre became a nature reserve as a result of an agreement between the Creekside Renewal Project and British Gas, the latter was unable to build on the site due to the existence of a large-diameter gas pipe on the site.

In 2015 the Friend’s of Creekside scheme was launched to help fund the charity, develop on-site facilities, and raise local awareness of the nature reserve.

The site contains a 250kg propeller from a former Scottish fishing boat, the Northern Star.

Wildlife

Historically the site has been associated with the black redstart, although habitat destruction in the wider area has meant they are no longer present. In 2011 sand martins began nesting in the sandbank on the site.

Two nationally rare species of wasps have been found on the site; the spider-hunting wasp Auplopus carbonarius and the mason wasp Microdynerus exilis.

The Creekside Discovery Centre is the only site in London on which the critically endangered small-flowered catchfly, a wildflower on the Plantlife Red List, has been identified. Across the surrounding conservation area, 300 species of wildflower have been identified.

Architecture
The original plans to develop an educational facility on the site involved a floating centre located in the creek itself. The eventual building design built was a timber framed, cedar-clad building, incorporating a brown roof was constructed in 2002 at a cost of £500,000.

Events
The Creekside Centre provides educational sessions for local schools, guided walks along Deptford Creek, special events for the public, and venue hire.

In 2012 the site hosted a performance of the Odyssey by local theatre group Teatro Vivo.

Funding
The Creekside Centre has received funding from various sources including the City Bridge Trust. Since the autumn of 2020 the centre has received funding grants through a partnership with the company constructing the Thames Tideway Tunnel.

Elin Jacobsson. Elin Jacobsson (1886 – 1978), was one of the first two women to graduate from a Swedish educational program as a civil engineer.

Early life 
Elin Jacobsson was born on 9 January 1886 in Adolf Fredrik parish in Stockholm to August Leonard Jacobsson (born 1850), a cartographer at the General Staff Lithographic Institute, and Josefina Wilhelmina Bernhardina Jacobsson, nee Ammilon, born (1849). She had two brothers.

Education 
Jacobsson entered the Technical School in Stockholm (now called Konstfack) which had established a department for "female disciples" nearly five decades earlier in 1859. Women on this course of study were allowed to pursue "various types of education in, among other things, construction technology, mechanical engineering, drawing technology and in art industrial occupations." 

After completing their studies as architectural draftsmen in the women's department in the school, Elin Jacobsson and her classmate Anna Sandstedt (born 1885) transferred to the Construction Vocational School department. That programme provided a three-year training course for students hoping to become supervisors in the construction industry. After having to get special permission from the school's board because they were women, the two students completed the mandatory six-month masonry internship, which was done in the "utmost secrecy" in the basement. In 1907, Elin Jacobsson and Anna Sandstedt graduated as "structural engineers," the first women to do so. The news was published in the women's magazine Idun.

Career 
In the 1910 census, Jacobsson is listed as a drawing assistant, and the next year, on 18 February 1911, she received an employment offer from architect Axel Brunskog in Linköping.

While details remain unknown about the lives of either woman in later years, Elin Jacobsson was reported to have worked as a draftsman and structural engineer at an architectural and engineering office.

Private life 
Elin Jacobsson married Bror Gustaf Johansson in 1913 and took his last name as her own. He died in 1954. 

She died on 14 July 1978 in Hedvig Eleonora parish in Stockholm and is buried in her family's grave at the Northern Cemetery in Solna in Stockholm County.
