Cedergrenska Tower of the Danderyd commune is an excellent example of the desire to construct elaborate medieval architecture by the wealthy during the late 19th-century. Construction on the Cedergrenska Tower began in 1896 and the exterior took around 12 years and three different architects to complete. The project was the brainchild of Albert Gotthard Nestor Cedergren, a hunter with a large family fortune that he could spend on acquiring land and building the structure. The tower was designed to……
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand’s national carrier has put a temporary hold on new bookings for flights into the country while the government tries to find enough quarantined hotel rooms for people returning home. Air New Zealand says the hold will last for three weeks and it is also trying to better align flights with the hotel locations. New Zealand has eliminated community transmission of the coronavirus but is still getting cases at the border. For the most…
BEIJING (AP) — China on Monday accused the U.S. of flexing its military muscles in the South China Sea by conducting joint exercises with two U.S. aircraft carrier groups in the strategic waterway. Foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said the exercises were performed “totally out of ulterior motives” and undermined stability in the area. “Against such a backdrop, the U.S. deliberately dispatched massive forces to conduct large-scale military exercises in the relevant waters of the South China Sea to…
The village of Dois Rios is home to one church, two restaurants, zero grocery stores, and about 90 residents living among dozens of buildings that are being swallowed by the tropical forest. It sits 100 miles west of Rio de Janeiro on the southern coast of a rugged, largely untouched island called Ilha Grande, where a small plain breaks the mountainous landscape. Despite the lush, encroaching canopy, the buildings are not hard to find. They are scattered among the……
The U.S. Treasury Department released Monday a highly anticipated trove of data identifying every company that has received a loan of more than $150,000 from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) — a list that includes some of the hottest names in the tech startup world, including Bolt Mobility, Getaround, Luminar, Stackin, TuSimple and Velodyne. The data, which lists the names of companies that received small business loans over $150,000, was the result of a push for greater transparency around……
By the time Europeans first made contact with the Passamaquoddy tribe along the rugged coastline of what is now Maine, fire had been an agricultural tool there for centuries. Between summertime harvests, tribes burned the unforgiving, rocky terrain from which blueberries sprung forth, a custom that encouraged the new growth of what was, to many Indigenous people, a sacred fruit. Colonizers carried on the stark tradition, and burning blueberry fields by hand, with help from family, friends, and neighbors,……
Unbeknownst to many Connecticut residents, the small state was home to no less than 12 Nike Missile sites during the Cold War. Designed to protect the United States from Russia, the installations were constructed in two parts: a control/radar site and a launch site. The HA-26 launch site is located in Glastonbury, with its control/radar site Portland. Both are easily accessible on a long road in Meshomasic State Forest. The HA-26 site was in operation from 1956 to 1963……
It’s already there in the language: the way safn is both a collection and a museum, and part of the Icelandic word for library, and a term one might use to describe a group of sheep. It’s there, too, in how sets of things in the parlor have a way of moving outside the home—to sloping mountainside yards, to lakeside sheds, to downtown storefronts. It’s the Icelandic predilection for museums, for turning private collections into public displays—evident in places……

November 9, 2019, marked the 30th anniversary dismantling of the infamous Berlin Wall. This bastion of of division surrounded a portion of the city, separating an enclave of Western capitalism from surrounding communist East Germany. Since then, parts of the wall have been sold or distributed across the world. These two graffiti-splashed slabs found their way to Singapore in October 2016, a gift from Germany to commemorate 50 years of bilateral diplomatic relations. They now reside on a secluded hillock outside……
William Morris was one of the greatest artists of the Victorian era, who is commonly known for his textile designs. However, Morris was also a prolific writer, poet, translator, and social activist. His medievalist novels are considered one of the earliest examples of the high fantasy genre, directly influencing J. R. R. Tolkien. From 1871 until his death in 1896, Morris mainly lived in a limestone manor house in the Cotswolds village of Kelmscott called Kelmscott Manor. It was……
Tehachapi Loop is an amazing feat of ingenuity to raise or lower a train a significant elevation in a very short distance. The project was completed in 1876, and has remained largely unchanged today. When the train is going downhill, or generally to the northwest, it begins a descending arc in a clockwise direction. As it goes over a tunnel, it starts a 0.73-mile loop, tightening its spiral to encircle a hillock. As it completes the loop, 77 feet……
In the historic town of Carrickfergus on the East Antrim coast, there is a massive castle, old town houses, a historic pier—and a strange-looking tower at the end of the pier. This odd construction opposite Carrickfergus Castle is known as a Radar School Tower, and was primarily used to monitor shipping arrivals and departures from the Belfast Lough area. The tower was built in the 1960s, but with improved technology it soon became obsolete, and was completely derelict by……
