Oregon is among the largest states in the U.S. at 96,000 sq. miles. It has a population of four million residents with half of the Oregonians living in the Portland Metropolitan Area and another million or so in four other large cities. Oregon is roughly divided vertically into five distinct regions: Pacific Coast, coastal range of mountains, western valleys, Cascade Mountain Range and the high desert country of Eastern Oregon. Along with the timber industry, agriculture has been the main economic endeavors in Oregon since pioneers followed the Lewis and Clark expedition that blazed the trail of what would become known as the Oregon Trail. Agriculture is quite diverse in the five regions mentioned above. In recent decades, the planting of grape vineyards has seen a flourishinng wine market. Most recently, the legalization of Marijuana has brought about major production of some of the finest Cannabis found anywhere in the world (yeah, I inhaled.) These photos (along with many more to follow) illustrate the rich heritage of farms and farming in the Beaver State known as Oregon.

Operation AVRO is a forcewide initiative that delivers a surge of extra resources and specialist officers to a different district within Greater Manchester each month.
This month saw the operation return to the City Of Manchester Division for the third time.
The operation targets crimes that members of the public in that district have told us give them the most concern.
Members of the press and key partners, including local representatives, are invited to attend Operation AVRO deployments to see results first-hand and conduct important multi-agency work, such as welfare visits.
More details on AVRO can be found by visiting gmp.police.uk and following us on social media.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

This is the only stave church remaining in Vestfold and built in two phases. The first part was built around 1150, in the Roman style, with the second phase following approximately 100 years later and built in the Gothic style.
It is is one of only three preserved stave churches having a stave or pillar in the middle of the church.
The church has 12 different staves symbolising the apostles, in addition to the one in the middle, which symbolises Christ, all of which serve to support the building. Each stave is unique among the others. Along the walls one can see 8-10 crosses which were dedicated at the time the church was first used.
Originally, the church had an earthen floor, with benches along the walls where old and weak people might sit. Others had to remain standing during the mass.
The altar dates from around 1630.
The church was restored in 1948. Under the floor, 5 well preserved skeletons were found without coffins and just a thin layer of dirt over them. A man, two women and two children. They were left in place. It is believed they were victims of the Black death around 1349.

This is a photograph from the third annual running of the Killyon National School 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held at Hill-of-Down, Clonard, Co. Meath, Ireland at 11:00 on Sunday 19th June 2016. The race is held as a fundraiser for the local primary school. Killyon is actually a parish rather than a town or village. With that the race started and finished at the well known Hill-of-Down where the Royal Canal and Dublin Sligo rail line run parallel and cross under the Kinnegad (Westmeath) to Trim (Meath) road. The 5KM route took in a final KM on the beautiful towpath of the Royal canal and finished outside Moran's Pub beside the Canal. Overall the race was very well organised with excellent stewarding and organisation. There was a great spread of refreshments afterwards. However the mild summer temperatures were ruined by persistent heavy rain for the duration of the race which dampened things a little. The race took place on Father's Day and attracted very good local support from the surrounding areas with local runners, joggers and walkers in attendance.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the start and finish of the race at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157669442251041
Photographs from 2015's race are also on our Flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157654448993629

Our only "cost" is that we request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, VK.com, Vine, Meetup, Tagged, Ask.fm,etc or (2) other websites, blogs, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you must provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us or acknowledge us as the original photographers.

I want to download these pictures to my computer or device?
You can download this photographic image here directly to your computer or device. This version is the low resolution web-quality image. How to download will vary slight from device to device and from browser to browser. Have a look for a down-arrow symbol or the link to 'View/Download' all sizes. When you click on either of these you will be presented with the option to download the image. Remember just doing a right-click and "save target as" will not work on Flickr.
I want get full resolution, print-quality, copies of these photographs?
If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.

Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

This is a closeup of the smallest group of the USAF 1951 test pattern.
This is using a 10x objective, which appears to have a 1.8mm field of view.
The camera resolution is 5184x3456, so we are getting a nominal 2880 pixels per mm.
If those were real information it would mean about 2.8 pixels per micron.
The resolving power of light microscopy is something like 200-250 nanometers, or 4-5 pixels per micron.
I assume that we are not really approaching the resolving power of light, which would imply
that an 18 megapixel camera shooting at 10x capturing 2.8 pixels per micron is probably limited by the optical path, not the sensor quality.

Protaras is a predominantly tourist resort which comes under the administrative jurisdiction of Paralimni Municipality in Cyprus. In ancient times, where Protaras is now located, stood the old city-state of Leukolla. The city possessed a small safe harbour where the Athenian Demetrius Poliorketes sought refuge in the year 306 BC, lying in wait for Ptolemeos, one of the successors of Alexander the Great.

There is not that much to say about this 'Kit' camera and lens that you do not already know as both items are very well known.
One thing - I think you might like about, this camera is the Shutter Count of 614 really thats a the true shutter count.
I look on Ebay quite a lot and it still amazes me that sellers fail to quote the shutter count in their listing, so "if" you look on Ebay ensure you see the shutter count of the camera and if you don't then ask for it.
The firmware in this D40 is A 1.12 & B 1.11.
You can still download the manual for this camera online, it has 126 pages.
Ken Rockwell has a "User Guide" on his website for the D 40.
Hope this may have helped you?

Ara is a Tupi (Brazilian) Indian word which is a component of various bird names such as ararauna, a macaw, aratica, a hummingbird, and araracanga, a parrot. ambigua means doubtful or uncertain and is usually a reference to status as a distinct species or uncertain systematic position. This bird likes the canopy of humid lowland forest which is where this one was photographed along with several others, in the high canopy at La Selva biological station, Costa Rica. These birds range widely tracking the fruit of the Dipteryx. Alexander Skutch in his 1989 book 'A Guide to the Birds of Costa Rica' listed them as widespread but increasingly scarce. In 2000 it was estimated that there were only 30 or 35 pairs left in Costa Rica due to deforestation and illegal pet trade. In Costa Rica, the mountain almond is logged as a valuable tropical hardwood used for flooring and truck beds; this tree provides vital food and shelter for the great green macaw and its removal has had devastating consequences to the species. We were probably looking at about 10% of Costa Ricas entire population of these birds and it was a sight not often seen by our guide.
Memorial Day Ceremony is the annual event held to honor and pay tribute to the men and women of the armed forces, "who gave their all."
The Tidewater Veterans Memorial stands in tribute to veterans of all wars and current military personnel. Six years under design and construction, it was completed in 1988 and has received awards for design and public art. The memorial is located on 19th Street across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center. The Veterans Memorial Park, dedicated to those service members who honorably served their country, is behind the memorial.

One of the most insidious and pernicious myths perpetuated by campus rape culture is that women are not thinking, feeling subjects but in fact merely objects of attraction, fascination, and exploitation. This TEDxSalon, held during Social Justice Week, will explore how inclusive feminism has demanded (and continues to demand) dignity and respect for all persons, how feminist scholarship and pedagogy has worked to combat rape culture in higher education, and how theory can engage practice in the classroom and beyond. As a Salon, we will watch several videos that address the impact of rape in a global context, in relationship to masculinity and rape culture, and as an intersectional phenomenon. Participants will then collaborate on developing possible models to compassionately address gender violence at UW-L. Participants should be aware that the videos, presentation and conversation all contain potentially triggering elements.

Christchurch is a borough and town in the county of Dorset on the south coast of England. The town adjoins Bournemouth in the west and the New Forest lies to the east. Historically within Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974 and is the most easterly borough in the county. It covers an area of 19.5 square miles and has a population of about 45,000, making it the fourth most populous town in the county.
The story of Christchurch Priory goes back to at least the middle of the 11th century, as Domesday says there was a priory of 24 secular canons here in the reign of Edward the Confessor. The Priory is on the site of an earlier church dating from 800 AD. In 1094 a chief minister of William II, Ranulf Flambard, then Dean of Twynham, began the building of a church. Local legend has it that Flambard originally intended the church to be built on top of nearby St. Catherines Hill but, during the night, all the building materials were mysteriously transported to the site of the present priory. Although in 1099 Flambard was appointed Bishop of Durham, work continued under his successors, and by about 1150 there was a basic Norman church consisting of a nave, a central tower and a quire extending eastwards from the crossing. It was during this period that another legend originated, that of the miraculous beam, which was to change the name of the town from Twynham to the present day Christchurch.
Christchurch Quay, from the quay you can find a ferry called Wick Ferry,that will take you over to Hengistbury Head, also a little further along the Quay there is a ferry boat that will take you across the river to the pretty village of Wick or even onto the Tuckton tearooms. This ferry started around 1880 by Eli Miller, and only cost then, a halfpenny to cross the river. Christchurch was founded in the 7th century at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour which flow into Christchurch Harbour. The town was originally named Twynham but became known as Christchurch following the construction of the priory in 1094. The town developed into an important trading port and was fortified in the 9th century. Further defences were added in the 12th century with the construction of a castle which was destroyed by the Parliamentarian Army during the English Civil War. During the 18th and 19th centuries smuggling flourished in Christchurch and became one of the town's most lucrative industries. The town was heavily fortified during Second World War as a precaution against an expected invasion and in 1940 a Airspeed factory was established on the town's airfield which manufactured aircraft for the Royal Air Force.
The castle is believed to stand on the site of an earlier wooden fort built in 924 AD following the capture of the town ramparts in 901 AD by Aethelwold King of Wessex and subsequently fortified with a motte by Edward the Elder. After the Norman conquest of 1066 the castle's defences were strengthened by the addition of a ditch and bailey surrounded by a wooden pallisade, sometimes called a stakewall or a paling—is typically a fence or wall made from wooden stakes or tree trunks and used as a defensive structure or enclosure. A great tower was built probably around 1300. The castle again saw action during the Civil War of 1642 to 1651. The Parliamentarians were allowed to take control of the castle in 1644. The Royalists laid siege to it for 3 days, demolishing houses on the corner of Church Street and Castle Street in order to site their cannons. The Royalists were unable to take the castle and Cromwell fearing such a powerful stronghold, ordered it to be slighted in 1652. The castle is now in ruins; a couple of the keep walls remain and the remains of a rectangular moat.

Tra la moltitudine di città interessate da questo nuovo percorso fotografico,emerge un prezioso itinerario che collega le diverse città in cui Guglielmo Marconi ha vissuto la sua vita.
Un nuovo viaggio fotografico, tra cui immagini che rendono omaggio al grande inventore italiano Guglielmo Marconi, padre della radio e Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1909. Bolognese di nascita, Marconi passò molto del suo tempo nella sua casa di Cattolica. Chissà cosa penserebbe oggi, affacciato alla finestra di Villa Marconi, delle persone in spiaggia collegate a internet con computer e cellulari wireless, persone in contatto con il mondo ventiquattro ore al giorno. Su quella stessa spiaggia dove lui ha passeggiato e guardato il mare immerso nei suoi pensieri e nei suoi esperimenti. Forse tutta questa comunicazione l’avrebbe fatto sorridere, lui che fu il padre della comunicazione con telegrafia senza fili. Di una cosa però siamo sicuri, sicuramente affacciato alla finestra della sua camera, avrebbe rivolto lo sguardo all’Adriatico e avrebbe atteso uno di quei meravigliosi tramonti di Cattolica, in cui il sole diventa una palla di fuoco che scompare lentamente all’orizzonte. Uno spettacolo di colori che soltanto Lei può regalare. Attimi, si prefigge l’obiettivo di raccontare attraverso un percorso di immagini e racconti, il legame che la città romagnola conserva con il suo illustre personaggio. testo di Alessandra Fabri

Con questo nuovo libro fotografico prosegue il progetto “Amando Cattolica” e con la VI Edizione, dal titolo “Attimi, EMOZIONI NEL TEMPO INFINITO…sulle tracce di Guglielmo Marconi”, Antonio Barbieri è , ancora una volta, riuscito a catturare, nelle sue fotografie, l’anima più intima di Cattolica e dei paesaggi vicini.
L’attaccamento alla propria terra, la passione e la sensibilità artistica sono evidenziate in queste immagini che mostrano con chiarezza la trasformazione nel tempo di questo territorio, facendone riaffiorare con emozioni intese l’essenza più vera.
L’obiettivo dell’artista si allarga su scorci suggestivi di altre città italiane, cogliendone particolari che ben delineano la ricchezza artistica, culturale architettonica della nostra Italia.
Il mio particolare apprezzamento va ancora una volta rivolto a questo lavoro, alla dedizione particolare e scrupolosa con cui Antonio Barbieri ha saputo mostrate la genuinità e la semplicità di un territorio in continua evoluzione ma sempre attento a rinnovare la propria cultura dell’accoglienza.

It is certainly an honor to become the thirteenth Chancellor of Winston-Salem State University. While I am new in this role, I certainly am familiar with WSSU. Growing up in Eastern North Carolina, I heard a great deal about the university and I have maintained a professional interest in what has transpired here over the years
I know from its beginnings in 1892 as Slater Industrial Academy, that the institution has prided itself on providing students with the knowledge necessary to be successful in their professions, in their families and in their communities. Defining success beyond graduating and getting a job, however, has meant offering an education that supports the development of the entire student. It is by emphasizing the importance of service as part of the educational experience that WSSU has prepared our graduates to become true leaders.
Another constant in the preparation of our graduates has been delivering an education that is relevant in the context of the times. When we look at its early years, we see that Simon Green Atkins focused on educating students to meet the needs of a changing world at the turn of the twentieth century. That meant he needed to graduate students who could teach African American children who were starting to have opportunities to learn to read and to write. Today, we find ourselves striving to prepare our graduates to be able to be successful in the twenty-first century. That means ensuring that our graduates are able to adapt to change in a diverse environment.
This rapid pace of change, especially in technology, and the creation of a global economy have certainly affected how we teach and, to some extent, what we teach. Yet, it cannot affect what has made this university strong for more than one hundred twenty years. We have to continue to provide our students with a high touch, caring educational environment that also imparts upon them the value of service to others and an appreciation for social justice for all.
Over the next several months, we will be refining the vision for the future of Winston-Salem State and developing strategies to reach our goals. I can, however, tell you now that my personal vision for Winston-Salem State will always include providing our graduates with the tools necessary to become successful. To do that means we must continue to be innovative and to make changes when needed. We also must remain committed to providing an education that remains grounded in the university’s motto of “Enter to Learn. Depart to Serve.”
I hope you will join me as we embark on this next phase in the life of Winston-Salem State University and I certainly look forward to working with you.

She is a real V-smash Blythe. That just made my day!!
Washington Park is a public urban park in Portland, Oregon, USA. It includes a zoo, forestry museum, arboretum, children's museum, rose garden, Japanese garden, amphitheatre, memorials, archery range, tennis courts, soccer field, picnic areas, playgrounds, public art and many acres of wild forest with miles of trails. Washington Park covers more than 410 acres (166 hectares) on mostly steep, wooded hillsides which range in elevation from 200 feet (61 m) at 24th & W Burnside to 870 feet (265 m) at SW Fairview Blvd. It comprises 159.7 acres (64.63 hectares) of city park land that has been officially designated as "Washington Park" by the City of Portland,[1] as well as the adjacent 64 acre Oregon Zoo and the 187 acre Hoyt Arboretum, which together make up the area described as "Washington Park" on signs and maps.[2]

The City of Portland purchased the original 40.78 acres (16.5 hectares) in 1871 from Amos King for $32,624, a controversially high price for the time.[3][4] The area, designated "City Park", was wilderness with few roads. Thick brush, trees and roaming cougar discouraged access. In the mid-1880s, Charles M. Meyers was hired as park keeper. A former seaman without landscape training, he transformed the park by drawing on memories of his native Germany and European parks. By 1900, there were roads, trails, landscaped areas with lawns, manicured hedges, flower gardens, and a zoo. Cable cars were added in 1890 and operated until the 1930s.
In 1903, John Charles Olmsted of Olmsted Brothers, a nationally known landscape architecture firm, recommended several changes to the park including the present name, location of the entrance, separate roads and pedestrian paths, and replacement of formal gardens with native species. The name was officially changed from City Park to Washington Park in 1909.[5]
When the county poor farm closed in 1922, the 160 acres (64.75 hectares) were added to Washington Park.
Portland's zoo was founded in Washington Park in 1887 near where the reservoirs are presently located. It moved in 1925 to what is now the Japanese Garden, and moved again in 1959 to its present location at the park's southern edge. The only surviving structure from the old zoo is the elephant barn, now converted into a picnic shelter and decorated with tile mosaic of various animals and a life-size brick relief sculpture of an elephant and calf.
The City of Portland plans to demolish the existing number 3 and 4 outdoor reservoirs, then replace them with underground reservoirs covered by reflecting pools, due to their age and a federal mandate to cover all reservoirs.[6] The $67 million project has attracted opposition from historical preservationists and residents concerned about construction impacts.[7]
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
A shout out to all Teachers, Coaches who are part of this journey to empower the world around them
PS: Running coaches at Runner's High do not have a salary, they are all professionals in their on life and do it as a passion.
An acknowledgement to every teacher is to share knowledge freely whenever and wherever possible

Heusden is een gerestaureerde vestingstad in de Nederlandse gemeente Heusden (provincie Noord-Brabant), gelegen aan de Maas en de Bergsche Maas. Zij telt ongeveer 1.325 inwoners (2021). In 1968 is begonnen met het in oude stijl restaureren van de vestingstad Heusden. Dit grootscheepse restauratieproject liep twintig jaar. Heusden is de hoofdstad van het Land van Heusden. Dichtstbijzijnde steden zijn Waalwijk ten zuidwesten van Heusden en 's-Hertogenbosch in het oosten. Heusden draagt de bijnamen 'Galeriestad', 'Vestingstad' en 'Maasstad'.
De eerste vermelding van Heusden dateert uit 722, als Hunsata Super fluvium Mosam. In 839 zou de plaats door de Noormannen verwoest zijn. Vermoedelijk ging het hierbij niet om de stad Heusden zoals we die in de moderne tijd kennen, die is van later datum. Het zou om een plaats kunnen gaan die overeenkomt met het huidige Oudheusden, dat aan de toenmalige loop van de Maas gelegen was.
Het Kasteel Heusden dateert uit de 12e eeuw. In de buurt van dit kasteel ontwikkelde het huidige stadje Heusden zich. In het jaar 1157 was er al sprake van een conflict over het bezit van de kapel tussen de abt van Sint-Truiden en een Tempelier.[5] In het jaar 1210 werd vervolgens melding gemaakt van een kerk. Heusden lag op de strategische grens tussen het hertogdom Brabant, het graafschap Holland en het hertogdom Gelre, terwijl ook het graafschap Kleef er aanvankelijk rechten bezat. Hierdoor was de politieke situatie van Heusden onduidelijk. Zo werd Heusden in 1279 ingenomen door hertog Jan I van Brabant en dit wordt als het begin van de Brabantse invloed beschouwd, hoewel er al eerder schermutselingen waren tussen de drie machtsblokken.
Het is niet duidelijk wanneer de plaats stadsrechten kreeg. Diverse bronnen vermelden jaren als 1231, tussen 1290 en 1296, en 1318. Jan van Wijnvliet, burggraaf van Heusden verbouwde en versterkte de burcht in de jaren 1338-1339 met een muur. In 1340 werd Wijnric van Oyen door Jan van Wijnvliet aangesteld tot drossaard van het Land van Heusden. In 1357 werd het Land van Heusden verkocht aan het Graafschap Holland en werd dus Hollands. De reden van de verkoop lag in het feit dat de Graaf van Holland partij zou kiezen voor een Brabantse kandidaat in een opvolgingskwestie. Omstreeks 1810 werd Heusden bij de huidige provincie Noord-Brabant gevoegd.
In Heusden hebben zich meerdere rampen voorgedaan. In 1569 werd de stad door de Spanjaarden belegerd en geheel verwoest. Meerdere keren werd de stad getroffen door de pest. Tijdens de grote brand in 1572 werd bijna de hele stad in de as gelegd. Van het prachtige stadhuis was niets meer over. In 1680 werden het kasteel en omliggende huizen verwoest, doordat de bliksem in de kruittoren sloeg.
Jacob Kemp ontwierp aan het einde van de 16e eeuw een moderne omwalling volgens het oud-Nederlands vestingstelsel. De middeleeuwse ommuring had vier stadspoorten: de Wijkse poort, de Bossche poort, de Oudheusdense poort en de Veerpoort. Toen de ommuring werd gesloopt, ten behoeve van de aarden vestingwerken, verdween de Bossche Poort en werd de Herptse Poort gebouwd. De Wijkse Poort werd verplaatst en later uitgebreid tot de huidige vorm. De graaf de Mirabeau wees op de patriottische gezindheid van Heusden en nam het stadje op in zijn aanvalsplan. Ook Cornelis Krayenhoff zou in 1794 via Heusden optrekken.
De laatste tragische gebeurtenis vond plaats tegen het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Terwijl de geallieerden oprukten, zochten de Duitsers hun heil achter een nieuwe linie, de Bergsche Maas. Zij lieten de hoogste punten in de vesting, het stadhuis en twee kerktorens, opblazen. Dat deden de Duitsers ook elders, om de oprukkende geallieerden te beletten hoge gebouwen als uitkijkposten te gebruiken.
Het Heusdense stadhuis werd algemeen gezien als het mooiste stadhuis van heel Nederland. Tijdens de geallieerde beschietingen hielden vele Heusdenaren zich schuil in de grote kelder van het stadhuis. Een deel ervan verbleef in de kelder tijdens de onaangekondigde opblazing. In de nacht van 4 op 5 november 1944 werd de toren van het stadhuis opgeblazen, maar het hele stadhuis stortte in en 134 mannen, vrouwen en kinderen kwamen om. Destijds was dit tien procent van de totale bevolking. Nog geen vier uur later reden de Schotse tanks en Poolse divisies Heusden binnen. De daders van de aanslag werden nooit gevonden, en Heusden verloor een deel van zijn inwoners en een historisch bouwwerk.
