Dover Castle reveals another striking difference in tower design – geometry. Originally, castle towers were predominately square. Unfortunately, this configuration leaves the castle vulnerable to areas that archers can’t cover. In the 12th century, medieval engineers begin to design circular and semicircular towers to solve this problem. Because it was built over several decades, Dover boasts square and circular towers – the former being attributed to construction under Henry II, the latter to work that’s believed to have been carried out several years later under his son John. Additionally, the castle has several polygonal towers, including the Avranches Tower, which was specifically designed to maximize the garrison’s firepower.
Battle Castle is an action documentary series starring Dan Snow that is now airing on History Television and is scheduled to premiere on Discovery Knowledge in the UK in Spring 2012 and on various BBC-affiliated channels in the near future.

Castles conjure thoughts of romantic tales, but make no mistake, they are built for war.
Dover: Prince Louis' key to England. Malaga: the Granadans final stronghold. And Crac des Chevaliers: Crown Jewel of Crusader castles. Through dynamic location footage and immersive visual effects, Battle Castle reveals a bloody history of this epic medieval arms race.
As siege weapons and technology become more ruthless, the men who design and built these castles reply ... or perish. Follow host Dan Snow as he explores the military engineering behind these medieval megastructures and the legendary battles that became testaments to their might.
Each episode will climax in the ultimate test of the castle's military engineering -- a siege that will change the course of history. Which castles will be conquered and which will prevail? You'll have to watch to find out.
But the journey doesn't end there --in fact, it's just beginning. Battle Castle extends into a multi-platform quest, taking us deep into the secret world of medieval warfare and strategy. Become the ultimate 'Castle Master'. Stay tuned for more on the Battle Castle experience.

This project is part of the Ars electronica Garden Lima. As we immerse ourselves in the network of alliances, approximations and relationships currently experienced through computers, we are enveloped in an innate need to connect / communicate and stay current in the virtual world; a simulacrum of life itself further established by a pandemic that has confined us to a “flat prison cell”. It is this virtual architecture precisely that makes it possible to place the world at a remove, shortening time and distances thanks to technologies that underpin an ecosystem for discussion and exchange with multiple agents.

So here is my flight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from where I'll transit to Sandakan in Eastern Malaysia. And here is my Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 in a dreadful 2-5-2 seat configuration: true cattle class at its worst. I've read of the 2-5-2 configuration before, and, like ghosts or spirits, thought it was mere fantasy and could not really exist. Yikes, it does! Whoever designed this dreadfully uncomfortable 2-5-2 arrangement should be clapped in irons, strapped to the middle seat of the 5-seat middle row and forced to endure a 19 hour flight in a full aircraft! Fortunately, my seat was an aisle seat on the side 2-seat row, and my flight was just 7 hours long. This is my bird just before take off at Dubai International Airport.

In January 2022 I visited a special exhibition of Barbara Hepworth's work at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield.
This brought together the Gallery's own Hepworth works and others loaned from elsewhere.
This 1955 piece in Guarea wood and was inspired by a visit to Greece following the death of Hepworth's eldest son Paul Skeaping. She noted "Timeless and in space, pure in conception and like a rock to hold on to, these forms in Greece have been a constant source or inspiration". Phira is the capital of Santorini.

St Matthew, Portman Road, Ipswich
In the 1960s, Ipswich went mad. Town planners devised a scheme whereby the population would rise towards half a million, and the existing town centre would be encircled and crossed by urban motorways. They didn't get very far before the men in white coats came and took them away, releasing them into the wild somewhere like Croydon or Wolverhampton; but the towering Civic Centre, the brutalist police station and courts buildings were evidence of their ambitions (the Civic Centre has since been demolished), and the four lane Civic Drive cuts across what was the Mount residential area, the little terraces all demolished to make way for the 20th century.
Now, the new Ipswich plan designates this whole area for residential use, and the civil servants have all moved down to the river. This new plan, if it emerges, can only serve St Matthew well, sitting beside Civic Drive as it does, and cut off from the town centre by it.
St Matthew is, perhaps, less well-known than the other working town centre churches. Partly, this is because it is the only one of them which is kept locked, but also because it is such an effort to get to if you are a visitor. Because of this, many people don't realise that it contains a treasure of national importance. It is the early 16th Century font, which is quite unlike any other in Suffolk, and perhaps is unique in England.
Before we come to it, the church building itself is worth examining. This must once have been quite a small church, but is now a big one. Its core is 15th century, including the lower part of the tower. Nothing else is. Its 19th century expansion can be explained by the proximity of the Ipswich Barracks, for this became the Garrison church. This resulted in the huge aisles, as wide as the nave. The chancel was also rebuilt, but retaining its medieval roof.
Until 1970, the church was hemmed in to the east, but the construction of Civic Drive opened up this view, which isn't a particularly good one, particularly from the north east. It comes as a surprise to find the west end on Portman Road quite so pastoral, but the hidden graveyard surrounding the tower is quite beautiful, and would once have been the familiar view. Ancestor hunters will be horrified to learn that the greater part of the graveyard was built over in the 1960s, with the construction of a church school to the south. All those graves are under the playground now. The part of the graveyard to the east fell foul of the road, and those immediately beyond the chancel were turned into a garden, now the preserve of homeless drinkers. A footpath runs along the north side, which will take you through to the main entrance, the west door, under the tower. You step into a broadly Victorian interior, and find the font in the north aisle.
East Anglia is famous for its Seven Sacrament fonts, 13 of which are in Suffolk. These show the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, and are rare survivals; so much Catholic iconography was destroyed by the Protestant reformers of the 16th century, and the Puritans of the 17th century.
Here at St Matthew, we find an even rarer survival of England's Catholic past; a series of images of events associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Before describing it, I have to make the point that this really is one of the dozen most important and significant medieval art survivals in Suffolk, and one of the finest late medieval fonts in England. There is nothing as good as this in the Victorian and Albert Museum, or in the British Museum. I make this point simply because on every occasion that I have visited, the person accompanying me (they don't let you vist the church on your own) did not seem to realise quite how important the font was, and gave the impression that the parish, though they care for it lovingly, also did not realise what a treasure, what a jewel, they had on the premises. "It's quite pretty," said the lady when I visited in September 2016.
Of the eight panels, two bear Tudor roses, but five of them depict events in the story of Mary, mother of Jesus. These five reliefs, and a sixth of the Baptism of Christ, are amazing art objects. They show the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin, The Adoration of the Magi, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, the Coronation of the Queen of Heaven, and the Mother of God Enthroned. The guide books all describe these as the five Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. In fact, this is technically not the case, although certainly the font was intended for use in rosary meditations. After extensive research, the late John Blatchly showed convincingly that this font was paid for by the Rector John Bailey to celebrate the Miracle of the Maid of Ipswich, which occured in the parish in 1516 and was held in renown all over England in the few short years left before the Reformation intervened.
We know that the rosary was a hugely popular devotion in medieval England, and that a persons 'bedes' were their most valued possession. They played a major part in personal devotion, but were also important as a way of participating in the liturgy, and an expression of communal piety. Most pre-Reformation memorials show people holding their rosary beads. However, what we now think of as the Rosary sequence only dates from the 14th century or so, and was only one among many - the so-called Dominican Rosary, which is now the predominant meditation. The rosary was greatly popularised in England by St Thomas of Canterbury in the 12th century, who devised a series of seven joyful mysteries, including the Adoration of the Magi and the Assumption. Most sequences were of five meditations, and we must presume that this is what we find here. In time, the Joyful Mysteries would come to be Mary's earthly experiences, and the Glorious Mysteries her heavenly ones.
Because personal devotion was considered a diversion from congregational worship, and Marian devotion was thought superstitious, the rosary was completely anathematised by the 16th century Protestant reformers, and attempts were made to write it out of history, by destroying images of it. Within forty years of this font being produced, possession of rosary beads was punishable by death in England.
The survival of an image of the Assumption is particularly interesting. We still have much surviving evidence of religious life in England before the Church of England came along, but it does not really reveal to us the relative significance of different devotions, simply because some of the major cults and their images - St Thomas of Canterbury, for instance - were ruthlessly rooted out and destroyed. The Assumption is another case in point. 15th and early 16th century wills and bequests reveal a great devotion to the Blessed Virgin, particularly to the feast of the Assumption, which is celebrated on August 15th.
This is at the height of the harvest, of course, and it is not difficult to see the connection between this feast and the culmination of the farming year, or the importance to farmworkers of a festival at this time. More than 200 Suffolk parish churches were dedicated to the Assumption. When the dedications of Anglican churches were restored in the 19th century, after several centuries of disuse, these generally became 'St Mary', although some have been restored correctly since, notably Ufford. The Church of England, of course, does not recognise the doctrine of the Assumption.
Of equal significance are the other images, of course; extraordinary survivals. And why the Baptism of Christ? In fact, this is the most common 'odd panel out' on the Seven Sacrament fonts, and shows us the significance of 'anointing to serve' in the medieval church. The medieval church didn't see Baptism as a mere naming ceremony, or welcoming ceremony, as so many people seem to do today. It was the sacrament by which people received their commission as Christians.
The north aisle also retains panels from the rood screen, built into a 19th century screen.You might miss these, because chairs are stacked against them. Three of the panels show bishops, and the other two show cheering crowds of seven and nine people respectively. I do not think that these can be in their original configuration. Roy Tricker thought that the crowds were portraits of parishioners, but I have seen elsewhere a suggestion that this may have been the screen to the chantry altar of the guild of Erasmus, which was established here.
There is clear evidence of the location of at least one nave altar, since a squint kicks in from the north aisle. There are two good 17th century wall memorials in the chancel, the best being to Anthony Penning and his wife, depicting their children weeping, some holding skulls to show that they pre-deceased their parents.
Much of the 19th century woodwork is from the workshops of two major 19th century Ipswich carpenters, Henry Ringham and John Corder. Ringham's work can be found in several Suffolk churches, most notably St Mary le Tower and Great Bealings, while Corder was an architect responsible for several restorations, including Swilland. Both have Ipswich roads named after them.
The church has an extensive collection of late 19th and early 20th Century glass, not all of it good, but happily by a wide variety of workshops. The great curiosity is the window in the east end of the south aisle, which depicts Jane Trimmer Gaye, wife of a 19th Century Rector, flanked by female members of her husband's flock with images of birth and death. It was designed by her brother Frank Howard, and made by George Hedgeland. Another oddity is Percy Bacon's Christ flanked by St Edmund and St Felix - for the last hundred years the Saints have stood there with their names transposed.
There is a frankly functional modern screen, with a curious Anglo-catholic style rood, which looks most out of place, for St Matthew today is very much in the evangelical tradition. But the lady who allowed me entry thought it 'nice', so I expect nobody minds.

When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.
All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.
The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.
It should be noted that F-86L aircraft were also assigned to the 196th FIS, which was an integral part of Air Defense Command. The 196th FIS was based at Ontario ANGB, and the successor unit is the Guard refueling unit currently based at March Field. (Source: Ray V. Miller).
During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.
-March Field Air Museum website (www.marchfield.org/)Nicknamed the "Flying Vacuum" because of its low slung jet intakes, the F-89 Scorpion would ingest any loose objects it crossed paths with on the runway. An attempt to place screens over the intakes failed when, at high altitudes, ice formed over the screens and caused the engines to flare out. Designed as an all weather ground attack fighter, the Scorpion was the first US interceptor armed with nuclear air-to-air missiles and the first aircraft to live fire an AIR-2 Genie nuclear air-to-air missile on 19 July 1957.
According to the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA/RSA), Maxwell AFB, AL, the museum's F-89J has the following history:
The aircraft at the March Field Museum is a J model, serial number 52-1949. It was manufactured by Northrop and delivered to the Air Force on 24 November 1954
In June, 1981, it was transported by truck to March AFB Museum. The nose radar equipment was removed and placed into a display case by former radar technician who was in the RAF during WWII. The display shows the many glass radio tubes in use at the time. This aircraft is on loan from the USAF.

In 2012 we received from NASA an order for 6 new models of International Space Station. NASA requested to modify our current model in order to represent the latest changes and additions to ISS so the model will depict the most current and updated configuration.
The foam lining in the transit cases for modified models was adjusted accordingly to accommodate the models and new separate elements.
Along with the order of 6 modified models for NASA we also produced one model in luxury edition for CERN, which was shipped to Geneva, Switzerland and receive excellent feedbacks for its accuracy and versatility.

Trust the British to make really nice raingear. The Carradice Pro-Route rain cape is heavy-duty, highly visible, well constructed, and ideal for standard diamond-frame bikes. For recumbents it has one obnoxious flaw: the front zipper has no sewn-in web/backing (like around the tongues of zippered rain boots), and since it's a local minimum, rain collects in the zipper and happily trickles on through. Still working on that...
In other respects it's great, though. It's velcro'd to the Streamer fairing (just like Peder Torgersen's, which was the inspiration for mine) and allows plenty of maneuverability, including access to the front water bottle. Shifting blind and being unable to see the speedometer are only minor nuisances.
Update 21 Nov 2010: Friday night's 12-mile ride in 46F temps with even colder water dribbling down chest and, shall we say, subarctic regions, served only to validate the utter retardedness of a topside zipper. However, the back is also sufficiently long to reach the fairing, so one 180-degree rotation later (plus another strip of sticky velcro), it looks like we have a solution. More cold rain is predicted for the next couple of days, so we'll find out shortly...

Showing one configuration of period attachment of the sword belt to the scabbard. This is my most successful recreation of the integrated scabbard belt that was period from the mid-eleventh through the mid-fourteenth centuries.
A great example of this style still exists in the scabbard of Infante Fernando de la Cerda dating to the 1270s. It is also depicted in various forms of artwork including tomb effigies of knights. Probably the most prominent examples of it are the fantastic statues of the patrons of Naumburg Cathedral. Margrave Ekkehard's sword is sheathed in a scabbard very similar to the one I recreated above.
As complex as it may look, this is deceptively simple to accomplish with nothing more than an exacto knife, a punch, and a straight edge. The buckle end of the belt is split into two halves that lace through a series of slits in the scabbard leather. The long end of the belt merely loops around the scabbard.
The scabbard is a modified Albion campaign scabbard; two slats of wood covered with leather, just like the originals.

The Enterprise is without a doubt the strangest ship in the Territorial Fleet. While most designs used by the TN are homegrown small- to mid-sized, highly adaptable vessels capable of rapid deployment to fill a multitude of roles, the Enterprise is gigantic, slow, and decidedly not of Republic (or even human) origin. Found adrift and unpowered, the origins of this former derelict are unknown. Carbon-dating places it around 5000 years old, and while the titanium alloy used in its construction is not exotic, its sheer cost boggles the mind. The elements used to power it's engines are extremely rare and also costly, perphaps another reason why the Republic never attempted to build a copy.
The Enterprise is by far the largest ship in the Territorial Navy, more than four times the tonnage of a Claymore-class cruiser. To call the Enterprise slow is slightly misleading. Its FTL seems to be slower than standard Slingshot drives, and its sublight speed is likewise unimpressive. However, the Enterprise uses a unique singularity drive which allows it to make miniature FTL jumps inside of a solar system.
While the technology has been succesfully reverse-engineered, it is too large and expensive to practically fit aboard any vessel. A modified, less powerful version was eventually created and is used as the -Cuttthoat-class's F-Zero drive.
The Enterprise offers a unique capability for the Territorial Navy. It is the only battleship-sized vessel in the Fleet, with enough hangar space to house multiple space wings, fulfilling the role of a sort of super-carrier. Unlike other Republic ships, all its weapons are energy-based, mostly lasers with a smattering of plasma. Its shield are extremely weak, only strong enough to deflect astral debris, but its armour is immensely strong, able to shrug off devastating amounts of firepower.
The Enterprise has multiple sections that can detach themselves from the main hull, exposing additional hangers for rapid deployments. It is suspected that these had other uses for its original creators, but none can tell exactly what. The Enterprise is not attached to any Territorial Fleet Group, instead serving as the flagship of its own Enterprise Task Force, which may serve on its own or be attached to a fleet as needs require.
Service aboard the Enterprise is seen as a tremendous honour, and the ship is beloved thoughout the Holy Terran Republic. It has a reputation for good luck. When attacked by a Concordat attack group in 2388, the "Big E" was heavily damaged, and destruction seemed imminent as a Concordat battleship closed in on the wounded ship.
It was at this moment that laser battery #1 fired a burst straight through the enemy's core, annihilating it. Later, the shot was calculated to require more than 200% the maximum energy capacity of the charge banks. Even more strangely, post-battle investigation revealed that all power conduits to the turret had been severed before the shot was taken. None of the gunnery officers could testify to having taken the shot.
There are numerous eyewitness accounts of "ghostly figures" see throughout the ship. Sometimes they are credited with saving a crewman from a scenario where certain death seems the only possible outcome. It is no wonder that the highly superstitious Territorials believe that the spirits of the Marines who died securing the ship return occasionally to protect them. Some believe it is the ghosts of the original creators of the ship.
Morale aboard the Enterprise is consistently among the highest in the entire fleet. Its current commander is Captain Desjani, who serves under Admiral Geary, who is in overall command of the Enterpise Task Force.
Average number of yearly missions undertaken by ship class:
Rapier-class: 31
Claymore-class: 22
Taffy-class: 156
RTS Enterpise: 40

1963 Porsche 356B Super-90 Coupe
Chassis No. 122550
Engine: 1600 (Super-90)
Transmission: 741 4-Speed
History
The Porsche 356 was the company's first production automobile. It was a lightweight and nimble handling rear-engine rear-wheel-drive 2 door sports car, available in hardtop and convertible configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria where approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965.
In 1960 Porsche first offered the offered the S90, or 'Super 90' motor as an available option in the 356B.
Porsche Super 90 Engine
Sports Car Graphic reported that the Porsche Super 90 was “tamer in traffic and [in the] lower speed ranges than the 1600 Super. Getting off the mark fast from a standing start takes some practice, as the big carburetors can’t be dumped open too fast. Once the biggest chunk of inertia is overcome, you can [floor the accelerator] and start moving out very fast indeed. In fact, one of the most impressive things about this engine is the feeling of torque -- the sheer push in the shoulders -- that one gets on booting the throttle...”
Objectively, the Super 90 was quick: with less than 10 seconds 0-60 mph in SCG’s test.
Testers generally praised the B’s handling, especially in 1961 when Koni shock absorbers became standard for both Supers, matched by suitably lower spring rates. More significant was a reduction in rear roll stiffness via 23-mm torsion bars and the addition of a transverse leaf spring -- sometimes called a “camber compensator” -- as standard for S90s (optional elsewhere).
Unique features of the Super 90 Engine appealed to performance-minded drivers. Super 90s could be revved about 800 rpm higher than other 356B 1600s thanks to a special cooling layout that gathered in more air, plus nitrided crank and cam-bearing surfaces, a lighter flywheel, stiffer valve springs, light-alloy rockers, larger-diameter (by 5 mm) main bearings, and cylinders lined with Ferral, a coating of steel over molybdenum. S90s also had a unique oil pickup system that allowed the engine to draw lubricant from the sump’s full side in hard cornering, thus ensuring proper lubrication at all times. It was an important advance that Porsche racers had wanted for several years and was especially welcome in the high-performance 90.
1963 was the last year for the 356B, it was succeeded by the 356C.
Presented here is an incredible three-owner example of the rare and highly desirable Super 90 Coupe; special ordered from the Porsche factory in 1962. This rare S-90 Reutter Coupe’s history is complete and well known, with the second owner possessing the car for 40 years! Finished in the gorgeous, yet seldom seen original Bali Blue/Light Brown factory color combination, this beauty has a beautiful older restored with no expense spared and no detail overlooked. An original California Black Plate car with extensive service records and history, this S90 has been well maintained and cared for its entire life.
It is accompanied by all the great accessories and documentation that are so important for a serious collector; spare tire, complete tool kit, reproduction 356B drivers manual, a full set of keys, service documentation, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and Larry Aguilar’s 40-year owner biography.
An original Bali Blue S90 with matching #’s as per Porsche Certificate of Authenticity!
Incredibly restored and immaculate interior with working radio!
One of the most delightful 356’s we’ve ever driven, tight and smooth shifting, great power and tight steering! A great set up!

This is a photograph from the 4th and final round of the 2017 Pat Finnerty Memorial 5KM Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 24th May 2017 at 20:00. This is the final round and consequently some of the decisions around the final configuration of the category prizes are still open for resolution. The Road League is promoted and organised by Mulligar Harriers Athletic Club and sponsored by local sponsors including O'Brien's Renault dealership. This is a very well established as an annual event which takes place on every Wednesday night in the month of May. Tonight's weather was absolutely wonderful. Warm summer air filled the Belvedere area as the runners were treated to perfect summer weather. Just under 200 participants took part in the race which runs a traffic free course over a mix of road and hilly forest trail. Congratulations are due to all of the Mullingar Harriers club who put this excellent series together.
Timing and event management was provided by http://www.myrunresults.com/. Their website will contain the results to today's race.

This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
