the last man: a lone baiga inside the core area of the kanha tiger reserve in MP. the last two villages rol and jami were to be relocated out of the reserve when i was there in february 2010; most men were out searching for land in the neighboring areas.
Wiess Park, in Beaumont, is a small park with several huge live oak trees providing the generous shade of broad canopies.
Most folks seem to prefer to spell the park's name W e i s s.
Unfortunately, the park is also home to a monument to "Our Confederate Soldiers". The monument was relocated here from Keith Park in 1926. Keith Park clearly got the better end of the deal.
Secession Convention of Texas:
A declaration of the causes
which impel the State of Texas to secede
from the Federal Union
The government of the United States, by certain joint resolutions, bearing date the 1st day of March, in the year A. D. 1845, proposed to the Republic of Texas, then a free, sovereign and independent nation, the annexation of the latter to the former, as one of the co-equal States thereof,
The people of Texas, by deputies in convention assembled, on the fourth day of July of the same year, assented to and accepted said proposals and formed a constitution for the proposed State, upon which on the 29th day of December in the same year, said State was formally admitted into the Confederated Union.
Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the Confederated States to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquillity and secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people. She was received into the confederacy with her own constitution under the guarantee of the federal constitution and the compact of annexation, that she should enjoy these blessings. She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical position established the strongest ties between her and other slave-holding States of the confederacy. Those ties have been strengthened by association. But what has been the course of the government of the United States, and of the people and authorities of the non-slave-holding States, since our connection with them?
The controlling majority of the Federal Government, under various pretenses and disguises, has so administered the same as to exclude the citizens of the Southern States, unless under odious and unconstitutional restrictions, from all the immense territory owned in common by all the States on the Pacific Ocean, for the avowed purpose of acquiring sufficient power in the common government to use it as a means of destroying the institutions of Texas and her sister slave-holding States.
By the disloyalty of the Northern States and their citizens and the imbecility of the Federal Government, infamous combinations of incendiaries and outlaws have been permitted in those States and the common territory of Kansas to trample upon the federal laws, to war upon the lives and property of Southern citizens in that territory, and finally, by violence and mob law to usurp the possession of the same as exclusively the property of the Northern States.
The Federal Government, while but partially under the control of these our unnatural and sectional enemies, has for years almost entirely failed to protect the lives and property of the people of Texas against the Indian savages on our border, and more recently against the murderous forays of banditti from the neighboring territory of Mexico; and when our State government has expended large amounts for such purpose, the Federal Government has refused reimbursement therefor, thus rendering our condition more insecure and harassing than it was during the existence of the Republic of Texas.
These and other wrongs we have patiently borne in the vain hope that a returning sense of justice and humanity would induce a different course of administration.
When we advert to the course of individual non-slave-holding States, and that a majority of their citizens, our grievances assume far greater magnitude.
The States of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, by solemn legislative enactments, have deliberately, directly or indirectly violated the 3rd clause of the 2nd section of the 4th article of the federal constitution, and laws passed in pursuance thereof; thereby annulling a material provision of the compact, designed by its framers to perpetuate amity between the members of the confederacy and to secure the rights of the slave-holding States in their domestic institutions--a provision founded in justice and wisdom, and without the enforcement of which the compact fails to accomplish the object of its creation. Some of those States have imposed high fines and degrading penalties upon any of their citizens or officers who may carry out in good faith that provision of the compact, or the federal laws enacted in accordance therewith.
In all the non-slave-holding States, in violation of that good faith and comity which should exist between entirely distinct nations, the people have formed themselves into a great sectional party, now strong enough in numbers to control the affairs of each of those States, based upon the unnatural feeling of hostility to these Southern States and their beneficent and patriarchal system of African slavery, proclaiming the debasing doctrine of the equality of all men, irrespective of race or color--a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind, and in violation of the plainest revelations of the Divine Law. They demand the abolition of negro slavery throughout the confederacy, the recognition of political equality between the white and the negro races, and avow their determination to press on their crusade against us, so long as a negro slave remains in these States.
For years past this abolition organization has been actively sowing the seeds of discord through the Union, and has rendered the federal congress the arena for spreading firebrands and hatred between the slave-holding and non-slave-holding States.
By consolidating their strength, they have placed the slave-holding States in a hopeless minority in the federal congress, and rendered representation of no avail in protecting Southern rights against their exactions and encroachments.
They have proclaimed, and at the ballot box sustained, the revolutionary doctrine that there is a "higher law" than the constitution and laws of our Federal Union, and virtually that they will disregard their oaths and trample upon our rights.
They have for years past encouraged and sustained lawless organizations to steal our slaves and prevent their recapture, and have repeatedly murdered Southern citizens while lawfully seeking their rendition.
They have invaded Southern soil and murdered unoffending citizens, and through the press their leading men and a fanatical pulpit have bestowed praise upon the actors and assassins in these crimes, while the governors of several of their States have refused to deliver parties implicated and indicted for participation in such offences, upon the legal demands of the States aggrieved.
They have, through the mails and hired emissaries, sent seditious pamphlets and papers among us to stir up servile insurrection and bring blood and carnage to our firesides.
They have sent hired emissaries among us to burn our towns and distribute arms and poison to our slaves for the same purpose.
They have impoverished the slave-holding States by unequal and partial legislation, thereby enriching themselves by draining our substance.
They have refused to vote appropriations for protecting Texas against ruthless savages, for the sole reason that she is a slave-holding State.
And, finally, by the combined sectional vote of the seventeen non-slave-holding States, they have elected as president and vice-president of the whole confederacy two men whose chief claims to such high positions are their approval of these long continued wrongs, and their pledges to continue them to the final consummation of these schemes for the ruin of the slave-holding States.
In view of these and many other facts, it is meet that our own views should be distinctly proclaimed.
We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.
That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding States. By the secession of six of the slave-holding States, and the certainty that others will speedily do likewise, Texas has no alternative but to remain in an isolated connection with the North, or unite her destinies with the South.
For these and other reasons, solemnly asserting that the federal constitution has been violated and virtually abrogated by the several States named, seeing that the federal government is now passing under the control of our enemies to be diverted from the exalted objects of its creation to those of oppression and wrong, and realizing that our own State can no longer look for protection, but to God and her own sons - We the delegates of the people of Texas, in Convention assembled, have passed an ordinance dissolving all political connection with the government of the United States of America and the people thereof and confidently appeal to the intelligence and patriotism of the freeman of Texas to ratify the same at the ballot box, on the 23rd day of the present month.
Adopted in Convention on the 2nd day of Feby, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one and of the independence of Texas the twenty-fifth.

The standing portrait statue of General Charles Devens, designed by sculptor Olin Levi Warner in 1894, was dedicated at the Charles River Esplanade along the Hatch Shell Circle in 1986. The 7-foot tall bronze statue was commissioned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and was located at the Boston State House until 1950 before being relocated. Charles Devens was a Worcester lawyer, a major in the Union Army, and a judge. Marsh, Israels & Harder designed the base which was then carved by John Evans & Company.
Gorgeous late afternoon on the Military Ridge Trail yesterday. Not so much a steady bike ride, as a stop-and-start snake relocation ride. Little red-bellied snakes were everywhere. Some internal weather forecast must have told them cooler weather was on the way and this might be the last day to bask on their sunny clay and gravel blanket. Trouble is, they looked just like the numerous twigs that covered the trail, and they were sitting ducks (?) for speeding bicycles. We stopped and relocated four of the little critters, passed someone else in the process of snake relocation, and passed one little snake that, unfortunately, had been run over.

Santa Fe to Williams, 12 November 2017
We had a great time in Santa Fe, but I had to get back to work, so on Sunday, 12 November, it was time to start our trip home.
We were stopping off at the Grand Canyon on the way back. I had visited the Grand Canyon in 1982 and 1983, so it had been a while for me, and Anne had never been there.
On 12 November, we took Railrunner back Albuquerque and then Amtrak's Southwest Chief to Williams Jct., Arizona, the station nearest the Grand Canyon. ATSF used to serve Williams on its main line, but a line relocation around 1960 reduced grades and curves and moved the main line a little ways north of Williams. ATSF still had a line through Williams as their line to Phoenix continued to use the old main line to Ash Fork, the former junction with the Phoenix line. Williams was the junction of ATSF's Grand Canyon branch.
Our trip started on the 1020 am departure from Santa Fe, train 703, led by MP36 106. The trip to Albuquerque took an hour and a half, which would have left us with over 4 hours in Albuquerque until the Chief was due. We were planning to have lunch, but then what?
I half jokingly suggested to Anne that we ride the train all the way to the end of the line at Belen and then return. That would take another 1.5 hours and still leave us plenty of time to get lunch before the Chief was due. She had settled into her seat on Railrunner and decided that if she had to kill some time, riding the train was as good of a way to do it as sitting at the combined Greyhound and Amtrak station in Albuquerque. The extra charge to go all the way to the end of the line and back was $1 each, so it did not break the bank.
We got to see the country that we passed through in the dark on our way to Albuquerque. Beautiful, if desolate north of Albuquerque, greener south of there as the train follows the Rio Grande to Belen. We saw some bison at one point.
At Belen, a cut of BNSF units was crossing over on the main line next to the the Railrunner station as our train waited 15 minutes to return north.
Back in Albuquerque, we stashed our bags and went back to the same New York style pizza place where we ate a few days earlier. Good pizza and good beer.
An Amtrak P42 and Horizon coach were parked at the station. Not sure why they were there.
The Chief arrived early, shortly after we'd moved out to the platform to wait for it. We climbed on after a big crowd got off. It seemed to me that about half of the coach passengers get off in Albuquerque and a new batch gets on. The train only had 2 coaches and they were full. Amtrak could probably run another coach on this train in the off season ad still fill it.
The dining car dinner did not disappoint, even if we had to take a relatively early seating as that was what was left when we boarded. We were not yet famished, having eaten a fair bit of pizza for lunch.
The sunset was gorgeous, then the night was dark. We were on time into Williams Jct., where a van operated by the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel was waiting to pick us up.

Cadiz Court, the Barking borough's oldest tower block, built in 1963. It was the first high-rise building built under the then newly-formed Barking and Dagenham Council. The council have decided to demolish it and replace it with 54 affordable flats and houses.
The Council began to empty the 44-flat block in February 2005, and the last resident moved out in May 2006, some two years before demolishion began. The delay was caused because the flats had mobile phone masts on the roof which needed to be relocated!
The Argentine Rowing Club was the first rowing club in Tigre. Viewed from a riverboat tour through the Tigre Delta.
Rowing was introduced into Argentina by British immigrants in the 1870s. The first rowing clubs were in Buenos Aires. But Tigre was found to have optimum conditions for the practice of rowing. The yellow fever epidemic in Buenos Aires and the development of the railway network in the country were two factors that substantially influenced rowing clubs originally established in Buenos Aires to relocate in Tigre, where they moved beginning in 1888. In 1905, the six clubs then existing consolidated to form the Rowing Club Argentino. The club debuted in official regattas in 1908 and has had a distinguished competition history. The current Tudor-style social building of the club was opened in 1922.
Triax TD88 Galvanised Steel Satellite Dish & Pole Mount Fittings 88 cm
This satellite dish served me well when I worked abroad, and was big enough to get UK Sky signals from Eastern Europe! When I relocated back to the UK, the moving company took it down, packed it up and shipped it off to England with the rest of my stuff. I have no need for it in Hertfordshire and it's now merely taking up much needed space. Time to move it on to someone who can use it!
It's in exceptionally good condition, and this set of photographs on Flickr speak for themselves.
Finished in a light grey powder coating, these dishes feature a special "Fold-Up" boom arm for easy stowage, in the minimum of space. Exceptionally well suited for use with Motorhomes, Caravans, Narrowboats, etc. as it can be mounted easily on to a lightweight free-standing tripod stand. Conversely it can be attached to any vertical pole up to 2.5" in diameter. Unlike mesh steel dishes, this dish is of a solid format that not only improves reception, but is ideally suited to the rigours of packing and unpacking.
DESCRIPTION
Almost any dish can provide the signals needed to get a clear TV-picture. But will consumer satisfaction last, if signals deteriorate due to corrosion of the reflector or if the dish is damaged by a storm?
TD dishes minimize problems of any kind. Long-term corrosion is prevented by an extremely thorough anti-corrosive process and polyester coating. A solid construction of all parts, including the non-slip mast brackets, ensures that the dish remains in its correct position, when other dishes are torn down or twisted by a heavy storm. Mounted and adjusted in two minutes. Saving trouble and money is not only a long-term consumer benefit. TD dishes allow a substantial reduction in time used for mounting and adjusting:
• The elevation bracket is pre-mounted and is easily fixed to the mast with non-slip mast brackets
• A setting scale on the elevation brackets facilitates precise adjustment to the required satellite
• The pre-mounted feedarm just needs unfolding, and the LNB holder with the LNB is simply clicked on
Manufactured by Triax UK Ltd, the TD series of satellite dish antennas clearly stands out from all the other dishes on the market.

An emergency proposal to relocate 120,000 asylum seekers from Greece, Italy and Hungary to other EU member states will be put to a vote, as a matter of urgency, at 10.00 on Thursday. This recourse to the urgency procedure (Rule 154) was proposed by President Schulz and approved in a plenary vote at the opening.
"The current refugee crisis makes it absolutely necessary (...) to act swiftly", said Mr Schulz, backed by Civil Liberties Committee Chair Claude Moraes (S&D, UK), who invited MEPs ”to express European solidarity on the refugee crisis” in the vote on Thursday.

Artech Fine Art Services begin to move a section of the Chief William Shelton Story Pole out of the Capitol greenhouse to be loaded on to a truck that later transported it to a storage facility in Kent.

The cinder blocks used to build the houses are relatively narrow, but with good quality blocks with concrete poured through the holes and rebar, they are usually sufficient. However the blocks I saw stacked at construction sites and used in all of the fallen walls were crumbly when soaked with water suggesting they weren't made with enough cement.
