Upper Harbour Bridge
The Upper Harbour Bridge (also called the Greenhithe Bridge) is a motorway bridge in west Auckland, New Zealand. It is technically two bridges, spanning an upper reach of the Waitematā Harbour, and connecting Hobsonville (in Waitakere City) and Greenhithe (in North Shore City). It is an important connection for State Highway 18, and became even more important as a component of the Western Ring Route when the route was completed on 2 July 2017.
# History.
The original bridge was built in the 1970s. Its capacity proved insufficient for later traffic demands of more than 27,000 vehicles per day (soon to be up to 35,000 vehicles per day with the completion of the motorway | 6,124,611 |
7542645 | Upper Harbour Bridge | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Upper%20Harbour%20Bridge | Upper Harbour Bridge
works) and a duplicate bridge was constructed next to it. The new bridge was designed and engineered by Beca, and built between 2005–2006 by Fletcher Construction using self-compacting concrete. The new bridge cost NZ$35 million and provides a 524 m long, 16.5m wide, 10-span crossing. This was designed to match the existing 457 m long existing 7-span cantilever bridge aesthetically.
The bridges provide three lanes toward Greenhithe (an uphill gradient) and two lanes downhill. Prior to the first stage of the Upper Harbour Motorway opening, Transit NZ closed off the old bridge to make repairs, especially to reduce a sagging effect due to old tensioning cables.
With the opening of the motorway | 6,124,612 |
7542645 | Upper Harbour Bridge | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Upper%20Harbour%20Bridge | Upper Harbour Bridge
gradient) and two lanes downhill. Prior to the first stage of the Upper Harbour Motorway opening, Transit NZ closed off the old bridge to make repairs, especially to reduce a sagging effect due to old tensioning cables.
With the opening of the motorway on 6 December 2007 all bridge lanes were open. The new bridge also provides a cycle-way and walkway on the north side.
The bridge project, together with the causeway widening, has received a Silver Award from the Association of Consulting Engineers New Zealand.
The original bridge was in 1986 used by A. J. Hackett for the first jumps testing the equipment for what was to eventually become the world's first commercial bungee jumping company. | 6,124,613 |

Javier Flaño
Javier 'Javi' Flaño Bezunartea (born 19 August 1984) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for UD Logroñés as a defender. Mainly a right back, he can also play in the centre.
He represented Spain up to under-23 level, and spent most of his career with Osasuna.
# Club career.
A product of hometown CA Osasuna's youth system, Flaño was born in Pamplona, and he made his debut with the first team in a La Liga 2–1 home win against Villarreal CF on 28 August 2005, going on to finish his first season with 31 games played. Aged only 17, he began playing regularly with the B-team in the third division.
The following campaign, Flaño remained an important fixture with the Navarrese, | 6,124,617 |
7542640 | Javier Flaño | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Javier%20Flaño | Javier Flaño
scoring his first goal on 10 December 2006 in a 3–0 home win over RCD Mallorca and adding another seven appearances in the club's semi-final run in the UEFA Cup (plus both legs in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round against Hamburger SV).
From 2007 onwards, twin brother Miguel became an undisputed starter while Javier only managed rare first-team appearances. Released in June 2009, he joined CD Numancia on a free transfer for two years, as the Soria side had just been relegated from the top flight; he appeared in 40 second level matches in his second season – 39 starts – in a final comfortable midtable position.
On 22 July 2014, following one-year spells in the second tier with | 6,124,618 |
7542640 | Javier Flaño | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Javier%20Flaño | Javier Flaño
Elche CF and CD Mirandés, Flaño returned to his first club, where his brother was still playing. On 7 June of the following year, in the last round of the campaign and with the team needing one point to avoid a second consecutive relegation, he scored a last-minute header for a 2–2 draw at CE Sabadell FC.
In 2015–16, Flaño started in 37 of his 38 league appearances to help Osasuna return to the top division after a two-year absence. In the early stages of the following season, both siblings suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament on their left knee, being sidelined for several months.
Having played only ten games in his last two seasons combined, Flaño left for third-tier | 6,124,619 |

7542660 | Sandra Schnur | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandra%20Schnur | Sandra Schnur
Sandra Schnur
Sandra Schnur (30 July 1935 – 2 February 1994) was a pioneer American disability rights leader, working mainly in New York City.
# Early life.
Schnur was born into a Jewish family on 30 July 1935. Schnur contracted polio in 1950 at age 15. The disease rendered her a quadriplegic. She had a long period of rehabilitation, including much time spent in an iron lung. After a period in residence at Warm Springs, she was home schooled to complete her high school education.
In 1952 Schnur was evaluated by the New York Vocational Education program, and was advised to become a basket weaver. Schnur requested instead to be allowed to attend college. The program advisor did not like her | 6,124,621 |
7542660 | Sandra Schnur | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandra%20Schnur | Sandra Schnur
refusal to accept his recommendation, and marked her as "uncooperative".
# Career as activist for disabled persons.
In 1963 a wheelchair-access guide to the city that Schnur wrote was published by the Easter Seals Society. She was employed in the Mayor's Office for the Handicapped, under Eunice Fiorito.
In 1965 the state agreed to allow Schnur to attend college. She attended Hunter College, earning a Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in Counseling.
Schnur became Director of the New York City Half-fare Program for the Handicapped. As one of the few disabled administrators in the Department of Transportation at this critical time, she played an important role in providing wheelchair-accessible | 6,124,622 |
7542660 | Sandra Schnur | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandra%20Schnur | Sandra Schnur
buses and vans to nonprofit organizations, as well as the introduction of pedestrian ramps/curb cuts and lift-equipped city buses.
In the late 1970s, New York City officials decided that they no longer wished to provide direct personal assistance services for seniors and persons with disabilities, but would oversee contracts with private nonprofit vendors. By this time Schnur had written several position papers with the assistance of Marilyn Saviola on what she called "self-direction," — severely disabled persons with disabilities had the capacity to manage their own personal assistance services, as opposed to the "medical model" where the agency is the employer and the consumer is not in charge | 6,124,623 |
7542660 | Sandra Schnur | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandra%20Schnur | Sandra Schnur
of his or her own household. She brought together a group of individuals, which included Marilyn Saviola, Muriel Zgardowski, Vincent Zgardowski, Ira Holland, Ed Litcher, Daniel Ginsburg and Gertrude Schleier, to demand consumer-directed personal assistance services.
This group protested (with attached ventilators) outside a Board of Estimate hearing. When Schnur was about to be honored as an "outstanding" city employee by Mayor Beame in a ceremony at Gracie Mansion, home care administrators, hearing of her plan to denounce the pending vendorizing of home care services, told her that it was unnecessary because she had won her point.
Schnur believed that consumers should have even greater independence. | 6,124,624 |
7542660 | Sandra Schnur | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandra%20Schnur | Sandra Schnur
She formulated a paper calling for a voucher program, a precursor to the Consumer-Directed Cash and Counseling project that was eventually adopted in several states, which she presented to the administration of Governor Mario Cuomo. In Schnur's voucher program, severely disabled individuals would receive one check, which the consumer could use as he or she wished to manage their home care needs, including personal care services, without restrictions. Although the program was adopted by the Governor and passed by the State Legislature, no startup funding was provided.
In 1980, following a series of meetings with consumers and Department of Social Services administrators, this group agreed to | 6,124,625 |
7542660 | Sandra Schnur | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandra%20Schnur | Sandra Schnur
create the Client Maintained Plan, the pioneer Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program, and have it administered by Concepts of Independence, Inc.
Concepts of Independence, was a consumer organization that was founded in 1977 by Victoria Holland, Ira Holland and Ed Litcher, and formulated to be a Fiscal-Intermediary; to receive Medicaid funds and to pay salaries, taxes and benefits to personal care workers based upon information provided by the consumer. Subsequent to the death of Victoria Holland in 1979 and the adoption of the new Consumer Board of Directors in 1980, Schnur became the President of Concepts of Independence. Schnur served in this capacity from 1980 until her death from | 6,124,626 |
7542660 | Sandra Schnur | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandra%20Schnur | Sandra Schnur
Directors in 1980, Schnur became the President of Concepts of Independence. Schnur served in this capacity from 1980 until her death from melanoma in 1994.
During this period, Schnur was a founder of Women with Disabilities United, received appointments to the Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women and as the only consumer on the Governor's Home Care Council.
# Legacy.
Schnur married Marvin Wasserman in 1983.
Concepts of Independence awards an annual plaque in memory of Schnur, the "Sandra Schnur Emerging Leadership Award".
Schnur's husband also began hosting an annual memorial Seder after her death, to which large groups are invited.

# History.
The Toyota Coaster was introduced in 1969 as a 17-passenger minibus using the same running gear as the Toyota Dyna of the time. Early models used the 2.0-liter Toyota R engine with 4-speed manual transmission. With , an RU19 Coaster could reach a top speed of . Subsequent models used a variety of four and six-cylinder diesel and petrol engines, and an option of automatic transmission was later introduced. A smaller alternative was later introduced at "Toyopet Store" locations, based on the Toyota ToyoAce | 6,124,629 |
7542655 | Toyota Coaster | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toyota%20Coaster | Toyota Coaster
called the Toyota HiAce which had the ability to carry up to 10 passengers but complied with Japanese Government regulations concerning exterior dimensions and engine displacement that the Coaster didn't.
In August 1997, Toyota "Coaster Hybrid EV" minibus was launched, ahead of the Prius. The Coaster Hybrid, according to Toyota, became its first production hybrid vehicle. Production of the Coaster Hybrid continued until 2007.
The LPG Coaster, fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, was developed specifically for the Hong Kong market and its air pollution problems. This kind of minibus is very common in Hong Kong.
The Coaster is common not only in Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, and Australia, but | 6,124,630 |
7542655 | Toyota Coaster | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toyota%20Coaster | Toyota Coaster
also in the developing world for minibus operators in Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean. It is widely used in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, Panama, and Peru as public transportation. It is the almost the only used mini bus in public transportation in Jordan and the brand is used to refer to that segment by people and even by the government. These buses are imported mainly from Asia and had to have the steering wheel moved to the left and the passenger door to the other side.
The chassis of the Toyota Coaster was also used on the Salvador Caetano Optimo and sold in Western Europe.

Pierre Issa
Pierre Sanharib Issa (born 11 September 1975) is a former South African footballer of Lebanese descent. He is the current sporting director of the Greek side Olympiacos F.C..
# Football career.
Born in Germiston, South Africa, Issa began playing for French semi-professional side Dunkerque. He started his professional career with Marseille in 1995 and went on to play in the 1999 UEFA Cup Final. He moved to Chelsea on loan in January 2001, although he did not play a competitive game for the London club. He is best known in England for his spell with Watford in 2001–02. Signed by new manager Gianluca Vialli from Marseille, Issa scored once, against Portsmouth. Issa was memorably dropped | 6,124,645 |
3527461 | Pierre Issa | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pierre%20Issa | Pierre Issa
by his stretcher bearers after an injury in a home game against Birmingham City, and was put on the club's transfer list on 14 February 2002, only five months after he had signed for the club. He never played for Watford again, but played for his country at 2002 FIFA World Cup whilst still contracted to Watford.
After leaving Watford, Issa signed for Olympic Beirut and won both Lebanese Premier League and Lebanese FA Cup in his first season with the club, but was released in the 2004–05 season as the club's ownership was changed due to financial considerations. He signed for Ionikos of Greece and later for OFI Crete, also in Greece, where he stayed until 2009.

# International career.
Issa played 47 times for South Africa since making his debut on 15 November 1997 against Germany, having also captained his country. In the 1998 FIFA World Cup, he scored two own goals against France (however the second of these goals was later on acknowledged as scored by Thierry Henry, but the country still reels from those goals). Issa was also selected for the 2002 FIFA World Cup squad.

Quinizarine Green SS
Quinizarine Green SS, also called Solvent Green 3 is an anthraquinone derivative. It is a black powder that is soluble in polar organic solvents, but insoluble in water. It is used as a dye for adding greenish coloring to cosmetics and medications. It is used in some colored smoke formulations.
According to X-ray crystallography, the anthroquinone portion of the molecule is planar. Both amine protons form hydrogen bonds to the carbonyls.
This dye is a component in some smoke grenades, and questions have been raised about its toxicity. | 6,124,648 |
3527472 | Cable Bay | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cable%20Bay | Cable Bay
Cable Bay
Rotokura / Cable Bay is a bay and small settlement north-east of Nelson in New Zealand. The settlement at the head of the bay is at the southern end of a thin strip of land or causeway connecting Pepin Island with the South Island.
The bay itself is a wide, northwest-facing bay in the Tasman Bay. It lies just north of the Horoirangi Marine Reserve, between the Pepin Island and the mainland. It provides a natural boulder barrier from the sea for the Wakapuaka estuary.
# History.
There is evidence that Māori used the area around Cable Bay from about 1150 for fishing and camping. There was also a pā on Pepin Island near the end of the causeway linking the island to the mainland. Both | 6,124,649 |
3527472 | Cable Bay | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cable%20Bay | Cable Bay
the pā and the bay itself were known as Rotokura.
European settlers named the bay Schroders Mistake following an incident in April 1843. A cutter owned by Schroder, a Nelson merchant, was taking a survey party led by John Barnicoat to Marlborough, but it became stranded on the sand bar. The general locality is known as Wakapuaka.
The name Cable Bay arose from New Zealand's first overseas cable link, to Australia, which was opened on 21 February 1876. The international telegraph cable established a connection with the worldwide telegraph network via Sydney. The cable came ashore into a timber building, continuing through a cedar-topped cable, a stone-cemented passage and underground to the | 6,124,650 |
3527472 | Cable Bay | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cable%20Bay | Cable Bay
cable house. From the cable station, messages were sent to Nelson via telegraph wire. This new service meant communications to Europe only took four days instead of up to six months for letters. With a population of about 30, the cable station was a self-contained village.
The company's offices and sleeping quarters burned down in 1914. The cable station remained in operation until 1917, when the cable was shifted to Titahi Bay near Wellington due to the increasing economic importance of the North Island. The place name changed to Cable Bay in 1926.
In March 2001, Telecom installed a 200 km long submarine cable system between Cable Bay and Hokio Beach near Levin. The cable has 24 fibre-optic | 6,124,651 |
3527472 | Cable Bay | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cable%20Bay | Cable Bay
strands with no intermediate repeaters and provides a communications cable between the South Island and the North Island that is physically diverse from the existing Cook Strait communications cables. The terminal stations are located at Nelson and Levin.
In August 2014 the name of the bay officially became Rotokura / Cable Bay, following the Treaty of Waitangi settlement between the Crown and Ngāti Tama ki Te Tau Ihu.
# Recreation.
The sheltered beach at Cable Bay has sandy patches but is mostly a shingle beach. The thin land connection to Pepin Island forming the crest of the beach is the result of a rare combination of strong currents and a rock source. The area is part of the Cable Bay | 6,124,652 |
3527472 | Cable Bay | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cable%20Bay | Cable Bay
Recreation Reserve, managed by the New Zealand Department of Conservation. It offers ample parking, toilets, and picnic tables, but no rubbish facilities. Overnight staying is not permitted on the reserve.
The adjacent marine reserve offers recreational opportunities such as kayaking and snorkelling. There are also sea kayak trip ranging from half-day to day-trips around Pepin Island departing at Cable Bay.
The three-hour Cable Bay Walkway leads over farmland south to Glenduan, offering coastal views of the Boulder Bank. The track is a tramping track and crosses private farmland. It is closed during lambing season in spring, and no dogs are allowed.

St. Johns, Ontario
St. Johns (also called St. Johns West, Short Hills, and Steel's Mills) is an unincorporated rural community in Thorold, Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada.
A rural hamlet today, St. Johns prospered as a commercial and industrial centre during the 19th century.
# History.
Benjamin Canby built a sawmill on nearby Twelve Mile Creek in 1792. The creek was noted for its consistent flow, even during dry summers. Several more mills were soon built in St. Johns, and the settlement flourished as the most important industrial centre on the Niagara Peninsula.
Another early settler, John Darling, built a log cabin in 1799, which was used as a home until 1803. In 1804, the cabin was converted | 6,124,655 |
3527476 | St. Johns, Ontario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=St.%20Johns,%20Ontario | St. Johns, Ontario
to a public school. Known as St. Johns Common School, it was the first non-denominational free school in Upper Canada, and remained in use until 1844, when a new school was built nearby. The cabin continues to be used for educational purposes, and is the oldest extant public school in Ontario.
St. Johns prospered during the 1830s, when it had churches, a tannery, woolen factory, fulling mill, flour mill, potashery, iron foundry, brickyard, hat factory, and several grist and sawmills. A post office was established in 1831.
In December 1837, following the failed Toronto Rebellion, rebel leader William Lyon Mackenzie escaped to the United States with the help of Samuel Chandler, a wagon maker | 6,124,656 |
3527476 | St. Johns, Ontario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=St.%20Johns,%20Ontario | St. Johns, Ontario
from St. Johns. The following June, a group of rebels, including Chandler, travelled from Grand Island, New York, to St. Johns, where they participated in the Short Hills raid, attacking 10 Queen's Lancers stationed at John Osterhout's Tavern near St. Johns. The raid was successful, though most of the attackers were later captured and put on trial. Chandler was convicted of treason and sent to Van Diemen's Land. A monument to Chandler is located in St. Johns.
# Decline.
The opening of the nearby Welland Canal in 1829 led to rapid development of industry in St. Catharines, Thorold, and Welland, and encouraged people and commercial enterprises to re-locate from St. Johns to those settlements. | 6,124,657 |
3527476 | St. Johns, Ontario | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=St.%20Johns,%20Ontario | St. Johns, Ontario
The canal also drew water from headwaters of Twelve Mile Creek, thus reducing its flow through St. Johns. By 1850, the industries in St. Johns were in decline, and its population was reduced from 250 to 150 between 1851 and 1857. When the Great Western Railway and Welland Railway were completed through the region between 1853 and 1859, St. Johns was bypassed. By 1900, St. Johns contained only a blacksmith shop, a cooper shop, a post office, a church, two stores, and a school. The post office was later closed in 1914.
In 1992, on the 200th anniversary of the settling of St. Johns, a granite marker was placed at the settlement.

In 1958, the Union School in St. Johns closed and was converted to the St. Johns Outdoor Studies Centre (now called St. Johns Centre). The centre is operated by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, and serves 10,000 students per year. Outdoor programs are conducted at nearby St. Johns Conservation Area and Short Hills Provincial Park, and some classes are taught in the historic St. Johns Common School. | 6,124,659 |

It's the Rage is a 1999 film version of Keith Reddin's play "All The Rage" about three interconnected stories and how handguns affect each of the nine people involved. The film is the directorial debut of producer James D. Stern.
# Plot.
Handguns figure in the intertwining lives of nine people. Warren (Jeff Daniels) shoots his wife Helen's (Joan Allen) lover and his defense is that he thought he was shooting an intruder. She leaves him; and her lawyer (Andre Braugher) helps her get a job with a nutty, reclusive computer wizard (Gary Sinise) who waves a pistol about, sometimes at Helen.

17-year-old Mike, a comic book fan who collects strange gadgets (many of which he obtained by sending in coupons from cereal boxes), is staying for the summer with his 13-year-old cousin Penny, whose parents are getting fed up with his antics and ready to send him back home. After attending a magic show where people gain strange powers, Penny and Mike sneak onto the stage and Mike uses the magician's magic chair to cast a | 6,124,666 |

spell on Penny. To their surprise, it works, and Penny gains superhero powers such as strength, flight, and the ability to pass through solid objects. Penny becomes, in Mike's words, "the world's most amazing 13-year-old". She also becomes eight feet tall.
Penny's new powers lead to adventures and misadventures, and generally interfere with her normal life. Penny also resents the loss of control that comes from the powers being activated and deactivated exclusively by Mike, the spellcaster. However, Penny successfully captures a gang of crooks who were attempting a series of major thefts.
Although Penny ultimately uses her powers successfully (after some embarrassing errors), she still wishes | 6,124,667 |

attempting a series of major thefts.
Although Penny ultimately uses her powers successfully (after some embarrassing errors), she still wishes to be normal again, but she finds out that the magic chair used to enchant her has been accidentally destroyed, so there is no way to undo the charm. Just when she despairs of ever having a normal life again, she reaches her 14th birthday; suddenly, her powers are gone, as the spell granted powers to a "13-year-old".
# Reception.
"Kirkus Reviews" stated "If there's anything duller than a comic book, that's all text, it's a poor parody of a comic book without pictures." and concluded "it's just plain tedious and trite, and no challenge to Superman." | 6,124,668 |

Ensoniq Signal Processor
The Ensoniq ESP was used in many of the company's musical instruments and on their Soundscape Elite PC ISA sound card. It was used to enhance the synthesizer's audio samples with digital effects, enhancing the realism of the overall sound.
The ESP chip was a custom digital signal processor (DSP) chip with over 75,000 transistors. It had an instruction set that was optimized for manipulating audio data, which has typical sample rates of between 10 kHz and 50 kHz. The ESP was capable of creating a wide range of digital effects including reverb, delay, echo, flanging, chorusing, harmonizing, equalization, and distortion, and was capable of generating multiple effects simultaneously.

Temples of Taichung
Like many of Taiwan's older cities, Taichung (founded in 1705) has a large number of old temples and shrines that have historical value and are typical of the eras in which they were built. They include family and public Taoist and Buddhist temples, a Confucian temple, and even a Japanese Shinto Shrine.
# Confucian temples.
## Confucius Temple.
Unlike other cities, Taichung lacked a Confucian Temple until very recently. In order to address this deficiency, the municipal government made the decision to construct a temple. With help from the Taiwan Provencial Government as well as local private individuals, construction of the Taichung Confucian Temple began in earnest in | 6,124,675 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
1974 with the laying of the capstone.
Today the temple is usually a pretty quiet place where people can contemplate, study, and relax. It also serves as a cultural center in the sense that people can take a handful of culture related classes (i.e. calligraphy). However, the place becomes the center of attention on the morning of September 28 every year, as Taiwanese celebrate Confucius' birthday (officially known as Teachers' Day in Taiwan) with performances at the temple.
The main entrance opens into a fairly large open space with trees, a pond, and a walkway lined with hedges that leads to the Great Perfection Gate. The gate itself leads to a larger courtyard inside. Along the perimeter | 6,124,676 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
of the courtyard are a series of rooms that are used as offices, classrooms, a library, and a study room where students can be found studying.
In the center of that courtyard is the Great Perfection Hall. The construction employs Song Dynasty designs with patterns also deriving from the Song Dynasties. It includes a shrine to Confucius, though modestly lacks an image of the great sage.
In the rear of the main courtyard is The Sage's Shrine, also known as the Hall of the Sagely Founder. It includes tablets that honor members of Confucius’ family.
The temple is found along Shangshi Road near the Taichung First Senior High School and the National Physical Education University.

Lin Family Ancestral Temple.
The Lin Family Ancestral Shrine was first built in what is now Dali City (just south of Taichung City) during the Jiaqing era of the Qing dynasty (1796–1821). It is considered the most important shrine to people with the surname Lin in central Taiwan. It has moved location several times, arriving at its current location in East District, Taichung City in 1930. Currently located just off of Guoguang Road, even though it is just off a main artery of the city, if you are not looking for it, you would never know it was there. You have to find a narrow lane that is largely lain with bricks. It is directly opposite rather non-descript housing and is surrounded by multi-level | 6,124,678 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
apartment buildings. It is one of several temples in Taichung City that have been designated a Category 3 Historical Site by the national government of Taiwan.
The shrine includes stone wall sculptures, wood carvings, and paintings that typify Fujianese design of the mid-Qing dynasty. The outer courtyard has a small brick structure used for burning paper ghost money along with traditional stone guards to protect the sanctity of the temple.
The front entrance has stone carvings on both sides and painting on the doors. The inner courtyard is also made from brick, and one can see the inner shrine from this courtyard. It also includes the traditional drum and bell and has numerous wood carvings | 6,124,679 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
and paintings.
The inner shrine is a beautiful example of traditional piety of leading families of that era in Taiwan's history.
## Chang-Liao Family Shrine.
Commonly known as the Chang-Liao Public Hall, it was erected by the Cheng-Liao clan that originally came from Zhangzhou, Fujian, China. It was built from 1908 to 1911 during the early years of the Japanese occupation. Wings and outlying rooms were added in subsequent years, with all work completed by 1916.
There is a hall with right and left wings, a main worship hall and various enclosed spaces. The woodwork is finely crafted and painted in traditional Qing dynasty styles. What makes this temple special is a lion's throne on the roof | 6,124,680 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
beams that are designed to ward off evil influences as well as to stabilize the main beams.
Unfortunately, the temple fell into disrepair with age. The Taichung municipal government launched a renovation project that commenced in 1988 and was completed in 1994.
## Chang (Zhang) Family Shrine.
The Chang family ancestral Shrine is located in the area formerly known as Hsiachi Changli (today's XieHe li in the XiTun district). This temple was built by descendants of the Matang Chang family of Shibi village, Ninghua country, Dingzhou prefecture, Fujian province.
The Chang (Zhang) family ancestral shrine is built in the traditional Fujianese architectural style. The famous Zhangzhou master carpenter | 6,124,681 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
Chen Ying-shan personally supervised construction of the wood frame portion. The shrine seeks to perfectly blend architectural aesthetics and structural mechanics, and is a very representative structure of its type. Decoration includes carvings, paintings, calligraphy, cutouts, and clay sculpture; the woodcarvings are particularly notable. The wooden frames of the gateway and central hall contain most of the carvings, which feature such techniques as bas-relief, round relief, and openwork.
The red brick walls of the front hall feature Eight Diagram three-sill bamboo node windows. The outer frames of the windows are decorated with brick carvings. The carving technique and the scenes carved are | 6,124,682 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
clearly different on the two sides of the temple.
The straight-sill wooden windows in the brick wall of the main hall are simpler in form than those of the front hall. The large wooden beams making up the internal structure mostly use Yigshan wood. Only the right and left galleries and the areas under the front eaves of the two halls are built with carved and painted beams.
The roof is entirely in the Yingshan style, and the roofs of the two halls and the courtyard doorways in the inner and outer wings have up curved "swallowtails." Because roof tiles had begun falling off this shrine, the Taichung city government acted to protect the city's priceless cultural heritage by starting renovation | 6,124,683 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung

# Buddhist temples.
## Bao Jue Buddhist Temple.
The Bao Jue Buddhist temple is unusual in that it is the only one in the city that also has a Shinto Shrine on its grounds (see below.) It is most famous for the presence of a giant smiling Buddha that can easily be seen from the street despite the presence of a wall separating the grounds from the street. The main temple itself is undergoing renovation. | 6,124,684 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
There are also two other buildings on the grounds that are used for various community-oriented activities.
## Tzu-shan Buddhist Temple.
The Tzu-shan Buddhist Temple was constructed shortly after the end of the Japanese occupation in the 1950s. It is a temple/monastery with a small number of resident Buddhist monks and nuns. The entrance to the complex has an elephant on either side.
Once inside, there is a courtyard with the main temple on the right side with lions guarding the entrance to the temple. Inside the temple is a gold Buddha statue sitting in the lotus position. There are also hundreds of smaller figurines lining the walls of the shrine.
The back area of the courtyard has a small | 6,124,685 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
pavilion with greenery behind it. Within that greenery is another courtyard where you may see monks and/or nuns meditating, studying, or simply relaxing. Within that courtyard, there is another opening to a green area with a statue of the Guanyin Bodhisattva. The monastery area behind the second courtyard has residences for the monks and nuns in residence.
The temple is in an out of the way area in Beitun District on a small road near Changping Road.
# Taoist temples.
## Wen Chang Temple.
Wen Chang Temple is located in what is today Beitun District in northern Taichung City. The location of the temple is the heart of what was once known as An Li village, populated by the Pazea Pingpu Aboriginal | 6,124,686 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
tribe. Chinese exploration of this area dates back to the late years of the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1723–1735).
By the end of the eighteenth century, Minnan (Hokkien) settlers created wenwei (learning groups) communities. After some time, in 1863, they decided to construct this temple to cultivate local learning talents.
After entering a modest gate on the modern roadside of Changping Road, one finds oneself in a courtyard looking at a broader gate. The gate has several wooden carvings on either side of the entrances that lead into another courtyard. From that second courtyard, one can see the main shrine to Wenchang Tichun.
A two-year renovation project led by a team from Tunghai University | 6,124,687 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
restored the temple from 1996 to 1998, but the 1999 Jiji earthquake caused several cracks to appear in the structure. Repairs took place from 2002 to 2004.
## Yuanbao Temple.
The Yuanbao Temple itself is relatively small. Just outside the temple, an old tree stands beside the main gate. The gate itself has an intricate design on the top. Inside the small courtyard is a wrought iron ghost money furnace. The entrance to the temple itself has more traditional multicolored wood carvings.
Behind the temple itself is a multi-storied building that belongs to the temple and is called the Dadao Public Temple. However, there is no aesthetic architectural or artistic quality to the building.
## Nantian | 6,124,688 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
Temple.
The Nantian Temple is one of the most distinguishable temples in Taichung due the presence of a large red representation of the spirit Guangong that figures prominently above the temple and can be seen from at least a kilometer away.
While this temple is currently located on Ziyou Road near the Hanxi River and Lecheng Temple, it was originally built on Dacheng Street in North District in 1949 and it received the moniker Nantian Temple in 1950, with construction being completed in 1952. The spirit on the roof was constructed in 1984.
The interior of the temple not only includes a Taoist shrine dedicated to Guangong, but one of the side rooms also has a shrine dedicated to Confucius.

Mazu temples.
## Leh Cherng Temple.
The Leh Cherng or Lecheng Temple, also known as the Heihsi Matsu Temple, the temporary temple that was initially authorized by the Meichou Matsu temple in Fujian Province, China was constructed early in the Qianlong era (1735–1796) of the Qing dynasty. However, it was not long before the original structure was inadequate to accommodate the large number of worshippers. Thus, another temple was built on the current site near Hanxi Village, in what is now the East District of Taichung City in 1791. Restoration work was performed on the temple in 1928 and 1963. Thus, now only will you see examples of Qing dynasty architecture, you will also see more modern forms | 6,124,690 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
as a result of the restoration and additions that took place during the Japanese colonial era as well as the Chinese KMT era. This two-storey structure is among the largest and most ornate temples in Taichung. To the left of the main temple structure is an incense burner where ghost money can be burned for the deceased, which was built in 1828. The interior of the temple includes numerous shrines to various “spirits” with intricate, complex designs. The complex roofs are constructed in a traditional Chinese style and include numerous wood carvings, including dragons, lions, as well as sculptures of people. Opposite the main temple is also a gallery where there are small vendors today. In the | 6,124,691 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
courtyard in front of the temple is a pair of green stone lions, indicating the antiquity of the temple. Lecheng Temple has been declared a category three historical site by Taiwan’s national government. It is very busy during national holidays and as well as the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month. It is located on Hanxi Street near the Han River in eastern Taichung.
## Wanhe Temple.
The Wanhe Temple is situated in the heart historic Nantun Village, currently within the boundaries of Nantun District in Taichung. It was completed in 1726, forty-two years after the Qing Dynasty conquered most of western Taiwan. Like many of the oldest temples in Taiwan, it is in thanks to the spirit | 6,124,692 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung
Mazu.
The main entrance to the temple is flanked on either side by two smaller entrances. Wood carvings of various designs adorn the traditional roof structures over the entrances to the temple. The interior has a number of shrines dedicated to Mazu that were constructed over the course of the next century and a half.
This is a very busy temple on holidays as people go to pray and dedicate themselves to Mazu and their ancestors. It is located in the heart of one of the major traditional population centers of modern Taichung.
# Shinto shrine.
## Japanese Shrine at the Bao Jue Buddhist Temple.
Within the grounds of the Bao Jue Buddhist Temple is a small, modest Japanese Shinto Shrine dedicated | 6,124,693 |
7542662 | Temples of Taichung | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temples%20of%20Taichung | Temples of Taichung

# Other traditional structures.
## Chishan Gate.
The Chishan Gate is newer than many of the temples previously mentioned on this page, having only been built in 1924. It was built upon the recommendation of a geomancer as a gate to a residence built by Lai Chang-jung, which was built in 1897, during the early days of the Japanese occupation.

On January 24, 1999, he became well known after scoring a goal in the last minute in the 2-1 S.S.C. Venezia victory against Bari. Many Venezia players did not celebrate the goal or the victory, raising suspicions that the match was fixed to end in a draw. Tuta told the press that he had suspected a deal to end the match in a draw. However, on January 27, he denied his previous affirmation, justifying it as a misinterpretation by the press due to his limited capacity of speaking the Italian language. | 6,124,697 |
