fish include parrot fish - greenish blue ones in the middle. very good meaty fish, caught on the reef.
Two or three of us would go out with a long net at low tide. We could see the group of parrot fish feeding near the edge of the reef - right before it drops in to the ocean's depths. We would circle around the group of fish and the person in the lead would run like crazy between the fish and the reef's edge. The fish would panic. Some would swim to safety out and over the reef's edge. Some would swim 'inland' and then try to escape by swimming back out to deeper water. They were usually the unlucky ones since they would swim in to the net and be caught. We would take the fish out of the net and put them on a strip from a coconut front. Frequently it was my job to carry the string of fish. Sometimes sharks would come on to the reef flat and try and catch some of the fish. That was always rather interesting when I was the one carrying the fish! After we had caught enough fish we would take them up on to shore and gut the parrot fish. They needed to be gutted soon after catching so they wouldn't spoil. We also had to be careful of the spines on some fish since the spines were poisonous and would easily cut skin. That was a bit painful when it happened.
The Oz (Oscar Diggs) 12'' doll has been deboxed. He is posed free standing, both with and without his accessories, which include his top hat, his traveling bag, and the China Girl 4'' mini doll.
The Oscar Diggs doll is a 12'' tall posable fashion doll, with a removable outfit. It consists of a black faux wool coat with black satin lining, a black satin vest, dark gray pinstriped pants, a black bow tie, and white satin dress shirt. His vest is actually only a front panel sewn onto his shirt. He also has ankle high black boots, and a black top hat. His outfit looks well tailored, and fits him well.
His face is a decent facimile of the Oscar Diggs movie character. His skin tone is a medium tan. He has dark brown facial hair, with thick eyebrows, mustache and goatee. He has small, narrow dark brown eyes staring straight ahead. His nose is medium sized and straight. He has short rooted hair that is a mixture of dark brown and black strands. His sideburns are black. His hair is slicked back, but doesn't have a lot of hair product, so is still soft and resilient, even over his forehead, and stays pretty neat. I groom his hair just using my fingers.
His body is well proportioned, with his head, hands, feet looking to be realistic sizes. His articulation consists of neck, shoulder, elbow and hip joints. His neck is a ball joint allowing 360 rotation and tilting up about 20 degrees. His shoulder ball joint allowing 360 rotation about a vertical plane, and tilting about 45 degrees from the vertical. His elbows are ball joints allowing 360 degress rotation, and tilting about 45 degrees. Finally his hips allow 360 rotation (constrained by his pants), and tilting about 20 degrees away from the vertical. He can sit with his legs together. Since he cannot bend his knees, he has to sit with his legs straight.
I think that this doll is a great bargain for the $20 price. He looks good, has rooted hair, has a good looking outfit, with many accessories, including the 4'' China Girl mini doll. The mini doll seems to be identical to the Disney Store mini doll, that is sold separately for $9.50. I can't be absolutely sure of that until I get the DS mini doll, which should happen by Tuesday, February 19.

Prince of Wales Hotel, Waterton Park, Alberta, Canada
In 1913 Louis Warren Hill Sr., chairman of the Great Northern Railway, visited Waterton and announced his desire to include a Canadian lodge in his expanding hotel and chalet development in Glacier National Park. What motivated Hill to proceed was the 1923 end of Prohibition in Alberta. A resort hotel in Waterton could lure American tourists to Glacier and then north across the U.S.-Canada border to Alberta so they could legally drink alcohol. Hill selected the Cardston contractors Douglas Oland and James Scott. A storm in December 1926 nearly tore down the half-built structure. Oland and Scott were also hampered by Louis Hill’s ever-changing vision of the final project. The Prince of Wales Hotel was originally supposed to look much like Many Glacier Hotel. A third of the way through the build, Hill decided to radically change the roofline and add three storeys. The hotel was opened on July 25, 1927, too much acclaim. Orignial estimated cost to build the hotel was $250,000 but final tab was $1,000,000. Funding was through Louis Hill's inheritance - the Canadian entity for the Prince of Wales Hotel was known as Canadian Rockies Hotel Company LTD with Hill as President. With 87 rooms on 7 floors under a steeply gable roof the hotel looked like a Swiss kings palace. (History provided by Glacier Park Foundation.)
The Prince of Wales Hotel was luxury in the wilderness with steam-heated rooms, hot and cold running water, electricity, a full service dining room, an elevator, laundry, beauty parlor and barber shop, all overseen by professional and uniformed staff. Rooms rented for $8 to $12 a day, American plan. A couple of weeks later, a tavern opened to serve beer to thirsty Americans.
The lake-side community of Waterton Park got a shock when the Great Northern didn’t open the Prince of Wales Hotel in 1933, with the railway citing the downturn in economic conditions caused by the Great Depression. The railway said it would not reopen the hotel until a more direct route was built between Waterton and Glacier, versus all bus traffic having to go via Cardston. Construction of Chief Mountain International Highway was undertaken as a work relief project and completed in 1936, when the railway kept its promise and reopened the hotel. The new highway saved 30 miles from the Many Glacier Hotel to Waterton.
During 1935 when the hotel was closed, Waterton townsite faced the threat of a forest fire. Great Northern sent its chief engineer, Ray Sleeger, and other staff to Waterton to protect the shuttered hotel. The fire was snuffed out before it reached the town, and despite not having a hand in battling the blaze, the wily Sleeger sent a telegram to his bosses saying: “I saved the hotel.” Great Northern president W.P. Kenney famously replied: “Why?” By then Prohibition had ended in the United States so there was no need for the hotel, and given the financial times, the purpose for keeping the hotel was dubious. The hotel would again be closed, from 1942 to 1945, due to the Second World War.
The longest term for a manager of the Prince of Wales Hotel was set by Harley Boswell. Accompanied by his wife Anna, who worked as head housekeeper, the Boswells oversaw the Prince for 23 seasons (1930-1958). They’d cut their teeth at Chateau Lake Louise and at the Banff Springs Hotel. An American citizen, Harley Boswell eventually landed a job as assistant manager at the prestigious Palmer House in Chicago. He managed to get summers off each year to work in Waterton.
Operation of the Prince of Wales Hotel is taken over by a Minnesota corporation headed by Donald Knutson from 1957 to 1959. Major upgrades are made to the hotel, including installation of a fire suppression sprinkler system, new exterior fire escapes, installation of a new lobby light fixture, closing of the tavern and opening of a liquor lounge, and remodelling of the giftshop.
The Prince of Wales Hotel and other Great Northern-owned lodges in Glacier are sold in 1960 to Don Hummel, his brother Gail, and Don Ford, who pay $1.4 million. They assume operation under the name Glacier Park, Inc.
Robert Hayes begins as manager of the Prince of Wales. His last summer was 1972. In 1981 Don Hummel sells Glacier Park, Inc. to Greyhound Corp. of Phoenix, Arizona - later known as Viad Corporation and now marketed as PURSUIT Collection. Chris Caulfield has served as General Manager at Prince of Wales Hotel since 2015. The staff all don royal tartans, or kilts, in homage to the hotel’s British namesake, Prince Edward.

Laugharne is a town located on the south coast of Carmarthenshire, Wales, lying on the estuary of the River Tâf.
The ward includes Laugharne, the village of Pendine and Pendine Sands. It was the civil parish corresponding to the marcher borough of Laugharne. A predominantly English-speaking area, just south of the Landsker Line, it is bordered by the communities of Llanddowror, St Clears, Llangynog and Llansteffan.
Laugharne was the home of Dylan Thomas from 1949 until his death in 1953, and is thought to have been the inspiration for the fictional town of Llareggub in Under Milk Wood, though topographically it is more similar to New Quay where Thomas mostly lived whilst he wrote the story.
Attractions in the town include the 12th-century Laugharne Castle, the town hall and the birdlife of the estuary.
Laugharne contains many fine examples of Georgian townhouses, including "Great House" and Castle House, both grade II* listed buildings, with a scattering of earlier vernacular cottages.
There are a number of landmarks in Laugharne connected with the poet and writer Dylan Thomas. These include: The Boathouse, where he lived with his family from 1949 to 1953, and now a museum; his writing shed; and the Dylan Thomas Birthday Walk, which was the setting for the work Poem in October.
Includes cherry tree, raspberries, strawberries, red currants , prune tree, and many green veggies, includes wild service berries
I found this skeletal leaf in the garden today - as I was giving the lawn its first cut. Must be the coldest I've even been whilst mowing the grass.
A macro shot with the leaf taped to a window. Uploaded at full 24MP resolution. It wasn't quite flat, so some parts aren't full sharp, but it shows the all the detail
Low cloud today, so no chance to see the Matterhorn, but still some interesting views between the clouds

The northern gannet (Morus bassanus) is a seabird and the largest member of the gannet family. It has the same colours as the Australasian gannet and is similar in appearance. Nesting in colonies as large as 60,000 pairs on both sides of the north Atlantic this bird undertakes seasonal migrations and is a spectacular high-speed diver.
Old names for the northern gannet include solan and solan goose.
Adults are 81–110 cm (32–43 in) long, weigh 2.2–3.6 kg (4.9–7.9 lb) and have a 165–180 cm (65–71 in) wingspan.
Before fledging, the immature birds (at about 10 weeks of age) can weigh more than 4 kg (8.8 lb). Each wing measures between 47 and 53 cm (19 and 21 in) when outstretched and the beak measures between 9 and 11 cm (3.5 and 4.3 in) (measured from the head). The two sexes are a similar size.
The plumage of the adults is white with dark wing tips, with colours that range from brown to black. The colour of the head, cheeks and side of the neck depends on the season and the individual; during breeding, the head and neck are brushed in a delicate yellow, although this colouring may not be evident in some individuals. The feathers are waterproof, which allows the birds to spend long periods in water. A water-impermeable secretion produced by a sebaceous gland covers the feathers and the birds spread it across their body using their beak or their head. The eye is light blue, and it is surrounded by bare, black skin, which gives the birds their characteristic facial expression.
Young birds are dark brown
Fledglings are brown with white wing tips. They have white spots on their head and on their back and a v-shaped white area underneath. The plumage of one-year-olds can be almost completely brown. In the second year the birds’ appearance changes depending on the different phases of moulting: they can have adult plumage at the front and continue to be brown at the rear. They gradually acquire more white in subsequent seasons until they reach maturity after five years.
Newborn chicks are featherless and are dark blue or black in colour. In the second week of life they are covered in white down.[8] From the fifth week they are covered in dark brown feathers flecked with white.
Their beak is long, strong and conical with a slight downward curve at the end. The front part has a sharp edge. In adults, the beak is blue-grey with dark grey or black edges. It is brownish in immature birds.
The northern gannet’s eyes are large and point forwards, and they have a light blue to light grey iris surrounded by a thin black ring. The four toes of their feet are joined by a membrane that can vary from dark grey to dark brown. There are yellow lines running along the toes that continue along their legs; these lines probably have a role in mating. The rear toe is strong and faces inwards allowing the birds to firmly grip onto vertical cliff faces.
When feeding, these birds are spectacular high-speed divers. They can locate their prey from heights of up to 45 m (148 ft), but they normally search from a height of between 10 and 20 m (33 and 66 ft). When they see a fish they will dive into the water. They dive with their bodies straight and rigid, wings tucked close to the body but reaching back, extending beyond the tail, before piercing the water like an arrow. They control the direction of the dive using their wings. Just as it is going to hit the water a bird will fold its wings against its body. A bird’s head and neck are stretched out in front of the body and the beak is shut. Birds can hit the water at speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph). This allows them to penetrate 3–5 m (10–16 ft) below the surface, and occasionally they will swim down to 12–15 m (40–50 ft).
They usually push their prey deeper into the water and capture it as they return to the surface. When a dive is successful, gannets swallow the fish underwater before surfacing, and never fly with the fish in their bill. Larger fish are swallowed headfirst, smaller fish are swallowed sideways or tail first. The bird’s subcutaneous air bags aid their rapid return to the surface.
Their white colour helps other gannets to identify one of their kind and they can deduce the presence of a shoal of fish by this diving behaviour; this in turn facilitates group foraging, which makes capturing their prey easier. Northern gannets also forage for fish while swimming with their head under water.
Some studies have found that the duration and direction of flights made while foraging for food are similar for both sexes. However, there are significant differences in the search behaviour of males and females. Female northern gannets are not only more selective than males in choosing a search area: they also make longer and deeper dives and spend more time floating on the surface than males.[

The Carnegie Museum of Natural History was built in 1895 as part of the Carnegie Institute and Library Complex by Longfellow, Alden & Harlow. The museum wa founded in 1896 by Andrew Carnegie and consists of 115,000 square feet organized into 20 galleries as well as research, library, and office space. It holds some 22 million specimens, of which about 10,000 are on view at any given time and about 1 million are cataloged in online databases. The museum first made history in 1899 when its scientists unearthed the fossils of Diplodocus carnegii. Today its dinosaur collection includes the world's largest collection of Jurassic dinosaurs and its Dinosaurs in Their Time exhibition offers the third largest collection of mounted, displayed dinosaurs in the United States.
The Carnegie Institute and Library Complex was designated a landmark by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation in 1970.

Symi also transliterated Syme or Simi (Greek: Σύμη) is a Greek island and municipality. It is mountainous and includes the harbor town of Symi and its adjacent upper town Ano Symi, as well as several smaller localities, beaches, and areas of significance in history and mythology. Symi is part of the Rhodes regional unit.
The shipbuilding and sponge industries were substantial on the island and, while at their peak near the end of the 19th century, the population reached 22,500.Symi's main industry is now tourism and the population has declined to 2,500
In Greek mythology, Symi is reputed to be the birthplace of the Charites and to take its name from the nymph Syme (in antiquity the island was known as Aigli and Metapontis), though Pliny the Elder and some later writers claimed that the name was derived from scimmia "a monkey". In Homer's Iliad the island is mentioned as the domain of King Nireus, who fought in the Trojan War on the side of the Greeks. Thucydides writes that during the Peloponnesian War there was a Battle of Syme near the island in January, 411 BC, in which an unspecified number of Spartan ships defeated a squadron of Athenian vessels. Little was known about the island until the 14th century, but archaeological evidence indicates that it was continuously inhabited, and ruins of citadels suggest that it was an important location. It was first part of the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire, until its conquest by the Knights of St. John in 1373.
MONASTERIO DE PANORMITIS
Población, 42 habitantes.
El monasterio de Panormitis es un lugar de primer orden, no sólo en la isla, sino en el Dodecaneso y en toda Grecia, no en vano las excursiones de un día desde Rodas tienen parada aquí, al igual que algunos ferries. El monasterio está dedicado al arcángel Miguel y disfruta de una envidiable ubicación en una bahía muy protegida y rodeada de vegetación.
La fundación del monasterio se debe, según la leyenda, al descubrimiento realizado por una campesina del icono milagroso del arcángel. Lo encontró cavando la tierra y se lo llevó a su casa, situándolo en un lugar preferente. Pero al día siguiente desapareció. La muchacha volvió a hallarlo bajo la tierra, en el mismo lugar. Se lo volvió a llevar e igualmente volvió a desaparecer.
Entonces, en un sueño, el arcángel le comunicó que deseaba permanecer en el lugar donde fue hallado y así dio pie a la primera iglesia. La arqueología parece indicar que aquí hubo una primera iglesia paleocristiana, de la cual se aprovecharon algunos elementos, como las columnas, para levantar la nueva.
La fecha más antigua de la existencia del monasterio se remonta hasta el s. XV. En el s. XVII obtuvo la protección de la República Veneciana y en el s. XIX el sultán le ofreció seguridad y amparo. Sin embargo, durante la revolución por la independencia griega, el monasterio, al igual que toda la isla de Symi, apoyó el movimiento insurgente, lo que le valió la enemistad de los turcos.
En la época del dominio italiano, vivió los momentos más duros, con la represión fascista y la condena a muerte, en 1944, del abad del monasterio y dos personas más por prestar apoyo a los Aliados.
El complejo del monasterio consta de varias estructuras: iglesia, celdas, restaurante, tiendas, etc. La iglesia posee frescos de la famosa escuela de pintura sacra de Symi y un iconostasio muy elaborado, tallado en madera, de gran finura.
El icono del arcángel, el más reverenciado, es de plata y está cubierto por numerosos exvotos de peregrinos que desean su favor o dan las gracias por el mismo. El alto y precioso campanario se levantó a inicios del s. XX y es de estilo barroco, muy sobrecargado, donde destacan las líneas rojizas verticales.
El monasterio cuenta con dos museos: el Eclesiástico, con objetos litúrgicos, iconos, ropajes, etc. Y el museo Folclórico, que muestra objetos de la vida cotidiana en la isla, herramientas, aperos, etc. Entrada única de 2 €. También cuenta con un amplio patio de guijarros, con líneas blancas y negras en zigzag, un refectorio y una biblioteca con manuscritos antiguos.
Los días 8 de noviembre y de Pentecostés, se producen grandes celebraciones en el monasterio, vienen personas del Dodecaneso, del resto de Grecia y del extranjero. A los peregrinos se les ofrece comida y albergue y el lugar se llena.
Holy Cross Church ( Bad Kreuznach)
Holy Cross Church
The Holy Cross Church is a Catholic church in Bad Kreuznach, Rhineland-Palatinate.
It is the headquarters of all the parishes in the area. This includes the parishes of St. Francis, St. Nicholas, St. Peter, St. Wolfgang and since January 2011 in a parish community Norheim, Exaltation, Bad Münster, Assumption and Hüffelsheim, Holy Guardian Angel.
Architectural History
Holy Cross was built in 1895-97 according to plans of the Mainz cathedral architect Ludwig Becker in the Gothic Revival style. Especially the color of the stones is striking that glow in a dark sandstone red. By 1921, the interior of the church was realized. This as well was oriented after the designs by the architect Ludwig Becker.
From 1921 to 1935, the equipment by further sculptures was supplemented. After the war the church which had suffered heavy damages between 1947-1949 was reconstructed. 1963, a vestry was added and the hospital chapel installed. Between 1969-72 the church was renovated from the outside. The interior most recently was renovated in 2006. On this occasion, damages on the tower balustrade were observed, which led in the years 2009-10 to further external refurbishments.
Architecture
The Holy Cross Church is a Gothic three-aisled hall church with a wide but short transept and narrow, three-bay aisles. The tall slender bell tower is set into the facade, two-storey oratorios flank the tower. The lively, foliated roofscape is made up of saddle and hipped roofs. A small roof turret marks the intersection of the nave and transept.
The nave merges into the wide chancel. The big crossing allows an unobstructed view to the altar. Columns and pointed arches of red sandstone support the reticulated vault.
The church has an organ loft.
Equipment
Sacrament altar
The neo-Gothic Sacrament altar is a triptych made of wood from the year 1921. It was realized by Mettler, Hartmann and Ronge. Shown is the Lord's Supper, on the left of the altar, Christ on the Mount of Olives and on the right wing the Emmaus scene.
Marie altar
The neo-Gothic Lady altar in the left aisle dates from 1907, it is made of wood. Shown is a crescent Madonna, flanked by the Saint Agnes and Saint Elizabeth. On the left wing the birth of Christ is depicted, on the right the Assumption.
Choir Window
The three stained glass windows of 1969-72 have been designed by Alois Plum from Mainz. They show scenes from the Book of Revelation.
Family altar
The neo-Gothic "family altar" is located in the right aisle. It was manufactured in 1921 of wood by Mettler, Hartmann and Ronge. Shown are the Holy Family and two bishops. The two wings are removed and are now hanging above the shrine. On the left wing Hildegard of Bingen and Gertrude of Nivelles are shown, on the right the Saints Roch of Montpellier and Martin of Tours.
Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross, also neo-Gothic and created between 1906-11, are each mounted opposite the transept in six representations.
Pulpit
The neo-Gothic pulpit made of sandstone was built in the years 1895-97. It was carried out by Christian Hocke from Kaiserslautern. In the niches the four evangelists are to be seen and at the corners St. John the Baptist and the Church Fathers, Jerome, Gregory, Augustine and Ambrose. The pulpit has a neo-Gothic sounding board.
Organ
The organ was in 1998 by the organ builder Sandtner (Dillingen/Donau) built. The instrument has 41 stops on three manuals and pedal.

Daulatabad Fort
Daulatabad also known as Devagiri, is a town which includes the Devagiri-Daulatabad fort It is a 14th-century fort city in Maharashtra state of India, about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) northwest of Aurangabad. The place was originally named Devagiri when it was an important uplands city along caravan routes (ca. sixth century AD), but the intervening centuries have reduced it to a village. However it is also considered to be one of the seven wonders of Maharashtra and a developing tourist spot.
The historical triangular fort of Daulatabad was built by first Yadava king Bhillama V in 1187.
Starting 1327, it famously remained the capital of Tughlaq dynasty, under Muhammad bin Tughluq (r. 1325-1351), who also changed its name, and forcibly moved the entire population of Delhi for two years before it was abandoned for lack of water and Tughluq was constantly known to shift the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad and Daulatabad to Delhi.
There is a belief that Devagiri was built in 1203 AD by a Dhangar or herdsman who acquired vast wealth by his good fortune. He had a brother who was a shepherd named 'Raja Ram' and in correlation with it he assumed the rank of a Raja (King).
Lord Shiva is believed to have been stayed on the hills surrounding this region. Hence the fort was originally known as Devagiri, literally (Hills of Gods)
The area of the city includes the hill-fortress of Devagiri (sometimes Latinised to Deogiri). It stands on a conical hill, about 200 meters high. Much of the lower slopes of the hill has been cut away by Yadava dynasty rulers to leave 50 meter vertical sides to improve defenses. The fort is a place of extraordinary strength. The only means of access to the summit is by a narrow bridge, with passage for not more than two people abreast, and a long gallery, excavated in the rock, which has for the most part a very gradual upward slope.
About midway along this gallery, the access gallery has steep stairs, the top of which is covered by a grating destined in time of war to form the hearth of a huge fire kept burning by the garrison above. At the summit, and at intervals on the slope, are specimens of massive old cannon facing out over the surrounding countryside. Also at the mid way, there is a cave entrance meant to confuse the enemies.
The fort had the following specialities which are listed along with their advantages :
No separate exit from the fort, only one entrance/exit - This is designed to confuse the enemy soldiers to drive deep into the fort in search of an exit, at their own peril.
No parallal gates - This is designed to break the momentum of theconfusing the invading army. Also, the flag mast is on the left hill, which the enemy will try to capitualte, thus will always turn left. But the real gates of the fort are on the right & the false ones on the left, thus confusing the enemy.
Spikes on the gates - In the era before gunpowder, intoxicated elephants were used as a battering ram to break open the gates. The presence of spikes ensured that the elephants died of injury.
Complex arrangement of entryways, curved walls, false doors - Designed to confuse the enemy, false, but well-designed gates on the left side lured the enemy soldiers in & trapped them inside, eventually feeding them to crocodiles.
The hill is shaped like a smooth tortoise back - this prevented the use of mountain lizards as climbers, because they cannot stick on it.
The site had been occupied since at least 100 BCE, and now has remains of Buddhist temples similar to those at Ajanta and Ellora.
The city is said to have been founded c. 1187 by Bhillama V, a Yadava prince who renounced his allegiance to the Chalukyas and established the power of the Yadava dynasty in the west. During the rule of the Yadava king Ramachandra, Alauddin Khalji of Delhi Sultanate raided Devagiri in 1296, forcing the Yadavas to pay a hefty tribute. When the tribute payments stopped, Alauddin sent a second expedition to Devagiri in 1308, forcing Ramachandra to become his vassal.
In 1328, Muhammad bin Tughluq of Delhi Sultanate transferred the capital of his kingdom to Devagiri, and renamed it Daulatabad. Some scholars ague that it the idea behind transfer of the capital was rational, because it lied more or less in the centre of the kingdom, and geographically secured the capital from the north-west frontier attacks.
In the Daulatabad fort, he found the area arid & dry. Hence he built a huge reservoir for water storage & connected it with a far-away river. He used siphon system to fill up the reservoir. However, his capital-shift strategy failed miserably due to lack of application & other factors. Hence he shifted back to Delhi & earned him the moniker "Mad King".
The next important event in the Daulatabad fort time-line was the construction of the Chand Minar by the Bahmani ruler Hasan Gangu Bahmani, also known as Ala-ud-Din Bahman Shah (r. 3 August 1347 – 11 February 1358).
Hasan Gangu built the Chand Minar as a replica of the Qutb Minar of Delhi, of which he was a great fan of. He employed Iranian architects to built the Minar who used Lapis Lazuli & Red Ochre for coloring. Currently, the Minar is out of bounds for the tourists, because of a suicide case.
As we move further into the fort, we can see the Chini Mahal, a VIP prison built by Aurangzeb. In this prison, he kept Abul Hasan Tana Shah of the Qutb Shahi Dynasty of Hyderabad. The antecedents of Abul Hasan Tana Shah, the last Qutub Shahi king are shrouded in mystery. Although a kinsman of the Golconda royals, he spent his formative years as a disciple of renowned Sufi saint Shah Raju Qattal, leading a spartan existence away from the pomp and grandeur of royalty. Shah Raziuddin Hussaini, popularly known as Shah Raju, was held in high esteem by both the nobility and commoners of Hyderabad. Abdullah Qutub Shah, the seventh king of Golconda was among his most ardent devotees. He died in prison leaving no male heir to the throne.
In this Chini Mahal, Sambhaji, son of Shivaji was kept.
Most of the present-day fortification was constructed under the Bahmanis and the Nizam Shahs of Ahmadnagar. The Mughal Governor of the Deccan under Shah Jahan, captured the fortress in 1632 and imprisoned the Nizam Shahi prince Husain Shah.
Monuments
The outer wall, 2.75 miles (4.43 km) in circumference, once enclosed the ancient city of Devagiri and between this and the base of the upper fort are three lines of defences.
Along with the fortifications, Devagiri contains several notable monuments, of which the chief are the Chand Minar and the Chini Mahal. The Chand Minar is a tower 210 ft (64 m). high and 70 ft (21 m). in circumference at the base, and was originally covered with beautiful Persian glazed tiles. It was erected in 1445 by Ala-ud-din Bahmani to commemorate his capture of the fort. The Chini Mahal (literally: China Palace), is the ruin of a building once of great beauty. In it Abul Hasan Tana Shah, the last of the Qutb Shahi kings of Golconda, was imprisoned by Aurangzeb in 1687.
Side (formerly Selimiye) is a city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. It includes the modern resort town and the ruins of the ancient city of Side, one of the best-known classical sites in the country. Modern Side is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Manavgat, Antalya Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 14,527 (2022).[2] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[3][4] It lies near Manavgat, 78 km from Antalya.[5]
It is located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, which lies about 20 km east of the mouth of the Eurymedon River. Today, as in antiquity, the ancient city is situated on a small north-south peninsula about 1 km long and 400 m across.
History
Pseudo-Scylax,[6] Strabo and Arrian[7] record that Side was founded by Greek settlers from Cyme in Aeolis, a region of western Anatolia. This most likely occurred in the 7th century BC. A basalt column base from the 7th century BC found in the excavations and attributable to the Neo-Hittites is evidence of the site's early history.
Possessing a good harbour for small craft, Side's natural geography made it one of the most important trade centres in the region.
Its tutelary deity was Athena, whose head adorned its coinage.
Excavations have revealed several inscriptions written in the language of Side. The inscriptions, dating from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, remain undeciphered, but testify that the local language was still in use several centuries after colonisation.
The ancient theatre
Alexander the Great occupied Side without a struggle in 333 BC. Alexander left only a single garrison behind to occupy the city. This occupation, in turn, introduced the people of Side to Hellenistic culture, which flourished from the 4th to the 1st century BC. After Alexander's death, Side fell under the control of one of Alexander's generals, Ptolemy I Soter, who declared himself king of Egypt in 305 BC. The Ptolemaic dynasty controlled Side until it was captured by the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BC. Yet, despite these occupations, Side managed to preserve some autonomy, grew prosperous, and became an important cultural centre.
In 190 BC a fleet from the Greek island city-state of Rhodes, supported by Rome and Pergamum, defeated the Seleucid King Antiochus the Great's fleet, which was under the command of the fugitive Carthaginian general Hannibal. The defeat of Hannibal and Antiochus the Great meant that Side freed itself from the overlord-ship of the Seleucid Empire.
Post-Seleucid Rule
Tetradrachm from Side, 201-190 BC, depicting winged Victory. Now in Palais de Rumine, Lausanne, Switzerland
The Treaty of Apamea (188 BC) forced Antiochus to abandon all European territories and to cede all of Asia Minor north of the Taurus Mountains to Pergamum. However, the dominion of Pergamum only reached de facto as far as Perga, leaving Eastern Pamphylia in a state of uncertain freedom. This led Attalus II Philadelphus to construct a new harbour in the city of Attalia (the present Antalya), although Side already possessed an important harbour of its own. Between 188 and 36 BC Side minted its own money, tetradrachms showing Nike and a laurel wreath (the sign of victory).
In the 1st century BC, Side reached a peak when the Cilician pirates established their chief naval base and a centre for their slave-trade.
Romans
The main street is lined with the ruins of homes or shops, many of which feature their original mosaic flooring
Hospital dating to the 6th century.
The consul Servilius Vatia defeated these brigands in 78 BC and later the Roman general Pompey in 67 BC, bringing Side under the control of Rome and beginning its second period of ascendancy, when it established and maintained a good working relationship with the Roman Empire.[8]
Emperor Augustus reformed the state administration and placed Pamphylia and Side in the Roman province of Galatia in 25 BC, after the short reign of Amyntas of Galatia between 36 and 25 BC. Side began another prosperous period as a commercial centre in Asia Minor through its trade in olive oil. Its population grew to 60,000 inhabitants. This period would last well into the 3rd century AD. Side also established itself as a slave-trading centre in the Mediterranean. Its large commercial fleet engaged in acts of piracy, while wealthy merchants paid for such tributes as public works, monuments, and competitions as well as the games and gladiator fights. Most of the extant ruins at Side date from this period of prosperity.
Side was the home of Eustathius of Antioch, of the philosopher Troilus, of the fifth-century ecclesiastical writer Philip; of the famous lawyer Tribonian.[9]
Decline
Side began a steady decline from the 4th century on. Even defensive walls could not stop successive invasions of highlanders from the Taurus Mountains. During the 5th and 6th centuries, Side experienced a revival, and became the seat of the Bishopric of Eastern Pamphylia. Arab fleets, nevertheless, raided and burned Side during the 7th century, contributing to its decline. The combination of earthquakes, Christian zealots and Arab raids, left the site abandoned by the 10th century, its citizens having emigrated to nearby Attalia.[8]
In the 12th century, Side temporarily established itself once more as a large city. An inscription found on the site of the former ancient city shows a considerable Jewish population in early Byzantine times. However, Side was abandoned again after being sacked. Its population moved to Attalia, and Side became known as Eski Adalia 'Old Antalya' and was buried.
Ecclesiastical history
As capital of the Roman province of Pamphylia Prima, Side was ecclesiastically the metropolitan see. The earliest known bishop was Epidaurus, presiding at the Synod of Ancyra, 314. Others are John, fourth century; Eustathius, 381; Amphilochius, 426-458, who played an important part in the history of the time; Conon, 536; Peter, 553; John, 680-692; Mark, 879; Theodore, 1027-1028; Anthimus, present at the synod held at Constantinople in 1054; John, then counsellor to the Emperor Michael VII Ducas, presided at a council on the worship of images, 1082; Theodosius and his successor Nicetas, twelfth century. John, present at a synod at Constantinople in 1156. The Notitiae Episcopatuum continued to mention Side as a metropolis of Pamphylia until the thirteenth century. It does not appear in the "Notitia" of Andronicus III. In 1397 the diocese was united with that of Attalia; in 1400 the Metropolitan of Perge and Attalia was at the same time the administrator of Side.[10][citation needed]
No longer a residential see, Side is today included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.[11]
Monuments and Site
The great ruins are among the most notable in Asia Minor. They cover a large promontory which a wall and a moat separate from the mainland. Archaeologists have been excavating Side since 1947 and intermittently continue to do so.[12]
The colossal theatre complex of the 2nd century is less well-preserved that of Aspendos, but it is almost as large, seating 15,000–20,000 people. It was converted into an open-air sanctuary with two chapels during Byzantine times (5th or 6th century).
The well-preserved city walls provide an entrance to the site through the Hellenistic main gate (Megale Pyle) from the 2nd century BC.
The colonnaded street had marble columns whose remains can be seen near the Roman baths, restored as a museum displaying statues and sarcophagi from the Roman period. The agora includes the remains of the round Tyche and Fortuna temple (2nd century BC), peripteral with twelve columns, in the centre. In later times it was used as a trading centre where pirates sold slaves.
The early Roman Temple of Dionysus is near the theatre. The fountain gracing the entrance is restored. At the left side is a Byzantine Basilica.[8]
Other buildings include three temples and a nymphaeum, a grotto or fountain building of elaborate design, and a synagogue which was discovered under a modern place of residence.[13]
Excavation teams also found an ancient Greek brothel. Wikipedia

City of Ballarat
Victorian Heritage Register Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Avenue of Honour (1917 - 1919) and Arch of Victory (1920) were erected as memorials to the people of the Ballarat and the surrounding district who enlisted in World War I. The Avenue of Honour consists of 3,771 trees planted at regular intervals of approximately 12 metres along 22km of the Ballarat-Burrumbeet Road. The Arch of Victory marks the beginning of the Avenue of Honour at its eastern end. The Avenue of Honour, with the Arch of Victory, was officially opened by the Prince of Wales on 3rd June 1920.
The planting of the Avenue commenced in June 1917 on the suggestion of Mrs W. D. Thompson, a director of clothing firm E. Lucas & Co, Ballarat, that an avenue of trees be planted in honour of the men and women of the district who had enlisted for service. The planting of one tree for each enlisted person began in June 1917 with funds of £2,000 raised by the 500 women employed in the factory, known as the 'Lucas girls'.The planting, carried out in eight phases over the next two years until its completion in June 1919. The planting, done by staff of the Lucas factory with the support of local farmers included 23 species of trees, mostly exotic deciduous species planted in single lines along either side of the road at regular spacings of 10 - 12 metres.Each species was usually planted in blocks of about 25 trees on either side of the road. The trees were numbered and allocated to individuals as close as possible to their order of enlistment, beginning at the Ballarat end. Plaques were originally attached to each timber tree guards giving the individual's name, the unit in which he or she enlisted and their number in the avenue. In 1934 these were replaced by permanent bronze plaques at the base of each tree, of which more than 80% are still in place.
Following cessation of hostilities in 1919 and completion of the avenue plantings, the 'Lucas Girls' led by Mrs W. D. Thompson began planning and fund raising of £2600 for a commemorative arch to provide an entrance to the Avenue of Honour. The Arch of Victory, designed by H.H. Smith, Head of the Art School at the School of Mines Ballarat, was a grand cement rendered masonry structure of a single central arch flanked by wide piers 20metres in width, spanning the roadway, and 18metres high. The arch, erected in 1920, is crowned by the 'Rising Sun' symbol of the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces beneath which the words Avenue of Honour and Victory are written prominently across the arch. In addition to the initial costs, for the Avenue of Honour and the Arch of Victory, a further £400 was donated by the public to a Maintenance Fund, with a returned soldier employed to attend to the trees.
During the First World War, the Avenue of Honour played a commemorative role and provided a stimulus for more people to enlist. Unlike other forms of memorials, avenues of honour and in particular the Ballarat Avenue required a high level of community participation in their creation which took place over a substantial period of time. Subsequently the Arch of Victory and Avenue of Honour became emblems of civic commitment to the war effort.
There have been a number of changes to the Avenue of Honour.Several of the original 23 species did not flourish and were replaced with species of Elms and Poplars which are the dominant genera of trees in the Avenue. In 1997, the Avenue consisted of 3,332 trees of forty different species and cultivars. Approximately half were found to be of fair to poor health and a management strategy developed, including the replanting of some trees.
In 1936 a memorial Cairn and Cross of Remembrance were erected at the Learmonth end of the Avenue where a tribute tree was also planted in 1959 in memory of Mrs W. D. Thompson. In 1938 a Memorial Rotunda was constructed 180m west of the Arch of Victory originally containing a 'Book of Remembrance' with the name of every person for whom a tree was planted, information now contained in a Roll of Honour on engraved metal sheets. In 1994 the avenue was cut by the Western Freeway Bypass, with the removal of sixteen trees which were replaced by trees in the freeway reserve.
The Arch of Victory remains intact but with the addition of memorial plaques in 1954 and 1987 to commemorate those who served from 1939-1945 and in the more recent conflicts in Korea, Borneo, Malaya and Vietnam. In 1993 the Arch of Victory Precinct, opened by Edward 'Weary' Dunlop, was created by the relocation of the 1938 Memorial Rotunda and Roll of Honour to the road reserve immediately south of the Arch and the construction of the adjacent Memorial Wall with 72 bronze plaques recording the names and tree numbers of service people honoured in the Avenue.
How is it significant?
The Avenue of Honour and Arch of Victory, Ballarat is of historic, architectural, aesthetic and social significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The Avenue of Honour is of historic significance as one of the earliest known and the longest example of this uniquely Australian form of memorial. Planting of memorial trees had been common during the Boer War but the Avenue of Honour at Ballarat was an early planting of an avenue of trees along a roadside as a memorial, setting a precedent which was soon followed by the planting of 91 other avenues in Victoria, principally in Central Victoria, between 1917 and 1920.
The Avenue of Honour is historically significant as representative of memorials that first appeared in Australia during World War I commemorating not just the dead but all those who enlisted for service in an egalitarian form where each individual, regardless of rank, was equally recognised for their service.
The Arch of Victory Precinct and Avenue of Honour, including the Memorial Cairn at the end of the Avenue, is historically significant as a collection of memorial types and structures that represent various forms of memorialisation in Victoria over the twentieth century.
The Arch of Victory is of architectural significance to State being an outstanding landscape monument, in the tradition of the Roman and Napoleonic victory arches erected across major routes or carriageways. It is the only memorial arch in Victoria constructed at such a grand scale. Other arches commemorating World War I such as at White Hills Botanic Gardens Bendigo (H1915), and in Murtoa were constructed as entrance gates to public gardens and have neither the size nor prominent location of the Arch of Victory. The association of the Arch of Victory with an Avenue of Honour is unique in Victoria.
The Avenue of Honour and Arch of Victory is aesthetically significant as an outstanding designed landscape and living memorial with the grand arch heralding the start of the roadside planting of more than 3300 trees over a length of 22 kilometres of roadway.
The Avenue of Honour and Arch of Victory is of social significance to the State of Victoria as a well recognised symbol of community endeavour and cooperation during war time. It is of social significance as being Victoria's best known war memorial with the exception of the Shrine of Remembrance. The significance of the Avenue of Honour and Arch of Victory to the Ballarat community, to the descendents of those commemorated by trees in the Avenue and to the Returned Services League is reflected in the continual use of the area for memorialisation over the course of the twentieth century culminating in the creation of the Arch of Victory precinct.

This monument includes an animal pound at the south west corner of All Saint's churchyard, on the village green. It is now used as a public rest area and garden.
The animal pound is a square walled enclosure, adjoining the churchyard to its east. It is entered by a gateway on the north side with one free-standing gatepost of rough schist. The pound walls of mortared schist rubble are 0.5m thick and stand up to 1.05m high.
A number of small holes on the west side have been opened out from recesses opening into the pound, measuring from 0.4m to 0.5m wide and set 0.6m from the ground. It is understood that these are rifle loops from the World War II, when the pound was adapted for use as a Home Guard post.
---
The term animal pound is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word `pund' meaning enclosure, and is used to describe stock-proof areas for confining stray or illegally pastured stock and legally-kept animals rounded up at certain times of the year from areas of common grazing.
The earliest documentary references to pounds date from the 12th century, and they continued to be constructed and used throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods. Most surviving examples are likely to be less than three centuries old, and most will have fallen into disuse in the late 19th or early 20th century.
Animal pounds are usually located in villages or towns though some lie in more open locations, particularly on the edge of old woodlands and commons.

I can only respond to flickrmail from my contacts, friends, those who comment on my photos or those with whom I am in regular contact.
One invite welcome-more, too many. I send my best wishes to you all.
From today's Rugby match at Buckingham Park, Shoreham. Shoreham 1st XV against Hove Volunteers. Shoreham, in yellow and green came back strongly to win in a thrilling and contentious finish. Let's just say that the Hove contingent weren't too impressed with some key refereeing decisions towards the end of the match.
St. Helens was established as a river port on the Columbia River in the 1840s. In 1853, the Pacific Mail Steamship Company tried to make the city their only stop on the Columbia River.[7] Portland's merchants boycotted this effort, and the San Francisco steamship Peytona helped break the impasse.[7]
St. Helens was incorporated as a city in 1889.[8]
The Lewis and Clark Expedition passed through and camped in the area that is now St. Helens on the night of November 5, 1805 while on their way to the Pacific Ocean. While here the party encountered Native Americans and Clark observed "low rockey clifts".[9]

I had home made brew here the night before with about 12 elder members of the village.
And the next morning no hang over what so ever, I only realized in the morning they have no chimney and the smoke from the fire is to smoke the corn in the roof. Some of the corn can be seen top middle of the image.
I like the image as it has many events in a week I shared with people.
The image has lots of detail like the bottle above the window. If you view on black your see small details of life in a village dwelling.

This is a photograph from the East of Ireland Marathon Series Marathon which was held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 2nd August 2014 at 09:00. There were 47 participants in the marathon which completed 8 loops of a 5KM route (and a additional 2KM) with Longwood GAA club acting as Race Headquarters, Start, Finish, and refreshments area. The weather was unseasonably wet for this time of year with rain for the entire duration of the race. However this didn't stop everyone enjoying the day. Thanks to the folks at Longwood GAA (particularly Barry Clarke and Vincent Byrne) who provided excellent hospitality and facilities for all participants. There was a great atmosphere at the race and everyone enjoyed another trip to the countryside for an EOIM. Hot showers and changing rooms were also available.
Despite the weather there were a few PBs and fast inidividual times. The course is a nice fast flat 5KM loop. It is used every year as the Longwood GAA 5KM Road Race. The marathon loop followed the reverse of the race route for safety reasons as the roads were fully opened for the EOIM event. There is a total elevation gain of 20ft and an elevation loss of 23ft. The sources of elevation gain are only very small rises on the road and aren't really noticeable. Part of the route includes a kilometer on a boreen which is nicely sheltered and with good road surface. The road surface is excellent for the entire route. The heavy rain from the previous 12 hours meant there were some puddles along the roads. Whilst Longwood is a rural venue it is easily accessible from all parts of Ireland due to it's close proximity to the N4 and the M4 Motorways.
We have an extensive set of photographs from today's event on the following Flickr Photoset Page: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157646066559286/

All courses are measured to full AAI standards and have a minimum of 10 Entrants. The marathons are self sufficent to a degree although there are limited supplies of water available on the day of the race. There will be no extra frills like chip timing and finish gantrys.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Every poster includes the exhibition and section titles, web address, acknowledgment of our funder-- the Nathan Cummings Foundation, and a summary caption. The images on the posters are all pulled from the exhibition and the caption presents a main idea related to each topic.
The posters are available on the online exhibition website in PDF format in both black and white as well as English and Spanish. There's even a large poster that you can print in tiles. everybody.si.edu/posters
