Following the purchase of GWR Castle Class No.7029 Clun Castle in January 1966 by Patrick Whitehouse, the locomotive needed a base close to its central West Midlands supporters' base. Whitehouse found space available at Tyseley, on the site of the former GWR depot, and formed 7029 Clun Castle Ltd to own both the locomotive and the rights to stable it at the depot.
In October 1968, 7029 Clun Castle Ltd purchased LMS Jubilee Class No.5593 "Kolhapur". With further locomotives and railway artefacts available as a result of the Beeching Axe, the supporters established the Standard Gauge Steam Trust as a registered educational charity, to preserve and demonstrate the steam locomotives. Following negotiations the trust acquired a long-term lease on a large part of the Tyseley site, and established the Tyseley Collection which still owns the locomotives and artefacts via the limited company, the depot site became the "Birmingham Railway Museum".
The trust cleared buildings and repaired the dilapidated tracks, and two water columns were repaired to allow steam locomotives to stay at the site. In 1968 the old coaling stage was converted into a two-road shed with an inspection pit to hold both acquired locomotives. In November 1966 Clun Castle was stripped and restored.
In 1999 the trust achieved its long-held objective of running a regular steam train service on the national main line railway network: the Shakespeare Express between Birmingham Snow Hill and Stratford-upon-Avon. At this point the trust felt that the term museum was inappropriate for its new status, and hence separated its assets and operations into two new organisations, Tyseley Locomotive Works and the operating arm Vintage Trains, with the third arm remaining the Tyseley Collection.
Zion National Park is an American national park located in southwestern Utah near the city of Springdale. A prominent feature of the 229-square-mile (590 km2) park is Zion Canyon, which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to 2,640 ft (800 m) deep. The canyon walls are reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone eroded by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest point in the park is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits Wash and the highest peak is 8,726 ft (2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert regions, the park has a unique geography and a variety of life zones that allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. Numerous plant species as well as 289 species of birds, 75 mammals (including 19 species of bat), and 32 reptiles inhabit the park's four life zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. Zion National Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons, and natural arches. Human habitation of the area started about 8,000 years ago with small family groups of Native Americans, one of which was the semi-nomadic Basketmaker Anasazi (c. 300). Subsequently, the Virgin Anasazi culture (c. 500) and the Parowan Fremont group developed as the Basketmakers settled in permanent communities. Both groups moved away by 1300 and were replaced by the Parrusits and several other Southern Paiute subtribes. Mormons came into the area in 1858 and settled there in the early 1860s. In 1909, President William Howard Taft named the area Mukuntuweap National Monument in order to protect the canyon. In 1918, the acting director of the newly created National Park Service, Horace Albright, drafted a proposal to enlarge the existing monument and change the park's name to Zion National Monument, Zion being a term used by the Mormons. According to historian Hal Rothman: "The name change played to a prevalent bias of the time. Many believed that Spanish and Indian names would deter visitors who, if they could not pronounce the name of a place, might not bother to visit it. The new name, Zion, had greater appeal to an ethnocentric audience." On November 20, 1919, Congress redesignated the monument as Zion National Park, and the act was signed by President Woodrow Wilson. The Kolob section was proclaimed a separate Zion National Monument in 1937, but was incorporated into the national park in 1956. The geology of the Zion and Kolob canyons area includes nine formations that together represent 150 million years of mostly Mesozoic-aged sedimentation. At various periods in that time warm, shallow seas, streams, ponds and lakes, vast deserts, and dry near-shore environments covered the area. Uplift associated with the creation of the Colorado Plateau lifted the region 10,000 feet (3,000 m) starting 13 million years ago. The park is located in southwestern Utah in Washington, Iron and Kane counties. Geomorphically, it is located on the Markagunt and Kolob plateaus, at the intersection of three North American geographic provinces: the Colorado Plateau, the Great Basin, and the Mojave Desert. The northern part of the park is known as the Kolob Canyons section and is accessible from Interstate 15, exit 40. The 8,726-foot (2,660 m) summit of Horse Ranch Mountain is the highest point in the park; the lowest point is the 3,666-foot (1,117 m) elevation of Coal Pits Wash, creating a relief of about 5,100 feet (1,600 m). Streams in the area take rectangular paths because they follow jointing planes in the rocks. The stream gradient of the Virgin River, whose North Fork flows through Zion Canyon in the park, ranges from 50 to 80 feet per mile (9.5 to 15.2 m/km) (0.9–1.5%)—one of the steepest stream gradients in North America. The road into Zion Canyon is 6 miles (9.7 km) long, ending at the Temple of Sinawava, which is named for the coyote god of the Paiute Indians. The canyon becomes more narrow near the Temple and a hiking trail continues to the mouth of The Narrows, a gorge only 20 feet (6 m) wide and up to 2,000 feet (610 m) tall. The Zion Canyon road is served by a free shuttle bus from early April to late October and by private vehicles the other months of the year. Other roads in Zion are open to private vehicles year-round. The east side of the park is served by Zion-Mount Carmel Highway (SR-9), which passes through the Zion–Mount Carmel Tunnel and ends at Mount Carmel. On the east side of the park, notable park features include Checkerboard Mesa and the East Temple. The Kolob Terrace area, northwest of Zion Canyon, features a slot canyon called The Subway, and a panoramic view of the entire area from Lava Point. The Kolob Canyons section, further to the northwest near Cedar City, features one of the world's longest natural arches, Kolob Arch. Other notable geographic features of the park include the Virgin River Narrows, Emerald Pools, Angels Landing, The Great White Throne, and Court of the Patriarchs. Spring weather is unpredictable, with stormy, wet days being common, mixed with occasional warm, sunny weather. Precipitation is normally heaviest in March. Spring wildflowers bloom from April through June, peaking in May. Fall days are usually clear and mild; nights are often cool. Summer days are hot (95 to 110 °F; 35 to 43 °C), but overnight lows are usually comfortable (65 to 70 °F; 18 to 21 °C). Afternoon thunderstorms are common from mid-July through mid-September. Storms may produce waterfalls as well as flash floods. Autumn tree-color displays begin in September in the high country; in Zion Canyon, autumn colors usually peak in late October. Winter in Zion Canyon is fairly mild. Winter storms bring rain or light snow to Zion Canyon and heavier snow to the higher elevations. Clear days may become quite warm, reaching 60 °F (16 °C); nights are often 20 to 40 °F (−7 to 4 °C). Winter storms can last several days and make roads icy. Zion roads are plowed, except the Kolob Terrace Road which is closed when covered with snow. Winter driving conditions last from November through March.

The term “depth theology” was coined especially by the Jewish philosopher of religion Abraham Heschel. He used it to denote a kind of pretheological common ground of religion to which one must return in interreligious dialogue. He compared theology and depth theology in a manner reminiscent of our distinction between the act of faith (fides qua) and the content or object of faith (fides quae):
-Notes on Chapter 2, The Afternoon of Christianity The Courage to Change, Tomáš Halík
“Theology is like sculpture, depth theology is like music. Theology is in the books, depth theology is in the hearts. The former is doctrine, the latter an event. Theologies divide us; depth theology unites us.”
-Abraham Heschel, Insecurity of Freedom: Essays on Human Existence (New York: Schocken Books, 1972), 119.

The term Sogod is an English term for beginning. And this was one of the reasons why the town of Sogod in Cebu started the Panagsogod Festival as not just a colorful celebration but a tradition in the local place.
Even in the legends of the town, Sogod is said to be the place where the white sands stretching far from the north really began and the place is also said as the borderline of the black and white beaches in Northern Cebu. The magic and wonder in Sogod have made the town not just a place to discover but also a place to unravel and explore.
The Panagsogod Festival brings the banner of the word sogod which means beginning. This is also a celebration festooned with colorful shades of street dancing and fiesta celebration of the town. The Panagsogod Festival is honored to the patron saint of Sogodanon, St. James the Apostle.
The Panagsogod Festival is an annual event in Sogod and it is just not a showcase of Sogod’s rich cultural heritage and natural wonders but also it is the time for the Sogodanons to become united with each other that will promote unity and peace all over the town. Local officials from Sogod make it sure that every year, the festival is a celebration of the true Sogodanon’s quality and attitude.
In the town of Sogod, The Panagsogod festival is also one way of the place to attract foreign visitors and business that might have an interest in the town’s bounty and beauty. The Panagsogod festival is Sogod’s pride and life. It reflects who the Sogodanons are. It is also a true implication that it is a festival of new beginnings as shown from the different people gathered together to celebrate and have fun.

This term has been used in antiquity already and means the destruction of memory or, politically, the erasure of a name from the public record. Elagabalus (also Heliogabalus or, more neutrally, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) is one of such erased names. He was the ill-famed Arab teenager Roman Emperor from 218 to 222 AD (assassinated at the age of 18). There are wildly diverging opinions about Heliogabalus - from the most incompetent emperor ever, via the "crowned anarchist" (Antonin Artaud) to what in today's terminology would be a transgender person. He is worth remembering, not just for his liberalism in matters of sexual life, but also for the impulses he gave for religious life. He imported the Syrian sun god Elagabal (a version of Ba'al) to Rome, conflated him with the Greek god Helios and the Roman Sol Invictus tradition and became himself their high priest (pontifex maximus). The symbolic representation of Elagabal was abstract, namely a black meteorite, also imported from Syria. The side-lining of Jupiter did not go down well in Rome and was one of the reasons why Elagabalus was murdered.

An Old English term for a "stake" is "pale".The Pale marks a boundary. When a person's behavior is "beyond the pale", it is out of bounds. A line of pales is a palisade. In this case, the "fence" around the fort. Fort Charlotte at Grand Portage National Monument is a reconstruction of the late 18th Century fort that served as a point of trade between trappers, fur buyers and Indians. The fort, located on the shore of Lake Superior, was at the end of the Grand Portage, an 8.5 mile footpath that bypassed a series of waterfalls on the Pigeon River.

Las Termas eran uno de los lugares mas atractivos y frecuentados por los ciudadanos. La entrada valía muy poco llegando a ser por periodos gratuita (costeada por algún ciudadano rico o político) y en dichas termas había servicios de todo tipo: masajes, música, poesía, lectura,... lucha o ejercicios y también prostitución...El horario solía ser de medio día( cuando el agua estaba ya caliente y las habitaciones calefactadas) hasta entrada la noche. Hombres y mujeres disponían de dependencias separadas, cuando esto no era posible se establecía horarios distintos...

Les bayous
Un monde amphibie étrange et fascinant.
Les Bayous de Louisiane
Le terme « bayous », qui signifie « serpent » en indien, désigne le vaste territoire de marécages qui s’étend au Sud-est de la Louisiane, dans le pays cajun. Les plus proches se situent à seulement une vingtaine de minutes en voiture de La Nouvelle Orléans, à Laplace.
Ces anciens bras et méandres du Mississippi ont nourri une forêt ressemblant à une jungle mystérieuse. Elle mélange en un dense fouillis des cyprès géants, dont les racines plongent au fond de l’eau, à des palétuviers, somptueux et mystérieux rideaux de mousse espagnole. Les bayous s’étendent sur des centaines d’hectares truffés de bras d’eau constituant un réseau navigable de milliers de kilomètres de boyaux qui vont et viennent dans un silence absolu et fascinant, mus par un mouvement très lent de marée, imperceptible. Cet espace amphibie de Louisiane était jadis occupé par les Cadiens qui vivaient de la pêche et de la chasse. Ces francophones ont baptisé leurs territoires de noms qui respirent encore la culture française : Bayou Vermillon, Bayou Bourdeu, Bayou Mouchoir de l’Ours ou Bayou Queue de Tortue…
Un rêve d’ornithologue
Ici, il n’est pas rare de voir apparaître des groupes d’alligators très impressionnants assurant le spectacle devant des touristes qui en restent souvent bouche bée. Ils sont incontestablement les stars des bayous. Ces marais sont également peuplés d’autres espèces animales aquatiques comme les tortues, les ragondins ou les ratons laveurs. Ils sont surtout un eldorado pour les passionnés d’ornithologie qui peuvent y observer environ 300 espèces d’oiseaux différentes : du héron bleu ou blanc au pélican blanc ou brun, en passant par le balbuzard et la buse à queue rousse, le gros bec, le cormoran, le martin-pêcheur, le canard ramier, sans oublier le fameux pygargue à tête blanche ou aigle d’Amérique, symbole de la nation.
Des excursions au cœur de cette nature sauvage, si caractéristique avec sa végétation aquatique entremêlée, sont organisées en bateau ou en barque à fond plat, notamment en fin de journée quand la magie du site est à son comble et que la faune y entonne un concert pour saluer la fin du jour. L’idéal est d’être guidé par un cajun de souche ou par un ancien chasseur d’alligators, toujours prêt à raconter de croustillantes anecdotes…
The term Mad as a Hatter comes from the 18th and 19th centuries. Many men who worked in the hat industry would experience insane-like symptoms due to mercury poisoning. Mercury was a key chemical that workers used to convert animal fur into felts for hats.
Optimo Hat Company was founded in 1996 by Graham Thompson, who has spent his career recovering and advancing the lost art of fine hatmaking. The journey has taken him around the world in search of the finest materials and in locating and bringing back to life antique machinery from the Golden Age of hatmaking.

While shooting at Oak Grove Lake with Lieutenant Clouse, we captured some fantastic shots during the "Blue hour."When is the Blue Hour?When looking at the blue hour and the golden hour, the blue hour generally produces the most unique lighting of the two hours. The blue hour is also the most misleading term as it doesn’t even come close to lasting a full hour. In reality, what photographers call the blue hour really only lasts about 20 minutes. The blue hour generally lasts the 20 to 30 minutes just after sunset and just before sunrise. For example, if the sun sets at 5PM, the blue hour would last from approximately 5:10PM to 5:30PM. If the sun rises at 5AM, the blue hour lasts from about 4:30AM to 4:50AM. The exact timing of the blue hour will vary from location to location and change depending on time of year and air quality.
