Black Diamond (library)
The Black Diamond( Danish: Den Sorte Diamant) is a modern waterfront extension to the Royal Danish Library's old building on Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
Its quasi-official nickname is a reference to its polished black granite cladding and irregular angles.
Designed by Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen, the Black Diamond was completed in 1999 as the first in a series of large- scale cultural buildings along Copenhagen's waterfront.
Apart from its function as a library, the building houses a number of other public facilities and activities, most of which are located around the central, toplit atrium which cuts into the building with a huge glazed front facing the harbour.
The facilities include a 600- seat auditorium, the Queen's Hall, used for concerts —mainly chamber music and jazz—literary events, theatrical performances and conferences.
There are also exhibition spaces, a bookshop, a restaurant, a café and a roof terrace.
Two museums are based in the Black Diamond, the National Museum of Photography and a small museum dedicated to cartoon art.

Black Diamond Coal Mining Company
The Black Diamond Coal Mining Company was formed in 1861, consolidating the Cumberland and Black Diamond coal mines in the region of Mount Diablo, in Contra Costa County, California.
During its years of operation as a mining company, it established three towns: Nortonville, California, Southport, Oregon, and Black Diamond, Washington.
The company's mines in California and its settlement of Nortonville later became part of the Black Diamond Mines Regional Park and a California Historical Landmark.
Several railroad lines were built in California and Washington to support the company's mines, and the company operated numerous ships to transport its coal.
As the mines played out and petroleum became the more common source of energy, the company closed its mines and transitioned into real estate as the Southport Land and Commercial Company.
Black Diamond Coal Mining Railroad
The Black Diamond Coal Mining Railroad was long and ran from Black Diamond Landing, California( now part of the city of Pittsburg, California) to Nortonville, California.
It was owned and operated by the Black Diamond Coal Mining Company and therefore did not have its own official name.
Over the years, it has been known by at least four different names.
( A report prepared by the State in the 1880s referred to it as both the" Black Diamond Coal Mining Railroad Company" and the" Black Diamond Railroad."
It has also been referred to as the" Black Diamond Coal Company Railroad" and the" Black Diamond Coal and Railroad Company.")
The railroad was built by Gold Rush- era civil engineer and artist Sherman Day, and opened for service in 1868 primarily to serve the Black Diamond Coal Mine at Nortonville.
At the town of Cornwall, California the railroad crossed the tracks of the Southern Pacific Railroad using an overhead trestle.
It was mostly standard gauge, however there was a small segment that was narrow gauge from the mine portals to coal bunkers.
The railroad had four locomotives, two built in San Francisco by H. J. Booth at the Union Iron Works, one built in San Francisco by Vulcan Iron Works and one from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Three locomotives had names: The" D. O. Mills"( named after Darius Ogden Mills), the" Hayward"( named after Alvinza Hayward), and the" Black Diamond".
One locomotive was a narrow- gauge engine that was used to bring mine cars from the mine portals to the bunkers.
Trains ran by gravity from Nortonville to Black Diamond Landing because it was all downhill.
The railroad was abandoned in about 1885 when the Black Diamond Coal Mining Company closed its mine at Nortonville and moved all of its employees to another of the Company's mines at Black Diamond, Washington Territory.
In 1888, two of its locomotives, the" D. O. Mills" and the" Black Diamond" were transferred to the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad(" BB&BC") in the state of Washington.
The BB&BC was a company that had strong ties to the Black Diamond Coal Mining Company because the two companies had the same management.
The locomotive named" Hayward" was sold for scrap.
Today, part of the old roadbed can still be seen along Nortonville Road between Pittsburg, California and Nortonville.
The terminus at Nortonville is now a historic preserve managed by the East Bay Regional Park District.
Århus Mølle
Århus Mølle( Aarhus Mill) is a building in Aarhus, Denmark.
The mill dates back to at least 1289 but the oldest of the existing buildings are from the 1600s while the main building is from c. 1700.
The building complex comprise three buildings; a main building from c. 1700, a stables from the 1600s and a malt mill from 1782.
Originally constructed on Vestergade in the Indre by neighborhood it has since been moved to the Old Town Museum where it is now used as the main administrative building and for some museum- related workshops.
Many places in Aarhus has been named for the mill; the Aarhus river used to be called Mølleåen( Mill- river) and there was a large pond by the mill known as Mølledammen( Mill pond).
The city gate Mølleport( Mill Gate) lay on the corner of" Vester Alle" and Vestergade.
Until 1910 a part of Vestergade was called Møllegade( Mill Street).
Present day Mølleparken( Mill Park) was created on the old pond used by the mill.

Black Diamond (buffalo)
Black Diamond was a buffalo or North American bison, housed at Central Park Menagerie (Central Park Zoo); according to legend, it was the model for the US buffalo nickel coin introduced in 1913, designed and sculpted by American sculptor James Earle Fraser in 1911.
Black Diamond was born in 1893 of a bull and cow given to the zoo by Barnum and Bailey.
It weighed 1550 pounds (ultimately yielding 750 pounds of usable meat).
It was a popular attraction at the zoo.
Sick and disabled at age 22, Black Diamond was put up for auction June 28, 1915.
However, no bids were received.
It was purchased for slaughter in a private sale for $300 by A. Silz, inc., a game and poultry dealer.
It was slaughtered November 17 and "Black Diamond Steaks" were sold for $2 a pound.
Fred Santer, a New York taxidermist, mounted Black Diamond's head and turned its hide into a then-fashionable 13-foot automobile robe.
In the April 1952 issue of "Natural History" magazine, George S. Goodwin, the Associate Curator of Mammals at the Museum of Natural History, wrote "(Black Diamond) was an excellent object for the artistic brush. ...
Despite his size, he was quite docile.
This virtue made him the perfect model."
However, James Fraser never said that Black Diamond had been his model, and the Bureau of the Mint has doubts as to whether any specific bison was Fraser's model, their argument being that Fraser would have been well familiar with the species already.
It is also reported to have been the model for the obverse (face) of the $10 U.S. Banknote, Series 1901.
