In local government, a city hall, town hall, civic centre (in the UK or Australia), guildhall, or a municipal building (in the Philippines), is the chief administrative building of a city, town, or other municipality. It usually houses the city or town council, its associated departments, and their employees. It also usually functions as the base of the mayor of a city, town, borough, county or shire, and of the executive arm of the municipality (if one exists distinctly from the council). By convention, until the middle of the 19th century, a single large open chamber (or "hall") formed an integral part of the building housing the council. The hall may be used for council meetings and other significant events. This large chamber, the "town hall" (and its later variant "city hall") has become synonymous with the whole building, and with the administrative body housed in it. The terms "council chambers", "municipal building" or variants may be used locally in pref ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pirituba River
Pirituba is a district in the subprefecture of Pirituba-Jaraguá in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. It is located in the northwestern side of the city. A person who lives in Pirituba is often called ''"piritubano"''. Pirituba's name origin is the juxtaposition of the Tupi language words ''piri'' (Southern cattail, a marshland plant of the Typha genus) and ''tuba'' ("many"). History In the 19th century, the lands where Pirituba now lies were occupied by coffee farms ( Portuguese: ''fazenda''), such as Fazenda Barreto (owned by Luiz Pereira Barreto), Fazenda Anastacio (owned by Anastacio de Freitas Trancoso and later by Rafael Tobias de Aguiar), and Fazenda Jaraguá. In 1885, the São Paulo Railway opened a train station in Pirituba as part of the Estrada de Ferro Santos-Jundiaí line. When the owner of the Fazenda Barreto died in 1922, the land was split between his heirs. In the same year the farm's first share was settled, and in 1926 the second share was settled. Those two ...

Taquari River
The Taquari River ( pt, Rio Taquari) is a river in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil. It is a left tributary of the Paraguay River. The town of Coxim is situated on the Taquari. The Taquari River is considered the most degraded river in the pantanal basin of Mato Grosso do Sul. The headwaters of the river are protected by the Nascentes do Rio Taquari State Park, created in 1999. The Taquari river complex has over recent decades been subject to various course changes and avulsions, partly through faults and crevasses in natural levees. Extensive and complex changes in water pathways have caused large scale redistribution of sediment and flooding of previously cultivated land. These processes, which are ongoing, have forced many farmers to abandon the region and hampered planning of future development over a very large area. In fact, the whole of the Pantanal wetland undergoes large changes in water flow characteristics on a range of timescales and the c ...
