Part of Denis Nealon's diary and account book.
Sponsored by BDO, Douglas Maine, a Hofstra alumnus and Senior Advisor at Brown Brothers Harriman (former Chief Financial Officer at IBM) spoke to Zarb Dean’s Business Scholar accounting majors at a special dinner at Morton’s Steakhouse. He discussed with them the journey of his career, in addition to what he valued most in regards to his Hofstra education. Students had the opportunity to speak one-on-one with Mr. Maine and received valuable advice from this industry expert. Mr. Maine has been a long-time supporter of the school, assisting in curriculum developments and frequently speaks to accounting classes during the semester.
Today was my first day of my Accounting 1 class. I haven't gone to school in years...but I'm excited. Got lots of homework though.

I went to the Pharoah: King of Egypt exhibition at Gas Hall (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery).
The ticket to enter cost £5.00 for one Adult.
The objects came from the British Musuem.
Pharaoh: King of Egypt is a national touring exhibition from the British Museum which explores the lives of the ancient kings of Egypt.
Over 130 British Museum objects, which have never been seen out of London before, feature in this exhibition – from monumental sculptures to intimate items of gold jewellery.
Displayed alongside a selection of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery’s own Egyptian collection, this exhibition is incredibly diverse, spanning over 3,000 years of history.
The exhibition will give visitors of all ages the chance to explore the myths and realities of kingship in ancient Egypt.
Find out more about the exhibition on the British Museum website.
I wanted to try of using ISO 800 indoors. Seemed to be ok (didn't have any processing).

The gospel account was the "eucatastrophe," as Tolkien and Lewis came to call it, the happiest of all tragedies, because it satisfies the human heart’s deepest yearnings, including the desire for an epic mythology. But this myth had the added advantage of being historical fact, interpreted through a literary text and poetic tradition.
This insight unfolded for both Tolkien and Lewis an entire literary philosophy of mythopoeics (mythmaking), inspiring them to create new mythologies for our time. They would spend the rest of their lives arguing privately about how such an understanding of myth, religion, and literature could be applied to the art of writing.
For these two frustrated poets earning a living as Oxford dons, there was one obvious consequence of their theory of mythopoeics: They had to start writing popular fiction. If God used narrative to communicate his revelation to man, and man is called to bear God’s image on earth, then one of the most noble vocations is to create new "secondary worlds" in narrative.

The tract of 1737 continues the account of Edmund Arrowsmith's martyrdom in these terms:
“On Thursday, the twenty eighth of August, Word was brought to the happy Man, that he must die within four Hours. He received the News with perfect Resignation; and raising his Heart to GOD, he said with great Fervor and Devotion, 'I beseech my Redeemer to make me worthy of it'. The Judge, to disappoint the People of so edifying a Spectacle, as the heroick Combat of a valiant Champion, had proposed to have him executed early in the Morning; but the unreadiness of Things necessary for the Execution crossing his Design, he pitched upon Dinner-time, in Hopes that would keep most People at Home. But either the Curiosity of indifferent Persons, or the Hope of Protestants to see him shrink, or the Confidence Catholicks had of his known Virtue and Constancy, unpeopled LANCASTER, who crowded from thence, and other Parts, to the Place of Execution, with vast Numbers of all Ages, Sexes and Religions, who waited the last Scene of this Tragedy.
As he was carried through the Castle-Yard a venerable and worthy Priest, his Fellow Prisoner condemned for his Function, but enjoying the Benefit of a Reprieve, shew'd himself to F ARROWSMITH from a large Window: F ARROWSMITH, as soon as a he perceived him, to beg Absolution, lifted up his Hands (the Sign they mutually had agreed) that dismissed by a Vicar of JESUS CHRIST, with Comfort from on high, he might endure in the Day of Battle, and triumph in the Conflict. The holy Confessor absolved him in the Sight of the People, and dispatched him, with the Sign of the Redemption, to Conquest, and a Crown of Glory.*
A Catholick Gentleman, on this Occasion, revived, if not exceeded, the Example of the Great CONSTANTINE, who, when he had given Peace to the Church, embraced the maimed Confessors, and kissed the Marks of the Wounds, they had received in the late Persecution.** This Gentleman, charmed with the Courage, and Intrepidity of the generous Martyr, marching out to Victory with these Marks of Ignominy and Confusion, discovered, by a clear sighted Faith, under these humbling Circumstances, the true Signs of a Disciple of the Cross, of a Soldier, and Apostle of JESUS CHRIST: He clasped the holy Man in his Arms, and kissed him tenderly, till the High-Sheriff ordered him to be separated by Force.
The Gentleman having in this Manner taken Leave of F ARROWSMITH at the Castle Gate, the holy Confessor was laid, and bound upon the Hurdle, with his Head towards the Horse's Tail, for
greater Ignominy. Thence he was dragged through the Streets to the Gallows above a quarter of a Mile from the Castle, not to be approached by his Friends, who were kept off by the Sheriff's Men, and their Halbards;*** but to his greater Torment, some Protestant Clergymen were allowed to molest him. The Executioner preceded immediately the Horse and Hurdle, with a Club in his Hand by way of barbarous Triumph; while the holy Man, bound upon the Hurdle, held two Papers, in which were written down, under the Title of TWO KEYS TO HEAVEN, 'an Act of the Love of GOD', and 'an Act of Contrition', to move and excite Fervor and Devotion...”.
*The “venerable and worthy Priest” was John Southworth (c.1592-1654), another Douai alumnus imprisoned at Lancaster a year earlier. In 1630 he was released into the custody of the French Ambassador with a view to his being taken overseas. Re-arrested in London in 1654 he was hanged at Tyburn.
**This somewhat obscure reference is, I believe, to the account by 5th century historian Socrates Scholasticus of the Emperor Constantine's actions at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. A bishop, Paphnutius, had suffered terribly during the persecutions inflicted by Constantine's predecessor, Maximinus Daia. Socrates says in his “Historia Ecclesiastica” that “The emperor honoured this man exceedingly, and often sent for him to the palace, and kissed the part where the eye had been torn out...”.
***The halberd is essentially a spear with an axe-head and grappling hook attached to the shaft just before the point, still carried for ceremonial purposes by the Pontifical Swiss Guard.

After reading Simon's account of Eye and there being three Suffolks. I realise there are different Suffolks (and Norfolks) for me too. Although I lived in the area for the first 25 years of my life, and again for another half dozen upon leaving the RAF, I never really explored the area where I lived.
I know the main roads well, and the towns on or near them, as on signposts if little else. I may notice the occasional interesting building, like the school at Somerleyton, or the barn at Herringfleet, and even see there was a church or two (Herringfleet again or Haddiscoe). But my knowledge only went as far as I could see; so along the A146, the A143, the A12, the A149 and a handful of B roads and other unclassified roads I may have travelled down, and years later be able to point out every twist and turn, but for the towns and villages, I knew little.
Even large town like Beccles and Bungay I would go to, visit friends or call in at a shop, but in Bungay fail to notice that there are three churches side by side in the centre, or that Beccles church had a separate tower.
Thanks to the group her on Flickr, GWUK, I became aware that Norfolk and Suffolk were homes to a variety and number of churches that I was unaware of, and in parishes I knew I could not place on a map.
So it is, when I go up to visit Mum in Lowestoft, I try to call in at least one new church, just to see what it was like and learn about the history of the area, and in this I am endebited to Simon K for his wonderful East Anglian Churches website and his delightful prose regarding his visits, and in which is smuggles in the points of interest that can be seen.
I am learning myself, slowly, and can now see things that are rare or uncommon, but not really be able to write well or with authority about them.
St Mary here, became the first church I visited anywhere, where there was already a church snapper in attendance. I have been to churches where, because it is a cathedral or in a town or city centre centre, there might be other people walking around and snapping. But in a small rural church, seeing another snapper with a tripod, this was a first.
And he was deaf. As I wandered around calling out if I was in his shots, I was ignored. Meaning I thought him rude, he could just not hear me.
He took his time, and I rushed around, in fact I had little time as I had to be n Gorleston at just gone two, and so with one eye on the time I rushed round getting shots, waiting for my fellow snapper, and so missing loads of detail.
Before this day I had not heard of Horham, and maybe would struggle to find it on a map if I looked.
------------------------------------------
The first time I ever approached this village, it was across the fields from poor, battered Denham; typical agricultural high Suffolk, wide spaces with the hedgerows gone, fields of barley and rape. Just short of Horham, I crossed a long concrete expanse which stretched away from the road at an angle. This was, I realised, the former runway of the large WWII American airbase, all that remains of one of the biggest. It was the home of 95th Bomb Group; from here, the cities of Germany were bombed, and St Mary is one of several Suffolk churches that have become shrines to the memory of the former American presence here. Apart from that, you'd never know today.
I remember Horham with affection, because when I started exploring the county's churches in the 1990s, this was one of the first places I visited. North Suffolk seemed fairly exotic and foreign to me then, and I did not even know that Horham is pronounced, for an obvious reason, Horrum, rather than to rhyme with quorum. Having since found myself in just about all the backwaters and byways of East Anglia, it was a pleasure to come back and find that this is still a pretty and remote place, just as I had thought it then.
On the first entry for this church, I suggested that anyone interested in exploring the graveyard should beware of Horham's famous beehives, which stand among the graves. On this day in early June the graveyard was a riot of waist high wildflowers, and at first I couldn't spot them. I wandered out to the south-east corner. The weatherbeaten hives were still there, crumbling quietly. I didn't see any bees, and the only local honey sold at the shop across the road came from far off Cockfield.
Despite being some way off the pulse of medieval industrial Suffolk, this is a typically fine tower of the period, immediately on the eve of the protestant Reformation. The Jernegans were patrons, which may explain the extent to which no expense was spared. Simon Cotton has uncovered a large number of bequests: a 1489 bequest to "new" tower "when begun"; a 1496 bequest to the tower; in 1499, 10s bequeathed to the making of the new steeple; further bequests to the tower in 1503, 1504, 1510 and 1512. There was a bell bequest in 1514, which may link up with the earliest of the current bells, of which more in a moment.
A blocked Norman north doorway reveals the true age of the nave walls. The chancel is all Victorian, but the rest reveals evidence of 14th century rebuilding. The white rendering of the nave gives it an air of being a cottage with a tower and chancel built on. Rather lovely, in fact. Most curiously, it has been heightened without the introduction of a clerestory. Because of this, my eyes took some time on this sunny day to adjust to the interior. It is small, and rather charming; thoroughly Victorianised, but with a strong sense of continuity, of the Horhamers of the past.
The porch is placed towards the middle of the south wall, and you step into the middle of the nave to face the font set in a floor of pamment stones. No two village church interiors are identical, of course, but Horham is rather more idiosyncratic than most. There was a lot of money spent here in the 1630s - was this a particularly Laudian parish, one wonders? From this date, or more precisely November 29th 1631, came the screen, for this is inscribed on it. It has been reset, and behind it is a contemporary pulpit, not as elaborate as some Stuart pulpits, but in this small church it is quietly beautiful. A19th century replacement screen sits to the east.
A great curiosity is the tray which slides out underneath the seat of the 4th bench from the front on the south side. The guide says it is for candles; Mortlock thought that perhaps it was for the churchwardens' clay pipe. Although candles seem an unlikely option given their prohibition at the time for liturgical uses, we must remember that tapers were used for lighting (hence the prickholes in the bench ends) and were therefore a necessity.
However, it seems unlikely that the churchwarden would need to keep them under his seat (and if he did, why do no other churches have this tray?) and so perhaps Mortlock is right. There is a small hole in it, as if for cleaning, perhaps of ashes.
Horham is famous with bellringers, because it has the oldest ring of eight bells in the whole world. An 18th century graffito on the chancel arch reminds the ringers what is due to the Sexton for keeping them in order. A wooden roundel on the north wall depicts the Annunciation, and St Dunstan, the patron Saint of bellfounders. It remembers the American donations which paid for the restoration of the bells.
Another American touch is the straw eagle set in a glass case, two flags in its mouth, which is simple and moving. The 95th Bomb Group memorial is across the road from the church, in the shape of a plane tail. It stands on a pedestal marked with the runway layout, like that at Knettishall. I stood by it in the quiet sunshine, thinking about the terrible accident on the airfield here during the war, when two planes collided on the ground, resulting in more than thirty deaths. And I remembered reading about the armaments being transported here on the now-vanished Middy, the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway, which had a station here.

On Thursday night at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio CA., undefeated featherweight Joseph “Jo Jo” Diaz (12-0, 8 KOs) beat the spirit out of veteran Roberto Castaneda (21-7, 15 KOs) over four rounds to easily earn a TKO victory. The South El Monte fighter dominated the action from the opening bell and fired off combinations that eventually broke down Castaneda. At the end of the fourth round, following limited activity by Castaneda, referee Raul Caiz Sr. asked the Mexicali fighter about the condition of his right hand. Then brought in the ringside physician who informed Castaneda’s corner -without much examination- that Castaneda had broken his hand and either they stop it or he would. Castaneda, who was never really in the fight was not allowed to answer the bell for the fifth round.
“El Camaron” Julian Ramirez (12-0, 7 KOs) earned a TKO victory over Pedro Melo (9-6-2, KOs) after four complete rounds. Ramirez dominated the action and eventually broke down Melo over the four rounds. A clash of heads opened up a cut over Melo’s left eye, leaving him unable to answer the call for the fifth round. Melo’s corner seemed to make the decision to not let their fighter continue.
“The Golden Kid” Diego De La Hoya (8-0, 6 KOs) scored a fifth round KO over Ali Gonzalez (6-4, 1 KO) in a bout scheduled for six. De La Hoya scored a flash knockdown in the second and finished it in the fifth. A right uppercut stunned the Mexican southpaw and sent him stumbling to the ropes, De La Hoya pursued and finished him off with a flurry of shots. Referee Raul Caiz Sr. stepped in at 1:40 and called a halt to the beating.
Seven-foot Chinese heavyweight Taishan (2-0, 2 KOs) stopped Tommy Washington Jr. (3-6, 2 KOs) in the first round of a scheduled four. A overhand right to the back of the head sent Washington down for the count. Referee Jack Reiss would reach the count of ten with Washington down on his knees. Official time was 2:35.
Lightweight Jesus Delgado (3-0, 1 KO) scored a dominate unanimous decision over Rick Quevedo (1-2) after four rounds. Scores were 40-36 all around.
I used to love Flickr, the people on here and all the groups etc.
but things have changed. The system no longer suits me and the
new ownership definitely doesn’t appeal to me.
So this is my farewell image. I’ll be closing my account in the
next few days. I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye.
To all the people I met on here (and in real life), I want to say
thank you for all the likes and the fun we had. Thanks for the
inspiration and support. Keep doing what you do and keep enjoying it.

Maintaining fiscal discipline and controlling spending helped government balance the budget and post a modest surplus of $353 million last fiscal despite lower than forecast revenues, Minister of Finance Michael de Jong announced today with the release of the 2013-14 Public Accounts.
Government revenues were $511 million lower than forecast in Budget Update 2013, primarily due to a drop in taxation revenues and lower-than-anticipated earnings for self-supported Crown corporations. Even with the decline in revenues, government increased spending on health by $360 million and education by $299 million compared to 2012-13.
