  • 4 enter the lists

    вступить в борьбу, бросить или принять вызов [первонач. участвовать в рыцарском турнире]

    The very last man on this earth whom I would enter the lists to combat with gentle compliments and masked faces, is Mr. Chester, I do assure you. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Barnaby Rudge’, ch. XII) — Уверяю вас, что я ни за что на свете не вступлю в единоборство с мистером Честером по части изящных комплиментов, произносимых с опущенным забралом.

    In 1870 he entered the lists, with prestige already lowered by a decade of failure... (G. M. Trevelyan, ‘British History in the Nineteenth Century, 1782 - 1901’, ch. XXIII) — В 1870 году Наполеон III начал войну с Пруссией. Престиж его к этому времени был уже подорван десятилетием неудач...

    His face lost a little of its buoyant expression; he was not sure whether his leg was being pulled and it was important for him, having entered the lists under the eye of his lady, to come off best. (J. Wain, ‘Hurry On Down’ ch. III) — Лицо Хатчинса несколько омрачилось он не был уверен, нет ли тут подвоха и, кроме того, вступив в литературный турнир пред очами своей дамы, он боялся ударить лицом в грязь.

  • 6 Poelzig, Hans

    [br]
    b. 1869 Berlin, Germany
    d. June 1936 Berlin, Germany
    [br]
    German teacher and practising architect, the most notable individualistic exponent of the German Expressionist movement in the modern school.
    [br]
    In the last decade of the nineteenth century and in the first of the twentieth, Poelzig did not, like most of his colleagues in Germany and Austria, follow the Jugendstil theme or the eclectic or fundamentalist lines: he set a path to individualism. In 1898 he began a teaching career at the Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland) Academy of Arts and Crafts, remaining there until 1916. He early introduced workshop practice into the curriculum, presaging Gropius's Bauhaus ideas by many years; the school's workshop produced much of the artisan needs for a number of his buildings. From Breslau Poelzig moved to Dresden, where he was appointed City Architect. It was there that he launched his Expressionist line: which was particularly evident in the town hall and concert hall in the city. The structure for which Poelzig is best known and with which his name will always be associated is the Großes Schauspielhaus in Berlin; he had returned to his native city after the First World War and this great theatre was his first commission there. Using modern materials, he created a fabulous interior to seat 5,000 spectators. It was in the form of a vast amphitheatre with projecting stage and with the curving area roofed by a cavernous, stalactited dome, the Arabic-style stalactites of which were utilized by Poelzig for acoustic purposes. In the 1920s Poelzig went on to design cinemas, a field for which Expressionism was especially suited; these included the Capitol Cinema in Berlin and the Deli in Breslau. For his later industrial commissions—for example, the administrative building for the chemical firm I.G.Far ben in Frankfurt—he had perforce to design in more traditional modern manner.
    Poelzig died in 1936, which spared him, unlike many of his contemporaries, the choice of emigrating or working for National Socialism.

    As if investors didn't have enough to worry about, a brokerage house has invented a new measure to show that the corporate profit recovery could take longer than the market and some analysts think. A key economic measure in the last decades of the 20th century was the "misery index," which combined inflation and unemployment to show how badly consumers were hurting. But the key gauge for the first decade of the new century could be something called the " corporate misery index."
