Dedicated to Davina Whitehouse, 1912-2002
Davina Whitehouse is a relative of my Mom's family from the UK. We were traveling through the North Island and stopped at her home in Pukerua Bay.
It is dedicated to Moses as, like the Byzantines, the Venetians tended to canonise Old Testament prophets. The first church on this site was said to have been built of wood in 797 and dedicated to San Vittore. The second was built in 947 by Moisè Venier and dedicated to his name saint (St Moses). This church was renovated after the fire of 1105.
The current church dates to a rebuilding of 1632. Work on the façade began in 1668 to designs by Alessandro Tremignon.
The elaborate Baroque facade is covered in carvings.
There ae cenotaphs or monuments to the Fini family, who paid for the (re-)building; the sculptor was Heinrich Meyring (many other spellings and Italianizations exist)
John Law, originator of the Mississippi Scheme, is buried in the church.

Elizabeth Public Schools formally dedicated its Academy of Finance on Monday, December 18 in honor of longtime City of Elizabeth Mayor J. Christian Bollwage.
The Academy of Finance, which was founded in 2011 as part of what is currently the Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr. Health and Public Safety Academy, was renamed the J. Christian Bollwage Finance Academy after a resolution was passed at the July 20, 2017 Elizabeth Board of Education meeting.
Bollwage Finance Academy students take eight semesters of NAF business and finance-themed classes, such as Entrepreneurship, Business in a Global Economy, and Principles of Finance along with core classes, which are infused with the theme of finance.
J. Christian Bollwage, the mayor of the City of Elizabeth since 1992, has helped spur significant economic development in the city over the past two decades through his leadership and financial acumen. Additionally, among many other accomplishments, his commitment to the children of Elizabeth during his tenure has yielded a children’s library and new parks and fields for children to play safely.
Assemblyman Jamel Holley, members of the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, and members of Elizabeth City Council joined the Elizabeth Board of Education, district central administration, and members of the Bollwage Finance Academy community in formally opening the new school.

Don't know why, but this song just popped into my head while I was walking on the beach...
(Pauling and Bass)
While I'm far away from you, my baby,
I know it's hard for you, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn -
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby.
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love.
Love can never be exactly like we want it to be.
I could be satisfied knowing you love me.
There's one thing I want you to do especially for me -
And it's something that everybody needs.
While I'm far away from you, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
Because it's hard for me, my baby,
And the darkest hour is just before dawn.
If there's one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it's something that everybody needs...
Each night before you go to bed, my baby,
Whisper a little prayer for me, my baby,
And tell all the stars above -
This is dedicated to the one I love.
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated to the one I love
This is dedicated (to the one I love)
This is dedicated...
The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the display and preservation of rare military aircraft, tanks and other military equipment.
On rotation in the three working hangars are military artifacts from the United States, Britain, Germany, Soviet Union and Japan.
The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum is housed in three working hangars on Paine Field in Everett, WA. Mechanics are typically on-site Monday through Friday working on maintaining the technology to operating condition. The museum provides guided tours seven days and features 90" touch-screens, combat simulators and life-size replicas.
The museum also features an exhibition of parachuting dogs, rare animal artifacts and animals participating in armed conflicts.
In 1998, Paul Allen began acquiring and preserving vintage aircraft. Allen's passion for aviation and history, and his awareness of the increasing rarity of original World War II aircraft, motivated him to restore these artifacts to the highest standard of authenticity and share them with the public.
The Collection opened to the public in 2004 at the Arlington, Washington, airfield, but in 2008 moved to a newly renovated historic industrial hangar located at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, United States. In 2013, the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum added a 22,000 square foot expansion hangar for its expanding collection. In 2018 came another expansion featuring the opening of Hangar C which added over two dozen additional artifacts. On March 24, 2017 the Museum changed its name from the Flying Heritage Collection to the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum to reflect the transition from exclusively aircraft to a military vehicle & history Museum. In 2018, the Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum became a public 501c(3) nonprofit.

Diorama Museum
Opened at the beginning of this century, the Diorama Museum was created interested ub history, the veterans of the Great Patriotic War and their descendants. The main spotlight of the exposition is the mini-diorama dedicated to the battles of 1942-1943, which took place at the Chizhovsky foothold. The second floor offers visitors the chance to get acquainted with the history of the Voronezh aeroclub, which later became the foundational unit of the Airborne Troops. Also in one of the exposition halls, you can find a collection of all the documents and items of the Navy of the period of the reign of Peter the Great. Guests can see the anchor of a Turkish frigate and the ordinances of the king himself. Next to the museum building, you can also find some real military equipment (tanks, cannons and even a real helicopter). The official website of the Diorama Museum is diorama-vrn.ru.
Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
The first chronicle references to the word "Voronezh" are dated 1177, when the Ryazan prince Yaropolk, having lost the battle, fled "to Voronozh" and there was moving "from town to town". Modern data of archeology and history interpret Voronezh as a geographical region, which included the Voronezh river (tributary of the Don) and a number of settlements. In the lower reaches of the river, a unique Slavic town-planning complex of the 8th – early 11th century was discovered, which covered the territory of the present city of Voronezh and its environs (about 42 km long, about 13 forts and many unfortified villages). By the 12th – 13th centuries, most of the old towns were desolate, but new settlements appeared upstream, closer to Ryazan.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronezh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
The linguistic comparative analysis of the name "Voronezh" was carried out by the Khovansky Foundation in 2009. There is an indication of the place names of many countries in Eurasia, which may partly be not only similar in sound, but also united by common Indo-European languages: Varanasi, Varna, Verona, Brno, etc.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.
During World War II, Voronezh was the scene of fierce fighting between Soviet and combined Axis troops. The Germans used it as a staging area for their attack on Stalingrad, and made it a key crossing point on the Don River. In June 1941, two BM-13 (Fighting machine #13 Katyusha) artillery installations were built at the Voronezh excavator factory. In July, the construction of Katyushas was rationalized so that their manufacture became easier and the time of volley repetition was shortened from five minutes to fifteen seconds. More than 300 BM-13 units manufactured in Voronezh were used in a counterattack near Moscow in December 1941. In October 22, 1941, the advance of the German troops prompted the establishment of a defense committee in the city. On November 7, 1941, there was a troop parade, devoted to the anniversary of the October Revolution. Only three such parades were organized that year: in Moscow, Kuybyshev, and Voronezh. In late June 1942, the city was attacked by German and Hungarian forces. In response, Soviet forces formed the Voronezh Front. By July 6, the German army occupied the western river-bank suburbs before being subjected to a fierce Soviet counter-attack. By July 24 the frontline had stabilised along the Voronezh River as the German forces continued southeast into the Great Bend of the Don. The attack on Voronezh represented the first phase of the German Army's 1942 campaign in the Soviet Union, codenamed Case Blue.
Until January 25, 1943, parts of the Second German Army and the Second Hungarian Army occupied the western part of Voronezh. During Operation Little Saturn, the Ostrogozhsk–Rossosh Offensive, and the Voronezhsko-Kastornenskoy Offensive, the Voronezh Front exacted heavy casualties on Axis forces. On January 25, 1943, Voronezh was liberated after ten days of combat. During the war the city was almost completely ruined, with 92% of all buildings destroyed.
By 1950, Voronezh had been rebuilt. Most buildings and historical monuments were repaired. It was also the location of a prestigious Suvorov Military School, a boarding school for young boys who were considered to be prospective military officers, many of whom had been orphaned by war.
In 1950–1960, new factories were established: a tire factory, a machine-tool factory, a factory of heavy mechanical pressing, and others. In 1968, Serial production of the Tupolev Tu-144 supersonic plane was established at the Voronezh Aviation factory. In October 1977, the first Soviet domestic wide-body plane, Ilyushin Il-86, was built there.
In 1989, TASS published details of an alleged UFO landing in the city's park and purported encounters with extraterrestrial beings reported by a number of children. A Russian scientist that was cited in initial TASS reports later told the Associated Press that he was misquoted, cautioning, "Don't believe all you hear from TASS," and "We never gave them part of what they published", and a TASS correspondent admitted the possibility that some "make-believe" had been added to the TASS story, saying, "I think there is a certain portion of truth, but it is not excluded that there is also fantasizing".
From 10 to 17 September 2011, Voronezh celebrated its 425th anniversary. The anniversary of the city was given the status of a federal scale celebration that helped attract large investments from the federal and regional budgets for development.
On December 17, 2012, Voronezh became the fifteenth city in Russia with a population of over one million people.
Today Voronezh is the economic, industrial, cultural, and scientific center of the Central Black Earth Region. As part of the annual tradition in the Russian city of Voronezh, every winter the main city square is thematically drawn around a classic literature. In 2020, the city was decorated using the motifs from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. In the year of 2021, the architects drew inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen as well as the animation classic The Snow Queen from the Soviet Union. The fairy tale replica city will feature the houses of Kai and Gerda, the palace of the snow queen, an ice rink, and illumination.

Paolo Maria Paciaudi (1710-1785) studied in Turin and lived in Venice. He moved to Bologna and continued his studies in philosophy and mathematics. He later taught philosophy in Genova. For approximately forty years he served as clergyman in various Italian cities, but eventualy dedicated himself to the study of Antiquity. Paciaudi’s early works deal with ancient Greek art and the history of the Grand Masters of the Order of Malta. In 1750 he published a highly interesting study on Christian bathhouses and cleansing rituals in general (“De sacris Christianorum, Balneis”…). While in Rome, Paciaudi became acquainted with Compte de Caylus from France, a well-known collector, antiquarian, scholar and engraver. Between 1751 and 1756 Paciaudi published eight more works, all in Latin. Paciaudi was also friends with famous archaeologist and art historian J.J. Winckelmann and scholar Abbé Barthelemy.
In 1761 he published “Monumenta Peloponnesia Commentariis”, written in excellent Latin. This work describes the antiquities which were carried off to Venice from the islands and the Peloponnese during the Ottoman-Venetian war of the 1680’s, and became part of the collections of the Nani family in Venice.
The Venetian officials who arrived in the Peloponnese after its conquest by the Venetian Republic seized the opportunity to realize antiquarian research. The Italian scholars who accompanied them explored all the territory, recorded Peloponnesian antiquities but also pillaged numerous pieces on behalf of the great collector families of Venice. Thus statues, busts, reliefs, funerary steles, inscriptions and coins found their way to Venice.
After the publication of this edition, in 1862 Paciaudi became librarian and administrator of the Duke of Palma’s collection. He travelled to Paris, and managed to collect sixty thousand volumes (manuscripts and printed works) within six years. At the same time, he compiled an annotated catalogue of these works, thereby creating one of the most complete libraries in Italy. Later on, Paciaudi supervised the excavations of Velleja and became director of the Colleges of Parma. Towards the end of his life he returned to his native town, and was forced to abandoned writing because of infirmity. He died at the age of seventy-five.

Bologna'ya giderek felsefe ve matematik okur, daha sonra ise Cenova üniversitesi felsefe kürsüsünde ders verir. Papaz olarak on yıl boyunca İtalya'nın birçok kentinde görev yapar, en sonunda kendini antik yunan çalışmalarına adar. İlk eserleri antik yunan sanatı ile Malta Şövalyelerinin Büyük Üstad'ının (Gran Maestro) tarihi hakkındadır. 1750 yılında Hristiyanların hamamları ve genel olarak törensel ruh temizlemeleri (De sacris Christianorum, Balneis…) hakkında çok ilginç bir kitap yayınlar. Roma'dayken Paciaudi tanınmış bir koleksiyoncu, arkeoloji araştırmacısı, entelektüel ve gravürcü olan Fransız kont de Caylus'u tanır. Aralarında sürdürdükleri sık yazışma 1805 yılında A. Sérieys tarafından yayınlanır. 1751 ile 1756 yılları arasında ise Paciaudi'nin tümü latince yazılmış olan sekiz eseri yayınlanır. Kont de Caylus'dan başka, Paciaudi, ünlü arkeolog ve sanat tarihçisi J.J. Winckelmann ve entelektüel Αbbe Bartélemy ile de dostluk sürdürür.
1761 yılında mükemmel bir latince ile yayınladığı Monumenta Peloponnesia Commentariis kitabında 1680'li yıllarda Osmanlı-Venedik savaşları sırasında Peloponez ve adalardan Venedik'e taşınmış olan ve Venedikli büyük koleksiyoncu aile Nani'lerin koleksiyonlarına eklenen arkeolojik eserler betimlenmektedir. Peloponez'in Venedik tarafından fethinden hemen sonra Mora'ya gelen Venedikli rütbeliler yönetim ve maliye işlerinden başka arkeolojik araştırma tutkularını da tatmin edecek zemin bulurlar. Kendilerine refakat eden italyan entelektüeller her tarafı araştırıp bir yandan arkeolojik eserleri kaydederler bir yandan da Mora'nın tümünü Venedikli büyük koleksiyoncu aileler hesabına yağma ederler. Böylelikle birçok heykel, büst, kabartma yontu, kitabe, yazıt ve sikke, Venedikli yönetici sınıf mensuplarının koleksiyonlarını zenginleştirmek üzere Venedik yolunu alır.
1762'de gerçekleşen bu yayından hemen sonra Paciaudi Parma Dükü'nün kütüphanecisi ve koleksiyon sorumlusu görevini üstlenir. Bu sıfatla Paris'e gider ve 6 yıl içinde 60 bin adet kitap (basılı ve el yazması) toplar. Aynı zamanda bunların açıklamalı kataloglarını da kaleme alır. Böylelikle İtalya'nın en geniş kapsamlı kitaplıklarından birini yaratmış olur. Daha sonraları Paciaudi Velleja'daki kazıların idaresini üstlenir ve Parma Kolejlerinin müdürlüğüne atanır. En sonunda memleketine döner ancak bir sakatlıktan dolayı yazarlık etkinliğini terketmek zorunda kalır ve yetmiş beş yaşında ölür.
