S. Maria in Cannella
Il luogo detto in Cannella nel medio evo, risponde all' odierna piazzetta che si apre innanzi all' oratorio del ssm̃o Crocifisso in via dell' Umiltà. Forse provenne questa denominazione da una fontana dell' acqua Vergine che ivi doveva esistere. La nostra chiesa dunque sorgeva presso quella piazzetta; ciò risulta anche dalla pianta di Roma del Bufalini, ove in quel sito vedesi segnata una chiesa. Michele Lonigo scrive che s. Maria in Cannella fu membro della chiesa di s. Marcello, a cui fu concessa da Eugenio III nel 1145, e confermata da Gregorio IX, e da altri papi. Era edificata sopra la strada che va dal Corso a Monte Cavallo (via dei Tre Ladroni), e fu buttata a terra, nel tempo di Paolo V, per fare la strada che va da quella di Monte Cavallo alla strada delle Muratte. L' Adinolfi ha trovato che vi era una cappella di s. Caterina e che vi ebbero sepoltura le famiglie dei Tasca e dei Petitti, le quali possedevano nelle vicinanze le loro case. Questa chiesa doveva essere antichissima, poichè è ricordata p290dal Camerario e dal codice di Torino. Il Martinelli la confuse con quella di s. Maria in Trivio. È ricordata nella tassa delle chiese di Pio IV col nome di s. Maria in Carella.

In most American cities, football games ranges from Pee Wee all the way up to High School Varsity. While Friday's and Sunday's are the big days for football in Pennyslvania, a small segment of players get to show thier stuff on Monday's as the day is designated for Junior Varsity, or those that may not necessarly be starters on the Varsity team. This past Monday saw the Red Lion Lions visited the home of the York High Bearcats, the same schools that played the Varsity game this past Friday. LockedIN Magazine photographer Rick "Beetle" Bailey of @bbphotographer58 and @MyMidAtlantic was on the sidelines Monday to keep our fans LockedIN.
From Wikipedia:
Petra (Greek "πέτρα" (petra), meaning rock; Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ) is a historical and archaeological city in the Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that is famous for its rock cut architecture and water conduits system. Established sometime around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans,[2] it is a symbol of Jordan as well as its most visited tourist attraction.[2] It lies on the slope of Mount Hor[3] in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage."[4] Petra was chosen by the BBC as one of "the 40 places you have to see before you die".[5]
Oriental White-eye
The Oriental white-eye (Zosterops palpebrosus) is a small passerine bird in the white-eye family. It is a resident breeder in open woodland in tropical Asia, east from the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia, extending to Indonesia and Malaysia. They forage in small groups, feeding on nectar and small insects. They are easily identified by the distinctive white eye-ring and overall yellowish upperparts. Several populations of this widespread species are named subspecies and some have distinctive variations in the extent and shades of yellows in their plumage.
This bird is small (about 8–9 cm long) with yellowish olive upper parts, a white eye ring, yellow throat and vent. The belly is whitish grey but may have yellow in some subspecies. The sexes look similar. The species is widespread and is part of a superspecies complex that includes Zosterops japonicus, Zosterops meyeni and possibly others. The taxonomy of the group is still unclear with some island populations being distinctive while some subspecies are not well supported. The population from Flores, Indonesia for instance is found closer to the pale white-eye. The family itself is now questioned since they are nested along with the Stachyris babblers.
About eleven subspecies are well recognised. These include the nominate form (type locality Bengal, India) which is found from Oman and Arabia, Afghanistan, northern India and extends into China and northern Myanmar. The population in the Western Ghats and hills of southern India is placed in nilgiriensis while salimalii of the Eastern Ghats hills (Shevaroy, Chitteri, Seshachalam, Nallamalai) is sometimes subsumed into the nominate race. The population of the plains of India, Laccadives and Sri Lanka are sometimes placed in egregius (= egregia) but is restricted by other works to the population in Sri Lanka. The populations in southern Myanmar, Thailand and Laos are placed in siamensis. The Nicobar Islands form is nicobaricus and is sometimes also used for the population on the Andaman Islands which are however distinctive and a distinct unnamed population. The populations from southern Thailand to western Cambodia are placed in williamsoni. Other Southeast Asian island forms include auriventer (=aureiventer), buxtoni, melanurus and unicus.
Race occidentis (now often subsumed into the nominate race) of the Western Himalayas has the upper side dark green and the flanks are tinged in brown. The form salimalii has a shorter bill and is brighter yellow-green above. Some authors consider the nominate race to be restricted to Sikkim, Bhutan, Assam and Yunnan and consider the peninsular race as occidentis (or amabilis if the form from Kathiawar described by Koelz is considered valid).
In Sri Lanka, race egregia is smaller and has a brighter back and throat than the endemic Sri Lanka white-eye, Zosterops ceylonensis found in the central hills.
The English and scientific names refer to the conspicuous ring of white feathers round the eyes, zosterops being Greek for 'girdle-eye'.
The species is found in a wide range of habitats from scrub to moist forest. They sometimes occur on mangrove areas such as in the Karachi area. and on islands they may lead a more insectivorous life. They are somewhat rare only in the drier desert regions of western India.
A feral population was detected in San Diego, California in the 1980s and subsequently eradicated.
These white-eyes are sociable, forming flocks which only separate on the approach of the breeding season. They are highly arboreal and only rarely descend to the ground. The breeding season is February to September but April is the peak breeding season and the compact cup nest is a placed like a hammock on the fork of a branch. The nest is made of cobwebs, lichens and plant fibre. The nest is built in about 4 days and the two pale blue eggs are laid within a couple of days of each other. The eggs hatch in about 10 days. Both sexes take care of brooding the chicks which fledge in about 10 days. Though mainly insectivorous, the Oriental white-eye will also eat nectar and fruits of various kinds.
They call frequently as they forage and the usual contact call is a soft nasal cheer. They pollinate flowers when they visit them for flower insects (such as thrips) and possibly nectar (questioned) that form their diet. The forehead is sometimes coloured by pollen leading to mistaken identifications. They have been observed bathing in dew accumulated on leaves.
When nesting, they may mob palm squirrels but being small birds they are usually on the defensive. Their predators include bats (esp. Megaderma lyra) and birds such as the white-throated kingfisher. Endoparasitic Haemosporidia of the genus Haemoproteus and Dorisa have been isolated from the species although these rarely cause death.
Like some other white-eyes, they sometimes steal nest material from the nests of other birds. Cases of interspecific feeding have been noted with white-eyes feeding the chicks of a paradise flycatcher.
Although not strong fliers, they are capable of dispersing in winds and storms to new areas including offshore islands. A feral population of this species established itself in California during the 1980s requiring their capture and destruction. They were captured by luring them using call playback and live decoys into mistnets.
I have work in an exhibition in the Foxlowe Gallery in Leek, North Staffordshire.
I was there today as part of a "Meet the Artist" event where visitors can ask an exhibitor about the exhibition.
Leek is an interesting town architecturally, displaying a William Morris and Arts and Crafts heritage.
The Buxton and Leek college in the centre of town is of particular interest.

Addiction is the primary youth-associated problem today, not just in Utah, but in most countries in the world.
The house was built in 1738 as a guest house and "fine" room for important events, and is therefore larger and more luxurious than most houses. However, the floor plan and furnishings are basically the same as other houses in the area.A gallery in stave con-struction extends from the door around the gable wall. One modern element is the low upper story without windows. In the anteroom are several items from the Heddal stave church which belonged to the Hove family. The carved medieval lectern in the anteroom was made into a collection box for the poor. The main room has a ceiling of beams, and the fire-place, bed, table, cupboards and benches are made and arranged according to local custom. The bed is large and the cupboard at its foot is the entrance to the cellar. The wealthy Ole Olsen Hove had the house built when he married Tone Sveinungsdatter Hove, heiress to the farm. Ole was the son of the famous sheriff, Ole Hovdejord, also known as Tinnemannen. The initials TSD and 00S are carved into the cupboards at the ends of the table and later generations have also recorded their presence. All of the items and furnishings shown were sent with the house.
