Open North American Championship (ONAC) is the premiere sled dog sprint race in the world, attracting the best sprint mushers from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. The three-day race is run every year in March from downtown Fairbanks, Alaska, with runs of 20 miles the first two days, and a 30-mile run on the third day.
The ONAC is the oldest continuously run sled dog race of any kind in the world. First run in 1946, the 2009 race will be the 64th running.
St Henry Morse, Diss, Norfolk
This splendid Catholic church of 2012 on the Shelfanger road was the replacement for the 1952 church of Holy Trinity down in the town. Holy Trinity itself was a fairly utilitarian conversion of a former bakery, and had been enlarged for Diss's growing Catholic population as recently as the turn of the 21st Century, but it was clear something new was needed. Diss had only become a Catholic parish in 1968, and the continuity of the church during the penal years was maintained by local big houses rather than in the town.
Henry Morse was a local lad. He was born at Brome just over the Suffolk border in 1595 towards the end of the Elizabethan period. At the age of 19 after the death of his father he went to France, and was received into the Catholic Church at the English seminary in Douai where his brother was studying for the priesthood. Eventually ordained himself, he served the faithful in Newcastle and London. After a number of narrow scrapes he was eventually arrested and charged with treason, and of being the cause of treason in others. Taking the vows of a Jesuit while imprisoned, he was condemned to death by hanging, drawing and quartering, the standard punishment for treason, in 1645. The anti-Catholic fury of the Elizabethan period had dissipated somewhat, and at his martyrdom at Newgate Morse was mercifully allowed to die on the scaffold. When his bowels were wound out of him and his body cut into quarters, the crowd surged forward to dip their handkerchiefs in his blood.
The new church cost almost exactly a million pounds, funded by the sale of the land on which the former church stood. The style could be termed agricultural vernacular, and the architects were Hollins of Framlingham. The structure successfully combines a square worship space at the east which can be extended into the hall to the west with a flat for the resident priest, a nice medieval touch. The overwhelming impression inside is of a church full of gathered light. The parish brought their font with them, but the restored details of stained glass windows around the sanctuary were from Stowmarket Catholic church, in which parish this originally was. The rood came from the Catholic chapel at RAF Marham, and the altar from the Carmelite convent at Langham. The modern abstract glass installed at Holy Trinity barely a dozen years earlier was also brought here, and forms a west window into the parish hall. All in all, a church done well, seemly and fitting for Catholic worship and suitable for the life of the parish in the 21st Century.

This static replica has a full size cockpit but scaled down fuselage and wings.
The original DH2 was designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and first flew in July 1915. Armament was a single Lewis gun. Outclassed by most German fighter aircraft it did however remain in service until the autumn of 1917, albeit in a training role.
A welcome site on a grey and windy morning. If you find yourself in Helsinki this tiny cafe on the edge is a must, I've uploaded a shot of the inside in the same album too.

Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum is an open-air museum located at Beamish, near the town of Stanley, County Durham, England. The museum's guiding principle is to preserve an example of everyday life in urban and rural North East England at the climax of industrialisation in the early 20th century.
Much of the restoration and interpretation is specific to the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, together with portions of countryside under the influence of industrial revolution in 1825. On its 300 acres (120 ha) estate it utilises a mixture of translocated, original and replica buildings; a huge collection of artifacts, working vehicles and equipment; as well as livestock and costumed interpreters.

Once again this year, the Ars Electronica Futurelab and its partners show at the “Open Futurelab” which projects and initiatives have been created in the past months in collaboration between industries, education, art, and science.
The research and development force behind Ars Electronica sees itself as an atelier and a laboratory at the same time – what exactly this means can be seen at the exhibits, lectures and performances shown in this area.
