The Museum of London is at London Wall EC2 in the City of London.
The museum has exhibits on the history of London from the stone age to the modern age. Well worth the visit. Wanted to go here last year, but ended up going to the Docklands museum instead (as I saw Canary Wharf in my London book). No mistake this time, as we knew that this one could be accessed from St Paul's.
We spent around 4 hours or so having a look around the museum, including having something to eat / drink in the two Italian cafes they have here!

A look at Sutton Coldfield Station, before I headed into the town centre for a look around.
The station is on the Cross-City Line (north) between Birmingham New Street and Lichfield Trent Valley.
It's between Railway Road and Station Street.
The station was built in 1862. Repairwork took place in 2003.

PRIMER CROSS MEDIA MONTAÑA DE LA ASOCIACIÓN DE ESCLEROSIS MÚLTIPLE DE TOLEDO = ADEM-TO

CRÓNICA DE Sergio Miguel - lunes, 13 de mayo de 2013 para La Tribuna de Toledo
El deporte sigue siendo un motor solidario en la ciudad y la última prueba se pudo recoger ayer en el paraje natural conocido como la Fuente del Moro, en el barrio de Santa María de Benquerencia. En esta ocasión, la gran beneficiada fue la Asociación de Esclerosis Múltiple de Toledo (Ademto), que se ocupó de llevar a cabo su I Cross de Media Montaña que contó con el seguimiento cerrado del mundo del atletismo y las victorias de Óscar Martín y Miriam Guijarro en las categorías absolutas.
Ya desde el comienzo de la mañana el ambiente en los alrededores del centro comercial Luz del Tajo denotaba ambiente festivo. Sin embargo, para algunos las alegrías se transformaron en un puntito de sufrimiento cuando se situaron en la línea de salida y divisaron la primera de las cuestas que debían sortear.
Y es que, nada más emprender la marcha por el circuito de seis kilómetros, los atletas se tuvieron que enfrentar a una subida de un enorme desnivel que empezó a establecer las primeras diferencias entre los favoritos. Sin embargo, hubo que esperar hasta pasar por el segundo kilómetro para que el gran candidato al triunfo comenzase a marcar el ritmo.
Óscar Martín tomó la cabeza y empezó a abrir una contundente brecha sobre el resto de sus rivales, entre los que se encontraba un Jesús Lungarán que tiene un hechizo especial con el Polígono. No en vano, se ha proclamado en varias ocasiones vencedor de las populares que se celebran en el barrio toledano y ayer no quería dar su brazo a torcer a las primeras de cambio.
Con todo, en el Cross de Media Montaña de Ademto tenía a un rival muy experimentado que en ningún momento flaqueó para adjudicarse una brillante victoria. De esta forma, Óscar Martín se ocupó de controlar bien a sus rivales y no bajar nunca el ritmo hasta que cruzó triunfante la línea de meta.
Por detrás, a unos segundos de distancia y sin posibilidades de echarle el guante, Jesús Lungarán, Miguel Ángel Pulido y Noé Romero Funchal se tuvieron que conformar con ocupar puestos de honor en sus respectivas categorías.
En la carrera de las féminas, el dominio incontestable le correspondió a Miriam Guijarro Leo, que siguió una estrategia similar a la que utilizó Óscar Martín. Como en el caso del fondista toledano, a la ganadora en la Fuente del Moro le bastó imponer un poderoso ritmo para que el circuito se aliara con ella en la selección de favoritas.
Tanto es así que Guijarro consiguió llevarse la victoria por delante de una atleta que, en las últimas semanas, está tocada por una varita mágica. Se trata de Sonia Ruiz Andrade, perteneciente al TrainingRey, quien se tuvo que conformar con la segunda plaza en la categoría sénior, por delante de Susana Romero Hernández, que completó el podio.
Próximo objetivo. Nada más recuperar el resuello, Óscar Martín reconoció que «es un circuito duro, pero me he entrenado aquí en alguna ocasión y estoy encantado de poder correr en Toledo y por una buena causa como ésta», en referencia a la recaudación benéfica en favor de Ademto.
Aunque no destacó ningún punto especialmente duro en el circuito, porque «había muchas pendientes», admitió que «me he marchado en el segundo kilómetro y luego he ido a mi ritmo». Buena estrategia para lograr una victoria que le debe servir de acicate para su siguiente objetivo, que no es otro que «ganar por cuarto año consecutivo la Carrera del Corpus, que para mí es una clásica, al igual que la San Silvestre». De acuerdo con sus propias palabras, «según estoy, creo que podré llegar bien para disputarla».

Boston, officially the City of Boston, is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the cultural and financial center of the New England region of the Northeastern United States. The city boundaries encompass an area of about 48.4 sq mi (125 km2) and a population of 675,647 as of 2020. The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) home to 4,941,632 people as of 2020, ranking as the eleventh-largest MSA in the country. A broader combined statistical area (CSA), generally corresponding to the commuting area and including Worcester, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island, is home to approximately 8.2 million people, making it the seventh-most populous in the United States.
Boston is one of the nation's oldest municipalities, founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from the English town of the same name. During the American Revolution and the nation's founding, Boston was the location of several key events, including the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the hanging of Paul Revere's lantern signal in Old North Church, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the siege of Boston. Following American independence from Great Britain, the city continued to play an important role as a port, manufacturing hub, and center for American education and culture. The city has expanded beyond the original peninsula through land reclamation and municipal annexation. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing more than 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public park (Boston Common, 1634), the first public school (Boston Latin School, 1635), the first subway system (Tremont Street subway, 1897), and the first large public library (Boston Public Library, 1848).
In the 21st century, Boston has emerged as a global leader in higher education and academic research. Greater Boston's many colleges and universities include Harvard University and MIT, both located in suburban Cambridge and both routinely included among the world's most highly ranked universities. The city is also a national leader in scientific research, law, medicine, engineering, and business. With nearly 5,000 startup companies, the city is considered a global pioneer in innovation and entrepreneurship. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, biotechnology, information technology, and government activities. Households in the city claim the highest average rate of philanthropy in the United States. Boston businesses and institutions rank among the top in the country for environmental sustainability and new investment.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granary_Burying_Ground
The Granary Burying Ground in Massachusetts is the city of Boston's third-oldest cemetery, founded in 1660 and located on Tremont Street. It is the burial location of Revolutionary War-era patriots, including Paul Revere, the five victims of the Boston Massacre, and three signers of the Declaration of Independence: Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine. The cemetery has 2,345 grave-markers, but historians estimate that as many as 5,000 people are buried in it. The cemetery is adjacent to Park Street Church, behind the Boston Athenæum and immediately across from Suffolk University Law School. It is a site on Boston's Freedom Trail. The cemetery's Egyptian revival gate and fence were designed by architect Isaiah Rogers (1800–1869), who designed an identical gate for Newport's Touro Cemetery.

Atlanta is the capital and most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia. With an estimated 2018 population of 498,044, it is also the 37th most-populous city in the United States. The city serves as the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area, home to 5.9 million people and the ninth-largest metropolitan area in the nation. Atlanta is the seat of Fulton County, the most populous county in Georgia. A small portion of the city extends eastward into neighboring DeKalb County.
Atlanta was originally founded as the terminating stop of a major state-sponsored railroad. With rapid expansion, however, it soon became the convergence point between multiple railroads, spurring its rapid growth. The city's name derives from that of the Western and Atlantic Railroad's local depot, signifying the town's growing reputation as a transportation hub. During the American Civil War, the city was almost entirely burned to the ground in General William T. Sherman's famous March to the Sea. However, the city rose from its ashes and quickly became a national center of commerce and the unofficial capital of the "New South". During the 1950s and 1960s, Atlanta became a major organizing center of the civil rights movement, with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph David Abernathy, and many other locals playing major roles in the movement's leadership. During the modern era, Atlanta has attained international prominence as a major air transportation hub, with Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport being the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic since 1998.
Atlanta is rated as a "beta(+)" world city that exerts a moderate impact on global commerce, finance, research, technology, education, media, art, and entertainment. It ranks in the top twenty among world cities and 10th in the nation with a gross domestic product (GDP) of $385 billion. Atlanta's economy is considered diverse, with dominant sectors that include transportation, logistics, professional and business services, media operations, medical services, and information technology. Atlanta has topographic features that include rolling hills and dense tree coverage, earning it the nickname of "the city in a forest." Revitalization of Atlanta's neighborhoods, initially spurred by the 1996 Summer Olympics, has intensified in the 21st century, altering the city's demographics, politics, aesthetics, and culture.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Hall,_West_Yorkshire
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) is an art gallery, with both open-air and indoor exhibition spaces, in West Bretton, Wakefield, in West Yorkshire, England. It shows work by British and international artists, including Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. The sculpture park occupies the 500-acre (200-hectare) parkland of Bretton Hall.
History
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, opened in 1977, was the UK's first sculpture park based on the temporary open air exhibitions organised in London parks from the 1940s to 1970s by the Arts Council and London County Council (and later Greater London Council). The 'gallery without walls' has a changing exhibition programme, rather than permanent display as seen in other UK sculpture parks such as Grizedale Forest.
Exhibition spaces
YSP has a number of settings where its collection is displayed.
Parkland
The park is situated in the grounds of Bretton Hall, an 18th-century estate which was a family home until the mid-20th century when it became Bretton Hall College. Follies, landscape features and architectural structures from the 18th century can be seen around the park including the deer park and deer shelter (recently converted by American sculptor James Turrell into an installation), an ice house, and a camellia house. Artists working at YSP, such as Andy Goldsworthy in 2007, take their inspiration from its architectural, historical or natural environment.
Since the 1990s, YSP has made use of indoor exhibition spaces, initially a Bothy Gallery (in the curved Bothy Wall) and a temporary tent-like structure called the Pavilion Gallery. After an extensive refurbishment and expansion, YSP has added an underground gallery space in the Bothy garden, and exhibition spaces at Longside (the hillside facing the original park). Its programme consists of contemporary and modern sculpture (from Rodin and Bourdelle through to living artists). British sculpture is well represented in the past exhibition programme and semi-permanent installations. Many British sculptors prominent in the 1950s and 1960s have been the subject of solo exhibitions at YSP, including Lynn Chadwick, Austin Wright, Phillip King, Eduardo Paolozzi, Hans Josephsohn, and Kenneth Armitage. Exhibitions tend to be monographic – rather than group or thematic.
The redundant Grade II* listed St Bartholomew's Chapel, West Bretton built by William Wentworth in 1744 has been restored as gallery space.
Longside Gallery
Longside Gallery is a space for sculpture overlooking YSP. The gallery is shared with the Arts Council Collection for an alternating programme of exhibitions. Between exhibitions, Longside Gallery is used for educational and outreach activities and events.
The Weston
In July 2019, the new visitor centre housing a gallery, restaurant and shop, made the shortlist for the Stirling Prize for excellence in architecture.
Bretton Hall is a country house in West Bretton near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England. It housed Bretton Hall College from 1949 until 2001 and was a campus of the University of Leeds (2001–2007). It is a Grade II* listed building.
History
In the 14th century the Bretton estate was owned by the Dronsfields and passed by marriage to the Wentworths in 1407. King Henry VIII spent three nights in the old hall and furnishings, draperies and panelling from his bedroom were moved to the new hall. A hall is marked on Christopher Saxton's 1577 map of Yorkshire.
The present building was designed and built around 1720 by its owner, Sir William Wentworth assisted by James Moyser to replace the earlier hall. In 1792 it passed into the Beaumont family, (latterly Barons and Viscounts Allendale), and the library and dining room were remodelled by John Carr in 1793. Monumental stables designed by George Basevi were built between 1842 and 1852. The hall was sold to the West Riding County Council in 1947. Before the sale, the panelling of the "Henry VIII parlour" (preserved from the earlier hall) was given to Leeds City Council and moved to Temple Newsam house.
The hall housed Bretton Hall College from 1949 until 2001 and was a campus of the University of Leeds from 2001 to 2007.
Plans to convert the hall to a hotel and offices were submitted for planning approval. and were approved in April 2013.
Architecture
The oldest part of the house, the south range dates from about 1720 and was designed by the owner, Sir William Wentworth and Colonel James Moyser. It was enlarged when the north range was added in the 1780s by William Lindley of Doncaster. A bow window and portico were added to the south range and the block linking the two ranges was remodelled between 1811 and 1814 by Jeffrey Wyatt for Colonel Thomas and Diana Beaumont. Around 1852 Thomas Richardson added the projecting dining room on the house's east front for Thomas Blackett Beaumont.
Exterior
The house has a three-storey nine-bay by five-bay main range while the rest is two storeys high. It is built in sandstone ashlar and its roof is hidden behind a balustraded parapet. It has tall ornamental chimney stacks and the Wentworth shield decorates two ornamental rainwater heads. The south range has a symmetrical facade with a central Doric portico. The ground and first-floor windows have 12-pane sashes with triangular pediments to the ground floor and cornices to the first. The shorter second floor windows have casements added later. The south front has a three-bay bow window with tall ground-floor windows. The centre window was originally a doorway accessed by a flight of four steps.
The seven-bay north range has a symmetrical facade where the three centre bays have giant pilasters supporting a pediment. Either side of central eight-panel double door are 12-pane sash windows while the first-floor has nine-pane sash windows. A three-bay link block joins the ranges and terminates in the orangery. The orangery is built on a two-step podium. Its seven bays are divided by square Tuscan piers which support the frieze, cornice and blocking course.
Interior
The entrance hall to the south range has a groin vaulted passage with three arches and piers and its walls are decorated with grisaille paintings. Its main staircase has a wrought iron handrail. On either side the old billiard room and former breakfast room have Adam style ceilings from about 1770. The link range has an entrance vestibule with four piers supporting a glazed dome on pendentives. On the first floor the vestibule opens onto the half-landing of the south range's main staircase. The old drawing room has a Baroque ceiling with pendant bosses. The former library and music room were in the Regency style of the 1811–14 extensions. The library had an apse where there was an organ, a coved ceiling with rinceau decoration, and a marble fireplace. The dining room was decorated in the Rococo style in about.1852. It has an elaborate marble fireplace and frieze and its ceiling is decorated with musical instruments.
Park and gardens
The pleasure grounds and parkland around the hall were the work of landscape gardeners Richard Woods in the 18th century and Robert Marnock, the estate's head gardener, in the 1820s and 1830s. The hall overlooks the River Dearne which flows in an easterly direction through the parkland. It is dammed to form two lakes. Oxley Bank, a linear earthwork forms the park's eastern boundary.
Within and around the Grade II listed parkland and pleasure grounds are several historic structures. Four lodges stand at the estate's main entrances. North Lodge and the grade II listed Haigh Lodge were probably designed by Jeffrey Wyattville at the same time as his 1811–14 extensions at the hall. Archway Lodge, a grade II* listed building by William Atkinson in 1805 takes the form of a giant archway with fluted columns. The extensively altered Hoyland Lodge is on Litherop Lane to the south. The redundant Grade II* listed St Bartholomew's Chapel, West Bretton built by William Wentworth in 1744 has been restored as gallery space.
The parkland is the home of the 224 acre (90 ha) Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the 100 acre (40 ha) Bretton Country Park which has been a designated local nature reserve since 1994. The development of accommodation and car parks for the college and multiple use as a country and sculpture park and general neglect in the second half of the 20th century led to the historic landscape's fragmentation and it was designated "at risk" by English Heritage in 2009. Yorkshire Sculpture Park is now responsible for most of the park and, in partnership with Natural England, who provided funding, and English Heritage, has a conservation management plan for the park. Trees and scrub have been cleared to provide access to a lakeside perimeter walk.

Ames High School class of 1978 40-year post reunion summary
The 40th reunion was so fun !! The class of 1978 is quickly becoming one of the most connected classes out of all the Alumni classes at AHS, as approximately 102 1978 classmates met and re-connected on Friday Sep 28 2018 at North Cyde restaurant in North Ames, Iowa.
Saturday, September 29 we all toured the High School then 100+ classmates met again later that evening at the American Legion on Main street for a banquet, group photos, a short program and then another wonderfully enchanted evening of re-connecting with old friends. It was so much fun to see classmates we had not seen for so long, in some cases not since AHS days 40 years ago. We all have journeyed 40 years to get back together again. Ever so special to have friends that span most, if not all of your life, especially after 40 plus years. Then we shed a tear and said our goodbyes and we hope to see you again soon, maybe in 5 years.
