These 125mph units were Built in 2000/01.
Specially designed bridge that takes the Pennine Way National Trail across a deep cutting that contains the M62.
It is 320 ft long, with a parabolic arch and slayed legs to withstand winds of 120 mph.
The whole experience seems surreal to hardened walkers heading for Kirk Yetholm in Scotland, or indeed the shorter distance to Edale for those awkward individuals who insist on doing the challenge north to south.

Charles Gesner van der Voort (1916-1991) has been a member of NRCV (Nederlandse Reünisten Vereniging China (NRVC, Dutch Reunists Association China), as well as most of his former colleagues at Holland-China Trading Company.
NRVC evolved from Nederlandsch-Chineesche Vereeniging which was founded in 1923, by people who had an interest in China. Most of them had worked there, or studied Chinese and Chinese culture. Its magazine "China" had its editors' address at Leidsestraat 82-84 in Amsterdam, where Netherlands Harbour Works had its head office.
Its main activities before WWII were along the China coast: Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macao, Yantai (Chefoo), Xiamen (Amoy), etc.
Netherlands Harbour Works Company was founded 1 July 1912. More of its history is available online in the doctoral thesis by Frans-Paul van der Putten, Leiden University, "Corporate Behaviour and Political Risk, Dutch Companies in China, 1903-1941". openaccess.leidenuniv.nl/handle/1887/15900

[translation Pieter Lommerse] "Office building at the corner of Prinsengracht [and Leidsestraat] of N.V. Levensverzekeringsmaatschappij 'De Nederlanden', from 1954 'De Nederlanden van 1870'. Therefore, the building was named 'De Nederlanden'.
The insurance company used part of the offices, the other offices were rented to other companies {, one of which was Netherlands Harbour Works, or Nederlandsche Maatschappij voor Havenwerken].
The retail spaces at ground floor were rented to a furniture shop and to Municipal Gas Works. It displayed and sold gas stoves and fireplaces, up to 1921. From 1921 to 1994 a restaurant by the name of Dikker & Thijs was run here; there is still a hotel by that name."

Candid portrait of a fakir - a sufi ascetic at the mela ground
Fakirs of Bengal
Ever since Islam came to Bengal in the 13th century it participated, via a merging of Sufi inputs with vernacular strands of Vaisnavism (Vishnuism), tantrism and local folk cults, in a very rich blend of religious beliefs and practices in the lower strata of society. The Fakir (Sufi ascetic), as a sub-section of the Bengali Bául with a more or less defined Muslim identity, are at present the largest group in Bengal perpetuating this form of 'Islamic syncretistic tradition'.
Lalan Shah or Lalan Fakir (?1774-?1890) is a product and proponent of purely Bengali syncretism. His writings and his teachings tell a story of merging Hinduism and Islam into a universalistic religion transcending the boundaries of any single religion.
The Hindu Bául and the Muslim Fakir share the same tenets of an mystic quest based on the intimate human-divine connection within every human being, cultivated through a philosophy and practices that emphasize the human body as locus and means for finding the essence of God. The path is taught in the traditional guru-disciple relationship where the guru is like the figure of the Sufi saint, in whom the divine is accomplished, merged with the human.

A session about the copyright considerations in selecting and creating course materials
Chabriol Colebatch LLB, Copyright Co-ordinator/Legal Advisor, Brock University
Copyright rules and procedures at universities have confused faculty, instructors and lawyers for years. Recent copyright developments have resulted in changes to the ways faculty and instructors use copyright materials as well as increased scrutiny over Brock's copyright practices. This session will help faculty and instructors better understand the copyright issues involved in their work and will enable them to make sure that their materials do not infringe copyright.
Different copyright considerations which can affect your use of textbooks, course packs, electronic materials, print reserves etc
Copyright issues should you think about when creating PowerPoint slides?
How can you get permission to use copyright materials?
What alternatives do you have if you can't get permission (or just don't have the time)?
Who is available on campus to assist you with these issues?
For dates of upcoming copyright sessions and biweekly Lunch and Learn sessions (BYO lunch) go to www.brocku.ca/ctlet/workshops/faculty.

damncool famous pictorial "Neckarfront" - front of the city of Tuebingen, hometown
The row of historical houses, including the Hölderlintower, across one side of the elongated Neckarinsel is called the Neckarfront

Tübingen's Altstadt (old town) survived the Second World War due to the city's lack of heavy industry. The result is a growing domestic tourism business as visitors come to wander through one of the few completely intact historic old cities [Altstädte ] in Germany.
The highlights of Tübingen
include its crooked cobblestone lanes, narrow-stair alleyways picking their way through the hilly terrain, streets lined with canals and well-maintained traditional half-timbered houses.

Highlights in Tübingen:
dazu gehören ihre krummen und steilen Gassen aus Kopfsteinpflaster, sehr enge Gässchen;
viele alte Naturstein-Treppen schlängeln sich durch die hügelige Landschaft der Innenstadt.
Manche Straßen sind mit altehrwürdigen offenen Kanälen durchzogen (Ammergasse) und überall gibt es gepflegte traditionelle Fachwerkhäusernaus dem späten Mittelalter.
Die Tübinger Altstadt (Altstadt) überlebte den Zweiten Weltkrieg fast ohne Bombardierung weil die Universitäts-Stadt keine Schwerindustrie beherbergt.
Fremdenverker Tourismus
Das Ergebnis ist eine schnell wachsende inländische Tourismus - Wirtschaft.
Besucher kommen, um durch eines der wenigen vollständig intakt historischen Städten [Altstädte] in Deutschland wandern.

Neckarfront
The row of historical houses across one side of the elongated Neckarinsel is called the Neckarfront and includes the house with adjoining tower where poet Friedrich Hölderlin stayed for the last 36 years of his life as he struggled with mental instability.
Höderlinturm
Der Hölderlinturm zu Tübingen wurde im späten 19. Jahrhundert nach dem Dichter Friedrich Hölderlin benannt, der dort von 1807 bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1843 lebte. Das Gebäude ist eine der bekanntesten Gedenkstätten Tübingens.
Errichtet wurde der Hölderlinturm auf einem aus der Mauer vorspringenden Wehrturmsockel im späten 18. Jahrhundert.
Der Wehrturmsockel, auch Zwingel genannt, ist Teil der inneren Stadtmauer. Der alte Stadtgraben zwischen äußerer und innerer Stadtmauer, geht – wie staufische Buckelquader bei der Neckarbrücke beweisen – bis ins 13. Jahrhundert zurück.
Stiftskirche. St. Georg
Spätgotischer Bau mit fürstlicher Grablege des Hauses Württemberg.
Hervorragende Ausstattung: Glasfenster, *Lettner, Chorgestühl, reich verzierter Taufstein, spätgotische Steinkanzel, Altar des Dürer-Schülers Hans Schäufelein.
Vom Turm guter Blick über die Stadt.
Gegenüber: Münzgasse15 "Cottahaus", ehemaliger Sitz des berühmten Cotta -Verlags.
* Besonderheit: Lettner
Wie in vielen gotischen Kirchen bildete der Lettner einst die Schranke zwischen dem (der Geistlichkeit vorbehaltenen) Chorraum und dem Kirchenschiff der Laien, denen von dort die Lesungen („Lettner“ = „Lektorium“) vorgetragen wurden.
Als mit der Reformation die Chorschranken fielen, wurden auch landauf landab die Lettner entfernt.
Dass es in Tübingen anders kam, verdanken wir einer Idee Herzog Ulrichs, der 1534 in Württemberg die Reformation einführte.
Er machte den Chorraum zur Grablege des Württembergischen Fürstenhauses - so konnten Gottesdienste fortan nur noch im Schiff gefeiert werden - und der Lettner stehen bleiben.
Die Stiftskirche zu St. Georg in Tübingen wurde in ihrer heutigen Form von 1470 bis 1483 unter Graf Eberhard im Bart aufgrund der Übersiedlung des Chorherrnstiftes von Sindelfingen und der Gründung der Tübinger Universität erbaut. Baumeister waren Peter von Koblenz und Hans Augsteindreyer.
Service
Für Besucher gibt es im Kirchenvorraum sogar Toiletten.
Für Kinder während des Gottesdienstes
Im oberen Stock, neben der Orgel, ist für die spielenden und lärmenden Kinder ein schalldichter Raum mit vielen Spielmöglichkeiten.
Eine große Fensterfront gibt den Blick frei zum Gottedienst.

"Marble Female Figure," is on view at the Metropolitan Museum in Gallery 151. This revealing, yet gorgeous figure dates back to the Late Cycladic I period in 3200-2800 B.C. According to the museum's website, there are pairs of holes in the neck of this figure and the right leg have ancient repairs from which the "clamp," of metal or another material, is missing. This figurine is made of marble, it has an abnormally long neck and the tiny arms are tucked underneath the breasts. The dimensions are 8 1/2 inches tall (216 cm). This piece of art was purchased from the Rogers Fund in 1945. This image is in the Public Domain and can be seen on the museum's website.

The Ordnance Survey Map marks this as a Roman Road, which is probably correct.
The cobbles however are more likely to hark back to Packhorse Routes.
The scene looks west down towards Littleborough, somewhat furled in mist, although I note that grassy vegetation is beginning to smother the cobblestones which were far more exposed on my previous visit.
The Pennine Way National Trail adopts this road as far as the gate, where it turns right to follow Broad Head Drain

An annual fair and festival that takes place in Santiniketan, in Birbhum District in the Indian state of West Bengal, marking the harvest season.

The key characteristic of this fair include live performances of Bengali folk music, notably baul and fakir songs.
Devendranath Tagore, the father of Rabindranath Tagore, accepted the Brahmo creed on 21 December 1843 (7th day of Poush 1250; according to the Bengali calendar). Later a Brahma mandir (temple) was established at Santiniketan on 21 December 1891 (7th day of Poush 1298). A small fair was then organised in 1894 in connection with the anniversary of the Brahma mandir. What started as a small homely Poush Mela now attracts attention of not only the people of Birbhum district but visitors from all around Bengal.
