The Kuman Bible Dedication parade, including the brass band from the
Lutheran Trumpet School at Banz and a truckload of New Testaments,
marching through Kundiawa. Note the SIL aircraft on the airstrip behind the parade.
This is one of a series of photos of the Kuman New Testament dedication
in Kundiawa, Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea, on the 27th day of June
2008. This is the first day these people could get a whole New Testament
in their own language. There are about 950 languages spoken in Papua New
Guinea. Other than the 3 national languages (Melanisian Pidgin, English,
and Hiri Motu), Kuman is the language with the third highest population
of speakers.

"Dedicated to my wife:
75 years is not long enough
I'll never stop holding your hand."
On September 5, 2014, a dedication ceremony was held for the restoration work over the past 2 years. Present were representatives from the BLM, History Colorado, San Juan County Commissioners, our local historical society, architect and local residents. Kneeling in front row in gray T shirt is David Singer, project manager, then to the right, Loren Lew, who has been in charge of the construction, and myself, the next person standing next to Loren. This also celebrated the 24th anniversary of the Alpine Loop, though they thought it was the 25th. .

I haven't fooled around in Photoshop for a while and thought this was an excellent image to start with. The flare is real. The color is not. ;) A little busy?

Dedication unknown, Borley, Essex
Borley is a tiny hamlet not far from the high street of the large Suffolk village of Long Melford. It became, in the 1930s, the focus of notoriety thanks to the activities of a conman and self-proclaimed 'ghost hunter' called Harry Price. Price elaborated on the hoaxing and spoofing of the successive Rectors and their families of the time. As a result of his books, Borley Rectory became known as 'the most haunted house in England'. The hokum and fakery still attract a lunatic fringe of sensation-seekers with nothing better to do, and hence the church is ordinarily kept locked, unusually for north Essex.
An unlikely knock-on effect of the events at Borley was what happened at nearby Middleton - one might even imagine there was something in the water around here which led to such shameless self-delusion.
This, from the Observer for 31.12.2000:
In We Faked the Ghosts of Borley Rectory, Louis Mayerling - for whom the house was a second home until its destruction by fire in 1938 - reveals for the first time how the 'hauntings' were created by the rectory's various inhabitants. He describes how they watched in amazement as the world fell for the elaborate hoax.
An investigation carried out by the BBC the year before the fire, when Mayerling was 26, noted more than 2,000 incidents of paranormal activity and concluded that the hauntings were true. The Most Haunted House in England, a book by Harry Price, the most eminent psychical investigator of the time, who lived in the house for a year, cemented the rectory's position as the best documented case of haunting in the annals of psychical research.
'Harry's book became a sort of bible and foundation of knowledge to the thousands who, in that age of psychic phenomena, were keen to believe,' said Mayerling. 'Before long, Borley Rectory stories were practically a daily occurrence in the London newspapers: at the height of it all, we were visited by dozens of coaches packed with ghost-hunters each day. People were coming from as far away as America.
'I would love to say that there was a grain of truth in it all, but I felt that the book had to be written to reveal the farcical truth about the house - as personally experienced.'
George Bernard Shaw, T.E. Lawrence, Sir Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, and Bernard Spilsbury, the Home Office criminal forensic scientist, were firm believers in the hauntings and attended séances at Borley. Even now, belief in the hauntings has remained so powerful that the case is still held up by believers as incontrovertible proof of the supernatural.
Mayerling arrived in the house, on the Essex-Suffolk border, in 1918 to find the eccentric Rev Harry Bull and his family of 14 children taking active delight in perpetuating local stories of a spectral nun, a family ghost and paranormal activity in the area.
'The house was the embodiment of eccentricities of many kinds,' Mayerling remembered. He reveals in the book how a 'magic piano' that the Bulls claimed was played by spirit hands was in fact activated by the six-year-old Mayerling plucking the piano strings with a poker from the safety of a nearby gap in the wall.
The infamous examples of poltergeist activity were perpetrated by various servants and children who were, Mayerling claims, encouraged by the Bulls to exploit the house's many hidden doors and passages. 'The example of paranormal activity that was given most publicity was the ringing of the servants' bells,' said Mayerling. 'That was simply activated by prodding the servants' bells through the barred windows over the well in the kitchen passage.'
Britain's fascination with Borley peaked in the Thirties, when the Rev Lionel Foyster took over the parish with his wife Marianne. Foyster found it hard to survive on his church stipend of £6 a week, and he and his wife decided that boosting the ghostly reputation of Borley was the best way to make ends meet.
Mayerling, who had returned to live in the house with the Foysters, tells how the couple installed a new water heater which emitted heavy knocking sounds and proclaimed themselves horrified by the noises, and pitted the skirting boards with phosphorus powder which catches fire when exposed to the air.
The couple encouraged Mayerling, still just a teenager, to walk the gardens at dusk in a black cape and turned-up collar - giving birth to the myth of a headless monk who took to writing cryptic messages on the walls of the house.
'Probably to save costs at Borley, sea-sand had been used in the walls in place of the regulation material. This caused a permanent dampness which swallowed up anything written on them in a matter of hours,' Mayerling said. 'Nevertheless, many scholars recognised the wall-writings as being genuine poltergeist activity and they were illustrated in the press across the world, adding a great stimulus to psychical research and Spiritualism.'
The real ghosts of Borley, of course, are the Waldegrave family, lords of the manor in late medieval times, and memorialised in wide-eyed terror in effigy on their rustic tomb of about 1600.

Members of the EDGE Residential College faculty and students in that college were on hand to dedicate a labyrinth behind State Hall on Thursday. The labyrinth was a service project that was suggested by the students as an improvement behind the hall as well as an area of meditation and reflection. To uphold ages-old tradition, the labyrinth was dedicated by song as the performer walked the labyrinth.

I know this poet-
he tangles with words
and sure enough,
we may never find closure.
but he would say:
close
sure.
(and those are his words, not mine.)
(for I use parenthesis)
Thesis?
We dance on clouds, we drift over each night
waiting for the day.
and when it does arrive-
it is empty and burdened.
Bird? End?
(small smile)
don't forget that night.
That day.
The sleepwalking dreams of the past.
For they brought us here
and we will always be
linked.

~Dedication~
This is one from the archives. Almost three years ago while on the coldest day I have ever shot. With the windchill it dipped below -37 degrees which is so cold that bare skin can freeze in just a few minutes. While the conditions were miserable, the sea smoke that it caused was amazing. To my surprise, lobster and fishing boats were still braving the frigid day to haul their catch.

Agir pour Benares, is a small French NGO i came to know about after I met its founder, Michel Batlle, in Varanasi, in February 2006. With the help of private donators, Michel opened three dispensaries in different parts of Varanasi, where free medical care is given daily to people for whom a simple visit to the doctor's or to hospital is often impossible for economical reasons. Two Indian doctors, as well as both Indian and Western nurses work full time at the dipsensaries, while groups of volunteers are busy treating minor injuries on the ghats along the Ganges, in nearby streets and in slum areas in and around the city, every morning. When cases are more severe, patients are brought to one of the dispensaries and sometimes hospital.
Many children who don't go to school, and whose parents are too busy working to look after them, are always around looking for attention, as seen here on Harichandra Ghat, Varanasi, India. 2011
It's hard to know what to make of this curious wall art outside St Joseph RC Church in Nechells, Birmingham, England.
It has dedications to what I presume are deceased parishioners, with some strange additions such as the website address of a construction firm and what seems to be a wine goblet in a recess.
