In 1922 Trwyn Du became the first Trinity House lighthouse to be automated,[7] when it was converted to unwatched acetylene operation.[8]
The lamp was converted to solar power in 1996 and the lighthouse was modernised extensively at that time.
At present the Lighthouse has a 15,000 candela light that flashes once every 5 seconds and can be seen 12 nmi (22 km) away. Additionally, a 178-kilogram (3½ cwt) fog bell sounds once every thirty seconds.[9] There was also a lifeboat station built in 1832, nearby, but this closed in 1915.
The tower has been unmanned since 1922 and is checked from Holyhead Control Centre. In August 2019 Trinity House started trials of a new fog horn, stating, "The bell is activated by an ageing electronic striker mechanism which no longer provides the assurance of reliability which is needed.
"JOY is the settled assurance that God is in control of All the details of my life. The quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be okay and the determined choice to praise God in all things."

Brooklyn Memorial (World War 1) at Prospect Park.The soldier is wearing puttees around his legs.The image was sculpted by Augustus Lukeman and was dedicated in 1921.It's a quite moving image,I think.By the angel's hand gesture it looks like he's telling the soldier what heaven is like as he carries him there (my opinion).Shot at Prospect Park.
Hebrews 6:7-11
King James Version
7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
-Rachel Carson
He hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
(Acts 17:31)
The family is both the fundamental unit of society as well as the root of culture. It ... is a perpetual source of encouragement, advocacy, assurance, and emotional refueling that empowers a child to venture with confidence into the greater world and to become all that he can be.

Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love...

When the company I worked for introduced Quality Assurance principles in 1988, as part of my role I taught the history and application of Quality Management techniques to my staff. I used to hold up Arnott's Biscuits as a leading example. All Aussies will know and love Arnott's wonderful biscuits.....until not all that long ago they used to deliver their products in sparkling red vans that were never dirty, always shining clean and personally I had never found an Arnott's Biscuit that I didn't like nor that was presented and opened without perfection. Now those to me at the time were some important hallmarks of TQM (Total Quality Management) that I thought were great examples for my students....exceeding customer's expectations, consistent quality of product.
I know many of you will have studied and applied this stuff in your professional and perhaps personal lives in recent times. This mural of an Arnott's advertising sign brought back those memories and I still love their biscuits (many made within a couple of kilometres from us in Brisbane, at times I can still smell their vanilla creams!) - although they are not so good for me health wise these days. Sadly in some ways, Arnotts was sold to Campbell's (soups) of the USA quite a few years ago, amid some controversy about selling off the farm and is now owned by American investment company KKR - see link below.
Today, they have modified their advertising to simply..."There is no substitute".
This is one of a number of old signs at Scotty's Garage.
The former Prudential Assurance building in London. I was lucky to get this as there is usually a guard on duty to keep the hoi poloi like me out, but I guess he must have been on a comfort break as I just walked in and no-one challenged me.

Liverpool
The Royal Liver Building was opened in 1911 as the purpose built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been established in 1850. Located at the world famous Pier Head, it is a Grade I listed building along with its sister buildings, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building, they form the waterfront architectural trio known as The Three Graces.
Standing at 322 ft tall, it was Europe’s tallest storied building from its completion in 1911 until 1932, and the UK’s tallest until 1961. Today it is home to state of the art commercial office spaces, housing light, contemporary, open-plan interiors with the most up to date technology.
On top of the building sit the famous Liver Birds, this one is called Bella and she looks out across the River Mersey to ensure that the ships arrive safely in port.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

In the tapestry of life, there's a timeless wisdom that echoes through the hum of everyday moments. It's a sentiment akin to the reliability of an old pickup truck, weathered by time but steadfast in its purpose. In a world often enamored by the allure of novelty and extravagance, the enduring value lies not in the gleam of newness or the abundance of bells and whistles, but in the assurance of reliability. Like that dependable truck that has weathered storms and traveled miles, there's an inherent beauty in things or individuals that stand the test of time. In the quiet moments of need, it's the steady engine of reliability that carries us through, proving that sometimes, the truest luxury is found in the unwavering constancy of something or someone we can count on.
Once the entrance to Alfred Waterhouse's 1890s Nottingham Prudential Assurance building, now a bar. He was also architect of their offices on Holborn and several others around the country. The date given above the statue of Prudence is the year the firm was founded. Grade II listed.
This shot of the Old State House in Boston brings back memories of the great opening scene in Monty Python's the Meaning of Life'.
The film begins with a stand-alone 17-minute supporting feature entitled The Crimson Permanent Assurance (directed by Gilliam). A group of elderly office clerks in a small accounting firm rebel against their emotionlessly efficient, yuppie corporate masters. They commandeer their building, turn it into a pirate ship, and sail into a large financial district, where they raid and overthrow a large multinational corporation.
In reality, the Old State House completes an incredible 250 year history of American architecture in one shot. Built in 1713, it was the seat of the Massachusetts General Court until 1798, and is the oldest surviving public building in Boston.
The Temperance and General Mutual Life Assurance Society building in Collins Street, Hobart, Tasmania.
Designed by A&K Henderson in the 1930s, there were around 20 near identical buildings constructed by the T&G across Australia and New Zealand.
Apparently six of them are still standing.
This one is a beautiful Art Deco period gem in the heart of the city.

Sometimes when your world seems so big and real
You may run to the shelter of walls
Sometimes you may wish
You could be like your shadow
It fits wherever it falls
Whenever the night's too deep to find
And the morning is too far away
Wherever you are
There's always a star to guide the way
There to guide the way
If you listen long enough
If you dream it strong enough
A door inside will open
And a light will flood the dark
-> (Here's the link to the song Voice of the Heart in Youtube.
None have assurance at all times. As in a walk that is shaded with trees and chequered with light and shadow, some tracks and paths in it are dark and others are sunshine. Such is usually the life of the most assured Christian. (Ezekiel Hopkins)
The Prudential Assurance Building is a large red terracotta Victorian building on the north side (138–142) of Holborn, in central London. It was designed in Gothic Revival style for the Prudential Assurance Society by architects initially Alfred Waterhouse and his son Paul Waterhouse who became a partner in his father's firm from 1891, and built by Holland, Hannen & Cubitts in phases between 1876 and 1901.
"Of all the logical impasses,
unknowings,
paradoxes,
and terrors that provoke laughter,
death,
by its finality
and unsolvable mystery,
is paramount."
~ Andrew Hudgins ~
"We must become bigger than we have been:
more courageous,
greater in spirit,
larger in outlook.
We must become members of a new race,
overcoming petty prejudice,
owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations
but to our fellow men within the human community."

and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
