Paying It Forward ...
70 Cookie Artists, from 24 states and 3 countries, lovingly joined forces for a huge bake sale in a tiny community in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, to honor an incredible 13-year-old boy, his message and his foundation. We were unbelievably humbled by the outpouring of support and selfless generosity of these amazing Cookie Artists, who heard about Bo’s journey with Extramedullary Acute Myeloid Leukemia and his simple, yet profound message:
“Love each other, help each other, have your neighbor's back. If you see someone in need — even a stranger — reach out and help. This world can be a better place if we care and help each other.”

Monastic foundation
The priory of St. Mary of Newstead, a house of Augustinian Canons, was founded by King Henry II of England about the year 1170,[1] as one of many penances he paid following the murder of Thomas Becket.[2] Contrary to its current name, Newstead was never an abbey: it was a priory.
In the late 13th century, the priory was rebuilt and extended. It was extended again in the 15th-century, when the Dorter, Great Hall and Prior's Lodgings were added.[1] The priory was designed to be home to at least 13 monks, although there appear to have been only 12 (including the Prior) at the time of the dissolution.[1]
The Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1534 gave the clear annual value of this priory as £167 16s. 11½d. The considerable deductions included 20s. given to the poor on Maundy Thursday in commemoration of Henry II, the founder, and a portion of food and drink similar to that of a canon given to some poor person every day, valued at 60s. a year.
Despite the annual value of Newstead being clearly below the £200 assigned as the limit for the suppression of the lesser monasteries, this priory obtained the doubtful privilege of exemption, on payment to the Crown of the heavy fine of £233 6s. 8d in 1537.
The surrender of the house was accomplished on 21 July 1539. The signatures attached were those of John Blake, prior, Richard Kychun, sub-prior, John Bredon, cellarer, and nine other canons, Robert Sisson, John Derfelde, William Dotton, William Bathley, Christopher Motheram, Geoffrey Acryth, Richard Hardwyke, Henry Tingker, and Leonard Alynson.
The prior obtained a pension of £26 13s. 4d., the sub-prior £6, and the rest of the ten canons who signed the surrender sums varying from £5 6s. 8d. to £3 6s. 8d.
The lake was dredged in the late eighteenth century and the lectern, thrown into the Abbey fishpond by the monks to save it during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, was discovered. In 1805 it was given to Southwell Minster by Archdeacon Kaye where it still resides.

Sir John Byron of Colwick in Nottinghamshire was granted Newstead Abbey by Henry VIII of England on 26 May 1540 and started its conversion into a country house. He was succeeded by his son Sir John Byron of Clayton Hall. Many additions were made to the original building. The 13th century ecclesiastical buildings were largely ruined during the dissolution of the monasteries. It then passed to John Byron, an MP and Royalist commander, who was created a baron in 1643. He died childless in France and ownership transferred to his brother Richard Byron. Richard's son William was a minor poet and was succeeded in 1695 by his son William Byron, 4th Baron Byron. Early in the 18th century, the 4th Lord Byron landscaped the gardens extensively, and amassed a hugely admired collection of artistic masterpieces.
During the ownership of William, 5th Baron Byron, the Abbey suffered a downturn in fortunes. As a young man, William lavished money on the estate, building picturesque Gothic follies and staging glamorous mock navy battles on the lake.[4] Continuing to take out loans and pursue his pleasures of horse-racing, gambling, and going to the theatre, he found himself financially reliant on a scheme of marrying off his only surviving son and heir to a wealthy heiress. The plan fell apart when his heir eloped with his cousin Juliana Byron, daughter of William's brother John Byron.
Though late 18th-century gossip attested that he ruined the estate, felled trees, and killed deer while hellbent on revenge, this is not the case – he simply had no money to pay his debts, and stripped the Abbey and estate of its artistic treasures, furniture, and even its trees, to quickly raise cash.[5] Though he made thousands of pounds it was not enough to pay back the loans he had been taking out since his thirties, and there was no hope of restoring the Abbey to its former glory.
As well as outliving all four of his children William also outlived his only grandson, who was killed by cannon fire in 1794 while fighting in Corsica at the age of 22. The 5th Lord died on 21 May 1798, at the age of 75.[6] Later, 19th-century myths attest that on his death, the great numbers of crickets he kept at Newstead left the estate in swarms. The title and Newstead Abbey were then left to his great-nephew, George Gordon Byron, then aged 10, who became the 6th Baron Byron and later the famous and notorious poet.
Lord Byron
The young Lord Byron soon arrived at Newstead and was greatly impressed by the estate. The scale of the estate contributed to Byron's extravagant taste and sense of his own importance. However, no less impressive was the scale of problems at Newstead, where the yearly income had fallen to just £800 and many repairs were needed. He and his mother soon moved to the nearby town of Southwell and neither lived permanently at Newstead for any extended period. His view of the decayed Newstead became one of the romantic ruin, a metaphor for his family's fall:
Thro' thy battlements, Newstead, the hollow winds whistle;
Thou, the hall of my fathers, art gone to decay.
The estate was leased to the 23-year-old Henry Edward Yelverton, 19th Baron Grey de Ruthyn, from January 1803. The lease was for £50 a year for the Abbey and Park for five years, until Byron came of age. Byron stayed for some time in 1803 with Lord Grey, before they fell out badly.
In 1808, Lord Grey left at the end of his lease and Byron returned to live at Newstead and began extensive and expensive renovations. His works were mainly decorative, however, rather than structural, so that rain and damp obscured his changes within just a few years.
Byron had a beloved Newfoundland dog named Boatswain, who died of rabies in 1808. Boatswain was buried at Newstead Abbey and has a monument larger than his master's. The inscription, from Byron's poem Epitaph to a Dog, has become one of his best-known works:
The poem Epitaph to a Dog as inscribed on Boatswain's monument
Near this Spot
Are deposited the Remains
of one
Who possessed Beauty
Without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferosity,
And all the Virtues of Man
without his Vices.
This Praise, which would be unmeaning flattery
If inscribed over Human Ashes,
Is but a just tribute to the Memory of
"Boatswain," a Dog
Who was born at Newfoundland,
May, 1803,
And died at Newstead Abbey
Nov. 18, 1808.
Byron had wanted to be buried with Boatswain, although he would ultimately be buried in the family vault at the nearby Church of St Mary Magdalene, Hucknall.
He was determined to stay at Newstead—"Newstead and I stand or fall together"—and he hoped to raise a mortgage on the property, but his advisor John Hanson urged a sale. This would be a preoccupation for many years and was certainly not resolved when Byron left for his Mediterranean travels in 1809. Upon his return to England in 1811, Byron stayed in London, not returning to see his mother who had been living in Newstead. She died, leaving him distraught at his own negligence of her. He lived again at the Abbey for a time but was soon drawn to life in London.
For the next few years, Byron made several attempts to sell the Abbey. It was put up at auction in 1812 but failed to reach a satisfactory price. A buyer was found, however, who offered £140,000, which was accepted. By spring 1813, though, the buyer, Thomas Claughton, had only paid £5,000 of the agreed down-payment. Byron was in debt and had continued to spend money on the expectation that the house would be sold. Negotiations began to degenerate and Byron accused Claughton of robbing the wine cellar. By August 1814, it was clear that the sale had fallen through, and Claughton forfeited what he had paid of the deposit. Byron was now without settled financial means and proposed marriage to the heiress Anne Isabella Milbanke. Claughton did return with new proposals involving a reduced price and further delays. Byron turned him down.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon's poem Lines Suggested on Visiting Newstead Abbey accompanies an engraving of Newstead Abbey after a painting by Thomas Allom (Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, 1839). This poem is mainly a reflection on Byron and what it means to be a poet. Miss Landon may have visited Newstead Abbey on one of her visits to her uncle in Aberford, Yorkshire.
Newstead Abbey (1975)
In July 1815, Newstead was once again put up for auction but failed to reach its reserve, bought in at 95,000 guineas. It was only during Byron's exile in Italy, in 1818, that a buyer was found.[7] Thomas Wildman, who had been at Harrow School with Byron and was heir to Jamaican plantations, paid £94,500, easing Byron's financial troubles considerably.
Wildman too spent a great deal of money on the Abbey and its contents, restoring it to some greatness. The architect John Shaw Sr. designed new parts of the abbey for Wildman.
William Frederick Webb
In 1861, William Frederick Webb, African explorer, bought the Abbey from Wildman's widow. People including David Livingstone, Abdullah Susi, James Chuma and Jacob Wainwright all visited the Abbey at different times during the period Webb lived there.[8] Under Webb, the chapel was redecorated, but the rest of the house remained largely unaltered. After his death in 1899, the estate passed to each of his surviving children and finally to his grandson Charles Ian Fraser. Fraser sold Newstead to local philanthropist Sir Julien Cahn, who presented it to Nottingham Corporation in 1931.

The anniversaries of the years 2012/2013 - 250 years orphanage foundation and first church.
In the years 1762 and 1763 by the foundation of Maria Theresa and by the
laying of the foundation stone for the first church - what we are talking about here is the predecessor of our present parish church - and its Benedizierung (Benediction) for the development of the Rennweger orphanage decisive strategic measures were taken. In the following lines these significant events will be discussed in more detail, not such a long time ago celebrating the 250th anniversary.
The history here should be summarized only briefly: the impulse to the creation of
Rennweger orphanage emanated from canon and later Auxiliary Bishop Franz Anton
Marxer that during the Holy Week of the Year 1742 while visiting the workhouse in the
Leopoldstadt discovered 20 neglected and sick orphan girls in a remote chamber. Seeking help, he turned to his friend, the manufacturer Johann Michael Kienmayer. This had on a large property complex between Landstraßer Hauptstrasse, Rennweg and today's Oberzellergasse a spinning mill built and he put up the children there. This presented the humble beginning of the later so legendary Rennweger Orphanage. Due to the large inflow of orphans, under the leadership of architect Mathias Gerl until 1745 emerged a house with its facade oriented to Rennweg, which consisted of three wings with two courtyards. In 1743 a small chapel was
built, which was dedicated to the Visitation of Mary. After interim organizational difficulties, the development of the orphanage by the vocation in 1759 of the Jesuit Father Ignaz Parhamer took off in a significant way.
In the years 1762/1763 arose a new situation, as Kienmayer hat to shot down the factory because it was not profitable enough. Now intervened Maria Theresa, for whom the Rennweger orphanage was a big concern. She bought from the manufacturer Kienmayer the at the Landstraße situated factory building plus residential building plus property and and gave it "for all time" the orphanage. Finally she acquired in 1763 also in favor of the orphanage from Kienmayer those tract he had laid out in 1754 for his harness makers. A copy of the deed of donatio
of 16th April 1763 is in the possession of our parish. The conditions for the structural
expansion of the orphanage were thus created. At the same time it was clear that the
small chapel built in 1743 with the ever-increasing number of orphans for
a sophisticated spiritual care of the children would not be sufficient. Therefore, it was the construction of a church (sometimes in literature of a "larger chapel" is spoken) decided.
The foundation stone was laid on 22nd October 1762 by Count Franz Esterhazy as substitute
of the Empress, Auxiliary Bishop Marxer carried out the consecration. As builder acted again Mathias Gerl. Even then the motivating force and the organizational skills of Father Parhamer were noticeable: The construction of the church in the incredible building time of
only six months was completed. On 12th May 1763 - it was celebrated on this day the feast
Ascension of Christ, and it was the eve of the birthday of the Empress - the new
Church was benediziert (dedicated) by abbot Amand of Montserat in honor of the birth of Mary. About the exact nature of this first church due to lack of source material only presumptions are possible. Unfortunately, Father's Parhamer orphanage reports from the years 1762 to 1768 are missing. In the report of 1762 noted Parhamer, the church sure is too "poor and small, but it is benediciret (benedictory)". Furthermore it was reported that the Church possessed a special place, a decent sacristy, a high altar and two side altars, two oratorios and a choir with organ and a triple entrance.
Interesting in this context is the hint of pastor Rieder related to the pictures on the side altars, on the one hand representing the crucified Saviour (this is a gift of the archduke and future emperor Joseph) and on the other hand the painful Mother of God - those works of art created by the Capuchin Father Norbert Baumgartner adorn also the side altars of our today's church. The church was parallel to the Rennweg (the street) facade aligned. The art historian Susanna Haiden, which herself in her thesis dealt in detail with the construction process, with respect to the local placement two theses considers possible: by using the present plans or stitches
of Gütl and Hefele, on the one hand the old church could have reached until the middle of the present church. In this case, only the foundations of the facade and of a nave wall for the new church could have been utilized. However, for more conclusive she considers that the
perpendicular to Rennweg standing part of the old church the layout of today's church nave without side aisles would have formed. In this case, it would have been possible to use all the foundations of the previous building for the new nave and only the lateral galleries
had to be added. This supposition is supported by the fact that in application of this model a significant cost saving would have been achieved. Absolute certainty can but probably only a locating of the lost annual reports yield.
Ultimately, the question arises how this building was financed. Here you come across to name of one of the greatest benefactors of the Rennweger orphanage, namely the Duchess Maria Teresa of Savoy and Piedmont, born Princess of Liechtenstein. Although a confirmation of the foundation nowhere can be found, not even in Liechtenstein's House archive in Vaduz, upon the report of reverend Rieder the correctness of this thesis can be assumed. This is also supported by the fact that the Duchess already on 1st April 1743 to canon Marxer had handed over a sum of 7,500 guilders, so that from it for "everlasting times" six poor children could be maintained. These children had on their clothes the character "Th P" to carry so they could be distinguished from other Stiftlingen (trainees).
With this new building, the conditions for a good spiritual care for the orphans were created and one could assume that the new church for a long time would fulfill its task. Today we know that it should be standing not even five years. Through the by Maria Theresa disposed merger of the orphanage foundation with the foundation of the Baron von Chaos in 1767, the construction of a new and larger church became necessary. The construction of this second church - the question is about our present parish church - was started on 29th February 1768. The inauguration with the legendary Premiere of the Waisenhausmesse (Missa solemnis in C minor) by W. A. Mozart was held on 7th December 1768 and this Anniversary will certainly be celebrated proportionately in 2018.

They were founded as "community education sites" after the National Socialist seizure of power in 1933.), Wikipedia
History
1288 an estate was detectable in this area. 1614 the estate with fields, meadows and vineyards was acquired by the Habsburg monarchy, was first described as a Favoritenhof 1623 and served as the widow's home for the Empresses Anna of Austria-Tyrol, Eleonora Gonzaga and Eleonora Magdalena Gonzaga of Mantua-Nevers. For this, the estate was remodeled in 1642 according to plans of Giovanni Battista Carlone to pleasure palace with pleasure garden called Favorita.
The emperors Leopold I, Joseph I and Charles VI. served the Favorita as a preferred summer residence. During this time, extensions were built, the in the second Turkish siege in 1683 originated ravages repaired and sold some of the fields.
Charles' VI. daughter, Maria Theresa, heiress to the throne in the Austrian dominions, in the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Hungary and since 1745, when her husband became Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, as Empress was dubbed, preferred as summer residence the Schönbrunn Palace and had it expanded. To this decision may have contributed that the Favorita, concerning location and architecture, with Belvedere Castle could not compete, which the for Habsburg victorious commander Eugene of Savoy, of Charles VI. richly endowed, had built about 800 meters to the east form here using a prominent hillside.
The baroque Favorita (it was by now called New Favorita, the Old Favorita had been in the Augarten) in the suburb of Wieden handed Maria Theresia to the Jesuits - with the condition in it to establish an educational institution, a knight's academy for the benefit of the universal essence, but especially the noble youth. Main task should be the raising of educated and loyal government officials and diplomats. In the 18th and 19th Century followed various extensions and increases in the building.
1783 dissolved the reformer Joseph II in the Austrian hereditary lands all knights academies, as well as the Theresianum. In 1797 Emperor Franz II as sovereign approved the reopening under the management of the Piarists. The facade was rebuilt in the classical style. After the revolution of 1848, Emperor Franz Joseph I. disposed the admission of sons of the middle class as students.
The Oriental Academy, founded by Maria Theresa in 1754, was since the 19th Century in the Theresianum. In 1900 renamed, moved the Consular Academy in 1904 in its newly constructed own building (9, Boltzmanngasse 16, since 1947 Embassy of the United States). It was in 1938 by the Nazi regime canceled. Its role was in 1964 by the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna (see below) resumed.
After the "Anschluss" of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938, the Nazis dissolved the Theresianische Academy and established on 13 March 1939, exactly one year after the "Anschluss", in the buildings a National Political Education Institute (Napola). 1944/1945, the plant was badly damaged by bombs and grenades. 1945, the buildings in the occupied postwar Austria were by the Soviet occupying power monopolised, in the four-sector city of Vienna the 4th district controlling. It handed the Theresianum over to the USIA, the administration of Soviet Property in Austria.
After the State Treaty of 1955, the Austrian State resp. the Foundation Theresianum got the property on 20 September 1955 refunded, and in September 1957, the school system of the private school with public status could be resumed. The re-establishment of the in the war damaged buildings was carried out by the State from 1956 to 1964. In 1964 in a part of the buildings the by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs established Diplomatic Academy of Vienna started operations, with which the Viennese educational establishement for this topic after 60 years returned into the Theresianum .
Since 1989, in the high school female students are accepted, too.
The gymnasium in the presence
In addition to general education, the focus of the school is placed on language education - the compulsory subjects include other than German, English, French, Latin, Russian and mathematics - and in the education to internationality. Special emphasis is placed on politeness and good appearance. An additional service is available in the areas of sport, art, creativity, information and communication technology and music, and economic projects. The school is run as half-and full boarding.
The school campus is 50,000 square meters and includes a soccer field, and a fun court, two other soccer fields, a swimming pool, a tennis court, a running track, two beach volleyball courts, a basketball court, a large, divisible gymnasium and a smaller, older hall, in both of the are climbing walls as well as other sporting items available.
Currently nearly 800 students attend the Theresianische Academy. Many come from more distant states or from abroad and have the opportunity to live in a boarding school in this case.
The selection of professors is made by the respective school management in cooperation with the Vienna Board of Education. The boarding school, as well as some activities are shared with the Lycée Français de Vienne.

The 22nd Annual FDNY Foundation Dinner took place on Thursday, May 11, 2017, at the New York Hilton in Manhattan. The dinner is held every year to honor individuals and businesses who have provided overwhelming support to the Fire Department of the City of New York.
When I was at VanDusen Garden for the festival of lights, Make A Wish BC & Yukon Foundation was also raising money for children. They created an amusement park based on lego. Within this park, there were different themes and the Star Wars one caught my attention.
I guess many Star Wars fans, like me, will be looking forward to the upcoming movie in 8 days. I can't wait to watch this movie. Too bad Yoda will not be in the movie.
Location: Vancouver, BC (VanDusen Garden)
Onze tentoonstellingen willen geen oase zijn. Onze presentatie is onaf, in beweging, ongepolijst, contradictorisch, slordig, complex, onharmonieus, levend en onmonumentaal, zoals de wereld buiten de museummuren.
De Verbeke Foundation is een private kunstsite die geopend werd op 1 juni 2007 door kunstverzamelaars Geert Verbeke en Carla Verbeke-Lens.
Cultuur, natuur en ecologie komen er samen. De ruimte herbergt een indrukwekkende verzameling van moderne en hedendaagse kunst en biedt als kunstenvrijplaats ook kansen aan jonge kunstenaars.
Met zijn 12 hectare natuurgebied en zijn 20.000 m² overdekte ruimten is de Verbeke Foundation één van de grootste privé-initiatieven voor hedendaagse kunst in Europa. De loodsen van het vroegere transportbedrijf van Geert Verbeke werden omgebouwd tot unieke expositieruimtes. Eén van de gebouwen werd ingericht om de uitzonderlijke verzameling collages en assemblages tentoon te stellen. De Verbeke Foundation is in een aanhoudend groeiproces. Kunstenaars kunnen er in residentie verblijven en grotere en kleinere tentoonstellingen wisselen elkaar af, waardoor de foundation er elke dag anders uitziet, zoals een ademend organisme.
Geschiedenis
In het begin van de jaren 1990 begonnen Geert en Carla Verbeke-Lens kunst te verzamelen. Na een initiële interesse voor abstracte schilderkunst werd de collectie geheroriënteerd naar collages en assemblages van hoofdzakelijk Belgische kunstenaars. De afgelopen jaren werd de verzameling verder uitgebreid naar hedendaagse kunst en naar bio-art.
Collages en assemblages
De kern van de privéverzameling bestaat uit een uitzonderlijke collectie van zo’n 6000 collages en assemblages voornamelijk uit de twintigste eeuw. Een aparte ruimte werd ingericht om een deel van deze collectie permanent tentoon te stellen.
Hedendaags kunst
De Verbeke Foundation wenst een plek te zijn waar cultuur, natuur en ecologie samenkomen. Het werk van bio-artiesten en van kunstenaars die met levende materialen werken (planten, dieren, geuren) sluit hier naadloos bij aan. Sinds de opening van de Verbeke Foundation in 2007 kon de verzameling uitgebreid worden met hedendaagse werken en in situ gebouwde installaties.
