ASIS Europe 2023 – From Risk to Resilience
Today’s enterprise is connected, complex and global. Securing innovation and competitive advantage requires simultaneously protecting people, information, products, and property. Rapid, interconnected change, and shifting perceptions of risk and value are key challenges for security practi-tioners. ASIS Europe programme is designed to provide unique insights to help you, your teams and your organisation. We will examine evolving security challenges from the perspective of leaders tasked with protecting their organi-sation’s reputation and most precious assets in a manner that drives business, organisational and cultural goals. | Foto © Charles Batenburg
After several months of fundraising we've now secured a new house for these beautiful kids. Since the earthquake all 47 children have been living in two tents and two small rooms.
The crowded, unsanitary conditions caused illness and great discomfort. Now these children will have a safe house where they'll have space to grow and play.
We're still fundraising to cover their school fees. You can read more or donate at www.edvolunteers.org/update.
Please give what you can to support these vulnerable kids!

I've walked by this car so many times, it's been standing there for months, same spot, dusted by leaves and cherry tree petals... I've always loved the color and wanted to shot it. Today, I had the camera...
It wasn't until I uploaded the shot and had a closer look that I notice why the car has been standing there abandoned. The lazy owner hasn't bothered to fix the punctured tire.
This very ornate iron gate on Calle Cadiz in Conil de la Frontera is very pretty as well as being secure. It appears the building was 1689.

Using gaffer tape, which does not leave a sticky residue, I tape the microphone to the casing to keep it from moving around on the noisy styrofoam. I made a slight indentation on the styrofoam to help keep it in the middle to minimize wobbling. You can't get the tape from most hardware stores but you can order it from www.tapemonster.com; it costs a bit more than duct tape but you'll never look back.
Upper West Side, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States
Situated on the south side of West 85th Street between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, the distinctive three-story 326 West 85th Street House — one house in a row of six houses — was planned by the noted architect Clarence True and was constructed for speculator-builder Charles G. Judson in 1892, at a time when the blocks in the West Eighties between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive were first developed. The overall design composition of this house is part of the A-B-A-A-B-A facade pattern of the row, and the 326 West 85th Street House represents a refined example of the Italian Renaissance style adapted to the requirements of the American basement plan, popularized on the Upper West Side by the architect Clarence True. This facade is a well-conceived and finely executed design. Its spare and well-cut ornament demonstrate great respect for the inherent quality of its exterior fabric — Maynard red sandstone, light orange Roman brick, and red pantiles. Indeed, the polychromy of these materials is an essential element of the facade's design. No. 326 West 85th Street has been changed very little since 1892 and retains much of its original ironwork and decorative door hardware.
The Development of the Upper West Side
The evolution of the present appearance of West 85th Street between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive is a reflection of the Upper West Side's greater development pattern. Largely undeveloped until the 1880s, the area was known as "Bloomingdale" prior to urbanization and was comprised of working farms in the eighteenth century and landed estates in the early nineteenth century. While included in the Commissioner's Map of 1811, which platted a grid of avenues and streets in Manhattan as far north as 155th Street, the area remained essentially rural and most of the streets were not laid out until after the Civil War. The creation of Central Park beginning in 1857 contributed to the growth of the areas around the Park's perimeter, but improved public transportation spurred the area's sustained development onward; in particular, the Ninth Avenue (Columbus Avenue) Elevated Railroad, completed in 1879 with stations at 72nd, 81st, 93rd, and 104th Streets, encouraged the area's growth. However, the biggest boost to the development of the West End, the area west of Broadway, was the creation, between 1876 and 1900, of Riverside Drive and Park (now a designated New York City Scenic Landmark) north of 72nd Street. Following the Financial Panic of 1873, development proceeded slowly but by 1885 the Upper West Side had become the scene of the city's most intense real estate speculation.
The tract now including the westernmost blocks of West 85th Street, once a portion of the Oliver DeLancey farm which was conveyed to John H. Howland in 1825, was not partitioned into lots until 1850. Subsequently, a parcel of four lots, each 25 by 100 feet, along West 85th Street's south side (comprising lots 40 through 43) was sold twice, in 1872 and in 1887. This parcel corresponds to the row at 316 through 326 West 85th Street. It should be rioted that this site is located on a gentle rise from West End Avenue west to Riverside Drive.
The Rowhouse and the Speculative Builder
The earliest Upper West Side rowhouse speculators owned the property on which the houses were constructed; Edward S. Clark, President of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, who commissioned Henry J. Hardenbergh to design the row at 41 to 49 West 73rd Street in 1879-80, has been cited as an example of this trend. The speculative builder followed close behind. Such a builder, often in concert with a property owner, would employ an architect with whom he often worked in partnership. Each received his share of the profit when the improved properties were sold. Charles G. Judson was listed as the owner at the time the New Building Application was filed for 326 West 85th Street and the other five houses east of it in this row of six buildings — April 21, 1892. Judson's architect for this commission, and for at least seven others, was Clarence True with whom he shared a business address at 102 West 82nd Street from 1892 until 1897.
A measure of how concentrated the development climate was throughout the city was the common practice among rowhouse developers of purchasing groups of lots and reconfiguring them, thus maximizing the number of houses within the row by building the houses narrower than the standard twenty-five foot lot. Judson subdivided these four lots on the south side of West 85th Street into six, each measuring sixteen feet, eight inches in width.
The Architect
Born in Massachusetts, Clarence Fagan True (1860-1928) received his earliest professional experience in New York in the office of Richard Michel 1 Upjohn (1828-1903), son of Richard Upjohn (1802-1878), one of this country's leading Gothic Revival architects. True began his architectural training in the Upjohn office in 1881; directories indicate that he worked there until 1887 . ^ Although the Upjohn office was known chiefly for its ecclesiastical work, True's reputation as an independent architect rests on the quantity and quality of his domestic commissions, principally on the
Upper West Side. True opened his own office in 1889, although it wasn't until April of the following year that he first filed plans for a group of houses (at 301 to 319 West 89th Street) ; he was listed as an architect at 571 The Boulevard (Broadway) in 1891. True worked primarily for speculative builders (Henry Chaffee, Richard G. Piatt, Theodore A. Squier, J. Edgar Coar, W. E. Lanchantin, and W. J. Merritt); his office is credited with at least. 270 houses on the Upper West Side, including those for Charles G. Judson. In 1894 True entered the speculative housing business as well; he was able to secure a majority of the block-front properties along Riverside Drive, from 72nd to 84th Streets, and through his Riverside Building Company constructed many of the houses now included in the West End-Collegiate and Riverside Drive-West 80th-81st Street Historic Districts. He produced two publications — Designs of 141 Dwelling Houses (1893) and Riverside Drive (1899) — in which he promoted his work and advertised the availability of the finished product.
True was a consummate and innovative planner, a talent that was recognized by his contemporaries, and that is still evident today. He is credited, if not for introducing it, then for popularizing the American basement plan with its low stoop. The quantity and quality of the office's finished work remains impressive, but it is likely that the final design of elevations and exterior (and interior) details was left to True's skillful draftsman, J.A. Johnson, who adapted the blend of academic historicism and up-to-date refinement which characterize True's well-planned houses. Johnson's signatures are integral to the published drawings themselves and are always dated. True's signature and the address of the office always appear in a clearly defined space in the drawing — a space created by his draftsman. True was careful to note, "Designed & Built under the superintendance" or "under the supervision of the Architect."
Design and Construction
Architects of rowhouses on the Upper West Side designed rows as coherent units, but the individual houses varied in their details and were often arranged in a rhythmic design pattern. True took rowhouse design a few steps beyond this treatment. No. 326 West 85th Street and the other five houses east of it (Plate 1), designed in 1892, are a variation of the Italian Renaissance solution that True and his associates created for an earlier row on West End Avenue. For the builder Richard D. Piatt in 1890, True planned a block of three, four-story houses on West End Avenue between 88th and 89th Streets. An appropriate urban prototype, an Italian Renaissance palazzo facade, was adapted to True's American basement plan. The three facades are arranged in an A-B-A pattern of projecting, three- story bays, with an arcade of windows, two windows in the end houses and three in the center house, spanning the fourth stories. This arcade, the rusticated and diapered brickwork, and the common cornice contribute to the row's unified aspect, yet each house has an individual character.
The facades of the West 85 th Street row share the American basement plan and the other unifying design elements with the houses of the earlier Piatt row, such as the third-story window arcade and the rusticated brick banding, although the A-B-A rhythm has been extended and the oriels have replaced the projecting bays. The design of the 326 West 85th Street House front is part of the A-B-A-A-B-A facade pattern of the row. The "A" and "B" components of the row are differentiated by the treatment of the oriels and the third-story arcades. No. 326, like the other houses in the row, is distinguished by a number of Italian Renaissance-inspired features — the rusticated bands of red sandstone at the basement and first story and light orange brick above, the uninterrupted course of red sandstone fol iated ornament, the third story window arcade, and the tiled false roof. The polychromy of the materials is an essential element of the facade's design.
Description
In the A-B-A-A-B-A rhythm of the row, No. 326 is an "A" (Plate 2).The first story of this house, comprising three bays (two windows at the west and the main entrance to the east), is faced with bullnose rusticated Maynard red sandstone ashlar, lightly broached. Two steps, between cheeks of smoothly dressed ashlar incorporating a broader, rounded cap terminating in a knob (all in the same red sandstone), lead up to the door sill from the sidewalk (Plate 3J. Separating the first and second stories is a red sandstone course of intricately carved naturalistic foliation (Plate 4) spanning the full width of the house (as well as the full width of the row). This ornamental course is based upon published prototypes; the combination of classical rinceaux and earlier Gothic forms is a characteristic of the early Italian Renaissance style.
Both the second and third stories are faced with rusticated bands of light orange brick. The division between this rowhouse facade and the one to the east is defined by aligning the reveals of the rusticated brick bands to form a vertical crease. The two second-story windows are contained within a flat-faced oriel of smoothly dressed red sandstone, which is supported on five corbels and carries a broad-eaved roof of red pantiles (Plate 2). As one of the "A" houses in the row, No. 326 has three third- story windows. The red sandstone voussoirs of this arcade are keyed into the rusticated brick banding. This house is topped with a false roof covered with red pantiles. The galvanized iron cornice has raised rinceaux running the length of its soffit.
In the reveal of the entrance there is a molding articulated in a low- relief guilloche motif (Plate 3). There are also a number of original wrought-iron elements. It is likely that the areaway railing, the basement window grille, the Art Nouveau style door hardware (hinges and knob plate) and the grille of the door transom (now missing) were all designed by J. A. Johnson.
Subsequent History
Charles Judson did not sell No. 326 until the end of May, 1893, and then to a speculator who bought Nos. 316 and 322 as well. This house was a single-family residence until 1979 when it was converted to a triplex with a basement apartment.
Aluminum storm sash have been placed in front of the original one-over- one wood sash. A window has been inserted in the upper panel of the front door? a non-historic grille has been placed in front of it. Non-historic window grilles have been placed in front of the first-story windows. To address a spalling condition in the red sandstone, the knobs on the stoop cheeks have been patched with cement.

This leaping hunting dog can be made to open and close its mouth using the lever beneath the chest. Originally secured by means of a thong tied through the hole in the back of its neck and two in the throat, the lever was later attached with a metal dowel in the right shoulder. When the mouth is opened, two teeth and a red tongue are visible. Note the collar around his neck - perhaps a pet or a hunting dog. Was this a toy, or did it have a ceremonial function?

2002 Scotland - A royal manor existed on the site in the 12th century.[1] This was replaced by a fortification known as 'the Peel', built in the 14th century by occupying English forces under Edward I. The site of the manor made it an ideal military base for securing the supply routes between Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle. The English fort was begun in March 1302 under the supervision of two priests, Richard de Wynepol and Henry de Graundeston. The architect, Master James of St George, was also present.[2] In September 1302, sixty men and 140 women helped dig the ditches; the men were paid twopence and the women a penny daily.[3] A hundred foot-soldiers were still employed as labourers on the castle in November and work continued during the Summer of 1303.[4]
In 1424, the town of Linlithgow was partially destroyed in a great fire.[5] King James I started the rebuilding of the Palace as a grand residence for Scottish royalty, also beginning the rebuilding of the Church of St Michael immediately to the south of the palace: the earlier church had been used as a storeroom during Edward's occupation.[6] Over the following century the palace developed into a formal courtyard structure, with significant additions by James III and James IV. James V, who was born in the palace in April 1512, added the outer gateway and the elaborate courtyard fountain. The stonework of the South façade was renewed and unified for James V in the 1530s by the keeper, James Hamilton of Finnart. Mary, Queen of Scots, was born at the Palace in December 1542[7] and occasionally stayed there during her reign. The daughter of James VI, Elizabeth of Bohemia, lived in the Palace.[8] After the Union of the Crowns in 1603 the Royal Court became largely based in England and Linlithgow was used very little. The old North Range collapsed on 6 September 1607, and The 1st Earl of Linlithgow wrote to King James VI & I with the news:
Please your most Sacred Majestie; this sext of September, betuixt thre and four in the morning, the north quarter of your Majesties Palice of Linlithgw is fallin, rufe and all, within the wallis, to the ground; but the wallis ar standing yit, bot lukis everie moment when the inner wall sall fall and brek your Majesties fontane."[9]
King James had it rebuilt between 1618 and 1622. The carving was designed by the mason William Wallace. In July 1620, the architect, James Murray of Kilbaberton, estimated that 3,000 stones in weight of lead would be needed to cover the roof, costing £3,600 in Pound Scots (the Scottish money of the time).[10] On 5 July 1621 the then Earl of Mar wrote to James to tell him he had met Murray and viewed the works at 'grate lenthe.' He said the Palace would be ready for the King at Michaelmas.[11] The carving at the window-heads and the Royal Arms of Scotland were painted and gilded, and the old statues of the Pope, Knight, and Labouring Man on the east side had also been painted.[12] However, the only reigning monarch to stay at Linlithgow after that date was King Charles I, who spent a night there in 1633.
In 1648, part of the new North Range was occupied by The 2nd Earl of Linlithgow.[13] An English visitor in October 1641 recorded in a poem that the roof of the great hall was already gone, the fountain vandalised by those who objected on religious grounds to the motto "God Save the King," but some woodcarving remained in the Chapel Royal.[14]
The palace's swansong came in September 1745, when Bonnie Prince Charlie visited Linlithgow on his march south but did not stay overnight. It is said that the fountain was made to flow with wine in his honour.[15] The Duke of Cumberland's army destroyed most of the palace buildings by burning in January 1746.
We used 4 inch straps to secure the load. The straps were very tight. You could play a musical note by snapping the edge of the strap. The biggest problem I had was hurling the rolled up 4 inch strap up and over the 13 foot load. It was embarrassing and frustrating to have the roll drop back on the same side I was throwing it from.
