British Railways-built Ivatt Class 2MT No. 46521 powers away from Riddings on the Midland Railway whilst engaged on photographic charter organised by Martin Creese's '30742 Charters' on 3rd March 2014.. The locomotive is normally based at the Great Central Railway, but paid a short visit to the MR in the Spring. Riddings as at the extreme eastern end of the heritage line, where the connection to the Erewash Valley line is situated, and which affords the MR with it's extremely valuable main line connection. Note the bracket signal post, minus semaphores, which once guarded the junction. Copyright John Whitehouse-all rights reserved
This is a bifolium from a Glossed copy of the Pauline Epistles that was very probably made in France, but could possibly have be made in Germany, c.1180.
The main text starting on page 1 is from Corinthians I, chapter 12 beginning in verse 26 through to chapter 13 and ending in verse 11 on page 2. On page 3, the main text starts at Corinthians I, chapter 16 in verse 18. It continues through to the end of that Epistle and is followed by Corinthians II, chapter 1, verse 1, ending in verse 10 on page 4.
Chapter 13 of Corinthians I begins nine lines from the bottom of the Biblical text with the famous words “If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal” .
The main text is generally to the inside of the page with the commentary (Great Gloss by Peter Lombard) to the outside of the page. However, there is Gloss under the main text on page 1 and above and below the main text on page 3. Also in page 3, the opening of the new Epistle is surrounded by the Gloss.
There is a third element to the text that is infrequently, if ever, found elsewhere. At the end of the first Epistle, there are four lines of rubrics which look to be a single entity. But they are not. They are three separate rubrics that make it very clear what the texts actually are. The first translates to “Here ends the Great Gloss of Master Peter and the First Epistle to the Corinthians of the Blessed Paul”. The second, which is immediately above the biblical text, translates to “Here begins the Second Epistle to the Corinthians of the Blessed Paul”. The third, which is immediately above the beginning of the new Gloss translates to “Here begins the Great Gloss of Master Peter to the Second Epistle to the Corinthians of the Blessed Paul”.
The size of the complete leaf is 440mm x 335mm. The maximum size of the bifolium is 440mm x 590mm.
The leaf is ruled in plummet and the Gloss is written above the top line.
There are prickings in both the inside and outside margins and at the outside margins the ruled lines extend approx. 25mm beyond the text where there is a vertical line used to assist the placing of the “authorities”.
It is very difficult to see if the ruled lines continue across the full width of the page. If they do, the texts must have been written in a somewhat haphazard way. On the most complete page (page 4) there are 68 lines of Gloss and 47 lines of Bible text.
The “authorities” down the sides of the columns are interesting. Most are Ambrose, there are three of Augustine two of which give their origin (see page 2 near the bottom) and there is one that is “Oppositio”.
In the top margin of page 4, in red, is the heading “ad corinthios scd'a”.
PAGE LAYOUT: -
Certain Books of the Bible had "gloss" attached to them from about the second quarter of the twelfth century. Over time pages were set out in several different ways to accommodate the gloss. The page layout here is from about the time that the main text being in a narrow column with the Gloss along side of it changed to the method of writing the main text against the left hand edge of the column with the gloss surrounding it on three sides. Whilst the layout of this bifolium does not conform exactly to any of the figures in “Glossed Books of the Bible and the Origins of the Paris Book Trade” (C.R.F. de Hamel, 1984) it does probably indicate that it was produced about at the time that the chang was taking place, i.e. c.1180.
OVERALL CONDITION: -
It has to be said that this bifolium is somewhat of a wreck!. There are many folds and creases, page 2 is particularly dirty making most of the text unreadable and large parts of pages 1 and 2 are missing from the top (particularly) and bottom of the leaf. When used as a cover of a book page 2 must have been the front because of the later additions added to it. There are several holes down the centre of the bifolium where it must have been attached to the book that it covered. Pages 3 and 4 have parts of the outside edge missing and as mentioned above, most of the colour is missing from the illuminated initials.
GENERAL COMMENTS: -
Not withstanding its condition, this is an interesting bifolium because it dates from the time that great changes were taking place in the layout of Glossed Books of the Bible and it has illumination of the highest order. It is a chance survival from what must have been a spectacular manuscript. I am very lucky to have found it.
PETER LOMBARD: -
Peter Lombard (ca. 1095-1160), also known as the "Master of the Sentences" or "the Lombard", was ascholastic theologian and bishop of the 12th century. Lombard was born in Lumellogno, near Novara, Italy, to a poor family. He must have begun his education in Italy, most likely at the cathedral schools of Novara and Lucca. The patronage of Otto, bishop of Lucca, and of St. Bernard allowed him to leave Italy and further his studies at Reims and Paris. In Paris, he came into contact with Peter Abelard and Hugh of St. Victor, who were among the leading theologians of the time. Around 1145, Peter became a "magister," or professor, at the cathedral school of Notre Dame in Paris. In 1159, he was named bishop of Paris.
Peter Lombard wrote commentaries on the Psalms and the Pauline epistles; however, his most famous work by far was Libri Quatuor Sententiarum, or the Four Books of Sentences, which became the standard textbook of theology at the medieval universities.

United Kingdom takes command of NATO Task Group
Pictured: Commodore James Morley RN, Commander Standing NATO Maritime Group 2.
On the 30th of June the UK took command of the Standing NATO Maritime Task Group 2 (SNMG2) at a ceremony at Souda Bay Naval Station on the Greek Island of Crete.
Rear Admiral Axel Deertz (German Navy) has been in command of the Task Group for six months and has handed command to Commodore James Morley (Royal Navy). During the ceremony HMS Duncan also took over the role of Task Group flagship from FGS Brandenberg.
The Task Group is made up of ships from a number of different NATO nations and has three main roles. Firstly to remain at a very high state of readiness should a reaction be needed to a military or humanitarian crisis. It can never be predicted what events or emerging threats may arise but the Task Group would be the first on call and ready to respond. To do this the Task Group conducts a series of exercises that are designed to ensure that the group has a good understanding of it’s capabilities. The Task Group is then able to operate as a combined, effective NATO force.

Changing between Line 1 and Line 2 on the Kiev Metro. The interchange stations on each line of Soviet-built metros are given their own names - Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Майдан Незалежності) and Khreshchatyk (Хрещатик) in this case - with a complicated network of passageways linking both the ends and middle of each platform with the station on the other line.

Vietnam scored a last gasp second-leg equaliser for a 1-1 draw with Thailand to clinch the Southeast Asian championship for the first time on Sunday.
With the match tied 2-2 on aggregate and seconds away from extra time, the dangerous Le Cong Vinh leapt high above the Thai defence to head home Nguyen Minh Phuong's free kick and spark ecstatic scenes across Vietnam.
Tens of thousands of people poured onto the gridlocked streets of HoChiMinh, waving flags, sounding horns and beating together pots and pans in wild celebration of the country's first international title.
"I'm so happy and we have a huge, huge party now," Vietnam's Portuguese coach Henrique Calisto told Reuters while mobbed by raucous fans.
"I'm not surprised, we gave everything we had. We fought hard and deserved this win."
Thailand, upset 2-1 in the first leg, had most of the chances and went ahead after 21 minutes when Teerasil Dangda beat goalkeeper Duong Hong Son to head Sutee Suksomkit's free kick into the net.
Defender Suree Sukha had his header well saved close to halftime and Hong Son was again called into action on 59 minutes when he pushed away Teerathep Winothai's low drive from outside the area.
Thailand paid dearly for their misfiring after conceding a disputed free kick deep into stoppage time when Vinh collapsed at the feet of Suree with no apparent contact.
Vinh buried Thailand's hopes of a fourth title when he flicked the ball into the top corner to stun the visitors and trigger mass revelry at a sellout My Dinh Stadium.
Thailand's English coach Peter Reid felt luck was not on his side.
"We were the best team but that's how it goes in football," Reid told Reuters.
"The players were brilliant in this tournament, I'm delighted with them. A bad refereeing decision in the last leg has cost us the title, but that's life, I can't complain."

RD8100. The end of the line - for the moment. Baldwin 2’ gauge Pacific No.2 of 1930 is running round its train on the Brecon Mountain Railway.
This is only a temporary terminus with just a run round loop; passengers cannot alight here. The line continues further though, and the track has been laid to a new terminus at Torpantau. It is hoped that this will be opened in 2014 when the rebuild of another Baldwin, a 2-6-2, should be completed.

I'm not sure how many places give you this guaranteed but may the 4's be with you. It's all the 4's, 4444. And there's a 4 on the route number as well. Shame about the £7 on the side, or even the £2 on front.
Did you know there are 17 4's on this photo? Count them all if you don't believe me.

The ‘Firstbus’ fleet in Somerset falls into two distinct categories.
In one of those categories are the members of the fleet that carry the full green or branded liveries and the other are those that don’t.
This blog deals with the first category and the second category will be covered in future blogs.
