Niagara Falls, NY
August 15, 2018
Niagara Falls Fire Department was dispatched to the 700 block this morning around 08:18 for a fully involved working structure fire.
All of the occupants made it out of the house safe. A dog was still inside of the house when a Niagara Falls police officer arrived on scene. He ran into the burning house to rescue the dog.
Red Cross is assisting the family. No word yet on the cause of the fire.
This is, well, the entrance of Nadia's Restaurant on State Street in Madison, Wisconsin. I haven't been in yet, but I like the red awning of the entrance for sure. This was taken last week, and running through the thick fog this morning, it seems much longer ago.

Due to the lack of supporting partition walls, the carriage roof has sagged in the middle over the years. To remove this distortion the structure is carefully being encouraged back into position using a series of clamps and braces. These can be seen fixed horizontally and diagonally inside the carriage.

The Sepachendera Palace (Istana Kampung Baru). A dilapidated Siamese architecture palace builds in 1882 by Sultan Abdul Hamid upon his accession to the throne for his first wife, a Thai, Y.M. Cik Sepa Chandra [Che Sepacendera, Che Sepachendera].
Y.M. Cik Sepa Chandra lived in the palace until she died in February 1907. The palace was passed to her unmarried
children. In 1922, Tunku Ibrahim (Tunku Sulong) the eldest son of Y.M. Cik Sepa Chandra turned the palace into Kampung Baru Girl School (Sekolah Perempuan Kampung Baru), where girls were given lessons in English.
During the World War II (1945), the palace was used as the Fire Fighter Office and Japanese Language Centre. After the war ended, this palace resumed its function as a school which was renamed as Sekolah Sultanah Asma. However, it was closed in 1954 when a new all-girls’ school named Sekolah Menengah Sultanah Asma was opened at Derga, Jalan Langgar.
In 1966, the premises was then occupied by Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Tunku Abdul Halim as well as a branch of the Kedah State Education Department in 1983, before becoming the grounds of Sekolah Menengah Islam Al-Haj and finally Sekolah Menengah Insan Bestari (Sekolah Insan Bestari), managed by Kolej Universiti Insaniah (Insaniyah University College) (KUIN) [now Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Sultan Abdul Halim Mua'dzam Shah (UniSHAMS)].
The three storey, though the most section is two storey, palace made of bricks with a roof deck, similar to several buildings in Siam during that era. Siamese artisans were involved in its construction, but the structural materials and workmanship were inferior and will not stand the test of time. The rear section has collapsed and the main structures showing signs of imminent structural failures. The building is now in a state of disrepair due to years of maintenance neglect, and the cost of reconstruction and restoration work is expected to be very expensive.

3D Cross view- To view, sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. Now increase or decrease how much your eyes are cross eyed until the image pops into 3D. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Stop if it's uncomfortable.

St. Paul's Church (Bad Kreuznach)
St. Paul's Church and St. Paul chapel Bad Kreuznach
Paul Church at night
The St. Paul's Church is a church building in Bad Kreuznach. It lies on the Wörth, an island in the Nahe, in the city center between the Kreuznacher Old and New Town.
History
The pre-Reformation church
The original structure was built from 1311 to 1332 through the initiative of John II, Count of Sponheim. Originally designed only as a chapel, arose a three-nave Gothic church with a transept and ridge turrets above the crossing. According to the patron saints of the former parish church it was consecrated to Our Lady, St. Kilian and St. Martin. Approval for the consecration of the church gave in 1332 Baldwin of Luxembourg, who at that time exercised as Archbishop of Trier the administration rights of the Mainz bishop. As feast days of the consecration of the church from the 15th century the feast of the birth of John the Baptist and the feast of his Decapitation are passed on. Subsequently the church was beneficiary of numerous donations, also around 1340 the cemetery on the Wörth was created. Since the construction of 1332 did not yet have a Western end, after 1400 the to this day preserved Gothic choir could be added without major alterations to the church, which was intended as a grave lay of the Counts of Sponheim. The establishment of the city as a condominium in 1437 had also consequences for the church on the Wörth. In the political tension between the Margrave of Baden and the Palgraves of Palatine-Simmern came town and just the community because of its border location again and again in development-inhibiting conflicts. In addition, the church since its early days was frequently affected by floods, which, for example, in spingtime of 1458 caused great damage and to which numerous altars fell victim. Subsequently also construction activity came to a halt, beyound repair work and some renovations in 1516 no late medieval interventions in the building fabric are proved.
From the Reformation to the destruction
Although 1521 to 1523 on the only a few kilometers away Ebernburg already numerous of the historically most significant reformers gathered, held the Kreuznacher City Church to the Old Believers.
The Lutheran-Calvinist disputes
The after the taking office of Ottheinrich in 1556 carried out church visitation led to the introduction of the Reformation in accordance with the provisions of the Peace of Augsburg. In fact, however, only with the overthrow of the old Plebanus (Leutpriester) and the establishment of the previous leiningschen court preacher Christoph Stolberg in the fall of 1557 of a Reformed congregation can be question. After the turn of Frederick III. to Calvinism in 1563, that also Stolberg with the community reproduced, the secularization of Kreuznacher monasteries was stronger pushed ahead, which also the area of supervision of the Church increased handsomely. As a result of the accession to power of Louis VI, tending to a strict Lutheranism, in 1576 also Stolberg was removed from office and the community in the sense of the later Formula of Concord directed. After the death of Louis finally the Calvinists got the upper hand again. Under John Casimir in 1585 the Lutheran preacher was deposed. With the appointment of a new pastorate there were major conflicts, which also reflect the political divisions of the city. They agreed to a changing right, so that in filling the pastorate alternately Baden or the Palatinate should be given a chance. In the wake of clashes that lasted until 1587, the Electoral Palatinate proved to be stronger. For the church on the Wörth this meant that there the Calvinist tradition could set ultimately and permanently.
The Thirty Years War and the time as a simultaneous church
The next turning point in community life arose in the course of the Thirty Years War. Because Kreuznach since 1620 under Marquis Spinola was base of Spanish troops, now increasingly the Counter-Reformation set in. 1624 in the choir of the Wörth church began the worships of the now in the city established Jesuits, by which it now acted as a simultaneous church. 1626, finally, the Calvinist religion in the city was banned, which led to the emigration of many church members. Only with the conquest of the city by Gustavus Adolphus in 1632, when the church probably suffered considerable damage, ended the Zwangskatholisierung (forced catholicizing). All three confessions were now allowed in the city and each of them got a church building assigned. The Wörth church in the process went to the Calvinists. However, after the imperial troops had captured the city in 1635, in 1636 the worship of the Jesuits in the choir of the church building started again. It was not until 1652 as the church after the Kreuznacher agreement again for the exclusive use and possession of the Reformed church was passed over.
Florescence of the town church and destruction by the French
Subsequently the Wörth church as only Kreuznacher city church for the authorithies also was of representative of importance. As a sermon church in the course of the 17th century through the supplementary galleries it got furthermore additional capacity. The florescence of the church, however, during the Palatinate War of Succession should come to an abrupt end. Bombardment and destruction of the adjacent Kauzenburg 1688 was followed by a long-lasting ravage of the troops of Louis XIV and the burning down of the church in 1689. Later only the choir could be resurfaced to such an extent that it as a chapel the community again could be provided. The general decline of the city is reflected in the use of the church building too. The communities were so shrunken that the Church 1698-1708 and 1721 as a simultaneous church equally by Roman Catholics (in the choir) and the Reformed church (in the separated long house) was used.
From Reconstruction to the Second World War
Between 1768 and 1781, first the tower, then the nave under the direction of Philipp Heinrich Hellermann was rebuilt. Because of its consecration on Peter and Paul 1781, the church was named St. Paul's Church.
1782 here Johann Heinrich Jung-Stilling (1740-1817) by his friend, the reformed Inspector Daniel Ludwig Wundt (1741-1805), to his second wife Susanne (Salome) Maria ("Selma") of St. George (1760-1790) was married.
The shift of the political boundaries since Napoleon's conquests also had consequences for the Paul parish. The final allocation of the territory to the Kingdom of Prussia the community also let come under the Summepiscopat (Bishop pro tempore - i.e. the king as the head of the Church) of Frederick William III. Accordingly, it was also affected by the royal unification considerations that were well received in the city. Here on the Reformation day in 1817 the first celebration of reunification on the left-bank of the Rhine of Reformed and a Lutheran congregation was celebrated, on the occasion of which between the tower of St. Paul's Church and the tower of Church of Wilhelm a chain was strained.
On 19 June 1843, superintendent Johann Wilhelm Schneegans (* July 14, 1776 Kreuznach; † August 12, 1858 ibid) here Karl Marx married to Jenny von Westphalen.
The service was held at that time in the nave, while the choir was left to decay. With the help of English spa guests but began in 1840 the reconstruction so that between 1863 and 1914 here Anglican services were celebrated.
During the Second World War mainly the failed attempt by the Wehrmacht to blow up the bridge over the river Nahe had fatal consequences. The entire force of the explosion of attached explosives erupted in the direction of the surrounding buildings and unroofed the church.
The church since the Reconstruction
1952-1954 followed the reconstruction.
Present use
The Paul church is used in addition to the parochial service for diverse cultural offerings, there regularly concerts of choirs and symphony orchestras take place. In addition to the choir of St. Paul's church, the Concert Company Bad Kreuznach here holds regularly its Oratorio performances. The liturgical tradition of the Anglican Church closely related Michael Brotherhood as well in the eastern part of the church is domestic. The approximately 1200 seats comprising construction is the largest church between Mainz and Trier and plays due to its immediate proximity to the superintendency of the church district at Nahe and Glan a special role for the Evangelical life in the region.
Choir at the Paul's church
The choir in 1956 by former church musician Wilfried Bergmann as a youth choir was founded. 1960 Dieter Wellmann took over the choir. Since 1996, the choir is under the direction of Beate Rux-Voss.
Organs
1714 the Reformed congregation in St. Paul's Church received an organ of the Hanau organ builder Johann Valentin Marckert (Marquardt).
Both in St. Paul's Church as well as in Paul Chapel later organs of Windesheimer company brothers Oberlinger organ building were installed. The great organ of St. Paul's, which stands on the rear loft, was built in 1957 and has in its 16' housing prospect 43 stops on three manuals and pedal. The neo-Baroque organ case corresponds to the opposite baroque altar/pulpit ensemble in the church. The housing frame and the cornices of the organ are made of solid walnut. The of the Bad Kreuznacher sculptor Karl Steiner carved and gilded leaf ornaments show vines and grapes. The wind chests were built of oak with capped sheathes of oak wood according to historical construction. Organ builder Ernst Oberlinger designed together with his brother Hermann, the Bad Kreuznach architect Karl Schneider and the former cantor of St. Paul's Church, Wilfried Bergmann, the organ in neo-baroque style.
2012, behind the Baroque altar/pulpit ensemble, a new, designed by the current cantor Beate Rux-Voss instrument of Eule organ building Bautzen (op. 668) was built in and consecrated on 28 May 2012. It has two manuals and includes 40 stops with various aids:

Trivia
1685-1689 Heinrich Horch as deacon of the city church was active.
On May 2, 1929 Albert Schweitzer appeared as organist with a program of Bach and Mendelssohn in the church.
For about 50 years in the local history literature on a wedding of Karl Marx and Jenny von Westphalen in St. Paul's church is reported. According to research by reverend Albert Paul Rosenkranz but St. Paul's church in 1843 was construction site for a major renovation. Place of marriage was probably the opposite Wilhelm Church.
