"Books invite all They constrain none", on the library of the former Banning High School.
The building is a striking example of architectural detail in the former Banning High School, now Nicolet Middle School. To me the texts, the font used in the text, and the complex detail around the doors suggest the PWA Moderne style of the New Deal, a variation on streamline moderne. A source in Banning has told me that the buildings are WPA. Additional documentation forthcoming.

Fort Bakkerskil ligt tussen Nieuwendijk en Werkendam. Vanaf voorjaar 2012 bent u welkom in een comfortabele Bed & Breakfast, die plaats biedt aan zo’n 30 gasten. Ook heeft Bakkerskil een koffie- en theeterras en is het hele jaar geopend.
Historie
Werk aan de Bakkerskil is gebouwd in de jaren 1877-1879 en kwam in de plaats van een meer zuidelijk gelegen batterij uit 1847. Het ligt op de Schenkeldijk ten zuidoosten van Werkendam en diende ter afsluiting van deze dijk en ook ter bescherming van de Papsluis, een recent gerestaureerde inundatiewaaiersluis uit 1815. Deze waaiersluis was een hoofdinlaatmiddel van het inundatieveld in het Land van Altena. De sluis ligt op 250 meter voor het werk in de Groenendijk. Op het werk bevindt zich een bomvrije kazerne, verbonden met remises op walganghoogte.
Op de geëgaliseerde wallen zijn in de jaren zestig vier loodsen gebouwd voor het mobilisatiecomplex. De brug in de keel is vervangen door een dam.

It proves that Tameka Tiny Cottle plastic surgery is truth, not just a rumor. What other changes occurred in her body, you can check bellow.
For some reason, when I was emptying the trash last night Lucille freaked out and dove into the bathroom garbage can. She proceeded to try and wedge herself down into the bottom and was scratching at something even though the can was completely empty. She flailed around for the longest time and I thought maybe she was stuck upside down, but she'd get herself out, only to dive right back in. She's a bit crazy.

Little is known of the origins of the Church of St Martin, but it dates back at least to the Middle Ages. Christianity was brought here by people such as St David at Llanthony, and St Issui at Partrishow. It is more than likely that there was a church at Cwmyoy before the Norman Conquest.
The present church is dedicated to St Martin of Tours, which is not a common dedication in Monmouthshire. There was an ancient chapel at Bwlch Trewyn also bearing the dedication to St Martin. All traces of this chapel have disappeared. Both these churches would have been on the Pilgrim route to St David's in Pembrokeshire. In medieval times, two pilgrimages to St David's were considered the equivalent of one pilgrimage to Rome - an indication of how rough and hazardous travelling was at that time.
After the Norman Conquest the church came under the jurisdiction of Llanthony Priory which was founded in 1100 AD. The Manor of Cwmyoy was conferred to the Priory by Hugh de Lacy, son of the founder of the Priory, William de Lacy.
On 8th June 1538, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Llanthony Priory, together with all the manors and churches under its control were given to Sir Nicholas Arnold, the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland.
During the monastic days, Cwmyoy was served by monks sent out by the Prior. After the dissolution, curates were appointed, but the names of those serving in the 17th century have never been recorded.
During the 18th century Cwmyoy became a perpetual curacy. Finally in 1830 it became a Vicarage, being formally joined to Llanthony. This was a formal recognition of an existing arrangement, since the curates had always shared both benefices.
To bring the record up to date, the two parishes of Cwmyoy and Llanthony became part of a larger grouping in 1969 when these parishes came together with Llanfihangel Crucorney and Oldcastle; in the 1990s Oldcastle church was closed, and the three remaining parishes joined to become the united parish of Llanfihangel Crucorney.
The name Cwmyoy - a phonetic spelling of the Monmouthshire pronunciation of "cwm lau" - means "valley (cwm) of the yoke (lau)" in reference to the curved shape of the valley near the church cutting deep into Hatterrall Hill behind (along which runs part of the long-distance trail, Offa's Dyke Path).
The Church of St Martin is probably unique. No part of it is square or at right angles with any other part. This striking irregularity is accounted for by the geology of the underlying rock. The shifting subsoil has caused the church to move, tilting to the north at the tower end and to the south, forward of the small window at the west end of the north wall. If you look towards the altar from inside the tower, you will see that the tower arch tilts to the left, and the chancel arch and east window tilt markedly to the right.
The tower itself, at the NW corner, leans 5.2 degrees out of perpendicular. The two large buttresses to support it were built in the 1960s.
The interior of the church is simple: it has a nave, chancel, tower and porch, and dates mainly from the 13th to 16th centuries. The remains of a stair in the chancel would have led to a rood loft (probably destroyed during the Reformation).
The church was restored in 1887, when the plaster ceiling of the nave was removed, and it is possible that moulded plaster decorations set in the porch wall are remnants of the ceiling.
There are interesting wall memorials, many of which are by members of the Bute family who carved many memorials in and around the churches of the Black Mountains.
The medieval cross in the centre of the church was dug up in 1861 at the nearby farm, and placed in the church in 1935. An unusual feature is the mitre with three crosses on the head of Christ. The chamfered edges indicate it is post-Conquest.
The simple font is medieval, the pulpit is 19th century.

This is a photograph from the finish of the Castlepollard 5KM Road Race and Fun Run 2022, which was held in Castlepollard, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 17th August 2022 at 19:30. This photograph was taken at the 200m to go mark. The race is promoted and hosted by North Westmeath Athletic Club. The race returned to normality this year after being one of the few road races in summer 2021 which was organised in limited capacity format. The weather was very suitable for racing with clear skies and warm air without any real breeze to speak of. The race begins near the center of the town square and proceeds directly out the R395 towards Coole and Edgeworthstown. The first KM is flat and quick allowing the field to spread out. The race then enters the Tullynally Castle estate and proceeds up the tree-lined avenue. Underfoot conditions are good on well maintained tarmacadam roads. The gardens, like the castle are on a grand scale, taking in nearly 12 acres. This allows the race to make a big loop of the gardens with a quick downhill stretch followed by a sharp climb (passing the Castle) before the race rejoins its outgoing path for the final 1.5KM of the race. The final 1100M from the archway gate of the Castle grounds to the finish is as the first - fast and flat and allows for a great finish passing the GAA grounds with finish line just outside the local Fire Station. Refreshments and prize giving were held in McCormack's pub at the start line in the square.

Baisakhi is one of the major festivals of Sikhs and is celebrated with lot of enthusiasm and gaiety in the state of Punjab and all throughout the world where there is a significant Sikh population.
For the large farming community of Punjab, Baisakhi Festival marks the time for harvest of rabbi crops and they celebrate the day by performing joyful bhangra and gidda dance. For the Sikh community, Baisakhi Festival has tremendous religious significance as it was on a Baisakhi Day in 1699, that Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru laid the foundation of Panth Khalsa-the Order of the Pure Ones.
As the festival has tremendous importance in Sikh religion, major activities of the day are organized in Gurudwara.
After getting ready people pay a visit to their neighbourhood Gurudwara and take part in the special prayer meeting organized for the day. At the end of the Baisakhi ardas, congregates receive specially prepared Kara Prasad or sweetened semolina. This is followed by a guru ka Langar or community lunch.
Nagar Kirtan is a Punjabi term which literally means “neighborhood Kirtan”. Nagar means village or neighborhood and Kirtan is a term describing the singing of Shabads (Divine Hymns).It signifies the procession of Sikh Sangat or Congregation through the village singing Holy hymns.
The concept of Nagar Kirtan is to bring the message of God to the doorstep of the community. This is common in areas where the Sikh communities reside during the month of Vaisakhi.
The procession is led by the Panj Piare (five beloved of the Guru) followed by a float that carries the Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
On the float they are several Sewadars (volunteers) performing Kirtan and attending to the Guru.
The 2015 South West Nagar Kirtan procession started from the St George Sikh Gurudwara, where the Right Honorable Lord Mayor of Bristol Cllr. Clare Campion-Smith addressed the congregation before the start of the procession. Also in attendance were, Chief constable, cllr Chaz Singh of Plymouth amongst many other dignitaries.
The procession stopped at the Summer Hill Gurudwara, Fishponds, and Chelsea Road before finally returning to St George.
Procession organisers included Mohan Singh and Muktiyaar Singh of Fishponds Gurudwara. Refreshments and snacks were served to all communities along the six hour route by families of the community.

They're a pretty rad crew of guys. Hopefully this spring we'll be able to take some more photos and maybe I'll get to hear some more of their music.
The Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) is a medium-sized sea duck of the genus Bucephala, the goldeneyes. Their closest relative is the similar Barrow's Goldeneye.
Adult males ranges from 45–52 cm (18–21 inches) and from 888 to 1400 grams (1.9 to 3.1 lbs), while females range from 40–50 cm (16–20 inches) and from 500 to 1182 grams (1.1 to 2.6 lbs). The species is aptly named for its golden-yellow eye. Adult males have a dark head with a greenish gloss and a circular white patch below the eye, a dark back and a white neck and belly. Adult females have a brown head and a mostly grey body. Their legs and feet are orange-yellow.
Their breeding habitat is the taiga. They are found in the lakes and rivers of boreal forests across Canada and the northern United States, Scandinavia and northern Russia. They are migratory and most winter in protected coastal waters or open inland waters at more temperate latitudes. Naturally, they nest in cavities in large trees. They will readily use nestboxes, and this has enabled a healthy breeding population to establish in Scotland where they are increasing and slowly spreading with the help of nestboxes. They are usually quite common in winter around lakes of Britain and some are being encouraged to nest in nestboxes which are put up to try to have them there all year round. Occasionally recorded as a vagrant in various parts of the Indian Subcontinent.
Often the natural tree cavities are made by broken limbs, unless they are made by Pileated Woodpeckers or Black Woodpeckers, the only tree-cavity-making animals who make a cavity large enough to normally accommodate a goldeneye. Average egg size is a breadth of 43.3 mm (1.7 inches), a length of 59.3 mm (2.3 inches) and a weight of 64 grams (2.3 oz). The incubation period ranges from 28 to 32 days. The female does all the incubating and is abandoned by the male about 1 to 2 weeks into incubation. The young remain in the nest for about 24–36 hours. Brood parasitism is quite common both with other Common Goldeneyes as well as other duck species and even Tree Swallow and European Starling eggs have been found mixed with goldeneye eggs! The broods commonly start to mix with other females' broods as they become more independent. Goldeneye young have been known to be competitively killed by other goldeneye mothers, Common Loons and Red-necked Grebes. The young are capable of flight at 55–65 days of age.
These diving birds forage underwater. Year-round, about 32% of their prey is crustaceans, 28% is aquatic insects and 10% is molluscs. Insects are the predominant prey while nesting and crustaceans are the predominant prey during migration and winter. Locally, fish eggs and aquatic plants can be important foods. They themselves may fall prey to various hawks, owls and eagles, while females and their broods have been preyed upon by bears (Ursus spp.), various weasels (Mustela spp.), mink (Mustela vison), raccoons (Procyon lotor) and even Northern Flickers (Colaptes auratus) and red squirrels (Tamiasciurus husonicus).
The Common Goldeneye is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
Approximately 188 300 Common Goldeneyes were killed by duck hunters in North America during the 1970s, representing about 4% of the total number of ducks killed in the region during that period[citation needed]. The rate is probably similar today. Both the breeding and winter habitat of these birds has been degraded by clearance and pollution. However, this is the only duck in North America known to derive short-term benefits from lake acidification

Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to throw metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet or jack. The game is normally played on hard dirt or gravel, but can also be played on grass, sand or other surfaces.
The nearest UK equivalent is crown green bowls, where the boules are rolled rather than thrown.
Founded (and most commonly played) in France, pétanque is also popular throughout many parts of Spain. This organised game was taking place in the coastal Costa Blancan town of El Campello, near to Alicante.

Dr. Anurag Batra is a serial Entrepreneur and mentor to many successful entrepreneurs. He also an author, TV show host and an angel investor and the founder of the iconic exchange4media group and chairman BW Businessworld group. According to him, India needs more sportsmanship. As Indians we do not support failure, we only celebrate success and the beauty about sports is that it helps you celebrate failure.
Addressing India's sports Congress held 6 years ago, Anurag Batra the chairman of BW Businessworld stressed 2 things. One is the fact, that he believes that India has been media core. It’s a debatable topic and one can either agree or disagree with his statement. It’s because India does not have a sports culture. According to Anurag Batra, India’s media core is everything. India hasn’t produced a lifesaving drug or we haven’t done an invention that changes life. We are doing the Flipkart for the world which is great but they are cheap imitations of what happens in the West and he believes the reason we haven’t got a product or service that is world-class out of India, in the way Silicon Valley does it, is because we do not have a sports culture.
As Indians we do not support failure, we only celebrate success and the beauty about sports is that it helps you celebrate failure. Because there is nothing like a failure, there’s another game tomorrow. you can extend like that so there is no failure. He thinks sports as a culture glue, as a game-changer in the real sense of the nation’s destiny can play a big role. And he is particularly happy that BW has been doing conferences like this in exchange for media for the last 10 years and we’ve been talking about how non-cricket sports should come to the forefront. when this conference is conducted in the last 3 years, for the first time we can say that non-cricket sports are finally coming to the Fort. He means tomorrow we are the protesting league starting who imagine 5 years back there. Be it a pro wrestling league and you know every possible sport is getting more attention more money and more mind space which occurs well for this country.
Anurag Batra has 2 young children and if there is a choice on their career, he would want them to be sportspeople for the reason that I told him explained above. He also mentioned the event conducted by his team may act as a catalyst to the development of sports in the country.
Chairman of BW Businessworld Mr Anurag Batra believes India is struggling to get one of the top positions. Being a developing nation from more than 5 decades, India is still on the path of development. He concluded by saying we should worship sports as a religion, study as a science and play with enthusiasm as it accepts failures and encourages and inspires to win the next.
This is a photograph from 8.5KM mark (and finish area) of both of the races in the 9th annual Longwood Village 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were held in Longwood Village, Longwood, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 21st October 2018 at 11:00. The races are held annually to support the development of the local GAA club while also supporting local charities. The race has support from Trim AC which sees the race have full AAI premit status. These races have grown steadily over the years and this year again almost 400 participants to part in the two races. This is an impressive statistic given that a very large number of local runners will be preparing for the Dublin City marathon 7 days from now. However both races provide marathon runners and all other runners, joggers and walkers with an ideal opportunity to race on a very fair course in a beautiful rural setting. Barry Clarke of Longwood GAA and Trim AC and his very large group of volunteers deserve the highest of praise for the very high standard of organisation immediately apparent to anyone taking part in the race. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and as before it gets better year on year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants each year. The weather in the week leading up to the race was almost ideal for racing but Sunday morning seen some more breezy and wet conditions taking hold for the race, despite high temperatures for this time of year around 12 or 13c.
We have an extensive set of photographs from all of the races today in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157702660163805

Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway.
5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Dargan's Pub and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for curling hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear
Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown
Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell
Is there a time for first communion
A time for East Seventeen
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen
Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown
Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare
and in love i don't know how to hope anymore
and for that love i don't know how to wait anymore
Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze

Mariposa Grove is a sequoia grove located near Wawona, California, USA, in the southernmost part of Yosemite National Park, It is the largest grove of Giant Sequoias in the park, with several hundred mature examples of the tree. Two of its trees are among the 25 largest Giant Sequoias in the world.
The Mariposa Grove was first visited by non-natives in 1857 when Galen Clark and Milton Mann found it.They named the grove after Mariposa County, California, where the grove resides.
The Giant Sequoia named Grizzly Giant is between probably 1900-2400 years old: the oldest tree in the grove.In 1932, it was claimed to be the fifth largest (by volume) tree in the world, but other trees were subsequently found to be larger; it currently has a volume of 34,010 cubic feet (963 m3), only the 25th largest. It is 210 feet (64 m) tall, and has a heavily buttressed base with a basal circumference of 28 m (92 ft) or a diameter of 30 feet (9.1 m); above the buttresses at 2.4 m above ground, the circumference is only 23 m. Grizzly Giant's first branch from its base is itself 2 m (6 ft) in diameter.
Another tree, the Wawona Tree, had a tunnel wide enough for horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles to drive through, cut through it in the nineteenth century. Weakened by this large opening at its base, the tree fell down in 1969.
Abraham Lincoln signed an Act of Congress on June 30, 1864 ceding the "Mariposa Big Tree Grove" (and Yosemite Valley) to the state of California; criticism of the stewardship over the land led to the state returning the grove to federal control upon establishment of Yosemite National Park.
The Mariposa Grove Museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Photography is an Hobby I picked up with my friends who at the time were students of the Doc at a well known med school.
Doc was one of their faculty my friends have a special bond to and have seen my best friend follow his footsteps in selecting his specialisation for his post-grad
