I imagine that there will be very little of this sort of thing at Oxford University Press.
"The Church of St. Nicholas and St. Elizabeth in Cheb (more often referred to as St. Nicholas Church) is a Roman Catholic church of the Cheb parish, and at the same time the oldest existing church in Cheb. It is located on Kostelní náměstí, in the north-eastern corner of Náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrady, and thanks to its location on an elevated site, it forms a dominant feature of this part of the city. It was originally built as a three-nave Romanesque basilica, but burned down several times during its existence and was extensively rebuilt. The church has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958.
From the original Romanesque basilica, both towers, the western facade with the portal and the portal in the northern nave have been preserved. The temple is a late Gothic three-nave hall with four vaulted bays with cross vaults. The early Gothic and relatively narrow presbytery has a polygonal end and three fields of cross vaults. The wall paintings from the end of the 15th century were restored in the 19th century and restored to their original form during the general repair after 2008. The interior is Neo-Gothic from the end of the 19th century with the use of Baroque paintings and sculptures from the mid-18th century.
Cheb (German Eger, in the Sudeten German dialect of Cheb Egha; obsoletely also Heb) is a town in the district of the same name in the Karlovy Vary Region, 40 km southwest of Karlovy Vary and 5 km from the border with Germany on the Ohři River, from which it is derived from the German name of the city. The first historically preserved mention of Cheb, the central city of the entire former Chebsko, dates from 1061. Until the end of World War II, the majority of the population was German, and Cheb was an important part of the Sudetenland. After the end of the war, the German residents were displaced and the town became largely depopulated. Approximately 32 thousand inhabitants live here, which makes Cheb the second largest city in the region after Karlovy Vary. There are seven primary schools, two secondary schools, one practical school, two grammar schools and the Faculty of Economics of the University of West Bohemia in Cheb. The main industries here are engineering, textiles, metalworking, construction, woodworking and food. The neighboring municipalities of the seat are Okrouhlá, Třebeň, Pomezí nad Ohří, Nebanice, Tuřany, Odrava, Lipová, Libá, Františkovy Lázně, Waldsassen and Schirnding.
Bohemia (Latin Bohemia, German Böhmen, Polish Czechy) is a region in the west of the Czech Republic. Previously, as a kingdom, they were the center of the Czech Crown. The root of the word Czech probably corresponds to the meaning of man. The Latin equivalent of Bohemia, originally Boiohaemum (literally "land of Battles"), which over time also influenced the names in other languages, is derived from the Celtic tribe of the Boios, who lived in this area from the 4th to the 1st century BC Bohemia on it borders Germany in the west, Austria in the south, Moravia in the east and Poland in the north. Geographically, they are bounded from the north, west and south by a chain of mountains, the highest of which are the Krkonoše Mountains, in which the highest mountain of Bohemia, Sněžka, is also located. The most important rivers are the Elbe and the Vltava, with the fertile Polabean Plain extending around the Elbe. The capital and largest city of Bohemia is Prague, other important cities include, for example, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Kladno, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and České Budějovice, Jihlava also lies partly on the historical territory of Bohemia." - info from Wikipedia.

i wasn't going to upload this because it's crappy, but it's way too personal and it took me way too long to edit not to upload. also this is my first self-portrait on here. i don't believe in ghosts, or reincarnations, or god, but i do believe that as long as you think what who they were, or who they could have been regularly, they still have an existence, in your mind, and that's something.

The term Broken Hill was first used by the early British Explorer Charles Sturt in his diaries during his search for an inland sea in 1844. Western plains towns far away from the major rivers, such as Broken Hill, owe their existence to the mineral discoveries made in the decade after 1875, when spectacular deposits of gold, silver, copper, and opal were found. The township of Broken Hill was developed in the "Broken Hill Paddock" which was part of Mount Gipps Station where George McCulloch, the station manager employed many men. It was in 1883 that three of his workers pegged the first mineral lease on his property: they were Charles Rasp, David James and James Poole. The Syndicate of Seven was formed, and consisted of: George McCulloch, Charles Rasp, David James, James Poole, George Urquhart, and George Lind. These men pegged out the remaining six mineral leases which are now known as the Line of Lode. It was the seventh member of the Syndicate, Philip Charley, who found the first amount of silver in 1885. A township was soon surveyed and Broken Hill was initially known as a shanty town with an entire suburb named 'Canvas Town' for its temporary buildings.
The first survey of Broken Hill was made by Mr. E.H. Dawson, and started on the 27th of August 1884. It was in the year 1885 that the town of Broken Hill began to develop. Previous to that date, it was nothing but mulga scrub, with two or three tents or humpies. The first house was built on Block 14 for Mr. Wm. Jamieson, the manager of the Broken Hill Mining Co. Then came Delamore's Hotel, which was pulled down out Lake's Camp way, carted into Broken Hill, and re-erected by Mr. A.F. Pincombe, one of the old pioneers who was well known on the Hill. In quick succession followed Sully's old store, the Silver King Hotel, and Brazill and Jones' store, then came J.R. Stewart, baker, Neilson & Co., butchers;, Langemen's Billiard Saloon, Vaughan's Hotel, Ledgard's, Lee's and Finn's, & Co. Argent Street began to assume a busy aspect.'
The town boundaries of the 'Town of Willyama' were proclaimed on the 24th of August 1887. The Municipal District of Broken Hill was constituted by a Proclamation dated 24th September 1888 to include 'the Towns of Willyama and Alma and other lands.' The Proclamation, gazetted on the 24th of July 1907, 'hereby constitute as a City the said Municipality of Broken Hill.'
This small and remnant chimney marks the commencement of Australia's most ambitious and successful mining industrial enterprise. Broken Hill Proprietary, the 'Big Australian' started on this site in 1885.
With a mining boom taking place at Silverton, Thackaringa, and other locations in the area, Charles Rasp, a boundary rider from Mount Gipps Station, saw the potential for a tin mine on the rock outcrop located near the southern boundary of the Station. With David James and James Poole, dam sinking contractors, on the 5th of September 1883 he pegged out mineral lease 12 in the centre of the outcrop. On returning to Mount Gipps Station, Rasp advised the station manager, Geroge McCulloch, of the lease and McCulloch proposed a syndicate of 7 members to undertake works. The syndicate pegged out and registered six further leases - blocks 10 - 16.
The 7 original shares were divided to create 14 equal shares and after selling and buying of some shares the syndicate comprised four of the original seven; George McCulloch, Charles Rasp (boundary rider); David James and James Poole (dam sinking contractors) and Phillip Charley (station hand), with new shareholders: Kenric Bobribb; Bowes Kelly; W.R. Wilson; William Jamieson; James Daglish; Samuel Hawkins; Solomon Wiseman; W.C. Palmer; and A.W. Cox.
The first shaft, named after Rasp, was sunk in October 1884. Charles Rasp in a quote in the Argus newspaper from the 19th of August 1905 looking back to the commencement of mining reflected:
""
Early in 1885 Phillip Charley discovered a high yield of silver chloride in the ore extracted from the shaft that tested at 1000's of ounces to the ton. The first large scale smelting that took place shortly after produced 35,600 ounces ofsilver from 48 tons of ore. With renewed confidence the Broken Hill Mining Company was formed on the 25th of April 1885 operating over the seven leases with William Jamieson, a syndicate member and mine surveyor, as manager. Joined by workmen Alf Orman and Tom Phin, Jamieson established a camp on this site in May of that year when this chimney and a hut were built. In June of that year the company registered as Broken Hill Proprietary (BHP) and continued to mine the 7 leases until 1939.
Mining activity on the leases increased rapidly from 1885 transforming the remote outcrop to become the most lucrative mine in the world. The 7 original shares of 70 pounds each, after their division into 14 shares, were valued at 1, 250, 000 pounds by 1890. The company continued to grow rapidly, the Broken Hill mines producing over 100 billion dollars of income during BHP's 54 year ownership.
BHP quickly expanded beyond Broken Hill first, by building and operating its own smelters at Port Pirie, South Australia (1890) and then aquiring iron mining leases at Iron Knob (by 1900) that resulted in the start of the Australian steel industry. As the extraction of tin, silver, and zinc reached its peak in the early decades of the twentieth century, BHP focused on iron and steel establishing their first major steelworks in 1915 at Newcastle. They further diversified into ship building and coal mining and shortly before leaving Broken Hill in 1939 consolidated their steel works by acquiring Australian Iron and Steel at Port Kembla making BHP the largest steel producer in the British Empire.
BHP merged with Billiton Pic in 2001 to beocme the largest mining company in the world. BHP has been the backbone of Australian mining and steel production for almost 150 years.

The Chimney
The original syndicate of seven which held the seven mining leases (Blocks 10-16) on the broken hill named their venture the Broken Hill Mining Company. Following the discovery of rich silver ores in early 1885, the syndicate appointed William Jamieson as manager in April 1885 and registered the name Broken Hill Proprietary Co. Ltd, in June 1885. The BHP chimney marks the site of the hut built by Tim Phin and W.B. Orman for the company in May 1885 to house Jamieson. It was located amongst the busy mining area at the Line of Lode, the rocky outcrop which contained the ore body and was used for a short time as the BHP works office where all mining business was conducted. Although Jamieson resigned at the end of the year, during that period at this site he undertook planning of the original development work at the mine including the erection of the first smelters. The BHP Chimney is the only remaining remnant of the hut which dates from the year that mining activities began in Broken Hill and when it began its development as a remote inland town.
No photographs have been located of the hut which housed the original BHP offices.
By 1888, wooden staff houses and a handsome stone office were erected about 500 metres to the northwest. The site was now part of the Block 14 Mine. By the 1890s, all BHP staff housing was provided at proprietary Square.
In 1908 the BHP Chimney was already a ruin but described as 'One of the most historical spots on the Hill. Beside this stack in a large tent there lived in the early days Mr. Wm. Jamieson and his assistant A. Reid, W.R. Thomas, Alf Orman, two or three axemen, cook. It was in this tent the destinies of Broken Hill were laid, it was here that all business with the mine was transacted, and here in this tent Mr. Thomas drew the plans of Block 14, British, Block 10. The Company has lately placed a railing round the old spot, in order that it may be preserved.' (Curtis, 1908) By this time BHP had erected a wooden railing around the chimney so that it might be preserved.
BHP ceased operations at Broken Hill in 1939. In 2001, BHP became part of BHP Billiton, the world's largest resources company.
The BHP Chimney thus represents the birthplace of BHP, a company which helped shape Australia's mining and industrial landscape.
The BHP Chimney is located on Crown land reserved for Temporary Common (Reserve 2421 Notified 4 September 1886), known locally as the Willyama Common, which is administered by Broken Hill City Council as the trust manager for the Willyama Common Trust. Consolidated Mining Lease no.7, held by CBH Resources Pty Ltd, includes the site but there are no plans to conduct surface mining in this area.
The top section of the chimney has been rebuilt at some time since 1907 and the structure modestly covered with a tin roof on four wooden columns. Under the supervision of Broken Hill City Council's heritage advisor in 2008, the chimney was repointed and interpretation signage added to the site.

Kaizen Project 38 – A Rare Find
PRESS RELEASE
Over one hundred years since the existence of Fairies was thought to have been proved and then disproved once and for all, an image has emerged that has set the international news media afire.
An astonishing statement from the Department of the Environment states that three Fairies have been captured and handed over to Research Scientists at an undisclosed Laboratory in London, UK for scientific study.
We contacted the Fairy Investigation Society (FIS) but they say they have received no information about the Fairies and are most disappointed to have received no communication on this matter. Being the foremost authority on Fairy life in the UK, they add, they would have expected to have been consulted on any planned capture and suitable ways to accommodate Fairies in the unlikely event of any Fairies being found. As it is, the Society members, whilst feeling somewhat excited, remain extremely concerned that the best interests of the Fairies will not be Scientists’ first priority.
The care and control of the Fairies lies in the hands of Queenie Craufurd, pictured, who says she has been interested in Fairies since childhood when she herself recorded having met and played with Fairies. Sadly, as a young child, she failed then to obtain photographic evidence of her claims. Queenie says that early experience drove her to become a research scientist and she has always been optimistic about one day proving their existence to the world. It is a dream come true that she is now able to be doing so.
We understand the Fairies will be kept in controlled conditions and all manner of tests will be conducted. These will include blood tests, hair sampling and DNA testing, speech, language and comprehension studies, as well as conducting test flights within a secure facility.
There will be no more statements from the Laboratory until testing is complete. It is then anticipated that the Fairies will go on display in Museums around the world, completing a tour of all interested countries over a five year period.
The life span of a Fairy is unknown at present, but should any Fairy not survive this experience – the first of any kind with humans – there will of course be the opportunity for Post Mortem and precise study of the anatomy of the Fairy, which will greatly enhance our knowledge and understanding of the largely unseen and unknown Fairy World..
Protests are expected across the UK and beyond as concern for the Fairies mounts. Details of experiments and studies to be conducted are only expected to increase the anger of the general public and UK Police are cancelling all leave in order to be able to adequately manage the large numbers of people expected on the streets in the coming days.
The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, says, “I have always known Fairies exist and I am hugely excited at the prospect of the UK’s best minds being able to study these Fairies up close and personal. I shall be visiting the secure facility where they are being held on Monday to meet our visitors. I have no doubts at all that these Fairies will appreciate their time with our top Scientists and their opinion of us will be much enhanced by this ‘First Contact’.
Obviously, this is a great coup for the UK to be the first country ever to capture Fairies and secure them for research. We hope to learn much from them, and this knowledge will have far-reaching implications across many spheres, ranging from scientific research to tourism.”
Whilst this image is likely to cause immense concern amongst many people, the scientific community has reacted with positivity and determination. It will, they say, be no mean feat to commence communication with the fairies, who have not yet been observed to speak a word of English, or any other known language. However, they state they will proceed with the utmost consideration for the Fairies’ wellbeing and balancing that with the need to gain as much information as possible from these previously unseen creatures.
If and when any further images or information are released, we will, of course, publish an immediate update to this story. In the meantime, the world waits with bated breath.
I started thinking about a theme for this month’s project and the idea of the Cottingley Fairies popped into my head. I even started a piece with a lady holding a fairy. But then I thought about bringing it up to date. I thought about how different it would be nowadays if Fairies were seen by children, in their garden and made the mistake of telling their parents or other adults. Imagine if Fairies were captured! How would they be treated? As important ambassadors from another unknown world? Or specimens to be studied at any cost? This piece illustrates what I believe most likely!

Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Records from 1209 indicate the existence of St. Peter's Church (Svētā Pētera baznīca) in some form. The middle section was built during the 13th century. The church was mostly rebuilt and expanded in a Gothic style in the 15th century. The sanctuary was completed in 1473 and the tower in 1491. The collapse of the tower in 1666 ushered in a new phase of construction: between 1691 and 1690, some Baroque additions were made, such as the new tower and the western façade. The church was severely damaged in 1941; restoration lasted until 1991.

A relook at the passed images.
We tend to see more of an image, not in the instance we depressed that shutter, but persistent meditation on the meaning of life, of existence and being. Inherent in the image is the message of birth, being and death. When meditating on the image, the meaning of an image reveals itself, in slow certainty, not in a flash, but it could come in a flash, a leap from normalcy, across the gap of invisible terrain.
Nights are always quiet, silence; days are a whole loaf of materialistic demands and bodily desires, that is the lure of the urban live. The night clears away those disturbances; we gain focus when darkness obliterated sight, reducing all existence to its essential. Only commanding a calm sense of ignorance, through sheer responsibility to the quest, silence could be found in daylight, with selfishness and irresponsibility required to overcome that momentous monster, social culture, a ‘they’ invisibly cajoling conformity, a slew of slogans of accepted goodness. Morality is borne from them, a form of coercion, to conform, to become, for the good of predictability and governance. Would we need morality when living in solitude and remoteness? Do we need morality when you are you. Or I am me. Would you think there is a need for morality in the social being of the ants and bees? Would you think that morality exists, or it is a mortal invention? And why all mortals think there is one, morality, and is it truth? What is creativity? Create, implies, new, leaping from the here and now to another landscape, non-conforming, difference, other than. And when creativity and morality collided, an immense nebular came into being, and when the nebular subsided, you rejoiced, like the nebular it too would subside.
With such monstrosity, with colorized lenses we could derive meaning and insight from behind each image we had taken. Exert values such as ‘to kill is to sin’ and we well up emotion of pity and a sense of injustice, from our righteous souls. ‘Wasp nibbling in mid-flight’ stirred the ocean of morality, jolted you. Imagine you were the spider. In that silence, death gripped you, you are as helpless as the spider, when face with the superior wasp, face with nature, face with fate, torn and tattered to the core, utterly helpless, if you are as omnipotent as god, you could right the wrong, but you, human, powerless, painful, is trapped, trapped within a body and an illusive heart. You need liberation. You need a way out of this unfairness. Why? Why some are borne to die a tragic death? All are borne to die. Why the privilege of one over the other? You see the pain and the painless. What if your death gives life and meaning to other souls? Indeed, a good deed in death, over a painless unworthy death, is preferred. Yet, it is still death. Death has to be worthy. Death has to be worthy. Death has to be worthy. It screamed in silence and determination. Death has to be worthy; life has to be worth living too. We latched on to its last defence, some are willing to die a worthy death, unwilling to believe otherwise, some see the futility of life, others see the futility of death, facing it squarely as the moment of returning to the source. All those thought are indeed a form of burden, death cannot be proven of its worthiness, all livings however they think and thought have to cease living at one moment or another when it come. Yes, nature’s fairness, the being of beings.
Calm down, take deep breath, long and slow.
Remove the veil of morality, remove questions, and return to the surface of the image. Draw towards the wasp, trace the wasp, from the eyes, amazing red, glittering, energy, radiant, vitality, the mouth, the thorax, the flapping wings, in unison, the legs, the constricted waist, the abdomen, the curve, the pointedness, the texture, the pattern, colour, the minuscule hairs. Complete beauty!!! Such wondrous miniature contains life, being and death. It is so small and yet so complete. Complete! Life in this being is.
The flapping of the wings in unison with the pull of the beaks, tearing the Cyclosa’s remaining cephalothorax away from its head, the Cyclosa in its death had offered itself up as nutrients to the wasp and its offspring. The cyclosa becomes the giver of live and sustenance so the wasp could live.
Facing death. a mangled piece, a head, an eye pops, the placid legs, red, torn, see it, go through every nuance of it. Fear and the urge to escape gripped us. Fix on it and see it as you would see the beauty of the wasp. In death we find liberation. Unite both within a single instance. Life, being and death. The being of the wasp is to feast on the spider. A completion, closure, calm and peaceful. Nature is. Is wonderful. Here we see a completion of nature’s work, again, in repetition -¬ birth, being and death.
Why is death liberating? Imagine you are the spider. Imagine that dying moment, as death grips you, it erases all that you had done, it erases your worthiness, it erases you. Fear, extreme fear, penetrates you deep, deep into your soul, and erases your soul, erases your being, to the point of total erasure. You scream. Scream out your soul. See it vanished. Your denial is futile. You feel that cold sweat and coldness shrivel up the spine.
In death, nothing else matter, desires, debt, hatred, anger, anxiety, joy, love and all emotions; all vanished. One is forgiven and one forgives. So imagine you are the spider, in that instance, liberated, one gave its life to another being, there is no foe, enemy, nor love, pure being, freeze in that moment, a singular moment. All is a pristine whiteness. Lost grips you, shaken, and arrive at a sense of immense liberation.
From that barren whiteness, a wasteland, life start a new, death nourishes beings and gives birth to another, more live flourish, another time, another day, another month, another year, in recurrence, in eternity. One sees its persistence and our futility of denial. It is an impossibility to phantom death, but we could phantom that death liberates. Life is a form of energy, transforming from one form into another.
The Cyclosa’s death, had also liberated those that could had been captured by the web that was spun by the Cyclosa. Now those smaller animals were given a chance to survive and mature; they have the wasp to thank. As one lay down their power, whether destructive or creative, it allows others to flourish and mature. Those that had risen would have to fall some days, the sage cautions, in high places, serve with humility and in low places, serve with pride. Did not Christ proclaimed he was your servant?

One of these, probably on loan to Tynemouth, is seen arriving in Northumberland Square, North Shields. Going the other way is a 1957 Leyland PD2 Willowbrook. There was a batch of ten of these PD2's, one of the first manifestations, of a change in engineering policy from Guy to Leyland within the Northern General Group, following the retirement of Major Hayter, the erstwhile general manager. It was said that if you knew where to look all these Willowbrook bodies were different. But they all looked the same to me.
Other automotive goodies on site are a mid fifties Morris Oxford or Cowley, a similar vintage Bedford CA van and a Mk 2 Ford Consul.
The most tragic and disgraceful incident in modern Korean history took place in Gwangju in May 1980. During The Uprising many citizens of Gwangju were killed by soldiers. It started with the December 12, 1979 coup by Chun Doo-Hwan's military junta who occupied the Chonnam Provincial Hall with armed forces sent to Gwangju by The Martial Law Enforcement Headquarters. After the assassination of President Park Chung-hee, a group of politically minded soldiers undertook Operation Chungjung (Operation True Heart) to quell The Uprising in Gwangju. In this way, the Fifth Republic came into existence. The victims of The martial law force's brutality numbered 4,369 all told: 154 killed, 74 missing, 4,141 wounded (including those who died from their wounds) and placed under arrest. This data is based on the present condition of compensation related to The May 18 Uprising, as of November 31, 2006. Among the 7,173 requested cases, 5,060 were admitted. The number of people illegally taken into custody during the period of Martial law was more than 3,000, and nobody knows how many people were unjustly arrested while they were demonstrating against Martial Law.
Recent history has proven that The Gwangju Democratic Uprising was a victory, not a defeat, and that the people who lost their lives in Gwangju did not give their lives in vain. Now they are our heroes. Although the Gwangju Democratic Uprising seemed to end in failure, that failure became an inspiration for The Democratic Consciousness that fueled opposition to the dictatorship of the 1980s. However, it was only after many twists and turns that The Gwangju Democratic Uprising was properly defined as a people's resistance, and not a riot.At the time, Government authorities referred to the uprising as the 'Gwangju Affair', a riot or rebellion backed by some seditious powerscheming to overthrow the government. In June 1987, however, people throughout the country slowly started to recognize the true nature of The Gwangju Uprising of May, 1980. In June 1988, with the advent of the Sixth Republic, The Uprising was renamed the Gwangju Democratization Movement in order to restore national harmony.
Additionally, in the 13th National Assembly, the change in the balance of political power made it possible to hold a hearing concerning The Gwangju Uprising. This hearing was televised all over the country, and it played an important role in spreading the truth of what had happened in Gwangju. It brought to light how brutally martial law forces had treated the citizens for those ten days in May. In 1993 on May 13th, with the start of a civilian government, President Kim Young-Sam made clear his position on The Gwangju Democratic Uprising in a speech: The bloodshed of Gwangju in May, 1980 is the cornerstone of this Country's Democracy. Its victims dedicated their lives to democracy. He continued by indicating the shift in perception that had taken place: this government today stands in line with the Gwangju Democratization Movement. In this announcement, he redeemed The Gwangju Democratic Uprising. Again, thanks to a drive to set history to rights, after that speech on May 13, the 5.18 Special Law was enacted. It is rated as a great contribution in bringing the military junta, who had cruelly trampled upon Gwangju, to trial, upholding law, justice, and history and in healing the wounds that the nation had suffered in the past.
Contrary to this new perspective, however, the Supreme Court then ruled that The Gwangju Uprising was a peoples' rebellion and declared the people who took part in The Uprising to be a mob. So The Gwangju Democratic Uprising will remain a rebellion and the participants a mob, until there is a reversal of the ruling through retrial. The full truth of The Gwangju Democratic Uprising has yet to be disclosed. After the extension of martial law on May 17, 1980, several questions remain: (1) why were The Martial Law forces sent to Gwangju reinforced; (2) who acted as the leader of the army; and (3) who gave orders for the army to fire? We still do not know. Equally, we are still unsure about what role the United States military and government played in the decision process, and how many innocent citizens were killed. Even though most military officers have been strictly judged by law and history, the truth is, that even now we are as much in the dark as ever. It is therefore our duty to set the matter straight.
전노재판
In order to correctly establish the historical meaning of The Gwangju Democratic Uprising, we should evaluate its character.
Opinions can be roughly summed up as follows:
1.The Gwangju Democratic Uprising offered important inspiration to the traditional spirit of Democratic Uprisings in Korea. The Gwangju people, in the last analysis, rose against a military government which had originally appeared on the scene through a military coup defeat on May 16, 1961. That coup denied the spirit of the April 19th Democratic Revolution of 1960 and established an oppressive system of government.
2.The Gwangju Democratic Uprising shows that people are able to be a dynamic power in national histories. During the 1980s, thanks to The Gwangju Democratic Uprising, people from all quarters of life, laborers, farmers, students, the poor, the religious, artists, intellectuals and dissidents, came to be profoundly conscious of their power in The Democratic Movement. The Spirit of Uprising gave rise to the development of a national Democratic Movement.
3.The Gwangju Democratic Uprising demonstrated that armed resistance against an unjust government is a human right, and that the justice of such resistance could be officially sanctioned. The Gwangju Democratic Uprising which had been denounced by the authorities as a rebellion of armed rioters has been renamed by the Government, 'The Gwangju Democratic Movement'. The people's rights, which not even The Peasant Uprising in 1894, The Donghak Revolution, nor the conflict of arms with Japan had not yet officially established, was properly recognized through The Gwangju Democratic Uprising.
4.The Gwangju Democratic Uprising led to a rejection of the Chun Doo-hwan regime's claims of legitimacy and morality. In the end, The Uprising played a decisive part in overthrowing the regime which had continued the oppressive policies of President Park Chung-Hee's Yushin (Renovation) System. Chun's regime tried to make use of every loophole possible, and it grossly abused its authority, but finally, it collapsed under the waves of resistance which broke out a new every May in Gwangju in the years following The Uprising. From this point of view, The Gwangju Democratic Uprising played a decisive role in motivating the national democratic movement. Furthermore, it established a new political precedent for the people by overthrowing Chun's Fifth Republic through the people's general agreement.
The Gwangju Democratic Uprising should not be considered a painful, frustrated chapter of an age, but should be placed in the modern history of this country as the starting point of Democratization. It should go down in Korea's national history and national consciousness as an inspiring stand for human freedom and dignity.
The Bell AH-1 Cobra (also called HueyCobra) owes its existence to the Vietnam War. While the proof of the air cavalry concept was being proven every day, the US Army was also losing huge amounts of helicopters to ground fire. Equipping the troop-carrying “slicks” with door guns helped, and arming the UH-1 Iroquois/Huey with weapons was another interim solution. Clearly, however, the solution lay with a dedicated attack helicopter that could defend the troop carriers.
Bell, the manufacturer of the UH-1, had been also experimenting with a concept of a heavily armed, turreted, and thin fuselage helicopter. The US Army awarded a proof-of-concept contract to Bell, which replied in a heavily modified Model 47 called the Sioux Scout. It failed to win any orders, but Bell kept at it even as the Army pursued the far more complicated and expensive AH-56 Cheyenne. This resulted in the Model 209, based on components of the UH-1 and the original conceptual design.
With the Vietnam War intensifying and the Cheyenne going nowhere, the Army issued a requirement for an interim solution, which the Model 209—built and tested in only eight months—won easily. The Army ordered 110 AH-1Gs in April 1966 and the type was in action in Vietnam a year later. It was highly successful there, and successive marks of the Cobra would continue to fight in America’s wars since—Grenada and both Gulf Wars. US Army Cobras were upgraded continually in the 1980s, resulting in a dizzying number of variants: the AH-1S (with upgraded engine), AH-1P (with flat glass windscreen), AH-1Q (with TOW missile system), AH-1E (with 20mm gatling cannon in nose turret), and AH-1F (with laser rangefinder and countermeasures). In 1988, the Army finally gave up and redesignated the whole lot as AH-1S.
US Army Cobras were finally retired in 2001, but USMC Cobras remain in service, with the fleet being converted to AH-1Z Kingcobras. Israel, Iran, and Pakistan likewise have used and continue to use their Cobra fleet, and it is generally considered to be the most successful and prototypical attack helicopter.
AH-1F 69-16416 was built as an AH-1G and delivered to the US Army in 1970. Details are sparse as to which units this helicopter belonged to, but it apparently saw combat during both Vietnam (probably during the 1972 Easter Offensive) and the First Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm), which would make it a rarity for Cobras, as the US Army had replaced most of their AH-1s with AH-64 Apaches by 1991. Between its wartime service, it was upgraded to an AH-1F. Because of the last two numbers of its serial number, and the fact that it had never been hit over the course of two wars, 69-16416 was nicknamed "Sweet Sixteen" by its last crew. It was retired in the 1990s and donated to the March Air Museum.
"Sweet Sixteen" is displayed at March's Vietnam Firebase exhibit, wearing the overall olive drab colors Cobras carried during their entire career with the Army.
Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Spuds and tugs. Both give me pleasure. What a sad existence I lead !
60049 is slowly drawing forward past the trailing crossover at Rectory Junction waiting for the shunter to tell him (via a radio) to stop.
The train is seen on Radcliffe viaduct which is constructed as a viaduct and not an embankment as it acts as flood arches for the River Trent. 60049 and it's 24 TEA's will very shortly squeal and grind to a halt, the signaller will reverse the points into the oil terminal and clear the dolly all out of sight of the loco driver, a radio instruction from the shunter to the driver will see a plume of smoke and a raising of revs and decibels as the loco propels it's hefty consist back into the Total Oil depot.

Sciacca (Greek: Θέρμαι; Latin: Thermae Selinuntinae, Thermae Selinuntiae, Thermae, Aquae Labrodes and Aquae Labodes), is a town and comune in the province of Agrigento on the southwestern coast of Sicily. It has noteworthy views of the Mediterranean Sea.Thermae was founded in the 5th century B.C. by the Greeks, as its name imports, as a thermal spa for Selinunte, whose citizens came there to bathe in the sulphurous springs of Mount San Calogero, which rises up behind the town. We have no account of the existence of a town on the site during the period of the independence of Selinunte, though there is little doubt that the thermal waters would always have attracted some population to the spot. Nor even under the Romans did the place attain to anything like the same importance with the northern Thermae; and there is little doubt that Pliny is mistaken in assigning the rank of a colonia to the southern instead of the northern town of the name. Strabo mentions the waters (τὰ ὕδατα τὰ Σελινούντια; and they are again noticed in the Itineraries under the name of Aquae Labodes or Labrodes.The origins of the town's name have been much debated, with latin "ex acqua",as a reference to the springs of thermal water of the area, or arabic "Syac",meaning bath, and al Saqquah, dating back to the cult of the Syrian god "Shai al Quaaum", as possibilities.
The city walls, the bastions and the Old Castle owe their existence to Roger the Great Count.A royal city which had remained faithful to Manfred of Sicily during the Angevine invasion, by 1268 A.D. it was besieged by Charles I of Anjou and surrendered the following year. After the Sicilian Vespers, it established itself as a free commune. During the Aragonese-Angevine wars it was besieged numerous times, after which the Peralta family took possession of it and obtained by the king of Sicily the right to mint coins. In the following centuries the town was at the center of bloody feuds between rival baronial families (the Luna, of Aragonese origin, and the Perollo, of Norman stock), which nearly halved its population. In 1647 the impoverished town was the seat of an anti-Spanish rebellion.
Sciacca è un comune italiano di 41.094 abitanti della provincia di Agrigento in Sicilia.È una città di mare, turistica e termale. Ricca di monumenti e chiese, è nota fra l'altro per il suo storico carnevale.La cittadina di Sciacca si trova sulla costa del Canale di Sicilia tra le foci del fiume Platani e Belice, a circa 65 metri sul livello del mare: ad est s’innalza il monte Kronio alto 386 metri, alle cui falde scaturiscono, per un percorso di circa sei chilometri, le famose acque termali.È situata a forma di anfiteatro sul mare a mezzogiorno della Sicilia, di fronte all'isola di Pantelleria e Tunisi, a metà strada tra le rovine di Selinunte, Eraclea Minoa, ed Agrigento.A circa 26 miglia marine dalla costa di Sciacca, a pochi metri dalla superficie del mare sul cosiddetto banco di Graham sorge un vulcano attivo che nel 1831 eruttò formando una piccola isola che venne chiamata Isola Ferdinandea. Il primo ad approdare sull'isola dopo alcuni primi tentativi falliti fu l'ammiraglio britannico James Graham che riuscì a piantarci sopra la bandiera britannica. Dopo qualche giorno una delegazione di cartografi francesi riuscì ad approdare e tracciare alcune piantine dell'isola. Questa delegazione battezzò l'isola con il nome di Julia. Dopo alcune settimane un'altra delegazione di geologi e cartografi borbonici riuscì a mettere piede sull'isola e tracciare altre piantine e battezzarono l'isola con il nome di Ferdinandea in onore al re delle Due Sicilie Ferdinando II. Le tre nazioni stavano ancora litigando per il possesso dell'isola, peraltro situata in mezzo al canale di Sicilia e quindi in una posizione estremamente strategica, che essa lasciò tutti di stucco inabissandosi tra flutti e vapori cinque mesi dopo.

Air Zimbabwe came into existence in 1980, changing its name from Air Rhodesia to reflect the name change of Zimbabwe itself. It inherited Air Rhodesia’s fleet of Boeing 707s and 720s, as well as Vickers Viscounts. It expanded its fleet and domestic services in 1982, when it took over regional carrier Affretair. In the same year, it adopted a new livery, further moving away from Air Rhodesia. Throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, Air Zimbabwe operated a modest network of domestic and international services, gradually modernizing its services and entering into a partnership with Qantas to fly routes between Zimbabwe and Australia.
As Zimbabwe’s economic woes worsened under President Robert Mugabe’s regime, Air Zimbabwe also began to suffer. By 2002, the airline was in considerable trouble. It was unable to cover its debts, tourism to Zimbabwe had plummeted, and hyperinflation set in, rendering the nation’s currency worthless. Unable to obtain foreign currency to pay for fuel or spare parts, and fighting a reputation as the “world’s most dangerous airline,” Air Zimbabwe underwent a period of groundings and suspension of services beginning in 2005 to the present day. As of this writing, Air Zimbabwe still exists and intermittently provides services, but its future is very cloudy.
This 747 shows Air Zimbabwe's livery adopted in 1982. It has since adopted a "Eurowhite" scheme with a different tail logo.

Portobello came into existence as a small suburb south of the city of Dublin in the 18th century, centred on Richmond St. During the following century it was completely developed, transforming an area of private estates and farmland into solid Victorian red-bricked living quarters for the middle classes (on the larger streets), and terraced housing bordering the canal for the working classes.
As a fast-expanding suburb during the 19th century Portobello attracted many upwardly-mobile families whose members went on to play important roles in politics, the arts and the sciences. Towards the end of the century came an influx of Jews, refugees from pogroms in Eastern Europe, which gave the name "Little Jerusalem" to the area.
