St Helen, Bishopsgate, London
1995 priest's doorway by Quinlan Terry.
Here we are amidst the Dubai-ification of Bishopsgate, and yet the west frontage of St Helen is rather pleasing in its little courtyard beneath the Aviva building. It is a different story to south and east, however, for although the Gherkin has created a focus for St Mary Axe, the peripherals of the space are messy and ill-considered, and beside St Helen the car park entrance has all the charm of the neglected bit of a provincial shopping centre. However, all this will go for the construction of the City's tallest tower, the Undershaft building, and the two lower storeys being left open will give St Helen and its near neighbour St Andrew Undershaft the chance to talk to each other for the first time in centuries.
Uniquely in the City, St Helen has a double nave, and this is because it was the church of a Benedictine nunnery, established here in the early 13th Century. There was already a parish church on the site, and a new nave for the sisters was built to the north of the parish nave. There was a major restoration in the early 17th Century which gave the exterior much of its current character, and the church was far enough north to survive the Great Fire. The Blitz also did little damage here, and St Helen might have continued being a pleasant if rather sleepy medieval survival among the office towers were it not for two significant events.
The first was the Baltic Exchange bombing on the night of 10th April 1992. A one tonne semtex and fertiliser bomb was exploded by the IRA immediately to the south-east of the church, its intention to cause as much damage to property as possible. In this it succeeded, for the £800 million repair bill to the City was almost twice as much as the entire repair bill for all the other damage caused by IRA bombs in the British Isles since the current spate of Troubles began in 1969. The south wall of the church was demolished, the interior blown out by blast damage. Repairs were already underway when the second event to shape the current church occured. On the morning of 24th April 1993, a Saturday, the IRA exploded another one tonne bomb, this time of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, on Bishopsgate, to the north-west of the church. Thus, the little church found itself exactly between the two largest terrorist bombs ever exploded on the British mainland. This time the west front was demolished, and blast damage took out all the windows and furnishings again.
The building's rebirth was very much a reflection of the character of its congregation. Unusually for the City, St Helen is very much in the staunch evangelical protestant tradition. The pre-1992 church had been full of the clutter of those resacramentalising Victorians, but controversially the architect Quinlan Terry was commissioned to design an interior more fitting for the style of worship at St Helen. Anti-modernist, anti-gothicist, anti-conservationist, Terry is an architect so far out of kilter with the mainstream of British design that it sometimes seems as if he is working in an entirely different discipline, running in parallel with the rest of the architectural world. Previously, his most significant church design was for Brentwood Catholic Cathedral, which has been described as having all the style, grace and charm of a shopping centre food court. It was never going to end happily, either for the conservation bodies or the City traditionalists.
Terry's reinvented St Helen is a preaching box for protestant worship. Memorials have been relegated to the south transept, and the rood screen moved across it to separate it from the body of the church. The two naves have been united in a cool, square, white space, the focus of the church turned to face the north wall. It is as if the Oxford Movement had never happened. And yet it is all done well, with that infuriating veneer of seemliness that so much of Terry's work conveys.
Well, you wouldn't want all medieval churches to be like this, but churches are constantly changing to suit the style of worship of the day, and so it seems fitting that St Helen should have been reinvented this way. Much of the outcry at the time must have been because the Bishopsgate bomb vaporised St Ethelburga, St Helen's near neighbour, a small surviving medieval church, and it was felt rather willful that another medieval church was being gutted by those who might have been thought responsible for saving it. Me, I'm not so sure. Church communities should have their head to design their churches to suit their current worship, otherwise we would not have the extraordinary accretion of historical artefacts that the great majority of England's 16,000-odd medieval churches now contain. St Helen is a good example of what can be done by people with passion and enthusiasm in the face of apocalyptic destruction. This was true after 1945, and it was true after 1993. Mind you, I'm not sure we'd have the confidence to do the same thing now.

The Neuropathy Trust Ltd was a registered charity established 1998 and based in Nantwich, Cheshire. The role of the charity was to raise awareness of “peripheral neuropathy and neuropathic pain’ both amongst the public and medical professions as well providing information and support to sufferers, but not direct medical advice. The Neuropathy Trust was wound down in 2014 and its role superseded by NeuINsight.
Neuropathic pain, as its name suggests, is pain arising from damaged nerves especially where the nerve’s myelin sheaths have been affected and it is estimate that 5% to 7% of the population within the British Isles are affected by it. The affected nerves can be anywhere in the body or peripheral nervous system and suffers tend to experience sharp, burning or shooting pains in various degrees of severity. In most cases, neuropathic pain is difficult to diagnose and its underlying cause often undetermined.
Traditional painkillers and oral analgesics tend to be ineffective in reducing neuropathic pain. A course of tricyclic anti-depressants taken over a prolonged period of time or powerful painkillers such as Gabapentin (Neurontin) or Tramadol taken over a short period of time are also known to be effective in reducing neuropathic pains. Other than that, some sufferers appear to respond well to alternative-medicine physical treatments and/or psychological counselling.
The badge depicts an American bald eagle and the Trust’s motto carpe diem (sieze the moment). Would anyone know for what purpose this badge was issued, was it for a fund collector, volunteer worker, etc?

Here we are on the peripherals of the Concours d'Elegance, and Bob and Matt are taking a test drive in the Jaguar XJ. This was an XK at their display. The video is available at www.sweetingmedia.com, and www.youtube.com/powerbrakeservice#p/u/5/rztGfndOtIg. The ride was smooth, the power was definitely there, and the interior was... well it was very nice! Personally I would go for the XK, because I'm not into the back of the roofline on the XJ, but I have nothing else bad to say about it.

About Power Brake Service:
We build and Rebuild endless varieties of new and classic brakes for every type of vehicle and trailer. The company was started by George Sweeting in 1950 who worked for the railroads and Lockhead, it is now run by his son Bob Sweeting who learned about modifying cars while drag racing in the 60's, and Bob's son Matt Sweeting (who grew up in all of this) is taking over more and more responsibilities. We were a Warehouse Distributor for Bendix for 20 years until they sold they sold their Power Brake Division to Bosch, which is when we became a special modification contractor with Bosch for their power brakes - which come on most new American vehicles. Our ability to design brake systems, rather than just replace rotors and pads, has taken us to amazing places and we have worked on amazing projects. We have:
Hydro-Boost Conversions
Vacuum Brake - Conversions, Upgrades, and Modifications
Wilwood and Brembo Disc Brake Kits
Master Cylinders
Stainless Braided Hoses
Classic Car / Muscle Car Stock Brake Restoration and Rebuilding (Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle, Mustang, Ford & GM Truck, Mopar, Rolls Royce)

Sometimes we need to extend or add more I/O ports to our microcontroller based project; the question is how fast the response we need for these new I/O ports. Because usually we only have a limited I/O port left than the logical choice is to use the serial data transfer method; which usually only required maximum one to four ports for doing the data transfer.
Currently there is few type of modern embedded system serial data transfer interface widely supported by most of the chip’s manufactures such as I2C (read as I square C), SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), 1-Wire (One Wire), Controller Area Network (CAN), USB (Universal Serial Bus) and the RS-232 families (RS-423, RS-422 and RS-485).

CERVICAL SPINE ANATOMY NERVOUS SYSTEMS DERMATOMES physical therapy artwork
Sensation from the skin is relayed along limb and trunk peripheral nerves to the spinal nerves that enter the spinal cord. The spinal cord then relays the sensation message to the brain and our awareness.
Each spinal nerve relays sensation messages from a particular area of skin. This skin area is called a dermatome, and each dermatome is named after the spinal nerve that carries its message. physical therapy artwork.
For instance the C5 dermatome on the shoulder uses the C5 spinal nerve near the base of the neck to relay its message to the brain.
There are seven spinal nerve pairs in the neck, called C2 to C8, which supply dermatomes on the head, neck and arms. This is useful to know as the sensation of pain in a dermatome may be due to irritation to the corresponding spinal nerve that is causing it to send a misleading message to the brain. For instance, compression of the C5 spinal nerve by a herniated disc or degenerative osteophyte in the neck can trigger in the brain the sensation of pain or numbness over the C5 dermatome at the shoulder.

I had collected sufficient anecdotal evidence that people approved of the new furniture configuration and that, as needed, they were making minor alterations as needed.
Thus I set my sights on the peripheral environment. I had been wanting to organize formally the organized chaos that was the random stacks of books on the shelves and the assorted posters on the common room walls. I was spurred to do this because the complaint that I had made about the common room's incoherent conditions on a postgraduate feedback form had been heard in fact by the administrators. When a staff member called me, I knew something could at length be done.
The problem with all the books on the shelves and the posters on the walls is that people have developed unspoken rules for why they are placed there; yet the consequences of their placement without regulation are obvious: while people can browse other people's refuse and find treasure in a pile of books that otherwise would be thrown out, this purpose is not explicitly stated: this tradition is passed on by word of mouth or by guesswork. In addition, since no other rules govern these piles, they grow to such heights that browsing the stacks become tedious: indeed, there comes a point at which a pile of loose books and articles grows to an unmanageable, unsearchable multitude. Looking at some of these items, dated from, even, a decade ago, their relevance has passed. They should no longer exist and should be thrown out. Unfortunately such a rule has not existed for their passing, yet.
This is where I, with the help of the research office, step in. I toured the premises with the administrator, pointing out this unbridled growth and concluding that the more these piles are able to grow unchecked, the less effective these piles become to users. She nodded and for the most part agreed with my assessment. She will follow up by asking the administration to perhaps develop rules for the timely disposal (and replenshiment) of the refuse literature. If possible, per my friend's suggestion, the next cycle of refuse books can be positioned upright for easier browsing by users.
While I was in a cleaning mood, I also asked the administrator to help me to clean up my office in 102 Hui Oi Chow. Like elsewhere in the building and on campus, this office serves an ancillary purpose in being a storage room for university, faculty, department and individual refuse. I pointed out to the administrator individuals' junk and university junk accumulating on shelves, by walls and in corners. The administrator promised to remove the excess equipment and furniture. I would do my part to clean up by asking people in the office to claim their excess belongings lest they be thrown out.
