James "Jimmy" Stoddart Gifford, first defence, 21 years, 150 pounds; playing senior since 1905. By the time the professional game came along in 1909, Gifford had already earnt the reputation for being one of the hardest and toughest players to take to the field. During the professional era his heated rivalry with ‘Newsy’ Lalonde of the Vancouver Lacrosse Club was legendary, nasty, and relentless. Even in old age Gifford continued to hold a grudge and could not bear being in the presence of Lalonde – even refusing to attend his hall-of-fame induction because Lalonde would also be there receiving the same honour, over 50 years passing since their last bloody battles had been fought.

New Westminster Salmonbellies travelled to Montreal for a challenge match. They beat the Montreal Shamrocks for its first Minto Cup (then given to the top senior team in Canada).
1908 was a pivotal year in the history of the Minto Cup when the New Westminster Salmonbellies defeated the Montréal Shamrocks 12 to 7 in their two-game, total-goals series. The first game of the series was a close 6-5 result before the Salmonbellies responded with a commanding 6-2 win in the rematch to clinch the silverware.

With the benefit of hindsight, the 1908 New Westminster-Montréal series signaled a changing of the guard and is probably the most historically significant event in the cup’s history until the juniors took over control of the mug. It saw the game’s first dynasty coming to an end with a brand-new one at the opposite end of the country ready to take its place. The victory for the Royal City was notable for two other important reasons: the New Westminster Salmonbellies were the last bonafide amateur team to challenge and win the professional trophy as well as the first club from the Pacific Coast to pry the silver mug from the hands of the Easterners.

- the photographer - Frederick Louis Hacking
(b. 2 July 1880 in Ontario, Canada - d. 20 February 1969 at age 88 in Monterey, California, USA)
He started as a photo printer with the Wadds Brothers, then purchased S.J. Thompson's former New Westminster studio and by 1908 was running his own Vancouver studio at 445 Granville St. in the Fairfield Block. His landscape photographs attacted notice at the 1899 New Westminster exhibition.
The Daily News-Advertiser described his Vancouver studio when it opened in the Fairfield Block (Building) in 1908. Hacking, who was the official representative from BC at the Photographers' Association of the Pacific Northwest 1910 conference in Vancouver, was also elected vice-president for BC that year.
He later immigrated to California and registered for the US World War Two draft in 1942.
VANCOUVER STUDIO (FAIRFIELD BUILDING) DESCRIPTION:
This description of F.L. Hacking's new photo studio was published by the (Vancouver) Daily News-Advertiser on 14 Aug 1908, p. 15. The article was illustrated with three photographs depicting the "Reception Room", the "Skylight Room" and "Another View of Reception Room."
"An Artistic Studio.
A member of the "News-Advertiser" staff visited the new photographic studio of Mr. F.L. Hacking in the Fairfield Building, Granville Street, where for weeks past contractors and decorators have been transforming several suites of rooms and offices into what is now recognized as the most complete and artistic studio in the Province.
On entering the reception room, one is immediately impressed by the beautiful and quaint appearance of the apartment, which is furnished in the early English style. Amongst the many special features one's attention is drawn to the beautiful panelled walls, enriched with copper nailing, the unique fire grate and the casement windows and doors, whilst four heavy clusters of drop lights, suspended from the beamed ceilings--all designed and made especially for this studio--give the room a pleasing and uncommon appearance.
The delightful color scheme, from the rich rug on the floor to the delicate harmony of walls and ceilings, tends to show to advantage the specimens of artistic portraiture displayed, and gives visitors that feeling of repose and satisfaction that assures them that their own work could not be entrusted to better hands.
Leading from the reception room through a massive archway are the dressing rooms, each fitted with long pier mirrors and furnished in the same good taste.
The skylight room, one of the most important features of Mr. Hacking's business, has been constructed to give lighting facilities which will enable photographs to be taken at all reasonable times and under all conditions. The room is large and not encumbered with a hetreogeneous [sic] mass of painfully artificial scenery and paraphernalia; instead you see instruments and accessories of the best lenses by Dallmeyer, of London, England, and Goerz, of Berlin; camera by Anthony, of New York, and the necessary backgrounds are a revelation of simplicity and rich value, all painted especially by Packard, of Boston.
Nearly every modern equipment known to photography may be found in this up-to-date studio. The developing and finishing rooms are complete in every detail, giving this studio advantages for promptly executing work, a desideratum of no small importance, and one that will be immediately appreciated.
As a capable photographer, Mr. Hacking needs but little introduction in Vancouver. He was apprenticed when a young man in a leading Eastern studio, where high ideals and careful workmanship were early acquired. Eleven years ago he came to Vancouver and after eight years connected with Wadds Brothers' studio purchased the studio in New Westminster formerly conducted by Mr. S.J. Thompson. His artistic work brought immediate success that has necessitated branching out into the broader fields of opportunity offered in Vancouver.
Not being satisfied with anything but the best location and equipment, he finally secured the present quarters in the Fairfield building, the heart of the best district, which our readers are heartily commended to visit and inspect.
Mr. Hacking aptly says that "the aim and purpose of this studio is to turn out only high grade photographs, and the best that experience, artistic training, perfect equipment and skilled workmanship can produce is offered to its patrons."

Cómo enamorar a una mujer: 10 consejos para lograrlo
10 Consejos de cómo enamorar a una mujer
A muchos hombres se les hace difícil enamorar a una mujer, hablarles, invitarlas a salir y lograr que sean sus novias. Generalmente pasa por el desconocimiento de qué les gusta a las mujeres de un hombre. A continuación les enseñaremos cómo enamorar a una mujer.
#1 Hombre seguro
Despójate de los nervios y trata de estar seguro de ti mismo, demuestra tu carácter, sé un hombre que respeta y que se hace respetar. Tenlo por seguro que ellas preferirán mil veces un hombre con quien sentirse en confianza que tener al frente suyo unos músculos bien definidos.
#2 No mentir nunca
Para una mujer la sinceridad es la cualidad más valiosa que admiran de un hombre. Tampoco debes fingir algo que no eres realmente, muéstrate tal cual. Las mujeres tiene un agudizimo olfato para identificar cuándo un hombre les miente.
#3 Invítala a salir
Toda mujer quedará maravillada si la sorprendes invitándola a salir a un sitio que tú haz escogido, sobre todo si tu tomas el mando de la situación. Llévala a lugares especiales y diferentes así le demostraras con tu esfuerzo lo interesado que estas en ella.
#4 Limpio y bien vestido
Toda mujer se fija hasta en el más mínimo detalle, es importante vestir adecuadamente con una camisa y unos buenos zapatos, además del peinado y la limpieza corporal. Ellas se derriten cuando ven a un chico en camisa.
#5 Hombre de proyectos
Comparte con ella a qué te dedicas y sobre todo qué proyectos tienes para el futuro. Qué aspiraciones tienes tienes en la vida, ello la hará saber que no eres una persona sin metas mi ideales.
#6 No piropos
No caigas en las siempre repetidas frases de amor que se usan comúnmente. No caigas en lo vulgar, si vas a decirle palabras bonitas que salgan corazón, estas deben ser románticas y sutiles. ¡Las tendrás en tus manos!.
#7 Hazla reír
Evita los temas aburridos, hablen de cualquier cosa e identifica qué es lo que le hace reír. Si vez que ella no para de reír, vas por muy buen camino y aunque no lo crees estarás haciendo que ella se enamore de ti.
Cómo enamorar a una mujer: Hazla reír siempre.
#8 Detalles sorpresa
Debes saber que a las mujeres no esperan el regalo más costoso, esperan un detalle hecho por ti mismo en el que hayas invertido tu tiempo y tu cariño en hacerlo. Si es el caso que el presente no es hecho por ti, procura dé en el clavo con lo que a ella le guste, que recuerdes las cosas que le gustan y que dedique tiempo en buscar el adecuado bastará para conquistarla.
#9 Dile lo que sientes
A los hombres por lo general les cuesta decir lo que sienten un “te quiero”, “te amo” o “te extraño”. Dile lo que sientes por ella poco a poco, con tus propias palabras, si te apresuras mucho parecerás desesperado y no queremos eso.
#10 No sexo
Si hay algo que espanta a las mujeres es que en las primeras citas demuestres que quieres tener intimidad con ellas. Pensaran que sólo buscas sexo, las mujeres son muy sensibles respecto a ese tema y opinan que se da en una etapa más avanzada de la relación. ¡Ten mucho cuidado!
Con estos 10 consejos de cómo enamorar a una mujer estas más que preparado para conquistar a cualquier mujer ¡Suerte!

как обшить сайдингом дом sotdel.ru/obshivka-doma-sajdingom.html Советы по строительству дома, #сайдинг #sotdel Обшивка дома сайдингом – ответственный и интересный процесс. С каждой новой панелью облик вашего дома будет быстро меняться. Обшивка дома сайдингом – ответственный и интересный процесс. С каждой новой панелью облик вашего дома будет быстро меняться. Впервые отправляясь в магазин, чтобы выбрать сайдинг для обшивки дома, многие покупатели теряются в выборе. Помимо богатой палитры цветов, их вниманию предлагаются и различные варианты фактур – здесь и «корабельный брус», и «ёлочка», и «блок хаус», и «вертикальный сайдинг». Как выбрать сайдинг? Сайдинг производится из компаунда, основу которого составляет виниловая масса с добавленными в нее пластификаторами, красителями, стабилизаторами цвета и прочими присадками. Рецептура компаунда для внешнего и внутреннего слоя сайдинговой панели различается, поскольку они решают разные задачи. Внешняя сторона панели противостоит выгоранию цвета, шелушению и короблению поверхности, внутренняя отвечает за жесткость материала, устойчивость к перепадам температуры и механическим воздействиям. Две массы компаунда, приготовленные по разным рецептурам, сплавляются методом коэкструзии, таким образом, формируется целостная панель с улучшенными качественными характеристиками внешнего и внутреннего слоя. Если же внутренняя сторона сайдинга светлее наружной – это значит, что производитель в состав компаунда для сайдинга добавил меньше пигмента. Такой сайдинг относится к категории более бюджетных, но при этом может обладать вполне приемлемыми эксплуатационными характеристиками. А вот если панель сайдинга окрашена неравномерно – есть разводы, пятна, отличия в оттенке панелей в рамках одной партии – это однозначно свидетельствует о не самом качественном материале. Чтобы выполнить монтаж блок хауса или других видов сайдинга своими руками, мы рекомендуем внимательно ознакомиться с инструкцией по монтажу, которую вы получите при покупке, а также с видео инструкцией. Следуйте показанным на видео принципам монтажа сайдинга любого вида, включая блок хаус. Если обшиваем сайдингом стены дома или только цоколь или фронтон, то в любом случае придерживаемся основных правил по монтажу этого строительного материала. Существуют различные виды сайдинга, и их монтаж также имеет свои отличия. как обшить сайдингом дом www.sotdel.ru/obshivka-doma-sajdingom.html www.facebook.com/110372909302943/photos/a.228565947483638...

la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes
Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6lak?playlist=x34ije - Rue neuve 1956 la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, villes, villages, grands ensembles réalisation : Jack Pinoteau , Panorama de la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, ce film de commande évoque les villes et villages français détruits puis reconstruits dans un style respectant la tradition : Saint-Malo, Gien, Thionville, Ammerschwihr, etc. ainsi que la reconstruction en rupture avec l'architecture traditionnelle à Châtenay-Malabry, Arles, Saint Étienne, Évreux, Chambéry, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Abbeville, Le Havre, Marseille, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkerque. Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement". S’il est précisé "on peut aimer ou de ne pas aimer ce style", l’emporte au final l’argument suivant : les grands ensembles, c'est la campagne à la ville, un urbanisme plus aéré, plus vert." les films caravelles 1956, Réalisateur : Jack Pinoteau (connu pour être le metteur en scène du film Le Triporteur 1957 qui fit découvrir Darry Cowl) www.dailymotion.com/video/xuz3o8?playlist=x34ije , Film d'archive actualités de 1952 Reconstruction de la France sept ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale état des lieux de la crise du logement , Actualités de 1952.

The Willows at Willow Grove Day Camp is a camp for 3 and 4 year old children. This unique camp experience offers your child an early opportunity to learn and socialize with children their own age.
During the first week of camp, lots of fun was had as the children and counselors got to know each other. “Sun and Surf” was our first week theme. The children really enjoyed decorating their bucket and shovel memo pads during Arts and Crafts. Along with this activity, the Polar Bears and Penguins enthusiastically participated in Nature, Gymnastics, Dance, Tennis and Soccer. We are looking forward to the next seven weeks of fun-filled activities.
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

MAAM = Museo dell’Altro e dell’Altrove di Metropoliz_città meticcia.
Da streetartattack.blogspot.it/2013/10/district-913-roma.html:
Nato nel 2012, al termine del cantiere cinematografico e d’arte “Space Metropoliz”, il MAAM è un progetto di Giorgio de Finis. Contro-dipositivo situazionista e relazionale, si pone accanto e in concorrenza con le grandi istituzioni museali italiane e della capitale (il MAXXI e il MACRO), facendo della sua perifericità, della sua totale assenza di fondi, della sua non asetticità (il MAAM è un museo abitato) il suo punto di forza. Avviando un nuovo virtuoso rapporto tra arte e città e tra arte e vita, il Metropoliz si sta dotando, grazie al MAAM, di una pelle preziosa e di una collezione che l’aiuteranno a proteggersi dalla minaccia sempre incombente dello sgombero coatto. Il MAAM si prefigge di trasformare l’intera fabbrica occupata in un oggetto e in un soggetto d’arte collettiva. Gli artisti sono invitati a dare il loro contributo gratuitamente, interagendo con lo spazio e con gli abitanti. E non si può dire che non lo stiano facendo.
Oltre i “relitti” di Space Metropoliz (il telescopio di Gian Maria Tosatti, i muri dipinti di Sten & Lex, Lucamaleonte, Mr. Klevra, Hogre, la bandiera di Paolo Assenza, l’orto lunare di Fabio Pennacchia, il grande razzo costruito dagli abitanti della fabbrica occupata con l’aiuto di Stalker), la Pinacoteca Domestica Diffusa, oltre venti opere di arte contemporanea collocate nelle case degli abitanti di Metropoliz e fotografata da Carlo Gianferro, la “Stanza dei Giochi” (intervento site specific per la ludoteca di Metropoliz ad opera di Veronica Montanino e Alice Pasquini), la “Cattedralehouse_room#2” (opere di Cristiano Petrucci, Gianni Asdrubali, Veronica Montanino), il 5 ottobre il MAAM presenterà le nuove acquisizioni e i lavori realizzati nel corso dell’estate.
Le due nuove stanze d’artista, “Windows M” di Maddalena Mauri e ”Where are the flowers gone” di Micaela Lattanzio. L’intervento murario, tutto in polvere di grafite, che Maddalena Mauri realizza per il nuovo spazio galleria di Metropoliz, moltiplica le finestre della grande stanza dove un tempo stagionavano i salami della Fiorucci, invitando il mondo ad entrare. Un auspicio, per la fabbrica occupata, che coincide con il programma di eventi settimanali del nuovo spazio espositivo, uno dei dispositivi che il MAAM ha deciso di attivare per aprire con regolarità il cancello del 913 al quartiere e alla città, riducendo l’effetto enclave che pregiudizio e necessità di difendersi dallo sgombero rischiano di innescare. La porta “a saloon” della galleria che propone un enorme cuore diviso in due è un’opera di Paolo Angelosanto. La stanza di Micaela Lattanzio è invece uno spazio intimo, un invito alla “meditazione”, un’oasi di pace per chi, come il Chaplin di “Tempi moderni”, si trova incastrato ogni giorno nei meccanismi della metropoli (i suoi fiori di carta, oltre seimila, si liberano dagli ingranaggi e volano via…). Un luogo, questa preziosa stanza “fiorita”, che sembra condividere lo spirito delle stanze de Les Nymphéas di Monet all’Orangerie.
“District 913” tira via il telo anche sulla nuova “piazza” realizzata da Massimo Di Giovanni con L.U.N.A. una enorme sfera di ferro e legno che l’artista incastra tra le travi di un tetto crollato, che lo stesso Di Giovanni ha restaurato e messo in sicurezza). L’opera ha voluto rendere un omaggio all’idea della migrazione esoplanetaria alla conquista della luna narrata dalla favola contemporanea “Space Metropoliz” e all’idea che, lavorando tutti insieme, l’Altrove lo si possa alla fine portare sulla Terra. Altre grandi sfere saranno disseminate nella fabbrica da EPVS, a rendere il percorso difficile e claustrofobico (EPVS_ Bubbling 4 you #913# by EPVS).
Molto rilevanti anche i nuovi interventi di street art realizzati a Metropoliz. Dal grande muro d’ingresso sulla via Prenstina, firmato Borondo, e realizzato in collaborazione con la 999 Contemporary, alla meridiana di Rub Kendy (.R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.), allo stencil di Lucamaleonte che riproduce, sulla facciata dell’ex-salumificio che guarda ai recenti scavi archeologici del lotto di fronte, il bassorilievo dei Musei Capitolini raffigurante la caccia al cinghiale. E ancora Alice Pasquini, Solo (con “Plan D, last level”), Diamond (con la porta “Welcome to Metropoliz”), Opiemme (“Questo muro ha un nuovo messaggio”). E ancora Giulio Vesprini, Gio Pistone, Cancelletto, omino71.
Tra le nuove opere acquisite dal MAAM segnaliamo quelle di Pablo Echaurren (“Suburbano disumano”), a cura di ARIA [rivista d’artista], Massimo Attardi (“Lang”, un omaggio all’autore di “Metropolis” che strizza l’occhio anche al gioco “facce di luna” di “Space Metropoliz”), Guendalina Salini (che ripropone in collezione permanente l’installazione “Dove comincia il lontano”), gli interventi murari di Marco Tamburro, Seboo Migone, Paolo Assenza, l’opera di Germano Serafini ”Composizione M”, quella di Michela de Mattei “Metropolitz. Pianoterra / piano, Terra” (a cura di Silvia Litardi), il lightbox di Salvatore Mauro “Pianeta dei Naufraghi”, i nuovi interventi di Santino Drago (”Sangue versato in mostra” e “Asilo politico”).

"La publicación del catálogo de Ávila se contrató por Real Orden de 19 de febrero de 1902 al taller de Artes Gráficas de los hermanos José María y Francisco Mateu, “casa o Taller Mateu” de Madrid, para cumplir el artículo 14 del Real Decreto de 14 de febrero de ese mismo año en el que se disponía la publicación del catálogo de cada provincia conforme se fueran informando positivamente por la comisión Mixta. Después de un largo proceso de desavenencias con el Ministerio de Instrucción Pública y Bellas Artes, sólo imprimieron tres fascículos por lo que por Real Orden de 20 de noviembre de 1913, publicada el 3 de diciembre, se rescindió definitivamente el contrato a los hermanos Mateu. El 12 de mayo de 1915 hay una nueva propuesta para su publicación, que tampoco tuvo éxito. Los originales se conservan completos."

Deep Space - Hubble Photo

FROM NASA:
Called the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photo was assembled by combining 10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a patch of sky at the center of the original Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The XDF is a small fraction of the angular diameter of the full moon.
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is an image of a small area of space in the constellation Fornax, created using Hubble Space Telescope data from 2003 and 2004. By collecting faint light over many hours of observation, it revealed thousands of galaxies, both nearby and very distant, making it the deepest image of the universe ever taken at that time.
The new full-color XDF image is even more sensitive, and contains about 5,500 galaxies even within its smaller field of view. The faintest galaxies are one ten-billionth the brightness of what the human eye can see.
This video zooms into the small areas of sky that the Hubble Space Telescope was aimed at to construct the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF. The region is located in the southern sky, far away from the glare of the Milky Way, the bright plane of our galaxy. In terms of angular size, the field is a fraction the angular diameter of the full moon, yet it contains thousands of galaxies stretching back across time. (Credit: NASA; ESA; and G. Bacon and Z. Levay, STScI)

Magnificent spiral galaxies similar in shape to our Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy appear in this image, as do the large, fuzzy red galaxies where the formation of new stars has ceased. These red galaxies are the remnants of dramatic collisions between galaxies and are in their declining years. Peppered across the field are tiny, faint, more distant galaxies that were like the seedlings from which today's magnificent galaxies grew. The history of galaxies -- from soon after the first galaxies were born to the great galaxies of today, like our Milky Way -- is laid out in this one remarkable image.
Hubble pointed at a tiny patch of southern sky in repeat visits (made over the past decade) for a total of 50 days, with a total exposure time of 2 million seconds. More than 2,000 images of the same field were taken with Hubble's two premier cameras: the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3, which extends Hubble's vision into near-infrared light.

This illustration compares the angular size of the XDF field to the angular size of the full moon. A finger held at arm's length would appear to be about twice the width of the moon in this image. Note that this illustration does not show the actual observation of the XDF relative to the location of the moon. (Illustration Credit: NASA; ESA; and Z. Levay, STScI; Moon Image Credit: T.

"The XDF is the deepest image of the sky ever obtained and reveals the faintest and most distant galaxies ever seen. XDF allows us to explore further back in time than ever before", said Garth Illingworth of the University of California at Santa Cruz, principal investigator of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2009 (HUDF09) program.

The universe is 13.7 billion years old, and the XDF reveals galaxies that span back 13.2 billion years in time. Most of the galaxies in the XDF are seen when they were young, small, and growing, often violently as they collided and merged together. The early universe was a time of dramatic birth for galaxies containing brilliant blue stars extraordinarily brighter than our sun. The light from those past events is just arriving at Earth now, and so the XDF is a "time tunnel into the distant past." The youngest galaxy found in the XDF existed just 450 million years after the universe's birth in the big bang.
Before Hubble was launched in 1990, astronomers could barely see normal galaxies to 7 billion light-years away, about halfway across the universe. Observations with telescopes on the ground were not able to establish how galaxies formed and evolved in the early universe.
Hubble gave astronomers their first view of the actual forms and shapes of galaxies when they were young. This provided compelling, direct visual evidence that the universe is truly changing as it ages. Like watching individual frames of a motion picture, the Hubble deep surveys reveal the emergence of structure in the infant universe and the subsequent dynamic stages of galaxy evolution.
The infrared vision of NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope will be aimed at the XDF. The Webb telescope will find even fainter galaxies that existed when the universe was just a few hundred million years old. Because of the expansion of the universe, light from the distant past is stretched into longer, infrared wavelengths. The Webb telescope's infrared vision is ideally suited to push the XDF even deeper, into a time when the first stars and galaxies formed and filled the early "dark ages" of the universe with light.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Md., conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., in Washington.
Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge
stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...
Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.
At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).
The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.
Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].
Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.
Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.
The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.
The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.
The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.
The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.
Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.
The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

Southern Pacific Railway Post Office #12, Travel Town, Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California
This narrowgauge truck set, cast in Sacramento, CA by Southern Pacific, is one of two designs of 're-gauge-able' trucks on display inside the Travel Town Museum building. The wheels can be detatched from the replaceable axle by four bolts within the inside face, and a new beam can be cut from wood for the bolster support and kingpin. The sliding bearings on the end of each axle predated roller or ball bearings, and could generate a great deal of heat from friction. Hopefully the grease packed under the hinged covers was warm enough to liquify and penetrate the bearing gap. One of the primary reasons a caboose had bay windows or a coupula above, and it's placement at the end of the train, was to keep a vigilant watch for the "hotbox" - an improperly lubricated bearing would cause excessive wear, or start a fire!
Notice that there are no springs in this design, any spring action is from the steel and wood supports.
The axles and crossblocks on this Southern Pacific Railway Post Office #12 bogie truck are fabricated of wood a design to facilitate re-gauging this 3' narrow-gauge truck to standard gauge 4'8½". The trucks are unsprung, which is to say the design does not incorporate springs, and there is a very narrow bolster around the kingpin. So, in addition to feeling every gap in the uneven and wavy rail, swaying and rocking was magnified at speeds above 12 miles per hour - working to precisely sort mail along the route was a very uncomfortable occupation.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY POST OFFICE #12
BUILT: c.1880 BY CARTER BROTHERS
WEIGHT: 13 TONS
LENGTH: 43'
DONATED: 1960 BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
This pre-20th Century, wooden car was put to a variety of uses by its owners: caboose, baggage car, railway postal car, and most notably, a baggage-mail combination. Mail transportation by rail had existed as long as the railroads themselves. In Britain, mail was already being sorted within rail cars in the late 1830's. This practice was imitated on a few American railroads, but came into widespread use only after the Civil War. Perhaps no more efficient mail system could have existed than that of the railway postal system. Both local and long-distance trains included a car equipped with pigeonholes, sorting bags and tables, cancellation stamps, and one or more frenzied clerks trying to sort a bag of mail picked up at one station, before arriving at the next station each would be only ten or twenty minutes down the road. Early in their history, these railway postal cars (RPO's) shared space with express baggage service. Later, as the system grew more elaborate, entire 60- or 80-foot RPO cars were specially built for that purpose, and resembled small versions of a post office.
As with other aspects of railroading, RPO cars and their clerks have a lore all their own. The metal arms which swung out from the side of the car to catch a hanging mail bag when the train was not scheduled to stop at a station are collectors items, as are any existing cancellation stamps. Clerks carried guns for protection against outlaws wanting to steal the mail. In the first decades, clerks worked on cars furnished either with fire-causing wood stoves or without any heat at all. Doors could not be left open for security reasons, so the cars were barely ventilated in the summer heat. If they
had toilet facilities at all, they were crude and rarely private. Sometimes a lone clerk, sometimes a handful of men tripping over and stepping on each other, slaved at sorting and canceling mail, catching a new bag every twenty minutes, and simultaneously kicking off a bag sorted for that stop.
By the 1960's, railway mail, like railway passenger service and some railway freight service, was failing in favor of air transport of mail. The last RPO ran between Washington D. C. and New York in June 30, 1977.

We have just finished our third week of camp. The Willows campers have been kept very busy these past three weeks. The days have been flying by way too quickly. It was very exciting to have all our Willows family members join us for an outstanding visiting day. The children were extremely excited to share their activities with their parents, while the parents had fun pretending to be campers. We hope you had as much fun as we did and lunch together was terrific.
The children enjoyed this weeks theme of “I Spy”. They had fun decorating binoculars in Camper Creations. In Ceramics, each child enjoyed making their favorite food out of clay with the help of their parents. Their ceramic projects will be sent home shortly. To end our wonderful week, The Willows campers joined the rest of camp at Waterworld. The children drove
water boats and joined in other great water activities. A terrific time was had by all!
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

Persecución Religiosa: Interrogatorio en clase
Era un día soleado, y en el aula resonó la voz alta de la docente china. Boqian y sus compañeros de clase escuchaban a la maestra con atención. De repente, se abrió la puerta y entró el subdirector de la sección educativa. Le susurró algo al maestro chino, luego el profesor chino dejó de dar una conferencia y se hizo a un lado. El subdirector tomó el puntero, golpeó dos veces en la pizarra y luego preguntó con voz severa: "¡Todos! ¿Hay algún creyente de Dios en tu familia"? Los estudiantes negaron con la cabeza y respondieron: "No". Boqian, que se estaba sentado en el medio de la tercera fila, comentó ligeramente, que sus padres eran creyentes en Dios. Recordó que su madre una vez le había dicho, "China es un estado autoritario sin libertad religiosa. El PCCh no permite que las personas adoren al Dios verdadero, sino que se resisten fanáticamente a Él y a Su obra. Los creyentes en China corren el peligro de ser arrestados en cualquier momento o lugar y sufrir la cruel persecución del PCCh". Boqian sabía que nunca les diría a los maestros que él y sus padres creían en Dios, de lo contrario las consecuencias serían inimaginables.
El subdirector parecía insatisfecho con las respuestas de los estudiantes, y luego sacó del bolsillo un reproductor MP5 negro, lo levantó y les dijo a los estudiantes: "¿Quién ha visto alguna vez a un jugador así? ¿De quién es la familia que tiene ese jugador"? Muchos estudiantes se miraron el uno al otro y no sabían qué tenía que ver el reproductor del MP5 con la investigación de si había algún creyente en sus familias. Pero Boqian sabía claramente en su corazón que los hermanos y hermanas de la iglesia, incluyendo a sus padres, solían usar este tipo de reproductor para leer la palabra de Dios, escuchar himnos y ver películas del evangelio, pero no se atrevió a decir una palabra. Temió que le daría algo a la maestra. Luego, el subdirector miró a cada estudiante y dijo con dureza: "Quien sea que hable es un buen estudiante y será citado. Si descubro que alguien sabía algo y no lo dice, será disciplinado y nunca podrá graduarse sin problemas". Después de escuchar eso, Boqian se sintió nervioso nuevamente. Una vez más, pensó en las palabras de su madre: "El gobierno del PCCh está lleno de astutos trucos. Instalan cámaras en las calles para monitorear a los creyentes; además, van de puerta en puerta realizando inspecciones para buscar a los creyentes a fin de verificar las tarjetas de residencia, y también utilizan unidades de trabajo y escuelas para investigar si hay algún creyente en la familia de alguien. Una vez que encuentran a un creyente de Dios, lo arrestarán y perseguirán, y sus incrédulos miembros de la familia se verán implicados y perderán sus trabajos, y sus hijos perderán las oportunidades de seguir estudiando. El gobierno del PCCh realiza investigaciones tan fanáticamente solo por el deseo delirante de capturar a todos los cristianos y establecer un país sin Dios en China". Boqian sabía que la razón por la que el líder de la escuela actuó de esa manera ese día fue porque ellos eran dirigidos por el PCCh. Para encontrar a los creyentes de Dios, obligaron a los estudiantes a hablar sobre si había creyentes en sus familias a través de engaños y amenazas. El PCCh fue de hecho demasiado insidioso y malvado. Pensando en eso, Boqian se dio cuenta de que el truco de Satanás se escondía detrás de este acontecimiento. Si él era tímido y temeroso, los maestros verían los agujeros, lo que pondría en peligro a su familia y a los hermanos y hermanas. Decidió que, en cualquier caso, no vendería a sus hermanos y hermanas, y mucho menos traicionaría a Dios, y que oraría a Dios y confiaría en Él para vencer la tentación repentina de Satanás.

Expo in the City est le premier magazine gratuit dédié aux expositions parisiennes ; l’occasion nous a été donnée de poser quelques questions à Fleur Baudon, directrice de la publication et Arnaud Chedal-Anglay, fondateur et rédacteur en chef du magazine.
Bonjour à tous les deux, racontez-nous l’idée de départ, sa concrétisation et parlez-nous de l’équipe !
L’idée de départ : rendre un peu « sexy » les expos, dépoussiérer tout ça. Créer un magazine urbain, sympathique, résolument moderne, qui donne envie de sortir pour aller voir une expo avec ses amis, son amour, ses parents ou ses enfants.
Un magazine convivial, qui se partage, tout comme ses bons plans.
Un magazine pratique qui tient dans la poche.
Un magazine gratuit, pour une vraie promotion de l’Art à Paris, sans clivage.
Pour la première fois, un classement des expos en ligne avec les envies et les attentes des parisiens. Pas d’expo ‘’beaux arts’’ ou ‘’ sciences et techniques’’, mais les expos à faire le soir après le boulot, les expos gratuites, celles à faire en amoureux ou en famille. Les expos pour frimer le lundi matin au bureau, ou pour occuper les beaux parents qui débarquent !
Expo in the City souhaite faire de chaque sortie expo un vrai bon moment, sympa et inoubliable. Pour cela, nous avons créé les premiers « duos expos », de bonnes petites adresses parisiennes avec les meilleures expositions. Cela permet de prolonger le plaisir de la sortie avec un petit brunch, un resto, un apéro, ou un jardin caché, une boutique insolite…
La concrétisation de cette idée a mis 2 ans, 2 ans pendant lesquels nous avons fait et refait des maquettes de magazines, en interrogeant des parisiens pour vraiment comprendre leurs attentes et leurs envies, et leur offrir le meilleur des expos, dans une version colorée et joyeuse.
L’équipe : Fleur et Arnaud, aidés par nos proches, amis, et familles. Nous avons créé une association qui a pour but de promouvoir l’Art à Paris, de manière accessible et sympa. Nous sommes des indépendants, loin des grands groupes de presse. Des idéalistes ? Des ‘’fous’’ peut-être ? Des passionnés évidemment !
En octobre de cette année, vous avez rassemblé des fonds sur le site de financement participatif KissKissBankBank, comment cela s’est-il passé ?
La démarche nous a permis de récolter 5 000 euros ! Cela nous a permis de nous lancer, en finançant l’impression du premier numéro, et une partie du site web. C’était fou de voir comme ce projet a pu mobiliser des soutiens, nous appuyant dans cette démarche audacieuse.
Présentez-nous la ligne éditoriale de Expo in the City, le positionnement du mag.
Expo in the City est un magazine bimestriel, format poche extrêmement qualitatif, 100 pages en couleur, distribué gratuitement à 20 000 exemplaires dans le cœur de Paris, aux métros, entrées des cinémas, théâtres et musées.
Le ‘’petit livre’’ des expos toujours sur soi !
Nous souhaitons toucher tous les gens passionnés par l’art, mais pas seulement ! L’idée est vraiment d’ouvrir l’art à tous, en faisant re-découvrir les expos de Paris et la richesse culturelle de la capitale, par un classement inédit des expos, pour que chacun puisse trouver l’expo qui lui ressemble, ou l’expo qui convient à chaque occasion.
Nous avons voulu créer le 1er magazine qui ne se jette pas, avec sa sélection d’expos, ses bons plans, ses actus, son format poche ultra-pratique. Nous avons créé un magazine pour chacun et pour tous.
Où peut-on trouver le magazine aujourd’hui ? Peut-on s’abonner ?
Tous les 2 mois, Expo in the City est distribué pendant 2 semaines dans le centre de Paris et en région Parisienne. Aux stations de Métro, dans les files de musées, de cinés, de théâtre, en 20 000 exemplaires. Expo in the City est aussi accessible sur le web www.expointhecity.com/, avec des actus inédites et complémentaires, et des avis d’internautes. Pour ceux qui souhaitent recevoir leur magazine chez eux, nous proposons une formule d’abonnement à 24 euros par an (magazine gratuit + frais de gestion et d’envois), offrant en plus un pass pour Pompidou.
Vous êtes également présent sur le web, pourquoi éditer un magazine papier et un site web ?
Pour nous les deux supports sont complémentaires. L’un se consulte en se feuilletant, dans le métro, dans son salon, dans un café, il se lit. Nous étions très attachés au support papier car nous aimons personnellement lire, et garder nos livres et guides pour les reconsulter à l’envi.
Le site internet est un support complémentaire qui nous permet de suivre l’actualité à la semaine, voire chaque jour. Nous donnons la parole à nos internautes pour nous donner leur avis sur les expos et aider les autres internautes à faire leur choix d’expos. Internet est très vivant, évolue chaque jour. Le magazine est une valeur sûre qui se garde sur soi.
Des projets de développement ? L’envie de décliner le magazine dans une autre ville ?
Nous avons plein d’idées de développement !
Notre premier souhait est de faire grandir Expo in the City, en restant libres et indépendants, ce qui est assez difficile car nos moyens ne sont pas ceux des grands groupes. Nous souhaitons étendre les services que nous proposons à nos lecteurs, toujours dans un esprit de convivialité, par exemple en créant une carte Club permettant d’inviter gratuitement une personne avec soi dans les musées, en organisant des soirées vernissages, des discussions sur des sujets d’expos... Tout en restant sur Paris, peut-être étendrons nous le magazine à la rentrée, a une version sur l’Art en général (musique, théâtre, cinéma, écriture…).
Merci et longue vie à Expo in the City !

The Willows at Willow Grove Day Camp is a camp for 3 and 4 year old children. This unique camp experience offers your child an early opportunity to learn and socialize with children their own age.
During the first week of camp, lots of fun was had as the children and counselors got to know each other. “Sun and Surf” was our first week theme. The children really enjoyed decorating their bucket and shovel memo pads during Arts and Crafts. Along with this activity, the Polar Bears and Penguins enthusiastically participated in Nature, Gymnastics, Dance, Tennis and Soccer. We are looking forward to the next seven weeks of fun-filled activities.
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas. For more information on the Willows and Willow Grove Day Camp please visit: willowgrovedaycamp.com/willows.html
1. detsember - Marsa Alam
The indigenous tribes of Wadi Al-Gemal and its surroundings. The Beja Tribe is one of the Red Sea mountains' main ethnicity as it reaches from southern Egypt into eastern Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea. It can be divided into four main tribes: Bisharin, Ababda, Hadendoa and Beni Amer. Only the first two inhabit Egyptian territories, mainly in the southern parts of the eastern desert. Ababda are the original dwellers of Wadi Al-Gemal, while Bisharins are inhabitants of the Jabel Elba region located in the southeastern most corner of Egypt. While both are nomadic pastorals, Ababda have abandoned their original tradition of livestock herding due to extended drought conditions that have forced them to live in areas closer to commercial urban centres. This in return has exposed them to a wider range of income generating alternatives. Though both tribes originally speak different dialects of an oral language called "To Bedawie" or Rotana as is commonly known, Ababda have deserted their mother tongue for Arabic.
Though Bisharins, inhabitants of the Jabal Elba region, also live in a drought prone area, their territory is actually part of Egypt's biggest national park -- Mountain Elba National Park -- in addition to being a politically disputed area between Egypt and Sudan. Both the remoteness of the area and the difficulties associated with reaching and entering it have both helped the Bisharins to maintain their pastoral nomadism and preserve their original culture and traditional way of living.

The last few days have been a flurry of activity with building on the river and wet lands. But, in between I have gone to a bunch of new places and back to some of my favorite venues.
Xavier & I love to salsa. So we did a search and wham, we found >Latin Palace Dance Club. Couples were dancing in dressy attire to wonderful salsa music. Wearing a tuxedo without a shirt and me in a short cocktail dress, it so reminded Xavier & me of Miami clubs.
A stopover at Organica to catch the last hour of DJ Qee's set woke us up with a nice psy jolt! So good to hear Qee's dynamic sounds and see old friends.
A brand new club called Fear FM sent me a tp. I got to meet owner/builder Cypher Webb. Beautifully built by Cypher, he was also spinning an awesome set of hardstyle and goth rock. I had a blast there. Cypher is also recruiting DJ's so peeps, give him a shout!
It was so late on Thursday night (Fri morn?) that I just had to stop off and say hi to DJ Xavi at The Cave. Owner Tasty Hax was there, too. I run into her at every party!
Friday afternoon, I got a tp from one of the builders. I ended up at Blackhearts 80's club. I love the funkiness of this club. So simple. It feels like a rock n roll club. Halloween was coming and the Pillsbury Dough Boy showed up! LOL!
Late night, and Xavier & I headed for DJ Nebulae's set at Piranha. Xavi loves this club. He set his JMD Effects hud on and we were in psy heaven. We always have fun at Shad's club!
In between all the craziness, I hit New Berlin's Electro Smog. Gee... I can't seem to get enough of this place. Zap Hax was hosting and DJ djleftydc Denja was spinning a sweet set of tunes.
Another new place I landed upon was Le Ghetto Hype. This is a fun club of alternative and eclectic tunes. Owner DJ Frederick Neberle & partner ARNAUD Mureaux have built a wonderful place to hang.
Off to Divaz Lounge! DJ 8wall Wrigglesworth just sent me a tp! OMG, 8wall is spinning at Divaz.
I met 8wall at Dance Island last year and then over at Nutrie. He spins a very chill set of house and minimal tunes.
But, the highlight of my night was at Old Factory listening to DJ Jeangilles Anthony. This frenchman is an artist. Beautiful industrial noise layered with a hardstyle beat... then transcending into experimental music... psychedelic experimental noise. LOL! and I fell asleep there... just couldn't leave!
Late night on Friday, Xavier and I ended up at DJ Digital Francis' Le Pardis de Digital Nation. It was an after party and Digi was spinning. Xavi & Digi started a "stump me" game. I think Digital was very impressed with Xavier's musical knowledge. They bro-downed the entire night leaving me and DJ Snowkitty dumbfounded... 'cause neither of us knew any of the tunes. LOL! I think Xavier has a new favorite dj now!

Delegate Ken Plum describes a visit to Sunrise Valley Park as a "mini vacation":
The Sunrise Valley Wetlands Natural Area is within the ¼ mile circle around the future Herndon-Monroe Metro Station slated for high density development (Reston, Virginia). This beautiful wetlands is a federally mandated mitigation site developed to offset previous destruction of natural areas in Reston. There exists, within its relatively small 15.75-acre area, multiple ecosystems of open water, marsh and upland forest that attract a wide range of wildlife, including birds, turtles, frogs, dragonflies, butterflies and small and large mammals. The site is used regularly by Reston Association naturalists for public outreach and education programs.
Excerpt from the FAIRFAX COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, 2007 Edition
POLICY PLAN -- ENVIRONMENT
Amended through 2-25-2008:
...BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GOALS
Fairfax County has adopted two goals, “Environmental Protection” and “Open Space” that relate to conservation of the natural environment. These Goals read as follows:
Environmental Protection - The amount and distribution of population density and land uses in Fairfax County should be consistent with environmental constraints inherent in the need to preserve natural resources and to meet or exceed federal, state and local standards for water quality, ambient air quality and other environmental standards. Development in Fairfax County should be sensitive to the natural setting, in order to prevent degradation of the County’s natural environment.
Open Space - Fairfax County should support the conservation of appropriate land areas in a natural state to preserve, protect and enhance stream valleys, meadows, woodlands, wetlands, farmland, and plant and animal life. Small areas of open space should also be preserved in already congested and developed areas for passive neighborhood uses, visual relief, scenic value, and screening and buffering purposes.
In addition, three other goals, “Quality of Life,” “Land Use” and “Transportation,” cite the need to protect the environment. The Fairfax County Goals reflect the belief of the community that environmental protection and preservation are overarching components of the quality of life. The Goals demonstrate an understanding of the interdependence of decisions regarding private development, transportation, and public works with the environment. Decisions made about the scale, location, and type of human activity on the landscape affect, and are affected by the natural environment....

AREA RESIDENTS SEEK PROTECTION FOR A SANCTUARY
Proximity of Reston’s only wetlands to future Metro stop raises concerns about marsh’s fate.
By Mike DiCicco | Thursday, April 08, 2010
Carol Hadlock spent 4 1/2 years monitoring wildlife at Sunrise Valley Nature Park, during which she documented 122 species of birds, 33 of which nested there. "Right there, that says to me this is a very special place," she told the group of about two-dozen Reston leaders and nature enthusiasts who took a tour of the park on Wednesday, March 31. As more of the surrounding area has been developed, some of the larger species have moved on, but about 22 species still nest there, which is remarkable for such a small property, she said.
The park comprises naturally occurring wetlands, manmade wetlands, a restored farm pond and uplands buffers. The manmade portion of the marsh, which was created under a mandate from the Army Corps of Engineers to offset damage to wetlands elsewhere in Reston, makes up about 3.3 of the park’s nearly 16 acres.

The Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), also called by a wide variety of other names, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.
The name chaffinch comes from Old English ceaffinc, literally "chaff finch", and is the source of the nickname chaffy or chaffie. This bird is widespread and very familiar throughout Europe. It is the most common finch in western Europe, and the second most common bird in the British Isles. Its range extends into western Asia, northwestern Africa, and Macaronesia, where it has many distinctive island forms. In the Canary Islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, the Common Chaffinch has colonised twice, giving rise to the endemic species known as the Blue Chaffinch and a distinctive subspecies. In each of the Azores, in Madeira, and in the rest of the Canaries there is a single species on each island. (wikipedia)
The background here was formed by the autumn leaves of the trees. This is a male bird. WIth thanks to Colin for allowing us access to this fabulous garden.
Η αληθινή ιστορία πίσω από το έργο στην Εποχή της Λύτρωσης
Ολόκληρο το σχέδιο της διαχείρισής Μου, ένα σχέδιο που εκτείνεται σε διάστημα έξι χιλιάδων ετών, αποτελείται από τρία στάδια ή τρεις εποχές: στην αρχή η Εποχή του Νόμου, η Εποχή της Χάριτος (που είναι επίσης και η Εποχή της Λύτρωσης) και τις έσχατες ημέρες η Εποχή της Βασιλείας. Το έργο Μου στις τρεις αυτές εποχές διαφέρει σε περιεχόμενο σύμφωνα με την φύση της κάθε εποχής, αλλά σε κάθε στάδιο είναι σε συμφωνία με τις ανάγκες του ανθρώπου – ή, για να είμαστε πιο ακριβείς, γίνεται σύμφωνα με τα κόλπα που ο Σατανάς εφαρμόζει στον πόλεμο που διεξάγω εναντίον του. Ο σκοπός του έργου Μου είναι να νικήσω τον Σατανά, να εκδηλώσω την σοφία Μου και την παντοδυναμία Μου, να αποκαλύψω όλα τα κόλπα του Σατανά και μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο να σώσω ολόκληρο το ανθρώπινο γένος το οποίο ζει υπό τη σφαίρα επιρροής του. Είναι για να δείξω τη σοφία Μου και την παντοδυναμία Μου ενώ ταυτόχρονα ν’ αποκαλύψω την αβάσταχτη αποκρουστικότητα του Σατανά. Ακόμη περισσότερο είναι για να διδάξω στα πλάσματά Μου να διακρίνουν μεταξύ του καλού και του κακού, να γνωρίζουν ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κυβερνήτης όλων των πραγμάτων, να δουν ξεκάθαρα ότι ο Σατανάς είναι εχθρός της ανθρωπότητας, ο πιο χαμηλός των χαμηλών, ο σατανικός, και να διακρίνουν με απόλυτη βεβαιότητα τη διαφορά μεταξύ καλού και κακού, αλήθειας και ψεύδους, αγιότητας και βρομιάς και τι είναι σημαντικό και τι ποταπό. Μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο, η αδαής ανθρωπότητα θα μπορεί να γίνει μάρτυρας για Μένα, ότι δεν είμαι εγώ που διαφθείρω την ανθρωπότητα και μόνο εγώ – ο Κύριος της δημιουργίας – μπορώ να σώσω την ανθρωπότητα, μπορώ να δώσω στον άνθρωπο πράγματα για την απόλαυσή του. Και θα γνωρίσει ότι Εγώ είμαι ο Κυβερνήτης όλων των πραγμάτων και ο Σατανάς είναι απλώς ένα από τα όντα που δημιούργησα και αργότερα στράφηκε εναντίον Μου. Το σχέδιο διαχείρισης Μου των έξι χιλιάδων ετών χωρίζεται σε τρία στάδια για να επιτευχθεί το παρακάτω αποτέλεσμα: να μπορέσουν οι δημιουργίες Μου να γίνουν μάρτυρές Μου, να κατανοήσουν το θέλημά Μου και να γνωρίζουν ότι εγώ είμαι η αλήθεια. Έτσι, κατά τη διάρκεια της αρχικής φάσης του έργου στο σχέδιο διαχείρισής Μου των έξι χιλιάδων ετών, έκανα το έργο του νόμου που ήταν το έργο στο οποίο ο Ιεχωβά οδήγησε τους ανθρώπους Του. Το δεύτερο στάδιο ξεκίνησε το έργο της Εποχής της Χάριτος στα χωριά της Ιουδαίας. Ο Ιησούς αντιπροσωπεύει όλο το έργο της Εποχής της Χάριτος. Ενσαρκώθηκε και σταυρώθηκε στον σταυρό κι επίσης εγκαινίασε την Εποχή της Χάριτος. Σταυρώθηκε για να ολοκληρώσει το έργο της λύτρωσης, να τελειώσει την Εποχή του Νόμου και να ξεκινήσει την Εποχή της Χάριτος κι έτσι ονομάστηκε ο «Υπέρτατος Αρχηγός», η «Προσφορά για την αμαρτία», ο «Λυτρωτής». Έτσι, το έργο του Ιησού διέφερε σε περιεχόμενο από το έργο του Ιεχωβά, παρόλο που ήταν τα ίδια στις αρχές τους. Ο Ιεχωβά ξεκίνησε την Εποχή του Νόμου, εδραίωσε τη βάση του οίκου, δηλαδή το σημείο της αρχής του έργου Του στην γη και εξέδωσε τις εντολές. Αυτά ήταν δύο από τα κατορθώματά Του, τα οποία αντιπροσωπεύουν την Εποχή του Νόμου. Το έργο που έκανε ο Ιησούς την Εποχή της Χάριτος δεν ήταν για να εκδώσει εντολές αλλά για να εκπληρώσει τις εντολές και μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο να οδηγήσει στην Εποχή της Χάριτος και να καταλήξει με την Εποχή του Νόμου που είχε διαρκέσει δύο χιλιάδες χρόνια. Ήταν ο πρωτοπόρος που ήρθε για να ξεκινήσει την Εποχή της Χάριτος, ωστόσο το κύριο μέρος του έργου Του ήταν για τη λύτρωση. Οπότε τα κατορθώματά Του ήταν επίσης διπλά: ξεκίνησε μια νέα εποχή και ολοκλήρωσε το έργο της λύτρωσης μέσω της σταύρωσής Του. Στη συνέχεια αναχώρησε. Στο σημείο αυτό, η Εποχή του Νόμου έφτασε στο τέλος της και η ανθρωπότητα εισήλθε στην Εποχή της Χάριτος.

La Guadalupita,un templo que respira vida
Escrito por Mauricio Carmona R.
Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
La Guadalupita, un templo que respira vida
La mancha urbana ocultó el templo, pero no el ánimo de los fieles.
El testimonio de los sacerdotes hace que la feligresía tenga “hambre de Dios”.
Mauricio Carmona R.
Entre las calles de la Colonia San Rafael, plagada de teatros y centros nocturnos, subsiste la iglesia de la “Guadalupita”, como lo llaman los vecinos. Y a pesar de que pareciera una zona cerrada a la Palabra de Dios, los sacerdotes y la comunidad han hecho ver lo contrario.
El templo
Image
Narra la historia que donde hoy se levanta el Palacio de Bellas Artes, vivió la familia Aguilar Reyes, católicos nobles y buenos, cuya vivienda desapareció luego de un terrible incendio. La madre había quedado atrapada en el interior de la casa, por lo que se encomendó a una imagen de la Guadalupana que se hallaba en la recámara; a cambio de salir con vida de esa catástrofe, le prometió a la Virgen un oratorio.
La Reina de los Cielos escuchó las súplicas, pues pronto un vecino tendió una escalera y otros más le ayudaron a descender hasta quedar a salvo. El fuego consumió todo, excepto el cuadro milagroso de la Santísima Virgen de Guadalupe.
Pasados algunos meses, la familia se dio a la tarea de construir una capilla a la Morenita en una propiedad de la naciente Colonia San Rafael. Viendo la devoción que los vecinos tenían a la imagen, pidieron permiso a la Sagrada Mitra para celebrar Misa todos los domingos en el pequeño recinto.
El Arzobispo de México, entonces Mons. Luis María Martínez, viendo la cantidad de fieles que acudían, decretó que la capilla fuera elevada a rango de parroquia, delegando el cuidado pastoral a los sacerdotes Misioneros Oblatos de María Inmaculada. Con grandes esfuerzos, el amplio y hermoso templo fue concluido y dedicado el 12 de octubre de 1954, con el nombre de “Iglesia de la Guadalupita”, convirtiéndose además en la casa madre de la orden.
La comunidad
A pesar del gran tamaño del templo, tanto en profundidad como en altura, la mancha urbana no cedió terreno y dejó casi invisible el recinto. Ni los enormes puentes del Circuito Interior ni los numerosos teatros y locales de la zona dejan ver con facilidad la iglesia.
Pese a ello, la comunidad no cede ante cualquier dificultad, y en verdad que las tiene. Las distintas calles que rodean el templo se han visto plagadas por centros nocturnos y pequeños “antros”, que han hecho de aquellos parajes una zona roja; incluso, parecía retador el hecho de que justo a las puertas de la parroquia se encontrara uno de estos bares. La comunión y solidaridad de los vecinos de la Guadalupita no se hizo esperar para resolver la situación y, después de largos acuerdos, se logró el cierre del establecimiento. El P. Ricardo Junius, párroco del lugar, nos comenta la satisfacción que siente por encontrarse en medio de una comunidad actuante.
“Pienso que somos una comunidad muy unida y con ganas de compartir nuestra fe”, explicó el sacerdote de origen estadounidense. “Estamos ansiosos de propagar con más devoción el Evangelio, sobre todo con los vecinos que llegan a los nuevos departamentos que han construido”. Y es que en los últimos años, la zona ha quedado repleta de condominios, generando con ello, más dificultades para transmitir el mensaje de Cristo.
La Pastoral
La iglesia de la Guadalupita ha quedado oculta por la mancha urbana, pero no ha sucedido lo mismo con el espíritu de trabajo de los fieles, el cual deja entrever el esfuerzo que han hecho los padres Oblatos en la actividad pastoral que se destaca.
“Muchas personas se han mudado a otras partes de la ciudad y algo que nos entusiasma es ver sus rostros cada domingo en Misa o en nuestros grupos parroquiales. Vienen desde lejos a su parroquia”, confesó el P. Ricardo.
El trabajo que han realizado los sacerdotes ha hecho eco en la comunidad. “Nos llena mucho ver a los padres trabajar desde muy temprano y hasta avanzada hora la noche”, comentó la señora Felicita, quien además explicó que “los sacerdotes nos han hecho sentir hambre de Dios y de Su Palabra ¿Y cómo no sentirlo al ver el testimonio y ejemplo de nuestros padres?”
Por ello, y a solicitud de la comunidad, iniciará un Curso de Evangelización a partir del 5 de febrero, fiesta de san Felipe de Jesús. “Será un curso muy completo donde se descubrirá a Cristo, paz y alegría permanente, y que logrará nuestro objetivo principal que es ser representantes vivos del Evangelio”.
Entre los proyectos de esta comunidad, cabe destacar también la creación de nuevos grupos parroquiales como son los ministros extraordinarios, equipo litúrgico, renovación carismática y un foro de debates sobre temas fuertes de interés para la Iglesia Católica”.
Finalmente, los fieles, como don Ramiro, no pierden la esperanza de que este hermoso templo pueda llegar a ser una basílica menor, puesto que el número de asistentes es grande y “tal vez a nuestra Madre le gustaría que esta casita suya también se considerara santuario de oración”
Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge
stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...
Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.
At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).
The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.
Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].
Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.
Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.
The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.
The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.
The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.
The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.
Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.
The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

Why even MILD Covid is now being linked to long-term heart trouble: Millions of us have had the infection - and recovered in days. Now worrying research suggests there could be a nasty sting in the tail
Two weeks after falling ill with Covid TV doctor Xand van Tulleken thought he was on the mend, when he suddenly took a turn for the worse.
‘I woke at 3am with my heart rate rushing at 170 beats per minute [it should have been about 60] and in a chaotic rhythm. I felt bad: faint, sweaty, breathless, panicky,’ he says.
This was March 2020, at the start of the pandemic, when little was known about the typical course of the infection.
But Xand’s training as a public health doctor left him in little doubt that he had developed atrial fibrillation, a dangerous heart rhythm disorder where abnormal electrical impulses cause an irregular and often racing heartbeat. It can lead to stroke and, in extreme cases, heart failure.
‘I believed that my heart-rhythm problem arose most likely as a result of the virus inflaming my heart,’ he says. Realising the seriousness of the situation he raced by taxi to University College Hospital in London.
‘The emergency doctors shocked my heart to stop it temporarily, allowing it to restart in a normal rhythm, a process called cardioversion,’ he adds.
With his heart beating more normally, Xand was prescribed bisoprolol, a type of beta-blocker — medication that alters the heart’s response to nerve impulses, slowing its rate to reduce the risk of further heart-rhythm problems. But it didn’t.
‘My heart went into atrial fibrillation several times after that, meaning I had to go through the cardioversion process repeatedly,’ he says.
A year after his original infection, in 2021 Xand had to return to hospital for an ablation, a procedure that uses freezing liquid nitrogen to ‘burn’ heart tissue, creating scarring that disrupts the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats.
‘Surgery took about 90 minutes and I was awake throughout,’ he recalls. ‘It wasn’t painful but it definitely wasn’t enjoyable. When it got to the bit where they froze the heart tissue with liquid nitrogen in a balloon threaded through my artery, I was gripped by a sense of impending doom.’
Xand now feels recovered, mercifully. But millions of fellow Britons have been left facing similarly dangerous and debilitating heart problems in the wake of Covid.
Some 23 million Covid infections have been recorded in the UK, although it’s estimated that many more cases have gone unrecorded because those affected weren’t tested.
Two million people in the UK are living with long Covid, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed in June. It classified long Covid as experiencing symptoms more than four weeks after a coronavirus infection.
Fatigue is the most common, followed by shortness of breath, loss of sense of smell and difficulty concentrating, according to the ONS, but more worryingly there are also significant reports of long-term heart-related problems.
In March, the potential scale of such problems was revealed by a paper in the BMJ. The study of more than 47,000 people who’d been hospitalised with Covid-19 showed that they were about three times more likely than uninfected people to face major cardiovascular problems within eight months of being taken to hospital.
It’s not only people who were hospitalised who have been affected. A study in March of 150,000 Americans found serious heart complications can occur in people who seem to have recovered from a mild infection. The report in the journal Nature Medicine, led by Dr Ziyad Al-Aly, an epidemiologist at Washington University, St Louis, in the U.S., found that people who’d had Covid faced substantially increased risks for 20 conditions, including heart attacks and strokes, in the following 12 months.
In patients who’d been admitted to intensive care the risk of conditions, such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart that reduces its pumping ability) and blood clots in the lungs, was at least 20 times higher than in uninfected people. But even those who had not been hospitalised had increased risks of many conditions, ranging from an 8 per cent increase in heart attacks to a 247 per cent increase in myocarditis.
Scientists have long known that respiratory infections such as flu can trigger heart disease. This is because they cause inflammation, which plays a major role in cardiovascular illnesses.
However, a Covid infection seems to cause a much higher incidence of problems, and following much milder levels of initial illness.
‘It is not only surprising but also profoundly consequential that the risk is evident even in those [who had mild infections],’ says Dr Al-Aly. ‘That’s what makes this likely a serious public health problem.’
But why? One possibility is that the virus’s spike protein — which it uses to invade human cells — can cause an outbreak of localised inflammation in heart tissue that is so intense that it damages the muscle. Dr Zhiqiang Lin, an assistant professor of cardiology at the Masonic Medical Research Institute in New York, exposed human heart tissue in the lab to spike proteins from Covid-19 and HCoV-NL63, a coronavirus that infects the respiratory system without harming hearts.
He found Covid-19 sparks an immune response in heart cells whereas the other coronavirus did not. He believes that causes excessive inflammation which damages heart cells and causes myocarditis.
But Covid may also harm cardiovascular health in another way, according to a study by Houston Methodist Academic Medical Centre, Texas, published in August. This found that patients with long Covid heart symptoms may have double the normal risk of having unhealthy endothelial cells, which line the inside of the heart and blood vessels.
Endothelial cells play a key role in dilating the arteries and helping to get blood to the heart when we do physically strenuous activities. Patients with unhealthy endothelial cells, a condition known as microvascular dysfunction, are at higher risk of heart failure and death.
Dr Mouaz Al-Mallah, a cardiologist who co-authored the paper, explains in the journal JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging: ‘When a patient exercises they need more blood delivered to the heart to be able to provide blood to the entire body ... But in some patients with Covid, we noted it’s not increasing to the degree it should be.’
Dr Al-Mallah’s team scanned the hearts of nearly 400 patients with long Covid. The scans showed they were twice as likely to have unhealthy endothelial cells inside the heart and blood vessels. ‘This may potentially explain why some patients are having chest pain and shortness of breath because their heart is not getting that extra blood,’ Dr Al-Mallah wrote.
Not everyone is convinced that the dangers are widespread, however. In a small study of 52 people, Professor Gerry McCann, a cardiac-imaging specialist at the University of Leicester, found that people who had recovered after being hospitalised with Covid-19 had no greater rate of heart disease than people who had similar underlying cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure, but who had remained uninfected by the virus.
He is working on a larger study with around 1,200 participants. ‘The more data we’re acquiring, the less impressed we are with the degree of myocardial injury,’ he told Good Health.
‘There is no doubt Covid is associated with heart problems in hospitalised patients, although it is relatively uncommon. Those who are hospitalised tend to have other risk factors such as older age, obesity and pre-existing cardiovascular disease.’
He adds: ‘There are mixed reports on the extent of heart problems from researchers using imaging techniques. Some of the abnormal findings are of uncertain clinical significance and we are not sure how much of the changes are related to pre-existing conditions.’
Other British researchers disagree that the extent of cardiovascular dangers are exaggerated.
Colin Berry, a professor of cardiology and imaging at the University of Glasgow, said: ‘Professor McCann’s study has serious limitations because it only studied 52 patients. I would concentrate on much larger studies that have greater statistical power such as the American ones, which do show widescale problems.’
Professor’s Berry’s own study, published in Nature Medicine in May, covered 1,306 former Covid patients. It found that one in eight people who had been hospitalised with the virus between May 2020 and March 2021 were later diagnosed with myocarditis.
‘Prior to Covid they had been fit and healthy,’ he says. ‘I think that the damage is more than just to these patients’ hearts but to their wider cardiovascular systems.
‘It may also involve their blood vessels, which helps to explain why such long Covid patients are showing physical problems and loss of quality of life.’
Dr David Strain, a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Exeter who specialises in viral infections, also believes Professor McCann’s results may not represent the whole picture.
‘The patients he studied are generally being followed up after they have left hospital, when the main danger period has passed,’ he says. ‘Beyond three months there seems to be a negligible risk of bad cardiovascular things happening.’
Dr Strain argues instead that the majority of heart problems emerge in a period that lasts from six to eight weeks after Covid infection. ‘This is the period when we see rates of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots going up,’ he says. ‘During this post-infection danger period, Covid picks on your weakest parts, such as your heart and arteries.’ Over the longer term Dr Strain says worrying evidence is mounting to suggest that the virus can hide dormant in our bodies for months or even years.
‘If the virus can hide in the body then anything that weakens a person’s immune defences — such as physical stress, infection or reinfection with another strain of Covid — may allow the virus to re-emerge,’ he says. ‘There is evidence to suggest long Covid can be caused by the virus persisting, and having surges subsequently may cause cardiovascular disease.’
This, Dr Strain says, is why it is crucial people getting over Covid take things very easy when recuperating from the virus. ‘From what we see, people who return to work early are more likely to get post-Covid problems,’ he warns.
Professor Berry agrees. ‘I advise long Covid patients to keep active, but to stay within their own limit,’ he explains. ‘Go for short leisurely walks and if you can do that well, try brisk walks — but don’t overdo it.’
Xand van Tulleken wishes he had taken things more slowly two years ago in the wake of his Covid infection. ‘I did not try to take it easy,’ he says. ‘Even on the day I suffered the first bout of atrial fibrillation, I went straight into work.’
As a result, ‘I went into a downward spiral. Being post-Covid and with heart worries, I felt depressive, miserable,’ he says.
‘Lots of people have gone through this stuff. Fortunately I had the support of my parents, who encouraged me to exercise gently and cooked for me. My twin brother Chris has been hugely helpful with recovering my health by getting me to eat well, not eating junk food and ultraprocessed foods to aid my general health.’
He adds: ‘Professor Toby Hillman was my doctor at the clinic for people with Covid complications. He said his best advice for anyone with long Covid is to rest.’
Thanks to a combination of Xand taking this on board, and having the successful cardioversion op, he says: ‘I now feel amazing.
‘I can go for a run every morning and feel healthy.
‘Convalescence is what we all need after Covid. It sounds such an old-fashioned word, but as a nation we have lost the concept of convalescence. We need to get it back.’

Just in time for fall, there’s a brand-new COVID variant making headway in the U.S.
A new COVID strain started to create waves among virus trackers this week, outpacing nearly all other variants of interest scientists are tracking in the U.S. this autumn.
The variant, which scientists have named BF.7—short for BA.5.2.1.7—comprised 1.7% of sequenced infections last week in the U.S., according to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Other variants jockeying for the top spot right now—held by BA.5, at 85%—include BA.4.6, which comprised 10.3% of infections, and BA.2.75, which comprised 1.3%.
Scientists are taking notice of BF.7 because it’s making headway in an increasingly crowded field of Omicron subvariants. For months they’ve watched BA.2.75—dubbed Centaurus by the Twitterverse—as a variant of interest with potential to surge this fall. But this week, BF.7 surpassed it.
Potentially more transmissible than BA.5
BF.7 is only beginning to grow off in the U.S., but it’s already taken off in other countries.
So far Belgium has seen the lion’s share of BF.7 cases identified globally: 25%. Denmark, Germany, and France have each seen 10% of the world’s identified cases so far, according to cov-lineages.org, a COVID data repository updated daily by contributors from universities in England, Scotland, and Australia, among others.
The new subvariant was first reported by the CDC as part of cases of BA.5, which rose to prominence this summer. But the CDC recently broke it out into its own category when cases topped 1%, Dr. Stuart Ray, vice chair of medicine for data integrity and analytics at Johns Hopkins Department of Medicine, told Fortune.
“The same growth advantage in multiple countries makes it reasonable to think that BF.7 is gaining a foothold,” and that it’s potentially more transmissible than parent BA.5, Ray said. Children of variants “don’t grow relative to their parent unless they have an advantage.”
While nothing is known about the severity of disease BF.7 might cause, so far all Omicron subvariants have had similar severity, he added.
The new subvariant has a change in the spike protein—a feature that allows it to enter cells—seen in other Omicron strains making headway. It also has a change in the nucleotide sequence—sometimes referred to as the blueprint of an organism—that could cause it to behave differently than other subvariants. But the extent to which it will diverge, if it does at all, is currently unknown, Ray said.
COVID is continually evolving to become more immune evasive, according to Ray, and Omicron is spawning exponentially. He added he wouldn’t be surprised to see a new variant altogether this fall.
“It’s been a while since we went from Alpha to Beta to Gamma to Delta, then to Omicron,” he said. “We may be complacent. This may be feeding into the notion that this is behind us.”
The tangle of Omicron spawns—with or without a new parent variant—could make for a rough fall and winter, Ray said.
His advice? Continue to mask and get your booster. And remember that the pandemic isn’t over.
“There are people who predicted COVID would be over by Easter of last year,” he said.
El Templo de Viracocha ( Cultura incaica - Imperio incaico )

Raqchi es un sitio arqueológico de los Incas en la región Cusco en Perú también conocido como el Templo de Wiracocha. Un pueblo cercano tiene el mismo nombre. Ambos se encuentran alo lado del Río Vilcanota ( Rio Urubamba ). El sitio ha experimentado un reciente aumento en el turismo en los últimos años, con 83.334 visitantes al sitio en 2006, frente a 8.183 en 2000 y 452 en 1996.
A 117 km ( 2 horas ) desde la ciudad Cusco se encuentra una de las construcciones mas grandes de los Incas. El templo fue destruido en la conquista, pero lo que hoy queda es suficiente para encender la imaginacion y ver cuan grandioso fue 92 metros ( 302 ft ) de largo y 25.5 metros ( 84 ft ) de ancho. El templo es de paredes de adobe y la base de piedras volcanicas ( el Andesita ) en el estilo tipico de los Incas. Esto Templo se compone de un muro de adobe central de la altura entre 18 y 20 metros. Está flanqueada a cada lado por una hilera de once columnas. Antes de su destrucción por los españoles, el templo tenía el mayor techo en el tiempo de Imperio Inca, que tiene su pico en la pared central ( 18 y 20 metros ), a continuación, se extiende sobre las columnas en anchura de 25 metros ( 82 ft ) más allá de cada lado. El templo solo para ser el edificio más grande en el Imperio Inca.
El complejo tambien incluye areas residenciales y graneros, donde se guardaban alimentos. Junto al templo al norte son doce viviendas, que habría albergado a los sacerdotes y los administradores locales. El salón está dividido en lotes separados cuadrado mayor de los cuales es aproximadamente 4x6m. Todos tienen nichos en las paredes que podrían haber sido utilizados para el almacenamiento. Para el lado oriental del templo son unos 100 qolqas (.almacenes rondas.) en líneas paralelas, cada uno mide unos 10 metros ( 33 ft ) de diámetro. Estos almacenes se utiliza para mantener los granos, como el maíz y quinoa. Los depósitos también son únicos ya que a diferencia de otras estructuras en todo el imperio que no son cuadrados acorralado. La razón de esto es desconocido. Un empleo ritual de los productos alimenticios y una economía de campo perfecta se consideran como probable. las hambrunas eran desconocidas antes de la llegada de los españoles en el imperio de los Incas.
Al oeste del templo es un gran campo, ahora se utilizan por los lugareños para la agricultura,
que podría haber sido un parque de atracciones o mantener desbordamiento de fieles desde el mismo templo. En el extremo occidental de este campo es un conjunto de baños como en los sitios importantes a lo largo del imperio.

Une démarche de développement durable
Le centre de production horticole, c'est 13 300 m2 de serres qui figurent sans doute parmi les plus modernes et performantes du pays. "Nous n'avons pas voulu nous contenter de remplacer les vieilles serres de Créteil et Limeil-Brévannes, explique Thierry
Deman, responsable de la production florale et arboricole de Plaine centrale. Notre objectif, c'était de créer un site de production qui garantisse un haut rendement, respecte l'environnement et offre au personnel de bonnes conditions de travail. C'est
pourquoi nous nous sommes inscrits dans une démarche HQE (haute qualité environnementale) de développement durable."
C'est ainsi que les constructions ont été intégrées dans leur environnement, que les serres ont été travaillées et disposées pour limiter au maximum l'impact visuel, que les arbres et les haies existants ont été préservés et que les matériaux choisis (bois,
verre, aluminium, acier inoxydable, linoléum, peintures sans solvant) l'ont été pour leurs faibles nuisances environnementales.
À l'intérieur, la plupart des réseaux ont été enterrés et l'éclairage a été réalisé avec des luminaires basse luminancepour améliorer le confort visuel.
Les équipements bruyants ont été mis dans des lieux isolés pour limiter les nuisances sonores, des siphons ont été placés régulièrement sur les dallages pour faciliter le nettoyage du sol, des ouvrants de pignons et de toiture ont été installés pour permettre
le brassage et le renouvellement de l'air.
Des économies d'eau et d'énergie
Mais le respect de la démarche HQE est surtout sensible dans la gestion économique et écologique de l'énergie et de l'eau.
De nombreuses dispositions ont ainsi été prises pour réaliser des économies de chauffage et améliorer le confort de travail du personnel (énergie humaine) : orientation des serres dans l'axe nord-sud pour un ensoleillement maximum, utilisation d'un verre spécial pour une filtration positive des rayons solaires (rétention
des UVA), régulation informatisée du climat et installation d'une chaudière à grand volume d'eau, mise en place de chaînes de production pour diminuer les déplacements, les efforts et contraintes physiques, concentration des aires de culture
autour de la galerie de travail.
Par ailleurs, tout a été conçu pour limiter les prélèvements d'eau et supprimer les rejets. C'est ainsi qu'un bassin de récupération des eaux de toiture a été réalisé et qu'un système d'arrosage, fondé sur le drainage et le recyclage des eaux de sol
a été mis en œuvre (voir encadré).
Ce sont bien, ainsi, des serres du XXIe siècle qui ont ouvert à Mandres-les-Roses. Un univers de fleurs et de plantes vertes certes, mais aussi de tapis de convoyage, de ponts roulants et de chariots mécaniques, car l'automatisation est omniprésente et a
permis à chaque étape de la production (rempotage, fertilisation ...) et de la manutention (transport du terreau, des plaques de culture ...) d'éliminer la plupart des tâches pénibles. Quant aux ordinateurs dont la présence peut également surprendre, ils
gèrent, ni plus ni moins que le chauffage, l'arrosage et le climat.
Un système d'arrosage innovant
En matière de développement durable et de protection de l'environnement, les serres communautaires se situent à la pointe de la technologie. Alors que les dégâts causés aux nappes phréatiques par les engrais et traitements divers sont depuis longtemps avérés et que l'eau devient un bien de plus en plus précieux, les serres communautaires ne polluent pas et permettent de réaliser des économies. Elles le doivent à l'installation d'un système d'arrosage qui met en œuvre le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage et la récupération des eaux de pluie (ou eaux de toiture). Comme le montre le schéma ci-dessous, le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage s'effectue par filtration à travers une toile perméable et une couche de roche volcanique au pouvoir tampon, disposées sous les plantes. Les eaux de pluie, elles, sont récupérées dans un bassin de 500 m3. Après mélange et fertilisation dans une station de pompage, eaux de pluie et d'arrosage sont dirigées sur les rampes d'arrosage.
Saturday 26 October 2013: Mandalay (မန္တလေး)
Our free day in Mandalay (မန္တလေး) (map) started with a walking tour of Ze Cho / Zegyo market, led by Josh, which was really interesting. The group then split into those who did a sight seeing tour with Josh as an optional extra (why not include it - as we found out, DIY in Mandalay is far harder than elsewhere), and Joelle, Anna, Miriam and I who opted to try out hand at taking in the sights on public transport.... where we had variable success: finding the bus stops near the market was tricky, but we had lots of help from local people (and even more offers from taxi drivers who wanted to take us on a tour), but unfortunately our first bus got a flat type somewhere on 32nd Street, and the next bus we hopped on to get us up to the cluster of pagodas north east of the Mandalay Palace (မန္တလေး နန်းတော်) complex charged us 1000k each (I think the local fare was closer to 100k-200k).... At least our adventures on public transport meant I got familiar with numbers written in Burmese script.
Along with the Palace, several of the pagodas are covered by a $10 combined ticket, but we decided to avoid those and focused instead on "the world's biggest book" - aka the inscribed marble 'tomb stones' at Kuthodaw Pagoda (ကုသိုလ်တော်ဘုရား) (although getting into it we took the "scenic route" around the perimeter walls and through some goat-filled woods). We did get to see the beautiful carved teak of the Shwe Nandaw Kyaung / Shwenandaw Monastery (ရွှေနန်းတော်ကျောင်း) through the bars of the railings that surround it, and the outside of the Atumashi Kyaung (အတုမရှိကျောင်း) monastery next door. We did a lot of walking, in vain, in search of the Sandamundi Pagoda - I think our directions/info was wrong as we wandered along long N-S streets and the military compounds that sit to the east of Mandalay Hill.
Having sat on a very slow bus back to the Ze Cho / Zegyo market area, we cut out losses and negotiated with a private taxi driver to take us to the sights south west of the city centre, which proved 3000k each well spent as he took us to the quiet (free) entrances to the stunning Maha Muni Pagoda (မဟာမုနိဘုရားကြီး), where the (male) faithful stick gold leaf offerings onto the ever growing Sacred Living Image of the Buddha, and the Shwe In Bin Kyaung, where we got to go inside the beautiful carved teak monastery building and to wander around the grounds (almost) all by ourselves.
At 4 o'clock we rendezvoused in the reception of the Silver Star Hotel, and were driven to Mandalay Hill (မန္တလေးတောင်), where sadly the rain impinged on our sunset views over Mandalay but (re)visting the Kuthodaw Pagoda en route (would have been nice to have been told that this morning). Still, dinner at the really super Super 81 made up for the rain - a feast, and a bargain to boot!
