Lido

A lido (/ˈliːdoʊ/ LEE-doh) is a public outdoor swimming pool and surrounding facilities, or part of a beach where people can swim, lie in the sun, or participate in water sports. On a cruise ship or ocean liner, the deck with outdoor pools and surrounding facilities are often designated the lido deck.

Lido is an Italian word for "beach" and forms part of the place name of several Italian seaside towns known for their beach, e.g., Lido di Venezia, the barrier beach enclosing the Venetian Lagoon. Possibly, the term found its way into English from English visitors returning from the Lido di Venezia, where sea-bathing took place from the late 19th century.

Lido (Ueckermünde)

The Strandhalle is a listed building in Ueckermünde which is used as a restaurant.

History

The beach pool was built in 1926 by swim club Ueckermünde. In 1938, a terrace was added. In DDR times it was a HO-run self-service restaurant, and in 1990 it was acquired by the Treuhand. In 1994 it was transferred back to the city Ueckermünde and leased to the Radeberger brewery. The beach facility was operated until 2000 as a restaurant and had to be closed because of water damage and general structural defects. In 2004, it was sold to a private investor.

The Strandhalle was renovated and has now a total floor space of about 1001 m², split into a restaurant, a terrace, a large and a smaller hall.

News style

News style, journalistic style or news writing style is the prose style used for news reporting in media such as newspapers, radio and television.

News style encompasses not only vocabulary and sentence structure, but also the way in which stories present the information in terms of relative importance, tone, and intended audience. The tense used for news style articles is past tense.

News writing attempts to answer all the basic questions about any particular event—who, what, when, where and why (the Five Ws) and also often how—at the opening of the article. This form of structure is sometimes called the "inverted pyramid", to refer to the decreasing importance of information in subsequent paragraphs.

News stories also contain at least one of the following important characteristics relative to the intended audience: proximity, prominence, timeliness, human interest, oddity, or consequence.

The related term journalese is sometimes used, usually pejoratively, to refer to news-style writing. Another is headlinese.
