Stow Minster
Detail: Brass to Richard Burgh of Stow Hall, in Stow Minster
Also to Amy his wife. He died in 1616.
The Minster Church of St Mary, Stow in Lindsey is one of the oldest parish churches in England. It originally served as the Cathedral Church of the ancient diocese of Lindsey, founded in the 7th century, and stands on the site of a much older one.
History
The bishop's seat at Sidnacester (Syddensis) has been placed, by various commentators, at Caistor, Louth, Horncastle and, most often, at Stow, all in present-day Lincolnshire, England. The location remains unknown. More recently Lincoln has been suggested as a possible site.
There had been a church situated in Stow even before the arrival of the Danes in 870, the year they are documented to have burnt the church down. The building remained in ruins until an Abbey was built in 1040, reputedly by bishop Eadnoth II.
Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Stow parish church, sometimes referred to as the "Mother Church of Lincolnshire," is one of the largest and oldest parish churches in England. It is partly Saxon and partly Norman in date and is designated by English Heritage as a “Scheduled Ancient Monument” and was also included in the World Monuments Fund's 2006 list of the world's 100 most endangered sites.[5] It has the tallest Saxon arches of its time in Britain,[6] the earliest known example of Viking graffiti in England (a rough scratching of an oared Viking sailing ship, probably dating from the 10th century), a font that is Early English, standing on nine supports with pagan symbols around its base and an early wall painting dedicated to St Thomas Becket.
Ralph de Diceto attributes the church's foundation to Elnothus Lincolniensis, almost certainly Aelfnoth, Bishop of Dorchester, c. 975, who built the church, possibly on the site of an earlier wooden Saxon church, to serve as Minster (or mother church) for the Lincolnshire part of his large diocese, it was a second cathedral because part of the bishop's household of priests (which later became the cathedral chapter) lived in Stow and administered this part of the diocese. The memory of this period gave rise to the tradition that Stow is the Mother Church of Lincoln Cathedral.
It is said to have been re-founded and re-endowed in 1054 by Leofric and Godiva encouraged by Bishop Wulfwig as a Minster of Secular Canons with the Bishop at its head. In 1091 Bishop Remigius of Fécamp re-founded it as an abbey and brought monks to it from Eynsham Abbey, describing the church as having been a long time deserted and ruined. Within five years his successor had transferred the monks back whence they had come and St Mary's had become a parish church.
In 1865 J. L. Pearson built the stair turret outside the church. This was originally inside the church in the nave up against the north side of the tower arch. At the same time some windows were altered and the church was re-roofed. A new vestry was added in the early 1990s (some skeletons and a broken 13th century limestone cross were found during the work).
One mile (2 km) to the west of the village and lying just to the south of the Roman road from Lincoln to York, known as Tillbridge Lane are to be found the remains of the medieval palace of the Bishops of Lincoln built in 1336. All that can be seen today are the earthworks of the moat and to the north and east of the site the earthwork remains of its associated medieval fish-ponds.
Şehirlerin de gizli bir iç dünyası var mıdır ki insanlar gibi...
Gündüzleri farklı mıdır gecelerinden?..
Kendilerinden olana ayrı, yabancılara ayrı yüzlerini mi gösterirler?
Acı çekerler mi bu ikiyüzlülükten?..
Herkes yatıp da el ayak çekildiğinde gecenin kaftanına sığınıp bambaşka bir kente mi dönüşürler?
Şeytana uyarlar mı baştan çıkarıldıklarında?..
Işıklı caddeleri, görkemli meydanları, gurur abideleri kadar, dumanlı batakhanelerini, belalı izbelerini, sefil hemşehrilerini de kendilerinden sayarlar mı?
Giderler mi sevdiklerinin peşinden, gerçekten?..

Confronto in musica tra le bande cittadine di Desenzano e di Peschiera, domenica 20 settembre a San Martino della Battaglia.
A suon di fiati e percussioni si confronteranno sul palco in piazza Per la Concordia a San Martino della Battaglia le bande cittadine di Peschiera e Desenzano del Garda. “La sfida del Basso Garda”, concerto a ingresso libero, si terrà la prossima domenica 20 settembre alle ore 18. L’evento, rinviato a inizio estate a causa del maltempo, chiuderà la stagione estiva del Comune desenzanese e offrirà al pubblico un simpatico e brillante “duello” in musica, tra sponda bresciana e veronese del lago, con protagonisti i quasi cento musicisti dell’Ente filarmonico Banda cittadina di Desenzano, diretti dal maestro Guido Poni, e della Banda musicale cittadina di Peschiera, guidati dal maestro Andrea Loss.
La formazione desenzanese ha festeggiato lo scorso anno i suoi 140 anni d’attività bandistica (dal 1874), a cui si è aggiunta la Scuola di Musica, prezioso vivaio per il futuro dell’ente, le cui lezioni riprendono proprio in questo mese. Mentre la banda arilicense, con i suoi 34 anni d’esperienza, vanta origini antiche, a quando cioè le truppe austriache occuparono la cittadina fortificata facendone uno dei punti strategici del famoso “Quadrilatero”; nell’800 nacque a Peschiera la prima fanfara militare e poi la prima banda tra le due guerre mondiali. Anche la formazione di Peschiera è affiancata da una scuola di musica attiva, frequentata da allievi di ogni età.
The Katyń massacre ("zbrodnia katyńska" in Polish) was the mass murder of approximately 22000 Polish nationals carried out by the Soviet secret police (NKVD) in April and May 1940. The massacre was prompted by a proposal (dated 5th March 1940) from Lavrentiy Beria, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, to execute all members of the Polish Officer Corps who had been captured and imprisoned by the USSR during the Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. This official document was approved and signed by the Soviet Politburo, including its leader Joseph Stalin.
As well as approximately 8000 officers of the Polish army, the victims of the Katyń massacre included 6000 police officers and thousands of university lecturers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, civic leaders, politicians, government officials, priests and other members of the "bourgeoisie" who had been targeted for arrest following the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland.
By physically eliminating Poland’s military and civilian elites, Stalin wanted to decapitate the Polish nation and ensure it was less able to resist the enforced Sovietisation of the occupied Polish territories.
The victims were all citizens of Poland, but not all were ethnically Polish - for example, the murdered army officers included Ukrainians, Belarusians and several hundred Jews, among them Baruch Steinberg, the Chief Rabbi of the Polish army. The majority were interned at three Soviet camps (Kozielsk, Starobielsk and Ostaszków) before being taken to NKVD mass murder sites, where they were executed and buried in mass graves.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Steinberg
Although the killings took place at several different locations in Soviet Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, the massacre is named after the Katyń forest in the Smolensk Oblast of western Russia where the graves of the Kozielsk prisoners were discovered in 1943. The exact fate of the other victims and the location of their graves was not confirmed until five decades later. After the discovery of the Katyń burial site the USSR denied responsibility for the massacre and tried to blame it on the Germans, and continued to lie about the killings for 50 years until finally admitting Soviet guilt in 1990 and revealing where the remaining victims were buried.
It eventually became possible to exhume and identify the bodies from the mass murder sites at Charków (Kharkiv), where the NKVD murdered the prisoners who were interned at Starobielsk, and Miednoje (Mednoye), where the NKVD murdered the prisoners who were interned at Ostaszków - as well as other locations such as Bykownia (Bykivnia).
Most of the Ostaszków prisoners were killed by Beria's chief executioner Vasily Blokhin, who was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by Stalin at the end of April 1940 for demonstrating "skill and organisation in the effective carrying out of special tasks".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin
Although several other ex-members of the NKVD eventually confessed to participating in the Katyń massacre, none of the perpetrators were ever brought to justice, and neither the Soviet government nor successive governments of Russia have ever permitted a full investigation of this war crime.
There's also no shortage of vatniks, tankies and other useful idiots out there who are still in denial about it, even though claims that the murders were carried out by the Germans have zero credibility and have been comprehensively debunked (it's actually impossible for the Polish prisoners interned at Ostaszków - who disappeared without trace in 1940 and whose bodies were found in Miednoje in 1991 - to have been captured, killed and buried by the Germans, who never reached either of these locations in Russia at any time during World War 2)....

The monument in Gunnersbury Cemetery was unveiled on 18th September 1976 after much delay. The Polish community in London had tried in vain to get permission to create a memorial to the victims of the Katyń massacre for many years, which was prevented by successive British governments, bowing to Soviet pressure. No government representative was present at the opening ceremony.

.
.
.
Das Schloss Oberhofen ist ein Schloss in der Gemeinde Oberhofen am T.hunersee im
Berner Oberland im Kanton Bern in der Schweiz.
.
.
.
Es gehörte einst Walter IV. von E.schenbach, der 1308 zusammen mit weiteren
Verschwörern König Albrecht von H.absburg ermordete.
.
.
Der Bergfried stammt aus dem 12. Jahrhundert, der Palas mit der K.apelle aus dem
15. Jahrhundert.
Im 14. Jahrhundert gelangte das Schloss an die H.absburger und wurde nach der
S.chlacht bei S.empach von bernischen Truppen besetzt.
Die Burg und die dazugehörende Herrschaft gingen zuerst an die Familie von
S.charnachtal und danach an andere bernische Patriziergeschlechter über.
1652 bis 1798 war das Schloss Sitz eines bernischen Landvogts und gelangte 1801
in P.rivatbesitz.
1954 wurde hier eine Z.weigstelle des H.istorischen M.useums B.ern eröffnet.

Der Thunersee ist ein Alpensee im Berner Oberland am nördlichen Alpenrand im Kanton Bern
der Schweiz.
.
.
.
Der See ist 17,5 km lang und max. 3,5 km breit. Seine F.läche beträgt 48,3 km² (er ist damit
der grösste ganz in einem Kanton Bern liegende See ), die maximale Tiefe 217 m.

An seinem nördlichen A.usfluss, der A.are, liegt die namengebende S.tadt T.hun.
Nach der letzten E.iszeit bildete sich dort, wo heute zwei Seen liegen, der so genannte
Wendelsee. Durch A.blagerungen von G.eschiebe der verschiedenen B.ergbäche (vor allem
durch den L.ombach und die L.ütschine) bildete sich ungefähr in der M.itte des Sees eine
E.bene, das „B.ödeli“, auf der heute die G.emeinden I.nterlaken, M.atten und U.nterseen
liegen. Diese S.chwemmebene teilte den See in den Thuner- und den B.rienzersee.
.
.
Bei Normalwasserstand liegt der Seespiegel auf 558m. Der Thunersee hat ein E.inzugsgebiet
von 2500 km². Bei längeren, starken N.iederschlägen kann er über die U.fer treten, da die
A.bflusskapazität der A.are nur beschränkt ist.
Diese wichtige Staufunktion des Thunersees erspart der tiefergelegen S.tadt B.ern
einige Ü.berschwemmungen, führt in T.hun hingegen hin und wieder zu Problemen.
Der maximale A.bfluss beträgt 345 m³ pro Sekunde, der mittlere A.bfluss liegt bei 110 m³/s.
Sein H.auptzufluss, die A.are, wird im S.üdosten vom 6 Meter höhergelegenen B.rienzersee
gespeist.

Von der F.ischerei im Thunersee leben mehrere B.erufsfischer. Im Jahr 2.0.0.1 betrug ihr
G.esamtertrag 53'048 Kilogramm.
Seit 1.8.3.5 gibt es auf dem See eine P.assagierschifffahrt. Heute betreibt die B.L.S A.G eine
F.lotte von zehn S.chiffen, darunter der h.istorische S.chaufelraddampfer B.lümlisalp sowie
von 2.0.0.1 bis 2.0.0.3 das weit über die R.egion hinaus bekannte D.rachenschiff (umgebautes
M.otorschiff S.tadt T.hun).
An den U.fern des Thunersees wird in den G.emeinden T.hun, S.piez, O.berhofen und
H.ilterfingen W.einbau betrieben. Weisse S.orten sind M üller - T.hurgau und C.hardonnay,
rote Sorten sind G.aranoir und P.inot N.oir. Das R.ebbaugebiet Thunersee besitzt seit dem
1. J.anuar 2.0.0.8 den gesetzlichen Status einer A.OC.
Die R.üstungsbetriebe des B.undes versenkten nach dem 2. W.eltkrieg rund 3000 T.onnen
M.unition und M.unitionsbestandteile im Thunersee, da dies als sicherer und günstiger
Entsorgungsweg galt. Zurzeit ( 2.0.0.7 ) läuft ein Untersuchungsprogramm, das die
V.erschmutzung des Sees durch den M.unitionsinhalt und die B.ergungsmöglichkeiten
abklärt.
