FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Completed in April 2012, the new Irwin Intermediate School at Fort Bragg opened just in time for the 2012-2013 school year. Construction on the $14.9 million, 112,025-square-foot facility began in 2010 and was managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District. The new school replaces the original Irwin building built in 1962. The school was formally dedicated with an opening ceremony on Sept. 27, 2012. It was named in memory of Lt. Gen. Stafford Leroy Irwin, who served as the post commander from 1946 to 1948. Located off of Normandy Drive, near Butler and Murray elementary schools, the new Irwin School serves 725 students in grades two through five. Amenities include art, music, and general purpose classrooms, computer labs, a playground, gymnasium, and multipurpose rooms with a stage and kitchen. Within the past few years, the Savannah District has completed more than $100 million in family support projects at Fort Bragg, including schools and child development centers. Between 2013 and 2020, another $90 million is budgeted for continued school development on Fort Bragg. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard, Sept. 12, 2012.

nrhp # 66000816- As much as any frontier army installation, Fort Richardson was responsible for the Anglo settlement in north central Texas. It was one installation in a system of forts along the Texas frontier to protect and encourage settlement in north central and west Texas. Other forts in the frontier fort system were Forts Griffin, Concho, Belknap, Chadbourne, Fort Stockton, Fort Davis, Fort Bliss, McKavett, Clark, Fort McIntosh, Fort Inge and Phantom Hill in Texas, and Fort Sill in Oklahoma.[4] There were "sub posts or intermediate stations" including Bothwick's Station on Salt Creek between Fort Richardson and Fort Belknap, Camp Wichita near Buffalo Springs between Fort Richardson and Red River Station, and Mountain Pass between Fort Concho and Fort Griffin.[5]
The original site selection was ordered for a location near Buffalo Springs in Clay County approximately 20 miles (32 km) north of Fort Richardson. The location proved untenable and unfit for the establishment of a semi-permanent installation. The area lacked timber, adequate water resources, and was still completely hostile territory, with Native Americans often wreaking havoc in the area. In 1862, the entire town of Henrietta, northwest of Buffalo Springs, was abandoned because of the lack of security. In short, the area was more than inhospitable. As a result, the Sixth United States Cavalry moved south to the present location of Fort Richardson.
In 1867, construction began by the Sixth Cavalry on the 300-acre (120 ha) site along "Lost Creek, a small tributary of the West Fork of the Trinity River",[6] at a cost of $800,000, and occupied on 26 November. It became the anchor of the frontier fort system, and the last army outpost in north Texas along the military road to Fort Sill. "Originally a five company post, it was expanded...to accommodate ten or more companies"[7] so that in 1872, with a population of 666 officers and men, it was listed as the largest U.S. Army installation in the United States.[8] The old-time cowboy author Frank H. Maynard spent time at Fort Richardson in 1872 while he had come to Jacksboro on a cattle drive.[9]
Units that occupied the fort included the 6th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Cavalry Regiment, and the U.S. 11th Infantry Regiment, along with elements of the 10th Cavalry Regiment and 24th Infantry Regiment (United States), both Buffalo Soldier regiments.[8]
Life was hard for a soldier at Fort Richardson, and routine duties included long, arduous patrols along the Texas frontier from Clay and Jack counties west to Palo Duro Canyon near present-day Amarillo. Battles with Comanche and Kiowa Indians became commonplace as the cavalry and infantry units sought to prove their ability to repel Indian attacks and allow settlement.
In 1871 while on a tour of the frontier fort system, General William T. Sherman stayed at Fort Richardson and narrowly missed the Warren Wagon Train Raid. Once General Sherman arrived at Fort Sill, he arrested Kiowa chiefs Satanta and Big Tree and had them sent to Jacksboro to stand trial for their role in the massacre. In July 1871, they were tried, convicted, and sentenced to death, which was later commuted to life in prison. They were the first Indians tried and convicted in the Texas civil court system.
Following these events, General Sherman authorized the commander of the Fourth Cavalry, Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie, to begin offensive operations against Comanches and Kiowas in the Texas Panhandle. One of these scouting parties fought the Battle of Palo Duro Canyon in September 1874, an absolute U.S victory that ended the Red River War with Quanah Parker's Comanches and Red Warbonnet's Kiowas. The cavalry captured so much of the tribes' provisions that they were forced to move back to the reservations in Oklahoma before winter. This battle and the total victory for MacKenzie's forces were largely responsible for the end to Comanche and Kiowa raiding along the Texas northern frontier.
Following this decisive victory, the army no longer saw a need to maintain Fort Richardson and abandoned the post in May 23, 1878.[10] "It was used as an Indian school for a short time afterwards".[11] The 55 buildings, many made of stone and cottonwood lumber, fell into disrepair. Thanks to an intrepid group of Jacksboro residents, the fort was declared a state historic site in 1963 and came under the management of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. In 1968 extensive renovations began and in 1973, the fort reopened as the Fort Richardson State Historic Park.

The Orrville local approaches the Pennsylvania Railroad-style position light signals west of town at Back Orrville Road. This is the former Chicago-Pittsburgh main route of the PRR, which now sees a much lower level of traffic than it did during PRR, Penn Central or even Conrail days.
Pretending to be a team of contractors preparing to build an alarm, fourth graders in Mr. Leidy’s science class evaluated the design plans created by fellow student electrical engineers. Students first had to design and build a parallel circuit and custom switch to activate an alarm system complete with a buzzer and light.
This project is a part of the fourth grade electrical engineering STEM unit. At the conclusion of the project, students evaluated their classmates' technology by responding to a variety of writing prompts.

INFO:
In the late 19th Century, London & North Western Railway opened a line linking Huddersfield and Leeds through the Spen Valley, via Heckmondwike, Liversedge and Cleckheaton. It ran parallel to the LYR's Dewsbury-Bradford route, and included station at all the sane intermediate towns. Stations on this line all included Spen' on their name to separate them from the LYR counterparts, which carried the name 'Central'.
Heckmondwike Spen itself was a hectic engineering task, with the line having to cut underneath the town centre via nine bridges and two short tunnels - the station was built halfway along this section. The stations at Liversedge and Cleckheaton meanwhile were mounted high on bankings - the latter even including a huge pedestrian viaduct connecting it with the town
The LNWR route - also known as the Leeds New Line - never took off with passengers although it was a huge advantage for textile transportation between the West Riding's mill towns and with a more direct route between Huddersfield and Leeds available via the Dewsbury and Morley corridor, the writing was inevitably on the wall. The passenger service perished in 1953, with the LYR Bradford route's following suit fourteen years after. Goods services continued, with a connecting spur being built between the two lines at Heckmondwike but these came to an end in the early 1990s.
The lines were lifted in parts between 1995 and 2001.
The LNWR corridor has since received the same treatment between Heckmondwike and Liversedge and is known as the Spen Valley Ringway. The route splinters from the Greenway southwest of Heckmondwike centre uphill via a path. Following the LNWR line turns off right under a road overbridge, and enters a large wide cutting before passing through bridges and a short tunnel where at time of writing the path has not yet been laid and the tunnel retains plain ballast. The route feeds into the site of Heckmondwike Spen station - now occupied by a private residential road called Old Station Close before resuming at the other end. The cutting here has to be seen to believed as the all-weather path passes through five stone overbridges and a short tunnel in a half -mile cutting underneath the town. After a further bridge beneath Cook Lane the line cruises through the suburban countryside. Liversedge Spen station is gone but can be identified by a filled station entrance at street level on Listing Lane. The route is severed a further half mile on by residential areas and parkland although the path continues onward to Cleckheaton where a miniature railway (I kid you not). occupies the trackbed. The trackbed is occupied by farmland at this point up to near Spen Bank, where a high embankment carries the old line above the town. Like the rest, Heckmondwike Spen Station has long been history but the huge 450ft pedestrian viaduct still survives as a public right of way. A former shed still survives on the station site, now part of a recycling works.

The process of making a Tanjore painting involves many stages. The first stage involves the making of the preliminary sketch of the image on the base. The base consists of a cloth pasted over a wooden base. Then chalk powder or zinc oxide is mixed with water-soluble adhesive and applied on the base. To make the base smoother, a mild abrasive is sometimes used. After the drawing is made, decoration of the jewellery and the apparels in the image is done with semi-precious stones also known as Jaipur stones. Laces or threads are also used to decorate the jewellery. On top of this, the gold foils are pasted. Finally, dyes are used to add colors to the figures in the paintings.
Bombardier class 720 Aventra EMU 720 571 is seen in platform 10 at Stratford with a Greater Anglia semi-fast service to Romford, Chelmsford, Colchester and Clacton on the late morning of Tuesday 8th February 2022. After Colchester this Greater Anglia train service will call at all the intermediate stations down to Thorpe-le-Soken and Clacton-on-Sea, a legacy from the British Rail Eastern Region days of old when the fleet of iconic BR class 309 slam-door EMUs dating from 1962/63 operated this service prior to the units' transfer to Regional Railways for use on the former express service from Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport from 1994 to 2000.

Detail from the statue that represents a nomarch, whose duties were administrative, judicial, military and religious. During the First Intermediate Period, the nomarchs became so powerful that they won independence from the pharaoh and the aristocracy. The statue was made paying much attention to even the smallest details. However, there are still visible signs of scratches made when the eyes, probably precious stones, were forcibly removed from the face.
First Intermediate Period, no provenance.

With occasional intermediate stops.
He is so cute when he lifts his ears
And looks around to see what he hears."
