    http://knowingpoe.thinkport.org/ Poe’s Baltimore Content Overview This is an outline of the information found on each location on the interactive map. As students explore the map online, you will note the following color coding system: ü Modern Sites are yellow ü Sites Then and Now are green ü Poe-era sites are red In addition, all locations include images. Modern Sites Modern Inner Harbor (Harborplace) NOW: Harborplace is a fairly recent addition to Baltimore’s landscape. Completed in 1980, Harborplace and its close relatives, the Maryland Science Center and the National Aquarium at Baltimore, have attracted millions of visitors to the city each year. If you were wondering why Harborplace appears to be out in the harbor on the 1838 map…it’s because it was! As late as 1950, the Inner Harbor was just that – the innermost dock in Baltimore Harbor for passenger, freight, and government ships. But the docks were old and rotting, so around 1970 the city tore them down. The plans for developing the shopping pavilions at Harborplace called for more space. The city did just that—using concrete and pylons to add almost 100 feet of shoreline where the rotting docks had been. The result was the Inner Harbor area – complete with shops and large pathways – that you can walk around today. THEN: In Poe’s day, the Inner Harbor area was a thriving seaport. Ships were being built in nearby Fells Point. A new, lively form of transportation— called a “steamer” (a steam-powered boat)—was becoming a more and more common sight.

  • Production Notes
    A Film by John Madden Production Notes Synopsis Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers… Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

    1 The Best of Japan Long ago, Japanese ranked the three best of almost every natural wonder and attraction in their country: the three best gardens, the three best scenic spots, the three best waterfalls, even the three best bridges. But choosing the “best” of anything is inherently subjective, and decades—even centuries—have passed since some of the original “three best” were so designated. Still, lists can be useful for establishing priorities. To help you get the most out of your stay, I’ve compiled this list of what I consider the best Japan has to offer based on years of traveling through the country. From the weird to the wonderful, the profound to the profane, the obvious to the obscure, these recom- mendations should fire your imagination and launch you toward discoveries of your own. 1 THE BEST TRAVEL EXPERIENCES • Making a Pilgrimage to a Temple or then soaking in near-scalding waters.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.

    Cubed Circle Newsletter 192 – Jay Lethal's Big Win, PWG From Out of Nowhere & More! In this week's newsletter we return to discuss not only this week's WWE television programming, RAW and NXT, but also a Ring of Honor pay-per-view from a few weeks ago, a PWG show from the beginning of the year, and Mid-South TV from 1981! – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor Playing Catch-up – Part I: PWG 'From Out of Nowhere' and ROH 'Best in the World' As some readers may know, the first semester holidays began but a couple of weeks ago, meaning that I have approximately two more weeks to catch up on all of the pro-wres I missed both before and during exams. What I hope to do over the following two weeks is publish opinions in each week's newsletter covering, briefly and in general, what I watched that week in terms of newer material. Originally, this was a project meant to get underway last week, but the Tsuruta/Misawa piece that I had a lot of fun writing got in the way of that. This week we will be taking a look at Ring of Honor's 'Best in the World' internet-pay-per-view, as well as PWG's 'From Out of Nowhere'. Ring of Honor: Best in the World June 19th 2015, Terminal 5, New York, New York Ryan Clingman Terms such as "biggest match in the history of [insert company name]" are popular on two platforms, the first being the forever-home of hyperbole, the internet and its forums, and the other WWE's television, which continuously pushes the latest forgettable match as supposedly the "biggest" or "most important" in company history.

  • Adachi Museum of Art's Gardens Named
    NEWS RELEASE FEBRUARY 7, 2018 Adachi Museum of Art’s Gardens Named “Number One” for 15th Consecutive Year Adachi’s Gardens top the 2017 “Shiosai Project: Garden Rankings of Japan” List The gardens of the Adachi Museum of Art have been named “number one” in the 2017 “Shiosai Project: Garden Rankings of Japan”, which is organized by The Journal of Japanese Gardening (JOJG), an American special-interest magazine. 2017’s results mark the 15th consecutive year in which the Adachi museum’s gardens have achieved the top spot in this top-fifty ranking, which is conducted by about thirty gardening experts from all over the world and targets over nine hundred locations in Japan. Results are decided based not on the historical significance, fame or scale of the gardens but on aspects such as their quality, balance with adjacent buildings and hospitality towards guests. The Adachi museum also received high praise from the October 2017 edition of the Michelin Green Guide Japon, a prominent French travel guide, which awarded the museum itself a grade of two out of three stars (worth the visit if you are traveling in the region) and the museum’s gardens its highest ranking of three stars (worth the trip on their own). As always, the entire staff of the Adachi Museum of Art remains devoted towards creating an experience for its guests that is fully worthy of this high praise, no matter the time of year. We humbly and gratefully invite you to assist us in spreading the word about our gardens to any interested parties with whom you are affiliated.
