Units of the Kosovo Armed Forces, Kosovo Police and Correctional Services paraded in "Zahir Pjaziti" square for the sixth anniversary of the declaration of independence of Kosovo.

The roof trusses and rafters are clearly visibly along the length of the nave. These wooden trusses are given a more elegant form with the use of curved support braces and the whole structure is further reinforced with iron straps and plates. Further support braces are added to each truss that convey their downward force onto the corbel stones. The wood used appears to be pine but what is not clear looking at the overall structure, is whether the main downward forces are acting against the top of the stone walls or onto the corbel stones? The tie-beams that stretch across from one side to the other appear to be single beams of wood.
The current church of St. Etchen’s (Church of Ireland) in Killucan, County Westmeath dates from 1813 and is located on a more ancient ecclesiastical site whose history stretches back to the 6th century. A monastery was established there in c.545 AD by Bishop Etchen who maintained close connections with Clonard. The earliest visible remains on the site are the mid-15th century medieval church ruins dedicated to St. Margaret and a 13th century carved stone font that was found in Kilbixy and placed in St. Etchen’s by the Rev. William Falkiner (Rector of Killucan Parish 1892-1910). Throughout it’s long history, St. Etchan’s has been supported by local landed gentry families such as those of d’Arcy, Pakenham (Earls of Longford), Vandeleur, Fetherston, Purdon, Crofton-Bayly and others.
The church was built with money loaned from the Board of First Fruits but is larger than most contemporary rural churches which may suggest additional financial aid was provided by local patrons, most likely the Pakenhams of Tullynally Castle. There is a family vault for the Pakenhams underneath the current church and Major Frederick Beaucham Pakenham was the last member of the family to be interred there in 1901. Finely carved wooden furnishings adorn the inside of this church which includes an unusually tall lectern, a pulpit as well as important stained glass, notably the east-window by Sarah Purser RHA (1848-1943). The church also underwent major renovations that were completed 2012 in time for the church’s 200th anniversary celebrations (May 2013). Renovations included a new organ loft with seating gallery, new toilet facilities, wheelchair access and a room used for Sunday School classes during services. The belfry tower was also refurbished with new wooden floors inserted into each of its upper stages.

Soldiers from the 173rd Brigade Support Battalion have been supporting Exercise ARRCADE FUSION at RAF St. Mawgan, Cornwall, UK, during November 2014.
The soldiers have travelled from their base in Vicenza, Italy, as the US Army Europe contribution to the exercise. Whilst on exercise the soldiers will play the part of infantry units, reacting to, and providing feed back for, the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps headquarters during the ARRCs main exercise of the year. The exercise also provides the 173rd with valuable training in a multinational joint operations environment.
Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 14 sees Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC) tested whilst it commands two divisional and one brigade headquarters from across Europe and North America. The exercise swells the 450-strong headquarters to close to 1000 personnel and is designed to ensure the Innsworth-based NATO headquarters is ready for any potential short-notice call-up it may receive in 2015.
Participating in this exercise are units and troops from ARRC Partner Nations Czech Republic, Canada, Italy, the United States, as well as personnel from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and others – all-in-all totaling some 2000 military and civilian personnel.
Additionally, FUSION will present the headquarters with an opportunity to further develop training the ARRC’s capability as a NATO Force Structure Joint Task Force Headquarters.
An operational concept conceived by NATO, the JTF builds a land-centric headquarters, like the ARRC, into an element capable of commanding an entire military theatre of operations. For ARRC, this means adding both air and maritime personnel to its structure so that it can command air, land, and sea troops. To this end, military personnel from NATO Air and Naval forces will train with the ARRC and its many subordinate units for this exercise.
NATO has tasked the ARRC to train this way because in 2015 the HQ will be one of the first NATO JTF’s held by NATO for short-notice, rapid recall tasking.

South Carolina National Guard's 43rd Civil Support Team from West Columbia, S.C. along with Soldiers from the 1-118th Infantry Battalion from Mt. Pleasant, S.C. were tasked to launch an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Raven, to capture real-time video imagery of the flooding and potential for additional impact areas as flooding continues in Conway and Myrtle Beach, S.C. along Hwy 501, Sept. 21, 2018. This is their fourth aerial reconnaissance mission this week in support of flooding that continues to affect many areas of the Carolinas. Such missions must be coordinated and approved by the Secretary of Defense, with these being the first time a UAV was used in direct support of relief efforts caused a natural disaster. South Carolina National Guard Engineers and Transportation Corps are placing sandbags along the highway to ensure roadways remain passable and communities are not cut-off on the main route to highly populated Myrtle Beach, S.C. They have laid nearly three miles of barrier protecting a mile and a half of road with sandbags and flood barriers to keep the road open from flooding. There are approximately 2,200 South Carolina National Guard Soldiers, 40 Airmen, 100 State Guard on duty as well as 28 Soldiers and Airmen from Pennsylvania and Alaska National Guard, 8 troops from the New York National Guard, 100 Tennessee National Guard assisting response efforts from the impacts of Hurricane Florence.

"READY TO BLOOM and regale you with my beauty"?
The Peony is indigenous to China, but was imported to Japan so early it is difficult to be certain when the transplantation occurred. It is a perennial plant with single flowers of white, red or pink which are born in late spring.
The peony was originally introduced as medicine. In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means ‘medicine from China’. However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed. In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.
For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light? Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

Grimmy in festive mood supporting WDM activist Santa waiting outside HSBC St. Ann's Square, Manchester City Centre. He shouted explanations to passers by and acted as a photo-draw whilst she waited to deliver a stocking of coal to HSBC "The World's local (naughty) bank" which is a leading financier of fossil fuel extraction, particularly open coal mines in Borneo and Colombia where communities are displaced and destroyed and the environment polluted, harming people locally. The bank refused to let anyone in or out for half an hour on the Saturday before Christmas until the PCSO's arrived and spoke to them. They refused to take the Christmas present but did eventually take ONE copy of the leaflet!

This artistic provocation seeks to estimate the orders of magnitude of critical ecosystem services fundamental to all planetary life processes. It is common to use economic metaphors, which entail specific understandings of value, to describe our relationships with society, the world, and the biosphere. Today’s prevailing economic conventions are unable to recognize the intrinsic value of the ecosystems on which all life depends. In cultures overdetermined by concepts from economics, we are left without adequate discursive instruments to socially or politically address the importance of ecosystem contribution to life on Earth. This experiment consists of 1 square meter of wheat, cultivated in a closed environment. Critical inputs such as water, light, heat, and nutrients are measured, monitored, and displayed for the public. This procedure makes palpable the immense scale of ecosystem contributions and provides a speculative reference for a reckoning of the undervalued and over exploited “work of the biosphere.”

The Kipor IG2000 should support a 1600 watt load at 230 VAC without any distortion, Shown is some distortion when driving a 750 watt load (a toaster) at 229 volts, the ECO was turned off, notice the waveform frequency is nice and steady when the load cuts in and out (50hz), some ringing is noticed along the waveform, but settles down when the load is removed, maybe when the motor has been run for the 20 hrs or so, the waveform under load may improve. It's recommended the motor is run in for 20 hours at no more than half maximum load, before loading with the full 1600 watts.
Inside the Kipor - this is a good You Tube video - if you're interested.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbPaEnL7AI4&feature=channel
I had heard and read on the forum a bad output can damage the sensitive electronics i.e the switch mode caravan charger, the new electronic caravan distribution LCD control panel etc... I was talking with another caravanner last week and he reckons that the new Kipor generator damaged his caravan charger and control panel, he did say that when he bought the new Kipor IG2000 he connected everything up to it, switched it all on at the same time, then removed one appliance at a time until the overload light extinguished.
Well – I can see why he blew a few items, the new not run in motor must have been going from nearly stall to full power and back again and will have provided really unstable power. You do need to work out on paper, what the loading of each appliance is, and make sure you don’t exceed the generators capability to supply it. The procedure when using the generator is after starting the motor, leave for 5 mins to warm up before connecting to the caravan, ensure all caravan appliances are off before running an intermittent high (i.e. microwave) or full load, switch ECO mode off, full power is then available without the motor hunting and the voltage and frequency fluctuating wildly.
The link below is an excellent tutorial and explains exactly why I have a high frequency waveform superimposed on the 50 hz display - I think.........

From the Kipor Page ;- . DETERMINING YOUR GENERATOR NEEDS
We all use our generators in many different ways. At home, on the ranch, construction site, campground, park, backyard, beach—anywhere we want to have power and land lines are not accessible. The one thing we cannot do with our generators is get more power from them than their maximum output, so evaluating your needs and what equipment you wish to use at any one time is critical in deciding what size generator to purchase.
You want to keep in mind the maximum and rated output of the generator you intend to purchase. You will be attaching items which have reactive loads (circular saws, pumps, drills, air conditioners and air compressors, fluorescent lights). Other items commonly used will be standard light bulbs, coffee makers, curling irons and frying pans. These items have resistive loads. A resistive load of 600 watts draws 600 watts from your generator. The reactive load items draw much more on startup and a good rule of thumb is 3 times the run load rating. So if a drill has a run rate of 600 watts then 600 x 3 = 1800 watts is your calculated need for the drill.
Maximum output is available to assist in motor starting only. The generator should only be operated at maximum load for no longer than 30 minutes or damage to the generator will result. (Owner’s manual warning.)
Many times a number of items are plugged into your generator. Your management of what is operating at any one moment is critical for proper operation of your generator.
Review the power requirements of each of the items you wish to run. Calculating the proper run load requirements is the best way to determine your actual needs. Below is a chart with many common items and their power requirements. Keep in mind your tools and appliances can vary from these averages.
