Strike Shuts Down The Eiffel Tower - Paris

Strike Shuts Down The Eiffel Tower - Paris

The Eiffel Tower is closed to visitors on Monday, as workers plan a one-day strike to demand that Paris City Hall officials immediately review the financial management of the 135-year-old monument, claiming maintenance costs are being underestimated ahead of the summer Olympic Games. Monday's protest will mark the second time in a month that workers have shut down the 1,083-foot tall wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars, Paris' most popular tourist attraction. Labor union officials claim that Paris City Hall, which owns 99 % of the Eiffel Tower operator, SETE, is relying on an “unsustainable” business model that overestimates ticket sales to the monument and underestimates the cost of maintenance and repairs.

The Nio Gate of Kiyomizu Temple. There are stone lanterns on both the north and the south sides of the stone stairway in front of the gate. The west gate and the three-story pagoda are visible on the far right. Built during the Muromachi Era (1392-1573), the Nio Gate had three rooms and one door with a hiwadabuki (bark-covered) roof.

Decorative object with lattice-like patterns found in Honduras

Decorative object with lattice-like patterns found in Honduras

MEXICO CITY, Mexico - Photo shows one of two decorative objects made of pale green jade found by a Japanese researcher and other archaeologists in Honduras. The cigar-shaped objects were discovered in a tomb believed to be that of a king who ruled sometime from the fifth to ninth centuries in Copan at the Copan Ruins in western Honduras in mid-September. One of the objects, measuring 20 centimeters in length, has lattice-like patterns engraved on its surface -- a symbol of a man of political power.
