================================
In response to the Congressional budget debacle which proved that DC is but a colony -- prone to being singled out unlike any other city in the country -- a number of activists, elected officials, and general citizens came out in force upon the grounds of Capitol Hill.
The crowd first formed on the sidewalk, but after some opening remarks by elected officials and activists: they quickly spilled into the street. The Capitol Police had been on hand & I'd thought it amusing that a couple were taking photos & videos... it wasn't until I saw the wristbands come out when I realised these weren't officers enjoying the moment; they were recording evidence.
With many minutes of warning, large portions of the group shifted over the sidewalk; whilst a core of dedicated supporters -- including our Mayor, a number of councilmembers, and members of DC Vote -- remained behind to block the roadway. The officers began to surround the group & repeated their warnings to get back on the sidewalk or face arrest.
Now in all fairness to the Capitol Police: they were doing their job. They were quite courteous about it & the protest was similarly jubilant right back. One woman was first to be bound, soon followed by several other activists. Then came Muriel Bowser: first councilmember to be arrested.
In general, I tend to dislike political grandstanding... but this was different. If our council was being arrested by our own police, I'd think it a cheesy photo op... but now our locally-elected officials were being arrested by the very forces we were out to protest: the Feds. This wasn't a mere photo op arrest; this was actually a legitimate arrest... the kind of thing that goes on your record; the kind of thing you spent a night in jail for.
Now granted, I don't expect anyone will be in jail longer than tomorrow; I'd be surprised if any were still locked up by midnight tonight. But it was Councilmember Bowser's arrest which really hit a moment... you could see the look on her face was of some worried concern: someone who had never been arrested before & didn't show up here today expecting to be arrested. As she was placed into the police van: her look of concern changed to a bit more worry. I mean this as no knock against Councilmember Bowser's committment; rather I felt it really help to humanise the entire event. It made me respect her all the more.
Yvette Alexander stood right beside us for quite some time, complicated in that she didn't have her ID on her. While it was entertaining to see our top officials being frisked, it was also quite entertaining that our easily-recognisable councilmember needed her ID... prompting a standerby to call one of her staffers with the best introduction I've ever heard over a phone: "Hi, your councilmember has been arrested." Also, kudos to Councilmember Alexander for going to jail in high heels!
There is a lot I can complain about with the council in general; and certainly with individual councilmembers & even the mayor. Heck, that's what politicians are for: you're not supposed to always like them. But this was an opportunity to set aside some of those issues (frankly, I'd say DC was glad to have a unifying moment after the past couple weeks) and cheer on our own brothers & sisters as they stood up in support of our rights.
It was certainly a proud moment to be a DC resident and a fine boost to our collective esteem after several weeks of turmoil within our local & federal levels of government. It's aggravating that my support for small & local government is inhibited by those in Congress whom advocate small & local government. If I wanted to live in a colony, I'd have moved to Williamsburg.

Taken on 7th July 2021.
Feliz 2010 para você cheio de saúde, paz, amor e presença de Deus para sempre e que todos os objetivos sejam realizados. Que Ele derrame ricas bênçãos na sua vida ea vida de sua família ... e eles vêm mais de 365 dias de vitórias e conquistas, se Deus permitir! Abraços!
The permit, Trachinotus falcatus, is a game fish of the western Atlantic ocean belonging to the Carangidae family. Adults feed on crabs, shrimp, and smaller fish. Two submarines of the United States Navy were named USS Permit in its honor, in keeping with the "denizens of the deep" theme of submarine names that prevailed before the 1971 naming of USS Los Angeles.
The permit's genus name, Trachinotus comes from a fusion of the Greek words trachys (τραχύς), which means "rough", and noton (νωτον), meaning "back." The species name for the permit, falcatus, is a Latin adjective, which roughly means "armed with scythes." This serves as a reference to the permit's dorsal fin that occasionally protrudes from the water when schools of permit feed near the surface
Permits can be distinguished by their elongated dorsal fins and anal fin. The dorsal fin is shaped like a scythe. Permit tails are also deeply forked, and their bodies are compressed laterally, making the fish tall and thin when viewed from the front.
The average permit has six to seven dorsal spines, and eighteen to twenty one soft rays. The anal fin has two to three spines, and sixteen to eighteen soft rays. Both dorsal and anal fins have dark, anterior lobes. Permits have no scutes and have a large, orange-yellow patch on their abdomens in front of their anal fins, while their pectoral fins are dark
Permit are usually found in shallow, tropical waters such as flats, channels, and muddy bottoms. They are usually seen as individuals or in small schools. Although permit are found close to shore and even in some brackish areas, they spawn offshore. Young Permit are found usually in the surf zone where there are plenty of small invertebrates for them to feed on.
Permit are found in the western Atlantic ocean from Massachusetts to Brazil, including most of the Caribbean islands.

Is this the only permitted photo of His Holiness the 14th Dalai lama in Central Tibet? It may be. I guess even the Chinese authorities thought destroying this image, from Tibet's first monastery, too much of a sacrilege.
Samye Monastery, Tibet's first monastery.
Wikipedia:
The Samye Monastery or Samye Gompa is the first Buddhist monastery built in Tibet, was most probably constructed between 775 and 779 CE[1] under the patronage of King Trisong Detsen of Tibet who sought to revitalize Buddhism, which had declined since its introduction by King Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century.
The monastery is located in Dranang, Shannan Prefecture. It was supposedly modeled on the design of Odantapuri monastery in what is now Bihar, India.

The title is a pun on the phrase ‘Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted’, famously quoted by William S Burroughs, who helped popularise cut-up culture. The evening included live performances by artists, musicians and poets who have creatively dissected, recycled and quoted. Including: Genre Collage the new live audio-visual set from People Like Us that collages film genres using well-known feature films; live improviser Gwilly Edmondez who uses voice, tapes, decks and samples; debut performance of Café Carbon by The Gluts (Gina Birch, Kaffe Matthews, Hayley Newman) and whirlwind wizard of the ivories Felix Kubin.

Catedral de Burgos. Trasaltar.
Nadie que visite esta Catedral puede permitirse la licencia de irse de ella sin haber contemplado las cinco joyas de arte que componen el trasaltar: las tres centrales particularmente, obras de Felipe Vigarny, componen el broche de oro de estos lujos de la piedra: “La Cruz a Cuestas”, “La Crucifixión” y “El Descendimiento y la Resurrección” son las tres escenas centrales de este conjunto de cinco retablos que compone el Trasaltar y cuya ejecución se inició el 5 de julio de 1497.
El primero de ellos, “La Oración del Huerto”, y el quinto, “La Ascensión”, son más recientes y datan de 1679. Fueron proyectados por el arquitecto Fernando de la Peña y ejecutados por uno de los escultores más famosos de la época, don Pedro Alonso de los Ríos. Todos ellos componen un verdadero conjunto de retablos pétreos o medallones como se les denomina habitualmente. Dos de estos han sido atacados por el mal de la piedra desde el año 1909; esto se debe a la humedad y a las sales que contiene este material.
Su construcción comenzó en el año 1221, siguiendo patrones góticos franceses. Tuvo importantísimas modificaciones en los siglos xv y xvi: las agujas de la fachada principal, la capilla del Condestable y el cimborrio del crucero, elementos del gótico flamígero que dotan al templo de su perfil inconfundible. Las últimas obras de importancia (la sacristía o la capilla de santa Tecla) pertenecen ya al siglo xviii, siglo en el que también se modificaron las portadas góticas de la fachada principal. La construcción y remodelaciones posteriores se hicieron con piedra caliza extraída de las canteras de la localidad de Hontoria de la Cantera.
Los elementos decorativos y el mobiliario litúrgico del interior pertenecen a variados estilos artísticos, desde el propio Gótico, el Renacimiento o el Barroco.
En la catedral se conservan obras de artistas extraordinarios, como los arquitectos y escultores de la familia Colonia (Juan, Simón y Francisco); el arquitecto Juan de Vallejo, los escultores Gil de Siloé, Felipe Vigarny, Rodrigo de la Haya, Martín de la Haya, Juan de Ancheta y Juan Pascual de Mena, el escultor y arquitecto Diego de Siloé, el rejero Cristóbal de Andino, el vidriero Arnao de Flandes o los pintores Alonso de Sedano, Mateo Cerezo, Sebastiano del Piombo o Juan Ricci, entre otros muchos.
El diseño de la fachada principal se relaciona con el gótico clásico francés de las grandes catedrales (París o Reims). Consta de tres cuerpos rematados por dos torres laterales de planta cuadrada. Las agujas caladas de influencia germánica se añadieron en el siglo xv y son obra de Juan de Colonia. En el exterior son sobresalientes también las portadas del Sarmental y la Coronería, góticas del siglo xiii, y la portada de la Pellejería, con influencias renacentistas-platerescas del siglo xvi. El alzado interior del templo toma como referencia a la Catedral de Bourges.
Dia 5 - 12/12/2008, sexta-feira.
Melissa, esperança. Douglas, exemplo.
“Caramba, meio-dia”. O sol refletia tão forte por detrás da cortina que eu imaginei ter perdido a hora, mas não, eram 7h da manhã. Logo pulei da cama e fui direto tomar um banho frio, pois o calor daqui lhe permite tomar esse tipo de atitude insana, que nem no verão do Rio. Sentia a água bater nos meus ombros e pensava sobre como foi linda a noite anterior com a apresentação do coral no parque. O espírito natalino fluia e colidia com o sereno que caia do céu. Mãos para o alto com os bastões iluminados, foi uma noite feliz. Noite Feliz foi a música que finalizou o espetáculo natalino que Blumenau fez e como jamais vi em nenhum outro lugar.
Saí do banho, chequei meus e-mail e fiquei satisfeito em saber que meu Diário foi destaque no clipping interno da empresa onde trabalho em São Paulo, na IBM, que tem mais de 12 mil funcionários no Brasil. Se eu conseguir tocar o coração de pelo menos 10 desses 12 mil funcionários, pra mim já justifica-se trocar boa parte da minha noite de sono o preparando. Dessas 10 pessoas, espero delas que reflitam sobre seus valores e sobre o tema Solidariedade, tão na moda no mundo de hoje, mas pouco colocado em prática de verdade.
Nove horas. Desço pra tomar um café-da-manhã reforçado e logo subo para escovar meus dentes e partir para mais um dia na Vila Germânica. Assim que chego lá, me deparo com aproximadamente 30 voluntários trabalhando no local. Na segunda-feira, dia 08/12, quando comecei meu trabalho, havia mais de 250 pessoas trabalhando no pavilhão. Essa turma está dando um exemplo de cidadania e garra. O trabalho é intenso e ninguém desanima, muito pelo contrário, parece que o desafio tornou-se maior, e todos ali estão na guerra de verdade, e para vencer. Precisamos de mais voluntários! O cansaço é visível nos gestos e olhares de cada um, em cada gota de suor que escorre pelo rosto e umidece a camisa. Enquanto parte do grupo trabalha, outra parte observa e descansa para repor as energias. “Água gelada, por favor”, grita algum dos voluntários, e vamos em frente, pois tem muito caminhão ainda chegando na Vila, e o melhor: hoje vi muito caminhão também saindo para os abrigos. No fim do dia, notei que os galpões estavam com menos donativos do que ontem, em especial a parte de alimentos. Como roupas e água são os itens que mais aparecem nos caminhões, esse estoque parece ter se mantido no mesmo nível dos últimos dias, o que quer dizer que as doações estão chegando a quem devem chegar! Confesso sentir uma maior satisfação ao carregar caminhões que estão levando doações do que descarregar aqueles que chegam com doações. Não que as chegadas de doações devam ser interrompidas ou tenham menos importância, mas é uma questão de pura satisfação pessoal, como se álguem estivesse falando no pé da sua orelha: “Leva logo isso, porque tem gente esperando!”.
Fiquei na dívida com vocês para esclarecer dois fatos: o primeiro refere-se ao motivo pelos professores da rede pública terem deixado a central de doações ontem. O segundo, trata-se do boato que correu sobre a necessidade de entregar o pavilhão da Vila Germânica nessa sexta-feira devido à realização de um evento no fim-de-semana.
Bem, quanto aos professores terem deixado a central, achei a justificativa hiper coerente. Devido à dificuldade com a logística na Vila Germânica, decidiram que grande parte dos caminhões partiriam para as escolas municipais e lá mesmo ocorreriam as triagens, o que resulta na redução do fluxo de doações a passarem pela triagem na central, que já está abarrotada de coisas, e assim agiliza o processo de entregas dos produtos aos desabrigados, já que os mesmos se deslocarão até essas escolas para buscarem os donativos. Achei uma ótima notícia.
Quanto à necessidade da entrega do pavilhão, isso, de fato, vai acontecer, porém, ainda sem data definida. Isso quer dizer que durante esse fim-de-semana muito trabalho ainda está pela frente. A necessidade de entrega do pavilhão é um tema muito polêmico por aqui, pois uns acreditam que seja importante liberar o espaço o mais rápido possível, uma vez que na Vila Germânica acontecem diversos eventos que resultam no aquecimento da economia local. Outros já pensam que é hora de dar prioridade às vítimas e deixar para resolver o problema da economia local mais pra frente. Bem, se perguntarem a minha opinião, ouvirão que acredito ser mais importante, nesse momento, a vida humana, que clama por comida, roupa e acolhimento, então eu acho que pelo menos até a próxima quarta-feira o espaço deve ser dedicado à central de doações. Mas, enfim, sabemos que existem muitas questões por trás, então prefiro não tornar o assunto mais polêmico do que já é. Finalizo meus comentários sobre esse assunto por aqui, mas lhes manterei atualizados sobre a questão.
Sobre o título do diário de hoje... “Melissa, esperança. Douglas, exemplo”.
Hoje conheci duas crianças que iluminaram o meu dia e me fizeram pensar sobre o valor da vida e a importância da solidariedade. Nós somos humanos. Ou a gente trata da gente ou o mundo logo, logo sofrerá com a extinção dessa espécie, pois não seremos capazes de sobreviver a catástrofes que já são esperadas pelos cientistas e pesquisadoras, como a falta d'água e de comida no planeta, por exemplo. Os nomes dessas crianças que imuminaram meu dia são Melissa e Douglas.
A Melissa é uma meninha de aproximadamente um aninho e poucos meses, a coisa mais fofa do mundo. Ela estava no colo de um rapaz e acompanhada pela sua mãe. Melissa é uma das vítimas das enchentes que caíram sobre Blumenau e estava lá à procura de donativos. Não resisti à emoção e pedi para tirar uma foto dela. Ela sorria e ficava doida para pegar a câmera da minha mão. Tirei a foto e a mostrei. Seus olhos brilhavam, enquanto os meus lacrimejam de emoção. Melissa me provocou um sentimento profundo de esperança.
O Douglas é um menino de 13 anos, morador de uma região de Blumenau que não foi atingida gravemente. Douglas é um exemplo para muitos adultos: como está de férias na escola, decidiu, por livre e espontânea vontade, que queria passar dias das suas férias ajudando como voluntário na Vila Germânica. O Douglas carrega caixas pesadas pra lá e pra cá e se diverte com tudo isso. A “brincadeira” preferida dele é o da fila indiana com as caixas de roupas. Ele ri, ele fala, ele quer participar, ele quer ajudar! Douglas é um exemplo pra você, Douglas é um exemplo pra mim. Pena que não há muitos Douglas por aí. Douglas não precisou parar de falar, ele simplesmente fez, antes mesmo de falar ou criticar qualquer coisa. Precisamos de gente que pare de falar e comece logo a fazer! É muita gente falando!!!
Amanhã nasce um novo dia. Que Deus proteja Melissa e Douglas, os heróis do nosso dia.
PS. Hoje tive a boa notícia que amanhã virão 250 voluntários de São Paulo para ajudar nos trabalhos, isso não é maravilhoso?

Roebling, Union, & N 10th street in Williamsburg Brooklyn, 11211 is a stalled development site. 3+ years ago the developer was permitted by the Department of Transportation of NYC in accordance with NYC Department of Buildings to secure the site with a corrugated steel fence that overlaps the sidewalk. People have to walk in the street for portions of this thoroughfare. As many stalled development sites as there are in Williamsburg, certain sites should be on a very short list for more acute attention btw inter city agencies. Not all stalled sites put public safety at such an exponentially increased risk. Until they have encroached into DOT territory can they be managed to a point to remediate the risk to near neutral for anyone walking, or riding by.
The problem is that work from DOT= spend money. But, since the DoB= make money, I think someone should get on it.
There's no incentive for any agency to do anything unless our paid public officials demand that this be a priority. It is a big public safety issue. Factor in the increased vehicle usage of those particular Avenues, post the one way Kent ave change. We are talking about Union Avenue and Roebling Street! Both are truck routes and speedways. Williamsburg/Greenpoint are the only neighborhoods in the 5 boroughs without a designated truck thru-route, as per the DOT map. We get so much needless truck traffic, on what are now purely residential streets.

All-For those of who walk to the L on Roebling, you've likely noticed the blocked off sidewalk on the south side of the street between North 9 and North 10. For at least two years, a construction fence has enclosed the sidewalk at this location. It presents an especially unsafe condition when there are trucks loading and blocking the sidewalk at the feather warehouse across the street. Pedestrians are forced to walk in the street to pass this block. From what I can tell, there seems to be no movement to develop the lot in question, so I am unclear how long this unsafe condition will exist or why it was created in the first place. I inquired about this to our council member Steven Levin, and was informed by his community liaison that I (and many others) should file complaints to 311.* That's where you come into play.
Filing a complaint to 311 takes about three minutes and can be achieved online (which is simpler than calling, in my opinion). Here are the steps:
Go to 311 online. nyc.gov/apps/311/allServices.htm?request Type=service&... there you can select “sidewalk blocked by construction” and insert (or modify) the following description: “a construction fence has enclosed more than half the sidewalk on Roebling. It is impossible to walk on this side of the street without walking in the street. There is a warehouse and loading dock opposite the site on Roebling, and large trucks often block the sidewalk. It is impossible to walk on this section of Roebling without entering the busy street. It's very unsafe.”
The site address is 236 North 10th Street.
From there you record your name (which is not required) and your email address.
The most important detail is to keep track of your service request number. Please send it to me, and I will share it with Levin's staff. The more complaints they receive, the more likely they are to address the unsafe condition.
If possible, please do so in the next few days because I plan to follow up with Levin next week.
Thanks.
Note: please send your 311 complaint # to meredithchesney1@mac.com
and I will send them on to people working on the issue.
Permitirme que os presente a una cámara -regalo de su propietario, fotógrafo de profesión, y gran amigo, hace la friolera de más de treinta años, cuando éste, ya mayor, decía adiós a las películas españolas y de otras nacionalidades, porque se retiraba- que me está acompañando hasta el momento actual y la cual la tengo, sobre un trípode, en mi escritorio, como una joya...Como algo que nunca quisieras perder... (Está en perfecto estado de funcionamiento) Quiero señalar, como anécdota, que una de las últimas fotos que se hicieron con ella, fueron las de la película "Las Petroleras", en el año 1971. Cuya parte de rodaje se hizo en la provincia de Burgos. Las actrices principales de la misa fueron Brigitte Bardot y Claudia Cardinale. Para mi satisfacción tengo en mi poder un gran reportaje de dicha película. En aquellos tiempos ser fotógrafo de "foto fija" en las películas, era todo un reto y no existián demasiados, porque era de máxima responsabilidad y sabiduría. Por desgracia, no fue mi maestro... No disponía de tiempo. EL ERA UN ARTISTA.

Templo del Señor del Calvario
La historia de El Señor del Calvario relata que en las paredes viejas y abandonadas de la Iglesia de El Calvario, en la parte de atrás partía un camino que daba a La Vega, la cual era campo de cultivo. A ese lugar acudía una señora que llevaba la comida todos los días a su esposo y en una ocasión escuchó ruidos en aquellos vestigios y un día se acercó para observar qué pasaba y vio a un anciano le pedía de comer y la señora amable le ofreció algo de comida.
Posteriormente, a la señora se le quedó la costumbre de pasar todos los días a dejarle alimento y después a su marido, y alguien por ahí le contó esto a su esposo, diciéndole que lo estaban engañando, pues todos los días, antes de llevarle a él sus alimentos, su esposa pasaba con el anciano.
Por lo que, un día, el esposo la vigiló y la siguió; cuando la señora entró a la casa abandonada, su esposo también entró, al ver al anciano se abalanzó contra él queriendo lastimarlo con su machete, en ese momento, la esposa hizo una invocación a Dios, entonces, de manera milagrosa, la imagen del anciano quedó plasmada en una pared y la canasta donde la señora llevaba los alimentos se convirtió en un cesto con flores.
En la actualidad, la pared sigue con la imagen de El Señor del Santuario plasmada sobre ella, es la original y está resguardada por unos muros, atrás de la Iglesia; incluso en una ocasión llegó un pintor a retocar la imagen, pero lo curioso es que la pintura se corrió, no permite que se pinte la imagen.
The things we do to get a different shot.

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District gave presentations to 120 third graders at Marshpoint Elementary about the Corps' Regulatory Program. Regulatory Specialist Brian Moore used an interactive floodplain model to demonstrate how wetlands absorb storm water and filter drinking water. He also explained the Corps of Engineers' role in issuing permits for developers or citizens who want to build projects on or near streams and wetlands. Regulatory Specialist Donald Hendrix showed the students a variety of animal items—snake skins, furs, deer antlers, and sharks teeth—to demonstrate the various animals and habitat within Georgia. The visit was part of a unit of study about Georgia's ecosystems, natural resources, and conservation efforts. USACE photo by George Jumara.

The first and only Haitian-owned airline to be awarded a Part 129 Operating Permit (Dominican Republic), Sunrise Airways (IATA: S6, ICAO: KSZ) is rising to meet the progressively expanding demand for safe, reliable, and affordable air travel throughout the Western Caribbean, operating daily scheduled passenger service connecting key gateways across the region with the world. From its hub in Port-au-Prince, the Haitian-owned carrier currently serves Santo Domingo (JBQ), Santiago de Cuba (SCU), and Cap Haitien (CAP), and new for 2016, Camaguey, Cuba (CMW). Additional new flights connecting Port-au-Prince with Kingston, Jamaica (KIN); Providenciales, Turks & Caicos (PLS); and Nassau, The Bahamas (NAS) are planned for 2016. In line with the expansion of its route network, Sunrise Airways will also augment its fleet in 2016, adding new 46-seat ATR 42-320 aircraft to serve alongside its pre-existing cadre of 19-seat Jetstream 32 EP turboprops. Headquartered in Port-au-Prince, Sunrise Airways is privately owned by noted Haitian businessman and philanthropist, Philippe Bayard.

The Province is modernizing BC liquor laws and cutting red tape for businesses by simplifying the application process for festivals, concerts and other cultural events.
Previously, only non-profit organizations could apply for a Special Occasion Licence (now Special Event Permit) and were responsible for liquor service at the event, even when it was organized by a third party.
This change allows businesses to apply for a Special Event Permit and accept liability for liquor service at the event. Removing the requirement for charities to be involved in the permitting process will cut red tape for event organizers.

Statement of Significance
What is significant?
Dennington Railway Bridge is a long single-track railway bridge of timber-beam on timber piers construction built in 1890 as an important component of the Warrnambool-Koroit section of the Terang-Port Fairy Railway. The bridge spans the Merri River immediately west of Dennington township in an area of open treeless farmland making the long low bridge visible from a considerable distance.
Completion of the Warrnambool-Port Fairy sections of the railway allowed the rapid transport of fresh fish and crayfish from the coast and potatoes and onions from the Koroit area via the Dennington Bridge to the metropolitan markets of Melbourne and Geelong. The section of railway line between Warrnambool and Koroit for which the Dennington Railway Bridge was created, was also a key link-section providing access to a wide-ranging network of western Victorian railways linked up through major railway-junction points at Koroit, Hamilton, Horsham and Ararat. From the 1890s the railways were able to provide more efficient transport than road haulage to coastal steamers and competition to the shipping of Warrnambool, Belfast and Portland, that had previously provided the far Western District's main freight links with Melbourne and the wider world. The section of rail line from Warrnambool to Port Fairy that includes the Dennington Railway Bridge closed in 1977.
Dennington Railway Bridge was constructed to a standard 15 feet (4.6 metres) span length and comprises forty-one spans, giving a total deck length of 188 metres. It was originally constructed to the in the Victorian Railways standard design of 1877 with two piles per pier, braced with stay-piles. The bridge was subsequently converted to its present four piles per pier through the addition of a longer cross head and two outer raked piers as part of a state-wide upgrade of railway bridges following the introduction of heavier and faster trains after 1900. In most bridges this upgrade resulted in the removal of stay piles however at Dennington the main stream section of the bridge retains an extensive and intact system of stay-piles on both the up and down stream sides of each four pile pier, thought to be the largest remaining set of stay piles in Victoria.
How is it significant?
Dennington Railway Bridge is of historic and scientific (engineering) significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
Dennington Bridge is of historic significance as a key component of the Terang-Port Fairy Railway, the final stage of east-west rail service connecting Geelong to Warrnambool and Port Fairy which, when completed in 1890, for the first time enabled the rapid and efficient transport of the agricultural and fishing produce from the far Western Districts to the metropolitan markets of Geelong and Melbourne.
Dennington Bridge is of scientific (engineering) significance to the state of Victoria in being the most intact surviving example of a large timber-beam rail bridge with an extensive system of stay-piles on either side of its main river-channel section. Dennington Railway Bridge with its deck length of 188 metres is also of significance as the fourth-longest surviving rail bridge built to the standard Victorian Railways fifteen-feet (4.6 metre) timber-beam-span design, developed in the 1870s. A small number of surviving early long timber railway bridges of this design include the bridge over the Wannon River on the Branxholme - Casterton line (1884, 293 metres); the Yarra Glen viaduct on the Lilydale Healesville line (1880s, 260 metres) and the Latrobe River overflow bridge on the Traralgon - Stratford line (1877, 242 metres).
The Dennington Bridge is of aesthetic significance at a local level for the contribution of the long low timber bridge to the rolling farmland landscape of the Western District.
The Philharmonic Dining Rooms in Liverpool, England is situated on the junction of Hope Street and Hardman Street, diagonally opposite the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Locally it is referred to as the Philharmonic Pub or simply the Phil. Designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas for the brewers Robert Cain & Company, it opened in 1898. The exterior is in the Art Nouveau style.
By the 1960s, the hotel had become a Liverpool institution. The Beatles used to go there, and John Lennon once complained that one of the prices of fame was "not being able to go to the Phil for a drink" [1].
The interior has dark wood-panelled walls with copper reliefs, Art Deco lighting and mosaic floor and bar. The main bar is highly decorated with glass grapes and a nearly life-sized golden eagle. As well as the main bar area, the pub also has the spacious Grande Lounge at the rear of the building, and two smaller drinking snugs named Brahms and Liszt. The Grande Lounge has just been restored to the way it was meant to be when the pub was first opened. The current dining room is located on the first floor.
The men's toilets are famous for their original, ornate marble urinals, Women are permitted to visit as part of organized tours.

Dia 5 - 12/12/2008, sexta-feira.
Melissa, esperança. Douglas, exemplo.
“Caramba, meio-dia”. O sol refletia tão forte por detrás da cortina que eu imaginei ter perdido a hora, mas não, eram 7h da manhã. Logo pulei da cama e fui direto tomar um banho frio, pois o calor daqui lhe permite tomar esse tipo de atitude insana, que nem no verão do Rio. Sentia a água bater nos meus ombros e pensava sobre como foi linda a noite anterior com a apresentação do coral no parque. O espírito natalino fluia e colidia com o sereno que caia do céu. Mãos para o alto com os bastões iluminados, foi uma noite feliz. Noite Feliz foi a música que finalizou o espetáculo natalino que Blumenau fez e como jamais vi em nenhum outro lugar.
Saí do banho, chequei meus e-mail e fiquei satisfeito em saber que meu Diário foi destaque no clipping interno da empresa onde trabalho em São Paulo, na IBM, que tem mais de 12 mil funcionários no Brasil. Se eu conseguir tocar o coração de pelo menos 10 desses 12 mil funcionários, pra mim já justifica-se trocar boa parte da minha noite de sono o preparando. Dessas 10 pessoas, espero delas que reflitam sobre seus valores e sobre o tema Solidariedade, tão na moda no mundo de hoje, mas pouco colocado em prática de verdade.
Nove horas. Desço pra tomar um café-da-manhã reforçado e logo subo para escovar meus dentes e partir para mais um dia na Vila Germânica. Assim que chego lá, me deparo com aproximadamente 30 voluntários trabalhando no local. Na segunda-feira, dia 08/12, quando comecei meu trabalho, havia mais de 250 pessoas trabalhando no pavilhão. Essa turma está dando um exemplo de cidadania e garra. O trabalho é intenso e ninguém desanima, muito pelo contrário, parece que o desafio tornou-se maior, e todos ali estão na guerra de verdade, e para vencer. Precisamos de mais voluntários! O cansaço é visível nos gestos e olhares de cada um, em cada gota de suor que escorre pelo rosto e umidece a camisa. Enquanto parte do grupo trabalha, outra parte observa e descansa para repor as energias. “Água gelada, por favor”, grita algum dos voluntários, e vamos em frente, pois tem muito caminhão ainda chegando na Vila, e o melhor: hoje vi muito caminhão também saindo para os abrigos. No fim do dia, notei que os galpões estavam com menos donativos do que ontem, em especial a parte de alimentos. Como roupas e água são os itens que mais aparecem nos caminhões, esse estoque parece ter se mantido no mesmo nível dos últimos dias, o que quer dizer que as doações estão chegando a quem devem chegar! Confesso sentir uma maior satisfação ao carregar caminhões que estão levando doações do que descarregar aqueles que chegam com doações. Não que as chegadas de doações devam ser interrompidas ou tenham menos importância, mas é uma questão de pura satisfação pessoal, como se álguem estivesse falando no pé da sua orelha: “Leva logo isso, porque tem gente esperando!”.
Fiquei na dívida com vocês para esclarecer dois fatos: o primeiro refere-se ao motivo pelos professores da rede pública terem deixado a central de doações ontem. O segundo, trata-se do boato que correu sobre a necessidade de entregar o pavilhão da Vila Germânica nessa sexta-feira devido à realização de um evento no fim-de-semana.
Bem, quanto aos professores terem deixado a central, achei a justificativa hiper coerente. Devido à dificuldade com a logística na Vila Germânica, decidiram que grande parte dos caminhões partiriam para as escolas municipais e lá mesmo ocorreriam as triagens, o que resulta na redução do fluxo de doações a passarem pela triagem na central, que já está abarrotada de coisas, e assim agiliza o processo de entregas dos produtos aos desabrigados, já que os mesmos se deslocarão até essas escolas para buscarem os donativos. Achei uma ótima notícia.
Quanto à necessidade da entrega do pavilhão, isso, de fato, vai acontecer, porém, ainda sem data definida. Isso quer dizer que durante esse fim-de-semana muito trabalho ainda está pela frente. A necessidade de entrega do pavilhão é um tema muito polêmico por aqui, pois uns acreditam que seja importante liberar o espaço o mais rápido possível, uma vez que na Vila Germânica acontecem diversos eventos que resultam no aquecimento da economia local. Outros já pensam que é hora de dar prioridade às vítimas e deixar para resolver o problema da economia local mais pra frente. Bem, se perguntarem a minha opinião, ouvirão que acredito ser mais importante, nesse momento, a vida humana, que clama por comida, roupa e acolhimento, então eu acho que pelo menos até a próxima quarta-feira o espaço deve ser dedicado à central de doações. Mas, enfim, sabemos que existem muitas questões por trás, então prefiro não tornar o assunto mais polêmico do que já é. Finalizo meus comentários sobre esse assunto por aqui, mas lhes manterei atualizados sobre a questão.
Sobre o título do diário de hoje... “Melissa, esperança. Douglas, exemplo”.
Hoje conheci duas crianças que iluminaram o meu dia e me fizeram pensar sobre o valor da vida e a importância da solidariedade. Nós somos humanos. Ou a gente trata da gente ou o mundo logo, logo sofrerá com a extinção dessa espécie, pois não seremos capazes de sobreviver a catástrofes que já são esperadas pelos cientistas e pesquisadoras, como a falta d'água e de comida no planeta, por exemplo. Os nomes dessas crianças que imuminaram meu dia são Melissa e Douglas.
A Melissa é uma meninha de aproximadamente um aninho e poucos meses, a coisa mais fofa do mundo. Ela estava no colo de um rapaz e acompanhada pela sua mãe. Melissa é uma das vítimas das enchentes que caíram sobre Blumenau e estava lá à procura de donativos. Não resisti à emoção e pedi para tirar uma foto dela. Ela sorria e ficava doida para pegar a câmera da minha mão. Tirei a foto e a mostrei. Seus olhos brilhavam, enquanto os meus lacrimejam de emoção. Melissa me provocou um sentimento profundo de esperança.
O Douglas é um menino de 13 anos, morador de uma região de Blumenau que não foi atingida gravemente. Douglas é um exemplo para muitos adultos: como está de férias na escola, decidiu, por livre e espontânea vontade, que queria passar dias das suas férias ajudando como voluntário na Vila Germânica. O Douglas carrega caixas pesadas pra lá e pra cá e se diverte com tudo isso. A “brincadeira” preferida dele é o da fila indiana com as caixas de roupas. Ele ri, ele fala, ele quer participar, ele quer ajudar! Douglas é um exemplo pra você, Douglas é um exemplo pra mim. Pena que não há muitos Douglas por aí. Douglas não precisou parar de falar, ele simplesmente fez, antes mesmo de falar ou criticar qualquer coisa. Precisamos de gente que pare de falar e comece logo a fazer! É muita gente falando!!!
Amanhã nasce um novo dia. Que Deus proteja Melissa e Douglas, os heróis do nosso dia.
PS. Hoje tive a boa notícia que amanhã virão 250 voluntários de São Paulo para ajudar nos trabalhos, isso não é maravilhoso?
