Goth subculture shows its dark side through self-harm and suicide rate
By Sam Lister, Health Correspondent

YOUNG people who become involved with Goth culture — the punk-rock-influenced genre usually associated with black clothes, make-up and androgyny — have a much higher tendency to harm themselves deliberately, research suggests.
A study by researchers at the University of Glasgow, published today in the British Medical Journal, indicates that almost half of teenagers who identify with the Goth subculture have attempted suicide or otherwise tried to hurt themselves. Even after accounting for factors such as social class, parental separation, smoking, alcohol use or previous depression, the team found that Goth identification remained the single strongest predictor of self-harm or attempted suicide.
The researchers surveyed 1,258 young people during their final year of primary school and again at ages 13, 15 and 19. They were asked about self-harm and association with a variety of youth subcultures, including Goth. It was found that being a Goth was strongly associated with a lifetime prevalence of self-harm (53 per cent) and attempted suicide (47 per cent).
Although 19th-century literature and horror film subject matter, such as vampires, are strong “Gothic” influences, the Goth movement became prominent during the early 1980s within the Gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk era. It is associated with characteristically Gothic tastes in music and clothing, ranging from lavish and androgynous Renaissance and Victorian dress to the black clothing, make-up and hair associated with contemporary popstars such as Marilyn Manson.
Research suggests that deliberate self-harm is common among young people, with rates of between 7 and 14 per cent in Britain. It is particularly widespread in certain populations and may be linked to depression, attempted suicide and various psychiatric disorders in later life.
The contemporary Goth youth subculture has previously been linked with self-harm, but until now there has been little supporting evidence. The Glasgow team analysed rates of self-harm among 14 other common youth subcultures. Some — such as punk and mosher — were also linked with self-harm, but the association was strongest for Goths.
Robert Young, the research leader, said that although fairly small numbers identified with the subculture, rates of self-harm and attempted suicide were high among the group. He said: “One common suggestion is that they may be copying subcultural icons or peers. But since our study found that more reported self-harm before, rather than after, becoming a Goth, this suggests that young people with a tendency to self-harm are attracted to the Goth subculture.”
Mr Young added that it was possible that being a Goth could provide young people with valuable social and emotional support from their peers, rather posing a risk to them. Michael van Beinum, a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist and an adviser to the study, said: “For some young people with mental health problems, a Goth subculture may be attractive, as it may allow them to find a community within which it may be easier for their distress to be understood.
“Social support is important for all young people to help them to cope with the difficulties they face. Therefore, finding a peer group of like-minded Goths may, for some, be adaptive.”
# The suicide rate in England is at its lowest level since record-keeping began in 1910, statistics indicate. Figures published by the National Suicide Prevention Strategy indicate that for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, there were 8.56 suicides per 100,000 people — a figure that the Government wants to reduce to 7.3 deaths per 100,000 for the period 2009, 2010 and 2011.
CULTURAL ROOTS
# Many Goths regard themselves as being at odds with mainstream culture because of a dissatisfaction with society and a wish to be different, or they have a particula

Χριστιανικές Ταινίες «Το μυστήριο της ευσέβειας: η συνέχεια» κλιπ 1 - Πώς θα εμφανιστεί ο Κύριος στον άνθρωπο όταν έλθει ξανά;
Στο πέρασμα των αιώνων, από τότε που ο Κύριος Ιησούς αναστήθηκε και ανήλθε στον ουρανό, εμείς οι πιστοί λαχταρούμε διακαώς να επιστρέψει ο Ιησούς ο Σωτήρας. Οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι πιστεύουν ότι αυτό που θα μας εμφανιστεί όταν επιστρέψει ο Κύριος θα είναι το πνευματικό σώμα του αναστημένου Ιησού. Όμως γιατί κατά τις έσχατες ημέρες έχει εμφανιστεί ο Θεός στον άνθρωπο, ενσαρκωμένος ως ο Υιός του ανθρώπου; Ο Παντοδύναμος Θεός λέει: «Εάν ο Θεός δεν ενσαρκωνόταν, θα παρέμενε Πνεύμα, τόσο αόρατο όσο και μη απτό για τον άνθρωπο. Ο άνθρωπος είναι πλάσμα της σάρκας, και ο άνθρωπος και ο Θεός ανήκουν σε δύο διαφορετικούς κόσμους και έχουν διαφορετική φύση. Το Πνεύμα του Θεού είναι ασύμβατο με τον άνθρωπο της σάρκας και δεν μπορούν να δημιουργηθούν σχέσεις μεταξύ τους». «Μόνο μέσω της ενσάρκωσης μπορεί να παραδώσει προσωπικά τον λόγο Του στα αυτιά όλων, έτσι ώστε όλοι όσοι έχουν αυτιά να ακούσουν τον λόγο Του και να λάβουν το έργο της κρίσης του λόγου. Αυτό είναι το αποτέλεσμα που πέτυχε ο λόγος Του [...]» (Ο Λόγος Ενσαρκώνεται).

"Nobody loses all the time."Warren Oates is one of my favorite actors. He was the antithesis of the handsome Hollywood actor. Oates did some amazing work with the director Sam Peckinpah. He was part of the remarkable ensemble cast that Peckinpah assembled for "The Wild Bunch." Imagine a director today luring these remarkable actors to work on a film that had little hope of financial reward: Ernest Borgnine, William Holden, Robert Ryan, Warren Oates, Ben Johnson, Edmund O'Brien, Strother Martin, Emilio Fernandez, L. Q. Jones and many other great character actors of the period. It is one of the greatest Westerns ever filmed, set in the final days that peripatetic bandits would exist on the planet.Warren Oates starred in the remarkable and ultra-violent "Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia." A case could be made that Oates was just a supporting actor to the real star of that film, the disembodied head of the title character Alfredo Garcia. The decapitated noggin of Garcia spent most of his star turn in a pillow case plagued by a horde of tenacious flies and their buzzing symphony. Gig Young played one of the gangsters hired to locate Alfredo Garcia, a local Lothario with the misfortune to impregnate the underage daughter of a cruel, wealthy and ruthless rancher. Through most of the film, Gig Young is impeccably clad in a natty suit that defied the coarse landscape. He wore a smile as evil as any in the history of cinema. His frightening smile had no peer until Ian McShane played the sexually indiscriminate criminal mastermind in "Sexy Beast." McShane is in the role of Teddy Bass, described as "Mr. Black Magic Himself." His smile is a greeting from Satan himself.In one disturbing scene in "...Alfredo Garcia" (disturbing scenes would take much more concentration than I could muster to count them) El Jefe orders his henchmen to break his own daughter's arm to force the name of her lover from the recalcitrant teenager.Kris Kristofferson, the former Rhodes Scholar, has a brief role in the film of a rapist biker.Oates as Bennie plays the abject loser on a quest for the unholy grail, the vessel being Garcia's head. To complicate matters, Bennie finds out that his own girlfriend fucked Garcia in recent days. The hunt escalates from mercenary to an act of personal revenge.In an early scene, Bennie is posted up in a seedy bar/brothel in Mexico, employed as a piano player and vocalist of limited skill. His version of Guantanamera is one of the saddest and most pathetic renditions of the song in the history of recorded music.Warren Oates was an original, a free spirit in Hollywood before they were driven out of the film industry by the insatiable greed of late-Capitalism. The social anarchists, free thinkers, hedonists and libertines of independent cinema took either vapid, low paying fare or no work at all. Left to drift into the purgatory of B movies or condemned to years of idle debauchery on a limited budget, the best of them foundered until producers and directors too young to have axes to grind and with no personal experience or vendettas with the breed found the courage to pull their heads out of their asses. Some of the more adventurous would offer the untouchables roles of substance again, despite the warnings of their elders. America's greatest directors such as John Cassavetes would mortgage his home to raise money and take acting parts of disinterest to him (such as Rosemary's Baby) to finance his films. This independence freed him from dependence on the bankrolls of the small minds of the neo-Philistines and dilettantes running the Hollywood racket. His highly personal style of making movies was little affected by producers that were only interested in making money. His actors and supporting crews worked with Cassavetes as a labor of love. Fortunately he had the talented and lovely Gena Rowlands bound in matrimony so his female roles were played by one of the best in the business. Cassavettes ended up cheating the conservative materialistic swing to the right in Hollywood by his financial independence and his fatal cirrhosis. The mighty Sam Peckinpah was a giant talent but constantly plagued by dipsomania. He had a reputation for being difficult to work with and a penchant for violence that extended into his interpersonal relationships. Peckinpah would eventually turn on everyone he was ever close to but he kept Warren Oates employed when Monte Hellman couldn't. An interviewer once asked Peckinpah why he made such violent films. He answered, "I'm a good whore. I go where I'm kicked." The reality of his situation was that no one in Hollywood trusted this loose cannon with a viable script. He would take 3rd rate scenarios and rewrite them to make them palatable to himself. Despite the rewrite, producers would insist on sensational violence to appeal to the baser sensibilities of the audience. He preferred working to not, since long periods between films gave him too much time to sacrifice himself to his predilection to excess. Peckinpah had little choice but to produce gory fair or he would die not trying. Warren Oates and Sam Peckinpah were authentic and human. These two qualities are almost extinct in Hollywood movies today.As far as their aberrant behavior, may the bridges they burn light the way.
The Arboretum has an interactive map on their web site. This map is found at the Arborway Gate.

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is an arboretum located in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections of Boston, Massachusetts. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and is the second largest "link" in the Emerald Necklace.
History
The Arboretum was founded in 1872 when the President and Fellows of Harvard College became trustees of a portion of the estate of James Arnold (1781–1868).
In 1842, Benjamin Bussey (1757–1842), a prosperous Boston merchant and scientific farmer, donated his country estate Woodland Hill and a part of his fortune to Harvard University "for instruction in agriculture, horticulture, and related subjects". Bussey had inherited land from fellow patriot Eleazer Weld in 1800 and further enlarged his large estate between 1806 and 1837 by acquiring and consolidating various farms that had been established as early as the seventeenth century. Harvard used this land for the creation of the Bussey Institute, which was dedicated to agricultural experimentation. The first Bussey Institute building was completed in 1871 and served as headquarters for an undergraduate school of agriculture.
Sixteen years after Bussey's death, James Arnold, a New Bedford, Massachusetts whaling merchant, specified that a portion of his estate was to be used for "...the promotion of Agricultural, or Horticultural improvements". In 1872, when the trustees of the will of James Arnold transferred his estate to Harvard University, Arnold’s gift was combined with 120 acres (0.49 km2) of the former Bussey estate to create the Arnold Arboretum. In the deed of trust between the Arnold trustees and the College, income from Arnold’s legacy was to be used for establishing, developing and maintaining an arboretum to be known as the Arnold Arboretum which "shall contain, as far as practicable, all the trees [and] shrubs ... either indigenous or exotic, which can be raised in the open air of West Roxbury". The historical mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to increase knowledge of woody plants through research and to disseminate this knowledge through education.
Charles Sprague Sargent was appointed director and Arnold Professor of Botany shortly after the establishment of the institution in 1872.[2] Together with landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted he developed the road and pathway system and delineated the collection areas by family and genus, following the then current and widely accepted classification system of Bentham and Hooker. The Hunnewell building was designed by architect Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, Jr. in 1892 and constructed with funds donated by H. H. Hunnewell in 1903. From 1946 to 1950 the landscape architect Beatrix Farrand was the landscape design consultant for the Arboretum. Her early training in the 1890s included time with Charles Sprague Sargent and chief propagator and superintendent Jackson Thornton Johnson.[3] Today the Arboretum occupies 265 acres (107 hectares) of land divided between four parcels, viz. the main Arboretum and the Peters Hill, Weld-Walter and South Street tracts. The collections, however, are located primarily in the main Arboretum and on the Peters Hill tract. The Arboretum remains one of the finest examples of a landscape designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and it is a Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site) and a National Historic Landmark.
Robert E. Cook is the seventh and current Director of the Arnold Arboretum. He is also the Director of the Harvard University Herbaria located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Status
The Arboretum is privately endowed as a department of Harvard University. The land, however, was deeded to the City of Boston in 1882 and incorporated into the so-called "Emerald Necklace". Under the agreement with the City, Harvard University was given a thousand-year lease on the property, and the University, as trustee, is directly responsible for the development, maintenance, and operation of the Arboretum; the City retains responsibility for water fountains, benches, roads, boundaries, and policing. The annual operating budget of $7,350,644 (fiscal year 2003) is largely derived from endowment, which is also managed by the University, and all Arboretum staff are University employees. Other income is obtained through granting agencies and contributors.
Location
The main Arborway gate is located on Route 203 a few hundred yards south of its junction with the Jamaicaway. Public transportation to the Arboretum is available on the MBTA Orange Line to its terminus at Forest Hills Station and by bus (#39) to the Monument in Jamaica Plain. The Arboretum is within easy walking distance from either of these points.
Hours
The grounds are open free of charge to the public from sunrise to sunset 365 days of the year. The Visitor's Center in the Hunnewell Building, 125 Arborway, is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; Sundays 12 p.m.–4 PM. The Visitor’s Center is closed on holidays. The Library, located in the Hunnewell Building, is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.. The Library is closed on Sundays and holidays. Stacks are closed and the collection does not circulate.
Area
Two hundred and sixty-five acres (107 hectares) in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections of Boston, Massachusetts, located at 42°19′N 71°5′W / 42.317°N 71.083°W / 42.317; -71.083, with altitudes ranging from 46 feet (15 m) in the meadow across the drive from the Hunnewell Building to 240 feet (79 m) at the top of Peters Hill.
Climate
Average yearly rainfall is 43.63 inches (1,102 mm); average snowfall, 40.2 inches (102 centimeters). Monthly mean temperature is 51.5 °F (10.8 °C); July's mean temperature is 73.5 °F (23 °C); January's is 29.6 °F (-1.3 °C). The Arboretum is located in USDA hardiness zone 6 (0 to −10 °F, −18 to −23 °C).
Collections (as of September 14, 2007)
At present, the living collections include 15,441 individual plants (including nursery holdings) belonging to 10,216 accessions representing 4,099 taxa; with particular emphasis on the ligneous species of North America and eastern Asia. Historic collections include the plant introductions from eastern Asia made by Charles Sprague Sargent, Ernest Henry Wilson, William Purdom, Joseph Hers, and Joseph Rock. Recent introductions from Asia have resulted from the 1977 Arnold Arboretum Expedition to Japan and Korea, the 1980 Sino-American Botanical Expedition to western Hubei Province, and more recent expeditions to China and Taiwan.
Comprehensive collections are maintained and augmented for most genera, and genera that have received particular emphasis include: Acer, Fagus, Carya, Forsythia, Taxodium, Pinus, Metasequoia, Lonicera, Magnolia, Malus, Quercus, Rhododendron, Syringa, Paulownia, Albizia, Ilex, Gleditsia and Tsuga. Other comprehensive collections include the Bradley Collection of Rosaceous Plants, the collection of conifers and dwarf conifers, and the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection. Approximately 500 accessions are processed annually.
Collections policy
The mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to increase our knowledge of the evolution and biology of woody plants. Historically, this research has investigated the global distribution and evolutionary history of trees, shrubs and vines, with particular emphasis on the disjunct species of East Asia and North America. Today this work continues through molecular studies of the evolution and biogeography of the floras of temperate Asia, North America and Europe.
Research activities include molecular studies of gene evolution, investigations of plant-water relations, and the monitoring of plant phenology, vegetation succession, nutrient cycling and other factors that inform studies of environmental change. Applied work in horticulture uses the collections for studies in plant propagation, plant introduction, and environmental management. This diversity of scientific investigation is founded in a continuing commitment to acquire, grow, and document the recognized species and infraspecific taxa of ligneous plants of the Northern Hemisphere that are able to withstand the climate of the Arboretum’s 265-acre (1.07 km2) Jamaica Plain/Roslindale site.
As a primary resource for research in plant biology, the Arboretum’s living collections are actively developed, curated, and managed to support scientific investigation and study. To this end, acquisition policies place priority on obtaining plants that are genetically representative of documented wild populations. For each taxon, the Arnold Arboretum aspires to grow multiple accessions of known wild provenance in order to represent significant variation that may occur across the geographic range of the species. Accessions of garden or cultivated provenance are also acquired as governed by the collections policies herein.
For all specimens, full documentation of both provenance and history within the collection is a critical priority. Curatorial procedures provide for complete and accurate records for each accession, and document original provenance, locations in the collections, and changes in botanical identity. Herbarium specimens, DNA materials, and digital images are gathered for the collection and maintained in Arboretum data systems and the herbarium at the Roslindale site.
Research
Research on plant pathology and integrated pest management for maintenance of the living collections is constantly ongoing. Herbarium-based research focuses on the systematics and biodiversity of both temperate and tropical Asian forests, as well as the ecology and potential for sustainable use of their resources. The Arboretum's education programs offer school groups and the general public a wide range of lectures, courses, and walks focusing on the ecology and cultivation of plants. Its quarterly magazine, Arnoldia, provides in-depth information on horticulture, botany, and garden history. Current Research Initiatives
Plant Records
Plant records are maintained on a computerized database, BG-BASE 6.8 (BG-Base Inc.), which was initiated in 1985 at the request of the Arnold Arboretum and the Threatened Plants Unit (TPU) of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC). A computerized mapping program (based on AutoCAD (Autodesk)) is linked to BG-BASE, and each accession is recorded on a series of maps at a scale of 1-inch (25 mm) to 20 feet (1:240) or 1-inch (25 mm) to 10 feet (1:120). A computer-driven embosser generates records labels. All accessioned plants in the collections are labeled with accession number, botanical name, and cultivar name (when appropriate), source information, common name, and map location. Trunk and/or display labels are also hung on many accessions and include botanical and common names and nativity. Stake labels are used to identify plants located in the Leventritt Garden and Chinese Path.
Grounds Maintenance
The grounds staff consists of the superintendent and assistant superintendent, three arborists, and ten horticultural technologists. A service garage is adjacent to the Hunnewell Building, where offices and locker rooms are located. During the summer months ten horticultural interns supplement the grounds staff. A wide array of vehicles and modern equipment, including an aerial lift truck and a John Deere backhoe and front loader, are used in grounds maintenance. Permanent grounds staff, excluding the superintendents, are members of AFL/CIO Local 615, Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Nursery and Greenhouse Facilities
The Dana Greenhouses, located at 1050 Centre Street (with a mailing address of 125 Arborway), were completed in 1962. They comprise four service greenhouses totaling 3,744 square feet (348 m²), the headhouse with offices, cold rooms, storage areas, and a classroom. Staffing at the greenhouse includes the manager of greenhouses and nurseries, the plant propagator, two assistants, and, during the summer months, two horticultural interns. Adjacent to the greenhouse is a shade house of 3,150 square feet (293 m²), a 12,600 cubic foot (357 m³) cold storage facility, and three irrigated, inground nurseries totaling approximately one and one-half acres (6,000 m²). Also located in the greenhouse complex is the bonsai pavilion, where the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection is displayed from the middle of April to the end of October. During the winter months the bonsai are held in the cold storage unit at temperatures slightly above freezing.
Isabella Welles Hunnewell Internship Program
The living collections department of the Arnold Arboretum offers a paid summer internship program [2] that combines hands-on training in horticulture with educational courses. Intern trainees will be accepted for 12- to 24-week appointments. Ten interns will work with the grounds maintenance department and two in the Dana Greenhouses.
As part of the training program, interns participate in mandatory instructional sessions and field trips in order to develop a broader sense of the Arboretum’s horticultural practices as well as those of other institutions. Sessions and field trips are led by Arnold staff members and embrace an open question and answer format encouraging all to participate. Interns often bring experience and knowledge that everyone, including staff, benefits from. It is a competitive-free learning environment.
Horticultural Apprenticeship
The Arboretum created the horticultural apprenticeship program in 1997 to provide hands-on experience in all aspects of the development, curation, and maintenance of the Arboretum's living collections to individuals interested in pursuing a career in an arboretum or botanical garden.
The Living Collections department of the Arnold Arboretum offers a summer internship program[4] that combines practical hands-on training in horticulture with educational courses. Fourteen Interns/Horticultural Trainees are accepted for twelve to twenty-four week appointments. Interns receive the majority of their training in one of three departments: Grounds Maintenance, Nursery and Greenhouse, or Plant Records.
Lilac Sunday
The second Sunday in May every year is "Lilac Sunday". This is the only day of the year that picnicing is allowed. In 2008, on the 100th anniversary of Lilac Sunday, the Arboretum website touted:
Of the thousands of flowering plants in the Arboretum, only one, the lilac, is singled out each year for a daylong celebration. On Lilac Sunday, garden enthusiasts from all over New England gather at the Arboretum to picnic, watch Morris dancing, and tour the lilac collection. On the day of the event, which takes place rain or shine, the Arboretum is open as usual from dawn to dusk.[5]
Associated Collections
The Arboretum's herbarium in Jamaica Plain holds specimens of cultivated plants that relate to the living collections (ca. 160,000). The Jamaica Plain herbarium, horticultural library, archives, and photographs are maintained in the Hunnewell building at 125 Arborway; however, the main portions of the herbarium and library collections are housed in Cambridge on the campus of Harvard University, at 22 Divinity Avenue.
Publications
The inventory of living collections is updated periodically and made available to sister botanical gardens and arboreta on request; it is also available on the Arboretum’s website (searchable inventory). Arnoldia, the quarterly magazine of the Arnold Arboretum, frequently publishes articles relating to the living collections. A Reunion of Trees[6] by Stephen A. Spongberg (curator emeritus) recounts the history of the introduction of many of the exotic species included in the Arobretum’s collections. New England Natives[7] written by horticultural research archivist Sheila Connor describes many of the trees and shrubs of the New England flora and the ways New Englanders have used them since prehistoric times. Science in the Pleasure Ground[8] by Ida Hay (former curatorial associate) constitutes an institutional biography of the Arboretum.
Institutional Collaborations
The Arboretum maintains an institutional membership in the American Public Garden Association (APGA) and the International Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta. Additionally, members of the staff are associated with many national and international botanical and horticultural organizations. The Arboretum is also a cooperating institution with the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC), and as an active member of the North American Plant Collections Consortium (NAPCC), it is committed to broadening and maintaining its holdings of: Acer, Carya, Fagus, Stewartia, Syringa, and Tsuga for the purposes of plant conservation, evaluation, and research. The Arboretum is also a member of the North American China Plant Exploration Consortium (NACPEC).

Есть ли у нас истинная вера в Господа?
Что такое истинная вера на самом деле
Как сформировать истинную веру в Бога
От каждого из нас, христиан, Бог прежде всего требует обладания подлинной верой. В Библии описано множество примеров людей, которые благодаря своей вере смогли увидеть чудные дела Божьи и получить Его благословение. У Моисея былавера в Бога и посредством Божьего водительства он смог преодолеть множество препон и ограничений Фараона, с успехом возглавив израильтян в их исходе из Египта. Авраам имел веру в Бога и был готов принести в жертву Богу своего единственного сына Исаака, и в конечном итоге Бог благословил его, позволив его потомкам размножиться и стать великими народами. У Иова была вера в Бога, и во время двух испытаний он сумел остаться твердым в свидетельстве о Боге; Бог благословил Его более, нежели прежде, и явился ему и говорил с ним из бури. Женщина Хананеянка в Евангелии от Матфея имела веру в Господа Иисуса, веря, что Он может изгнать злого духа из ее дочери; она обратилась к Господу Иисусу с просьбой, и недуг ее дочери была излечен. Нам, как христианам, крайне важно понимать истину относительно того, что такое истинная вера, что, не важно с какими трудностями мы сталкиваемся в нашей жизни — с провалами в бизнесе, жизненными неудачами, несчастьями в семье — мы можем полагаться на нашу веру и неотступно следовать за Богом, громогласно свидетельствуя о Нем и в конечном итоге обретая Его одобрение.
Есть ли у нас истинная вера в Господа?
Могут найтись некоторые братья и сестры, которые, услышав дискуссию о вере, с уверенностью заявят, что у них точно есть вера. «Я верю в Бога на 100%. Я всегда признаю Бога, этим подтверждается, что я верующий». «Я верю, что Господь Иисус есть наш Спаситель, и что Он был распят, чтобы искупить нас от наших грехов. Пока мы молимся и исповедуемся пред Господом, Он всегда простит нам наши грехи. Разве это не вера в Господа?» «Я был верующим все эти годы; Чтобы посвятить всего себя и свой труд Господу, я отказался от карьеры, семьи и работы. Я повсюду основывал церкви и много страдал, никогда не жалуясь. Это все проявления веры в Бога». Несомненно, мы верим в существование Бога, и это факт, что мы с энтузиазмом работаем и полностью посвящаем себя Господу, что мы страдаем и дорого расплачиваемся за Него. Но значит ли это, что у нас есть истинная вера в Бога? Данный вопрос касается всех нас, братьев и сестер, которые искренне верят в Господа и жаждут истины, исследуя и проводя беседы.
Возьмем для примера меня. С тех пор, как я стала христианкой, я всегда активно участвовала в собраниях, делилась благой вестью с другими и предлагала поддержку братьям и сестрам, испытывающим слабость в вере. Никакие трудности не могли помешать мне заниматься этим. Я более чем готова оставить земные блага, чтобы с энтузиазмом служить Господу, поэтому я считаю себя той, которая любит Господа, предана Ему и имеет веру в Него. Однако, когда я и члены моей семьи заболели, и наше состояние не улучшилось даже после того, как я некоторое время молилась, я впала в уныние и разочаровалась в Боге. Я даже пожаловалась Ему, что он не защищает меня и мою семью. То, что было открыто суровой истиной, заставило меня понять, что мне совершенно не хватает подлинной веры, и что моя вера основывалась только на фундаменте семейной гармонии и свободы от физических болезней или бедствий. Тем не менее, мой истинный духовный рост был открыт, как только произошло что-то нежелательное. Только тогда я действительно увидела, что моя вера в Бога была настолько ничтожна, что вызывала жалость — это в самом деле не то, чем стоит хвастаться. Глядя на братьев и сестер вокруг меня, я видела, что большинство из них были такими же. Некоторые, чтобы не пострадали их личные интересы, вообще перестают посещать церковные служения, когда они вступают в конфликт с их графиком домашних дел или работы. Другие могут молиться Господу и просить Его о выходе, когда они впервые зашли в тупик в попытках найти работу или в других аспектах, но если это по-прежнему остается нерешенной проблемой, у них растет недовольство Господом, и они могут даже впасть в уныние и разочароваться. Они начинают полагаться на друзей из своего окружения, которые выглядят влиятельными и авторитетными, или могут действовать, руководствуясь своими собственными соображениями. Есть также братья и сестры, которые, получив Господни благословения, с энтузиазмом участвуют во всех аспектах церковной работы, но когда у них дома происходит что-то ужасное, или же они сталкиваются с неудачами в бизнесе, они начинают жить, не понимая Господа и сетуя на Него, а то и вовсе отходят от Него.

What started it
Amara stood up, storming off to the edge of the bed. Here she was feeling bad for herself and Rico just acted like nothing had happened. "I'm not apologizing for giving an ungrateful bitch like you a vaccine to save your life…but don't expect treatment from the medics you're so fucking convinced are useless!" She started for the stairs. "Next time your dumbass decides to get deliberately infected, do the family a favor and stay away from the Den!"
Tanner 's ears twitched at this point, frowning as he looked over to Rico, feeling Amara's emotions still, sadness and maybe just a little anger. He shook his head at this point before letting out, "what the fuck did you do!" he lets out angrily as he tries to get himself up from the wall. His own mix up emotions weren't helping. He was volitile right now and Amara's emotions weren't helping in the least. He narrows his eyes a bit before limping over towards the other.
Rico didnt pay anymind to her. He didnt think the medics in general were useless. Sure he was mad she took forever but this could have been avoided if she didnt threaten him and then shock him 5 seconds after being shocked. He heard tanner and sighed "I asked her not to talk to me.....if she wants to shock me and threaten me then theres nor reason to talk to me.....So I told her not to speak to me" he shrugs as he wasnt going to apologize for anything he said she wouldnt stop talking to him so she made him say that. He knew she was probably going to tell alot of packies and they werent going to like him anymore but its just that way he assumed
(( Patman Ballinger: no*))
"News Flash jerk. When you disrespect an Elder, you get punished. I walked out on my wife to come here yesterday….I left her alone at a fucking restaurant, our private time after several days of working on different schedules…to run over here to treat Yvonne. And you send a rude, ungrateful text across the entire Pack channel because you didn't feel like waiting!" Amara paced around for a few seconds. "After all, that you go and jeopardize the treatment by deliberately kissing your infected lover…and I'm the bad one for giving you a vaccine?!"
Tanner 's ears flattened against his head at this point as he shook his head, taking a deep breath before murmuring out, "I don't know exactly what happened... but sounds like you're being an asshole Rico..." he lets out, looking to Amara, "I... I shouldn't stay here... I'm... just gonna make things worse..." he lets out, knowing he's getting angry and upset and more confused and depressed then he already is.
Rico shakes his head "Fine Im an asshole" he throws his hands in the air. "Look at me the biggest asshole ever " he hops down off the ledge and to the pool below and goes into the back of the part of the cave to be alone "The asshole will be downstairs if you need it" he said down and laid his head on the rock closing his eyes
Amara snarled, a more animalistic bellow than a hybrid feline would technically make. Fists clenched tight enough to draw blood, she'd storm after the sarcastic Rico. Now would be a smart time to hold her back…because after admitting all this sacrifice just to hear Rico blow it off like it meant nothing, Amara was not about to tell him off…oh no…she was ready to kill him.
Editor's note: *rings fight bell*
Tanner wouldn't hold her back though... he wasn't in a state of mind to do so... not with Amara's emotions as we as his own engulphing his mind. He clenched his fists and knawed his lip as he backed up some trying not to trip or anything as he tried to get away from Amara and her emotions before he did something that he'd regret. His heart was thumping in his chest before he shook his head and let out a loud scream before starting to sob softly, hands coming to his hair, injured shoulder aching a bit as he dropped to his knees trying to create an invisible sphere around himself like Alexandra was trying to teach him... it wasn't working though.
Rico heard the snarl but didnt think anything of it at the time. He scratched a his chin with a yawn before looking back at the wwater
Without Tanner to stop her, Amara jumped down to the pool, landing easily on her feet. The snarls never ceased to leave her lips, a challenging noise to the ears of panther. She'd prowl outside the grotto, snapping in a fit of loud growls and hissing, the sounds being the equivalent of curses deliberate enough to provoke Rico in their native feline dialect.
" You spineless ungrateful coward! If you want to run away from a conversation that badly, just say so!"
Rico was insulted at this and this was just nature but panthers werent an animal to turn down such calls. He angrily growled before turning over and walking through the falls to meet the call. He growled the yellow feline eyes on her as his claws came out. He opened his mouth in what almost looked like a smile but it was to show his canines in intimidations as he snarled back angrily
Amara knelt for a moment at the reply, not out of fear but merely bracing herself in case he charged. She raised her left hand, presenting her natural claws to the male as a message she would not be backing down to him. Her rank was important, and Amara had every intention of making that message clear in the hisses she returned.
Tanner tugged on his hair before shaking his head, shouting loudly, "STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!" His claws dug into his scalp as he growled out, tears slipping down his cheeks as his eyes became rimmed with crimson, pupils getting larger as he stared at the ground.
Rico crouched down snarling and snapping. He indeed had no doubt she wouldnt back down but neither was he. When he was created his scientist wanteed to see how far a panther could be fused into a human. So his willingness to accept a challege was high. He continued the showing of his canines ignoring the pleas to stop. Hisses escaped his lips as he looked at her . His body lowered but he wasnt going to charge first with his size one bad charge could take him out the fight
Patman Ballinger: ((Trans)) Im not backing down....You wanna fight me thenfine I tried to walk from this issue
Amara took advantage of this hesitation, lunging forward to attack his midsection. A quick sweep with her left hand lashed out at the male panther, both hand and tongue desiring blood. The howling reflected her disgust in him, again repeating taunting growls and roars intent to demean him. In the wild, such noises were reminiscent of a female disapproving a weaker suitor.
Amara Parmelee: ((trans)) You did nothing of the sort! You pouted and turned your back like some angry child at nursery. Pathetic...why did I waste my time trying to treat you at all?!
Rico started back before a burning came across his stomache. Fresh claw marks began to bleed which didnt make the male panther too happy. He snarled loudly his right hand camed down in a club like motion hoping to rake his sharp claws down the side of her cheek. A snarl given taunting the female panther that most would take as an insult to their sex in the big cat world. He wanted nothing more than to sink his teeth into her neck . He snapped again in her direction before giving a call as if he claimed superiority in this battle
Patman Ballinger: ((Trans))Now you insult me? And spill my blood...FINE..... I did not ask you to fight........I told you to leave me alone...But you keep on talking. I told you not to treat me so you wasted your own time I asked you not to!!!!!
Tanner 's fingers dug into his scalp as he just stared at the ground, breath coming out in short little gasps as his usually golden eyes became crimson, pupils getting bigger and smaller as he stared at the ground. His claws were finally removed from his scalp as he slowly got to his feet, eyes narrowed dangerously as he moved towards the stairs, limping slightly but not seeming to be in any pain anymore.
Amara was not about to let Rico actually mark her in this fight. She braced for the impact which sent her flying rudely into the waters of the pool. Sitting up immediately and panting heavily, Amara spit the bit of blood from her mouth that was caused by the bruising. Several hisses went let out in Rico's direction. Running some water over her face, she adjusted her stance, flicking her ears in retaliation at Rico's bold proclamation of victory. She launched herself in the air this time, intent on landing a swift right hook to his face.
Amara Parmelee: ((trans)) If you wished to die so badly, just say so weakling! I won't have you infecting the entire family for your fucking pride! I'll have you show some damn respect before this is over.
Rico snarled as his swipe hit but it was short lived as he saw her lunge. His head snappedto the side as he tumbled meeting not water but just more rock. He groaned as his body met the hard surface but he shook his head moving back into his stance. His face now with fresh claw marks he could let that go. He lunged forward upon getting up his face and belly burned but his right raised a claws attempting to slam and rake hard at the top of her heard and forehead heavy snarls as he did
(( Patman Ballinger: couldnt*))
Patman Ballinger: ((Trans)) I dont get infected like most. If I get a cold its small and its not serious. I respected you until you threaten me and shock me....You know im still shook from the last time I was left behind by packies *Swipe* But no instead of just leaving me be you want to be an aggressor....I refuse to kill you but ill defend myself and make sure its know you started this!!!!
arwen Eiren wanders into the den arms crossed over her chest , her small eyes widen as she could see the fight , ears pinningb back against her head standing there"m.....mama!"she saw Rico attacking her mama, She lets out a very feirce, more then she even knew she could do growl"LEAVE MY MAMA ALONE!!"she yells at the top of her lungs"LEAVE HER ALONE!!"She screams
Tanner
Tanner Blackheart: [[uuh -_-"]]
Patman Ballinger: ((Tanner great post lol))
Amara Parmelee: ((It moved me to tears, Tanner. Such powerful words...hahaha))
Tanner Blackheart: [[T_T ur so mean]]
Amara screamed as her hair was caught, the weight of Rico's arm throwing her sideways in the rocky walls. Trickles of blood ran down the side of her face as she heard Arwen's voice. For once, she went back to English. "Arwen, you stay back! I want you nowhere near this!" She pushed herself off the wall, hoping to land a strong blow to Rico's already injured midsection. The roars of defiance and her authoritative stance would speak volumes to the male panther.
Amara Parmelee: ((trans)) Learn well, Rico! This is a pack, not a pride. The elders and leads are to be respected, not taken for granted with they are most convenient for you! You insulted the medics of this family and I will not stand for it! I've tried to be supportive and yet all you're done is behave like an infant!
Patman Ballinger: ((Yea me an amara are friends again it was such an inspiration lol jk
arwen Eiren: (damn i didnt see tanner's post)
Zhin Murakami wakes up, she streches and yawns looking around if she was alone. Zhin touches a spot behind her left ear and a mask morphes out her chaw around her mouth and nose, the last hing she remembered before she felt aslepp, was hearing Amara saying something about a virus.
Tanner had since moved down the stairs, ears plastered on his face and an almost strained, maybe pained expression on his face. He wasn't in pain, however, just fighting... with himself as he moved towards the fighting. His eyes went immidiately to Arwen as he growled out, "If you have your phone... call the pack now... tell them to get their asses here before the den gets smeared with blood..." he says, not seeming to care that his words might scare the child. He turned to Rico and Amara at this point and growled low in his throat, claws out, blood dripping down the sides of his face from the wounds he'd inflicted on himself, crimson eyes getting darker.
arwen Eiren pulls out her pda , pushing a button on it and screams into it top of her lung"RICO AND MAMA MARA TEARING EACH OTHER UP! NEED HELP!THEY WONT STOP FIGHTING!"
Rico moved forward to follow up his hand coming down again clawing at the top of her head again as another burn emerged from his midsection. New claw bloody marks emerging. The stupidest thing someone could do what intervene in a big cat fight. They were fights that couldnt be broken up and could get the one breaking it hurt. He snarled the pain in his stomacheand lower section growing. He roared out bringing his hand up turning waiting for her next attack
Patman Ballinger: ((Trans))I didnt insult the medics. the medics have my respect for the ones I have met. Notice my comments were to you not the medical staff. I said leave me be....LKeave me be........But now you come to fighting. i understand respect but yea anger and worry can make a person abit angry. Now look your cub pleads for you to stop but instead you want to fight.
arwen Eiren heart races as she waits for someone to come help to knock sense into the two fighting. Her little heart raced, she started breathing quickly"stop fightging stop fighting!"she growls , her eyes watering up"DONT HURT MY MOMMY!!"
Zhin Murakami comes downstairs following the fighting noises, she sees Amara and Rico fighting? What the.. she tabs Tanner at his shoulder "What is going on?!" Looking over to Arwen seeing the kid all frighten
Amara kept her body low to the ground before swinging a leg out to trip him. The roars only got louder as if trying to drown out any voice of reason. This was beyond a personal fit for her; this was the natural way of showing her stance on this issue. Wild howls filled every corner of the den as Amara explained herself in a tongue only Rico would understand.
Amara Parmelee: ((trans)) How quickly you forget your words from yesterday. "Fuck it…I'll do what little I can do since no one cares." Of course we cared! We've always cared! But no, you were too stuck up in your own damn impatience to see it! To hell with earlier, that's why I yelled at you yesterday and for your rude remarks, that's why you were shocked!
I'll comfort Arwen after this…after you apologize for trampling over our sacrifices! Mitka was traumatized from her attack and is still in training. Tanner was tortured by the UAC just a few days ago! I was with my wife…I'm sorry it took so long, but you have no right to look down on someone's attempt to help you!
Tanner knew he couldn't let their fight continue much longer... his own fight getting difficult. He couldn't hold the other back much longer if this continued but even considering leaving made it ten times worse to fight the other so he gave up on that idea completely as his eyes narrowed. It was either stop them from fighting... or better yet... knock at least one of them out before all hell broke loose... The moment he felt a tap on his shoulder, however, his eyes narrowed and he wipped around, claws going straight for Zhin's chest as he growls out loudly, eyes getting even darker.
arwen Eiren sdcreaming top her lungs"STOP FIGHTING!"her body shook breathing quickly smelling her mama mara's blood, ears pinned back against her head"no more no more!!FAMILY DONT FIGHT!!!!"She sways as she stands
Rico got off balance from her foot and snarled as he didnt trip fully seeing he was on all fours. He backed away shaking his head as his cheek and stomache bled. His snarls and roars echoeing loudly in return to hers a form of panther speaking that they only could understand
Patman Ballinger: ((Trans)) That noone was directed to you not that it makes my words better. From what I saw you were the only medic with a fucking pda ON!!!. I know tanner was gone !!!
Akiel Martian came running in catching the sight before him, emerald hued eyes shifting already into that darkened feral jade, "..ah 'ell na..", he shook his head, "..this'll na do..", his left mechanical arm raised, coming to be pointed upon Mara and Rico. the arm straightened and that small latch at the palm would open, his right, moved for its respective cerberus gun, "..cover yer ears, Arwen..", he said as he pulled it and raised it high, and ear splitting shot of a fifty cal depleted uranium shell would go off, resonatting the air about them with the sound, Syle's ears flattened agains his head before he growled out, "..S'ENOUGH ALL O' YE'S!!"
Jayde Rasmuson enters and observes the situation at hand.. walking closer to Arwen she puts her hand on the little one's head, a gesture that had become familiar with her. Taking morenote to Amara, Jaydesucked in a deep breath then exhaled.. looking about to the others, emerald glance finally resting 'pon Syle, who was.. fuckin' shit up.. oh shit! Jayde kind of ducked then watched the effect this had..
Zhin Murakami is a little surprised at Tanners move, as his claws dig into her chest she reaches up with her left mechanic hand griping around his wrist, she looks straight into his eyes, purring softly "Shhh..." then she heard Syle yelling and autmaticly ducks pulling Tanner down with her.
Amara let out a last minute reply, her tail hairs flaring angrily as she sounded more like a large angry domestic cat before the sound of Syle's gun shut her up. The blood dripping from her forehead didn't seem to bother her though the immediate ringing in her ears was a different story. Her hands rose to cover her ears from the stinging. "…was deafening us really necessary?" she whimpered.
Amara Parmelee: ((trans)) I was saying goodbye to my lover whom I haven't had a proper sit down with in days! It's not like I just got the message and ran off; we were having a meal…Tanner's PDA was destroyed, and even if he could hear the feed, he was in no position to help!
arwen Eiren hears the gun going off and lets out a scream, and then well between watching her mom fighting , hearing the gun go off, the poor 5 year old fainted
Rico snarls his ears slam down against his head as thee sound of the gun erupts. His cheek and belly were bleeding but his panther communication continued
Patman Ballinger: ((trans))I didnt know you were with her!!! Ok im sorry but I lost alot and It got to me when it seemed like she was dying!!!! So dont turn the whole medic team on me when I spoke to you....And I know tanner wasnt on the line so you were the only one i was speaking to......Now ya daughter needs you more than this fight
Rennat would have winced as he's grabbed by the wrist and pulled down but this wasn't Tanner anymore... this was Rennat who felt no pain. He stared into Zhin's eyes as she shushed him, dark crimson eyes focusing on her and nothing else. He focused his mind on her, blocking out some of the emotions from the other's, dark eyes getting a bit lighter as he gives a bit of an almost pained expression, still fighting the other personality back. He winced quite a bit, tensing against the other at the shot, ears ringing as he growls out.
[12:55] Tanner Blackheart: [[Tanner would have not Rennat would have -_-"]]
Akiel Martian: "When it seem that no one be listenin' ta a worried child n' oi get a text, aye oi think it be..", he said and lowered the gun, wagging it between Rico and Amara with his next words, "..what the fuck be all this about, we're supposed ta be family n' oi walk in ta ye' both tearin' at one another..", he holstered the cerberus gun. Mechanical left arm lowering too as the latch closed, "..what's all this, y'all two have beef, ye' should'na be scrappin' in the den..ye' be scarrin' the wee ones.."
Zhin Murakami slowly straightens up after Syles shoot, her right ear rings and is flaten on the head, she pulls Tanner up wither, her mech hand gripping his right wrist like a bench vice. She continues staring at him, noticing the change in his eyes she purrs softly again "Shhhhhh...."
Amara backed away, moving to check on the collapsed Arwen. "Sweetheart…Arwen…are you alright?" She didn't feel any now pains, so she knew she had not been shot. Ignoring Syle a moment, she mews her final response to Rico. They had reached a relative understanding though no one understood that. She'd gotten the apology she'd been after and the male knew now why she'd been so cross. Not the traditional means of talking things out. "It was in regards to some events concerning yesterday. We've settled it for the most far though. Sometimes, between panthers, it's easier the converse that way. I'm sorry for scaring any of ya…"
Amara Parmelee: ((trans)) If you read your messages again you would have seen my reply "I'm in Madres with Adagio...but I'll head over to the den now." *walks to Arwen* I would never turn the family against you over a petty argument like this, but I'd appreciate if you thought a little better of us.
arwen Eiren had a huge bump on her forehead a bit passedout to respond at the moment, poor kid got the hell scaredout of her
Rico shakes his head free of blood before dipping it in the water. The had worked it out abit and Rico got how he felt out and gave his sorry. He did like having other panthers in the pack to the fact they could talk in their own way but only bad that their language no matter what will look hostile. He dipped his head in the water a sting aas he felt his face stretched when he opened his mouth gettin g a few sips of water. He sighed gave one last few growls before coming uo and sitting on rock
Patman Ballinger: ((Trans)) Im sorry......Its just been a bad run of events.....Hope ovetime this issue heals
Rennat 's heart was racing as he continues to fight back the other personality, the battle getting easier as he focuses on Zhin, though he could still feel the quickly dimming anger coming from the two who'd been fighting but his focus was on Zhin, not seeming bothered by the grip on his wrist, though still seeming to 'wince' every now and then as he continued to fight with the darker personality. Thank god Arwen had managed to get help... or things could have ended badly.
Akiel Martian frowned, shaking his head, "..will take a whole lot more ta scare me than two brawlin' Panthers..", in truth, male panther hybrids worried him, always, Dax was one and Rico another, Panthers were strong cats and possibly the only spcies of Hybrid able to go toe to toe with Syle. The Wolf had size and strength and if it wasnt for that, well. He certainly would have to be worried then, he looked from Amara to Rico, and frowned, he shook his head. Then looked to Tanner, "..oi dun' feel like seein' Rennat ta'day lad..ye' keep 'im locked away nice n' tight.."
Zhin Murakami nods at Syles words, she was glad the fight was over. Zhin holds her gaze straight for Tanners eyes purring deeper as she tightens the grip on his wrist a little more once more she hushes at him "Shhhhhh..." her eyes glowing.
Amara cradled the child in her bruised arms, the blood covered claws long retracted. "It was not out of violence if that explains it further. Just a really primal form of a heart to heart." She sighed as she held Arwen, a long hiss and low growling spoken to Rico again ending in a faint smile. "Still, two Pack members fighting is not something to be encouraged. As the Medic Lead and as an elder, I should know this."
Amara Parmelee: ((trans)) I'd like to help you if you'd just let me…I know how
horrible it can be to be held powerless and captive in a cell…tortured to the point of madness. We can talk another time…when you are ready that is.
Rico listens to the growls and nods his head giving a growl in return. He shakes his head rapidly his hair sending water and blood that dripped from it flying. He stretched his tail swung slowly as he looked around then back to his claws covered in blood and strands of hair. He began to pull at them cleaning them as he sat there
Patman Ballinger: ((trans)) Yea whenevers' fine...But now les both calm down and you can make sure your cubs is ok
arwen Eiren groans her blue eyes flickering opening letting out a yelp hand to her head she starts to cry
Rennat 's ears twitches at Syle's words as he lets out a bitter laugh, "sorry... but Tanner's not in control... hasn't been since shortly after those two morons started fighting... It's not me you should be worried about though... Just be glad i'm around to stop 'the other one' from paying you all a visit..." he lets out, having finally looked away from Zhin, eyes now Rennat's usual crimson color though his heart was still racing as he speeks again, "It may be best if Tanner stays away from the pack for a while... if things like this are going to happen... it's not safe for him or for you... Not till he's got things worked out."
Akiel Martian looked them all over again, sighing, from Amara behind him to Rico, to Zhin and Tanner, "..glad that be over at least..", he said shaking his head, if that was talking, he wondered for a moment, if Keira, with her desire to always have a scrap with Syle, was her way too, of talking? Was there a message to be read in the way, Keira faught? Strange as it would seem, but Amara and Rico, had given Syle something to think on, mayhaps sometimes, later, he would pull one of them aside and ask to learn more on Panther type Hybrids. It could help him with his own, oddly chaotic relationship, "..aye, Mara, ye' should..as should Rico..", his voice was calm, soft, there was no blame being pointed at anyone, "..mayhaps next time, ye' both need a heart ta heart it could be..away from the wee ones eyes?", he certainly wasnt one to go against instinct. After all it was what kept Syle alive this long, instinct, "..oi gotta go, y'all..please..stay safe..", he said before moving, "..aye, dun wanna see that one either..", he said plainly to Tanner before walking out.
Amara immediately tried to calm the child. "It's okay. I'm right here, Arwen." She'd rock back and forth gently to assure Arwen the dust had settled. She'd only nod to Rico, agreeing that the argument of sorts was over. "Rennat…kindly don't call us morons. And if Tanner's mind needs a break from the family and what not for a while, please go ahead and leave. We had no intention of harming tanner nor sparking you to the surface." She groaned at Syle's words, but knew that if her own elders were here, they'd be furious with her.
arwen Eiren buries her head into Amara's shoulder and clings, little tears rolling down her cheeks "no more fighting."
Rico groans as his wound stretch when he lays down. He yawns hanging his leg and arm over into the water and looks around "We need a tree in here" he mumbles before closing his eyes just resting for a moment but nit sleeping
Zhin Murakami looks from Tanner to Syle and back. Slowly she lets go of Tanners wrist, looking down on her chest, she curses as the green was darkened with blood, she did not notice till now. "Dammit, this suit was only a few days old" she grumbles to her self, then she looks up saying loud "Everybody ok so far?"
arwen Eiren looks up" Kitty scratching post?I can buy one uh huhs."
Rennat looks calmly over to Amara, heart beat starting to return to normal as he lets out calmly, "sorry... still a bit tense. We need to keep stuff like that away from Tanner right now... a new, very dangerous, personality has 'appeared' and it's not a friendly one. His name is Tearnn... and he will tear and anyone or anything that's in the vicinity," he explains as he moves to stand slowly, looking to Zhin, "sorry for attacking you."
Tanner Blackheart: [[at anyone]]
Amara shook her head, pausing to pull a cleansing wipe from her bag. "No..no..I know what it looked like but we weren't fighting; we were arguing at best. Mommy's a panther, and that fighting you saw was how panthers argue or voice their opinions. It's not the most civil of sights." She'd hug the girl tightly before attempting to clean her forehead. "Rico, try the beams of the ruined building rather than a tree in here. The city ledges are good also for relaxing." Rennat's description was disturbing at best. "Where did this persona grow from? The UAC attacks…or is it better not to ask?"
That had to be one my most enjoyable RPs to date
www.anglesey-today.com/llynnon-mill.html
And an adjoining prehistoric settlement .
I edited the other shots to remove minor flaws , like dust and scratches , but I like how this looked like an old postcard straight out of the camera.
Trying new things , dusted off my old Kiev 88 medium format film camera ( a Soviet copy of a Hasselblad 1600) from about 1990 and tried out some new (old) lenses on it.
A Zodiac-8 (30mm fisheye lens) , a Volna-3 (80mm standard lens) and a Kalinar-3 (150mm short telephoto ) . Got a few more lenses on the way .
These cameras from the former Soviet union do have a reputation for terrible quality control at the factories , they build the camera , you tweak it to get it working right !
First two roll's of film I put though it are out of date , but sort of came out O.K .......
The black and white film was in a 6x4.5cm back and leaked light from the dark slide slot like a sieve !!!
Replacement parts have arrived from Hasselblad .
The developed film also had unusual scratches on them that need investigating , but overall still usable.
Adjustment is also needed to set it up better for long fast lenses .
Dusted off my old 120 roll film scanner from 2001 and it actually worked on Windows 7 !
Set it up on a "medium" resolution and it churned out a huge 170mb file , compared to the 24mb RAW files from my Sony a900 .
The scan output was set at approx. a 70 megapixel equivalent .
Still looked good but way bigger than needed !
For more information, see
www.ounodesign.com/floor-pillows.html
These pillows are made from fabric produced at one of a few last traditional indigo workshops in Kyoto, Japan, using shibori resist-dyeing with authentic hand-produced indigo dye, some of the best indigo dye in the world. See the paragraph at bottom for more information.
Shibori is the Japanese technique of resist dyeing, a very sophisticated form of tye dye that dates from the 8th C or earlier for the decoration of kimonos, cushions and quilts. The required design is securely tied or stitched onto the fiber before it is dyed. These large textile squares were produced at Aizenkobo Dyer's Workshop, one of the last traditional studios in Japan still doing their own authentic indigo-dyeing by hand. Each pillow top is made from a collectible square of shibori - these were produced for decorative purposes or for fancy furoshiki, which are the squares of cloth produced as wrappings for gifts and tied with elaborate decorative tying methods. Each one is a collector's item.
The other side of each pillow is made from an authentic japanese indigo "noren" or doorway curtain, in very similar indigo tones. While more common than the top piece, these are excellent examples of noren brought back from Japan in March.
________________________________________________________________________________
From the Aizenkobo website:
"Aizenkobo is an indigo-dyeing workshop that has been in operation for three generations. Aizenkobo produces and promotes indigo handicraft work using the traditional Japanese method. Its "eggplant" blue is impossible to reproduce with artificial chemical pigments. Natural indigo has been considered a valuable blue dyeing material for centuries. It can be extracted from the fiber of several different plants.In Japan, the only useable indigo plant is polygonum, which is well-known for its outstanding deep color. Fermented polygonum, the dye pigment, is called "sukumo." In addition to the "sukumo," wheat husk powder, limestone powder, lye ash, and sake are also mixed into the vats to complete the liquid dye. Then for approximately a week, the dye naturally begins to ferment until it reaches its usable state. Indigo threads and materials--specifically cotton and linen--are generally soaked and dried 15 to 20 times. This is the only way to deepen the color. The dyed thread and materials are sun-dried, which is when the deep indigo blue appears most strongly on the fiber surface. Indigo also strengthens the material. Indigo dyeing is considered one of the most beautiful dyeing techiniques known to man. Indigo dyed materials soften with use, and the quality of the color's richness increases with time."

Broken seats in the squatted, abandoned stadium of former football club AD Cerro de Reyes, which went bankrupt in the early 2010s: El José Pache de Badajoz ya es un solar.
Whether to spend the money on tearing the whole thing down has been a hot potato in local politics ever since. In its reporting last year, La Cronica de Badajoz sketched a friendly portrait of one of the 15 squatters, Susana, who described their day-to-day life as calm and "very civilized": El estadio de fútbol José Pache cumple ocho años de abandono.
I hadn't seen that second article when I checked out the place, and didn't know anything about squatters. My experience was rather different.
First I came up from one side, surprised to find a gate that could easily be unlocked. But I saw some guys from afar and thought they were security guards, so I went around another way. Took some pics, like this one, from over the wall and eventually came around to the main entrance, which was wide open. Okay. Lingered outside for a bit to take a couple of pictures of advertisement signs. A man who drove past in a car waved at me, not unfriendly.
Encouraged, I peeked inside — to find, to my surprise, a chicken coop on the left behind the entrance, and an improvised sitting area to the right — a couch, a chair. Started walking on to the pitch. Guy in a car drove out past me and waved at me — definitely friendly, this time. Some bits of the grass on the far left side, up near the wall, were on fire. Then some guys from the far side of the grounds — too far to make out at all, really — yelled at me. I shrugged until a dog came running at me, barking — so when it got to 20-30 meters from me I turned around and ambled back out; indicating I posed no threat and was on my way out already, but was also not running for some guilty reason.
That seemed to work: I was back out through the gate and already halfway up the side to the main road before the dog and his owner showed up under the gate, yelling at me. I turned around and gestured 'no worries, I'm out already'. But he called out to "come here, come here," and seemed gruff but not hostile. I've dealt with that before — from the Jobbik-looking guys at Köki to the guy with the van on Diószegi utca in Nyócker, and a fair bunch of others. They look intimidating but just wanna know what you're up to — and if you're friendly and explain without attitude it's usually fine; sometimes you even get an interesting convo.
Not this time. "Your dog gave me a fright," I tried jovially, and suddenly he started screaming at me — at high volume and high speed. I understood nothing. "I'm going already, I'm going," I tried saying and turned away and suddenly it was a whirlwind, the guy setting his dog on me, barking all around me — I started running, the guy came after me, hitting me or trying to hit me with some kind of leash, while the dog was at my feet.
I stumbled, scratched my hands and knees, but came away with nothing but a fright otherwise — he didn't follow me to the sidewalk of the main road and to be sure I quickly crossed to the other side. So, okay. That didn't go well. I guess you get a different reception when you're a journalist. And if I'd known squatters lived there I wouldn't have bothered them, but — I didn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

U2 - No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oKwnkYFsiE&feature=related
There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

Εισαγωγή
Χριστιανικό μουσικό ντοκιμαντέρ | Αυτός που κυριαρχεί επί των πάντων | Μαρτυρεί την παντοδυναμία και την κυριαρχία του Δημιουργού (Greek Subtitles)
Στο απέραντο σύμπαν, όλα τα ουράνια σώματα κινούνται με ακρίβεια στην τροχιά τους. Κάτω από τον ουρανό, όλα τα βουνά, τα ποτάμια και οι λίμνες είναι οριοθετημένα και όλα τα πλάσματα ζουν και αναπαράγονται κατά τη διάρκεια των τεσσάρων εποχών σύμφωνα με τους νόμους της ζωής.... Τα πάντα έχουν σχεδιαστεί με τέτοια λεπτότητα — υπάρχει ο Ισχυρός Θεός που κυβερνά και οργανώνει τα πάντα; Από τότε που ερχόμαστε σε αυτόν τον κόσμο κλαίγοντας, παίζουμε διαφορετικούς ρόλους στη ζωή. Μεταβαίνουμε από τη γέννηση στο γήρας, στην ασθένεια, στον θάνατο, ζούμε μεταξύ χαράς και λύπης.... Από πού προέρχονται πράγματι οι άνθρωποι και πού πράγματι οδεύουμε; Ποιος κυβερνά τη μοίρα μας; Από την αρχαιότητα ως τη σύγχρονη εποχή, μεγάλα έθνη έχουν ακμάσει, δυναστείες έχουν έλθει και παρέλθει, και οι χώρες και οι λαοί έχουν προοδεύσει και χάθηκαν στον ρου της ιστορίας.... Όπως οι νόμοι της φύσης, έτσι και οι νόμοι της εξέλιξης της ανθρωπότητας περιέχουν άπειρα μυστήρια. Θα θέλατε να μάθετε τις απαντήσεις σε αυτά; Το ντοκιμαντέρ Αυτός που κυριαρχεί επί των πάντων θα σας καθοδηγήσει για να φτάσετε στη ρίζα τους, για να αποκαλύψετε όλα αυτά τα μυστήρια!

The story so far: The Dreamer loses his Pearl in a grassy mound - evidently her grave. He swoons with grief, and awakens in an earthly paradise, through which there runs a beautiful stream. The land on the opposite bank seems even more beautiful. He wanders further down the stream, hoping to find a bridge or a ford. Just when he starts to become afraid of the dangers that may be in store for him, he sees a young woman sitting at the foot of a crystal cliff on the opposite bank, and instantly recognises her as his lost Pearl. He hails his Pearl and expresses his relief that she still exists, but she begins to reprove him for his lack of faith. She criticises him for only believing that her soul is immortal now that he can see her, and is shocked by his suggestion that he - a mortal man - has a hope of joining her in Paradise without first experiencing death. He tells her that for him to walk away from her now that he has found her again would be to suffer a fresh bereavement. She replies that it is divinely decreed that he cannot cross over to her. The Dreamer pleads with his Pearl to accept that his rash questions were borne out of his great grief, and asks her to describe her life in Paradise. She relents, and tells him that she is crowned Queen of Heaven, and is married to the Lamb. The Dreamer is shocked by this assertion. He says that he thought only the Virgin Mary was Queen of Heaven. Pearl replies with a description of a-semi egalitarian heaven in which all inhabitants are kings and queens, and asserts that although Mary has pre-eminence, none of those in heaven would ever question it, because she is so “courteous”. She cites the Pauline notion that the church is the body of Christ in support of her claim. The Dreamer is even less convinced than before. He wonders how she can have been instantly crowned a Queen of Heaven when she was on the earth for less than two years. She replies at length, citing the parable of the labourers in the vineyard as justification for her rapid advancement in the kingdom of Heaven. She continues to retell the parable, and concludes by insisting that like the workers who worked less than two hours in the vineyard, she was first in line for God’s reward when she reached Heaven. The Dreamer cannot understand. Surely, he argues, those who have endured a lifetime’s pain and temptation must have precedence. She responds that those who die as children die innocent, whereas those who have lived longer are more likely to be tainted by the world, and argues that the Dreamer is underestimating the grace of God. She continues by expounding a series of Biblical texts on the theme of righteousness and justification, culminating with the scene from the gospels in which Christ welcomes the children, and reproves his disciples for attempting to repel them. She continues to expound on this theme, reminding the Dreamer that Christ insisted that one must become like a little child in order to approach him. The Dreamer admits that she is stupendously beautiful, but wonders how she can have won the title of Queen and bride of Christ, in the face of stiff competition: all those other women who have gone to heaven. Her reply draws upon the Old Testament prophets and the Book of Revelation: the Lamb which was slain in Jerusalem will return to govern the New Jerusalem as its King, with a company of a hundred and forty-four thousand wives – one of whom is the Pearl. She begins to describe the state of bliss experienced by all the brides of the Lamb.
Pearl: Part 15
“Jerusalem’s Lamb bears no tint
Of any pigment but pure white.
No spot or stain adheres to it –
The wool luxuriant and bright.
Each soul that never bore a spot
Becomes the Lamb’s stainless wife,
And there is no place for spite
Among our thousands – blessed with life:
Each thousand, multiplied by five,
Would only make us praise and bless
The more. In a host, love can thrive
And wax in honour, never less.
None of us is less in bliss
Who bears a pearl upon her breast.
Those whom a spot belies,
With pearls or crowns are never blessed.
Although our corpses are clad in clods
And you are grieving without rest,
We have new life beyond old loss
And in one death place all our trust:
The Lamb our joy, from cares released,
Moved to delight at every Mass –
And each bride’s bliss is brightest, best
Of all – none is honoured any the less.
You give less credence to my tale
Than you should. Look in the Apocalypse:
‘I say,’ says John, ‘the Lamb stands tall
On Mount Zion, is lovely, and thrives,
A hundred thousand in his trail –
Forty four thousand more than this!
And on their foreheads, true to tell:
The Lamb’s name, and the Father’s –
A choir from Heaven uplifts and sings
Like overflowing rivers, floods
And thunder rumbling in the clouds –
A rising clamour, and never less.
Nevertheless, though that shout is sharp
And though the myriad voice is loud,
A new sound makes my spirits leap.
To listen is to love: a great cloud
Of spirits plucking upon harps,
The new song clearly declaimed
In discourse sonorous and steep:
Harmonies, melodies, undefiled
Before God’s throne – a flood
Of song. Four beasts bow and bless;
The aldermen, the grave and good,
Sing it loudly, and never less.
Nevertheless, none is so skilled in song
For all the craft they might possess
That they could sing the slightest strain
Of that hymn – except for those
Of the Lamb’s company, the earth’s slain:
First fruits, set aside as God’s –
The Lamb’s treasures, kept from spoiling,
Like him in colour, clad in clothes
Of Heaven, dressed in truth and love’s
Assurance. Their sweet tongues confess:
Their spotless, indissoluble, heavenly lives
Are in their matchless Master – never less.’”
“Nevertheless, I cannot help but thank
You, Pearl,” I say, “though I chose
To question heavenly wisdom with rank
Worldliness. To Christ’s chamber you arose
While I floundered in mud and muck,
And you sprang up so rich – a rose,
A living bloom on this blissful bank,
Where delight’s angels never close
Their eyes on the beauty I must lose:
My fleeting hind. How can I express
My worldly thoughts, rough-hewn and coarse?
Yet grant me one boon, nevertheless...”
Late fourteenth century poem, written in a north-west midland dialect of Middle English, paraphrased by Giles Watson. This section of the poem is one stanza longer than the others. Some editors have suggested that the second stanza is not original, although I think the third is a more likely candidate, since it repeats material from section 14. However, if all six stanzas are included, the poem has 101 stanzas. So does Sir Gawain and the Green Knight – an attractive argument for authenticity, given that the poet was so meticulous in his deployment of structural devices. Pearl’s descriptions of heavenly life are drawn from the Book of Revelation and Ezekiel.

Benedictine sisters to shutter midtown monastery
By Johanna Willett Arizona Daily Star
20160927
For about 75 years, the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have called the monastery at 800 N. Country Club Road home.
But no more.
This past weekend, the sisters announced to volunteers, benefactors and other friends that the monastery will shut its doors within the next two years.
“It was a difficult decision to come to, but it has to do with basically a fewer number of sisters today and the fact that everyone is aging,” said Sister Joan Ridley, superior of the Tucson Monastery. “We don’t have many newer members, so we want to regroup forces and consolidate sisters in one spot.”
The 16 Tucson sisters are part of a larger congregation based in Clyde, Missouri. Including the Tucson nuns, there are about 65 sisters, Ridley said.
Leadership at both sites has worked toward this decision for about a year with the hope that consolidation will revitalize the aging order.
The decision is still too new for the sisters to say for sure whether all will leave Tucson for Clyde. Some of the nuns have lived here for about 25 years, Ridley said.
Stay or go, they will all have to develop a few new habits. The sisters plan to sell the property, which is about 7 acres between East Speedway and East Fifth Street.
“We may be in touch with some other national Catholic organizations that purchase property and convert it to senior housing or things like that,” Ridley said. “Our first desire is that it would be used for the good of seniors and stay within the religious tradition.”
The Tucson convent’s history as documented on its website begins in 1935 with an invitation from Diocese of Tucson Bishop Daniel Gercke to the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. Until the completion of the Tucson Monastery in 1940, the sisters lived in the Steinfeld Mansion , 300 N. Main Ave. Architect Roy Place designed the current monastery.
“The Benedictine Sisters have been a blessing and gift in our community since 1935,” said Bishop Gerald Kicanas of the Diocese of Tucson in a prepared statement. “They have held us in prayer and opened their home to us all. … They cannot imagine the impact they have had on us, not just as Catholics but all in our community.”
Valencia orange and date palm trees dot the property, along with an ancient avocado tree that Ridley suspects is one of the oldest in Tucson.
The sisters sell soaps, salves and lotions and make liturgical vestments, or clothing.
Every day, the monastery holds four services in its chapel, along with Mass on Sunday.
“We’re very sad,” Ridley said. “It’s a real loss to the city of Tucson and the people that we have grown to love and who love us.”

The paternal great-grandfather, grandfather and father of G. K. Chesterton were engaged in the business of selling houses (estate agents as they are called in England). His father, Edward, married Marie Grosjean, whose family had long been English, but had originally come from French Switzerland. They had three children, Gilbert, born on May 29, 1874, Cecil, five years his junior, and Beatrice, who died in childhood.
Gilbert's father distinguished between living and making a living: a successful businessman, he had a dozen hobbies, not the least of them the making of a toy-theatre, and he was widely read, especially in English literature.
A happy childhood in a happy home laid the foundation for Gilbert's sane and sensible outlook on life. As a little boy he read fairy tales; as a big boy he wrote and illustrated them, some of which are preserved in his book The Coloured Lands. Gilbert first attended Colet Court School, entering St. Paul's as a day student when he was twelve. The reports on him for his six years there (1887-92) were that he was a good boy but an indifferent student, a dreamer, interested chiefly in drawing and English literature. In his "dramatic journal,"kept irregularly from his sixteenth year, he dramatized scenes from Scott and burlesqued portions of Shakespeare. He later acknowledged the strong influence on his youthful formation made by the Junior Debating Club, of which he was chairman. It met weekly at the home of one of its dozen teenage members and, following tea, one of them read a paper which was then debated. In the issues of its organ, The Debater, his first prose and verse were printed; his essays on Milton, Pope, Gray, Cowper, Burns, and Wordsworth being noteworthy. In his last year at St. Paul's (1892), he entered a competition for a prize poem (on St. Francis Xavier), and won it. From 1892 to 1895 he studied art at the Slade School and during part of the time he attended lectures on English literature at University College. A fellow-student whose family controlled the publishing firm of Hodder & Stoughton gave him some art books to review in the firm's monthly, The Boohman. And upon leaving Slade, he entered the office of a publisher of spiritualistic literature and later the office of the general publisher, Fisher Unwin. There he began to write Greybeards at Play as well as to revise, edit and counsel the works of others.
At St. Paul's Gilbert formed lifelong friendships with the future writer Edmund C. Bentley and with Lucian Oldershaw. In 1896 Lucian was courting Ethel Blogg (anglicized from Blogue) and took Gilbert with him to call. At first sight he fell in love with her sister Frances and, after a courtship extended by his then meager earnings, they were married in 1901. It was Lucian who, in 1900, also introduced the twenty-six-year old Gilbert to the thirty-year-old Belloc. Their reciprocal influence was lifelong as was their friendship.
In 1899 Gilbert began writing for The Speaker, a Liberal weekly. His first book, a volume of comic verse which he also illustrated, Greybeards at Play, was successfully published in 1900; later that year, his father financed publication of his second book, The Wild Knight and Other Poems. But it was his brilliant though unpopular pro-Boer stand on the Boer War which first brought him to public attention, and by 1901 he also was writing regularly for The Daily News. His third book, The Defendant (1901), comprised some of his essays from The Speaker, and is suffused with paradoxes, a literary form which has since been associated with his name. ("I did not acquit Chesterton of paradox," wrote his great admirer Msgr. Knox, "but, after all, what was a paradox but a statement of the obvious so as to make it sound untrue?")
He prided himself on being a journalist, and much of his work was first published in the popular journals of the day, many of his books being collected and edited from these essays, and much more of it has never been collected at all.
He was a tall man-six-foot two, and a stout one- nearly three hundred pounds; he dressed unconventionally in a wide-brimmed slouch hat and a flowing cloak; and carried a walking stick; he had a leonine head and a rather straggly blonde mustache. By the time he was only thirty-two he had become famous, instantly recognized in public and in caricature. True, some of his most popular works had been published by then: G. F Watts (1902), Twelve Types (1902), Robert Browning (in the English Men of Letters series, 1903), The Napoleon of Notting Nill, which he called his first important book (1904), The Club of Queer Trades (1905), Heretics (1905), and Charles Dickens (1906). And in social intercourse he was already one with such personalities of the day as Joseph Conrad, Henry James, Laurence Binyon, James M. Barrie, Max Beerbohm, Swinburne, George Meredith, Yeats, and Granville Barker.
In 1904, Sir Oliver Lodge invited him to become a candidate for the Chair of Literature at Birmingham University, but he declined. The invitation was doubtless extended on the strength of his books on Browning and on Dickens. The success of the latter was such that he was requested to write a series of prefaces to all of Dickens' novels.
At the time of his marriage he believed in the basic Christian religious truths but in no particular religion. His wife was a convinced Anglo-Catholic, and she was particularly pleased when in 1905 he accepted an invitation to be the first of a series of lay preachers in St. Paul's Church, Covent Garden.
From this time on there was an almost constant stream of lecture engagements far and wide and to almost every type of organization,-religious, literary, social, and even political. He was famous, he was wanted, and he couldn't say no. His wife became his secretary recording times, places, subjects, and arranging itineraries. He became so pressed for time that he had to write at odd moments and to do his newspaper essays at deadline. This constant pressure extended from 1904 to 1908. He was notoriously absent-minded. Typical was the telegram he sent his wife when he was en route to give a lecture: "Am in Market Harborough. Where ought I to be?~' He hated physical exertion as much as he reveled in mental activity.
Another phantasy, The Man Who Was Thursday (1907) was followed by Orthodoxy (1908). When Gilbert had attacked the philosophy of G. S. Street, he retorted that he would worry about it when G.K. would clarify his own. The tesult was Orthodoxy, a series of positive arguments for Christianity. Etienne Gilson considered it ''The best piece of apologetic the century has produced." Incidentally, Gilbert sold the manuscript outright for about $400.00. The meager returns on his numerous and popular writings moved him at this time to employ a literary agent; with gratifying results.
He began a weekly column, "Our Notebook,'' in The Illustrated London News in 1905 and continued it until his death thirty-one years later.
In 1909 he and his wife moved from Battersea, London, to the suburban town of Beaconsfield, which was to be their home for the rest of their lives. Their desire for children was never to be fulfilled; later they adopted Dorothy Collins who had become Gilbert's secretary in 1926. At Overroads, their Beaconsfield home, he was removed from the bustle and bars of Fleet Street and had more leisure for his friends: Max Beerbohm, Jack Phillmore, Msgr. O'Connor, Maurice Baring, Belloc, George Wyndham, Msgr. Knox, and a host of others. But his social life did not deter the stream of his books, as witness The Ball and the Cross, What's Wrong With the World (changed by his publishers from What's Wrong? and in which he formulated his sociology), Alarms and Discursions, and Blake (all published in 1910), Criticisms and Appreciations of Dickens, The Innocence of Father Brown, and, what many deem his greatest writing, The Ballad of the White Horse (all published in 1911). Too, his interest in politics, which he had had from boyhood, became more active: he began by fighting the sale of peerages as a means of secretly raising party funds, and continued blasting every other form of political corruption. Of necessity this interest included social reform, public education, a free press, etc. He resigned from the Liberal owned Daily News (a property of Cadbury of Cadbury's Cocoa) to write for the Daily Herald. He doubtless resigned just before being asked to, for his recent statements regarding the Liberal party leaders included: "Some of them are very nice oldgentlemen, some of them are very nasty old gentlemen, and some of them are old without being gentlemen at all." And again, "The best of His Majesty's Ministers are agnostics, and the worst are devil worshippers." This hit hard because at least nominally Church of England men (some ecclesiastics) were the predominant rulers of the realm.
Reacting against what they believed wrong with the English social-economic condition, Gilbert, his brother Cecil, and Belloc formulated their own program: Distributism. One of their principal points of controversy was over private ownership, chiefly ownership of the land which was tragically curtailed by the law of enclosure by which some five million acres ceased in effect to be the common property of the poor and became the private property of the rich. In books and articles they carried on their fight for the liberty of Englishmen against increasing enslavement to a plutocracy, and to expose and combat corruption in public life. As their audience increased and took form, they decided upon publishing their own paper. It was called The Eye Witness, from 1911-12, The New Witness, from 1912-23, G.K.'s Weekly, from 1925-36, and The Weekly Review, since 1936. It was edited at various times by each of the three. In the Marconi case, they contended that Godfrey Isaacs had used Rulus Isaacs to purchase ministerial favor. The court verdict in this complicated litigation was a gentle rebuke to the Isaacs and a small fine for editor Cecil. So small in view of the serious charges made that the Chesterbelloc considered it a moral victory. But the government then showed its contempt for integrity by appointing Godfrey Isaacs as the Viceroy of India and giving Rufus the title of Lord Reading.
Gilbert's books in this period included Manalive (1911), A Miscellany of Men, essays (1912), The Victorian Age in Literature (1913), The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914), and The Flying Inn (1914). His poetic play, Magic, was produced in England in October 1913, and in Germany soon afterward. And following a conversation with Msgr. O'Connor on the subject, he wrote his best known single poem, "The Ballad of Lepanto" (19 12).
In September 1916, Cecil enlisted as a private in the army and died in France on December 6, 1918. Upon his enlistment, Gilbert succeeded him as editor of The New Witness.
Gilbert went on a lecture tour to Palestine (which became a determining factor in his conversion) in 1919, to Italy in 1920, and to the United States in 1921-22 and again in 1930-31. From these travels came The New Jerusalem (1920), What I Saw in America (1922) and Sidelights on New London and Newer York (1932). His American tour included a series of thirty-six lectures on Victorian literature and history at the University of Notre Dame (his poem "The Arena" commemorates his visit), as well as talks delivered at San Francisco, Omaha, Oklahoma City, Nashville, New York, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, and other cities.
The same period witnessed the publication of his Irish Impressions (1919), The Uses of Diversity (1920), The Superstition of Divorce (1920), Eugenics and Other Evils (1922), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1922), and Fancies Versus Fads (1923). Some idea of his intellectual fertility is indicated by the fact that at one time he had thirty books contracted for with various publishers.
Gilbert's brother Cecil had become a Catholic shortly before going to war and Gilbert himself had been forming a Catholic mind slowly but steadily from about the same time. But he was not one to be hurried and fortunately even his closest friends, Maurice Baring and Ronald Knox (themselves converts), though he acknowledged their influence upon him, did not try to hurry him. Eventually it was Father O'Connor who received him into the Church in 1922. On the same day he wrote his celebrated poem "The Convert." By her own conscience his wife followed him into the fold four years later.
The time between the death of The New Witness in 1923 and the birth of G.K.'s Weekly in 1925 gave him sufficient leisure to write two of his most important books: St. Francis of Assisi (1923) and The Everlasting Man (1925) . But to the paper which enshrined his brother's memory though it now bore his own initials, Gilbert devoted much of his time as editor from 1925 to 1930. Most of those who knew him regarded it as a sacrifice. Besides Belloc and himself, a steady contributor was Eric Gill; out of friendship for Gilbert, Shaw and Wells contributed occasionally.
In 1926 the social and economic program of the paper feathered the Distributist League, of which Gilbert was elected president. He stated that ''Their simple idea was to restore possession." To restore property and prosperity to the people from whom it had been taken by big government and big business. Distributism was to be a practical alternative to Capitalism and Socialism. Branches were soon established throughout England and the circulation of its organ, G.K.'s Weekly, rose from 4,650 to 8,000 copies. The influence of the movement far exceeded its numbers; men like Father McNabb, O.P., in England (whom some hold fathered rather than was a disciple of the movement), Msgr. Ligutti in the United States, Dr. Coady and Dr. Tompkins in Canada, as well as others in Australia and New Zealand, acknowledged its influence upon their labors.
Despite the yearly loss by the paper and his constant charity to the needy, from panhandlers to causes, Gilbert helped to build the Church at Beaconsfield, until then a mission of High Wycomb parish. It became his memorial.
In 1926 were published The Outline of Sanity, The Catholic Church and Conversion, The Incredulity of Father Brown (as Gilbert said to Father Rice, "My publishers have demanded a fresh batch of corpses"), and The Queen of the Seven Swords; in 1926, his Collected Poems, The Return of Don Quixote (which first appeared serially in G.K.'s Weekly), Robert Louis Stevenson, The Secret of Father Brown, and a play, The Judgment of Dr. Johnson. Like his Magic, it was successful as literature, not as theatre. The Father Brown detective stories brought him charter membership in the Detection Club (1929) and soon afterwards its presidency.
He spent a month of 1927 in Poland, a nation whose true place in Europe he held high. Two years later his visit to Rome resulted in The Resurrection of Rome (1930). His more successful books of this period were his Catholic essays, The Thing (1929), and the two volumes of general essays, Come to Think of It (1930) and All Is Grist (1931), and his reflections flowing from the Eucharistic Congress which he and his wife attended in 1932, Christendom in Dublin, his studies of Chaucer and of St. Thomas Aquinas. Of this last, Etienne Gilson, a foremost Thomistic scholar, said: "I consider it as being without possible comparison the best book ever written on St. Thomas. And P'ere Gillet, O.P., MasterGeneral of the Dominican Order, lectured on and from it to large meetings of Dominicans.
From 1932 until his death he engaged increasingly in radio lectures, delivering as many as forty a year over the B.B.C. The B.B.C. is a state monopoly (as such, Gilbert attacked it: "It is wicked to nationalize mines and railroads; but we lose no time in nationalizing tongues and talk''), and he had to submit a manuscript for each lecture; but, for the sake of spontaneity, he was not held to the letter of it. These talks were so well received that a B.B.C. official remarked after his death that "G.K.C. in another year or so would have become the dominating voice from Broadcasting House." Too, they reached untold thousands who had never read his writings.
While in Rome, Gilbert interviewed Mussolini and had an audience with the Holy Father. In 1934 he was elected, honoris causa, to the Athenaeum Club. Both he and Belloc were invested as Papal Knight Commanders of the Order of St. Gregory with Star. At his death in 1936 the Holy See cabled Cardinal Hinsley: "Holy Father deeply grieved death Mr. Gilbert Keith Chesterton devoted son of Holy Church gifted Defender of the Catholic Faith. His Holiness offers paternal sympathy people of England, assures prayers dear departed, bestows Apostolic Benediction."
The panegyric was delivered in Westminster Cathedral by Msgr. Ronald Knox. His monument was designed by Eric Gill and burial was at Beaconsfield. His wife survived him by a little more than two years.
He had employed his great God-given gifts with humility and charity; indeed these two virtues characterized his life.
Books on him are numerous: first in time and also very important is G. K. Chesterton: a Criticism (1908), published anonymously but later learned to be by his brother Cecil; Belloc's brief but brilliant The Place of Chesterton in English Letters (1940); Father Brown on Chesterton (1937) by Msgr. John O'Connor; The Laughing Prophet (1937) by Emile Cammaerts is concerned more with the man than with the writer; Chesterton As Seen by His Contemporaries (1939), includes material by Gilbert himself, edited by Cyril Clemens; Gilbert's Autobiography (published posthumously in 1936), in which, with characteristic humility, he seems bent upon writing about everyone but himself; and the definitive biography, G. K. Chesterton (1943) by his long-time friend, Maisie Ward (Mrs. Frank J. Sheed).

Pedro de la Cal Rubio (1907-2000)
Owner, Santa Catalina Cerámica Regional
Puente del Arzobispo, Toledo, Spain
Pedro de la Cal is credited with reviving the ceramics industry in the town of Puente del Arzobispo. His grandfather and father were both potters and he was instructed in the art at an early age. In his youth, he would go into nearby areas to collect plants and minerals for his pigments, which were then prepared in the courtyard of his house, and ground and mixed in a mill that was powered by a donkey. Greens and yellows predominate in his artwork in a style that was characteristic of ceramics in Puente in the late 18th and 19th centuries.

A Pedro de la Cal se le acredita por revivir la industria de la cerámica en la población de Puente del Arzobispo. Tanto su abuelo como su padre fueron loceros y lo instruyeron en el arte desde una temprana edad. En su juventud, exploraba las zonas aledañas donde coleccionaba plantas y minerales para hacer sus propios pigmentos, los cuales se preparaban en el patio de su casa en un molino impulsado por una mula. Los verdes y amarillos predominan en sus obras con un estilo característico de la cerámica en Puente a fines del siglo XVIII y durante el siglo XIX.

Feria Nacional de San Marcos. De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
La Feria de San Marcos considerada como "la Feria de México" es el festejo popular más importante de la ciudad de Aguascalientes realizado en honor a San Marcos evangelista, santo patrono designado del barrio del mismo nombre. Es considerada una feria de importancia nacional en México y tiene un gran prestigio aún a nivel internacional. Se realiza en la ciudad de Aguascalientes, México, en el barrio de San Marcos. El día más importante dentro de la feria es el 25 de abril, que coincide con el día de San Marcos.
En un principio, la fiesta se encontraba íntimamente unida con la vendimia ya que Aguascalientes era un importante productor de uva. Sin embargo, esta tradición sobrevive sólo durante las corridas de toros, donde se toma vino tinto mezclado con brandy de las tradicionales botas.
Durante el periodo (abril-mayo, dos últimas semanas y dos primeras semanas, respectivamente) que dura esta festividad, la zona del festejo se convierte en escenario de eventos artísticos, culturales y sociales abiertos a todo el público. No se restringe el acceso general al público ya que la zona que forma gran parte del escenario es ahora muy céntrica y abarca una buena parte del centro histórico de la ciudad.
En 2010 empezará su internacionalización donde la feria se hermanará con las ferias mas importantes y de mayor prestigio como son la de Sevilla en España, Nimes, Francia; Pomona, California; y Calgary, Canadá.
Historia
Su celebración se remonta a 1828, del 20 de octubre al 20 de noviembre, para vender el producto de las cosechas y la ganadería. En aquel entonces competía con las ferias de Acapulco, Jalapa y San Juan de los Lagos.
Al comienzo era celebrada en el Parián (palabra de origen filipino) que es un centro comercial que todavía existe y se localiza a dos cuadras de la plaza principal, esto hasta 1848. En 1842 la balaustrada externa del Jardín de San Marcos, de estilo neoclásico, fue construida en un terreno donado por la Iglesia Católica y se conserva hasta hoy; al ser completado el jardín la celebración fue cambiada de noviembre a abril para coincidir con las fiestas en honor del Santo Patrono.
Desde 1924 se organiza un concurso de belleza para elegir a la Reina de la Feria. En 1958 la feria fue elevada al rango "Nacional" por el Presidente Adolfo López Mateos.
La construcción de la plaza de toros San Marcos comenzó en 1896 y fue terminada en sólo 48 días. Fue inaugurada por Juan Jimenez "El Ecijano" lidiando toros de la ganadería de Venadero el 24 de Abril de ese mismo año. Esta plaza es entre las que permanecen en pie, una de las más antiguas del país. Desde entonces las corridas de toros son incluidas en las festividades. Debido a la gran tradición taurina en Aguascalientes y al creciente afluente de visitantes a la feria, en los años 70 fue construida una de las más bellas plazas de toros del mundo, la Plaza Monumental de Aguascalientes, misma que amplió, en 1992, su cupo de 7,500 a 15,000 personas cómodamente sentadas.
En 2009, por 1era. vez en toda la historia de la Feria, fue suspendida después de solo diez días debido a la Pandemia de gripe A (H1N1) de 2009 que afectó al país. Esta eventualidad mostró claramente la gran importancia de esta feria para Aguascalientes, ya que la economía local se afecto notoriamente por dicha causa.
Actividades
Esta feria abarca desde la tercera semana de abril hasta la primera semana de mayo (tres o cuatro semanas, es variable cada año), y es famosa internacionalmente por su(s):
1. Serial taurino. En el cual es común que se presenten las máximas figuras del momento a nivel mundial. Históricamente se han presentado toreros de la talla de Manolo Martínez, Manuel Capetillo, Rafael Rodríguez "El volcán de Aguascalientes", Manuel Benítez "El Cordobés", Curro Rivera, Paquirri, Alfonso Ramírez "El Calesero", Eloy Cavazos, El Juli, Zotoluco, Armillita, Manuel Espinosa, Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza,Jose Tomas,Arturo Macias "El Cejas", Enrique Ponce,César Rincón, Sebastian Castella y un largo etcétera (se invita a los taurinos de Aguascalientes a añadir los nombres más connotados).
2. Campeonato Nacional Charro, tradición del deporte nacional mexicano (la Charrería) organizado por la Unión de Asociaciones Charras de Aguascalientes, y que en este 2011 se llevará a cabo del 5 al 8 de Mayo en la Villa Charra "José Refugio Esparza Reyes" de la capital.
3. Peleas de gallos. Donde se presentan peleas participando bandos de todo el país y donde es legal apostar. En dicho escenario también se presentan los cantantes populares más reconocidos del momento en México.
4. Casino (único con permiso para operar legalmente en México). Donde se puede jugar a la redina (similar a la ruleta), black jack, baccarat, poker, albures, entre otros juegos de azar.
5. Modernas instalaciones (espacios abiertos, casi en el centro de la ciudad), que incluyen un Centro de Convenciones, zona de antros, teatros cerrados y al aire libre, Megavelaria, entre otras conectadas por amplios y elegantes andadores.
6. Juegos mecánicos de Atracciones García y Tsunami, la montaña rusa más grande del centro de México. también ahora en Isla San Marcos.

9. Eventos deportivos (donde se incluyen partidos profesionales de fútbol soccer del Necaxa, lucha libre y más).
10.

The Queen of Romania is a descendant of the prince of Moldavia (Jeremy Movila) via Maria Leczynska Queen of Louis XV of France and through their descendants to the Bourbob-Parme branch of the French and Danish Royal Families.
Prince Ieremia Movila was a great patron of the arts and founder of the painted convents of Bucovina. During his reign the principality of Moldavia experienced a renaissance of its decorative arts, especially the post-byzantine style religious embroideries.
--------------------
Regina Ana, Printesa de Danemarca si de Bourbon-Parma se trage, asa cum spune numele din Bourboni,
mai precis din ramura spaniola a Bourbonilor care erau si Duci de Parma.
Pornind pe linie directa ascendenta a familiei de Bourbon-Parma, deci pe linie barbateasca ,ajungem la Ferdinand I de Bourbon, Duce de Parma (1751-1802) nepotul Lui Filip V regele Spaniei si Duce de Anjou (1683, Versailles - 1746 Madrid).
Acest Ferdinand I Infante de Spania (1751-1802),care preceda cu sase generatii pe Ana de Bourbon-Parma a noastra [sper si a domniei tale] ) era casatorit cu printesa Louise Elisabeth de France (1727-1759), fiica lui Ludovic al XV regele Frantei si a sotiei lui Maria Leczynska ( 1703-1768) regina Frantei, care la randul ei era fiica lui Stanislas Lesczynski regele Poloniei si Duce de Lorena (1677-1766).
Acum, ca sa ajungem la Movilesti trebuie sa trecem pe ramurile femeiesti:
Bunica materna a lui Stanislas Lesczinski (socrul lui Ludovic XV) era Maria Ana Printesa Jabolonowska (1643-1687) nascuta contesa Kasanowska, iar bunica materna a acesteia din urma era Domnita Maria Movila ( 1591-1638) (fata lui Ieremia Voda), domnita moldoveanca al carui sot era Contele Stefan Potocki, Palatin de Wroclaw si prin care casatorie era cunoscuta in Polonia drept Marya Mohylanka.
Aceasta inseamna, bine inteles, ca prin stramosii ei Movilesti, Regina Ana de Romania se trage, prin Iermia Voda Movila, chiar din Petru Rares si din Stefan cel Mare si Sfant, iar prin acesta din urma din Dragos Voda primul descalecator al Moldovei.
Despre domnita Maria Movila contesa Potocka ne vorbeste istoricul Constantin GANE (1885-1962) in celebra lui lucrare "Trecute Vieti de Doamne si Domnite".

NOTE:
Most of the above 160 Romanian women, in the best tradition of versatility, are true polymaths and therefore nearly each one of them falls in more than just one category, often three or more.

thomhaus.blogspot.com/2011/04/swimming-fish-quilt.html
I started this quilt when my little boy was about 6months old with a plan it would be for his 1st birthday. It was inspired by a picture I saw of paper fish. I loved the image of the beautiful little fish all swimming one way and then the lone fish in a bright colour swimming against the stream.
I drafted a template of the fish and divided it into 3 sections for the head, body and tail and then made up a variety of green stripes and then cut out the fish from these stripes and tacked them down with a rough running stitch.
With the help of mum (after I ruined the first go) I pieced together 3 different blue spots in varying sizes to give the effect of waves for the background.
I hand appliquéd all the fish on to the background (a laborious task to say the least) and used cute mother of pearl buttons for the fish’s eyes.
For the quilting I used the pearl cotton in the style from the Material Obsession girls as I didn’t want to be quilting this forever. The quilting shows up really nicely I think and was so quick and easy I definitely am enjoying this quilting as another way to get things finished! I also quilted a few scales on the fish using green pearl cotton to bring out the colours in the fish a little more.
Former Bergh Apton parish councillors John Ling and Chris Johnson have done a great amount of research on the memorial, and through their diligent efforts have succeeded in adding additional names to the memorial. Much of their work is recorded at the Roll of Honour site for this village, the current page of which predates some of the latest additions to the memorial.
I apologise for both shamelessly cribbing from the Roll of Honour and not ensuring that all the names were captured.

Walter Alexander
(Roll of Honour Walter Earnest Alexander)
Lance Corporal 1st Battalion, Royal Newfoundland Regiment.
Walter emigrated to Canada at some point before 1914 and signed on at St Johns, Newfoundland on 30 April 1915 when living in Boswarlos on the island’s West coast. He was wounded by shell shrapnel on 2 July (the second day of the First Battle of the Somme) and died of his wounds in a Casualty Clearing Station. He died on 5 July 1916, aged 24 and is buried at Beauval, near Amiens.
His parents Robert and Annie Alexander lived at Verandah Cottages on Cooke’s Road until shortly before Walter died, and ended their days at Holly Hill on Sunnyside.

A photo of Walter Alexander can be seen here
norlink.norfolk.gov.uk/02_Catalogue/02_013_PictureTitleIn...
Norlink notes:Lance Corporal Alexander was born at Sunnyside, Bergh Apton, 23rd October 1891. He was educated at Bergh Apton and enlisted in February 1915. He was wounded at the Battle of the Somme, 1st July 1916 and died from wounds, 5th July 1916.
This was doubly sad, as the Regiment had all but been wiped out, in the space of 30 minutes on the 1st of July. By the end of the 1st July, only 68 men responded to roll-call.
www.heritage.nf.ca/greatwar/articles/somme.html
Strangely, there is no match on the Canadian National Archive under this name or service number.
The 1901 Census has a Walter Alexander born 1892 Bergh Apton and still resident there. There was also a Harry Alexander born 1892 (possibly a twin?), Edith born 1895, Ethel born 1898 and a Mabel born 1900.
*******************************************************************
Arthur James Annis
Roll of Honour Arthur William
[Recorded on the memorial as Arthur James ANNIS] Private 7th Battalion, East Yorkshire Regiment.
Arthur was the son of Samuel and Rosetta Annis of The Street, Bergh Apton. He was wounded in the Fricourt/Mametz sector during the first Battle of the Somme and died aged 34 on 24 July 1916. The fact that he is buried in Rouen’s St Sever cemetery indicates that he died of his wounds in one of the base hospitals around Rouen and Etaples.
The war memorial gives his name as Arthur James but that is an error. The confusion in name may have related to the fact that he had a brother James who had been a policemen before 1914. James survived the war in which he served with the Royal Flying Corps and rejoined the Metropolitan Police before returning to Bergh Apton as a market gardener, a business carried on by his son Peter.

The 1901 Census has James Annis as born at Bergh Apton in 1891, while Arthur was born there in 1882, but by the time of the census was working as a Turner in Birmingham.

Robert George Beaumont
Roll of Honour
Private 22nd Battalion, the Manchester Regiment.
Robert died, aged 29, on 4th October 1917 but his body was never recovered. His name is on the Tyne Cot Memorial at Zonnebeke in Belgium. He was the son of Robert and Jane Beaumont of Sunnyside, Bergh Apton and husband of Ellen who lived at 2, Kimberley St, Norwich.
Robert died on the first day of an action known as ‘The Battle of Brooseinde’. The Manchesters suffered very heavy casualties there, losing 281 men of all ranks killed, missing or wounded in the fighting.

Alfred’s enlistment papers can be seen on the Canadian National Archive site. He gives his date of birth as the 17th August 1887 and his profession as farmer.

John Alfred Boggis
Roll of Honour John Alfred Boggis MM
Corporal 9th Battalion, the Norfolk Regiment.
Alfred died aged 37 on 8 October 1918, only a month before the end of the war. He is buried in Prospect Hill Cemetery at Gouy near Cambrai, having been moved there from Brancourt le Grand where he was originally interred.
In a letter to his widow Rosa the Chaplain of the 9th Norfolks wrote ‘I am just writing to express my deep sympathy for you in the death of your husband in action on Oct 8th. . . . . . He was thought very highly of in this Battalion and I am glad to think of him as one of my friends for a long time’.
At the age of 37 Alfred John Boggis was a mature man, and one of already-proven bravery by the award of the Military Medal. One senses from the Padre’s letter that he had attributes of steadiness and loyalty that must have been a great help to many younger soldiers in their teens and early twenties who served with him.
He was the son of Alfred and Sabina Boggis of Yelverton and was married to Rosa. He had three children, Alfred, Herbert and Ivy.

Charles W W Bracey
Roll of Honour:Walter Wilfred
[Listed on memorial as Charles W W BRACEY] Royal Navy Reserve
The Eastern Daily Press of 24 September 1914 carried a report on Bergh Apton’s Harvest Festival. It included the fact that that the Rector, H W G Thursby, gave the condolences of the village to Mr Bracey on the death of his son who was the first Bergh Apton man to die in the war.
He was nineteen and was serving on the trawler “Eyrie” when she sailed as part of a minesweeping flotilla to clear a German minefield laid in the Humber at the very start of the First World War. The ship sank when a mine hit it on 2 September 1914. It was less than a month after Britain entered the war on 4 August.
His name of the war memorial is given as Charles W W Bracey but that is an error. He was the son of Frederick Bracey, later of Claxton. Walter’s name is on the Royal Navy memorial at Chatham in Kent.

26th September 1915 - the 2nd day of the battle of loos.
8.00am approx. The units of 21st and 24th Divisions had moved with great difficulty throughout the night, and had reached the advanced positions facing the enemy's second line, around Bois Hugo, Chalk Pit Wood, Chalet Wood and Hill 70 Redoubt. They were informed that a general attack had been ordered for 11.00am. First Army believed they had halted as ordered on the Lens-La Bassee road, and had been resting for some time.
1.00am A heavy attack by the German 117th Division was launched against the forward units of 7th and 9th Divisions between the Vermelles-Hulluch road and Fosse 8. It achieved complete surprise, catching wiring parties and isolated sections unawares. On the right, 20th Brigade pulled all advanced units back to the protection of Gun Trench. In the centre, the most forward units were in a shallow trench a hundred yards ahead of the Quarries. Their left had no contact with the 27th Brigade of 9th Division, which was somewhere away on their left. A reorganisation of scattered and mixed-up units was underway - under shellfire that included gas shells - when the German attack hit. The enemy entered the Quarries through the undefended gap to the North, and much confused and hand to hand fighting took place. By 1.30am the British troops had lost the Quarries. Further advance was halted by concentrated fire from the 2/Yorkshire and 1/South Staffordshire. 27th Brigade - who lost their CO, Brig-General Bruce, captured in the Quarries - withdrew from Fosse Alley in good order. A hastily arranged counterattack with the intention of retaking the Quarries was delivered at 6.45am by the dog-tired 9/Norfolks of 24th Division, but it was annihilated by consolidated enemy infantry

Grave/Memorial Reference: 274. Cemetery: KIRECHKOI-HORTAKOI MILITARY CEMETERY
Historical information about the cemetery
XVI Corps Headquarters were at Kirechkoi from January 1916, soon after the opening of the Salonika campaign, until the advance to the Struma in September 1916. The cemetery was begun in March 1916, but it remained a very small one until September 1917, when the 60th, 65th and 66th General Hospitals came to the neighbourhood. In June, July and September 1918, other hospitals were brought to the high and healthy country beside the Salonika-Hortakoi road and in September 1918, the influenza epidemic began which raged for three months and filled three-quarters of the cemetery. The last burial took place in January 1919, but in 1937, 12 graves were brought into the cemetery from Salonika Protestant Cemetery where their permanent maintenance could not be assured. The cemetery now contains 588 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and 58 Bulgarian war graves. There are also 17 burials from the Second World War.

Victor Gillingwater
Roll of Honour: Victor George
Private 1st Battalion, Royal Marines Light Infantry (RMLI)
Victor died aged 20 on 17 February 1917 and is buried in Queen’s Cemetery, Bucquoy, near Arras, only a few kilometres from a sunken road between Grandcourt and Miraumont in which he died as part of an action included in a report to Parliament by General Douglas Haig in May of that year. Sixty-four Marines were killed.
On enlistment Gillingwater gave his address as Bussey Bridge, Bergh Apton. The discovery of an RMLI collar badge in the garden of a cottage at Bussey Bridge in 2003 gives us confidence that we have found his home and that of his parents George and Mary Gillingwater.
(A connection between Gillingwater and Alfred Rope, also of Bergh Apton, is included in the story of the latter)

Private 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards.
Henry was killed aged 24 on 27 March 1916, only twenty-six days after his brother Charles died in Iraq. He is buried in the Menin Road South Cemetery at Ypres in Belgium.
Henry was baptised in Bergh Apton 13 March 1890, the only one of Hannah Greenacre’s six children to be born in her native village. His wife Louisa (née Keeler) was living in Brooke when he was killed but on the Electoral Roll of 1939 she is recorded as living with her parents at the Hellington Bell public house in Bergh Apton where her father was landlord. She is buried in Bergh Apton’s churchyard.

Charles W Greenacre
Roll of Honour:Charles William
Private 2nd Battalion, the Norfolk Regiment.
The date of Charles Greenacre’s death is given as 22 April 1916. At that time the Norfolk’s 2nd Battalion was part of Major General Charles Townsend’s force besieged by the Turks at Kut al Amara. Charles may have died of starvation or disease during last week of the siege that ended on 29th April 1916. It was, after Gallipoli, Britain’s second greatest WW1 military disaster.
There is, however, a second possibility, involving a British force sent to relieve Kut. It included a unit nicknamed ‘The Norsets’ (comprising men of both the Norfolk and Dorset Regiments) and he may well have been a part of that unit that came up against the Turks at Sanniyat on the River Tigris. In the ensuing action, on the day he is reported to have been killed, the Norsets lost forty four men and he may well have been amongst them.
The whole attack failed, and its failure led directly to Townsend’s decision to surrender the Kut garrison to General Khalil Pasha.
He is remembered on the British War Memorial in Iraq, originally erected in Basrah, but moved to Al Nasiriyah in 1997 on the orders of the Iraqi government. It was badly damaged in the more recent conflict but has now been restored and re-dedicated.
Charles was born in Westwick in north Norfolk but his mother Hannah (née Loyd) was a Bergh Apton girl who had returned to her native village by the time of Charles’s death. She and her husband William and family lived at 4, Sunnyside.
Charles’s brother Henry (q.v. below) was also killed in this war

Sidney was killed, aged 21, on Saturday, 8th July 1916. His body was never found and he is remembered on the Thiepval Memorial.
We can at present find no village connection to explain why he is on the memorial in Bergh Apton but there is only one man of this name in the entire Commonwealth War Graves Commission record for the First World War so it is likely to be him.
A man of the right age was born in Eynsford in Kent whose father Richard Kedge was a farm labourer and his work might have brought him to Bergh Apton. We shall keep searching for the reason amongst the records.

Ernest had emigrated to Australia in 1912 and enlisted in the Australian infantry on 24 January 1916 in Bunberry. He died on 16 April 1917 but his body was never recovered. He is remembered on the impressive Australian Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux near Amiens.
We have no record of precisely how he died but many men in his battalion died that day in a fierce fight at the village of Lagnicourt in which they ran out of ammunition, and where Lieutenant Charles Pope was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross.
His enlistment papers tell us that his brother farmed at Town Farm and his mother Sophia Maria Leeder farmed at the neighbouring Valley Farm on Welbeck Road. She had lost her husband Edmund only the year before she lost this son.
As well as being remembered on Bergh Apton’s own memorial Ernest’s name is included on the memorial in the park at Donnybrook in Western Australia, and on the Roll of Honour in the town’s Memorial Hall.

Sidney Herbert Marks
Roll of Honour
probably Sidney Herbert Marks, Private 1st Bn, The Essex Regiment
It is not yet proven, but we are confident that this is the man recorded on our Memorial. He was killed on 8 October 1917 and that date fits with an entry in Bergh Apton parish church’s Register of Services that records a memorial service held for Private S Marks on 2 December 1917. The very fact that a memorial service was held for him also suggests that he had a close connection in some way with the village.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records that his wife lived in Norwich, only six miles away, so the next step in research will begin there.
The CWGC record also says that he was ‘employed by the late Captain Lord Richard Wellesley of the Grenadier Guards’ (who had died on 29 October 1914). This intriguing note may give us something else to go on in further researches into Sidney, one of only two people who remain a complete mystery to us.

Harry Samuel Mayes
Roll of Honour
Private 7th Battalion the Norfolk Regiment.
Harry was killed 1 October 1915 but his body was never found. His name is on the Loos Memorial at Lens in the Pas de Calais (the spot known as ‘Dud Corner’). Army records have only one soldier of this name killed so we are confident that this is the man on our Memorial, but we have yet to find detail of his particular part of the widespread Mayes family that lived in the village.
By sad co-incidence, when researching his details in the Records Office, we noticed that his birth was recorded on the same page of the Registry of Births as that of Walter Wilfred Bracey (q.v.) who had been killed in 1914.
There are actually numerous H Mayes on the CWGC website, but no Harry Samuel.

Most of the 2nd Battalion were trapped during the siege of Kut, and following the surrender of that garrison endured what was tantamount to a death march. It is estimated that over 70% of the men taken prisoner at Kut died on the subsequent march or whilst in captivity.

Leonard Godfrey Rope
Roll of Honour
Private 31st Battalion, Canadian Infantry (the Alberta Regiment).
Alfred Rope’s brother Leonard was killed at St Eloi aged 27 on 7 April 1916 but his body was never found. He is remembered on the Menin Gate at Ypres in Belgium.
His parents Aaron and Ellen Alice Rope farmed at Holly Farm on Loddon Road. He enlisted as a volunteer in Calgary Alberta on 8 April 1915 - his 27th birthday but we have few details of his travels between Bergh Apton and western Canada except that he left this village in about 1912.
He joined the 31st Battalion (Alberta Regiment), part of the Canadian Army’s 5th Brigade that became known as the “Iron Fifth” for its exploits under the command of Lt Colonel (later Brigadier General) Ketchen.
His death may well have occurred in an event recorded by G E Hewitt in his book ‘History of 28th Battalion’ (Charles and Son, London) that records the war of one of the the 31st’s sister battalions:
‘April 7, 1916. An attack was made during the night of April 6 - 7 on craters 4 & 5 by bombing parties from 25th, 28th and 31st Battalions led by Lt Murphy of 25th Battalion. They reported that, despite heavy rain and shellfire, they got quite close to the craters before being repulsed. In fact, they lost their way in the dark and occupied a group of craters north of crater 4 and, though they captured several small German patrols, they had failed to even identify their objective correctly’.
Hewitt goes on to say ‘The following night, April 7 - 8, the 6th Brigade was relieved after suffering 617 casualties in the preceding four days of fighting’.
It is probable that Leonard was amongst the 617 men who died in the fighting in one of those raiding parties. It had been the eve of his twenty-eighth birthday.

In a separate letter the medical officer explains that the R.A.P (for Emergency treatment) at VOORMEZEELE was shared with the 28th and 29th battalions, and was manned by the medical officers from those battalions. Most of the wounded from the 31st battalion were in the trench sector adjoining those battalions, and so went to Voormezeele rather than through his post.
“6th April 1916.
2-k All wounded in Aid Post cleared.
3-30k A most terrific concentrated enemy bombardment is taking place on our position in front of and about ST ELOI, using trench torpedoes and shells of all kinds and sizes. Hundreds of shells must be bursting every minute. We must expect heavy casualties, especially by way of VOORMEZEELE. Bombardment contiues all day from both sides. Wounded coming in tell of German Infantry attack being repulsed on our battalion front, but enemy is reported to be in crater to right of our front.
We dress and send out wounded all morning and afternoon, practicaly all walking cases.

Capt MacPherson is wounded by bomb and is sent out.
Cases of shattered nerves are coming in. The worst of these I send to Field Ambulance, but the majority I allow to lie down in an adjoining dugout. There are only half dozen cases. Some men that have been buried by shells I also keep at R.A.P dugout.
18-k Bombardment has died down. Many dead and wounded are reported from front line.
70 bearers from No.6 Field Ambulance are to help clear wounded from right section towards Voormezeele after dark.
“C” Coy, holding centre of our Battalion front reports several badly wounded men.
20-k I leave Battalion Headquarters, with Major Hewgill and Corporal Bright and a party of men, for the front line, to bring out wounded.
21-k to 24 - k. I redress a number of wounded men in front line, among them Sergeant Proven with a bad compound fracture of the thigh.
Front trenches here are pretty well battered to pieces. Raining hard.
7th April 1916.
5k Last wounded men just cleared to Field Ambulance.
11-k Morning has been fairly quiet after uproar of yesterday, but there is still considerable artillery firing.
A number are coming in with chilled, sodden feet. They are chiefly men of “A” Company who were in mud and water for forty eight hours in crater before being relieved by “D” Coy. We have them wash their feet in cold water, dry and apply whale from a can found in shelled dugout. We supply dry socks when possible.
Corporal dace, Sanitary NCO, is given a squad of partially recovered nerve cases and starts in to clean up about R.A.P, and Battn Headquarters.

Alfred Hubert Rope
Roll of Honour
Private Royal Marines Light Infantry (RMLI)
Alfred Rope died aged 23 on 5 May 1917. He is one of 10,769 soldiers buried in Etaples Military Cemetery close to the British Expeditionary Force’s main base that included a military hospital complex where, even ten months after the final Armistice in September 1919, three hospitals and a QMAAC convalescent depot remained to treat men seriously wounded in battle.
Alfred Rope was the one of the two sons of Aaron and Ellen Alice Rope of Holly Farm on Loddon Road, both of whom was to be killed within a little over a year.
His Birth Certificate records him as Alfred Hubert and in the 1901 Census he is listed as Herbert, but his CWGC record has him as Hubert Alfred. We can be confident that he was called Hubert in the village as it was that name entered in the church service record by the Reverend Harvey Thursby after his Memorial service on 8 June 1917.
He volunteered for the Royal Marines on exactly the same date and at the same London recruiting office as his near-neighbour Victor Gillingwater (q.v.). Even their service numbers are consecutive. Victor lived at Bussey Bridge – literally a few hundred yards from the Rope farmstead, and it seems clear that these boys were friends who went to London together to enlist for the great adventure, and died within a month of each other in 1917.

He was the son of Leonard and Anna Maria Wall of The Street in Bergh Apton, and uncle to Joy Lester of this village, Anna Stratton of Thurton and to Olive Hudson of Harleston. His parents and his sister Lily Scarles are buried in Bergh Apton churchyard.
Clement worked for Mr Redgrave the builder of The Beeches in Threadneedle Street. His niece Anna Stratton told us that he was a runner of some repute who would often pay small children a half-penny or a penny to time him on training runs. On one occasion he ran to Denton to take part in a race, won the race, and ran home again. The round-trip distance he ran just to take part was over thirty-six miles!

Charles was one of two village men to die in the service of this famous Regiment raised in the Scottish borders. He was killed on 17 October 1915 but like so many has no known grave. His name is on the same Loos Memorial as that of Harry Mayes who died only two weeks before him.
We have no details yet of his family but his birth is recorded in the Norwich register for the June Quarter of 1895. When we check that it may link him to Annie Weddup who lived in The Street in Bergh Apton at the beginning of the war.

The 1901 Census lists a Charles for 1882, born at Stoke Holy Cross and was now resident Carleton.
There are numerous Weddup’s from villages close to Bergh Apton, but assuming that all the Weddup’s listed as living in Carleton in the 1901 Census are one family, then they could be a picture of life at the bottom of the agricultural labouring ladder.
Rosa born 1862 Shottesham
Charles born 1882 Stoke Holy Cross Profession: Horseman on Farm
William born 1887 Alpington Profession: Worker on Farm
Annie born 1890 Bergh Apton
Bessie born 1892 Alpington
Daniel born 1895 Seething
Charles is the only Weddup listed as dying in WW1.

Jack Lovewell
Roll of Honour
Sergeant 75th (RNZAF) Squadron, RAF Volunteer Reserve
Jack was killed aged 21 on Monday, 16 August 1943 on a raid over the Gironde Estuary (Bay of Biscay) where his aircraft was lost. His body was never found and he is remembered on the RAF Memorial at Runnymede.
He was an Air Gunner, trained in Canada and part of a Squadron of which the original nucleus was Wellington bombers contributed by the New Zealand government and flown by Kiwis. His own crew, flying in a Short Stirling bomber and engaged on a mine-laying (‘gardening’) mission, was flown and navigated by New Zealanders and had a Canadian bomb aimer. Jack was the rear gunner.
He was the son of Arthur and Ethel Lovewell who ran the village shop on Threadneedle Street and owned much of the land around the crossroads where Threadneedle Street and Mill Road meet in Bergh Apton. They are buried in our churchyard but his brother Brian, at the time of writing (August 2005) is still alive and living in Lincolnshire.

Archibald Mayes
Roll of Honour
Leading Seaman, Royal Navy.
Archie died on 19 Feb 1941 while serving in HMS Warspite in the Mediterranean. We have been told by the son of a shipmate that he was the victim of an infection rather than injury. He is buried in Ramla (formerly Ralmeh) War Cemetery in Palestine, 12 kilometres south-east of Jaffa. We understand - and hope - that this is a different place from the Rameleh where so much destruction has taken place in recent fighting.
Archie was the brother of Jack Mayes (q.v.) who died later that year. His family lived at Prospect Place in Bergh Apton, on the A146 between Norwich and Lowestoft.

Herbert Baker
199 to choose from
No match on Norlink
Military Geneology has Herbert born Guestwick, while Roll of Honour has Age 21 in 1914 living in E Barsham in 1901
On the 1901 Gensus there is a Herbert George, aged 7, born Swanton Morley, who is recorded at “The Cottage near the Bridge”, East Barsham, in the district of Walsingham. This is the household of his parents, Walter, (aged 34 and a Gardener from Streatham, Surrey) and Mary Ann, (aged 36 and from Colton). They also have a daughter, Mildred M, aged 5, born Swanton Morley. Their address seems to put them very near East Barshan Hall, at least on the Census page, so possibly Walter was employed in the grounds.
On the 1901 census there is also a Herbert Baker, aged 16 and a Butcher who was born Stiffkey. He is recorded at Wells Road, Stiffkey, in the District of Walsingham. This is the household of his parents, Charles, (aged 54 and a Fish Hawker from Stiffkey), and Rebecca, (aged 54 and from Stiffkey). Their other children are:-
George………..aged 12.……….born Stiffkey
John J…………aged 18.……….born Stiffkey…..Blacksmith
Osborn………..aged 14.……….born Stiffley…..Bricklayers Labourer
Only Herbert George appears to be on the 1911 census, and is still recorded in the District of Walsingham, along with parents Walter and Mary Ann and sister Mildred.
Given the above, and that father Walter appears to be either itinerant or in demand, then this individual becomes a possibility- right age, right fathers names and mothers first initials. In addition there doesn’t appear to be a Herbert living in Shipdham on the 1901 census, while on the 1911 census, there are two, but one was born circa 1902 at Yaham, and the other circa 1905 at Harringey, London.

The 5th Camerons were engaged in the battle of Loos at this time, there first time in battle. Despite significant successes on the 25th September, where they advanced further than neighbouring units, as a consequence they became isolated and were forced to retreat across open country, suffering horrendously as a result. there are various dayes for the end of the Battle of Loos between the 15th and 18th October 1915.

The 5 year old John, born Melton Constable, is recorded on the 1901 census at Melton Yards, Melton Constable. It looks like he has a twin brother, Jacob. This is the household of his parents, Herbert, (aged 37 and a Farm Foreman from Hindolveston), and Lucy, (aged 37 and from Briston). Their other children are :-
Albert…………..aged 3.………………born Melton Constable
Alice……………aged 7.………………born Melton Constable
Beatrice…………aged 14.……………born Briston…..Worker at Home
Dora…………….aged 1.………………born Melton Constable
Fauncett………….aged 8.………………born Melton Constable
George…………..aged 11.……………..born Briston
Jacob……………aged 5,………………born Melton Constable
James……………aged 15.…………….born Briston……..Stable Lad
The baptism of John and Jacob took place on the 18th June 1895 at St Peter, Melton Constable. Their date of birth is given as the 15th June 1895.Parents are Herbert John and Lucy Maria Beckham, and fathers occupation is given as Labourer. This is listed as a private baptism.- possibly being twins they may not have been expected to survive.
The Cologne cemetery was used during the war to bury PoW’s who died in captivity, and after the war it was chosen as the principal cemetery to consolidate the graves of those who had died all over Germany. However, post the armistice, it was also used for the burial of members of the Army of Occupation. Who died. As John doesn’t appear to be on the Roll of Honour for those who died as PoW;s it’s a working assumption that his death came into the latter category.

www.walsingham-memories.co.uk/war/19141918/littlewalsingh...
The 4 year old Percy, born Binham, is recorded on the 1901 census at “Near the Cross” Binham, This is the household of his parents, Sidney, (aged 31 and a Grocer & Draper from Notting Hill, London), and Louisa, (aged 28 and from Burnham.). They also have daughters Sybil, (aged 1, born Binham), and Vera, (aged 3, born Binham). The Curson’s also have a live in servant.
Percy probably died of wounds received in the 9th Battalions first and disastrous taste of action on the 26th September.
The 9th (Service) Battalion was formed at Norwich in September 1914 as part of K3, Kitcheners Third Army. In September 1914 it was attached to the 71st Brigade, 24th Division. The Battalion was assembled around Shoreham during September 1914 and it then spent 11 months in training after formation. Uniforms, equipment and blankets were slow in arriving and they initially wore emergency blue uniforms and carried dummy weapons. The battalion crossed to France between 28th August and 4th September 1915 where they joined X1 Corps and were sent up the line for the developing Battle of Loos. They disembarked at Boulogne almost 1000 strong, but 8 days later were reduced to 16 officers and 555 other ranks. The battalion lost a total of 1,019 men killed during the First World War. It marched from Montcarrel on the 21st September reaching Bethune on the 25th, before moving up to Lonely Tree Hill south of the La Basée Canal. They formed up for an attack in support of 11th Essex but were not engaged. At 03:30 on 26th September orders were received to assist 2nd Brigade on an attack on quarries west of Hulluch. At 05:30 the Battalion were in what had, the day before, been the German front trenches. The attack was launched at 06:45 under heavy fire, especially from snipers, after a full night of marching on empty stomachs and little or no progress was made before the Norfolks sought cover in the trenches. At 16:00 2nd Battalion of the Worcestershire Regiment passed through to attack. At 19:00 the Germans opened fire and the Norfolks were forced to fall back to trenches in the rear to take cover before being relieved by the Grenadier Guards whereupon they returned to Lonely Tree Hill. They had lost 5 officers killed and 9 wounded, with 39 other ranks killed, 122 wounded and 34 missing, a total of 209 casualties sustained in their first action

The only obvious Alfred Flegg of the 5 listed on the Genes Reunited Transciption of the 1901 Census for England and Wales was already aged 36. He was born Little Walsingham, (although could as easily read Gt Walsingham), was single, employed as an Agricultural Labourer, and was recorded at Swan Entry, Little Walsingham,. This was the household of his widowed mother, Phoebe , (aged 77 and from Wighton), plus a Mary Wright, (aged 34 and from Wighton), who has three children including a 1 year old Alfred Wright, (born Little Walsingham). This is speculation on my part but if Alfred the Labourer married Mary Wright, then his step-children may well have taken his surname, and so this could be the Alfred Flegg we are looking for.
Going on to the 1911 census, we do indeed have an Alfred John Flegg, born circa 1900, Little Walsingham, and still recorded in the Walsingham District., living in a household that includes an Alfred (born Great Walsingham) and a Mary Maria Flegg, (born Wighton)
Throughout the latter part of August 1918 the 2nd battalion Essex Regiment (12th Brigade, 4th Division) had been involved in pushing the Germans back to the Drocourt-Queant Line (“Wotanstellung”). This trench was part of the Hindenburg Line and is located halfway between Arras and Cambrai. On the night of 1st September 1918 the 2nd Essex pushed on taking more German trenches with little difficulty but they were then halted by withering machine gun fire which kept them pinned down for several hours.

HMT Royal Edward, 11,117 grt, sunk 13th August 1915 by German submarine SMU UB14, 6 miles W from Kandeliusa, Aegean Sea, carrying goverment stores from Avonmouth & Alexandria to Mudros. Owned by Canadian Northern Steamships Ltd-Toronto. 132 crew died. Out of a total compliment of 1586 (crew and troops) less than 500 were saved.
1/Essex lost 174 O.R's, but 172 of them were volunteers who'd transfer from the Norfolk's (3rd Special Reserve) based at Felixstowe, 100 on 23 June and 200 on 24 July.
A passage from the History of Norfolk Regiment tells the rest of the story: Colonel Tonge refers to the loss of 300 men, the best draft that ever left Felixstowe. These men volunteered to join the Essex Regiment and appear to have constituted the drafts of June 23 and July 24 1915. They were part of the reinforcements carried by the transport "Royal Edward" which was torpedoed and sunk in the Aegean Sea on August 14th 1915. She sank two and a half minutes after the torpedo struck her.Of the 1,400 men she carried only 600 were saved,and the drowned included all but 18 of the 300 Norfolk men. The men who had had a route march just before leaving Alexandria, were waiting on deck for foot inspection at about 9.20 am. Their lifebelts were down below, and when the ship was unexpectedly struck most of them ran below to fetch the belts. Owing to the ship's sudden heeling over and sinking, these never got up again. Those who escaped were picked up by a hospital ship which responded to the s.o.s. signal. To partly replace this sad loss, another draft of 150 men to the Essex Regiment was dispatched on September 29, 1915. Addenda 1994 From: "Men of Gallipoli"(David & Charles,1988) by kind permission of the publishers. One of the features of the Cape Helles monument is the rows of names of men drowned in the torpedoing of the Royal Edward,which sank in the Eastern Mediterranean on 13th August with a loss of over 850 lives.A.T.Fraser in the Border Regiment,was in a deckchair on the afterdeck starboard side when suddenly dozens of men ran past him from port to starboard. The explosion came before he had time to ask what was the matter."The ship had no escort and we had not been ordered to have our life-belts with us.The hundreds on deck ran below to get their life-belts and hundreds below would have met them on their way up.I shared a cabin accessible from the deck I was on and I raced there to get my life-belt and ran to my life-boat station which was on the star- board side.As the men arrived they fell in two ranks. Already the ship was listing and this prevented our boats from being lowered,so we were ordered to jump for it.I saw no panic,but of course one could imagine what was happening on the inside stairs. I swam away from the ship and turned to see the funnels leaning towards me.When they reached the sea,all the soot was belched out,there was a loud whoosh and the ship sank. No explosion,no surge.So I was alone.The little waves were such that in the trough you saw nothing,on the crest you saw a few yards.The water was warm.I wondered if there were sharks". Fraser found some wood to rest on and he was joined by a seaman,an older man who had twice previously been torpedoed.This brought the young Scot confidence.An up turned Royal Edward lifeboat was to provide 17 of the survivors with a little more security though in what Fraser calls half-hourly recurring turbulence,the boat turned over,offering them conventional but completely waterlogged accommodation every alternate half hour but at least providing them with something to do.There was no singing and little conversation. The first ship that passed hailed the scattered men and promised to signal for help. It could not stop as it had high explosives for Lemnos. Some of the men became depressed and showed unwillingness to clamber back in the life boat when it overturned,but on each occasion all were persuaded. Finally the hospital ship SOUDAIN arrived to pick them up in her life-boats,and at 2 o'clock Fraser was safely aboard her after just under five hours in the sea. He remembers that"a large number of men lost their false teeth as we were constantly sick in the sea- and these men were sent back to England.We the younger ones,were clothed and kitted and on another ship three days later for Gallipoli

I had initially thought this was a Private F C Hayler of "K" Supply Coy. (Aldershot), Army Service Corps , who died 28/01/1915 and is buried : Near North-West corner of Church Cemetery: WARNHAM (ST. MARGARET) CHURCHYARD
CWGC: www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=402551
However, Norlink has a picture of a Francis William Hayler, 2nd Bedfordshire Regiment.
norlink.norfolk.gov.uk/02_Catalogue/02_013_PictureTitleIn...
The accompanying notes read
Francis William Hayler, 2nd Bedfords (War Office Khartoum). Born at Spalding, Lincs, April 27 1878. Educated at Walsingham Grammar School. Enlisted Dec 13 1895. Died from a disease contracted in the Sudan, Jan 31 1918. Buried at parish church, Chiswick.
This individual does not appears on the CWGC database. A check of Chiswick cemeteries in the same database shows there are three. One contains civilian war dead from WW2 only. One was opened after the Great War and the only CWGC maintained graves come from WW2. The old, urban cemetery which is shared with a parish church has 69 graves maintained by the CWGC. None of these are for an individual with a similar sounding surname, (Tayler, Mayler, etc), there are no Francis William’s, (in case he changed his name for whatever reason or used an alias), there is no-one from either unit listed - 2nd Bedfords or War Office Khartoum, and there is no-one who died on the 31/01/1918.
The death of a Francis Hayler, aged 39, was recorded in Brentford in the January to March 1918.
I suspect therefore, as I’ve found with other individuals, that Francis had been discharged prior to death, and while the CWGC probably does maintain his grave, by some bureaucratic rule he is not included on the published CWGC database,
On further investigation, my original thought, F C Hayler is definitely ruled out as he is a Frederick Charles who was born Broadbridge Heath, which is close to where he was buried.
Francis doesn’t appear to be on the 1901 census - presumably because he had already enlisted and was serving overseas, The 2nd Bedfords arrived at Cape Town with 12 Brigade of 6 Division on January 8, 1900. The first thing they did in accordance with Lord Roberts' call for more mounted men was to form two mounted infantry companies.
www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~engbdf/Military/BedsRegtinBoer...
However he doesn’t appear to be on the 1891 or the 1881 census - he certainly seems a man able to disappear from official records ! There also don’t appear to be any Hayler’s recorded in Spalding or Walsingham.

The 8 year John, born Wighton, can be found on the 1901 census at Chapel Yard, Wighton. This is the household of his widowed mother Ellen, (aged 37 and a charwoman from Wighton). Ellen also has a daughter, Lily, (aged 12, born Wighton).
Going back to the 1891 census, Ellen and Lily are at Malt House Yard, Wighton, along with another daughter, Mary Jane, who was then aged 5. Ellen is still head of the household, but is described as wife of a sailor away from home.
The baptism of John James took place at All Saints, Wighton, on the 22nd January 1893. Unfortunately no date of birth is listed. However parents names are listed as Robert Edward and Ellen, with Roberts occupation being listed as Labourer. The baptism of Lily Elizabeth took place in the same church, but her fathers occupation is then listed as “Tailor” - perhaps a transcription error !
In the battalion war diary for the period, the location of the battalion is given as in the trenches opposite the quarries. The Battalion was engaged in the Battle of Loos, which some sources show as ending on the 18th October. The Quarries may also be the same location where the 9th Battalion had its baptism of fire on the 26th September, (see Percival Curson).
The period from the 16th to the 18th is bracketed together with the note that “During these days, nothing of much importance happened, except how shelling continued with much vigour on both sides. A further draft of 17 NCO’s received on the 16th, and on the 17th 146 NCO’s and men joined. Our line was breached in three places but was soon repaired.”
At 5pm on the 18th, there is an additional note. Brigade Bombers took line (poss) of the QUARRIES. This was consolidated by the ESSEX REGT.

Going back to the 1891 census we find him recorded at Main Street, Houghton-in-the Hole. This is the household of his parents, Charles W, (a farm Labourer from Great Snoring), and Emma, (from Stiffkey). Unfortunately their ages have been heavily scored through.
As an aside - Lord Blythswood was certainly an interesting character - perhaps not so much for re-invigorating the Conservative Party in Scotland as his contributions to science, both as an amateur scientist in his own right, but also in the Laboratory that he funded at the ancestral home of Blythswood House and made available to the fledgling science of Nuclear Physics.

Unfortunately, for most of the family their ages are heavily scored, so all I can tell you is that Williams children were all born Little Walsingham and in age order were Rosannah, (a charwoman), William, (aged 14 and a Bricklayers Boy), and Daisy.

Kurt Weiser is Professor in Ceramics at ASU. Follow link below.
art.asu.edu/ceramics/index.html
In the hands of Kurt Weiser, (b. 1950) the centuries-old tradition of china paint on porcelain is given new life. Weiser’s sumptuous, provocative teapots and jars, resplendent with lush jungle scenes, can be both alluring and unsettling. Detailed depictions of tropical splendor become wayward reveries as radiant colors and subtle distortions transform classic porcelain vessels.
Weiser, trained in ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Michigan, originally worked in an abstract, non-representational style with minimal surface decoration. While director of the Archie Bray foundation in Helena, Montana from 1977-88, he began to feel limited by this approach and contemplated new ways of working. Around 1990, he took the first step towards his current style when he covered a porcelain teapot with intricate botanical imagery using black and white sgraffito. After making a series of visits to Thailand, where he was inspired by the region’s luxuriant, intensely colored flora and fauna, a black and white palette no longer satisfied him. Seeking to capture Thailand’s richness, he began to experiment with China paints. Soon his skill as a colorist became an indispensable element of his work.
With the introduction of color into his work, Weiser also began to indulge his narrative impulses by incorporating figurative elements, drawn both from fantasy and art history, into his jungle scenes. Weiser’s figures, often nude and distorted across the planes of his vessels, move through steamy, Eden-like landscapes, interacting with the natural world they encounter. Themes of lust, predation, scientific curiosities, and the vulnerability of both man and nature abound in these scenes, resonating curiously with the cultivated vessel forms and refined medium Weiser has chosen.
Although Weiser has worked in this style for more than ten years, his work continues to evolve. The technical challenge of the overglazing process he uses, which requires multiple firings for each vessel and careful attention to the order in which colors are applied, forces him to thoroughly consider each piece he creates. Through refining this method of working, he has learned to take full advantage of the three-dimensionality of his surfaces by extending his scenes to fully encompass each vessel. In his recent work, he says that the softened, amorphous forms of his vessels should blend with their seamlessly painted surfaces so that the pots fade from view and “the painting is the three dimensional reality” floating in space as would a dream or reverie. Whether Weiser’s work is interpreted as three-dimensional painting or sensuously decorated porcelain, the pots he creates are among the most vivid and decadent of modern ceramics, providing a distinctive contribution to the ever-expanding medium.

Κυριαρχία του Θεού
Ο Θεός λέει: «Αυτές οι μεταβάσεις από την άνοιξη στο καλοκαίρι, στο φθινόπωρο και στον χειμώνα – αυτές οι αλλαγές συμβαίνουν όλες σύμφωνα με τους νόμους που θέσπισε ο Θεός. Καθοδηγεί όλα τα πλάσματα και τους ανθρώπους χρησιμοποιώντας αυτούς τους νόμους και έχει θεσπίσει έναν πλούσιο και πολύχρωμο τρόπο ζωής για το ανθρώπινο γένος, προετοιμάζοντας ένα περιβάλλον για επιβίωση που έχει διαφορετικές θερμοκρασίες και διαφορετικές εποχές. Υπό αυτά τα μεθοδικά περιβάλλοντα επιβίωσης, οι άνθρωποι μπορούν επίσης να επιβιώσουν και να πολλαπλασιαστούν με οργανωμένο τρόπο. Οι άνθρωποι δεν μπορούν να αλλάξουν αυτούς τους νόμους και ούτε ένα άτομο ή πλάσμα δεν μπορεί να τους παραβεί. Δεν έχει σημασία τι ριζοσπαστικές αλλαγές συμβαίνουν στον κόσμο, αυτοί οι νόμοι συνεχίζουν να υπάρχουν και υπάρχουν επειδή υπάρχει ο Θεός. Αυτό συμβαίνει χάρη στη διακυβέρνηση και τη διαχείριση του Θεού. Με αυτού του είδους το οργανωμένο, ευρύτερο περιβάλλον, η ζωή των ανθρώπων προχωρά μέσα στα πλαίσια αυτών των νόμων και κανονισμών. Αυτοί οι νόμοι καλλιέργησαν τη μια ανθρώπινη γενιά μετά την άλλη και ολόκληρες γενιές ανθρώπων έχουν επιβιώσει μέσα στα πλαίσια αυτών των νόμων. Οι άνθρωποι απολαμβάνουν τα όντα και αυτό το τακτικό περιβάλλον για επιβίωση που δημιούργησε ο Θεός για ολόκληρες γενιές ανθρώπων. Παρόλο που οι άνθρωποι αισθάνονται ότι αυτοί οι τύποι νόμων είναι έμφυτοι, παρόλο που τους απορρίπτουν πλήρως και παρόλο που δεν μπορούν να νιώσουν ότι ο Θεός ενορχηστρώνει αυτούς τους νόμους, ότι ο Θεός κυβερνά πάνω από αυτούς τους νόμους, ό,τι και να γίνει, ο Θεός είναι πάντα απασχολημένος με αυτό το αμετάβλητο έργο. Ο σκοπός Του σε αυτό το αμετάβλητο έργο είναι η επιβίωση του ανθρώπινου γένους, έτσι ώστε να συνεχίσουν να ζουν οι άνθρωποι. ...»

El nuevo modelo de examen de Historia del Arte que rige la Selectividad Andaluza desde el curso 2012 – 2013 cuenta ya con tres ediciones que suponen diecisiete propuestas de examen de las cuales seis llegaron a ser escogidas como exámenes titulares. Debían ser dieciocho, pero una de las pruebas del curso 2014 – 2015 nunca llegó a ser publicada. Por otra parte desconocemos si algunas (o todas) las pruebas destinadas a exámenes de reservas se quedaron en eso o fueron efectivamente empleadas como exámenes para los alumnos con coincidencia horaria o que realizaron la prueba en otra fecha (debido a motivo de salud u otras justificaciones).
En cualquier caso nos encontramos con un juego de 68 cuestiones y otras tantas imágenes, Teniendo en cuentas que muchas de ellas se repiten, el conjunto queda reducido a 27 preguntas y 48 obras de arte. Llamaríamos a este repertorio «inventario», pero más bien merece el apelativo de «autopsia», pues el este modelo de examen se despide en el presente curso 2015-2016 con sólo cuatro años de rodaje. Con todo, tal vez subsista como modelo de transición para los alumnos que hayan cursado el actual modelo de bachillerato y se presenten a futuras pruebas. Algo así pasó con los alumnos del COU entre los años 2001 y 2003.
Pero volviendo al análisis de los juegos de exámenes de los últimos tres años, habrá que empezar por el diseño de esta prueba. Y advertir que el modelo que lo organiza no aparece descrito como tal en las directrices y orientaciones de la asignatura (al igual que el que sustituyó y que se venía aplicando desde el curso 2006-2007). En ambos casos se trata de acuerdos tomados por la ponencia y que se renovaban cada años.
Si la selección de contenidos cambia, el modelo de examen ha venido mantenido el mismo formato. Consta de dos opciones: «A» y «B», de las cuales el alumno desarrollará una. En cada una de ellas habrá de contestar obligatoriamente al comentario de dos láminas y a dos preguntas del programa.
En el modelo iniciado en el curso 2012-2013 el reparto se realizaba de la siguiente manera:
La Opción A: contiene dos cuestiones teóricas y dos ilustraciones para clasificar y comentar. Tantos las primeras como las segundas procederán de la parte del temario comprendida entre las Arte Prehistórico) y Arte Gótico, ambos inclusive.
La Opción B: contiene dos cuestiones teóricas y dos ilustraciones para clasificar y comentar. Tantos las primeras como las segundas procederán de la parte del temario comprendida entre el Arte Renacentista y el Arte del siglo XX), ambos inclusive. O sea que versará exclusivamente sobre el Arte Moderno y el Arte Contemporáneo.
Como ya sucedía en el anterior diseño de examen, no se incorporarán contenidos ni del Arte Ibérico ni del Arte Mudéjar.
El anterior modelo de examen estuvo vigente entre los cursos 2006-2007 y 2012-2012. En este período se organizaban los contenidos de la siguiente forma:
- La opción «A» constaba de dos preguntas y dos comentarios de lámina de Historia del Arte procedentes del Arte Prehistórico, el Arte Egipcio, el Arte Griego, el Arte Romano, el Arte Paleocristiano, el Arte Bizantino (estos dos comparten un único tema), el Arte Musulmán, el Arte Románico, el Arte Gótico, el Arte Renacentista y el Arte Barroco.
- La opción «B» constaba de dos preguntas y dos comentarios de lámina de Historia del Arte procedentes del Arte Musulmán, el Arte Románico, el Arte Gótico, el Arte Renacentista, el Arte Barroco, el Arte Neoclásico, el Arte del Siglo XIX y el Arte del Siglo XX.
Por tanto en cualquiera de las dos opciones, y esa es la gran diferencia con el modelo de 2013, podrían ser escogidos el Arte Musulmán, el Arte Románico, el Arte Gótico, el Arte Renacentista y el Arte Barroco. En la práctica, esta situación de privilegio se tradujo en una preponderancia absoluta del Renacimiento y del Barroco.
Cabría esperar, por tanto, que el cambio de diseño supondría una mayor presencia de los estilos anteriormente relegados (El prehistórico, el egipcio, el griego, el romano, el paleocristiano-bizantino, el neoclásico, el decimonónico y el novocentista). Pero esta alternativa no se produjo, por lo que se ha mantenido una continuidad absoluta que ha borrado cualquier impresión de barrera entre un modelo y otro.
Así, si bien es cierto que el arte prehistórico y la pintura del siglo XIX van ganando en protagonismo, lo cierto es que estas tendencias se iniciaron antes del curso 2012-2013. Además el Renacimiento y el Barroco han seguido manteniendo su posición preponderante. En fin, si se observa el ranquin de preguntas y obras de arte que incluimos al final, no se observarán diferencias significativas entre las que gozaban de preferencias antes de 2013.
Por señalar algunas tendencias propias de este último período puede apuntarse en la opción «A» el ascenso imparable del paleocristiano y del bizantino, la caída en picado de la mezquita de Córdoba (como imagen a comentar) y el auge de la pintura ítalo-gótica. En la opción «B» los contenidos que han sido escogidos en más ocasiones han sido Bernini (tanto arquitecto como escultor y tanto en pregunta como en comentarios), Goya (como pregunta o como comentario), Delacroix y la pintura del siglo XIX y, como obvio comentario, la Villa Saboya de Le Corbusier.
Secuenciado por temas, y de forma exhaustiva, nos encontramos con las siguientes preguntas y obras de arte escogidas.

La persecuzione e la sofferenza mi hanno fatto amare Dio ancora di più
di Liu Zhen, provincia dello Shandong
Mi chiamo Liu Zhen. Ho 78 anni, e sono una semplice cristiana della Chiesa di Dio Onnipotente. Sono grata a Dio Onnipotente per avere scelto me, una donna anziana di un villaggio rurale, niente di speciale agli occhi del mondo. Dopo che ho accettato l’opera di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni, ho pregato Dio quotidianamente, ho ascoltato letture della parola di Dio, ho partecipato a incontri e sono stata in comunione con i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle; gradualmente, ho cominciato a capire alcune verità e ad avere una comprensione chiara di certe cose. Mi sentivo piena di gioia, e vivevo con una felicità che non avevo mai provato prima. Dato che sono anziana e ho difficoltà a camminare, non ero in grado di uscire di casa per andare agli incontri della Chiesa; quindi, preoccupati per me, i miei fratelli e sorelle si riunivano a casa mia. Non mancavano mai un incontro, nel gelo dell’inverno o nell’arsura dell’estate; né il vento, né la pioggia, né la neve hanno mai impedito loro di venirmi a trovare e di aver cura di me, una semplice donna anziana. In particolare, quando leggevamo la parola di Dio, se c’era qualcosa che non capivo, lo condividevano sempre con me con pazienza, senza mai ignorarmi né guardarmi dall’alto in basso. Ne ero profondamente commossa perché, se non fosse stato per l’amore di Dio, chi mai mi avrebbe mostrato tanta pazienza e tanto affetto? Nelle mie interazioni con i miei fratelli e sorelle, ho notato che erano molto differenti dai laici. Quello che vivevano era tolleranza e amore, erano in grado di aprire i loro cuori e di trattarsi l’un l’altro con sincerità, senza barriere né distanze tra loro. Erano uniti come una famiglia, e questo mi ha resa ancora più certa riguardo all’opera di Dio Onnipotente. Man mano che comprendevo nuove verità, mi sono resa conto che avrei dovuto compiere il mio dovere in quanto essere creato, quindi ho detto alla Chiesa che avevo intenzione di assumermi qualche responsabilità. Tuttavia, poiché la mia età mi impediva di assolvere la maggior parte delle funzioni, la Chiesa mi ha incaricata di svolgere la funzione di ospite a casa mia. Ho accettato, grata a Dio per avermi assegnato un compito adeguato alle mie capacità. Così, andavo molto d’accordo con i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle e provavo una grande sensazione di sollievo sia nel corpo che nella mente. Anche alcune malattie delle quali soffrivo hanno cominciato a migliorare, quindi ero ancora più grata a Dio Onnipotente per la Sua grazia e la Sua misericordia.
Tuttavia, i tempi felici non sono durati a lungo, poiché io e i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle del villaggio siamo stati denunciati da un malvagio. I miei fratelli e le mie sorelle sono stati tutti arrestati dalla polizia, che ha ordinato al segretario di partito del villaggio di portare anche me alla stazione di polizia. Giunta lì, la polizia mi ha chiesto: “Come sei giunta a credere in Dio? Perché credi in Dio?”. Ho risposto: “Credere in Dio è un principio immutabile. Leggendo la parola di Dio ogni giorno possiamo comprendere molte verità, essere brave persone secondo la Sua parola e seguire il giusto cammino nella vita. Chi crede in Dio non picchia né insulta altre persone, e obbedisce sempre alla legge. Quindi, cosa c’è di sbagliato nel credere in Dio? Perché ci arrestate?” L’agente mi ha guardata con disprezzo e mi ha chiesto in modo sgarbato: “Chi ti ha predicato il Vangelo? C’è qualcun altro nella tua famiglia che è credente?” Ho detto che ero l’unica nella mia famiglia a essere credente. Si sono resi conto che non avrebbero ottenuto alcuna informazione da me, quindi mi hanno rilasciata quel giorno stesso. Dopo essere andata via, mi sono chiesta perché la polizia mi avesse lasciata andare con tanta facilità. Solo una volta tornata a casa ho appreso che, quando i miei familiari avevano scoperto che ero stata portata alla stazione di polizia, avevano usato i loro contatti e versato la somma di 3.000 Yuan perché fossi rilasciata. Ma la polizia stava ancora seminando il disaccordo tra me e la mia famiglia, poiché aveva chiesto loro di impedirmi di credere in Dio. Mia nuora ha litigato con mio figlio per questo, e ha minacciato di suicidarsi bevendo del pesticida se avessi continuato a credere in Dio. È a questo punto che mi sono resa conto che la polizia del Partito Comunista Cinese è marcia fino al midollo. Avevo una famiglia perfettamente pacifica, e loro avevano agitato tanto le acque che adesso eravamo come cane e gatto! Io credevo nell’unico vero Dio che ha creato ogni cosa in cielo e in terra, e oggi Dio Onnipotente è venuto a salvarci chiedendoci di capire la verità, di vivere a sembianza d’uomo, di parlare e comportarci in maniera consona alla nostra coscienza e a ciò che è giusto, e di non agire contro la nostra umanità o la nostra morale. Non ho fatto altro che stare a casa a leggere la parola di Dio, organizzare incontri e compiere il mio dovere, il mio dovere, ma la polizia del Partito Comunista Cinese mi ha incastrata e mi ha accusata di “disturbo dell’ordine pubblico”. Ha alterato apertamente i fatti, distorto deliberatamente la verità, accusato arbitrariamente le persone di falsi crimini! Satana è davvero spregevole. Non erano che sfacciate calunnie, diffamazione maliziosa. La polizia aveva appreso da quell’informatore che io ospitavo incontri con i miei fratelli e sorelle nella mia casa, quindi dopo quel fatto non hanno smesso di tormentarmi. Poco dopo, mi hanno portata alla stazione di polizia per interrogarmi, e mi hanno minacciata dicendo: “Dicci i nomi dei leader della tua Chiesa e di quelli che ospiti in occasione degli incontri. Se non ce li dirai, ti chiuderemo in prigione!” Fermamente ma con correttezza, ho risposto: “Non so nulla! Non ho niente da dirvi!” La polizia era furente oltre ogni dire ma, dato che Dio mi proteggeva, non hanno osato mettermi le mani addosso.
Dopo avermi rilasciata, la polizia ha continuato a sorvegliarmi nella vana speranza di usarmi come esca per catturare un “pesce più grosso”. Avevo paura di coinvolgere i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle, quindi non osavo più tenermi in contatto con loro e perciò mi sono estraniata dalla vita della Chiesa. Senza di essa mi sentivo vuota nel cuore e priva di un rifugio, e mi sono gradualmente allontanata da Dio. Ogni giorno vivevo nel panico e nella paura, temendo nel profondo che la polizia sarebbe di nuovo venuta a prendermi. In precedenza avevo passato le giornate ascoltando la parola di Dio, e i Sermoni e la Condivisione, ma ora questo era impossibile perché, se mi avessero vista pregare o se avessi anche solo pronunciato la parola “Dio”, la mia famiglia mi avrebbe fatto una bella ramanzina. Mia nuora mi parlava sempre con freddezza perché ero stata multata dalla polizia, mentre mio marito e mio figlio mi rimproveravano di continuo. La famiglia che una volta aveva supportato la mia fede in Dio Onnipotente ora mi osteggiava e mi perseguitava in ogni modo. Questo mi riempiva di tristezza, il mio spirito si sentiva oppresso, vivevo in un’oscurità e un dolore mai sperimentati prima. Non avendo letture della parola di Dio da ascoltare ed essendo impossibile per me essere in comunione con i miei fratelli e sorelle, il mio spirito si sentiva incredibilmente arido. Ogni notte mi rigiravo nel letto, non riuscivo a dormire: spesso sentivo la mancanza delle ore felici che avevo passato negli incontri con i miei fratelli e sorelle. In momenti come quelli, odiavo il governo del Partito Comunista Cinese che aveva provocato tutta la mia infelicità, che mi aveva fatto perdere il diritto, spettante a ogni essere creato, di credere liberamente in Dio e di adorarLo, che mi aveva fatto perdere la mia vita nella Chiesa, mi aveva impedito di condividere in merito alla parola di Dio con i miei fratelli e con le mie sorelle, nonché di compiere il mio dovere. Nella mia infelicità, potevo solo pregare Dio in silenzio: “Oh, Dio! Vivo nell’oscurità, sento che il mio spirito si è inaridito, e desidero vivere la vita della Chiesa con i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle. Oh, Dio! Ti supplico di aprirmi una via!”
Mi sono presentata di fronte a Dio e ho continuato a invocarLo così. Dio ha davvero ascoltato le mie preghiere, poiché ha fatto sì che i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle mi venissero a trovare. Una delle sorelle sapeva che spesso mi recavo nei campi a raccogliere il cotone, quindi, in segreto, è venuta lì per incontrarmi, e abbiamo stabilito un orario per vederci lì. Ogni volta che ci incontravamo, uscivo presto nel campo per raccogliere il cotone; mentre tutti gli altri pranzavano, io mi accucciavo nel campo con la mia sorella per leggere la parola di Dio. Vedere la mia sorella è stato come vedere un parente perduto da tempo. Non potevo smettere di piangere di gioia. Le ho raccontato dell’ingiustizia e della tristezza che avevo sopportato, e anche delle incomprensioni con la mia famiglia. Mi ha confortata mentre le parole di Dio mi nutrivano, e abbiamo condiviso in merito alla volontà di Dio; gradualmente, la mia situazione ha cominciato a migliorare. La persecuzione da parte del governo del Partito Comunista Cinese ha fatto sì che potessimo incontrarci soltanto accucciate in un campo di cotone. Un giorno, abbiamo letto un passaggio della parola di Dio: “Fra di voi, non esiste un uomo che riceva la protezione della legge; anzi, siete penalizzati dalla legge e la difficoltà maggiore è che nessun uomo vi comprende, neanche i vostri parenti, i vostri genitori, i vostri amici o i vostri colleghi. Nessuno vi comprende. Quando Dio vi rifiuta, non avete modo di continuare a vivere sulla terra. Malgrado ciò, a dispetto di tutto, la gente non può sopportare di abbandonare Dio; questo è il significato della conquista della gente da parte di Dio, e questa è la gloria di Dio. […] Non si possono ricevere le benedizioni in uno o due giorni; vanno guadagnate con molto sacrificio. In altre parole, dovete avere un amore raffinato, una grande fede e le molte verità che Dio vi chiede di raggiungere; inoltre, dovete essere in grado di volgere lo sguardo alla giustizia e non essere mai intimiditi o sottomessi, e amare costantemente e incessantemente Dio. Vi viene chiesto di essere decisi, come pure di cambiare la vostra indole di vita; occorre correggere la vostra corruzione e dovete accettare tutto ciò che Dio vi ordina senza lamentarvi, e sapere persino essere obbedienti fino alla morte. Questo è quanto dovete conseguire. Questo è lo scopo finale dell’opera di Dio e ciò che Egli esige da questo gruppo di persone” (“Il lavoro di Dio è così semplice come crede l’uomo?” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). La parola di Dio mi ha fatto capire che per me era necessario sopportare la sofferenza di quel periodo. La Cina è una nazione dominata dall’ateismo nella quale chi crede in Dio è perseguitato e deriso, ma tale sofferenza era temporanea e limitata, ed era stata organizzata con attenzione da Dio per perfezionare la mia fede in Lui e la mia obbedienza nei Suoi confronti, in modo che io potessi, in futuro, ricevere meglio la Sua promessa e le Sue benedizioni. Non desideravo più nient’altro, perché avere Dio era sufficiente. Allo stesso tempo, mi sono resa conto che le leggi promulgate dal governo del Partito Comunista Cinese non erano che semplici trucchi per ingannare le persone. Agli occhi del mondo esterno il governo sostiene la libertà religiosa, ma in realtà i credenti in Dio non hanno nemmeno il diritto di leggerNe la parola o di incontrarsi. Semplicemente, il governo non tollera l’esistenza di chi crede in Dio e non consente alle persone di seguire Dio o la retta via nella vita. Proprio come dice Dio Onnipotente: “Libertà religiosa? Diritti e interessi legittimi dei cittadini? Sono tutti trucchi per celare il peccato!” (“Lavoro e ingresso (8)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). I cieli e la terra creati da Dio sono vasti, ma in Cina chi crede in Dio non ha nessun appiglio. Chiunque creda in Dio viene arrestato e perseguitato dal Partito Comunista Cinese e la sua libertà viene limitata. Il Partito Comunista Cinese non desidera nulla di più che sterminare ogni singolo credente in Dio e trasformare la Cina in una nazione senza Dio. Il Partito Comunista Cinese è così corrotto, malvagio e reazionario. È davvero incompatibile con Dio, è un nemico di Dio che non Ne tollera l’esistenza!
Così, ho continuato a incontrare mia sorella in segreto, nel campo di cotone. Ma il tempo passava, e stava per arrivare l’inverno. Le foglie delle piante di cotone si appassivano e cadevano, e il campo non ci dava più una copertura per i nostri incontri, quindi mi sono ritrovata nuovamente senza fratelli né sorelle con i quali condividere la parola di Dio. Inizialmente sono stata in grado di tener fede alla parola di Dio e di mantenere un normale rapporto con Lui, ma senza ciò che la parola di Dio mi forniva, senza il suo nutrimento, il mio spirito si è fatto sempre più arido e secco, e ben presto sono caduta nuovamente nell’oscurità. Era come se fossi precipitata dal paradiso all’inferno, ed ero così infelice che anche la morte sarebbe stata preferibile. La mia famiglia credeva nelle menzogne della polizia, quindi mi teneva d’occhio ogni giorno e minacciava di picchiarmi se avessi continuato a credere in Dio Onnipotente. Non osavo pregare in casa; potevo farlo soltanto di notte, sotto le coperte, o quando non c’era nessuno in casa. Passavo ogni giorno così. Oltre a sopportare le recriminazioni della mia famiglia, dovevo sopportare anche le chiacchiere e i pettegolezzi della gente del villaggio. Di fronte a tutto questo mi sentivo particolarmente infelice, debole e impotente nello spirito, ero giù di morale ogni giorno. Sentivo che, avendo perso la vita della Chiesa, impossibilitata a leggere la parola di Dio e a vedere i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle, il semplice fatto di essere viva fosse un tormento e avesse perso tutta la sua gioia. Ripensavo a come, in passato, quando mi sentivo debole e affranta, le parole di Dio mi avevano sempre confortata, i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle mi avevano sempre sostenuta con pazienza e a come, una volta capita la volontà di Dio, mi ero sentita immediatamente a mio agio e libera, e il mio morale tornava a sollevarsi. Ma ora, a causa della persecuzione e della sorveglianza da parte della polizia, avevo perso il diritto di leggere la parola di Dio e non potevo nemmeno vedere i miei fratelli e le mie sorelle. Ogni giorno era uno sforzo, lungo e difficile; vedendo come campavo senza sentirmi viva, come se fossi morta, e ripensando a quanto ero stata piena di vita in passato, quando vivevo alla presenza di Dio nella Chiesa, mi sentivo afflitta e profondamente infelice. Quando poi ripensavo a come la mia famiglia fosse stata presa in giro e ingannata dal Partito Comunista Cinese, a come non mi capisse e a come avesse seguito le istruzioni del Partito nel limitare la mia libertà, sentivo il mio cuore spezzarsi ancora di più. Proprio quando mi sembrava di non avere più nessuno cui rivolgermi, pregavo Dio in continuazione supplicandoLo di aprirmi una via. “Oh, Dio! Ora non posso leggere la Tua parola né vivere la vita della Chiesa, e questa vita è diventata insopportabile per me. Oh, Dio! La mia famiglia è stata ingannata dal Partito Comunista Cinese e prova con tutte le forze a impedirmi di credere in Te. Ti prego, aiutami, permettimi di testimoniare le Tue azioni e fa’ sì che i miei familiari non siano più ingannati e usati da Satana. Oh, Dio! Desidero affidarTi la mia famiglia, e Ti chiedo di mostrarmi una via d’uscita”.
Grazie a Dio, Egli ha davvero ascoltato le mie preghiere. Qualche tempo dopo, una sera, sono improvvisamente svenuta davanti al letto. Mio marito era terrorizzato e non sapeva cosa fare, così mio figlio ha chiamato subito i servizi di emergenza. Quando il primo ospedale che ha risposto ha scoperto che la paziente era una vecchia gravemente malata, ha rifiutato di accettarmi. Mio figlio ha chiamato il numero di emergenza di un altro ospedale, e il medico ha detto che non avevo molte possibilità di tornare in me, che non aveva senso darsi da fare per salvarmi, che la mia famiglia avrebbe dovuto prepararsi al peggio. Ma mio figlio si è rifiutato di lasciar perdere, e li ha supplicati finché non hanno potuto fare altro che cedere e portarmi all’ospedale. Però, anche dopo le procedure di pronto soccorso, sono rimasta priva di conoscenza. Non c’era nulla che i medici potessero fare, e la mia famiglia era sicura che non sarei sopravvissuta. Ma nulla è impossibile per Dio, perché è stato allora che è avvenuto un miracolo! Dopo essere rimasta in un grave stato di coma per 18 ore, sono lentamente tornata in me. Tutti i presenti erano sbalorditi. Quando ho aperto gli occhi e ho visto i dottori, ho pensato di avere di fronte degli angeli. Ho chiesto loro dove fossi, uno mi ha risposto che ero in ospedale; mentre controllavano freneticamente i miei segni vitali, continuavano a borbottare: “È davvero un miracolo…” Ben presto mi sono alzata a sedere; avevo molta fame. L’infermiera mi ha dato da mangiare. Quando ho finito, mi sono sentita piena di forza e di energia. Sapevo che era stato uno degli atti miracolosi di Dio Onnipotente, che Dio aveva ascoltato le mie preghiere e che aveva aperto una via per me. Seduta sul letto, non sono riuscita a trattenermi dal cantare lodi a Dio. Il medico, stupito, non ha potuto fare a meno di chiedermi: “Signora, chi è questo Dio in cui lei crede?” Ho risposto: “Credo nell’unico vero Dio, che ha creato ogni cosa in cielo e in terra: Dio Onnipotente!” Il medico ha reagito guardandomi stupito, mentre la mia famiglia era sorpresa e felicissima nel vedermi cantare. Una volta uscita dall’ospedale, sono tornata a casa; uno alla volta, i miei vicini sono venuti a trovarmi e dicevano: “Incredibile! Tutti i medici avevano detto che non c’erano speranze, e invece ti sei svegliata. È un miracolo!” Ho testimoniato Dio con loro, dicendo che la mia guarigione era dovuta al grande potere di Dio, che Lui mi aveva salvata, che senza di Lui sarei morta, che era stato Dio a darmi un’altra possibilità di vivere. Ho detto loro che tutta l’umanità è stata creata da Dio, che è Dio a darci la vita, che Dio organizza e gestisce le nostre vite, che la gente non può allontanarsi dalla Sua guida perché allontanarsi da Dio significa morire. Dopo quell’esperienza, la mia famiglia ha smesso di opporsi alla mia fede in Dio, e Dio mi ha anche donato una benedizione inattesa: anche mio marito ha accettato la fase corrente dell’opera di Dio. Dopo quel momento, mio marito è venuto spesso con me agli incontri di condivisione e io mi sono sentita davvero felice, in pace e al sicuro. Da allora ho passato ogni giorno nella gioia, perché avevo davvero visto la saggezza e l’onnipotenza di Dio, e ho ringraziato e lodato Dio dal profondo del cuore!
Grazie alla mia esperienza, sono arrivata a comprendere davvero che, qualunque cosa Dio faccia a una persona, lo fa per amore. Dietro al fatto che Dio abbia permesso a Satana di perseguitarmi si celano le Sue buone intenzioni. Il Partito Comunista Cinese avrebbe voluto utilizzare il mio arresto e la persecuzione per spingermi a rinunciare a Dio e a tradirLo, ma non aveva idea che la saggezza di Dio si esercita sulla base dei trucchetti di Satana. Non solo l’oppressione da parte del Partito Comunista Cinese ha fallito nell’intento di spingermi a rinunciare a Dio e a tradirLo, ma mi ha anche consentito di vedere con chiarezza l’essenza malvagia del Partito nel suo resistere a Dio e agire contro il cielo, rendendo ancora più salda la mia certezza che la parola di Dio è la via, la verità e la vita! Mi ha anche permesso di vedere il grande potere e le azioni miracolose di Dio, rafforzando così il mio amore e la mia fedeltà nei Suoi confronti. Proprio come dice la parola di Dio Onnipotente: “Nel Mio progetto, Satana è rimasto sempre alle calcagna cercando di azzannare a ogni passo e, facendo da contrasto alla Mia sapienza, ha sempre cercato di trovare dei modi e dei mezzi per sconvolgere il Mio progetto originario. Ma potrei Io soccombere alle sue macchinazioni ingannevoli? Tutto in cielo e in terra è al Mio servizio: le macchinazioni ingannevoli di Satana potrebbero forse essere diverse? Proprio questa è l’intersezione della Mia sapienza, è proprio ciò che è portentoso riguardo ai Miei atti ed è il principio secondo cui viene attuato l’intero Mio piano di gestione” (Capitolo 8 di “Parole di Dio all’intero universo” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Più il Partito Comunista Cinese resiste follemente a Dio e perseguita il popolo da Lui eletto, più noi siamo in grado di capire e abbandonare il Partito, di comprendere la verità e di conoscere la saggezza e gli atti miracolosi di Dio. La nostra fede nel seguire Dio cresce a sua volta, e diventiamo più capaci di prestare risonante testimonianza a Dio. Tramite l’esperienza della persecuzione da parte del Partito Comunista Cinese, ho visto con chiarezza che, nell’opera di Dio, Satana funge semplicemente da contrasto, da strumento di servizio per Dio; e ho anche riconosciuto in maniera più chiara il sincero desiderio di Dio di salvare l’umanità. In futuro, qualunque difficoltà o ostacolo dovrò affrontare, desidero compiere il mio dovere il meglio possibile e fare la mia parte per soddisfare la volontà di Dio.

My mother is a doll maker - she makes character dolls and sometimes shows them in expositons. She never sells them, though.
This doll is her mother - my grandmother. She made it after my grandmother died. I recognized my grandmother the moment I saw the doll.
We called her Oma Vaassen: Oma means "grandmother" and Vaassen was the place where she lived, and where my mother grew up. Vaasssen is about 10 km from where we lived, and Oma Vaassen came visiting us on her bike until she was over 80 years old.
She got married when she was about 22 years old - she had to, because she was pregnant. Probably she never wanted to have children, but she had four anyway. Not that she did not love them - actually, it was almost impossible for her to let them go when they grew up. My mother had to rebel when she wanted to marry my dad - she was 24 at the time but Oma Vaassen wouldn't let her go. They did not see each other for 10 years but then Oma visited us and apologized. From that day on, I had a new grandmother. And quite a special one, too.
Her character was quite dominant. She was never shy to give her opinion and she preferably did it in a such a loud voice that the whole village could hear it. She was a bit neurotic, and easily panicked - she carried a knife around when she was 70 because she feared rapists. She would shout out in the middle of a store that she always kept her money hidden between her tits. And in our family, 'my bag! my bag! my bag!' became a fixed expression meaning 'I'm looking for something and I can't find it but I need it now my god where is it!' referring to the way Oma Vaassen panicked when she couldn't find her bag.
She had a very large social network - she basically knew everybody, and kept telling all gossip about everybody to everybody, making a lot of things up along the way. Persons who scratched their knees bled to death in her version of the story. This did not necessarily make her very popular with everybody, but she made sure that there always was a warm and lively atmosphere whenever she was around.
Her husband, my grandfather, was a very silent and introverted man, who was either busy gardening or turning the knobs on his antique radio. He hardly ever spoke a word, but nobody noticed as long as Oma Vaassen was around.
Actually, the whole marriage was a disaster. When I was little they did not say even one word to each other - they kept up complete silence for over 20 years. Yet, she came home to cook for him, every single day.
When they grew older, the ice thawed somewhat - they slept in separate rooms but got back on speaking terms and actually held a large celebration at their 50th marriage anniversary.
She led a very active life. Of course, raising a family in the 1940s was not easy. My mother still remembers her smashing plates against the walls in anger when she discovered that she expected her fourth child - in 1945, when due to German occupation there was almost nothing left to eat. It turned out relatively well because my mom's younger sister was born when the war was over - but the family still lived in extreme poverty.
When her children had left home, she became politically and socially active - she had always supported Labor Party (which was the natural thing for a working class family) but in the 1970s she became a feminist with communist sympathies. Quite impressive for a simple person with almost no education. She took a job in a local factory and became active for a local political party that wanted more facilities for the population of Vaassen (instead of having everything in Epe, the principal town of the municipality). I admire her initiatives but I'm not sure how much good she did to the party...
I always loved visiting her. Her house was something quite out of the ordinary. The whole social life was centered around the little kitchen with grandmother making coffee and serving cookies and everybody (she always had visitors, somehow) sitting around the same table (grandfather in his own seat by the radio, not communicating much). There was a living room but over the years that room filled up with all the stuff Oma Vaassen picked up along the way - after years of war and poverty, she could not stand the idea of people throwing stuff away. She collected it all. There were hundreds of dolls that missed a leg. Jigsaw puzzles that missed pieces. And in the former children's bedroom enough clothes for a medium sized town. And lots of plants standing in between all the junk - and they were taken care of with the utmost love and care.
And, she was the best grandmother a kid could have. She was always kind and very fond of all of us. She had almost too much love for everything alive (I didn't even speak about the goat they kept in the house when my mom was little...) It was impossible not to love Aleida Wilhelmina Kok - or Lei, for friends. And the doll looks exactly like her.
Mijn moeder is poppenmaakster – ze maakt karakterpoppen en stelt ze ook tentoon. Maar ze verkoopt ze nooit.
Deze pop is haar moeder – mijn oma. Ze maakte hem toen mijn oma al dood was. Ik herkende mijn oma erin zodra ik de pop zag.
We noemden haar Oma Vaassen, naar de plaats waar ze woonde, en waar mijn moeder ook was opgegroeid. Vaassen is zo’n 10 km van de plek waar wij woonden, en Oma Vaassen kwam ons op de fiets bezoeken tot ze al over de 80 was.
Ze trouwde toen ze zo’n 22 jaar oud was – ze moest trouwen, want ze was zwanger. Eigenlijk wilde ze helemaal geen kinderen, maar ze kreeg er wel vier. Niet dat ze niet van ze hield – integendeel, ze had de grootste moeite om ze los te laten toen ze groot werden. Mijn moeder moest in verzet komen toen ze met mijn vader wilde trouwen. 24 was ze toen, maar Oma Vaassen liet haar niet gaan. Ze hebben elkaar zo’n tien jaar niet gezien, maar toen zocht Oma Vaassen ons op en bood haar verontschuldigingen aan. Vanaf die dag had ik er een oma bij. En nog een hele bijzondere ook.
Ze was nogal dominant van karakter. Ze stak haar mening niet onder stoelen of banken en ze deed dat bij voorkeur zo hard dat het hele dorp kon meeluisteren. Ze was enigszins neurotisch en snel in paniek – op haar 70ste had ze nog een mes bij zich omdat er overal verkrachters zitten. En midden in de supermarkt verkondigde ze luidkeels dat ze haar geld altijd verstopte “tuss’n de titt’n .” Bij ons thuis werd “Me tasje me tasje me tasje!” een gevleugelde uitspraak als je koortsachtig ergens naar liep te zoeken, vanwege Oma Vaassen die een keer in paniek raakte toen ze haar tasje niet kon vinden.
Ze had een uitgebreid sociaal netwerk – ze kende iedereen, en vertelde alle roddels over iedereen tegen iedereen, waarbij ze de helft er ter plekke bij verzon. Mensen met een schrammetje lagen in haar versie al snel dood te bloeden. Dit maakte haar niet bij iedereen even populair, maar het zorgde er wel voor dat het altijd gezellig en levendig was als zij er was.
Haar man, mijn opa, was een erg stille en teruggetrokken man, die of aan het tuinieren was, of aan z’n radio gekluisterd zat, aan de knoppen draaiend. Meestal sprak hij geen woord, maar dat merkte niemand, zolang Oma Vaassen in de buurt was.
Hun huwelijk was in feite één grote ramp. Toen ik klein was, spraken ze geen woord meer met elkaar – meer dan 20 jaar lang hebben ze dat zwijgen volgehouden. Toch kwam ze altijd iedere dag weer thuis om voor hem te koken.
Toen ze ouder werden, dooide het ijs een beetje. Ze bleven apart slapen maar praatten weer met elkaar, en gaven zelfs een groot 60-jarig huwelijksfeest.
Ze was heel actief. Het was natuurlijk niet makkelijk om in de jaren ’40 een gezin groot te brengen. Mijn moeder herinnert zich nog hoe haar moeder al het servies in woede tegen de muur smeet toen ze ontdekte dat ze zwanger was van haar vierde kind – in 1945, toen er bijna niks meer te eten was. Het pakte gelukkig relatief goed uit, omdat mijn moeders jongere zus geboren is toen de oorlog al voorbij was – maar ze leefden nog wel in grote armoede.
Toen de kinderen de deur uit waren, werd ze ook actief op politiek en sociaal terrein – ze had natuurlijk altijd PvdA gestemd (de logische keus voor een arbeidersgezin) maar in je jaren ’70 werd ze feministisch en kreeg ze communistische sympathieën. Niet niks voor een eenvoudige vrouw met alleen lagere school. Ze nam een baan in een fabriek en werd actief voor de Nieuwe Lijn, een locale partij die streed voor meer voorzieningen in Vaassen (en niet alleen voor de gemeentehoofdplaats Epe). Ik bewonder haar initiatief maar vraag me wel eens af hoeveel goed ze die partij nou echt gedaan heeft…
Het was altijd fijn om bij haar op bezoek te gaan. Haar huis was heel bijzonder. Het hele sociale leven vond plaats in de kleine keuken, waar Oma Vaassen koffie zette en koekjes uitdeelde aan alle mensen die rond de keukentafel zaten (en bezoek was er eigenlijk altijd wel). Opa zat in z’n eigen stoel bij de radio en zei niet veel. Een woonkamer was er ook wel, maar die raakte in de loop der jaren helemaal verstopt met alle dingen die Oma Vaassen langs de weg vond – na jaren van oorlog en armoede kon ze het niet aanzien dat mensen dingen weggooiden, dus ze naam het dan maar mee. Ze verzamelde alles. Er waren honderden poppen met één been. Niet complete legpuzzels. En in de vroegere kinderslaapkamer genoeg kleren voor een heel dorp. En tussen alle zooi stonden overeral planten, die met de grootste liefde verzorgd werden.
Ze was de beste oma die een kind kan hebben. Ze was altijd aardige en ze was dol op ons allemaal. Ze had welhaast te eel liefde voor alles wat leefde (ik heb het nog niet eens gehad over de geit die ze in huis hielden toen m’n moeder klein was…) Het was onmogelijk om niet te houden van Aleida Wilhelmina Kok – of Lei, voor vrienden. En de pop lijkt precies op haar.

There are two parts
in me
One of them
is who I am
it is what makes me vibrate
it is the part that makes me create
it is what I am here to do
it is the part that knows Joy
it is the part that knows Light
it is the part that loves
it is the part that is open
it is the part that makes me live
The other one
is what I fear
it is the part that refuses all risk
it is what makes me hide from myself
it is the part that wants everything to remain as I know it
it is the part that compares
it is the part that is threatened
it is that wants to be told nice things
it is the part that wants to be safe
it is the part that knows Time
it is the part that is closed
it is the part that just wants to survive
Call them
however
you want
The second one
that dark and fearful part of myself
is very eloquent
and loud
it knows words
it knows thoughts
it knows how to reason
it knows how to argument
and
it never stops talking
The first one
the one that sees light
knows no words
no thoughts
no beliefs
no fleeting emotions
it knows presence
it knows eternity
and it is almost silent
The second one
that ever worrying part of myself
I learned it
at a time
I thought I would suffer
and maybe even disappear
if I didn't protect myself
from everything
around me
that part knows how to fight
The first one
I didn't learn
it was there
all the time
in me
it always was
it simply is
and
always will be
Fighting doesn't mean anything to it
nothing means anything to it
really
and even though
it is almost silent
even though is has no words
and no thoughts to form in my mind to defend itself ...
even though
the scared one is loud and restless and talking and thinking and reacting and getting scared and speeding up all the time ...
even though I am reminded by my fears that I never have enough time ...
that I am oh-so-very tired and I should go to sleep instead ...
even though ...
... I can still hear it
slowing down
and turning time itself against the fear
turning the silence
against the words and the thoughts
by letting go
of my own noise
and let it recede
for a moment
... I can still hear it
showing me who I am
showing me why I am here
what I am here to do
without any explanation
without any justification
just being there
... I can still hear it
showing me Beauty
...
And the noise starts again
the rushing traffic of pulsating thoughts invades again the place that was quiet
attracting my attention again and again
on everything that is scary
everything that could be dangerous
everything that I should regret
everything that I should worry about
trying to confuse me
trying to exhaust me
It seems unending
it seems that I'll never get rid of it
new scary thoughts will follow
the current scary thoughts
who followed
the previous scary thougts
and so on
forever
until
I fall
of exhaustion
Truth is
it may never stop
it may be that the fear will always be here
in that part of me
and that
it will never stop talking
inside of me
But
still
I have
a choice
The traffic is raging
screaming
but I don't have to let it run me over
That crazy traffic of thoughts
is loud
and unending
but all it wants
is to grab my attention
and never let it go
But ...
that's
entirely
for me
to choose
I can choose
where I focus my attention
I can choose
which of these parts I will listen to
which one I will follow
which one I will attend to
the scared traffic
or
the light
At every moment
I can choose
to yield
to my fears
to try to appease the worry for a short while
by going back to where I was before
to try to compare myself to who's around and feel unadequate
or threatened
or reassured for short while
to try to hide behind my walls to avoid being judged
for a short while
to try to ask for reassuring words
and try to convince myself thatI am indeed reassured
for a short while
to try to wear a better mask
to try to learn a better mask to wear
to try to buy a better mask to wear
until it wears out
in a short while
to try to numb myself
with food
with more noise
with more confusion
with my drug of choice
until it gets addictive
to try to distract myself
with cynicism
with resentment
with sneers
with mockery
for a short while
and with mocking the mockery
for another short while
to let my very own confusion exhaust me
and to accept all the rationalizations it readily hands me over
to let it make me so tired I feel I have no other option than going to bed
and not do anything
for a short while
All this will not change anything
the moment after that
the next day
the next year
will be the same
and so on
short while after short while
But ... that's exactly the point of all this
after all
Just surviving
...
Instead
I could
choose
to attend to that other part of myself
the one I cannot
simply
yield to
the part
I have to listen to
in the silence
the part
that requires me to
choose
to make silence
and
to actually make silence
the part
that requires me to
refuse to delightfully accept
the confusion
the part
that will never go away
that will never be swayed
that will never be convinced to stop from being
the one
that has no opposite
the one
that is
And
then
I can choose
to act upon
what I was shown
upon
who I am
This is a
choice
that needs to be
made
all the time
Once is not enough
once has never been enough
Every moment
I have this choice
of which part of me
I focus on
satisfying my fears by recoiling
or
getting out and play in the light
There is no bargain
there is no later
choosing later is the realm of fear
there is only a choice
right now
to listen to who I am
with great care
or
to accept what will keep me at a safe distance from it
Right now
after right now
after right now
...
which am I choosing to serve ?

The Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris), also known as the European Starling or just Starling, is a passerine bird in the family Sturnidae.
This species of starling is native to most of temperate Europe and western Asia. It is resident in southern and western Europe and southwestern Asia, while northeastern populations migrate south and west in winter to these regions, and also further south to areas where it does not breed in Iberia and north Africa. It has also been introduced to Australia, Argentina, New Zealand, North America, and South Africa.
There are several subspecies of the European Starling, which vary in the iridescence of adult plumage. With gradual variation over geographic range and extensive intergradation, the subspecies are said to be clinal. Acceptance of different subspecies varies between different authorities. (wikipedia)
Taken in Howth, Co. Dublin. A stunning bird in winter plumage, much maligned!

All Saints Cemetery
This Cemetery stands on Jesmond Road, opposite Jesmond Old Cemetery and was the first cemetery in Newcastle to be instigated by the Burial Board. Consecrated in 1855 and opened in 1856 this was very much a rural part of Newcastle. The residential housing surrounding the cemetery on 3 sides were built later.
Noted Newcastle architect Benjamin Green designed the cemetery, its buildings and the fine Gothic archway over the entrance from Jesmond Road. The cemetery is surrounded by cast iron railings with fleur-de-lys heads.
The cemetery was extended to Osborne Avenue, from just under 10 acres by another 1.3 hectares in 1881.
In 1924 Carliol Square Gaol was demolished and the bodies of its executed criminals were transferred into unmarked graves in the cemetery.
In total around 90,000 burials have taken place here.
Thomas Harrison Hair (1810-1875) the artist best known for his Views of the Collieries of Northumberland and Durham, is buried here in an unmarked grave.

Burials:
Samuel Smith.
Celtic Cross monument. Samuel Smith OBE JP (1872-1949) was the founder of Rington's Tea. He was born in Leeds and became an errand boy for a tea merchants on leaving school at 11. In 1908 he moved to Newcastle and set up a small shop in Heaton with William Titterington. They called the company Ringtons. The tea was imported from India and Sri Lanka then tasted, blended and packaged. It was delivered by the company's black, gold and green horse-drawn coaches. In 1926 the business moved to purpose-built premises in Algernon Road. Eventually there were 26 branches of Ringtons in the North. The firm moved into coachbuilding during the World Wars, which led to the creation of Smith's Electric Vehicles at Team Valley Trading Estate.
Alexander Gardner.
Cross monument. Alexander Gardner (1877-1921) was a footballer for Newcastle United. Before the First World War, Newcastle United were in the First Division, won three league titles and won one FA Cup final of three. Alexander was the captain and played at right half (midfielder). He made 268 appearances and scored 20 goals. He was born in Leith in 1899. The 1904/5 team won 23 out of 34 league games. In 1909 Alexander broke his leg, which ended his football career. He became landlord of the Dun Cow Inn in Claremont Road.
Michael Joseph Quigley.
Gravestone of Michael Joseph Quigley (1837-1924), American Civil War veteran. Michael was born in Bradford and emigrated to America with his wife shortly before the outbreak of civil war. He served under General Robert E. Lee in Virginia but was wounded in his left arm. He was later employed in Government Service. He returned to Britain in 1876. He lived in St. Lawrence Square off Walker Road. His income was subsidised by a pension from the American Government.
James Skinner.
Obelisk monument to James Skinner (1836-1920), shipbuilder. James was born in London. He moved to Newcastle aged 14 to begin an apprenticeship at Coutts shipyard at Low Walker. He went on to manage Andrew Leslie's shipyard at Hebburn then opened a yard at Bill Quay with William Wood, shipyard cashier. The firm Wood Skinner & Co. built 330 vessels over 42 years up to 1925. They also built the 30-bed Tyne Floating Hospital for Infectious Diseases at Jarrow Slake, designed by Newcastle Civil Engineer, George Laws. The hospital ship was launched on 2 August 1885. It sank in 1888. She was refloated and remained moored there for over 40 years.
Francis Batey.
Urn monument to Francis Batey (1841-1915), steam tug boat owner. Francis joined his father's tug boat business at the age of 11 and eventually gained his master's certificate. When the Albert Edward Dock opened in 1884, he was assistant pilot on the Rio Amazonas, the first ship to enter the dock. He went on to be chairman of several tug related companies on the River Tyne. One of his sons, John Thomas Batey, became Managing Director of Hawthorn Leslie's Hebburn shipyard.
Antonio Marcantonio.
Impressive monument of a statue of a monk or friar holding an infant. Antonio Marcantonio (1886-1960), ice cream manufacturer, arrived in Newcastle in 1895 to join a small colony of Italians living in Byker. In the early 1900s he returned to Italy to marry Angela. He returned to Newcastle and began making ice cream in a room in his house using small pans of salt and ice to freeze it. Eventually he took over a small factory on Stepney Bank. 500 gallons of ice cream were made daily. He also owned five ice cream parlours, the first one was in the Grainger Arcade. The Mark Toney business still flourishes (factory at Benton Square).

Monument of an angel to John James Lightfoot (1877-1897), apprentice joiner. John James was crushed to death aged 19 during restoration of the 200 year old Green Tree beerhouse in Robson's Entry, Sandgate.The building collapsed killing 4 people and injuring 12. The disaster was sketched by the Chronicle's artist and published on 6 March 1897 the day after the accident. The article describes the scene - 'in the house to the east there was a yawning space where the wall had tumbled in; behind the hole a staircase stood, but seemed, like the sword of Damocles, to have no more than a hair-strength to support it'.

John and Benjamin Green were a father and son who worked in partnership as architects in North East England during the early nineteenth century. John, the father was a civil engineer as well as an architect. Although they did carry out some commissions separately, they were given joint credit for many of their projects, and it is difficult to attribute much of their work to a single individual. In general, John Green worked on civil engineering projects, such as road and rail bridges, whereas Benjamin worked on projects that were more purely architectural. Their work was predominantly church and railway architecture, with a sprinkling of public buildings that includes their masterpiece, Newcastle's Theatre Royal.
Drawings by John and Benjamin Green are held by the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Biographies
John Green was born on 29 June 1787 at Newton Fell House, Nafferton, two miles north of Ovington, Northumberland. He was the son of Benjamin Green, a carpenter and maker of agricultural implements. After finishing school, he worked in his father's business. The firm moved to the market town of Corbridge and began general building work with young John concentrating on architectural work. About 1820, John set up business as an architect and civil engineer in nearby Newcastle upon Tyne.
John Green married Jane Stobart in 1805, and they had two sons, John (c.1807–68) and Benjamin (c1811-58), both of whom became architects. Little is known about the career of John, but Benjamin worked in partnership with his father on many projects.
In 1822 John Green designed a new building for the Newcastle Literary and Philosophical Society. The building, which houses the society's substantial library, is still in use today. He also designed a number of farmhouses, being employed on the Beaufront estate near Hexham and also on the Duke of Northumberland’s estates.
John Green was principally a civil engineer, and built several road and rail bridges. In 1829–31 he built two wrought-iron suspension bridges crossing the Tyne (at Scotswood) and the Tees (at Whorlton). The bridge at Scotswood was demolished in 1967 but the one at Whorlton still survives. When the High Level Bridge at Newcastle was proposed ten years later, John Green submitted plans, but those of Robert Stephenson were accepted by the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway. Green also built a number of bridges using an innovative system of laminated timber arches on masonry piers, the Weibeking system, based on the work of Bavarian engineer C.F. Weibeking. The two he built for the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, at the Ouseburn and at Willington Quay remain in use, though the timbers were replaced with wrought iron in a similar lattice pattern in 1869. In 1840 he was elected to the Institution of Civil Engineers, and in 1841 he was awarded the institution's Telford Medal for his work on laminated arch design.
John Green died in Newcastle on 30 September 1852.
Benjamin Green
Benjamin Green was a pupil of Augustus Charles Pugin, father of the more famous Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. In the mid-1830s he became a partner of his father and remained so until the latter's death in 1852. The two partners differed somewhat. John has been described as a 'plain, practical, shrewd man of business' with a 'plain, severe and economical' style, whereas Benjamin was 'an artistic, dashing sort of fellow', with a style that was 'ornamental, florid and costly'.
The Greens worked as railway architects and it is believed that all the main line stations between Newcastle and Berwick upon Tweed were designed by Benjamin. In 2020 Morpeth Station was restored to Green's original designs following a £2.3M investment. They also designed a number of Northumbrian churches, the best examples being at Earsdon and Cambo.
The Green's most important commissions in Newcastle were the Theatre Royal (1836–37) and the column for Grey's Monument (1837–38). Both of these structures were part of the re-development of Newcastle city centre in neo-classical style by Richard Grainger, and both exist today. Although both of the partners were credited with their design, it is believed that Benjamin was the person responsible.
Another well-known structure designed by the Greens is Penshaw Monument (1844). This is a folly standing on Penshaw Hill in County Durham. It was built as a half-sized replica of the renowned Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, and was dedicated to John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham and the first Governor of the Province of Canada. The monument, being built on a hill is visible for miles around and is a famous local landmark. It is now owned by the National Trust.
Benjamin Green survived his father by only six years, and died in a mental home at Dinsdale Park, County Durham on 14 November 1858.

Newcastle upon Tyne, or simply Newcastle is a cathedral city and metropolitan borough in Tyne and Wear, England. It is located on the River Tyne's northern bank, opposite Gateshead to the south. It is the most populous settlement in the Tyneside conurbation and North East England.
Newcastle developed around a Roman settlement called Pons Aelius, the settlement became known as Monkchester before taking on the name of a castle built in 1080 by William the Conqueror's eldest son, Robert Curthose. It was one of the world's largest ship building and repair centres during the industrial revolution. Newcastle was part of the county of Northumberland until 1400, when it separated and formed a county of itself. In 1974, Newcastle became part of Tyne and Wear. Since 2018, the city council has been part of the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
The history of Newcastle upon Tyne dates back almost 2,000 years, during which it has been controlled by the Romans, the Angles and the Norsemen amongst others. Newcastle upon Tyne was originally known by its Roman name Pons Aelius. The name "Newcastle" has been used since the Norman conquest of England. Due to its prime location on the River Tyne, the town developed greatly during the Middle Ages and it was to play a major role in the Industrial Revolution, being granted city status in 1882. Today, the city is a major retail, commercial and cultural centre.
Roman settlement
The history of Newcastle dates from AD 122, when the Romans built the first bridge to cross the River Tyne at that point. The bridge was called Pons Aelius or 'Bridge of Aelius', Aelius being the family name of Roman Emperor Hadrian, who was responsible for the Roman wall built across northern England along the Tyne–Solway gap. Hadrian's Wall ran through present-day Newcastle, with stretches of wall and turrets visible along the West Road, and at a temple in Benwell. Traces of a milecastle were found on Westgate Road, midway between Clayton Street and Grainger Street, and it is likely that the course of the wall corresponded to present-day Westgate Road. The course of the wall can be traced eastwards to the Segedunum Roman fort at Wallsend, with the fort of Arbeia down-river at the mouth of the Tyne, on the south bank in what is now South Shields. The Tyne was then a wider, shallower river at this point and it is thought that the bridge was probably about 700 feet (210 m) long, made of wood and supported on stone piers. It is probable that it was sited near the current Swing Bridge, due to the fact that Roman artefacts were found there during the building of the latter bridge. Hadrian himself probably visited the site in 122. A shrine was set up on the completed bridge in 123 by the 6th Legion, with two altars to Neptune and Oceanus respectively. The two altars were subsequently found in the river and are on display in the Great North Museum in Newcastle.
The Romans built a stone-walled fort in 150 to protect the river crossing which was at the foot of the Tyne Gorge, and this took the name of the bridge so that the whole settlement was known as Pons Aelius. The fort was situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the new bridge, on the site of the present Castle Keep. Pons Aelius is last mentioned in 400, in a Roman document listing all of the Roman military outposts. It is likely that nestling in the shadow of the fort would have been a small vicus, or village. Unfortunately, no buildings have been detected; only a few pieces of flagging. It is clear that there was a Roman cemetery near Clavering Place, behind the Central station, as a number of Roman coffins and sarcophagi have been unearthed there.
Despite the presence of the bridge, the settlement of Pons Aelius was not particularly important among the northern Roman settlements. The most important stations were those on the highway of Dere Street running from Eboracum (York) through Corstopitum (Corbridge) and to the lands north of the Wall. Corstopitum, being a major arsenal and supply centre, was much larger and more populous than Pons Aelius.
Anglo-Saxon development
The Angles arrived in the North-East of England in about 500 and may have landed on the Tyne. There is no evidence of an Anglo-Saxon settlement on or near the site of Pons Aelius during the Anglo-Saxon age. The bridge probably survived and there may well have been a small village at the northern end, but no evidence survives. At that time the region was dominated by two kingdoms, Bernicia, north of the Tees and ruled from Bamburgh, and Deira, south of the Tees and ruled from York. Bernicia and Deira combined to form the kingdom of Northanhymbra (Northumbria) early in the 7th century. There were three local kings who held the title of Bretwalda – 'Lord of Britain', Edwin of Deira (627–632), Oswald of Bernicia (633–641) and Oswy of Northumbria (641–658). The 7th century became known as the 'Golden Age of Northumbria', when the area was a beacon of culture and learning in Europe. The greatness of this period was based on its generally Christian culture and resulted in the Lindisfarne Gospels amongst other treasures. The Tyne valley was dotted with monasteries, with those at Monkwearmouth, Hexham and Jarrow being the most famous. Bede, who was based at Jarrow, wrote of a royal estate, known as Ad Murum, 'at the Wall', 12 miles (19 km) from the sea. It is thought that this estate may have been in what is now Newcastle. At some unknown time, the site of Newcastle came to be known as Monkchester. The reason for this title is unknown, as we are unaware of any specific monasteries at the site, and Bede made no reference to it. In 875 Halfdan Ragnarsson, the Danish Viking conqueror of York, led an army that attacked and pillaged various monasteries in the area, and it is thought that Monkchester was also pillaged at this time. Little more was heard of it until the coming of the Normans.
Norman period
After the arrival of William the Conqueror in England in 1066, the whole of England was quickly subjected to Norman rule. However, in Northumbria there was great resistance to the Normans, and in 1069 the newly appointed Norman Earl of Northumbria, Robert de Comines and 700 of his men were killed by the local population at Durham. The Northumbrians then marched on York, but William was able to suppress the uprising. That same year, a second uprising occurred when a Danish fleet landed in the Humber. The Northumbrians again attacked York and destroyed the garrison there. William was again able to suppress the uprising, but this time he took revenge. He laid waste to the whole of the Midlands and the land from York to the Tees. In 1080, William Walcher, the Norman bishop of Durham and his followers were brutally murdered at Gateshead. This time Odo, bishop of Bayeux, William's half brother, devastated the land between the Tees and the Tweed. This was known as the 'Harrying of the North'. This devastation is reflected in the Domesday Book. The destruction had such an effect that the North remained poor and backward at least until Tudor times and perhaps until the Industrial Revolution. Newcastle suffered in this respect with the rest of the North.
In 1080 William sent his eldest son, Robert Curthose, north to defend the kingdom against the Scots. After his campaign, he moved to Monkchester and began the building of a 'New Castle'. This was of the "motte-and-bailey" type of construction, a wooden tower on top of an earthen mound (motte), surrounded by a moat and wooden stockade (bailey). It was this castle that gave Newcastle its name. In 1095 the Earl of Northumbria, Robert de Mowbray, rose up against the king, William Rufus, and Rufus sent an army north to recapture the castle. From then on the castle became crown property and was an important base from which the king could control the northern barons. The Northumbrian earldom was abolished and a Sheriff of Northumberland was appointed to administer the region. In 1091 the parish church of St Nicholas was consecrated on the site of the present Anglican cathedral, close by the bailey of the new castle. The church is believed to have been a wooden building on stone footings.
Not a trace of the tower or mound of the motte and bailey castle remains now. Henry II replaced it with a rectangular stone keep, which was built between 1172 and 1177 at a cost of £1,444. A stone bailey, in the form of a triangle, replaced the previous wooden one. The great outer gateway to the castle, called 'the Black Gate', was built later, between 1247 and 1250, in the reign of Henry III. There were at that time no town walls and when attacked by the Scots, the townspeople had to crowd into the bailey for safety. It is probable that the new castle acted as a magnet for local merchants because of the safety it provided. This in turn would help to expand trade in the town. At this time wool, skins and lead were being exported, whilst alum, pepper and ginger were being imported from France and Flanders.
Middle Ages
Throughout the Middle Ages, Newcastle was England's northern fortress, the centre for assembled armies. The Border war against Scotland lasted intermittently for several centuries – possibly the longest border war ever waged. During the civil war between Stephen and Matilda, David 1st of Scotland and his son were granted Cumbria and Northumberland respectively, so that for a period from 1139 to 1157, Newcastle was effectively in Scottish hands. It is believed that during this period, King David may have built the church of St Andrew and the Benedictine nunnery in Newcastle. However, King Stephen's successor, Henry II was strong enough to take back the Earldom of Northumbria from Malcolm IV.
The Scots king William the Lion was imprisoned in Newcastle, in 1174, after being captured at the Battle of Alnwick. Edward I brought the Stone of Scone and William Wallace south through the town and Newcastle was successfully defended against the Scots three times during the 14th century.
Around 1200, stone-faced, clay-filled jetties were starting to project into the river, an indication that trade was increasing in Newcastle. As the Roman roads continued to deteriorate, sea travel was gaining in importance. By 1275 Newcastle was the sixth largest wool exporting port in England. The principal exports at this time were wool, timber, coal, millstones, dairy produce, fish, salt and hides. Much of the developing trade was with the Baltic countries and Germany. Most of the Newcastle merchants were situated near the river, below the Castle. The earliest known charter was dated 1175 in the reign of Henry II, giving the townspeople some control over their town. In 1216 King John granted Newcastle a mayor[8] and also allowed the formation of guilds (known as Mysteries). These were cartels formed within different trades, which restricted trade to guild members. There were initially twelve guilds. Coal was being exported from Newcastle by 1250, and by 1350 the burgesses received a royal licence to export coal. This licence to export coal was jealously guarded by the Newcastle burgesses, and they tried to prevent any one else on the Tyne from exporting coal except through Newcastle. The burgesses similarly tried to prevent fish from being sold anywhere else on the Tyne except Newcastle. This led to conflicts with Gateshead and South Shields.
In 1265, the town was granted permission to impose a 'Wall Tax' or Murage, to pay for the construction of a fortified wall to enclose the town and protect it from Scottish invaders. The town walls were not completed until early in the 14th century. They were two miles (3 km) long, 9 feet (2.7 m) thick and 25 feet (7.6 m) high. They had six main gates, as well as some smaller gates, and had 17 towers. The land within the walls was divided almost equally by the Lort Burn, which flowed southwards and joined the Tyne to the east of the Castle. The town began to expand north of the Castle and west of the Lort Burn with various markets being set up within the walls.
In 1400 Henry IV granted a new charter, creating a County corporate which separated the town, but not the Castle, from the county of Northumberland and recognised it as a "county of itself" with a right to have a sheriff of its own. The burgesses were now allowed to choose six aldermen who, with the mayor would be justices of the peace. The mayor and sheriff were allowed to hold borough courts in the Guildhall.
Religious houses
During the Middle Ages a number of religious houses were established within the walls: the first of these was the Benedictine nunnery of St Bartholomew founded in 1086 near the present-day Nun Street. Both David I of Scotland and Henry I of England were benefactors of the religious house. Nothing of the nunnery remains now.
The friary of Blackfriars, Newcastle (Dominican) was established in 1239. These were also known as the Preaching Friars or Shod Friars, because they wore sandals, as opposed to other orders. The friary was situated in the present-day Friars Street. In 1280 the order was granted royal permission to make a postern in the town walls to communicate with their gardens outside the walls. On 19 June 1334, Edward Balliol, claimant to be King of Scotland, did homage to King Edward III, on behalf of the kingdom of Scotland, in the church of the friary. Much of the original buildings of the friary still exist, mainly because, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries the friary of Blackfriars was rented out by the corporation to nine of the local trade guilds.
The friary of Whitefriars (Carmelite) was established in 1262. The order was originally housed on the Wall Knoll in Pandon, but in 1307 it took over the buildings of another order, which went out of existence, the Friars of the Sac. The land, which had originally been given by Robert the Bruce, was situated in the present-day Hanover Square, behind the Central station. Nothing of the friary remains now.
The friary of Austinfriars (Augustinian) was established in 1290. The friary was on the site where the Holy Jesus Hospital was built in 1682. The friary was traditionally the lodging place of English kings whenever they visited or passed through Newcastle. In 1503 Princess Margaret, eldest daughter of Henry VII of England, stayed two days at the friary on her way to join her new husband James IV of Scotland.
The friary of Greyfriars (Franciscans) was established in 1274. The friary was in the present-day area between Pilgrim Street, Grey Street, Market Street and High Chare. Nothing of the original buildings remains.
The friary of the Order of the Holy Trinity, also known as the Trinitarians, was established in 1360. The order devoted a third of its income to buying back captives of the Saracens, during the Crusades. Their house was on the Wall Knoll, in Pandon, to the east of the city, but within the walls. Wall Knoll had previously been occupied by the White Friars until they moved to new premises in 1307.
All of the above religious houses were closed in about 1540, when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries.
An important street running through Newcastle at the time was Pilgrim Street, running northwards inside the walls and leading to the Pilgrim Gate on the north wall. The street still exists today as arguably Newcastle's main shopping street.
Tudor period
The Scottish border wars continued for much of the 16th century, so that during that time, Newcastle was often threatened with invasion by the Scots, but also remained important as a border stronghold against them.
During the Reformation begun by Henry VIII in 1536, the five Newcastle friaries and the single nunnery were dissolved and the land was sold to the Corporation and to rich merchants. At this time there were fewer than 60 inmates of the religious houses in Newcastle. The convent of Blackfriars was leased to nine craft guilds to be used as their headquarters. This probably explains why it is the only one of the religious houses whose building survives to the present day. The priories at Tynemouth and Durham were also dissolved, thus ending the long-running rivalry between Newcastle and the church for control of trade on the Tyne. A little later, the property of the nunnery of St Bartholomew and of Grey Friars were bought by Robert Anderson, who had the buildings demolished to build his grand Newe House (also known as Anderson Place).
With the gradual decline of the Scottish border wars the town walls were allowed to decline as well as the castle. By 1547, about 10,000 people were living in Newcastle. At the beginning of the 16th century exports of wool from Newcastle were more than twice the value of exports of coal, but during the century coal exports continued to increase.
Under Edward VI, John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, sponsored an act allowing Newcastle to annexe Gateshead as its suburb. The main reason for this was to allow the Newcastle Hostmen, who controlled the export of Tyne coal, to get their hands on the Gateshead coal mines, previously controlled by the Bishop of Durham. However, when Mary I came to power, Dudley met his downfall and the decision was reversed. The Reformation allowed private access to coal mines previously owned by Tynemouth and Durham priories and as a result coal exports increase dramatically, from 15,000 tons in 1500 to 35,000 tons in 1565, and to 400,000 tons in 1625.
The plague visited Newcastle four times during the 16th century, in 1579 when 2,000 people died, in 1589 when 1700 died, in 1595 and finally in 1597.
In 1600 Elizabeth I granted Newcastle a charter for an exclusive body of electors, the right to elect the mayor and burgesses. The charter also gave the Hostmen exclusive rights to load coal at any point on the Tyne. The Hostmen developed as an exclusive group within the Merchant Adventurers who had been incorporated by a charter in 1547.
Stuart period
In 1636 there was a serious outbreak of bubonic plague in Newcastle. There had been several previous outbreaks of the disease over the years, but this was the most serious. It is thought to have arrived from the Netherlands via ships that were trading between the Tyne and that country. It first appeared in the lower part of the town near the docks but gradually spread to all parts of the town. As the disease gained hold the authorities took measures to control it by boarding up any properties that contained infected persons, meaning that whole families were locked up together with the infected family members. Other infected persons were put in huts outside the town walls and left to die. Plague pits were dug next to the town's four churches and outside the town walls to receive the bodies in mass burials. Over the course of the outbreak 5,631 deaths were recorded out of an estimated population of 12,000, a death rate of 47%.
In 1637 Charles I tried to raise money by doubling the 'voluntary' tax on coal in return for allowing the Newcastle Hostmen to regulate production and fix prices. This caused outrage amongst the London importers and the East Anglian shippers. Both groups decided to boycott Tyne coal and as a result forced Charles to reverse his decision in 1638.
In 1640 during the Second Bishops' War, the Scots successfully invaded Newcastle. The occupying army demanded £850 per day from the Corporation to billet the Scottish troops. Trade from the Tyne ground to a halt during the occupation. The Scots left in 1641 after receiving a Parliamentary pardon and a £4,000,000 loan from the town.
In 1642 the English Civil War began. King Charles realised the value of the Tyne coal trade and therefore garrisoned Newcastle. A Royalist was appointed as governor. At that time, Newcastle and King's Lynn were the only important seaports to support the crown. In 1644 Parliament blockaded the Tyne to prevent the king from receiving revenue from the Tyne coal trade. Coal exports fell from 450,000 to 3,000 tons and London suffered a hard winter without fuel. Parliament encouraged the coal trade from the Wear to try to replace that lost from Newcastle but that was not enough to make up for the lost Tyneside tonnage.
In 1644 the Scots crossed the border. Newcastle strengthened its defences in preparation. The Scottish army, with 40,000 troops, besieged Newcastle for three months until the garrison of 1,500 surrendered. During the siege, the Scots bombarded the walls with their artillery, situated in Gateshead and Castle Leazes. The Scottish commander threatened to destroy the steeple of St Nicholas's Church by gunfire if the mayor, Sir John Marley, did not surrender the town. The mayor responded by placing Scottish prisoners that they had captured in the steeple, so saving it from destruction. The town walls were finally breached by a combination of artillery and sapping. In gratitude for this defence, Charles gave Newcastle the motto 'Fortiter Defendit Triumphans' to be added to its coat of arms. The Scottish army occupied Northumberland and Durham for two years. The coal taxes had to pay for the Scottish occupation. In 1645 Charles surrendered to the Scots and was imprisoned in Newcastle for nine months. After the Civil War the coal trade on the Tyne soon picked up and exceeded its pre-war levels.
A new Guildhall was completed on the Sandhill next to the river in 1655, replacing an earlier facility damaged by fire in 1639, and became the meeting place of Newcastle Town Council. In 1681 the Hospital of the Holy Jesus was built partly on the site of the Austin Friars. The Guildhall and Holy Jesus Hospital still exist.
Charles II tried to impose a charter on Newcastle to give the king the right to appoint the mayor, sheriff, recorder and town clerk. Charles died before the charter came into effect. In 1685, James II tried to replace Corporation members with named Catholics. However, James' mandate was suspended in 1689 after the Glorious Revolution welcoming William of Orange. In 1689, after the fall of James II, the people of Newcastle tore down his bronze equestrian statue in Sandhill and tossed it into the Tyne. The bronze was later used to make bells for All Saints Church.
In 1689 the Lort Burn was covered over. At this time it was an open sewer. The channel followed by the Lort Burn became the present day Dean Street. At that time, the centre of Newcastle was still the Sandhill area, with many merchants living along the Close or on the Side. The path of the main road through Newcastle ran from the single Tyne bridge, through Sandhill to the Side, a narrow street which climbed steeply on the north-east side of the castle hill until it reached the higher ground alongside St Nicholas' Church. As Newcastle developed, the Side became lined with buildings with projecting upper stories, so that the main street through Newcastle was a narrow, congested, steep thoroughfare.
In 1701 the Keelmen's Hospital was built in the Sandgate area of the city, using funds provided by the keelmen. The building still stands today.
Eighteenth century
In the 18th century, Newcastle was the country's largest print centre after London, Oxford and Cambridge, and the Literary and Philosophical Society of 1793, with its erudite debates and large stock of books in several languages predated the London Library by half a century.
In 1715, during the Jacobite rising in favour of the Old Pretender, an army of Jacobite supporters marched on Newcastle. Many of the Northumbrian gentry joined the rebels. The citizens prepared for its arrival by arresting Jacobite supporters and accepting 700 extra recruits into the local militia. The gates of the city were closed against the rebels. This proved enough to delay an attack until reinforcements arrived forcing the rebel army to move across to the west coast. The rebels finally surrendered at Preston.
In 1745, during a second Jacobite rising in favour of the Young Pretender, a Scottish army crossed the border led by Bonnie Prince Charlie. Once again Newcastle prepared by arresting Jacobite supporters and inducting 800 volunteers into the local militia. The town walls were strengthened, most of the gates were blocked up and some 200 cannon were deployed. 20,000 regulars were billeted on the Town Moor. These preparations were enough to force the rebel army to travel south via the west coast. They were eventually defeated at Culloden in 1746.
Newcastle's actions during the 1715 rising in resisting the rebels and declaring for George I, in contrast to the rest of the region, is the most likely source of the nickname 'Geordie', applied to people from Tyneside, or more accurately Newcastle. Another theory, however, is that the name 'Geordie' came from the inventor of the Geordie lamp, George Stephenson. It was a type of safety lamp used in mining, but was not invented until 1815. Apparently the term 'German Geordie' was in common use during the 18th century.
The city's first hospital, Newcastle Infirmary opened in 1753; it was funded by public subscription. A lying-in hospital was established in Newcastle in 1760. The city's first public hospital for mentally ill patients, Wardens Close Lunatic Hospital was opened in October 1767.
In 1771 a flood swept away much of the bridge at Newcastle. The bridge had been built in 1250 and repaired after a flood in 1339. The bridge supported various houses and three towers and an old chapel. A blue stone was placed in the middle of the bridge to mark the boundary between Newcastle and the Palatinate of Durham. A temporary wooden bridge had to be built, and this remained in use until 1781, when a new stone bridge was completed. The new bridge consisted of nine arches. In 1801, because of the pressure of traffic, the bridge had to be widened.
A permanent military presence was established in the city with the completion of Fenham Barracks in 1806. The facilities at the Castle for holding assizes, which had been condemned for their inconvenience and unhealthiness, were replaced when the Moot Hall opened in August 1812.
Victorian period
Present-day Newcastle owes much of its architecture to the work of the builder Richard Grainger, aided by architects John Dobson, Thomas Oliver, John and Benjamin Green and others. In 1834 Grainger won a competition to produce a new plan for central Newcastle. He put this plan into effect using the above architects as well as architects employed in his own office. Grainger and Oliver had already built Leazes Terrace, Leazes Crescent and Leazes Place between 1829 and 1834. Grainger and Dobson had also built the Royal Arcade at the foot of Pilgrim Street between 1830 and 1832. The most ambitious project covered 12 acres 12 acres (49,000 m2) in central Newcastle, on the site of Newe House (also called Anderson Place). Grainger built three new thoroughfares, Grey Street, Grainger Street and Clayton Street with many connecting streets, as well as the Central Exchange and the Grainger Market. John Wardle and George Walker, working in Grainger's office, designed Clayton Street, Grainger Street and most of Grey Street. Dobson designed the Grainger Market and much of the east side of Grey Street. John and Benjamin Green designed the Theatre Royal at the top of Grey Street, where Grainger placed the column of Grey's Monument as a focus for the whole scheme. Grey Street is considered to be one of the finest streets in the country, with its elegant curve. Unfortunately most of old Eldon Square was demolished in the 1960s in the name of progress. The Royal Arcade met a similar fate.
In 1849 a new bridge was built across the river at Newcastle. This was the High Level Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson, and slightly up river from the existing bridge. The bridge was designed to carry road and rail traffic across the Tyne Gorge on two decks with rail traffic on the upper deck and road traffic on the lower. The new bridge meant that traffic could pass through Newcastle without having to negotiate the steep, narrow Side, as had been necessary for centuries. The bridge was opened by Queen Victoria, who one year later opened the new Central Station, designed by John Dobson. Trains were now able to cross the river, directly into the centre of Newcastle and carry on up to Scotland. The Army Riding School was also completed in 1849.
In 1854 a large fire started on the Gateshead quayside and an explosion caused it to spread across the river to the Newcastle quayside. A huge conflagration amongst the narrow alleys, or 'chares', destroyed the homes of 800 families as well as many business premises. The narrow alleys that had been destroyed were replaced by streets containing blocks of modern offices.
In 1863 the Town Hall in St Nicholas Square replaced the Guildhall as the meeting place of Newcastle Town Council.
In 1876 the low level bridge was replaced by a new bridge known as the Swing Bridge, so called because the bridge was able to swing horizontally on a central axis and allow ships to pass on either side. This meant that for the first time sizeable ships could pass up-river beyond Newcastle. The bridge was built and paid for by William Armstrong, a local arms manufacturer, who needed to have warships access his Elswick arms factory to fit armaments to them. The Swing Bridge's rotating mechanism is adapted from the cannon mounts developed in Armstrong's arms works. In 1882 the Elswick works began to build ships as well as to arm them. The Barrack Road drill hall was completed in 1890.
Industrialisation
In the 19th century, shipbuilding and heavy engineering were central to the city's prosperity; and the city was a powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution. Newcastle's development as a major city owed most to its central role in the production and export of coal. The phrase "taking coals to Newcastle" was first recorded in 1538; it proverbially denotes bringing a particular commodity to a place that has more than enough of it already.
Innovation in Newcastle and surrounding areas included the following:
George Stephenson developed a miner's safety lamp at the same time that Humphry Davy developed a rival design. The lamp made possible the opening up of ever deeper mines to provide the coal that powered the industrial revolution.
George and his son Robert Stephenson were hugely influential figures in the development of the early railways. George developed Blücher, a locomotive working at Killingworth colliery in 1814, whilst Robert was instrumental in the design of Rocket, a revolutionary design that was the forerunner of modern locomotives. Both men were involved in planning and building railway lines, all over this country and abroad.
Joseph Swan demonstrated a working electric light bulb about a year before Thomas Edison did the same in the USA. This led to a dispute as to who had actually invented the light bulb. Eventually the two rivals agreed to form a mutual company between them, the Edison and Swan Electric Light Company, known as Ediswan.
Charles Algernon Parsons invented the steam turbine, for marine use and for power generation. He used Turbinia, a small, turbine-powered ship, to demonstrate the speed that a steam turbine could generate. Turbinia literally ran rings around the British Fleet at a review at Spithead in 1897.
William Armstrong invented a hydraulic crane that was installed in dockyards up and down the country. He then began to design light, accurate field guns for the British army. These were a vast improvement on the existing guns that were then in use.
The following major industries developed in Newcastle or its surrounding area:
Glassmaking
A small glass industry existed in Newcastle from the mid-15th century. In 1615 restrictions were put on the use of wood for manufacturing glass. It was found that glass could be manufactured using the local coal, and so a glassmaking industry grew up on Tyneside. Huguenot glassmakers came over from France as refugees from persecution and set up glasshouses in the Skinnerburn area of Newcastle. Eventually, glass production moved to the Ouseburn area of Newcastle. In 1684 the Dagnia family, Sephardic Jewish emigrants from Altare, arrived in Newcastle from Stourbridge and established glasshouses along the Close, to manufacture high quality flint glass. The glass manufacturers used sand ballast from the boats arriving in the river as the main raw material. The glassware was then exported in collier brigs. The period from 1730 to 1785 was the highpoint of Newcastle glass manufacture, when the local glassmakers produced the 'Newcastle Light Baluster'. The glassmaking industry still exists in the west end of the city with local Artist and Glassmaker Jane Charles carrying on over four hundred years of hot glass blowing in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Locomotive manufacture
In 1823 George Stephenson and his son Robert established the world's first locomotive factory near Forth Street in Newcastle. Here they built locomotives for the Stockton and Darlington Railway and the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, as well as many others. It was here that the famous locomotive Rocket was designed and manufactured in preparation for the Rainhill Trials. Apart from building locomotives for the British market, the Newcastle works also produced locomotives for Europe and America. The Forth Street works continued to build locomotives until 1960.
Shipbuilding
In 1296 a wooden, 135 ft (41 m) long galley was constructed at the mouth of the Lort Burn in Newcastle, as part of a twenty-ship order from the king. The ship cost £205, and is the earliest record of shipbuilding in Newcastle. However the rise of the Tyne as a shipbuilding area was due to the need for collier brigs for the coal export trade. These wooden sailing ships were usually built locally, establishing local expertise in building ships. As ships changed from wood to steel, and from sail to steam, the local shipbuilding industry changed to build the new ships. Although shipbuilding was carried out up and down both sides of the river, the two main areas for building ships in Newcastle were Elswick, to the west, and Walker, to the east. By 1800 Tyneside was the third largest producer of ships in Britain. Unfortunately, after the Second World War, lack of modernisation and competition from abroad gradually caused the local industry to decline and die.
Armaments
In 1847 William Armstrong established a huge factory in Elswick, west of Newcastle. This was initially used to produce hydraulic cranes but subsequently began also to produce guns for both the army and the navy. After the Swing Bridge was built in 1876 allowing ships to pass up river, warships could have their armaments fitted alongside the Elswick works. Armstrong's company took over its industrial rival, Joseph Whitworth of Manchester in 1897.
Steam turbines
Charles Algernon Parsons invented the steam turbine and, in 1889, founded his own company C. A. Parsons and Company in Heaton, Newcastle to make steam turbines. Shortly after this, he realised that steam turbines could be used to propel ships and, in 1897, he founded a second company, Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company in Wallsend. It is there that he designed and manufactured Turbinia. Parsons turbines were initially used in warships but soon came to be used in merchant and passenger vessels, including the liner Mauretania which held the blue riband for the Atlantic crossing until 1929. Parsons' company in Heaton began to make turbo-generators for power stations and supplied power stations all over the world. The Heaton works, reduced in size, remains as part of the Siemens AG industrial giant.
Pottery
In 1762 the Maling pottery was founded in Sunderland by French Huguenots, but transferred to Newcastle in 1817. A factory was built in the Ouseburn area of the city. The factory was rebuilt twice, finally occupying a 14-acre (57,000 m2) site that was claimed to be the biggest pottery in the world and which had its own railway station. The pottery pioneered use of machines in making potteries as opposed to hand production. In the 1890s the company went up-market and employed in-house designers. The period up to the Second World War was the most profitable with a constant stream of new designs being introduced. However, after the war, production gradually declined and the company closed in 1963.
Expansion of the city
Newcastle was one of the boroughs reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835: the reformed municipal borough included the parishes of Byker, Elswick, Heaton, Jesmond, Newcastle All Saints, Newcastle St Andrew, Newcastle St John, Newcastle St Nicholas, and Westgate. The urban districts of Benwell and Fenham and Walker were added in 1904. In 1935, Newcastle gained Kenton and parts of the parishes of West Brunton, East Denton, Fawdon, Longbenton. The most recent expansion in Newcastle's boundaries took place under the Local Government Act 1972 on 1 April 1974, when Newcastle became a metropolitan borough, also including the urban districts of Gosforth and Newburn, and the parishes of Brunswick, Dinnington, Hazlerigg, North Gosforth and Woolsington from the Castle Ward Rural District, and the village of Westerhope.
Meanwhile Northumberland County Council was formed under the Local Government Act 1888 and benefited from a dedicated meeting place when County Hall was completed in the Castle Garth area of Newcastle in 1910. Following the Local Government Act 1972 County Hall relocated to Morpeth in April 1981.
Twentieth century
In 1925 work began on a new high-level road bridge to span the Tyne Gorge between Newcastle and Gateshead. The capacity of the existing High-Level Bridge and Swing Bridge were being strained to the limit, and an additional bridge had been discussed for a long time. The contract was awarded to the Dorman Long Company and the bridge was finally opened by King George V in 1928. The road deck was 84 feet (26 m) above the river and was supported by a 531 feet (162 m) steel arch. The new Tyne Bridge quickly became a symbol for Newcastle and Tyneside, and remains so today.
During the Second World War, Newcastle was largely spared the horrors inflicted upon other British cities bombed during the Blitz. Although the armaments factories and shipyards along the River Tyne were targeted by the Luftwaffe, they largely escaped unscathed. Manors goods yard and railway terminal, to the east of the city centre, and the suburbs of Jesmond and Heaton suffered bombing during 1941. There were 141 deaths and 587 injuries, a relatively small figure compared to the casualties in other industrial centres of Britain.
In 1963 the city gained its own university, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, by act of parliament. A School of Medicine and Surgery had been established in Newcastle in 1834. This eventually developed into a college of medicine attached to Durham University. A college of physical science was also founded and became Armstrong College in 1904. In 1934 the two colleges merged to become King's College, Durham. This remained as part of Durham University until the new university was created in 1963. In 1992 the city gained its second university when Newcastle Polytechnic was granted university status as Northumbria University.
Newcastle City Council moved to the new Newcastle Civic Centre in 1968.
As heavy industries declined in the second half of the 20th century, large sections of the city centre were demolished along with many areas of slum housing. The leading political figure in the city during the 1960s was T. Dan Smith who oversaw a massive building programme of highrise housing estates and authorised the demolition of a quarter of the Georgian Grainger Town to make way for Eldon Square Shopping Centre. Smith's control in Newcastle collapsed when it was exposed that he had used public contracts to advantage himself and his business associates and for a time Newcastle became a byword for civic corruption as depicted in the films Get Carter and Stormy Monday and in the television series Our Friends in the North. However, much of the historic Grainger Town area survived and was, for the most part, fully restored in the late 1990s. Northumberland Street, initially the A1, was gradually closed to traffic from the 1970s and completely pedestrianised by 1998.
In 1978 a new rapid transport system, the Metro, was built, linking the Tyneside area. The system opened in August 1980. A new bridge was built to carry the Metro across the river between Gateshead and Newcastle. This was the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, commonly known as the Metro Bridge. Eventually the Metro system was extended to reach Newcastle Airport in 1991, and in 2002 the Metro system was extended to the nearby city of Sunderland.
As the 20th century progressed, trade on the Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides gradually declined, until by the 1980s both sides of the river were looking rather derelict. Shipping company offices had closed along with offices of firms related to shipping. There were also derelict warehouses lining the riverbank. Local government produced a master plan to re-develop the Newcastle quayside and this was begun in the 1990s. New offices, restaurants, bars and residential accommodation were built and the area has changed in the space of a few years into a vibrant area, partially returning the focus of Newcastle to the riverside, where it was in medieval times.
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a foot and cycle bridge, 26 feet (7.9 m) wide and 413 feet (126 m) long, was completed in 2001. The road deck is in the form of a curve and is supported by a steel arch. To allow ships to pass, the whole structure, both arch and road-deck, rotates on huge bearings at either end so that the road deck is lifted. The bridge can be said to open and shut like a human eye. It is an important addition to the re-developed quayside area, providing a vital link between the Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides.
Recent developments
Today the city is a vibrant centre for office and retail employment, but just a short distance away there are impoverished inner-city housing estates, in areas originally built to provide affordable housing for employees of the shipyards and other heavy industries that lined the River Tyne. In the 2010s Newcastle City Council began implementing plans to regenerate these depressed areas, such as those along the Ouseburn Valley.

The Phi Phi Islands (Thai: หมู่เกาะพีพี) are located in Thailand, between the large island of Phuket and the western Andaman Sea coast of the mainland. Phi Phi Don, the larger and principal of the two Phi Phi islands, is located at [show location on an interactive map] 7°44′00″N, 98°46′00″E. Both Phi Phi Don, and Phi Phi Leh, the smaller, are administratively part of Krabi province, most of which is on the mainland, and is located at [show location on an interactive map] 8°02′30″N, 98°48′39″E.
Ko Phi Phi Don ("ko" (Thai: เกาะ) meaning "island" in the Thai language) is the largest island of the group, and is the only island with permanent inhabitants, although the beaches of the second largest island, Ko Phi Phi Lee (or "Ko Phi Phi Leh"), are visited by many people as well. There are no accommodation facilities on this island, but it is just a short boat ride from Ko Phi Phi Don. The rest of the islands in the group, including Bida Nok, Bida Noi, and Bamboo Island, are not much more than large limestone rocks jutting out of the sea.
Phi Phi Don was initially populated by Muslim fishermen during the late 1940s, and later became a coconut plantation. The Thai population of Phi Phi Don remains more than 80% Muslim.But the actual population if counting laborers, especially from the north-east, from the mainland is much more Buddhist these days.
Ko Phi Phi Leh was the backdrop for the 2000 movie The Beach. Phi Phi Leh also houses the 'Viking Cave', from which there is a thriving bird's nest soup industry. There was criticism during filming of 'The Beach' that the permission granted to the film company to physically alter the environment inside Phi Phi Islands National Park was illegal. [1] The controversy cooled down however, when it was discovered that the producers had done such a decent job of restoring the place that it finally looked better than it had done before.
Following the release of The Beach, tourism on Phi Phi Don increased dramatically, and with it the population of the island. Many buildings were constructed without planning permission.[citation needed]
Ko Phi Phi was devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, when nearly all of the island's infrastructure was wiped out. Redevelopment has, however, been swift, and services like electricity, water, Internet access and ATMs are up and running again, but waste handling has been slower to come back online.

We arrived at Innisfree as soon as it opened at 10AM one mid-August morning when the entire Northeastern US was in the middle of a record heatwave. Despite the heat and humidity, we were able to make a quick 1.5 mile circle on the path around the deep glacial lake at the heart of this 150 acre garden before we wilted and had to return to our air conditioned car. The harsh mid-day light made photography challenging, as you can see. We learned that Innisfree, said by some to be one of the world's Ten Great Gardens, opens at sunrise on three occasions each year, and we are already planning another trip to the Hudson River Valley in the future when we hope we can see and photograph this amazing place under better conditions.
"Like the pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China, Innisfree helps us to define what we mean by ‘civilization’. It’s one of the few places in this world that lived up to — nay, exceeded — my expectations."
David Wheeler, Editor, Hortus (2013)
"In the late 1920s, Walter Beck and his wife, avid gardener and heiress Marion Burt Beck, began work on Innisfree, their country residence in Millbrook, New York. Walter Beck’s fascination with Asian art influenced his painting, the collecting he and his wife pursued, and their ideas on garden design. In the 1930s, Beck discovered the work of 8th-century Chinese poet, painter and garden maker Wang Wei. Studying scroll paintings of his famed garden, the Wangchuan Villa, Beck observed that Wang created carefully defined, inwardly focused gardens and garden vignettes within a larger, naturalistic landscape. Wang’s place-making technique — christened “cup gardens,” by Beck — influenced centuries of Chinese and Japanese garden design. It is also the principal design motif in the Innisfree landscape. Like his Chinese predecessor, Beck created three-dimensional pictures in the garden, incorporating both rocks from the site and horticultural advice from his wife. Unlike Wang Wei, or perhaps more familiar figures like Lawrence Johnston, who used his cup-like rooms at Hidcote in England to draw one through a sequence of events and create an overall sense of place, Beck focused more on individual compositions. Relating these to each other and to the landscape as a whole was the genius of Lester Collins."
The genius of this place lies not so much in the ideas which the designers formulated for the cup gardens, many of which are disarmingly simple, but in the way they have been maintained over the years. Essentially, everything is allowed to settle into the prevailing spirit of the place; if it does not, it is removed. It is this sensitivity, care and attention to the qualities of landscape, natural and made, that make Innisfree such a memorable success.

Western gardens are usually designed to embrace a view of the whole. Little is hidden. The garden, like a stage set, is there in its entirety, its overall design revealed in a glance. The traditional Chinese garden is usually designed so that a view of the whole is impossible. [It] requires a stroll over serpentine, seemingly aimless arteries. The observer walks into a series of episodes, like Alice through the looking glass."
Lester Collins, Innisfree: An American Garden (1994)
