Due to its unique geomorphology, Ward Hunt Island and its surroundings exhibit distinct glaciological structures. On its northern coast lies the Proglacial Bay, a sediment-rich area fed by melting snow and ice. Since the 2008 ice shelf collapse east of the island, seawater has intruded, creating a highly heterogeneous water mix in summer. In winter, freshwater freezes first, trapping salty water in pockets within the ice. As temperatures drop, these pockets expand and eventually explode, cracking the frozen surface. In spring, the resulting frost blisters become visible. With ongoing global warming, increasing seawater intrusion intensifies these explosions, leading to ever more enigmatic ice formations. Exploring this landscape, we couldn’t help but wonder—perhaps this is how glaciologists are born.
The chancel windows have tracery in two layers supported on shafts of black, green, red and orange marble. On the south side, the inner layer of tracery over the sedilia (seats for the clergy) is supported by a carved winged Lion of Judah.
The church is a Grade I Listed Building.
The Church of St Mary, Studley Royal, is a Victorian Gothic Revival church built in the Early English style by William Burges. It is located in the grounds of Studley Royal Park at Fountains Abbey, in North Yorkshire, England. Burges was commissioned by the First Marquess of Ripon to build the church as a memorial church to Frederick Grantham Vyner, his brother in law. It is one of two such churches, the other being the Church of Christ the Consoler at Skelton-on-Ure.
Frederick Vyner had been murdered by Greek bandits in 1870. A significant ransom had been demanded, and in part collected, before his death. His mother, Lady Mary Vyner, and his sister, Lady Ripon, used the unspent ransom to build the two churches in his memory. Burges' appointment as architect was most likely due to the connection between his greatest patron, John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, and Vyner, who had been friends at Oxford. St Mary's, was commissioned in 1870 and work began in 1871. The church was consecrated in 1878. As at Skelton, Burges' design demonstrates a move from his favoured Early-French, to an English style. Pevsner writes of "a Victorian shrine, a dream of Early English glory." The interior is spectacular, exceeding Skelton in richness and majesty. The stained glass is of particularly high quality. St Mary's is Burges' "ecclesiastical masterpiece."
In 1970, the church was declared redundant, and three years later it was taken into the guardianship of the Department of the Environment (whose responsibilities were later taken over by English Heritage).
Today
The church and belongs to English Heritage and is managed by the National Trust. A local management agreement of 2008 lays down that English Heritage is responsible for the conservation and maintenance of the church, and the National Trust for visitor access.

Nehemiah 2:9 (ANIV)
So I went to the governors of Trans-Euphrates and gave them the king's letters. The king had also sent army officers and cavalry with me.
DRAWING NOTES:
TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified in the Bible narrative. I have set this scene at mid day.
LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun (high in the sky) illuminates this scene, casting shadows below and behind Figures and objects.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
From left to right (foreground): 3 cavalrymen on (2 on horseback, 1 standing by his horse beckoning his fellows in through the gate), Nehemiah, the governor of this particular fort/town, a little man in green (the governor’s aide) & two soldier bodyguards with spears, escorting the governor.
In the background, 2 soldiers on the wall, 1 angry looking soldier walking up some stairs towards the others.
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
In this picture we can see Nehemiah handing over a letter to a governor of the Trans-Euphrates region of the Persian empire. Notice that the cross-looking horse behind him is nudging Nehemiah with its nose to encourage him to hand the letter over!
Nehemiah's first mission to Jerusalem took place between 445 and 443 B.C. (13 years after Ezra) which was in the middle of the Achaemenid era (c. 550 – 330 B.C. ) of Persian history, founded by Cyrus the Great.
The Achaemenid era is also known as the Persian empire; based in modern-day Iran, it was the largest empire by that point in history, spanning a total of 2.1 million square miles (5.5 million square kilometres).
Notice that I had originally intended to show Nehemiah meeting the governor at the city gate, with some of the city walls behind the figures. Many more cavalrymen featured in this version of the scene also. In the end I decided that a scene inside the walled city was more likely... after all, I can’t imagine an important man like a governor going out his own city gates to meet Nehemiah on the road!
I did some research to find out about ancient Persian costume & discovered that soldiers seem to have worn quite brightly coloured clothing. The images I have seen show soldiers in padded tunics (which would offer some protection to them in battle). They wore trousers that look very similar to those we wear today. Being a nation who relied on horseback riding, almost all Persians seem to have preferred wearing trousers, which enabled riding so much more easily than if they wore longer robes. Persian shoes seem to have a pointed, upturned tip.
I decided that the governor might wear more elaborate clothing, of brighter colour, and opted for him to wear a yellow tunic top, the colour of which is also reflected in the spear pennants of his body guards. In ancient times, people’s wealth, position and status was often demonstrated in the clothing that they wore, so clearly this important man would be “dressed to impress”! [1]
An article (see link below) on Wikipedia can identify and name some of the clothing worn in Persia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_clothing
The Persians rode horses, covering them with an ornate saddle blanket, as shown in my drawing. Interestingly, the Persian cavalrymen at this time would have ridden without stirrups (as shown in my drawing), since these items had not yet been invented. [2]
Notice that Nehemiah is handing over king Artaxerxes I’s letter to the governor. At this time in history, letters would not have been made of paper [3] , but typically would have been clay tablets, inscribed by stylus, and then baked to preserve the writing as a permanent record. This particular letter (in Nehemiah’s hand) has a wooden surround, overlaid with purple silk, complete with the king’s gold seal of authority.
The title "Governor of Trans-Euphrates" refers to a provincial official in the Persian Empire, responsible for overseeing the region west of the Euphrates River. This area, known as "Beyond the River" in some translations, included territories such as Judah, Samaria, and other neighboring regions. The role of the governor was crucial in maintaining Persian control and implementing imperial policies in these territories.
The position of Governor of Trans-Euphrates is mentioned in several books of the Bible, particularly in the context of the post-exilic period when the Jewish people were returning from Babylonian captivity to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple. One notable governor mentioned in the Bible is Tattenai, who appears in the Book of Ezra.
Historical Context
The Persian Empire, under rulers such as Cyrus the Great and Darius I, was known for its administrative efficiency and tolerance of local customs and religions. The empire was divided into several satrapies or provinces, each governed by a satrap or governor. The Governor of Trans-Euphrates was responsible for collecting taxes, maintaining order, and ensuring loyalty to the Persian king.
The position required balancing the interests of the local populations with the demands of the empire. Governors like Tattenai had to navigate complex political and social dynamics, as they dealt with diverse groups, including the returning Jewish exiles, Samaritans, and other local inhabitants.

“Saddles were first developed and created as early as around 800 B.C.. The earliest saddles were probably little more than pads placed on the backs of horses, but over time, they evolved into more complex pieces of tack. The first effective stirrup most likely appeared about 1,000 years later, around 200-300 A.D. It is believed that the stirrup was invented in Asia, though the exact location is unknown. No one really recognizes who produced the stirrup or even where the inventor lives in Asia. The stirrup was a game-changer for riding, as it allowed riders to stay on their horses even during fast movements or rough terrain.”

The birth of paper, as we know it today, took place under the Chinese Han Dynasty in AD 105. Ts'ai Lun, a court official, invented a papermaking process which primarily used rags (textile waste) as the raw material with which to make paper.

The coffin of Bakenmut is one of the finest examples of painted wooden coffins made for the priests of Amen and their families at Thebes during Dynasty 21 and early Dynasty 22. The pharaohs of this time were no longer buried in the Valley of the Kings, but instead built tombs in the Delta, far to the north, where they resided. Security was lax in the Theban necropolis. The coffins and funerary goods of the wealthy citizens of Thebes were placed in unmarked and undecorated family tombs cut into the cliffs on the west bank of the Nile. All the care and detail that in more prosperous times were devoted to the decoration of the tomb chapel were now lavished on the elaborately painted coffins. Every available surface is crowded with religious scenes, images of funerary gods and goddesses, protective spells, and magical symbols. The deceased appears mummiform. An elaborate floral collar entirely covers the upper body, exposing only the separately attached hands (now lost). A pair of red "mummy braces" are crossed over the chest, their point of intersection marked by a winged sun disk. The lower body is covered with tiny figures modeled in gesso against a yellow background, which gives the effect of gold inlaid with glass or semiprecious stone. The decoration on the interior features two deified dead kings of Dynasty 18. Although these rulers had lived centuries before, memory of their greatness was still very much alive. The main scene near the top depicts Tuthmosis III, the great military pharaoh, who lived 500 years before Bakenmut. Posed as a mummy, the ruler wears a brilliant feathered garment enfolding him with falcon’s wings. The scene below features back-to-back seated images of Amenhotep I, regarded as the patron of the Theban cemetery and worshiped as a local god there.

Scenes from the United Nations Observance of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women held on Wednesday, 22 November 2023, 10:00 am – 11:30 am (EST) at the ECOSOC Chamber, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual campaign that begins on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and ends on International Human Rights Day on 10 December.
Led by civil society, the campaign is supported by the United Nations through the Secretary General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women initiative.
The global theme of this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence is “UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls” which emphasizes the need for funding prevention strategies to proactively stop gender-based violence.
The theme further aligns with the 2024 priority theme of the Commission on the Status of Women, which is "Accelerating Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women and Girls" by addressing poverty, strengthening institutions, and incorporating a gender perspective into financing.
