Church of St Andrew
Monument to Sir Arthur (1629) and Elizabeth (1627) Coke. Marble, north chancel, delivered 1634, Nicholas Stone
The long inscription reads: HERE LYETH BURIED ARTHUR COKE ESQ. THIRD SON OF SIR EDWARD COKE KNIGHT LATE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF ENGLAND & OF THE PRIVYE COUNSELL OF KING JAMES. HERE LYETH ALSO BURIED IN THE SAME TOMB ELIZABETH DAUGHTER AND SOLE HEIRE APPARENT OF SR GEORGE WALDEGRAVE KNIGHT. ELIZABETH CHRISTIANLY AND PEACEABLY DEPARTED THIS LIFE THE 14TH DAY OF NOVEMBER ANNO DOMINI 1627. THE SAID SIR ARTHR LIKEWISE CHRISTIANLY & PEACEABLY DEPARTED THIS LIFE AT BURY ST EDMUNDS IN THE CONTY OF SUFFOK ON THE 6TH DAY OF DECEMBER 1629. THEY HAD ISSUE BETWENE THEM LIGINGE AT THEIR DECEASES FOURE DAUGHTER. VIZ ELIZABETH, MARY, WINIFRED AND THEOPHILA WHOM ALMIGHTY GOD PROSPER AND PROTECT
Sir Arthur in plate armour, trunk, hose and a plain collar kneels in prayer facing the altar. He is set in a niche of black marble framed by seven cartouches with coats of arms and set above the tomb chest, where Lady Elizabeth lies, her head on twin cushions, holding a child in swaddling clothes (to indicate death) and looking to heaven. The frame is slightly awkward, and White has suggested that it may once have had a canopy. Comparison with the Monument to Lady Katherine Bertie of Lindsey (Paston) †1636 at Oxnead, who is set in a comparable black niche, suggests rather that Stone may have planned, but not executed, a broken curved pediment of white marble (see composite photo with Oxnead pediment). The entry in Stone’s notebook refers to the completion and installation of the tomb in 1634, on receiving the final payment from Sir Arthur’s brother, Sir Robert. Sir Arthur had made an initial down payment of £60 in his lifetime and his brother the balance of £70. This was £70 less than Stone’s monument Oxnead, a discrepancy which might explain the lack of a pediment and the prominence of the top cartouche with its coat of arms.
That the final payment came five years afer Sir Arthur’s death reflects that Sir Robert presumably waited until he had received a considerable legacy on the death (in 1634) of his father Sir Edward Coke, the Lord Chief Justice. The delay is reflected in the contrast between the statues. Sir Arthur’s was presumably finished soon after this death and first payment. It is well observed and executed, a point underlined by comparison with that of his father of 1639 at Tittleshall, by Stone’s assistant John Hargrave. That of Elizabeth is in finer more polished marble with a change in style that reflects, as Margaret Whinney noted: ‘Stone’s experience of the classical sculpture purchased by Charles I from the Mantuan collection in its use of small fine folds.’ To which may be added the exquisite decorative detail, both of her dress and of the cushions on which she lies.

Ballroom tract
The Large Festival Hall during a concert of the Vienna Hofburg Orchestra (another picture you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
The ballroom wing was built by Ludwig Baumann in the years 1910-23. It connects the New Castle with the Ceremonial hall tract and has the main side towards the Heroes' Square. It was originally planned as part of by Carl Hasenauer planned 1866 and by Gottfried Semper 1869 generously remodeled "Imperial Forum".
The Grand Ballroom is with approximately 1,000 m² the largest hall in the whole Hofburg. Although it was designed as a throne hall, it was never used as such: the interior construction ended in 1923, the artistic design remained incomplete. Three ceiling paintings by Alois Hans Schramm glorify the Habsburg rule. As motto served the slogan of Emperor Franz Joseph Viribus Unitis, with joined forces. In the lying below lunettes and octagon panels Eduard Veith and Viktor Stauffer have immortalized personalities of the Austrian history. In the ceiling paintings can be seen Maximilian I, Charles V, Ferdinand I, Rudolf II and Ferdinand II of Tyrol, in the side panels Leopold I, Charles VI, Prinz Eugen and the Polish king Jan III Sobieski.
Since 1958, the Festival Hall tract is used as a convention center of the Hofburg Congress Center & Redoutensäle Vienna. The Euro Vision Song Contest 1967 was held here. Since 1992, the OSCE keeps her an office for the event organization. 2005 the so-called "Kesselhaushof" was covered and converted into a conference hall. In addition to numerous other balls here since 1968 takes also place annually the controversial because of repeated participation of right-wing politicians Wiener corporation ball.
Festsaaltrakt
Der Große Festsaal während eines Konzerts des Wiener Hofburg Orchesters
Der Festsaaltrakt wurde von Ludwig Baumann in den Jahren 1910-23 errichtet. Er verbindet die Neue Burg mit dem Zeremoniensaaltrakt und hat die Hauptseite zum Heldenplatz. Es wurde ursprünglich als Teil des von Carl Hasenauer 1866 geplanten und von Gottfried Semper 1869 großzügig umgestalteten "Kaiserforums" geplant.
Der Große Festsaal ist mit rund 1.000 m² der größte Saal in der gesamten Hofburg. Er wurde zwar als Thronsaal konzipiert, aber nie als solcher verwendet: der Innenausbau endete 1923, die künstlerische Gestaltung blieb unvollständig. Drei Deckengemälde von Alois Hans Schramm verherrlichen die Herrschaft der Habsburger. Als Devise diente der Wahlspruch Kaiser Franz Josephs Viribus Unitis, mit vereinten Kräften. In den unterhalb liegenden Lunetten und Oktogonfeldern haben Eduard Veith und Viktor Stauffer Persönlichkeiten aus der österreichischen Geschichte verewigt. In den Deckengemälden erkennt man Maximilian I., Karl V., Ferdinand I., Rudolf II. und Ferdinand II. von Tirol, in den Seitenfeldern Leopold I., Karl VI., Prinz Eugen und den Polenkönig Jan III. Sobieski.
Seit 1958 wird der Festsaaltrakt als Kongresszentrum von der Hofburg Kongresszentrum & Redoutensäle Wien genutzt. Der Eurovision Song Contest 1967 wurde hier abgehalten. Seit 1992 unterhält hier die OSCE ein Büro für die Veranstaltungsorganisation. 2005 wurde der sogenannte "Kesselhaushof" überdacht und in einen Konferenzsaal umgewandelt. Neben zahlreichen anderen Bällen findet hier seit 1968 jährlich auch der wegen der wiederholten Teilnahme rechtsextremer Politiker umstrittene Wiener Korporationsball statt.
The Wheel of Sheffield sponsored by Hallam FM is situated in Fargate, near to the Town Hall, City Hall & the Crucible Theatre. The observation wheel allows visitors to see panoramic views of the " City OF STEEL" taking in iconic , historic and modern urban views in addition to Sheffield’s magnificent parks and open spaces.
As part of my course work in NCFE level 3, this week it was night photography. So I decided to take some of the Sheffield Wheel before it's taken down next month. Also it gave me the chance to try out my new lens. I'm off to the lakes for a week tomorrow, hope I manage to get some good stuff. Many thanks for passing by and your comments, catch you all later.

Better late than never! I learned my photo of the P-51 Mustang "Betty Jane" was selected as one of the 4 best for 2011. www.planeaday.com/archives/2011_BestOf.htm
I had no idea that it had even been selected; at the time it was in public domain. The comments I see on Flickr are the most important. That it is already one of my personal favorites was even more gratifying.
Besides this one, they also selected my shot of 'Fifi', the B-29 Superfortress, landing at the same Long Beach (CA) Airport.

August 21, 2017, was an auspicious day to start the semester with a rare solar eclipse speeding through the middle of the day. While Lafayette wasn't in the path of totality, almost a 1,000 students, faculty, and staff gathered in the Quad to experience the eclipse which covered about 80% of the sun. The day started with the traditional Donut and Fruit Giveaway hosted by the SGA on the corner of St. Mary and Rex.
On 8th of June 2018, 600 teachers and staff of Udgam School for Children and Zebar School for Children came together under one roof to celebrate the successes and embrace the challenges that lay ahead. The Annual Teachers’ Conference was held at YMCA , Ahmedabad. It was a colourful gathering of trustees, directors, teacher and other staff members of Udgam School and Zebar School. The compere for the day, Ms. Aarti Kellogg, Supervisor of Udgam Primary Section engaged brilliantly with the audience and facilitated the event with ease. The day began with a prayer followed by the traditional lighting of the lamp by the trustees of the school Shri G.K. Choksi, Shri J.D. Patel, Shri Shaunak Majmudar and Shri Vartik Choksi along with Academic Advisors Ms. Radhika Iyer, Ms. Pratima Patell and Mrs Villoo Parikh. A motivating speech by veteran educationist, Shri Rajabhai Pathak, left an indelible mark on the audience. The guest speaker of the day was Swami Sukhabodhananda. He is the founder Chairman of Prasanna Trust. It was a great honour for the schools to have him as a speaker. His speech was based on Alacrity to life. He addressed our teachers and explained to them as to how they can expand their vision which in turn would help their students achieve success in life. The conference was a platform for knowledge sharing and an opportunity to discuss the successes and failures of 2017-18 and the future plans of 2018-19. Using power point presentations, the Vice-Principals of Udgam School for Children and Zebar School for Children spoke at length about challenges they faced last year and the changes they would bring in their respective sections in the future. The Executive Director, Sri Manan Choksi then presented his ideas on dealing with day to day challenges in schools with parents and students. He spoke at length on how parents, school and teachers have a common goal and how they can join hands and mould intelligent, hardworking and healthy responsible citizens for the country. Both schools have an accomplished and dedicated the teaching and non-teaching staff and it is quite difficult to decide who is more deserving. Finally came the much-awaited Employee Recognition and Motivation through awards to those who had proved themselves to be a shade better than their colleagues this year. Concluding the conference, Ms.Reena Kahlon, Vice-Principal of Middle and Secondary Section, Zebar School for Children, gave the Vote of Thanks.

2019-02-02 ZMA Spring Exhibitions Zuckerman Museum of Art Kennesaw
Terry Adkins, Christopher Adler, Dara Birnbaum, John Cage, James Castle, Nick Cave, Joseph Grigley, Dana Haugaard, Sarah Hobbs, Vanessa Yvonne Jagodinsky, Katelyn Rose King, Christine Sun Kim, Alison O’Daniel, Yoko Ono, Alix Pearlstein, Trevor Reese, and Geo Sipp.
Join us on Feb 2, 3-5 PM to celebrate the ZMA's Spring exhibitions: "Louder than Words" and "Sahwa/Resurgence: Works by Hicham Berrada."
The reception will include performances in conjunction with "Louder than Words." Katelyn Rose King will recreate John Cage’s "Water Walk" and Vanessa Yvonne Jagodinsky will perform her work, "Candidate 23."
"Louder than Words" features artists who privilege silence (non-linguistic sounds, symbols, or gestures) over words as their method of communication. The exhibition includes works on paper, video, and sculpture, as well as performance works that emphasize the importance of the body as a vehicle for nonverbal expression. Four featured artists are deaf, and their work addresses issues of translation and the loss of information.
"Louder than Words" also explores the power of silence as a form of protest, or as a means to call attention to power and oppression. Curator Teresa Bramlette Reeves says of the exhibition, “This is a show where sound can be seen and felt as well as heard, books don’t rely on words, and silence can be experienced as overwhelmingly powerful.”
Featuring artworks by Terry Adkins, Christopher Adler, Dara Birnbaum, John Cage, James Castle, Nick Cave, Joseph Grigley, Dana Haugaard, Sarah Hobbs, Vanessa Yvonne Jagodinsky, Katelyn Rose King, Christine Sun Kim, Alison O’Daniel, Yoko Ono, Alix Pearlstein, Trevor Reese, and Geo Sipp.
The ZMA also presents a solo exhibition of Franco-Moroccan artist Hicham Berrada titled Sahwa / Resurgence. Located in the Henrique Atrium, six video works by Berrada expose a sublime beauty that unexpectedly results from disruptive interactions, such as the collision of chemicals in solution or man-made interventions in the environment. The Arabic word sahwa, translates as “resurgence,” speaks to the transformation of the mundane into something eerily beautiful. This exhibition is presented as part of Kennesaw State University’s Year of Morocco programming.

Pavonis Mons is one of the three aligned Tharsis Volcanoes. The four Tharsis volcanoes are Ascreaus Mons, Pavonis Mons, Arsia Mons, and Olympus Mars. All four are shield type volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are formed by lava flows originating near or at the summit, building up layers upon layers of lava. The Hawaiian islands on Earth are shield volcanoes. The three aligned volcanoes are located along a topographic rise in the Tharsis region. Along this trend there are increased tectonic features and additional lava flows.
Pavonis Mons is the smallest of the four volcanoes, rising 14 km above the mean Mars surface level with a width of 375 km. It has a complex summit caldera, with the smallest caldera deeper than the larger caldera. Like most shield volcanoes the surface has a low profile. In the case of Pavonis Mons the average slope is only 4 degrees.
NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft has spent over 15 years in orbit around Mars, circling the planet more than 69,000 times. It holds the record for longest working spacecraft at Mars. THEMIS, the IR/VIS camera system, has collected data for the entire mission and provides images covering all seasons and lighting conditions.
Over the years many features of interest have received repeated imaging, building up a suite of images covering the entire feature. From the deepest chasma to the tallest volcano, individual dunes inside craters and dune fields that encircle the north pole, channels carved by water and lava, and a variety of other feature, THEMIS has imaged them all.
For the next several months the image of the day will focus on the Tharsis volcanoes, the various chasmata of Valles Marineris, and the major dunes fields. We hope you enjoy these images!

Kwibuka Flame of Remembrance reached Rulindo District on 4 March 2014.
The Kwibuka Flame is travelling through Rwanda’s thirty districts before reaching Kigali on 7 April 2014, the start of the national mourning period.
The flame symbolises remembrance as well as the resilience and courage of Rwandans over the past twenty years. Carried in a simple lamp, it will be used to light other lamps in communities around Rwanda. To mark the 20th commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsi, all memorial fires throughout the country will stem from this single Kwibuka Flame.
On returning to Kigali, President Paul Kagame will use the Kwibuka Flame to light the National Flame of Mourning.
One of my interests is to create images which emulate the look of photo prints created using one of the various analog print processes. This photo of an old brick kiln was processed in Photoshop to emulate a process called saltprint.
The salted paper process was invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in 1833. If you are interested in the process or want to check if my image comes close to the look of a real saltprint check this website.

Luang Prabang (ຫລວງພະບາງ in Laotian or Louang Phabang), commonly transliterated into Western languages from the pre-1975 Lao spelling ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ literally meaning "Royal Buddha Image," is a city in north central Laos, consisting of 58 adjacent villages, of which 33 comprise the UNESCO Town Of Luang Prabang World Heritage Site. It was listed in 1995 for unique and "remarkably" well preserved architectural, religious and cultural heritage, a blend of the rural and urban developments over several centuries, including the French colonial influences during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The center of the city consists of four main roads and is located on a peninsula at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers. Luang Prabang is well known for its numerous Buddhist temples and monasteries. Every morning, hundreds of monks from the various monasteries walk through the streets collecting alms. One of the city's major landmarks is Mount Phou Si, a large steep hill which despite the constrained scale of the city, is 150 meters (490 feet) high, a steep staircase leads to Wat Chom Si shrine and an overlook of the city and the rivers.
The city was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. It had also been known by the ancient name of Chiang Thong. It was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos, until the Pathet Lao takeover in 1975. The city is part of Luang Prabang District of Luang Prabang Province and is the capital and administrative center of the province. It lies approximately 300 kilometers (190 miles) north of the capital Vientiane. Currently, the population of the city as a whole is roughly 56,000 inhabitants with the UNESCO protected site being inhabited by around 24,000.

Children of Chemistry - Imaginer les genres autrement - Sébastien Provencher / Danse Danse
Après plus d’une quarantaine de représentations à travers le Québec, Sébastien Provencher propose une version inédite et adaptée de l’œuvre Children of Chemistry dans la vitrine de l'édifice 2-22, immeuble à vocation culturelle situé dans le Quartier des spectacles de Montréal.
Children of Chemistry s’inspire des standards masculins et féminins véhiculés dans l’univers médiatique et dans la culture populaire.
Sur un ton humoristique et sarcastique, le chorégraphe joue avec les codes du genre pour relater les absurdités qui nous amènent à concevoir notre société de façon binaire.
D’abord créé pour 5 performeurs, cette adaptation en vitrine réunira 12 interprètes.

Thousands of Nurses Hold National Day of Action Aug. 5 to Save Lives During COVID-19 and Beyond
As firsthand witnesses and actual victims during this COVID-19 crisis of a health care and economic system that prioritizes money over people, registered nurse members of National Nurses United (NNU) held on Aug. 5 more than 200 actions inside and outside hospital facilities in at least 16 states and the District of Columbia to demand that our elected leaders, government, and hospital employers take immediate action to save lives.

You, the shepherd without a flock, and these Internal dialogs and my biological clock, painless deaths beyond the hearing of dogs, under the mole people, bought but not sold, rigermole instead of hyperbole, you dare to be you, dare to never grow old, returner to the hive, bedbugs not ballyhoo, up on studio 55, keeper of the flame broiled, forrestdweller and circus seller, and the not-so well oiled, the cream of the crop dusters, knowing without knowing how, making wood out of paper, a smile but never a bow, beyond the times and the art crimes caper, never knowing what to need but to be, anti-pride in creed and country, spanning the globe, mis-advice on wardrobe, freewheeling and drugless dealing, planning your past, you touch God and never speak again, making it never ever last, doing time in your prime and plenty of divinty until infinity, the zip code of ethics make you sleep, laughter makes you weep, morality you hold but dont keep, hip is for the weak, cool can't touch the geek, you fill no bill, you are your own free will, so old your new, lie to me and I'll say its true, reving it up and giving in to living it down, you are the circus's lost clown, the irrelevance of joy, manipulator of the force, stay gold pony boy, whats right isnt always air tight and clean outta sight, you say, you will stay on the horse, you will stay in the saddle, you will keep on going, keep on hoping, though you know its a losing battle, you accept this, but still, you will not give up the journey into all that cannot last, the road from future to past, you are a being of lies and truth - insight and air, the jewel from your youth, you want all that isnt fair, forget the banks use a sock,
you are the shepherd without a flock.
Piles of my favorite objects are all over the house as I clean, sort, and arrange. Trying to get organized! Anyone want to help? That little tin box holds a pair of vintage goggles.

The folder is not dated but the two route diagrams - maps - shown are dated to 1966. They show that various branch lines have already been pruned under the Beeching "Axe" and, of course, there have been many subsequent changes to routes and service patterns particularly in the London Suburban area such as Tramlink and Thameslink.
This is the diagramattic version of the Southern's extensive suburban network that covered much of South London and the adjacent Home Counties. Largely electrically operated this was one of the world's largest and busiest suburban and commuting networks serving the main city termini of Victoria, Waterloo, Charing Cross, Holborn Viaduct, Cannon Street and London Bridge. There have been some substantial changes over the years such as Thameslink, Tramlink between Wimbledon and Croydon and some other losses.

The Maid of the Mist is a boat tour of Niagara Falls. (The actual boats used are each named Maid of the Mist, followed by a different Roman numeral in each case.) The boat starts off at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and takes its passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls. The tour is available starting from either the Canadian or American side of the river, returning to the starting point in each case.

I'm sorry, but I didn't take any other pictures tonight. Tomorrow's will be better. This app is truly going to save this project though.
I've never seen so much snow.
These aren't even my clothes, because I'm so out of my element.
Since the roads suck, no one is driving.. but everyone is walking.
And I don't understand why (us included) think it's okay to walk miles in snow up to our calves...
I don't know. Tomorrow. Good night.
