Navan –a palindrome.
The Hundred of Gilbert was declared in 1851 and John Hallett and Joseph Stirling bought several sections of land here in 1853 and named the locality after Navan in County Meath Ireland. This was excellent land in the Gilbert River Valley with the river flowing through their sections. They tried to establish a private town with 126 blocks. It grew slowly with a Post Office, a blacksmith, bootmaker, a Catholic school with 47 pupils and a Catholic church. The church was probably built in the late 1850s and a school existed in Navan by 1858 with 39 pupils. A general store opened in 1861 but it did not fare well and was up for sale in 1862. It reopened as Gluyas’ general store and was still operating with that owner who had the Post Office as well until he retired in 1875. He was still trying to sell it two years later. By then Navan was declining as the big town of Riverton with 5 stores overshadowed Navan. The arrival of the railway in Riverton in 1869 was probably instrumental in the demise of Navan which never got a siding although the railway was close to the town site. The cemetery was started in the mid-1850s with the earliest grave dated 1858. The Catholic Church was not well built and started to collapse in 1872 but was still in use until it was demolished in 1876, never to replaced. Although the Sisters of St Joseph used to walk to the Navan Catholic School from Tarlee beginning in 1864, the opening of the Catholic school reduced enrolments in the Navan licensed private school. The Navan Catholic School closed in 1871. Navan became a government school in 1878 and was closed in 1887 when a new school was built at Giles Corner known as the Merrindie School. The tiny town declined further and evidence of this is the selling of 77 town lots in 1874. They presumably went to local farmers to enlarge their paddocks. Nothing remains of Navan today. The charming mortuary chapel in the cemetery was built from the 18th March 1900 when the foundation stone was laid and blessed. It was built in memory of John O’Brien who is buried there as he had contributed £100 towards its construction. It was to be used for Masses on the first Sunday of the month and for services for some funerals. The Catholic Bishop sent an assistant to bless the foundation stone. There is a good sprinkling of Irish names in Navan cemetery as the district was named after Navan in Ireland. Names include: Brennan, Buckley, Burrows, Callery, Connell, Glynn, Hahasey, Hogan, Keelan, Kenny, McCarthy, McEvoy, McGahan, McInernery, O’Dea, Shannon etc. The roads of Navan township were returned to broad acre properties by the government in 1942.
I was wondering what I could use for Flickr Friday, and then I saw this in the card isle at the store.
Everyone knows what a Palindrome is so it stands to reason
that this shot was taken at Glenelg in South Australia.
A nice warm sunny day out with my infrared converted camera.
A power supply station cleverly graffitied as a carriage and even more cleverly drawing attention to 'Glenelg' being a palindrome.

He can’t stand noon, and he cannot do a good deed. He’s not on the level. He was walking down the street but had to close his ears when someone yelled at him, “Yo, Banana Boy!” He doesn’t care to watch the Indianapolis 500 because he dislikes any racecar. When needing money, he never asks himself, “Borrow or rob?” In short, he has aibohphobia, the fear of palindromes.”

How many palindromes can you find in this photo?
This photo was taken on the shoulder of the southbound Highway 30 in Highland or Redlands, California. (I don't know exactly where the city limits are.) There is another palindromic odometer here. I think this photo came out better than the first one I tried.

There is an article in the journal Nature about multiple palindromes: Abundant gene conversion between arms of palindromes in human and ape Y chromosomes. I have absolutely no idea what the authors are talking about.
Here is something interesting you can do by squaring numbers consisting only of the digits "1" (the products are all palindromes):
1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
The only palindromic year in the 21st century was 2002. If you type 2002 into a calculator and turn it upside-down, it will still read 2002.
A palindromic prime is a number that is simultaneously palindromic and prime. The first 17 (a base-10 prime number) base-10 palindromic primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, 373, 383, 727, 757, and 787.
10^150006 + 7426247 x 10^75000 + 1 is a 150007-digit palindromic prime.
In the April 1984 Scientific American "Computer Recreations" column, an article appeared about mathematical patterns (F. Gruenberger, Computer Recreations, "How to Handle Numbers with Thousands of Digits, and Why One Might Want To.", Scientific American, 250 [No. 4, April, 1984], 19-26.). Here's the algorithm:
1. Pick a number.
2. Reverse its digits and add this value to the original number.
3. If this is not a palindrome, go back to step 2 and repeat.
Do all numbers eventually become palindromes by this process? It was suggested that this is the case.
Most numbers become palindromes fairly quickly, in only a couple of steps:
13
1. 13 + 31 = 44
64
1. 64 + 46 = 110
2. 110 + 011 = 121
87
1. 87 + 78 = 165
2. 165 + 561 = 726
3. 726 + 627 = 1353
4. 1353 + 3531 = 4884
In fact, about 80% of all numbers under 10,000 solve in 4 or less steps. About 90% solve in 7 steps or less. A rare case, number 89, takes 24 iterations to become a palindrome. It takes the most steps of any number under 10,000 that has been resolved into a palindrome.
Does every number eventually become a palindrome? Nobody knows for sure, since it has never been proven. There are some numbers that do not appear to ever form a palindrome. The first one is 196. Such numbers are called Lychrels. The search to resolve this number has been referred to as the 196 Algorithm or the 196 Problem, but normally called the 196 Palindrome Quest.
The 20-digit number 10,200,000,000,065,287,900 solves after 257 iterations.
(The information starting with the paragraph about the April 1984 Scientific American issue and continuing to here is from a fascinating web page about the 196 Palindrome Quest.)
Not that it has a relation to the 196 Palidrome Quest, the 196th numerical palindrome is 9779.
I found a web site devoted to the 196 Palindrome Quest: http://www.p196.org/.
My favorite alphabetic palindrome is the sentence, "Do geese see God?" Most sentences like this don't make much sense.
