Berthold Romanovich Lubetkin (14 December 1901 – 23 October 1990) was a Georgian born émigré architect who pioneered modernist design in Britain in the 1930s. His work includes the Highpoint housing complex, London Zoo penguin pool, Finsbury Health Centre and Spa Green Estate.
Although certificates exist stating that his birth was in Warsaw in 1903, Lubetkin described these as false documents which he had used to conceal time spent in the Red Army. It is believed he was born in Tbilisi, (now the capital of Georgia), into a Jewish family. His father, Roman (Reuben) Aronovich Lubetkin (1885, St. Petersburg – 1942, Auschwitz), was a civil engineer for the railroad. Lubetkin studied in Moscow and Leningrad where he witnessed the Russian Revolution of 1917 and absorbed elements of Constructivism, both as a participant in street festivals and as a student at VKhUTEMAS.
Lubetkin practised in Paris in the 1920s in partnership with Jean Ginsburg, with whom he designed an apartment building on the Avenue de Versailles (number 25). In Paris he associated with the leading figures of the European Avant Garde including Le Corbusier. He continued to participate in the debates of Constructivism, designing a trade pavilion for the USSR in Bordeaux and participating in the Palace of the Soviets competition, for which his entry was shortlisted.
KPNX, virtual and VHF digital channel 12, is an NBC-affiliated television station in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, that is licensed to Mesa. The station is owned by Tegna, Inc.; KPNX shares offices with formerly co-owned newspaper The Arizona Republic on Van Buren Street in downtown Phoenix, although they have split after KPNX went to TEGNA, and its transmitter is located atop South Mountain on the city's south side. The station's programming is simulcast on satellite station KNAZ-TV, in Flagstaff, and is further relayed through a network of 14 low-power translators across northern and central Arizona.
The station first signed on the air on April 23, 1953, as KTYL-TV; it was originally owned by the Harkins Theatre Group, which also owned KTYL radio (1490 AM, now KIHP on 1310, and 104.7 FM, now KZZP). The station's original studios were located in Mesa, the Phoenix area suburb that serves as the station's city of license. The station has been a full-time NBC affiliate since its sign-on, taking the affiliation from KPHO-TV (channel 5), which carried NBC programming as a secondary affiliation. Channel 12 carried some programming from the DuMont Television Network (an affiliation that was shared with KPHO) until that network's demise in 1956.
WISN-TV, virtual channel 12 (digital channel 34), is an ABC-affiliated television station located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. The station is owned by the Hearst Television subsidiary of the Hearst Corporation (and is one of the group's three flagship stations – alongside WCVB-TV in Boston and WBAL-TV in Baltimore – as well as the second-oldest television station to remain with the company in all of its various iterations). WISN maintains studio facilities located at North 19th Street on the west end of the Marquette University campus, and its transmitter located in Lincoln Park in the northeastern part of Milwaukee (next to the Weigel Broadcasting tower, which is used by CBS affiliate WDJT-TV, channel 58, and its sister stations).
The station first signed on the air on October 27, 1954 as WTVW (for its on-air slogan "Wisconsin's TeleVision Window"). WTVW's transmitter building was built under a tent, as rain had threatened to delay construction. After the building was finished, a second tent was erected, and used for live automobile commercials, until it collapsed one day in early 1955. In early 1955, the station was purchased by the Hearst Corporation, publishers of The Milwaukee Sentinel and owners of WISN radio (1130 AM); the new owners changed channel 12's call letters to WISN-TV, after its radio sister (whose calls were derived from now-defunct newspaper The Wisconsin News, which merged with the Sentinel; the WTVW calls are now used by the CW-affiliated station in Evansville, Indiana). The station originally operated as a primary ABC affiliate with a secondary DuMont affiliation. WISN-TV lost the DuMont affiliation when that network ceased operations in 1956, leaving it exclusively with ABC.

El director de Comunicación de la FAO, Mario Lubetkin, dijo en entrevista con En Perspectiva que se plantea eliminar la sub-alimentación crónica para el 2030. “Se han acumulado muchas experiencias positivas, que dicen que las metas son posibles” –expresó Lubetkin– “72 países sobre los 139 que estamos monitoreando lograron cumplir el Objetivo del Milenio”. Según el informe El estado de la inseguridad alimentaria en el mundo 2015, en 1990 había mil millones de personas que pasaban hambre, cifra que se ha reducido a menos de 800 millones. Para Lubetkin, ya no se trata de reducir el hambre sino de eliminarlo. En la FAO se plantean el objetivo de la Generación hambre cero, dijo el entrevistado. Además, explicó que pobreza y hambre es costo para un país. Por ese motivo, es fundamental que se p...
Lecture date: 1989-04-15 After studying at the AA in the 1930s where he was much influenced by EAA Rowse's commitment to architecture as a social art and by Rowland Pierce's ideas regarding planning, Denys Lasdun worked with Wells Coates before joining Berthold Lubetkin's practice Tecton. Lasdun's own trajectory from the hothouse atmosphere of the evolving modernist movement in England to the post-war era extended the aesthetic and social concerns of modernism through a series of projects that, in London alone, included the Hallfield Estate, Paddington (built with Lindsay Drake); the Keeling House cluster block, Bethnal Green; the Royal College of Physicians, Regents Park; and the National Theatre on the South Bank.

The Tanster grew up mostly in Southampton, NY. She wrote novels, then three plays about Napoleon. This led to a year at the Sorbonne in Paris, a BA from Stony Brook (Magna Cum Laude, 2000) and a Master's in Film Production (2003) from NYIT. After helming a full length motion picture, Griffith Gaunt, she became a Wire Photographer for Getty Images (2005-2008). This brought her to a front row view of how big time media works. Now the @gemeinschaftprojekt (Community Project in German) is a Public Pop Up Art initiative in support of The Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital. http://www.thetanster.com ______________________________________________________ Experienced, award-winning multiplatform (print, audio, video, photo) photojournalist, producer of business au...

The Wellness and Events Center, already nicknamed WEC, is a $102 million building that will be constructed on the site of the Lubetkin Athletic field. WEC will extend across the length of the field, which will later be rebuilt on the north side of the building. The construction of WEC, to begin after the groundbreaking, will be finished in the fall of 2017. "The changes on the NJIT campus are broad and deep," said NJIT President Joel S. Bloom. “And WEC is a game changer.” As the name implies, WEC is a multi-purpose building that will offer something for everyone at NJIT. The 200,000-square-foot building will be in equal parts a fitness center, a study space, a gathering spot and a sports arena that will double as a conference and events center. WEC will offer students a place to relax an...
It's just another day in this Wasteland
We've got to change our game plan
Or else we'll die by the same hand
Just another day in the Wasteland
My realm is ruled properly
Pharaoh (of) the frontier, I overwhelm Pythagoras and Socrates
One spear, force exerted from the ?Dawntien?
An archer practicing the art of Zen
Leaving marks on men even in the season when darkness blends
From black, purple, to crimson
An exact circle matches my dimension
Give my regards to Osiris in your trip to the land of the dead
God sun fire dismisses eclipses, lifts myths from your head
Purge, submerge, reemerge shining nerve endings in the spine
Curve on my staff, similar to vines
Remember the time I entered the mind on impulse
Cause halt
Similar to shock
Take up thoughts
More than intricate plots
Plus lock logic and simplicity
Hot intensity
Mentioned previously
Back issues, my black tissue
Bathes my essence in sinew
Relinquish all belts and championship titles
Proper and broken English recitals
Panic when the black lion wants to fight you
Get aggressive, you'll get beat to your recessive genetics
Not Yacoo, but my word's law when I drop jewels
I prefer waves that ooze at the apex
Spraying kisses, left vacant
From my amazing smooth cadence
You's a fool, I'm just a tool used by the ancients to change this
Just another day in this Wasteland
We've got to change this game plan
Or we'll die by the same hand
Just another day in the Wasteland
It's nothing pleasant
I'm coming clandestine
Marbles boiled in oil until they crack
Packed in bottles, and set (_????_) molotovs
Relax long enough to swallow, I light the cloth and toss
Impossible mission
Unprofitable position
I seem to come to the utmost diabolical decision
The king's drum, I cut throats with large incisions
Killer bees buzz and hum, I unleash a gullible roar in the system
In water, I'm ?broadest?
Amphibious, this man's a swift crocodile
Coptic star child
In the skies, I am a sun
My world is a desert of flames, there is no escape
Baked hotter than pottery courtesy of Antares
Unworthy wishy-washy men repeat weak
Corny stories of ghetto glory
Surely my stiletto be soiled from each that brought me turmoil
Thoughts uncoil
I spring into action
Bringing frankincense and jasmine
Potpourri of poetry
Slowly she goes into spasms
Behold the holiest of all interactions
Uncontrollable passion
She makes my resurrection session such a blessin'
Our connection
Wise is time spent to repent for transgression
What could I say for a queen to look this way
Sometimes I want to cry, but still I travel the countryside
Searching for the perfect flower
Tears running from my eyes, each drop more sour than the last
Staring into the future, devouring my past
It's just another day in this Wasteland
We've got to change the game plan
Or we'll die by the same hand
It's just another day in this Wasteland
Rage gauged in terms of pain
Staring into her eyes, realizing it's in vain
Simple vanity
Mental profanity
Curse this God-forsaken rock
Marked by my dark side, divide vibes
Apartheid streams from Soato, Watts, to blocks oppressed and in bond
Advanced thought, lessons I'm on
Seven storms born in my cauldron of eight
Trigrams, monkeys cooked to purification
Filterization, water treatment
Exercise, training, black rhino mats
Mind blow, illustrious
Somewhat succulent
The divine diaries plugged in through auxiliaries
Begin to pop
Bounce, rock to my talk
Thrill-kill a boredom heartbroken soldier
Start smokin' jokers
Wild cards, odds drop, passes in the cassock
At the _????_ light
I like to check my averages
All sorts of various types of freaky-deak tactics
Mr. Mass is fantastic
Create nouveau classics
Who's Joe with the plastic?
It doesn't matter, this shit's about to last, kid
