The Long-eared Owl is associated with coniferous woodland and tall scrubby habitats during the breeding season, favouring sites where dense nesting cover is located close to open areas that are used for hunting. Although widely distributed across Britain and Ireland, the Long-eared Owl remains a scarce breeding species and one that is easy to overlook. The species appears to be more abundant in Ireland than it is within Britain, perhaps because of reduced competition Tawny Owl, which is absent from Ireland.
This is a medium-sized owl, slightly smaller and slimmer in appearance than a Tawny Owl. The main confusion species is Short-eared Owl and BTO has produced a useful video on how to identify the two species – this is available here.
When perched, or when the Long-eared Owl’s ear tufts are visible, the species can be readily separated from Short-eared Owl. At other times, eye colour is useful: those of Long-eared Owl are yellow-orange, while in Short-eared Owl they are yellow. The general appearance of the upperside of the wing in Short-eared Owl is of sharp contrast between the dark wing tip and the extensive pale panel that sits between this and the darker ‘carpel’ patch. In Long-eared this panel is more richly-coloured and less obvious.

it seems very likely that St Anthony's Chapel was closely associated with Holyrood Abbey, which stood just a few hundred yards away to the north-west. The two were linked by a well-made stone track (now heavily worn) with prominent kerbstones that can in places still be seen, and about three quarters of the way along this track up to the chapel is the spring and carved stone bowl known as St Anthony's Well.
It's tempting to think of St Anthony's Chapel as an outlying chapel for Holyrood Abbey, perhaps constructed as a means of getting pilgrims out from under the feet of the monks in the abbey. It has also been suggested that the chapel served as a sort of religious beacon, designed to be clearly visible to sea-borne pilgrims coming to Holyrood Abbey as they sailed up the River Forth.
As for dating, there are references to a grant paid for repairs to St Anthony's Chapel by the Pope in 1426, suggesting the building could date back into the 1300s or beyond. Details of its demise are equally unclear, but presumably, like Holyrood Abbey itself, St Anthony's Chapel fell into disuse and disrepair after the Reformation in 1560.
Today, all that remains of the chapel are parts of the north wall plus remnants of another building a little to the south-west, which has sometimes been called a hermitage but was probably just a store room. The remaining chapel wall shows signs of vaulting, and it is thought that when complete the building would have comprised a small three-bay chapel, with a three-storey tower at its west end. This odd shape, almost as tall as it was long, supports the idea that the chapel was designed as much to ensure distant visibility as to accommodate worshippers.

Foxes, serving as messengers for Inari (the deity associated with paddy fields and other attributes), are depicted as statues marking the shrines. Narrative paintings and scrolls often feature kitsune (foxes), particularly as white foxes.
At Fushimi Inari Shrine, the kitsune sculptures make up over 25% of all fox statues found at shrines throughout Japan.
In Japanese iconography, foxes hold significant roles, ranging from cunning shape-shifters to guardians of rice and granaries. In mythology, foxes (kitsune) can be either bad (nogitsune) or good (yako or zenko), often distinguished by their colors and facial expressions in paintings.
Regarding sculptures, good foxes are typically placed at the entrances of Inari shrines, serving as guardians. These statues are often adorned with a red cloth, symbolizing the auspicious color of Inari. In contrast, bad fox statues are fewer and usually hidden in thickets or remote locations.
At the Inari shrine, a kitsune holding a key to the rice granary welcomes visitors. Its raised tail and stern expression signify its role as a guardian. The other kitsune in the pair greets visitors with a pleasant expression. Both kitsune at Fushimi Inari have one tail, while some kitsune depicted as spirits or souls in paintings have multiple tails.

Goblins have long been associated with the orcish clans of Europe and Asia due to their often being able to find good customers among the clans. There has only been one goblin nation or kingdom in recorded history, the short lived Forsaleickstan. The nation was formed by goblin squatters covering a large region in eastern Europe that contained several disputed areas that had been a source of contention between local elven noble houses. Rather than waste manpower and possibly lives in an actual war, the goblin King Georgio 'Betta have my money' Greedyfingers, suggested a bidding war over the territories. The winning house would receive a 'legal' deed to the lands won and, perhaps more importantly, the goblins would leave to settle elsewhere. The plot was so ridiculous it actually worked, making Greedyfingers and his followers rich beyond their wildest imaginations and goblins have very wild imaginations, especially when it comes to money.

Black cats have long been associated with bad luck, and superstitions have surrounded them since Medieval times. One may believe that if a black cat crosses their path, they will have bad luck, or that a black cat is actually a witch in disguise. These felines have also been folded into modern Halloween symbols, giving them the unearned reputation of being spooky.

This is the first project that I designed (under Bergman, Walls and Associate Architects) that has been built on the Las Vegas Strip... sad thing is it will become an ABC Store once the Fontainebleau Casino is completed.
Need to retake this photo during the morning hours for my design portfolio... probably be a whole lot better than compared to being in the shade.
"The Associated Bank River Center Corporate Office is a 28-story, 426-foot-tall ( postmodern high-rise building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The building, originally named the Milwaukee Center, was completed in 1988, during a small building boom in Milwaukee that also included 100 East Wisconsin. Until 100 East was completed, the Milwaukee Center was the second tallest building in Milwaukee. The peaked tower, red brick, and the use of green near the top"pay homage to the style of the Milwaukee City Hall. "
The Black-faced Woodswallow often associates with other species of woodswallows as well as White-winged and Varied Trillers, but it is their association with Hooded Parrots in the Northern Territory that is especially intriguing. Hooded Parrots almost always forage in the company of Black-faced Woodswallows. The woodswallows are used by the parrots as sentinels to warn of the approach of potential predators, such as Brown, Grey or Red Goshawks, and whenever the woodswallows give their alarm calls, the parrots fly away to safety.

The moon is not completely grey! There are subtle colour variations associated with certain surface formations. These differences arise from the different composition of the material lying on the surface. The many samples from the Apollo missions that were brought to Earth have provided proof.
The blue colouring of the dark mare and the reddish colour of the craters and highlands are striking. The mare consist of volcanic basalts that have a higher content of certain metals than the regolith of the highlands. The colours are therefore an indication of the metal content on the surface of the moon.
To compensate for the air turbulence, I took over 200 images and then stacked the best ones.

The Brickell World Plaza, also known as 600 Brickell, and formerly known as the Brickell Financial Center, is an office skyscraper in Miami, Florida, United States in the Downtown neighborhood and financial district of Brickell at 600 Brickell Avenue. The former Brickell Financial Centre Phase I, the Brickell World Plaza, is a 520-foot (160 m) skyscraper, one of the tallest buildings in Miami. The building contains 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2) of leasable floor space, an eleven story parking garage with 927 spaces, and a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) ground level public plaza, and was also supposed include an outdoor area with a stage. 600 Brickell is located between the Fifth Street and Eighth Street Metromover stations.
The 40 story building was topped out in early 2009 but construction was suspended or greatly slowed, as the building was still not completed over two years later as of March, 2011. The building lost an anchor tenant, a law firm that had a 58 million dollar, 10.5 year lease for 15 percent of the building (115,000 sq ft), in early 2009.
With the new name of Brickell World Plaza, the building has a scheduled opening date of August 2011. The building developers, the Foram Group, have claimed that this slowed construction was strategic for the purpose of detail and that after completion they will move their corporate offices into the building. However, the near halt in construction and the loss of a major tenant suggests that the delay was not strategic, but due to the 2008 economic crisis and the falling demand for office space due to the excessive construction in Miami at that time.
Early in 2011, 600 Brickell got a $130 million construction mortgage loan from Los Angeles based Canyon Capital Reality Advisors that will fund the rest of the construction. This was one of the largest loans issued in the city of Miami since the real estate crisis.
When 600 Brickell came online in August–September 2011, it increased Miami's downtown office vacancy to nearly 25%, and Class A Brickell vacancy to over 30%.
That could change with the arrival of a new leasing team. Foram has hired Jones Lang LaSalle, led by veteran brokers Glenn Gregory and Noël Steinfeld, to handle leasing for the nearly 615,000-square-foot building. Gregory and Steinfeld said a full-court press to land tenants is finally under way. Shortly before Foram hired Jones Lang, the developer signed a pair of new-to-market tenants — New York-based lender Doral Money and Irvine, California-based mediation and arbitration services firm JAMS — to occupy a combined 30,090 square feet at the building. Gregory and Steinfeld said they are in discussions with prospective tenants for about 300,000 square feet, although that includes some space being marketed to multiple companies.
Gunster (law firm) moved its Miami office to the building's 35th floor.
The building will be South Florida’s first Cisco Connected Commercial Office Building in partnership with Cisco Systems Inc. Essentially it will have its own dedicated hub connecting it to the Internet with a secure and flawless connection. The project was designed by the global architecture firm RTKL and its developer was the Foram Group. The Foram Group’s intended goal was to set a new gold-standard for technology and sustainability in international commercial property development by creating the most innovative and forward thinking office building in Miami.
"We designed the building from the inside out, not the outside in,” said Loretta H. Cockrum, Foram’s founder, chairman and CEO. “We wanted the most efficient office building ever designed, with no wasted space or wasted energy. This is a building of the future more than a building of the present. A lot of love has gone into that building, and a lot of pride.
The Brickell World Plaza is the state of Florida's first building to be pre-certified under the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program.[11] In addition to this it is one of very few buildings in the world of its size to receive the LEED Platinum rating, the highest available from the US Green Building Council. Another feature that contributed to this precertification is the water program: the building collects all rainfall and condensed water from the cooling towers in a 10,000 US gallons (38,000 L) tank to be reused for irrigation and makeup water for the fountains at Brickell World Plaza.
It will also be the first building in South Florida to be a part of Cisco Systems "Cisco Connected Commercial Office Building",[13] which basically means it has a fast and secure, dedicated internet connection. The originally planned Brickell Financial Centre (two buildings) was to include office space, a hotel, luxury condominiums and a public plaza. The Brickell World Center will not feature the hotel or condominiums, but the ground level plaza will be a 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) public space as well as 18,000 square feet (1,700 m2) of ground level restaurants and cafes, as well as an outdoor stage where events may be held, probably taking up the rest of the property where the Brickell Financial Centre II would have gone. The first eleven floors of the building above the plaza are a parking garage, while the remaining 28 floors are all office space.[14] The outside of Brickell World Plaza is lit up at night similar to the Miami Tower. This began before Christmas in December 2011 with a ceremony with governor Rick Scott where a 40 foot wreath was hung on the building.

Excerpt from amgunited.wixsite.com/amgunited/history-of-st-paul-s:
Methodist Beginnings
Early church life in Magog was associated with that in Georgeville where, in 1804, the families of William Bullock, Jeremiahc Lord and Richard Packard "joined hands to organize the first Methodist class meeting". Methodist groups were founded in a number of the surrounding towns but regular services were held only in Georgeville and Magog. The Rev. Edwin Peakes, the Methodist minister in Georgeville, had the Magog parish added to his pastoral charge in 1869. In 1870, services were held in Georgeville and Magog at 11 A.M. and 6:30 P.M., alternating the morning service between the two towns. Accordingly, the relationship between the two parishes has always been close, although the work at Georgeville was well established before the Magog Methodists were organized.
In 1884, the Magog Methodists purchased a parsonage which still stands at 41, St. Patrick Street West.
The First Building
All Christian groups in Magog with the exception of Roman Catholics had been meeting in a Union Church which was built in 1830. Built on Merry Street South, this building appears to have served Anglicans, Methodists and Baptists. In 1886, the Methodists decided to build a new church on Merry Street North. A. I. Wallace of Waterloo was the general contractor and within four months built the new church. Given the size of the church (26 pews, each 12-1/2 feet long), it would appear that the Methodists were relatively numerous in Magog, although probably not well endowed. The "New Church", dedicated on March 19, 1887, appears to have been constantly in debt throughout the remainder of the century. A new reed organ, with pedal board and hand pump was installed in 1894, also purchased on credit.
Early 20th Century
The New Church was wired for electricity in 1901 by parish volunteers. In 1905 the parsonage was sold to the Rev. D. Brill for $1,000 as a retirement home. The John Moore house was purchased as a parsonage, running water was installed in 1910 and the telephone in 1913. Given the need for larger Sunday school facilities and place to house a pipe organ, it was decided to add an extension to the New Church. Casavant Frères built the organ in 1918 for the sum of $2,350. Mrs. A. E. Swoger was church organist from 1918 to 1937, after which time she was replaced by Mrs. J. B. Connor, who was church organist in 1962 at the time of the 75th anniversary celebrations. The Ladies' Aid was already active in the early part of the 20th century, minutes of their meetings dating from 1914. It would appear that parish life in the early 20th century was quite active and no further mention is made of church indebtedness. In fact, it would appear that relative prosperity had replaced relative poverty.
The United Church of Canada
There is no mention in any of the parish records of the integration of the Methodist Church into the United Church. It would appear that the parish entered without question into the new body formed by the merger of Congregational, Presbyterian and Methodist congregations and that little impact was had on parish life. Parish activities continued to blossom. In 1928, the following organizations made reports to the annual meeting: Quarterly Official Board, Sunday School, Women's Missionary Society, Young People's Society, Choir, Ladies' Aid, 1925 Club and Men's Own.
St. Paul's Church
In 1929 the Masonic Order offered the trustees of the United Church $7,500 for their building on Merry Street North, which is now the Café Theâtre. The offer was accepted and a new building was erected on Pine Street at the cost of $27,350, together with an $5,000 worth of furnishings, grading of the land, purchase of a furnace, etc. To finance the project, Quebec-Sherbrooke Presbytery authorized a $17,500 mortgage on the church property. The cornerstone was laid on August 30th, 1930 and the building dedicated on November 23rd, 1930.
The Post-War Period
After the trials of the years of the Second World War, a memorial was estasblished for the 44 sons of the parish who served in World War One, six of whom were killed, and the 87 who served in World War Two, of whom 4 were killed. The memorial chimes were installed on November 14th, 1948. In 1949, the United Church form of government was adopted, creating the first Session. A new manse was built at the corner of Abbott and Macdonald Streets in late 1949.
The Memorial Fund
In 1954 a memorial fund was established to provide more adequate Sunday School rooms and hall facilities. In the summer of 1957, the earth was excavated under the Church Hall, creating a new basement. A hot air heating system was installed for both the new rooms and the Church hall, bringing the building projects originally begun by our Methodist ancestors to completion. In 1962, the parish celebrated its 75th anniversary, publishing the anniversary booklet from which the information presented on this website is drawn.
