La esencia, aquello que nos define, es lo que construimos nosotros mismos mediante nuestros actos.
Sartre
The essence, that defines us, is what we built by themselves with our acts.

in Paul Auster's book "The Brooklyn Follies", Hotel Existence is a place, created in imaginations of the main characters.
It's pictured as a place to which they can escape from the boredom of everyday life and world .....
P.S:
My English used to be much better :)))))))
Drill halls came into existence following the formation of large numbers of rifle and artillery volunteer groups in 1859/60. These militia required a large, open space within which to practice, as well as secure storage for weapons. Given that they were expected to train for between 21 and 56 days during the summer, and given the often inclement nature of British weather, it was generally felt that a covered area for drilling would be preferable to the use of an outdoor space.
Although many of the earlier volunteer groups made use of existing buildings such as village halls, adapting them to their needs, a purpose built drill hall was considered the most desirable option. Drill halls therefore began to emerge as a distinct building type which, although no two are identical, may be considered to have three essential elements:
▪︎Firstly - administrative rooms such as offices, stores and an armoury.
▪︎Secondly - the large, open training area of the hall and associated target range.
▪︎Thirdly - accommodation for the caretaker or drill instructor.
In addition to these three basic elements may be a number of optional extras in the form of social space. In an early drill hall the social spaces of the building were often extensive – drill halls, during the early decades of their existence, were seen as exclusive military clubs and therefore the building often served as a social centre as well as a military establishment.
The York Road drill hall in Great Yarmouth was designed in 1867 by J.T. Bottle as the base for the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Norfolk Regiment. The 1912 edition of Kelly’s Directory of Norfolk includes the following description of the building:
▪︎The Drill Hall of the Great Yarmouth rifle detachment of the Territorial Force, erected in 1867, on the York Road, covers a space of ground 147 feet in length by 65 feet in width, the large hall is roofed in one span with elliptic ribs, and is lighted chiefly by a skylight at the apex of the roof.
The building comprises of a residential block, the drill hall and the rear block containing offices and store rooms. The front of the building is of the Gothic revival style with a facing of uncoursed knapped flint with dressings of red brick, yellow brick and ashlar. The interior of the hall have curved laminated trusses and a simple frame with projecting arrow-shaped finials. The use of gilding would have further enhanced the interior's design. Although the drill hall was constructed for a rifle division there appears to be no firing range. It is possible that an external range was used and the only space nearby of a suitable size is St Peter's Plain to the south. The hall was designated as a Grade II listed building in January 2010.
Seachange Arts have received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund for a project to celebrate and explore the historic York Road Drill Hall in its 150th year. Made possible by money raised by National Lottery players, the project, ''Drill House 150'' focuses on the history of the building in both its military and community roles. Drill House 150 explores people’s memories of the building as a social hub and military centre. It will also seek to uncover its role in the defence of Great Yarmouth and some of its architectural secrets.
Over the years, the Drill House has housed concerts, marching bands and became a community sports hall before Seachange Arts acquired the building in 2012. The main hall has recently undergone a major refurbishment to turn it into an international circus and street arts centre. The Drill House – Celebrating 150 years project will work with local people, schools, historians, performers and artists over its course with material collected added to the Great Yarmouth Library and Time and Tide Museum’s archives.

Nordegg town came into existence in 1914, but it was not until 1919 that the Bank of Commerce was opened. Eventually it became the Nordegg Branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, when the two banks merged.
The upper floor of this building was a small suite ... living quarters for the employee who looked after the books and finances of Nordegg's commercial district.
This photo was taken from the rear of the building, facing west. The sun, low in the western sky, brightened the vacant windows of the old building.
For the first time in six years of existence, the P1 AquaX was hosting a World Championship event sanctioned by IJSBA and it happened in Key West, Florida December 9th and 10th 2017. Since the Thailand King's Cup was being held at the same time, only 18 of the 25 pilots that made the selection were racing this week end. Nevertheless, Key West was a beautiful destination to race, every morning brought a different colour of sunrise and the ever changing blue hues of the water made this race memorable. After marine and storm delays, day one was hard for David Chassier after experiencing mechanical problems. Day two was a little better even if the Yamaha FX SVHO was barely taking 7000 rpm, the French pilot from Blois managed to finish 12 and 13, which placed him 15 overall. A big thank you to Barefoot Billy's Jet Ski Rental that helped us train the first days in Key West as well as Redler's family that gave us assistance and support during the race. Congratulation to our friend Nicolas Rius on landing a 3rd place overall despite a bad shoulder injury and we wish him the best recovery so he can be back a the top for 2018. This was the last race of the season, see you next year :)

Country Club Bayou, these days, barely has an existence. After a brief sort of presence near Evergreen Cemetery, it flows, channeled and paved over, a few blocks, before emerging at the railroad trestles west of Hughes Street. It then flows for a bit, some of that through the country club, until it empties into Brays Bayou.
Long known by nearby residents as Slaughter House Ditch, it still retains a stench, of waste and hydrogen sulfide, and low oxygen levels, probably the gift of some illegal contributions by some overhead business, during its paved over flow.

On Saturday July 2, a March for Europe took place in central London, which attracted around 50,000 people, calling for Britain to remain in the EU, supporting the pan-European community that it has allowed to come into existence, opposing racism and xenophobia, and calling for MPs to refuse to pass the legislation that is needed for our departure to actually take place, rather than, as at present, being the preferred course of action of a slim majority of the 72.2% of the electorate who actually bothered to vote. I took this photo, at the top of Whitehall, by Trafalgar Square, of a placard with an important (if misspelt) message.
The march took place just eight days after a shocked Britain woke up to discover that, after the most ill-advised referendum in UK history, those voting to leave the EU had secured more votes than those who wanted to stay in — and those attending were just a fraction of the 16,141,241 people who voted to remain in the EU, but the march was an important sign of hugely important dissent that, I fervently hope, will not go away.
We need to maintain pressure on our MPs not to accept the result — not out of any anti-democratic sentiment, but because 1) leaving the EU would be disastrous for our economy and our standing in the world; 2) isolationism has already led to a rise in racism and xenophobia, apparently normalised by the result; 3) the referendum should never have been called, and was only called because of the narrow party political concerns of David Cameron, and not because of any need for it; 4) the Leave campaign’s efforts to secure victory, with the collusion of large parts of the media, involved telling voters disgraceful lies, and Boris Johnson, who did so much to ensure its success, didn’t even believe in it, and only supported it in the hope of furthering his own political aims; 5) most importantly, Parliament has to endorse it before it can happen, and MPs’ obligation is to vote in the best interests of the country, not to rubber-stamp the result of a unjustifiable referendum; and 6) as some lawyers are arguing, the process of triggering our departure from the EU, if enacted, would be unlawful.

The existence of the estate in its current form goes back over 230 years to its creator Thomas Harley. But since then only two other families have owned the property; the Rodneys and the Cawleys.
Berrington was essentially created by one man, Thomas Harley, who bought the estate around 1775. He made his fortune as a banker and government contractor in London, but had long family links with Herefordshire, to which, in his mid-40s, he was keen to retire from the hurly-burly of City politics.
Harley commissioned ‘Capability’ Brown to lay out the park, which has spectacular views west towards Wales and the Black Mountains. Around 1778 he also called in Brown’s son-in-law, Henry Holland, to design him a new house in the latest French influenced Neo-classical style, using the finest London craftsman.
Harley had no male heir, but was delighted when in 1781 his daughter Anne married the son of Admiral Lord Rodney, a great naval commander.
On Harley’s death in 1804, Berrington passed to the Rodney family, who lived there for the next 95 years. Unfortunately George, the 7th Lord Rodney lost the family wealth in the late 19th century; first selling off furniture and paintings. He was finally forced to sell the house in 1901.
The house was purchased in 1901 by Frederick Cawley MP (later to become Lord Cawley), a wealthy Lancashire cotton finisher who bought a new lease of life to Berrington. He redecorated the house with considerable sympathy and many of his schemes still survive. He replaced ugly Victorian fire grates with more appropriate Georgian models but otherwise did little to disturb Holland’s beautiful original design.
It was in this cherished state that the house came to the National Trust in 1957 in part payment for death duties for the second Lord Cawley.

HMS Drake is the naval designation for HMNB Devonport, still in existence today. Prior to 1934, it was HMS Vivid. Ordinary Seaman Manchip may well have been a victim of the Plymouth Blitz.
Plans were made to create a joint stock cemetery for the then separate towns of Stonehouse, Devonport and Plymouth, in 1842. Eventually, the cemetery was open for burials on 1 December 1848, the first interment taking place on the 22 December. Interest at first was low and the company nearly folded, but in 1854, the General Board of Health closed all churchyards and other burial grounds in Plymouth to safeguard public health, making the cemetery's fortune until the early 20th Century. Decline started in 1904 with the opening of the Weston Mill and Efford cemeteries, compounded by an interest in cremation. Although not too serious a threat at that time, cremation grew in popularity during the 20th Century, and by 1980 this means of disposal was used by 80% of the population.
By the 1980s, the company was in terminal decline with a vicious circle created; poor maintenance made the cemetery less attractive to families as a last resting place for their loved ones leading to worse conditions. In 1999, after 153 years, the company went into voluntary liquidation. The cemetery was taken over in 2000 by the Ford Park Cemetery Trust, with charitable status. With grants and donations they are bringing the cemetery back to its former glory, a long and difficult task.
There are two chapels, one built as a Dissenters' chapel, the other Church of England. The former was destroyed during the Plymouth Blitz when at least three bombs fell on the cemetery. This was rebuilt and is now the visitor centre and offices of the complex. The Church of England chapel will eventually be restored when funding becomes available. There are two Victoria Cross graves, one of which is the second Victoria Cross to be issued.
A few months ago I read a post about this ancient monument, I was unaware of its existence.
I logged into my Google Maps and recorded it as one of my desired places to visit.
Today Thursday 15th November 2018 Scotland basked in a beautiful Autumn sunshine, my favoured shooting conditions, I packed my Nikon and drove the 25 miles to the site.
Historic Environment Scotland maintain the monument , thankfully they have done a magnificent job, I truly believe it is important to preserve history for the generations to come.
I had a magnificent two hours recording my experience, I never fail to feel overwhelmed by the wealth of history that surrounds Aberdeen and the shire.
Thank's to Historic Environment Scotland for their detailed information on this site.
Ancient Monument - Kinkell Church - Inverurie Aberdeen Scotland.
Kinkell Church, built in the 1200s, is a classic medieval Highland church: simply designed and rectangular in shape. But the liturgical features installed in the 1520s are anything but plain. The stone sacrament house in the north of the church is an especially fine fixture.
Kinkell was refitted for Presbyterian worship following the Protestant Reformation of 1560, and declared redundant in 1771. Much of the building was dismantled and building materials recycled for use in a new kirk.
KINKELL CHURCH
• Kinkell Church, dedicated to St Michael, consist of the remains of a simple rectangular medieval parish church, of which only the N, W and part of the E
wall are upstanding.
The church was partly remodelled, perhaps on more than one occasion,
including in the early 16th century, when an elaborately carved Sacrament
House was built into the E end of the N wall.
Within the church is the monument of Gilbert de Greenlaw, killed at the battle
of Harlaw in 1411; the stone was re-used for a Forbes burial in 1592
CHARACTER OF THE MONUMENT
The church appears to have come on record in the early 13th century. Kinkell
was a mother church, or plebanus, and had dependent chapels at Dyce,
Drumblade, Kemnay, Kinnellar, Kintore and Skene.
This connection, which
was of long standing, may have arisen if Kinkell’s origins was that of an ecclesiastical foundation, rather like a minster, with an extensive parochia.
This would push back its origins considerably.
From the 14th century, certain revenues of the church evidently pertained to the Knights Hospitallers, although it is also recorded as an independent parsonage during the 14th century.
Any connection with the Hospitallers came to an end in 1420, when the church
and its annexes were erected into a prebend of Aberdeen Cathedral.
From a date and a set of initials on the sacrament house, it is apparent that in 1524 Alexander Galloway, rector of Kinkell and canon of Aberdeen Cathedral,
paid for the splendid sacrament house built into the E end of the N wall.
He appears to have been paying for further work the following year as a carved stone panel depicting the crucifixion, dated 1525, and with Alexander’s initials (three times), is built into the N wall (only a bronze replica survives; the original
was removed to Aberdeen Museum in 1934 and subsequently lost).
The church was abandoned in 1771 when the parish was amalgamated with
Keithhall. It was partially demolished to provide building materials for the new
parish church.
Archaeological Overview
There have been no recorded archaeological investigations at Kinkell.
The archaeological potential of the monument is extremely high and any excavation is very like to come across human remains, and perhaps also earlier church
buildings on the site.
Artistic/Architectural Overview
The church is fragmentary and devoid of features apart for the sacrament
house, the crucifixion panel and a single jamb of what must have been a large,
traceried E window. The simple oblong plan of the church suggests that the
basic form of the church dates from the early 13th century, with much late
medieval remodelling.
2/3
• The sacrament house is a particularly fine, and unique, example of this type of
medieval church fixture. It was an aumbry, or wall cupboard, designed to
reserve the host in appropriate reverential surroundings.
• The sacrament house at Kinkell shares several features with others found in
the NE, associated with Galloway, but is unique due to its cross shape. The
aumbry is flanked by two buttresses with crocketed finials. Between these is a
panel, which although badly defaced, appears to have been ornamented with a
monstrance supported by two angels (a very common motif found on other
sacrament houses associated with Alexander Galloway). Above this panel is a
corbelled and battlemented cornice, and above this is an oblong panel, which
probably contained a crucifixion scene, but is now empty. Flanking the
pinnacles are two panels, each filled with scrolls, which are of different forms
although the inscriptions on the scrolls were meant to be read as one and
state: ‘Here is preserved that body which was born of a virgin’.
• The crucifixion panel has a representation of St Michael, the archangel (to
whom the church was dedicated) to the right of the crucified, the Virgin on the
left and under her a priest, perhaps representing Galloway himself as donor,
standing beside an altar on which are Galloway’s initials.
• The sacrament house and the Crucifixion panel appear to have been part of a
liturgical revival in the diocese of Aberdeen during the early decade on the 16th
century. Alexander Galloway appear to have been a central figure in the move
to ensure parish churches had the fittings for the proper worship of God, and in
particular devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. He erected several sacrament
houses in churches he was involved in; Kinkell and its dependents at Dyce and
Kintore, and at King College, Aberdeen and may have been influential in the
decision of his colleagues, Alexander Spittal of Auchindoir and Alexander Lyon
of Turiff, to erect those in their respective churches. Galloway also donated a
font to Kinkell, which now is now in St John’s Episcopal Church, Aberdeen.
• The construction of the sacrament house may have been part of a wider
reorganisation of the chancel area of the church, and it is tempting to suggest
that the great E window may have been a part of this re-organisation, although
details of this moulding may be more consistent with a 14th or 15th century
date.
Social Overview
• The church is currently used as a recreational attraction. It receives little other
community use.
Spiritual Overview
• As a parish church in use for some six centuries, the site has the potential to
inform our understanding of medieval Christianity, the aspirations of the
rectors, vicars and ministers who served the church and the congregations
who worshipped in it.
• The burial ground was in use until fairly recently, and may still be in use for
occasional burials. People still visit family graves and memorials.
Aesthetic Overview
• The church and burial ground are located in the haughs of the River Don,
amongst arable farmland which adds to the appreciation of this monument.
The church has been pointed with a hard cement mortar that give the walls the impression of crazy paving.
The sacrament house, the replica crucifixion panel,
3/3 the window jamb are fine architectural details which are aesthetically very striking, and provide some idea of the glories of this once very fine church.
• The graveslab of Gilbert de Greenlaw, killed at the Battle of Harlaw, which would originally have been a ledger slab, is a particularly detailed carving of an armed knight.
What are the major gaps in understanding of the property?
• Do further historical sources or references survive.
• Nothing is known about the archaeology and earlier history of this site.
The church is an example, although much ruined, of a church which was remodelled in the 16th century.
The sacrament house is a particularly fine example of this type of church
furnishing, and the only example which takes the form of a cross.
Sacrament houses are physical manifestation of an important aspect of late medieval
Christianity; the veneration and adoration of the Body of Christ in the form of the consecrated host.
The church is closely associated with Canon Alexander Galloway, who encouraged a liturgical revival in the diocese in the early 16th century.
The site has high archaeological potential, but as a place of burial over centuries so the scope for research-led invasive excavation is not high.

The London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) was a quango agency set up by the UK Government in 1981 to regenerate the depressed Docklands area of east London. During its eighteen-year existence it was responsible for regenerating an area of 8.5 square miles in the London Boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and Southwark. LDDC helped to create Canary Wharf, Surrey Quays shopping centre, London City Airport, ExCeL Exhibition Centre and the Docklands Light Railway, bringing more than 120,000 new jobs to the Docklands and making the area highly sought after for housing. Although initially fiercely resisted by local councils and residents, today it is generally regarded as having been a success and is now used as an exemplar of large-scale regeneration, although tensions between older and more recent residents remain.

Fermilab Antiproton Source
The antiproton is the antiparticle of the proton. Antiprotons are stable, but they are typically short-lived since any collision with a proton will cause both particles to be annihilated in a burst of energy.
The existence of the antiproton with −1 electric charge, opposite to the +1 electric charge of the proton, was predicted by Paul Dirac in his 1933 Nobel Prize lecture. Dirac received the Nobel Prize for his previous 1928 publication of his Dirac Equation that predicted the existence of positive and negative solutions to the Energy Equation (E = mc^2) of Einstein and the existence of the positron, the antimatter analog to the electron, with positive charge and opposite spin.
The antiproton was experimentally confirmed in 1955 by University of California, Berkeley physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain, for which they were awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physics. An antiproton consists of two up antiquark and one down antiquark (uud). The properties of the antiproton that have been measured all match the corresponding properties of the proton, with the exception that the antiproton has opposite electric charge and magnetic moment than the proton. The question of how matter is different from antimatter remains an open problem, in order to explain how our universe survived the Big Bang and why so little antimatter exists today.
