Founded in January 1835, in the then-fashionable Bowery section of Manhattan, St. Bartholomew’s began its life as part of the Evangelical movement in the Episcopal Church. Worship services were held in a plain church at the corner of Great Jones Street and Lafayette Place.
At first growth was slow, but by 1872 St. Bartholomew’s was large and prosperous enough to build a splendid new church at Madison Avenue and 44th Street. Designed by James Renwick, the architect of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the building was later embellished with a triple portal by Stanford White.
It was from the Madison Avenue pulpit that David H. Greer, called as rector in 1888, inspired the parish to become a major force for social welfare in the city. During the enormous immigration of the late 19th century, St. Bartholomew''s huge parish house on 42nd Street (built with the support of the Vanderbilt family), ministered to large numbers of the new arrivals, who lived in appalling poverty in the tenements of the East 40s and 50s. The parish house included a gymnasium, laundry, print shop, employment bureau, loan association, health clinic and social clubs. A chapel provided diverse forms of worship in several languages.
St. Bartholomew’s also began to be a force in the musical life of the city and the wider church. Under the leadership of organist Richard Henry Warren, a full choir of men and women became famous. Leopold Stokowski, who went on to a career as one of the great world conductors, was brought from Europe by St. Bartholomew’s to direct its choir.
In 1918, the parish moved to a new building on Park Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets. Serious structural problems had developed in the Madison Avenue building, and Bertram Goodhue was commissioned to design a new church. It was built in the Romanesque style, largely to provide a harmonious setting for the Stanford White portal, which was moved from the old building. As funds and materials were available, the interior was decorated in the Byzantine style, with major mosaics in the narthex and over the high altar.
In the 1920s, as the neighborhood changed, immigration slowed and tenements gave way to apartment houses and offices, the parish house and clinic on 42nd Street were closed. The present community house, adjoining the church at 50th street, was built during the tenure of Robert Norwood as rector (1925–32). A poet and prophet, Norwood was a dynamic preacher who brought large crowds to the church week after week. His interest in ministering to the growing number of young professionals flocking to the city led to founding the Community Club.
Well into the 1960s, St. Bart’s was one of the three or four largest congregations in the Episcopal Church. As its immediate neighborhood changed from primarily residential to corporate and commercial, the parish ministry increasingly reached out to the community and non-members. The music ministry included more public concerts, and St. Bartholomew’s took the lead in midtown in beginning a substantial ministry to the poor. Currently, a homeless shelter operates every night of the year, a soup kitchen serves a hot breakfast to 400 people twice each week, and a Food Pantry supplements the diets of those who are hard pressed to prepare adequate meals on their minimal incomes.
In 1981 a real estate developer offered a plan to build an office tower on the site of the adjacent community house, ensuring a financial endowment of the church''s mission and maintenance. Conflict developed within the parish and between the church and the city over the designated landmark status of the building. In the ensuing years of battle, St. Bart’s became synonymous with the very real issues between the religious community and the historic preservation movement, and with the attendant constitutional questions. The case tortuously worked its way, over eleven years, to the Supreme Court, which in 1991 declined to hear St. Bartholomew’s appeal of the Second Circuit decision.
The congregation paid a heavy price for the battle. Half the membership left, and charity and relationships were strained. The existing financial problems deepened. Maintenance on the building was deferred.
An exciting renewal is now underway. Attendance and membership are growing. We have affirmed the sacred function of the space and the mission of the church. Financial giving is beginning to rise. Deficits are being cut. The Center for Religious Inquiry draws New Yorkers from all faith backgrounds to learn about our increasingly diverse world. The Great Music series and the Summer Festival of Sacred Music, along with the renowned St. Bartholomew’s Choir and the magnificent Boy & Girl Choristers, are proud heirs to the legacy of Stokowski. The popular and successful Café St. Bart’s (on our outdoor terrace in warm weather, inside the community house in winter) offers daily food and hospitality. Community Ministry continues St. Bartholomew’s Church''s more than 200-year-old commitment to the poor and hungry. Service schedules have been expanded and enriched. Attendance and membership are increasing. In 2005, the rector and vestry announced an ambitious capital campaign, to ensure St. Bart’s physical spaces continue to welcome believers and seekers for generations to come. The Spirit of the Lord and of the Lord’s people is being felt all around.
Flixbus (Skyway Coach Lines) 9620: 2006 Prevost H3-45 (ex Groupe Intercar) on schedule 2701 Windsor-London-Hamilton-Toronto
Family, friends and fellow North Carolina National Guard (NCNG) Soldiers gather to say farewell to the 382nd Public Affairs Detachment (382nd PAD) during a ceremony at the Claude T. Bowers Military Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, May 9, 2018.
The 382nd PAD is scheduled to deploy to Europe later this Spring in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve.
Capt. Ellis Parks, the commander of the 382nd PAD said his goal is for his unit to return home safe and as better Soldiers.
“I want to make sure return home safely and upon their return have stories to tell,” Parks said. and to make sure they improve upon the skills they have now.”
This will forever be my best accidental shoot. I was scheduled to shoot with another model but she cancelled shortly before the shoot. I thought I would have a free afternoon when boom - I get a message from Brittany wanting to shoot. She needed some time to do her hair and makeup and an hour later we were shooting on an absolutely great Fall day. Brittany claimed she had only done one other photo shoot (a school project where she was covered with balloons since she was the smallest person in class). To me Brittany is a natural in front of the camera and she kept making me laugh. Quite a beautiful young lady - I can't wait to shoot with her again!
I took these photos in October 2018 at the Boise Train Depot.

Village Ð Alikia, Block-Chandanpur CHS, Dist-Puri, Odisha, INDIA..Shakuntala sethi, Lady Health Supervisor (LHS) prepares to start vaccinations to chldren and their mother after Purnachandra Sabata, 44, an autorickshaw driver, delivered cold chain boxes of vaccines to Anganwadicentre. Every Wednesday, Purnachandra Saba, delivers boxes of vaccines to anganwadi centres.Immunization is one of the most cost effective public health interventions, preventing around 2 million child deaths each year worldwide, and IndiaÕs Immunization Program is the largest in world with respect to the quantity of vaccines used and the number of beneficiaries. Here, Routine Immunization (RI) saves the lives of 400,000 children annually. In OdishaÕs 30 districts and 314 blocks, it is not easy for health workers to reach a population of 4.1 crore. With 30% of the areas difficult to reach, 22% tribal population, 48% people in the BPL category and 17% schedule cast population, Odisha has been one of the most challenges states for them in terms of geography and demography. Despite these odds, during 2013-14, the state provided immunization services at a cost of Rs 30 crore to 8,54,619 children between 0-1 years and 9,40,081 pregnant women to prevent seven diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, measles and Hepatitis B. In addition, vitamin A is also administered to children. The current level of full immunization coverage is 62.3% for children (AHS 2011-12), officials say. Since 2009, the program has manifested itself in the Teeka Express, where participation of civil society, NGOs, porters, rickshaw drivers and volunteers strengthen the vaccine delivery logistics. This system has been implemented in 280 out of the 314 blocks of the state, and has reduced vaccine shortage, improved vaccine quality, improved timeliness of reporting, ensured regularization of immunization in hard to reach areas and improved immunization waste management..

Davis, Starlight, SF, BART, Commutes, San Jose, 12 Feb 1974
Lincoln's Birthday was school holiday in 1974, and a friend and I took advantage of the day off to take a trip to San Francisco.
BART has recently started running and we wanted to have a first ride on BART, and we also wanted to record the SP's commute operations at Third and Townsend Street station, which was in its last year or so of operation before being replaced by the station at 4th Street that Caltrain still uses. Fairbanks-Morse power was also in its last year or so on Southern Pacific and we wanted a ride behind a big H-24-66.
So, before dawn, we were at the Davis station waiting for #11 to come down the West Valley line. (For Amtrak's first 10 years or so, the Coast Starlight turned north at Davis, bypassing Sacramento and Chico, but saving an hour or so on its Oakland-Oregon schedule. This was in keeping with SP's practice from the days when their trains were seen as through Oakland-Oregon services and Sacramento passenges could connect at Davis by local train, bus or car.) The Davis arrival and departure board still showed the train as the Cascade, but had changed the northbound number to 14 instead of the Cascade's 12.
We must taken the Starlight to Oakland and the connecting bus to San Francisco as the BART transbay tube did not open for passengers until later in 1974. We seem to have ridden BART from Montgomery Street to Daly City and back. We then walked down 3rd Street to the SP station.
SP's 3rd and Townsend Street station was completed in time for the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition and was intended to be a temporary facility. Temporary wound up being 60 years. By 1974, it was showing its age and the fact that SP had lost interest in passenger service earlier than most western railroads. Amtrak had moved the last intercity passenger train that served San Francisco, the Coast Daylight, over to Oakland and combined it with SP's Cascade and a BN pool train to create the Seattle-LA Coast Starlight, leaving 3rd and Townsend a commuter only station. Ridership on the commutes was stagnant, SP was losing money and not inclined to spend more on a money losing operation, but the state Public Utilities Commission would not allow SP to cancel the service.
As 3rd and Townsend was past its "best before" date, plans had been made to build a new station a block south at 4th Street and the new interlocking tower for the new station had been built. Construction would soon start on 4th St. station and when it was ready, 3rd and Townsend would be demolished. Today you could stand where I did to shoot these photos and not recognize anything except for some of the track looking south photos.
The weather was rainy part of the day, but cleared toward afternoon. We wandered around the station area, shooting arrivals and departures during the day and the commute parade lining up for departure. We shot some commutes departing, then boarded one, led by F-M 3022, that would get us into San Jose in time to catch the Coast Starlight back to Davis.
I got a few shots at San Jose, then must have decided that shots of the Starlight would not be worth it as it arrived well after dark.
The was the first of quite a few around the bay trips I've taken by train over the years, sometimes going and coming on the Starlight, these days, more likely on the Capitol Corridor. Pretty much everything has changed as far as trains and equipment, other than the original BART cars still soldiering on. The Capitol Corridor was undreamed of in 1974, and it would be 11 years before Caltrain would replace the SP equipment on the commutes.

Reasons for Designation
An enclosure castle is a defended residence or stronghold, built mainly of stone, in which the principal or sole defence comprises the walls and towers bounding the site. Some form of keep may have stood within the enclosure but this was not significant in defensive terms and served mainly to provide accommodation. Larger sites might have more than one line of walling and there are normally mural towers and gatehouses. Outside the walls a ditch, either waterfilled or dry, crossed by bridges may be found. The first enclosure castles were constructed at the time of the Norman Conquest. However, they developed considerably in form during the 12th century when defensive experience gained during the Crusades was applied to their design. The majority of examples were constructed in the 13th century although a few were built as late as the 14th century. Some represent reconstructions of earlier medieval earthwork castles of the motte and bailey type, although others were new creations. They provided strongly defended residences for the king or leading families and occur in both urban and rural situations. Enclosure castles are widely dispersed throughout England, with a slight concentration in Kent and Sussex supporting a vulnerable coast, and a strong concentration along the Welsh border where some of the best examples were built under Edward I. They are rare nationally with only 126 recorded examples. Considerable diversity of form is exhibited with no two examples being exactly alike. With other castle types, they are major medieval monument types which, belonging to the highest levels of society, frequently acted as major administrative centres and formed the foci for developing settlement patterns. Castles generally provide an emotive and evocative link to the past and can provide a valuable educational resource, both with respect to medieval warfare and defence and with respect to wider aspects of medieval society. All examples retaining significant remains of medieval date are considered to be nationally important.
The defensive function of the promontory overlooking the harbour mouth at Dartmouth continued after the abandonment of the enclosure castle. From 1481 when the chain tower was built, a series of defensive works were constructed on the site and each reflects changing military tactics and strategies. Chain towers are small structures built beside a river or harbour to house the end of a defensive chain of the mechanism for raising and lowering it. Harbour chains were intended to protect estuaries, harbours, and the river mouths from attack from the sea; they were laid from bank to bank and would normally rest on the bottom of the channel, being raised to the waterline when under threat. One end of the chain would always have a tower or building to house the lifting mechanism; the other end could have a similar structure, or a simpler means of fastening the end of the chain. Chain towers were usually, but not always, strongly constructed and capable of being defended, and these were built of stone. They are always situated near the water's edge and accommodation was only for short term use of the chain operators and garrison. Only five chain towers are known to survive in England and every example of this rare class of monument is considered of national importance. The series of more recent defensive structures are all situated on the site known as the Old Battery. Here a sequence of well preserved batteries and other structures were built and remodelled between the 16th century and 1941. Little is known concerning the character of the earlier defences and what survives is a 19th century Royal Commission fortification. The Royal Commission fortifications are a group of related sites established in response to the 1859 Royal Commission report on the defence of the United Kingdom. This had been set up following an invasion scare caused by the strengthening of the French Navy. These fortifications represented the largest maritime defence programme since the initiative of Henry VIII in 1539-40. The programme built upon the defensive works already begun at Plymouth and elsewhere and recommended the improvement of existing fortifications as well as the construction of new ones. There were eventually some 70 forts and batteries in England which were due wholly or in part to the Royal Commission. These constitute a well defined group with common design characteristics, armament and defensive provisions. Whether reused or not during the 20th century, they are the most visible core of Britain's coastal defence systems and are known colloquially as `Palmerston's follies'. All examples are considered to be of national importance.
Details
This monument includes a medieval enclosure castle, mansion, chain tower, and post-medieval coastal battery situated on a rocky peninsula protruding into the entrance to the Dart estuary. The enclosure castle is Listed Grade I and is believed to date from the 14th century when a series of documents indicate that various local gentry were commissioned to construct a fort to defend Dartmouth harbour. The castle is believed to have taken the form of a ring of towers connected by a curtain wall, which was entered through a rectangular stone gate tower. Two lengths of curtain wall standing about 12m high and 2m wide, a circular tower and a substantial rock cut moat are visible, although the other towers and lengths of the curtain wall may survive as buried features. The character of the seaward defences and the buildings erected within the enclosure is not known. Documentary and antiquarian sources, however, confirm that there was a substantial domestic building within the castle enclosure, which at times has been referred to as a manor house and mansion. This building was built by the Carew family who were the lords of the manor of Stoke Fleming. Their building is no longer visible but will survive in the form of buried remains. A flight of steps leading into the remaining curtain wall tower is considered to be contemporary with the mansion and may have been inserted to make it into a garden feature or lookout tower. The chain tower is Listed Grade I and includes a circular stone tower (a part of which may have formed a section of the original enclosure castle) onto which a square tower was added during the building work. The round tower was built first of large rubble, mostly limestone. Work stopped before the round tower was completed and the square tower was built beside it. The stones used here are different in size and almost entirely composed of slate. Ultimately this material was used for the upper portions of the round tower when the two parts were completed together. The chain tower is a three storeyed building with an entrance leading directly to the ground floor. The replacement floor within the square room is 1m higher than the original. This room was probably used for defence and accommodation. Eleven small, splayed, square openings facing the sea may have been used for hand guns. Most of the other openings in this room are probably later. The three large openings facing the river are considered to have been for cannon and may have been inserted in the second part of the 16th century. The other two lower openings may belong to the late 17th century. The floor within the round tower has not been replaced, though this room also has several openings for musketeers. A large opening in the seaward side of this room is the hole through which the chain, which stretched across the harbour mouth, passed over a roller. The marks of successive slots for the axle of the roller can be seen in the jambs. The chain seems to have been hauled in by means of ropes, with the aid of a capstan or two wheels on an axle. The housing may have been in the holes in the back wall of the room. The internal layout of the tower is not known, although clearly it may have varied through time as military practices and customs changed. Within the basement there are seven ports for guns in the walls facing the sea. They are considered to be the earliest surviving examples of this type of gunport in England. They are rectangular and splayed internally to allow a degree of traversing for the gun within the external opening. Shutters were provided on the outside, hinged on one of the jambs. The fireplace at the back of the room in the square tower suggests that men may have been quartered there; in the 19th century this part was used as a guardroom, though in later years it became a coal store. Within the round tower are four musket openings and three gunports. The gunports were inserted through the existing masonry and indicate that they were an afterthought in the defence design. In later years this room was converted into a gunpowder storage area. The first floor room is considered to have been the main living quarters. There may originally have been one large room in the square tower, perhaps a common hall. The fireplace at its back has the remains of an oven in one side which suggests that cooking was done here. The windows in this room, though primarily designed to provide light, could also have been used to discharge muskets at an enemy. In later years this floor was divided up into at least three rooms. Leading from this floor and built into the body of the wall is a spiral staircase which gave access to the roof. The parapet surrounding the roof space was crennellated to provide protection for the defenders. Sometime after the original construction, the parapet on the landward side was heightened to provide greater security against a landward attack and to protect the entrance below. On the southern side of the roof space is a two storeyed turret which must have served as a lookout point. The chain tower is flanked on both sides by gun platforms. The southern gun platform was designed for three guns whilst that to the north is capable of providing a base for five. The surviving openings in the platform walls (embrasures) are 18th century remodellings. In them now sit cast iron guns of the 17th-19th centuries, all mounted on reproduction garrison gun carriages. These artillery pieces were recovered from Dartmouth Quay where they were being used as bollards. The chain tower forms part of a series of defensive positions built from the latter part of the 15th century to protect the important natural harbour at Dartmouth. Documentary evidence suggests that building of the chain tower began in 1481 and was modified between 1509-1547 to take artillery. An iron chain was stretched across the estuary from this tower to a cliff near Gommerock, where there is a hole in the rock for fixing the chain. When raised, this chain would have prevented shipping passing through to Dartmouth Harbour. In 1491 and 1492 four watchmen were employed, the hawsers and winding cable were purchased and the chain itself, which was probably stolen some years earlier from Fowey, was being maintained. The coastal battery at Dartmouth, known as the Old Battery, is Listed Grade II* and is a 19th century artillery fort built on the site of earlier 16th and 18th century fortifications. In its present form the Old Battery is a small two tier work of 1861. The guns on the upper tier were in open embrasures on a level space behind a rampart, whilst the guns in the lower tier are in three bomb proof vaulted chambers built into the thickness of the ramparts (casemates). The upper tier included two embrasures and provision for latrines, side arms and magazines. The building now used as the ticket office was built on top of the western embrasure in around 1940 to provide shelter for a 4.7 inch gun. The eastern embrasure has not been significantly altered and now contains one of the cast iron guns issued to Dartmouth in the 1890s. It is a 64 pounder rifled muzzle-loader converted from a smooth bore piece in 1874 and mounted on a reproduction traversing siege carriage. The three casemates lie immediately below the upper tier and behind them are the magazines and a lighting passage. Artillery pieces have been placed in each of the casemates for presentation purposes, although only the 64 pounder in the western casemate was part of the battery's armament. The magazines in which the ammunition was stored were separated from the casemates for safety reasons, with the shells being issued through hatches. Lighting for the magazines was provided by a lighting passage which was added in 1868. The magazine lamps were serviced from and vented into this passage, away from the magazines. The lanterns shone through glazed hatches and thus lit the magazines but avoided the danger of direct flames or sparks. The final main area within the Old Battery is the guardhouse which was entered from the upper tier and includes two separate rooms. The smaller room was the officer's quarters and the other the guardroom. Ammunition for the upper battery was brought up through hatches in the floor of the guardhouse. Three holes in the floor situated immediately above the main entrance to the battery are murder holes for defending the main door against attackers approaching the battery from the rear down an incline. The detailed history of the Old Battery is known from a series of military documents. The first specific mention of a gun battery on the site is in 1545 when Lamberd's Bulwark is referred to. The only description of this battery was made by a Spanish spy in 1599 who described it as a bastion of earth with six or eight pieces of artillery. The bulwark may have been modified during the English Civil War, during which time the castle saw action for both sides. In 1690 in response to a threat from the Dutch the battery was rebuilt in stone and provided with a new guardhouse and magazine. There then followed a period of neglect but in 1747 it was again remodelled as a two tier stone battery for 12 guns. In 1861, a perceived threat from the French resulted in the building of the surviving coastal battery, whose plan was determined to some extent by incorporating part of the earlier stone fort and resulted in the squinted gun ports which are considered a unique feature. Excluded from the scheduling are the modern road and path surfaces, the tea rooms, the timber public shelters, the public lavatories, the 19th century lighthouse, signposts, telephone kiosk, the artillery pieces except for the two 64-pounder rifled muzzle loaders and the flag pole, though the ground or masonry below these features is included. Important archaeological deposits lie within the churchyard and under St Petrox Church, but these are not included within the monument because they come under ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

Saying thank you, please, excuse me
Makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom
Someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait 'til you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now
I thank you NOT to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew
Would appreciate
Take a bite
Maybe two
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate

You're grounded until your 36
Get your story straight
And tell the truth for once for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff
Would you jump too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before that
You're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straight when you walk
A place for everything
And everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Get your PJs on
Get in bed
Get a hug
Say a prayer with Mom
Don't forget
I love you
**KISS**
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because

I said so
I said so
I said so
I said so
I'm the Mom

Fold your clothes
Put your stuff away
Make your bed
Do it now
Do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn?
Would you like some hay
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone
Get Off the phone
Don't sit so close
Turn it down
No texting at the table
No more computer time tonight
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up
Where you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me
Makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom
Someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait 'til you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now
I thank you NOT to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew
Would appreciate
Take a bite
Maybe two
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, Get the door
Don't get smart with me
Get a Grip
Get in here I'll count to 3
Get a job
Get a life
Get a PhD
Get a dose of...
I don't care who started it
You're grounded until your 36
Get your story straight
And tell the truth for once for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff
Would you jump too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before that
You're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straight when you walk
A place for everything
And everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Get your PJs on
Get in bed
Get a hug
Say a prayer with Mom
Don't forget
I love you
**KISS**
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because
Because
Because
Because
I said so
I said so
I said so
I said so
I'm the Mom
The mom

Second and, unfortunately, final version of Saab's compact executive car. The 9-3 appeared in 1998 as a replacement of the legendary 900 model; it was replaced by the second generation in 2002, though the hatchback body style was dropped in favour of a saloon, an estate, and a cabriolet. The car pictured is an estate from the second phase of this generation, appearing in 2007 with revised styling up front. The model was scheduled to be replaced at the end of 2012; however, due to the global financial crisis, General Motors divested of Saab and, in the absence of capital investments, the brand shut down in 2011.
Here are two handy guides to help you determine if your child’s teeth are erupting according to schedule. A good time for your child to make his or her first dental visit is 1 year of age, or 6 months after the first tooth erupts in the mouth.
Sketching in the canteen at Preston Bus Station which is scheduled for demolition as the Council says it is too expensive to maintain and an old building.
My surgery has been scheduled for December 6th. yay!
Aetna approved a fusion and one disc and we will pay out of pocket (GRRR!) for the second disc (assuming Dr. B. can pry the vertebrae apart far enough to get the second one in). I go down to Philly on the 27th for pre-admission testing, and to donate a pint of blood. We’re hoping that Tyler will be able to observe the surgery and maybe (if he doesn’t pass out!) take some photos during the procedure.
I'm working on a blog entry now, and will have many more details after the 27th.
The following announcement was made by the Glasnevin Cemetery Trust :
Oct 24, 2008 – Work commenced today on a new €12 million [roughly $15 million US dollars] museum and visitor centre located at Glasnevin Cemetery. The state of the art building is scheduled to be completed by spring 2010 and will house an underground museum and over 1.5 million archived burial records compiled since the Cemetery opened 176 years ago in 1832. The innovative project, which is being funded entirely by the cemetery owners and operators, Glasnevin Cemeteries Group, is to complement ongoing restorative work at the Cemetery which began in May 2007 under the direction of the Office of Public Works (OPW).
The Glasnevin Cemetery Visitor Centre, which has been designed by award winning architects A & D Wejchert, will encompass 1,900 sq metres (20,300 sq. ft.) of facilities and will be over spanned by a curvilinear roof. The part of the building will include an innovative underground museum, “The Crypt”, located under the information centre in the original culvert or drainage system which predates the Cemetery. The pipes and vats of the drainage system will be visible through a glass floor in the Crypt Museum.
The underground museum will include:
Genealogy Services: Facilities to view and search manually or via touch screen all 176 years of archived records exceeding 1.5 million burials. These records details of the burials of Daniel O’Connell, founder of the Cemetery, Charles Stewart Parnell, Michael Collins, and many other people who have shaped Irish history. The “Poor Ground” records of Famine, Cholera and Small Pox epidemic victims and records of children interred in the “Angels Plots” will also be available through the genealogy services.
Exhibition Space: The museum will be designed so that visitors can walk through exhibition areas and interactive displays on Ireland’s varied and turbulent past. Proposed exhibitions for this space include:
Daniel O’Connell – “The Liberator”
The 1916 rebellion
Foundation of the Modern Irish State
Famine, Cholera, smallpox, pestilence outbreaks
Speaking at the commencement of construction works, the Chairman of the Glasnevin Cemeteries Group, Mr John Greene said: “The Glasnevin Cemetery Visitor Centre will be a user-friendly and informative tourist destination that will deepen the nation’s understanding of Ireland’s modern history while respecting our primary role as a place of rest for the deceased.” He added: “The centre will also provide much needed facilities such as a restaurant and indoor seating areas for people who wish to visit the graves of their loved ones. Indeed we are confident that such comforts will lead to an increase in the number of people visiting the graves of families and friends.”
As part of the ongoing restorative work in association with the OPW the Glasnevin Cemeteries Group are integrating with the Botanical Gardens and Tolka Valley Linear Park to create a verdant green park of over 200 acres. When combined, this will create the second largest green space amenity in Dublin City after the Phoenix Park.
The Museum will also provide new and improved facilities for the visiting public and staff at the cemetery. The ground floor will contain visitor information points, a restaurant and public facilities along with family rooms. The first floor will house conference rooms, exhibition areas, The Daniel O’Connell lecture hall, Glasnevin Cemeteries Committee boardroom, staff offices and facilities.
Tuesday 08 July 2014 - Day 09 - Quishuar (3,740m / 12,270ft) - Tupatupa Pass (4,374m / 14,350ft) - Jancapampa (3,673m / 12,050ft)
Bed tea was scheduled for 7am, but I was up and about (packing) half an hour earlier. Today we were moving on from Quishuar to pastures and vistas new.
Granola and Gloria strawberry yoghurt made another tasty breakfast, followed by sandwich making and a visit from the old lady who'd been brought to the clinic yesterday, bent double by arthritis but still living in a farmhouse high up in the hills above Quishuar.
Luis and Augustin packed up the tents and we piled up kit bags, watched by the village school children who were slowly congregating in the playing fields.... with the natural consequence that more photos were taken. With a bit of a delay due to transport complications (aka the promised donkeys and medical horse didn't turn up) and farewells to Juan and Michael who were walking the old lady home, we set off.
Beautiful blue skies above as we crossed the Rio Huercrococha and walked upstream towards the Blanca, before taking a last look at the Lucma valley and turning right into the wider valley we'd seen yesterday, with its own winding stream and scattering of farms. Kiswar bushes (after which the village of Quishuar is named) lined sections of the path, and occasionally we found ourselves strolling through woods of Quenual (paperbark) trees.
Easy walking up the valley, trying to beat the clouds to the snowy peaks of Nevado Pukahirka / Pucajirca Sur (6,039 m / 19,813ft) - we managed it, just. Wonderful views. Lots of photos.
As the clouds gathered, we turn away from the Cordillera Blanca, for a tougher stretch walking uphill over grassland to the Tupatupa Pass (4,374m/14,350ft). Lovely views over rolling hills and long valleys, but under gloomy skies. We lunched at the pass and waited for Melky, Augustin, Luis, Amner and the donkeys. Melky arrived first, carrying his new fishing rod - a present from Dave. Christine and I headed uphill (getting to about 4,400m / 14 440ft) to see if we could get a better view of Pukahirka - which we did, together with more peaks and ridges, snow and glaciers, glacier-scoured rocks and glacier-fed waterfalls. Definitely a pass to return to under cloudless skies.
I took it slow on the steep downhill section from the pass, partly for the knees, partly for the views - the clouds were starting to lift and the snow shone brightly in the sunlight.
Our destination was one of the farm on the hills above Jancapampa, and from high above we could see our tents being put up, and dark clouds gathering over the ridges on the far side of the valley and the glaciers rolling down from Nevado Pukahirka / Pucajirca Central (6,014m / 19,731ft). Strolling through farmland we passed fields of beautiful blue flowers and the familiar 'lupins', which turn out to be chocho beans.
Arriving in camp about 2.30pm, we settled into our tents - after three nights in Quishuar I'd got my camp craft down to a fine art - and pottered around the campsite, watching the flocks of sheep and goats being herded home for the day, shepherdesses spinning as they went. The farmhouses we were camping near had gardens of colourful flowers enclosed in stone walls.
Tea and popcorn in the tent, with diary writing and Scrabble accompanied by the sound of an occasional patter of raindrops on the canvas, and the long low rumble of avalanches from above. Later in the afternoon we were visited by the family from the farm and a local trained nurse who looks after a disabled orphan.
Superb dinner: soup (always!), squash curry (surprise ingredient: strawberry jam to temper the chilli), tinned peaches. I'm afraid I wimped out of joining Val and the crew at the fiesta held at the farmhouse in honour of Val's visit. The music played on pipe, harp and drum provided the soundtrack to sleep after a satisfying day of proper peaks. Not so sure what tomorrow will bring weatherwise....
Not so many barking dogs tonight, but heavy rain and a rooster at 4am instead.

Reactors 5 and 6 were under construction at the time of the accident.
Reactor No. 5 was about 70% complete at the time of the accident and was scheduled to start operating on November 7, 1986.
And reactor 6 was scheduled to be completed in 1994.
After the accident, construction work on reactor 5 and 6 was soon stopped but resumed again on the 10th October 1986. Six months later on the 24 April 1987 work was once again halted and on May 23 1989 the decision was made not to complete the reactors.
Picture: Crane standing on the south side of reactor 5, with the cooling tower for reactor 5 in the background.
Construction progress after one year. This bridge is part of a new connecting road from Bad Ragaz to Valens. The opening is scheduled in the year 2017. Switzerland, Aug 17, 2014.
A Reason to Smile, a life-scale bronze and aluminum sculptural tableau, was cast by Seward Johnson in 2004. Johnson chose to transform the experience, in total, of viewing Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. By creating a backdrop, a front wall, two French guards and a frame, he plays with the elements of the third dimension, allowing visitors to enter the picture frame and pose, side by side with the subject of the painting.
Seward Johnson: The Retrospective was scheduled to be on exhibition at the Grounds For Sculpture from May 4 to September 21, 2014 but due to overwhelming popularity, was extended through July 2015. The exhibit presents an overview of the New Jersey sculptor's 50-year career through a lifetime collection of over 150 of his works. In its first month on exhibit, the park attracted 30,000 visitors—nearly 20 percent of its normal annual attendance.
Grounds For Sculpture is a 42-acre sculpture park and museum located on the former site of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds in Hamilton Township. The grounds, which feature over 270 large scale contemporary sculptures, were founded in 1992 by John Seward Johnson II.

A few months back, I was told about the ruined church in Sittingbourne, but due to COVID I did nothing about it. But as we would be in the area to revisit Borden, I sought out All Saints and noted its position and even used GSV to scout it out, or the area as it was hidden behind trees.
We arrived in the area, driving through a industrial estate/retail park; a network of wide roads criss-crossing with lorries parked up, litter piled up at the sides of warehouses and so on.
It seemed the most unlikely area to find a Medieval church.
And the area really didn't change that much until we came to a roundabout, and to the right was the part I had seen on GSV.
We parked beside the road, and through the gate which had been demolished by a stolen car, I guess, there was the church, or what was left of it, a single side chapel, all boarded up and looking forlorn.

Sited on the Murston side near the banks of Milton Creek stands this little historic gem set in a green oasis of calm and serenity.
The Murston Heart project is the working title for the innovative project to preserve, restore and secure the future of the beautiful 14th Century Chancel of Murston Old Church and its grounds.
Murston All Saints Trust (MAST) the holding charity’s vision is to bring back this scheduled monument to the heart of the community by creating a creative community hub on the site. This will include exhibition space in the chancel and a new building in the corner of the churchyard containing studios, a café and wcs.
2020 update: We now have planning permission and scheduled building consent and funding in place to undertake both the building work and a programme of activities with a couple of local schools. Covid-19 permitting we hope to commence work on site in October

MURSTON.
THE next parish westward from Tong is Murston, usually called Muston, which takes its name from its vicinity to the marshes.
The PARISH is almost all of it situated on the north side of the high Dover road, to the left of the hill next beyond Sittingborne, a very small part of it only extending southward of the road, where, near the boundaries of the parish is the parsonage, with the glebe belonging to it, and the only small wood within it. It extends northward across the marshes and salts, as far as the waters of the Swale, which separates the main land from the Isle of Shepey. The village is situated midway between the London road and the marshes, and the church and court-lodge at no great distance from it. The parish contains about one thousand acres of land, of which about thirty are wood. Its situation is most unpleasant as well as unhealthy, even in the highest grounds of it, but the greatest part lying so exceeding low and watry, enveloped by creeks, marshes and salts, the air is very gross, and much subject to fogs, which smell very offensive, and in winter it is scarce ever free from them, and when most so, they yet remain hovering over the lands for three or four feet or more in height, which, with the badness of the water, occasions severe agues, which the inhabitants are very rarely without, whose complexions from those distempers become of a dingy yellow colour, and if they survive, are generally afflicted with them till summer, and often for several years, so that it is not unusual to see a poor man, his wife, and whole family of five or six children, hovering over their fire in their hovel, shaking with an ague all at the same time; and Dr. Plot remarks, that seldom any, though born here, continuing in it, have lived to the age of twenty-one years. This character of unhealthiness extends to the neighbouring parishes on the northern side of the road, which, however, is not peculiar to this county, as all other parts of the kingdom in a like situation, are subject to the same satality. The lands in this parish, like those of Tong and Bapchild before-described, are very rich and fertile for corn, and there is some good hop-ground in it; was it not for this prospect of gain, and high wages given for the hazard of life itself, these situa tions would probably be nearly deserted of inhabitants, but this temptation draws them hither in preference to the healthy country among the poor and barren hills, but a few miles distance from them.
In Frid wood, southward of Murston parsonage, and likewise in the neighbourhood of Faversham, there are several hollow caves dug in the ground, much like those at Crayford, mentioned in the second volume of this history, p. 266, which seem to have been hiding places in the time of the Saxons, where the inhabitants secured their wives, children and effects, from the ravages and cruelty of their enemies.
A small part of this parish, consisting of some acres of arable and wood, lies at some distance from the rest of it, entirely surrounded by the parish of Luddenham, several other parishes intervening; it seems formerly to have been of some account, and in antient records to have been mentioned by the name of the manor of Herst-hall, in Herst; part of it in Bizing wood belongs to the glebe of this rectory.
The MANOR, after William the Conqueror had seized on the bishop of Baieux, his half-brother, for his seditious and turbulent behaviour, in the year 1084, with his other estates became confiscated to the crown, after which the king granted this manor to Hugh de Port, who held it of the king in capite by barony, as of the castle of Dover, by the tenure of castle guard for the defence of it, of him and of his descendants, the St. John's, this manor was again held by a family which took their name from their residence at it.
Bartholomew de Murston is in the list of those Kentish gentlemen, who assisted king Richard I. at the siege of Acon, in Palestine; and his descendant John de Murston held it in the reign of king Edward III. in the 20th year of which he paid aid for it, as one knight's fee.
But before the end of the next reign of Richard II. this family was become extinct here, when Walter, lord Fitzwalter, was become the possessor of it, whose descendant Walter, lord Fitzwalter, likewise possessed it in the reign of king Henry VI. bearing for his arms, Or, a fess between two chevrons, gules.
He seems to have alienated this manor to Sir William Cromer, lord mayor in the years 1413 and 1423, and he died possessed of it anno 1433. After which this manor continued in his descendants in like manner as Tunstall before-described, till it came with that manor, by a female coheir, in marriage to John, eldest son of Sir Edward Hales, of Tenterden, knight and baronet. In whose descendants this manor continued down to Sir Edward Hales, bart. of St. Stephen's, near Canterbury, (fn. 1) who sold it some few years since to Rebecca, the widow of Sir Roger Twisden, bart. of Bardbourn, and she is the present possessor of it. (fn. 2)
East-HALL is an estate in this parish, which was once accounted a manor. It was in early times possessed by a family which assumed its surname from it; one of whom, Joane de Easthall, is recorded in the leiger book of Davington priory, as having been a good benefactor to the nuns there, in the reign of king Henry III. After this name was extinct here, it came into the possession of the De la Pines, who bore for their arms, Sable, three pine apples, or. One of whom, James de la Pine, was sheriff of Kent in the 26th, and part of the 27th years of king Edward III. and died possessed of this manor in the 37th year of that reign, then holding it of the king in capite, by the tenth part of one knight's fee.
His son and heir Thomas de la Pine, about the beginning of king Richard II.'s reign, conveyed this manor to Thomas St. Leger, second son of Sir Ralph St. Leger, of Ulcomb, who resided at Otterden. He left a daughter Joane, who marrying Henry Aucher, esq. of Newenden, entitled her to the possession of it. She survived him, and afterwards married Robert Capys, to whom Henry Aucher, esq. her only son and heir by her first husband, in the 19th year of Henry VI. confirmed a life-estate in East-hall and other places.
From him it passed into the name of Eveas; for Humphry Eveas was found by inquisition to die possessed of the manor of Esthall in the 32d year of king Henry VI. as did his son John Eveas in the 4th year of king Henry VII. and was buried with his wife in the north chancel of this church. His wife Mildred, daughter of Bartholomew Bourne, seems to have survived him, and afterwards to have married Lewis Clifford, esq. of Bobbing. She died in the 20th year of king Henry VII. possessed of this manor with its appurtenances, in the parishes of Murston, Tong, Bapchild, and Elmele, held in capite by knight's service. At length her grandson, Humphry Eveas, dying in the 27th year of Henry VIII. leaving four daughters his coheirs, one of them Alicia, carried it in marriage to Thomas Hales, whose son Christopher Hales, in the 5th year of Edward VI. alienated it to Sir Anthony Aucher, of Otterden, who the next year passed it away by sale to Thomas Gardyner, and he, in the 10th year of queen Elizabeth, transmitted it by sale to Mr. John Norden, who in the 17th year of that reign, levied a fine of it; and afterwards alienated it to William Pordage, esq. of Rodmersham, in whose descendants it continued till it was at length sold to Iles, by a daughter of which name it went in marriage to Hazard, from which name it passed into that of shard, and thence again to Seath, in which it still continues, Rich. Seath, esq. being the present owner, who resides in it.
MERE-COURT is an estate in this parish, once esteemed a capital mansion, and seems to have been so named from its low watery situation, near the marshes; for it does not appear to have had any owners of that surname.
Thomas Abelyn held this manor in the reign of Edward I. in the 4th year of which he died, holding it of the king in capite. His grandson Thomas Abelyn, at length succeeded to it, and left his widow Isolda surviving, who, in the 21st year of that reign, married Henry de Apulderfield, which being without the king's leave, he paid his fine, and had then possession of his wife's land here and elsewhere.
¶This manor afterwards came into the possession of the family of Savage, of Bobbing, one of whom, Sir Arnold Savage, of Bobbing, died possessed of it in the 49th year of king Edward III. anno 1374. His grandson of the same name dying s. p. his sister Eleanor became his heir, she married William Clifford, esq. and entitled him to this estate, among the rest of her inheritance, and in his descendants it probably continued till it was alienated to Crosts, whose descendant Mr. Daniel Crofts died in the 22d year of queen Elizabeth, leaving one son John, and two daughters, Helen and Margaret, and they, upon the death of their brother, who was an ideot, becoming joint heirs to this estate, sold it, in the 42d year of that reign, to Mr. Stephen Hulks, (fn. 3) whose descendant Mr. Nathaniel Hulks dying without issue male, devised it by will to his two daughters and coheirs, Mary and Anne; the former of whom carried her part of this estate in marriage to Mr. John Austen, of St. Martin's hill, near Canterbury, who died possessed of it in 1770. She survived her husband, and again became entitled to this share of Mere-court in her own right, and afterwards, by the death of her sister Anne, who died unmarried, to her share of it likewise, of both which she died possessed in 1781, since which it has been sold by her heirs to Mr. John Lemmey, the present owner, who now resides in it.
Charities.
WILLIAM HOUSSON, gent. gave by will in 1783, for the instruction of poor children of this parish, Tong, and Bapchild, the interest to be equally divided between them in money, 200l. vested in the 4 per cent. consolidated annuities, trustees the incumbents of the three parishes, now of the annual product of 10l. 13s. 6d.
The number of poor constantly relieved are about eighteen; casually about fifteen.
MURSTON is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sittingborne.
The church, dedicated to All Saints, is a large building, of three isles and three chancels, having a square tower, with a wooden turret, in which are three bells.
The advowson of Murston was always an appendage to the manor, and as such continued in the same owners, till Sir Edward Hales, bart. sold it to Thomas Leigh, clerk, rector of this parish, whose son the Rev. Egerton Leigh, likewise rector, died possessed of it in 1788, and his heirs are now entitled to it.
It is valued in the king's books at 10l. 14s. 2d. the yearly tenths of which are 1l. 1s. The value of it is now computed to be about two hundred and sixty pounds per annum. In 1578 there were forty-two communicants, and ten houses in this parish.
There are about forty acres of glebe land, the greatest part of which lie in Bizing-wood, near Ospringe, entirely surrounded by Luddenham.

The site is now in the care of the English Heritage charity, as both a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Medieval History
The original castle was built by the Peverel family in the 12th century and became Crown property in 1155 when William Peverel the Younger died. The Ferrers family who were Earls of Derby laid claim to the Peveril property.
When a group of barons led by King Henry II's sons – Henry the Young King, Geoffrey Duke of Brittany, and Prince Richard, later Richard the Lionheart – revolted against the king's rule, Henry spent £116 on building at the castles of Bolsover and Peveril in Derbyshire. The garrison was increased to a force led by 20 knights and was shared with the castles of Peveril and Nottingham during the revolt. King John ascended the throne in 1199 after his brother Richard's death. William de Ferrers maintained the claim of the Earls of Derby to the Peveril estates. He paid John 2000 marks for the lordship of the Peak, but the Crown retained possession of Bolsover and Peveril Castles. John finally gave them to Ferrers in 1216 to secure his support in the face of country-wide rebellion. However, the castellan Brian de Lisle refused to hand them over. Although Lisle and Ferrers were both John's supporters, John gave Ferrers permission to use force to take the castles. The situation was still chaotic when Henry III became king after his father's death in 1216. Bolsover fell to Ferrers' forces in 1217 after a siege.
The castle was returned to crown control in 1223, at which point £33 was spent on repairing the damage the Earl of Derby had caused when capturing the castle six years earlier. Over the next 20 years, four towers were added, the keep was repaired, various parts of the curtain wall were repaired, and a kitchen and barn were built, all at a cost of £181. From 1290 onward, the castle and its surrounding manor were granted to a series of local farmers. Under their custodianship, the castle gradually fell into a state of disrepair.
Post-medieval
Bolsover castle was granted to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, by King Edward VI in 1553. Following Shrewsbury’s death in 1590, his son Gilbert, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury, sold the ruins of Bolsover Castle to his step-brother and brother-in-law Sir Charles Cavendish, who wanted to build a new castle on the site. Working with the famous builder and designer Robert Smythson, Cavendish’s castle was designed for elegant living rather than defence, and was unfinished at the time of the two men’s deaths, in 1614 and 1617 respectively. Accounts survive for building the early stages of the "Little Castle." Unusually for this period female labour was recorded, and the women's names or husband's names are given.
The building of the castle was continued by Cavendish’s two sons, William and John, who were influenced by the Italian-inspired work of the architect Inigo Jones. The tower, known today as the 'Little Castle', was completed around 1621. Construction was interrupted by the Civil Wars of 1642 to 1651, during which the castle was taken by the Parliamentarians, who slighted it, when it fell into a ruinous state. William Cavendish, who was created Marquess of Newcastle in 1643 and Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1665, added a new hall and staterooms to the Terrace Range, and by the time of his death in 1676 the castle had been restored to good order. The main usage of the building extended over twenty years, and it is presumed that the family lived at the castle towards the end of that period. It then passed through Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland into the Bentinck family, and ultimately became one of the seats of the Earls and Dukes of Portland. After 1883, the castle was uninhabited, and in 1945 it was given to the nation by the 7th Duke of Portland. The castle is now in the care of English Heritage.
Bolsover Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change. It is also a Grade I listed building (first listed in 1985) and recognised as an internationally important structure.
2013 Langar in Denbighshire
Llangar Church, or All Saints Old Parish Church, Llangar, was formerly the parish church of Llangar with Cynwyd, in the Dee Valley, Denbighshire, North Wales. It is now under the guardianship of Cadw, is a Scheduled Monument, and a grade I Listed Building. It is conserved and open to the public as an example of a rural church with medieval wall paintings and largely intact 18th century interior fittings.
Documentary sources show a church at Llangar in 1291,[2] but the present building would appear to date to the 15th century (1971 excavations within the church found this to be the earliest identifiable occupancy).[3] The Church has an undivided nave and chancel, flagstone floor, and arch-braced roof with 15th century roof trusses.[1] The walls have wall paintings, which probably represent at least 8 different layers of painted schemes. The earliest of these date to the 15th century.[2] The extensive woodwork of the interior includes a gallery, box pews, benches and pulpit, all of which date to the early part of the 18th century.
By 1682 the parish was two identifiable townships of Llangar and Cymmer. By 1856 the majority of the population were living even further up that valley, at Cynwyd, and with the church now distant and in poor repair the decision was made to build a new Church, the Church of St John Evangelist, Cynwyd, and abandon the old Church at Llangar, which thus avoided the renovations of the 19th century. The church is now under the guardianship of Cadw, having become very dilapidated in its abandoned state. A major conservation programme was undertaken from 1974.
Roof timbers
The oldest roof trusses are four arch-braced roof trusses forming the four bays in the centre of the Church. At the west end, above the gallery, further trusses were altered in the 17th or 18th centuries and are divided by a collar-beam truss.[1] At the chancel end the roof is panelled over with a barrel shaped ceiling to provide a 'canopy of honour' of 15th century design, although most of the fabric of this is now of later date.[1]
Internal woodwork
Triple-combination pulpit
The interior of the Church has an extensive range of early eighteenth century wooden fittings,[3] which, because of the subsequent abandonment of the Church, has survived in a largely unaltered state where nineteenth century improvers would have swept them away. There is a large gallery at the west end, accessed by a stone spiral staircase.[1] The gallery has wooden bench seating for a choir, and an enclosed area and a pyramidal music stand.[1] The main body of the Church has box pews, some facing east, others, alongside the pulpit, face south toward the pulpit, indicating the liturgical emphasis toward the pulpit, where the sermons are delivered, rather than the altar, where the mass is celebrated.[3] The pulpit itself is positioned part-way down the south wall,[3] and is a wood-panelled triple combination of pulpit, reading desk and clerk's desk, which is re-worked from 17th century items.[1]
Wall paintings
North wall of Llangar church, showing the series of rustic 'fictive wooden frames' for pictures such as a series of Passion scenes.
The north and south walls of the Church hold the fragmentary remains of possibly 8 different layers of wall painting, dating in age from the 15th to 18th centuries.[1] The principle pre-reformation schemes were painted as sequences of paintings running for much of the length of the wall. On the north wall this takes the form of a series of rustic frames, evoking an idea of a wooden framework, which would have held a series of pictures, possibly depicting the passion, although the images within the frames are hard to decipher.[4] Also on the north wall, overlaying some of the rustic frames, is a pre-reformation painting of an unknown Bishop, occupying an elaborate 'fictive architectural niche'.[1]
South wall 'deadly sin' painting of an animal, presumed to represent gluttony. The rider is lost but the image of the greedily feeding beast survives.
The south wall is divided into two rows of seven rectangular 'boxes'. In the upper row it appears there were images of personifications of the seven deadly sins, and in the row below a matching series of seven corporal works of mercy. This was a comparatively common theme in late medieval wall paintings,[5] In the Llangar paintings, each of the seven deadly sins appear to be represented through a person riding on the back of an animal. There are only three churches in Britain which use this device, the others being Hardwick, Cambridgeshire[6] and at Imber, Wiltshire.[7] As with many medieval wall paintings, large areas of the Llangar paintings have been lost or obscured. In several of the scenes the rider's hats are still visible, and the animals can still be seen, but the details of the riders are unclear, perhaps defaced.
The 18th century figure of Death, on the north wall, facing the door.
North wall paintings. Overlying the medieval panels are a picture of a bishop (left) and a post-reformation classical archway with the text of the Lord's Prayer.
The other paintings, found on various places around the Church, are mainly post-reformation works, painted after the now-unacceptable medieval images had been covered over. Most prominent, and most recent, is a large skeleton figure of Death, painted in the 18th century, serving as a reminder of mortality.[1] The classical arch frame on the north wall had the text of Gweddi'r Arglwydd, the Lord's Prayer in Welsh. The various texts painted on the walls embody a shift from images to words after the Reformation, which matches the shift in focus of the internal layout from the altar to the pulpit.[8]
There are no paintings on either of the two end walls, as both of these experienced structural problems and were rebuilt around 1615–1620, when the south porch was also added, and the west wall has been rebuilt twice since then.[9] This paintings on the two long walls demonstrate that these have remained intact since the time of the earliest of the paintings. They also now show the problem of dealing with multiple painted schemes on the same area of wall. The paintings were conserved in 1991, revealing multiple images from various time periods,[3] and decisions will have been made about when to leave some paint in place, and when to reveal older paintings at the expense of those on top.

Another piece of rodent testing equipment I built for a client. The maze has 5cm wide arms that stick out 30cm from the center with two of the arms having 15cm tall clear walls and two having 2.5mm tall clear walls. The maze portion is black and clear acrylic solvent welded together and the stand components are ABS with a 4" schedule 40 PVC pipe as the central support. Most components bolt together easily for rigidity and all components are collapsible for storage.
