No Enemy But Time - Michael Bishop [science fiction 01-06-2020 - 0859]
Author Michael Bishop has accomplished quite an extraordinary feat with this novel. He has taken one of most hoary of old SF themes - time travel - that, in my estimation, has been beaten to death by so many authors and written a thoughtful and engrossing story. His "scientific" rational outlaws tampering with the past or travel to the future - to paraphrase the author how can you go somewhere that's never been?
The protagonist is a young black child abandoned by his destitute Spanish prostitute mother and adopted by an American Military couple. The boy John Monegal is plagued and obsessed by powerful dreams of prehistoric Africa. The dreams continue in intensity and vividness into adolescence. Out of necessity he becomes an unprofessional expert on ancient anthropology through independent study and reading. With persistence and serendipity he confronts the resident "expert" on ancient Africa's human origins and confounds him with his apparent first person knowledge. Eventually the "expert" recruits Monegal and introduces him to a scientist who not only has dreams of his own but has created a well, a time machine.
The story of John Monegal, his family relationships and his recruitment into the Air Force as a test subject in the time machine is detailed in alternate chapters with his adventures and discoveries in ancient Africa. Both story lines and absorbing and keep the pages turning.
I cannot say enough about the narrative skill of this author. He has an uncanny way to make his characters and their predicaments absorbing. One of the most interesting science-fiction novels I have ever read.
As part of the celebration of the Clyde Tunnel's 50th anniversary, Glasgow Council was holding guided tours of the facility, including an illustrated talk, a visit to the ventilation room and the chance to play in the tunnel.
Jon Rankin, representing Glasgow Tradeston (and later on, Govan) in 1951, described as "absurd" that Glasgow was still reliant on ferries. The traffic levels at the time were 35000 people on foot and 3000 vehicles, every day. His estimation, however, that one day we might cross the Atlantic in supersonic aircraft in the same time as it took "to travel six miles along the river front and cross in the city centre" on Glasgow Bridge or King George V Bridge, next to Central Station, and back along the opposite side, was possibly a little wide of the mark. The distance then was just over seven miles, and Concorde flights were to be typically 3.5 hours; an average speed even then of two miles per hour was perhaps a little slow, although Rankin also cited the heavily congested streets of Glasgow at that time. He was championing "a completely new road system", of which the Whiteinch-Linthouse Tunnel was to be an integral part. Costs were put at £2.8 million.
In May 1960 the tunnel project was underway, and the first tunnel was expected to be complete by the summer of 1963 and the second tunnel a year after that. Costs by then were £3.8 million. By March 1962 questions were raised as to why the cost was nearly double the original estimate. John MacLay for Renfrewshire West excused himself, saying it "reflected the technical development, the difficulties encountered, and the costs of materials and labour."
In July 1965 Sir Myer Halpern representing Glasgow Shettleston raised the troubling news of decompression sickness in the ranks of "tough, physically perfect specimens of manhood, known as Tunnel Tigers", many of whom had no warning of the potential harm of working in enclosed environments with positive air pressure (to help prevent water coming in during digging). Some of the men even suffered bone necrosis in their shoulders and hips, and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board had not come to their aid. By 1994 however the legislation meant that they were free to pursue their claims at long, long last.
By December 1965, William Ross, then Secretary of State for Scotland, revealed that the total cost for the tunnels had been £10.1 million, although he admitted that even then this wasn't quite the final total.
The opening of the first and second tunnels merited no interest at all in Whitehall's official records, and by the 1970s Glasgow was far more worried about unemployment, labour relations, and its declining steelworks and ship building. The splendidly-named John Whyte-Melville Skeffington described the last one as being "in great disarray".

Roadtrip [7] 15/06/2017
On the planning today was a relocation from Aix-en-Provence to Auxerre via Lyon. A visit to Forcalquier was optional but that was already done the day before. A planning of 600 kilometers and a 6 hour drive.
I changed the plan by visiting the lavender fields instead at the the Plateau de Valensol. Great but time-consuming as well. Together with a traffic jam in Lyon and a problem finding a place for dinner in Mâcon I spent a lot of time in the car to get a bit more North.
I left Aix-en-Provence at 10h30. Spent some photo time in Valensole to capture lavender from 11h19 to 11h50. Garmin guided me back to Aix to get to Lyon because that seemed quicker with the result that at 12h30 I was still passing by Aix-en-Provence where I started the day.
Had McLunch in Orange from 13h29 till 14h35 (including a visit to Intermarché). From 16h32 till 17h10 I moved only 3 kilometers at the Tunnel de Fourvière in Lyon. Had some McDinner in Mâcon from 18h37 till 19h07 and from there I still had to drive 236 kilometers to the reserved hotel in Auxerre. All following the autoroute A6. Arrived in Auxerre at Hôtel des Deux Gares at 21h18 just before the hotel closed at night. In total 745.1 km driving instead of the planned 600 km. Highest temperature I experienced today was 36° C between Orange and Valance.
What a pleasure it was talking with both Keith and Ryan - both Gods by my estimation. And to Ryan - again, congrats on your win; as I've said, that's in my top 5 favorite MOCs of all time!
Found this guy under a ledge. When I spotted him he took off and I could not get a shot but he came back a minute later and I was able to shoot him. He was a little over 6 ft in my estimation.

From the Second survey diary
Onboard the R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen we are currently performing an ecosystem survey that will help to increase our understanding about the living resources of the continental shelf, species assemblages and their linkages with the environment. To do so, we are conducting different studies during these 14 days of survey including acoustic assessment of pelagic fisheries, stratified assessment of demersal fisheries, sea-bottom impact of bottom trawling, oceanographic measures, plankton biomass estimation and sampling, marine mammals, birds and turtle’s distribution and the exploration of the sea-mountain and canyons off Cape Lopez. All these activities will generate a great amount of data that will need to be processed and analyzed once at land.
During the survey onboard the R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, we will assess fisheries resources and we will collect benthos samples, both inside and outside the Marine Park with the intention of monitoring changes in the ecosystem between a recently closed fishing zone, previously exploited, and a contiguous currently trawled area. Results from this and following surveys will help us to understand how ecosystems recover after the closure of fishing activities and what effects can bring the creation of new Marine Parks on the marine biodiversity of West Africa. Preliminary results from trawl catches suggest bigger size and higher species diversity inside the park, than outside. One distinguished difference is that inside the park we got several big royal spiny lobsters (Panulirus regius).
So far we have conducted almost 50 bottom trawl stations. In many trawl hauls 20 to 40 different species have been identified. Most of these have been below 30 cm, but occasionally some big individuals have been caught. One African brown snapper (Lutjanus dentatus) was above 1 m long and weighted almost 20 kg. A Gorean snapper (Lutjanus goreensis) was close to 1 m long and 12 kg. One day we got a big Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) during the trawl, it seemed to be in good shape and after measuring we could release it again to the sea.

THE JIAYUGUAN FORTRESS: THE BEGINNING OR THE END OF THE GREAT WALL
Within the Gansu province of Northwestern China lies the Jiayuguan Fortress. It creates either the beginning or the end of the Great Wall (depending on which direction you started from). It was the last outpost before entering the Gobi Desert and the last outpost during the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644).
The fortress was built around the year 1372 and situated in between the legendary town of Kashgar to the west and Dunhuang to the east. It was a famous waypoint along the Silk Road and an obvious stop if you are traveling the historical route.
During the age of the Chinese Kingdom, the fortress protected the Western border with a fearless reputation. It is said that those exiled from the kingdom by the Emperor were ordered to head west into the vast Gobi desert and never return.
The Fortress is surrounded by an inner and outer wall. The inner wall is known as the “inner city” is where you will find some of the fort’s most significant buildings. These include the General’s Office and Wenchang Hall – a two-story pavilion in front of the inner city,
Legends dating back to the creation of the fort state that the master architect of the fort was such an amazing mathematician. He was so amazing in fact that he estimated the exact number of bricks required to be 99,999. Questioning his judgment, the Official had doubts regarding the estimation, so the designer added another brick. When Jiayuguan was finished … one brick remained. Today, this iconic brick is seen on top of the main entrance.
Jiayu Pass
Jiayu Pass or About this soundJiayuguan (help·info) (simplified Chinese: 嘉峪关; traditional Chinese: 嘉峪關; pinyin: Jiāyù Guān) is the first frontier fortress at the west end of the Ming dynasty Great Wall, near the city of Jiayuguan in Gansu province. Along with Juyong Pass and Shanhai Pass, it is one of the main passes of the Great Wall.
The pass is trapezoid-shaped with a perimeter of 733 metres (2,405 ft) and an area of more than 33,500 square metres (361,000 sq ft). The length of the city wall is 733 metres (2,405 ft) and the height is 11 metres (36 ft).
There are two gates: one on the east side of the pass and the other on the west side. On each gate there is a building. An inscription of "Jiayuguan" in Chinese is written on a tablet at the building at the west gate. The south and north sides of the pass are connected to the Great Wall. There is a turret on each corner of the pass. On the north side, inside the two gates, there are wide roads leading to the top of the pass.
Jiayuguan consisted of three defense lines: an inner city, an outer city, and a moat.
When famous traveler Mildred Cable first visited Jiayuguan in 1923, she described it as
To the north of the central arch was a turreted watch-tower, and from it the long line of the wall dipped into a valley, climbed a hill and vanished over its summit. Then a few poplar trees came in sight, and it was evident from the shade of green at the foot of the wall that here was grass and water. Farther on a patch of wild irises spread a carpet of blue by the roadside, just where the cart passed under an ornamental memorial arch and lurched across a rickety bridge over a bubbling stream.
Legend and history
The Great Wall near Jiayuguan
A fabulous legend recounts the meticulous planning involved in the construction of the pass. According to legend, when Jiayuguan was being planned, the official in charge asked the designer to estimate the exact number of bricks required and the designer gave him a number (99,999). The official questioned his judgment, asking him if that would be enough, so the designer added one brick. When Jiayuguan was finished, there was one brick left over, which was placed loose on one of the gates where it remains today.[2]
The structure was built during the early Ming dynasty, sometime around the year 1372. The fortress there was greatly strengthened due to fear of an invasion by Timur, but Timur died of old age while leading an army toward China.
Significance
Mural of a general from a door at the fort
Among the passes on the Great Wall, Jiayuguan is the most intact surviving ancient military building. The pass is also known by the name the "First and Greatest Pass Under Heaven" (天下第一雄关), which is not to be confused with the "First Pass Under Heaven" (天下第一关), a name for Shanhaiguan at the east end of the Great Wall near Qinhuangdao, Hebei.
The pass was a key waypoint of the ancient Silk Road.
Jiayuguan has a somewhat fearsome reputation because Chinese people who were banished were ordered to leave through Jiayuguan for the west, the vast majority never to return. Mildred Cable noted in her memoirs[4] that it was
known to men of a former generation as Kweimenkwan (Gate of the Demons)....The most important door was on the farther side of the fortress, and it might be called Traveller's Gate, though some spoke of it as the Gate of Sighs. It was a deep archway tunnelled in the thickness of the wall.... Every traveller toward the north-west passed through this gate, and it opened out on that great and always mysterious waste called the Desert of Gobi. The long archway was covered with writings...the work of men of scholarship, who had fallen on an hour of deep distress. Who were then the writers of this Anthology of Grief? Some were heavy-hearted exiles, others were disgraced officials, and some were criminals no longer tolerated within China's borders. Torn from all they loved on earth and banished with dishonoured nam to the dreary regions outside.
Amongst those once banished in disgrace was the famous Chinese Opium War Viceroy of Liangguang, Commissioner Lin Zexu, who died in Ürümqi where a statue in his honor can today be found in a local park.
The real stars of Jiayuguan are the thousands of tombs from the Wei and Western Jin Dynasty (265–420) discovered east of the city in recent years. The 700 excavated tombs are famous in China, and replicas or photographs of them can be seen in nearly every major Chinese museum. The bricks deserve their fame; they are both fascinating and charming, depicting such domestic scenes as preparing for a feast, roasting meat, picking mulberries, feeding chickens, and herding horses. Of the 18 tombs that have been excavated, only one is currently open to tourists. Many frescos have also been found around Jiayuguan but most are not open to visitors.

Leviticus 27:16
And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field
of a field of his possession, they thy estimation shall be
according to the seed thereof: an homer of
barley seed shall be valued at
50 shekels of silver.
Deuteronomy 8:8
A land of wheat, and barley, and vines,
and fig trees, and pomegranates;
a land of olive oil, and
honey.
Barley is considered by many to be the second most valuable grain, second only to wheat. In Old Testament times, as indicated in Leviticus, a “homer” was worth 50 shekels of silver. A “homer” was equated to an “ass load,” or how much a donkey could carry, which was just shy of 8 bushel. The value of a shekel is somewhat controversial, but most will agree that a shekel is worth 10 grams. Since an ounce is equal to 28 grams, 50 shekels would be 500 grams, which would be 18 oz. Today, an ounce of pure silver is worth approximately $36.00. So, barley seed in the time of Leviticus would be equal to $81.00 today (18 oz. X $36 = $648 divided by 8 bushel = $81 per bushel).
Barley is a tender grain and is often raised at a greater expense than wheat. It typically is harvested in both the spring and fall, with the best crop typically being sown in March or April. Historically it was grown in Israel, Turkey, Syria, Egypt and western China. Today top producers include Russia, Germany, Canada, France, Australia, the UK, Turkey, United States and Denmark.
Today, barley is very much a health food. It is a great weapon in the war against diabetes. As part of the daily diet, it scores well on the glycemic index (GI) and is also high in fiber and nutrients. Further, it is cholesterol-free, low in fat and contains antioxidants.

His name, Goriza. I do not know age because it is cat abandoned, but it is over 15 years of age estimation. Personality and gentle quiet, I take good care of Holmes calico cat. There is no teeth in old, I'm sleeping all the time. In the Tomei Expressway near Yokohama Aoba Inter, two cats are living happily in the cabin of the field.
Paul Jacksonesque Curve estimation with crimping. For parallel instructions go here.
In terms of degrees models of this type are 1° Parallel 2° Parallel, and the 2° pleats are crimp folds. Crimps are made of 2 creases, one crease of which (crease 1) is perpendicular to the 1° pleats. The other crease (crease 2) determines the angle of curvature. More specifically, the difference between the 2 creases determine the angle of curvature of the whole model. So I could make this same shape even if crease 1 weren't perpendicular to the 1° -- you can get the same curvature by offsetting the angle of crease 2 by the same amount as you offset crease 1 from perpendicular.
To get the undulating curvature here, half of the model has crease 2 x° to crease 1 and half has crease 2 -x° to crease 1.
Baroque church
In 1676, when the Brotherhood of the Most Holy Trinity was solemnly introduced to St. Peter's, it soon attained a high membership. A large part of the members were among the richest and most respected citizens of Vienna. The nobility was also represented to the highest tops. The Brotherhood therefore had the means to do so, and in 1700, it decided to demolish the old church and build a new building whose shape was to commemorate St. Peter's in Rome. One year earlier, in the plague year of 1679, Leopold I vowed to build a new building dedicated to the Holy Trinity in place of the dilapidated church. Builder Jankel was requested to make an estimation of the costs. He received 50 guilders for the building survey drawn by him.
According to the technical guide through Vienna (Ing. Martin Paul) the builders are indicated in the inscriptions in the dome knob: Francesco Martinelli, Franz Jänggl and Christian Oettl. However, the bibliographical references are widely differing. According to the manual of the German art monuments of Georg Dehio, the construction was started according to the plan of Gabriele Montani 1702, continued from this until 1703, then, probably completed by Johann Lukas Hildebrandt after modified plan 1708 in the shell and consecrated on October 25, 1708. 1708-1715 was followed by the interior fittings, 1713-1717 the dome space was completed in its current picturesque and sculptural design, but only 1730-1733 built the main choir. Cardinal Kollonitsch consecrated St. Peter's Church in 1733. The tomb of Wolfgang Lazius, who had been buried in the old Peterskirche in 1565, was transferred to the new St. Peter's church. The Petersfreithof (cemetery) still surrounded the church, it was only abandoned under Joseph II. In 1844, the façade was restored, and the many sales offices added to the church disappeared after the abolishemnt of the cemetery.
The history of St. Peter in Baroque period
When the old church was removed in 1701, it was decided to find the foundation stone of the first church, which contained "an old parable of Pope Leo III", the friend and contemporary of Charlemagne.
An old memorial book from the parish notes that the particle in 1749 still existed, but writes nothing about the nature of the same. The founders of the strange foundation stone claimed that it must have been laid in the year 800 and this conviction was maintained, so that afterwards the inscription of the cornerstone for the new church was written, which reads:
Petri prinzipis Apostolorum Petri Coeli Clavigeri Sacris honoribus a Carolo I. Caesare Magno anno post virginis partum DCCC extructe novis ex fundamentis DOM uni in Trinitate Deo et S. Petri honoriter augusta surrexit Lapidem in titulum cen age Jacob restauravit Leopoldus uterque Felix. "
The German translation is approximately as follows:
"This church, which stood over nine centuries, founded on holy honors on the solid rock of Apostle Prince Paul, the key bearer of heaven, by Charlemagne in the year 800, after the Virgin gave birth, has resurrected gloriously in honor of the almighty God who is united in Trinity and St. Peter, as second Jacob the cornerstone has laid Leopold the Great as well as the Happy. "
This laying of the cornerstone was solemnly performed by Emperor Leopold I on June 30, 1702 (according to Harrer, Czeike names April 22, 1702).
Already at the time of the start of construction an accident was recorded:
On the occasion of a solemn procession on October 29, 1702, in which the emperor also participated with his court, as a result of the overburden, the planks laid over the foundations collapsed and about 50 persons, mostly court cavaliers and page boys, plunged into the depths.
The completion of the church progressed very slowly. Even during construction, the wood of the dome was damaged, so this had to be replaced in 1722 by a dome cover, for which Emperor Charles VI as the supreme patron and member of the Brotherhood of the Holy Trinity, supplied the copper. For years, the facade was missing and the towers had no ending.
On May 17, 1733, the church was finally consecrated by the Cardinal Count Sigismund Kollonitsch.
Appearance
The outer image of St. Peter's is dominated by the 56-meter high, massive dome, which in its configuration reminds of the dome of St. Peter. It is a two-storey facade of stocky effect, whose slopingly placed towers flank the concave central part and which is surmounted by the dome of the central building. The building itself glorifies the reign of Emperor Leopold I, whose motto is emblazoned in the interior above the choir arch. The charming, pavilion-like portal porch made of gray marble was built according to a design by Andrea Altomonte only 1751-1753. Figurative decoration made of lead by Franz Kohl, a pupil and assistant of Georg Raphael Donner, decorates it. Right at the top are the statues Faith, Hope and Love, as well as angelic figures bearing tiaras and keys, the insignia of papal sovereignty. On the gable window at the front and the vases on the side reliefs: depictions from the life of Peter. The main portal shows rich carving and beautiful fittings; an inscription commemorates the imperial plague vow.
In the niches below the two slopingly placed towers that flank the front of the church are the following sandstone figures: St. Peter and St. Simon, St. John the Evangelist (according to Paul Harrer St. Paul) and Judas Thaddeus. At the back of the choir (outside wall of the church) are stone sculptures of St. Peter and St. Michael, executed by Lorenz Matitelli around 1730.
On the eastern side wall of the church, opposite the exit of the Goldschmied alley, a marble relief is embedded in the stone wall, depicting the legendary setting up of the cross at this place by Charlemagne. Created by Rudolf Weyr, it was unveiled in 1906.
Barockkirche
Als die Bruderschaft der heiligsten Dreifaltigkeit 1676 feierlich in die Peterskirche eingeführt wurde, erreichte sie bald einen hohen Mitgliederstand. Ein großer Teil der Mitglieder zählte zu den reichsten und angesehensten Bürgern von Wien. Auch der Adel war bis in die höchsten Spitzen vertreten. Die Bruderschaft verfügte daher über die entsprechenden Mittel und so fasste sie im Jahr 1700 den Entschluss, die alte Kirche niederzureißen und einen Neubau aufzuführen, dessen Form an die Peterskirche zu Rom erinnern sollte. Bereits ein Jahr zuvor, im Pestjahr 1679 gelobte Leopold I., anstelle der baufälligen Kirche einen der Heiligen Dreifaltigkeit gewidmeten Neubau zu errichten. Man ließ von Baumeister Jankel einen Kosten-Überschlag machen. Für den von ihm gezeichneten Bauriss erhielt er 50 Gulden.
Nach dem technischen Führer durch Wien (Ing. Martin Paul) werden die Erbauer in den Inschriften im Kuppelknauf angegeben: Francesco Martinelli, Franz Jänggl und Christian Oettl. Die Literaturangaben gehen jedoch hierüber weit auseinander. Nach dem Handbuch der deutschen Kunstdenkmäler von Georg Dehio wurde der Bau nach dem Plan von Gabriele Montani 1702 begonnen, von diesem bis 1703 weitergeführt, sodann, wahrscheinlich von Johann Lukas Hildebrandt nach verändertem Plan 1708 im Rohbau vollendet und am 25. Oktober 1708 geweiht. 1708-1715 folgte die Innenausstattung, 1713-1717 wurde der Kuppelraum in seiner gegenwärtigen malerischen und plastischen Ausgestaltung vollendet, jedoch erst 1730-1733 baute man den Hauptchor. 1733 weihte Kardinal Kollonitsch die Peterskirche. Das Grabmal des Wolfgang Lazius, der in der alten Peterskirche 1565 bestattet worden war, wurde in die neue Peterskirche übertragen. Nach wie vor umgab der Petersfreithof die Kirche; er wurde erst unter Joseph II. aufgelassen. 1844 restaurierte man die Fassade, wobei auch die vielen an die Kirche angebauten Verkaufsbuden verschwanden, die nach der Auflassung des Friedhofs entstanden waren.
Die Geschichte von St. Peter im Barock
Als man 1701 die alte Kirche abtrug, will man bei dieser Gelegenheit den Grundstein der ersten Kirche gefunden haben, der "eine alten Paritkel von Papst Leo III.“, dem Freunde und Zeitgenossen Karls des Großen, enthielt.
Ein altes Gedenkbuch aus der Pfarre bemerkt, dass der Partikel noch 1749 vorhanden war, schreibt aber nichts über die Art desselben. Die Auffinder des merkwürdigen Grundsteines behaupteten, dass er im Jahr 800 gelegt worden sein müsse und an dieser Überzeugung hielt man fest, sodass danach die Inschrift des Grundsteines für die neue Kirche verfasst wurde, welche lautet:
"Ecclesia quae IX ultra saecula steterat, fundata supra firmam Petram prinzipis Apostolorum Petri Coeli Clavigeri Sacris honoribus a Carolo I. Caesare Magno anno post virginis partum DCCC extructe novis ex fundamentis D.O.M- uni in Trinitate Deo et S. Petri honoriter augusta surrexit. Lapidem in titulum cen alter Jacob restauravit Leopoldus uterque Felix.“
Die deutsche Übersetzung ist etwa wie folgt:
"Diese Kirche, die über neun Jahrhunderte stand, gegründet zu heiligen Ehren auf dem festen Felsen des Apostelfürsten Paulus, des Schlüsselträgers des Himmels, von Karl dem Großen Kaiser im Jahr 800, nachdem die Jungfrau gebar, ist dem allmächtigen Gott, der einig ist in der Dreiheit und dem heiligen Petrus zu Ehren prachtvoll wiedererstanden. Als zweiter Jakob hat den Grundstein gelegt Leopold der ebenso Große als Glückliche."
Diese Grundsteinlegung geschah in feierlicher Weise durch Kaiser Leopold I. am 30. Juni 1702 (laut Harrer; Czeike benennt den 22. April 1702).
Schon zur Zeit des Baubeginnes war ein Unfall zu verzeichnen:
Anlässlich einer feierlichen Prozession am 29. Oktober 1702, an der auch der Kaiser mit seinem Hofstaat teilnahm, stürzte infolge der Überlastung die über die Fundamente gelegten Bretter ein und etwa 50 Personen, meistens Hofkavaliere und Pagen stürzten in die Tiefe.
Die Vollendung der Kirche ging sehr langsam voran. Noch während des Baues wurde das Holz der Kuppel schadhaft, sodass dieses 1722 durch eine Kuppeldeckung ersetzt werden musste, wozu Kaiser Karl VI. als oberster Schutzherr und Mitglied der Bruderschaft der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit das Kupfer lieferte. Jahrelang fehlte die Fassade und die Türme hatten keinen Abschluss.
Am 17. Mai 1733 konnte die Kirche endlich durch den Kardinal Graf Sigismund Kollonitsch geweiht werden.
Äußeres
Das äußere Bild das die Peterskirche darbietet, wird beherrschend bestimmt durch die 56 Meter hohe, gewaltige Kuppel, die in ihrer Konfiguration an die Kuppel von St. Peter erinnert. Es handelt sich um eine zweigeschossige Fassade von gedrungener Wirkung, deren schräggestellte Türme den konkav einschwingenden Mittelteil flankieren und der von der Kuppel des Zentralbaus überragt wird. Der Bau selbst verherrlicht die Regierung des Kaisers Leopold I., dessen Wahlspruch im Innen über dem Chorbogen prangt. Der reizvolle, pavillonartige Portalvorbau aus grauem Marmor wurde nach einem Entwurfe von Andrea Altomonte erst 1751 bis 1753 errichtet. Figürlicher Schmuck aus Blei von Franz Kohl, einem Schüler und Gehilfen von Georg Raphael Donner, ziert ihn. Zu Oberst die Statuen Glaube, Hoffnung und Liebe, sowie Engelfiguren, welche Tiara und Schlüssel, die Insignien der päpstlichen Souveränität, tragen. Am Giebelfenster an der Vorderseite und den Vasen an der Seite Reliefs: Darstellungen aus dem Leben Petri. Das Hauptportal zeigt reiches Schnitzwerk und schöne Beschläge; eine Inschrift erinnert an das kaiserliche Pestgelübde.
In den Nischen unterhalb der beiden schiefgestellten Türme, welche die Vorderseite der Kirche flankieren, stehen folgende Sandsteinfiguren: St. Petrus und St. Simon, Johannes Evangelist (laut Paul Harrer St. Paulus) und Judas Thaddäus. An der Rückseite des Chores (Außenwand der Kirche) befinden sich Steinplastiken vom heiligen Petrus und vom Heiligen Michael, die von Lorenz Matitelli um 1730 ausgeführt wurden.
An der östlichen Seitenwand des Gotteshauses, gegenüber dem Ausgang der Goldschmiedgasse ist in die Steinmauer ein Marmorrelief eingelassen, das die sagenhafte Kreuzerrichtung an dieser Stelle durch Karl den Großen vergegenwärtigt. Von Rudolf Weyr geschafften, wurde es 1906 enthüllt.

Of course it's smaller than than I thought since I have never seen one in person before. It's softer than I though also.
Baroque church
In 1676, when the Brotherhood of the Most Holy Trinity was solemnly introduced to St. Peter's, it soon attained a high membership. A large part of the members were among the richest and most respected citizens of Vienna. The nobility was also represented to the highest tops. The Brotherhood therefore had the means to do so, and in 1700, it decided to demolish the old church and build a new building whose shape was to commemorate St. Peter's in Rome. One year earlier, in the plague year of 1679, Leopold I vowed to build a new building dedicated to the Holy Trinity in place of the dilapidated church. Builder Jankel was requested to make an estimation of the costs. He received 50 guilders for the building survey drawn by him.
According to the technical guide through Vienna (Ing. Martin Paul) the builders are indicated in the inscriptions in the dome knob: Francesco Martinelli, Franz Jänggl and Christian Oettl. However, the bibliographical references are widely differing. According to the manual of the German art monuments of Georg Dehio, the construction was started according to the plan of Gabriele Montani 1702, continued from this until 1703, then, probably completed by Johann Lukas Hildebrandt after modified plan 1708 in the shell and consecrated on October 25, 1708. 1708-1715 was followed by the interior fittings, 1713-1717 the dome space was completed in its current picturesque and sculptural design, but only 1730-1733 built the main choir. Cardinal Kollonitsch consecrated St. Peter's Church in 1733. The tomb of Wolfgang Lazius, who had been buried in the old Peterskirche in 1565, was transferred to the new St. Peter's church. The Petersfreithof (cemetery) still surrounded the church, it was only abandoned under Joseph II. In 1844, the façade was restored, and the many sales offices added to the church disappeared after the abolishemnt of the cemetery.
The history of St. Peter in Baroque period
When the old church was removed in 1701, it was decided to find the foundation stone of the first church, which contained "an old parable of Pope Leo III", the friend and contemporary of Charlemagne.
An old memorial book from the parish notes that the particle in 1749 still existed, but writes nothing about the nature of the same. The founders of the strange foundation stone claimed that it must have been laid in the year 800 and this conviction was maintained, so that afterwards the inscription of the cornerstone for the new church was written, which reads:
Petri prinzipis Apostolorum Petri Coeli Clavigeri Sacris honoribus a Carolo I. Caesare Magno anno post virginis partum DCCC extructe novis ex fundamentis DOM uni in Trinitate Deo et S. Petri honoriter augusta surrexit Lapidem in titulum cen age Jacob restauravit Leopoldus uterque Felix. "
The German translation is approximately as follows:
"This church, which stood over nine centuries, founded on holy honors on the solid rock of Apostle Prince Paul, the key bearer of heaven, by Charlemagne in the year 800, after the Virgin gave birth, has resurrected gloriously in honor of the almighty God who is united in Trinity and St. Peter, as second Jacob the cornerstone has laid Leopold the Great as well as the Happy. "
This laying of the cornerstone was solemnly performed by Emperor Leopold I on June 30, 1702 (according to Harrer, Czeike names April 22, 1702).
Already at the time of the start of construction an accident was recorded:
On the occasion of a solemn procession on October 29, 1702, in which the emperor also participated with his court, as a result of the overburden, the planks laid over the foundations collapsed and about 50 persons, mostly court cavaliers and page boys, plunged into the depths.
The completion of the church progressed very slowly. Even during construction, the wood of the dome was damaged, so this had to be replaced in 1722 by a dome cover, for which Emperor Charles VI as the supreme patron and member of the Brotherhood of the Holy Trinity, supplied the copper. For years, the facade was missing and the towers had no ending.
On May 17, 1733, the church was finally consecrated by the Cardinal Count Sigismund Kollonitsch.
Appearance
The outer image of St. Peter's is dominated by the 56-meter high, massive dome, which in its configuration reminds of the dome of St. Peter. It is a two-storey facade of stocky effect, whose slopingly placed towers flank the concave central part and which is surmounted by the dome of the central building. The building itself glorifies the reign of Emperor Leopold I, whose motto is emblazoned in the interior above the choir arch. The charming, pavilion-like portal porch made of gray marble was built according to a design by Andrea Altomonte only 1751-1753. Figurative decoration made of lead by Franz Kohl, a pupil and assistant of Georg Raphael Donner, decorates it. Right at the top are the statues Faith, Hope and Love, as well as angelic figures bearing tiaras and keys, the insignia of papal sovereignty. On the gable window at the front and the vases on the side reliefs: depictions from the life of Peter. The main portal shows rich carving and beautiful fittings; an inscription commemorates the imperial plague vow.
In the niches below the two slopingly placed towers that flank the front of the church are the following sandstone figures: St. Peter and St. Simon, St. John the Evangelist (according to Paul Harrer St. Paul) and Judas Thaddeus. At the back of the choir (outside wall of the church) are stone sculptures of St. Peter and St. Michael, executed by Lorenz Matitelli around 1730.
On the eastern side wall of the church, opposite the exit of the Goldschmied alley, a marble relief is embedded in the stone wall, depicting the legendary setting up of the cross at this place by Charlemagne. Created by Rudolf Weyr, it was unveiled in 1906.
Barockkirche
Als die Bruderschaft der heiligsten Dreifaltigkeit 1676 feierlich in die Peterskirche eingeführt wurde, erreichte sie bald einen hohen Mitgliederstand. Ein großer Teil der Mitglieder zählte zu den reichsten und angesehensten Bürgern von Wien. Auch der Adel war bis in die höchsten Spitzen vertreten. Die Bruderschaft verfügte daher über die entsprechenden Mittel und so fasste sie im Jahr 1700 den Entschluss, die alte Kirche niederzureißen und einen Neubau aufzuführen, dessen Form an die Peterskirche zu Rom erinnern sollte. Bereits ein Jahr zuvor, im Pestjahr 1679 gelobte Leopold I., anstelle der baufälligen Kirche einen der Heiligen Dreifaltigkeit gewidmeten Neubau zu errichten. Man ließ von Baumeister Jankel einen Kosten-Überschlag machen. Für den von ihm gezeichneten Bauriss erhielt er 50 Gulden.
Nach dem technischen Führer durch Wien (Ing. Martin Paul) werden die Erbauer in den Inschriften im Kuppelknauf angegeben: Francesco Martinelli, Franz Jänggl und Christian Oettl. Die Literaturangaben gehen jedoch hierüber weit auseinander. Nach dem Handbuch der deutschen Kunstdenkmäler von Georg Dehio wurde der Bau nach dem Plan von Gabriele Montani 1702 begonnen, von diesem bis 1703 weitergeführt, sodann, wahrscheinlich von Johann Lukas Hildebrandt nach verändertem Plan 1708 im Rohbau vollendet und am 25. Oktober 1708 geweiht. 1708-1715 folgte die Innenausstattung, 1713-1717 wurde der Kuppelraum in seiner gegenwärtigen malerischen und plastischen Ausgestaltung vollendet, jedoch erst 1730-1733 baute man den Hauptchor. 1733 weihte Kardinal Kollonitsch die Peterskirche. Das Grabmal des Wolfgang Lazius, der in der alten Peterskirche 1565 bestattet worden war, wurde in die neue Peterskirche übertragen. Nach wie vor umgab der Petersfreithof die Kirche; er wurde erst unter Joseph II. aufgelassen. 1844 restaurierte man die Fassade, wobei auch die vielen an die Kirche angebauten Verkaufsbuden verschwanden, die nach der Auflassung des Friedhofs entstanden waren.

Michael Bublé: Sydney, Australia Loves You Like Crazy
I'd been waiting for this night for what must be almost a decade. Finally, my night...our Crazy Love night. Michael teased me this past Thursday at the presser conducted at the Overseas Passenger Terminal. I could tell then that his concerts in Australia were going to be very special, and tonight - the evening of Valentines Day, I can confirm that they are.
Even though Sydney's Acer Arena holds over 20,000, Michael's gift helps make the audience feel they are getting treated to an intimate experience. Well, he certainly set the scene and warmed me up beautifully for my intimate experience later into the night. On that vein however, I can tell you that his 'Crazy Love' CD does help set the mood.
By my estimation, the jazz sensation is certainly worth $149 plus. Like the greats, you have to experience a live concert to truly appreciate the musical genius.
The multi-talented performer is now close to two million album sales in Australia, with 25 million achieved on a global scale. Yes, us Aussies are raving fans. This tour was Michael's eighth trip to Australia, so the love affair is most definitely a two way street.
My personal favorite number is 'Haven't Met You Yet' which is already five times platinum in Australia.
His songs inspire love, warmth and affection, which was perfect timing for me, having rekindled my relationship with my special man.
Some of Michael's interpretations of other artists that really did it for me on this Valentines evening were Sway, Kissing A Fool, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?, and Heartache Tonight.
The warmth and love vibrated via Michael was experienced by young and old, and I witnessed a young fan who must have only been about 10 years old present Michael with a gift early into the concert performances, and he magically incorporated this into the show, making all of us feel that we received the present too.
He shared his thoughts on love with "My songs have always been about love. Mine and everyone else's. But this time it was a little more extreme, and I dug deeper - way deeper."
I had read earlier in the week that Michael said "I just love getting in front of people. It's so important to be in touch with your audience. They've paid their money, I want them to be entertained. If they want to cry or laugh or dance or sing or yell, they can do whatever they want. My responsibility is just to take them away." Oh yes, you took me away.
Michael, from my heart thank you for helping add some 'Crazy Love' intimacy to my partners and own evening and life. I would also like to publicly thank Buble's publicity team, Dainty Consolidated Entertainment and Live Guide, for helping make me one of the blessed and fortunate few photographers in Sydney to capture your gift close up. My love now has more focus, and its thanks to you. Let the passion, talent and performer bring out the performance in you, and if your single, that's ok too.

Lovecraft Illustrated Volume 8 published by PS Publishing Ltd does not disappoint. A little pricey but the Von Sholly illustrations are worth the price in my estimation. This is the fifth volume I have purchased in the illustrated series. Just to be clear these are not illustrated stories like a graphic novel but color (or as Lovercraft would write it colour) illustrations interspaced in the written story.
Two things come to mind upon this re-reading of the story - Lovecraft's knowledge and respect for science and the biblical reference to the story of Sodom in the book of Genesis. Lovecraft usually included a reasoned analysis of scientific scrutiny of the paranormal occurrences. After all it was a meteor that landed in the farmer's yard before subsequent events went very, very sideways. Mr. Price makes a compelling case that Lovecraft mirrored some of the events from the Sodom story in "The Colour out of Space'.

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- Parachute infantrymen assigned to U.S. Army Alaska's 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) 25th Infantry Division begin testing as candidates for the Expert Infantryman Badge on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Monday, April 22, 2013. The Expert Infantryman Badge was approved by the Secretary of War on October 7, 1943, and is currently awarded to U.S. Army personnel who hold infantry or special forces military occupational specialties.

This artistic provocation seeks to estimate the orders of magnitude of critical ecosystem services that are fundamental to all planetary life processes.
It is common to describe our relationships with society, the world, and the biosphere with metaphors from economics, which has specific understandings of value. Today’s prevailing economic conventions are unable to recognise the inherent value of the ecosystems on which all life depends. In cultures overdetermined by concepts from economics, we are left without adequate discursive instruments to address the importance of ecosystem contributions to life on Earth socially or politically.
This experiment consists of 1 square meter of wheat, cultivated in a closed environment. Critical inputs such as water, light, heat, and nutrients are measured, monitored and displayed for the public. This procedure makes the immense scale of ecosystem contributions palpable and provides a speculative reference for a reckoning of the undervalued and over-exploited “work of the biosphere.”
