I did think we were not going up for Open House, but an invite from friends in the GWUK group meant we were up and about early, but before meeting them, we went to the Freemason's Hall.
I know very little about masons and their ways, other than one did give me an odd handshake last year, freaked me out, but they seemed nice enough.
Nice Hall to be sure.
-------------------------------------------
Freemasons' Hall in London is the headquarters of the United Grand Lodge of England and the Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England, as well as being a meeting place for many Masonic Lodges in the London area. It is located in Great Queen Street between Holborn and Covent Garden and has been a Masonic meeting place since 1775. There have been three Masonic buildings on the site, with the current incarnation being opened in 1933[citation needed].
Parts of the building are open to the public daily, and its preserved classic Art Deco style, together with its regular use as a film and television location, have made it a tourist destination.
In 1846, the World Evangelical Alliance was founded here.
Central to the present building is the Grand Temple, meeting place for Grand Lodge, Grand Chapter and a majority of the lodges in the Metropolitan Grand Lodge of London, as well as the annual meetings of a number of the Home Counties Provincial Grand Lodges, and for other Masonic degrees and orders to hold their annual meetings.
Many non-Masonic organisations also use the Grand Temple for numerous events as diverse as Fashion shows and Polytechnic award ceremonies. Bronze doors, each weighing one and a quarter tonnes, open on to a Chamber 123 feet (37 m) long, 90 feet (27 m) wide and 62 feet (19 m) high capable of seating 1,700.[3]
The ceiling cove is of Mosaic work and in addition to figures and symbols from Masonic ritual includes, in the corner, figures representing the four cardinal virtues – Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude, and Justice – and the Arms of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (second youngest son of Queen Victoria) Grand Master 1901–1939, at whose suggestion the Masonic Peace Memorial was built. A superb large pipe organ is installed, built by leading British organ builders Henry Willis & Sons and recently magnificently restored by Harrison and Harrison of Durham being completed in 2015 with funds provided by Supreme Grand Chapter, the governing body for Royal Arch Masonry in England, Wales and the Channel Islands; this work included the provision of a new "Grand" section of the instrument housed in a matching new case immediately behind and above the console, thus making three - rather than the two original 1933 structures - in total. The inaugural recital on the restored instrument was given on 30 September 2015 by Dr Thomas Trotter Organist of Birmingham Town Hall and [St Margaret's Church Westminster Abbey. Other concerts have been given since by Professor Dr Ian Tracey of Liverpool Cathedral and St George's Hall, London-based virtuoso Jane Parker-Smith and young concert organist David Gray. A further recital is by Dr John Kitchen, Organist to the City of Edinburgh is planned for Wednesday 13 September 2017.

BTO Educational ♥ Think Tank Umbria 2011
Todi, Palazzo della Vignola
29 e 30 Aprile 2011
Think Tank su:
Strategia e Turismo: dalla formulazione all'implementazione
Regione Umbria in collaborazione con Sandro Formica, Ph.D
Professore Associato di Strategia e Pianificazione del Turismo Florida International University, Miami
Torna in Umbria, sempre nella coerente cornice di Todi, il Think Tank [serbatoio di pensiero], a qualche mese di distanza dall'ultima tappa di Novembre 2010.
Il Think Tank è il format perfetto che ha l'obiettivo di creare il contesto ideale per l'elaborazione di strategie territoriali guardando verso il futuro del turismo, riunendo i portatori d'interesse pubblici e privati, contaminandoli con persone "neutre", ovvero non direttamente coinvolte, ma disponibili a portare il proprio contributo di esperienza.
Le persone che partecipano ad un Think Tank offrono e ricevono: contribuiscono con la propria partecipazione, ricevono un'esperienza di alta qualità.
La merce di scambio è appunto questa.
I really think this is perfect on a white Christmas tree...I just don't have one!
I have come up with my own lightweight, clay-like material which is perfect for making these ornament. These sets are much better and detailed than my sets last year.

We met an Argentine magician at El Saco Beach who took a liking to my not-sister Ninel, and performed a few tricks for her.

“Entering, I think, his teens, Thomas was removed to another school then in great repute, at Prescot, of which Mr [Teatle?] was master. There he made a great proficiency both in writing and accounts or arithmetic. Had he remained there a little time longer, his master expressed his opinion very confidently that he should have made a first rate Pensman out of him. But my Father had other views about him, and thinking that he wrote sufficiently well for any useful purposes, placed him under the care and tuition of Mr Hayes who was afterwards steward at Knowsley Hall, but was then employed in measuring and mapping the Derby Estates in the south of Lancashire, that he might learn practical [measuration ?] on the field, where it was best taught. Accordingly he accompanied Mr Hayes through several townships about Ormskirk, viz Burscough, Bickerstaffe I think, and perhaps Rainsford, in all which Lord Derby has large landed possessions...
Having now arrived at the age of fifteen years, and having long laid aside his boyish frolics and subsided into a staid and promising young man: for a man he appeared to be in stature if not in years; it was in contemplation to put him to some business or some pursuit to which his own inclinations might lead him, or for which his sound English education might have fitted him.
It was then, when the choice of a state was to be made, Thomas declared to the surprise of most, and to the regret of some, that his predilections leaned to the Ecclesiastical state and that in order to fit himself for it he wished to repair to the English secular College at Douay, then in its highest repute. After some delay to ascertain whether he persisted in his choice, he was received into that College of which The Revd Mr Wm Gibson -afterwards Bishop- was President, and our relation Mr Daniel was Vice-President .”
[John Penswick, from a letter preserved at Ushaw College Library, ref. GB 0298 UC/H410]
The suppression of Catholicism in England from 1559 onward prompted some Catholic clergy to relocate to the European mainland and there establish places of learning where young men could, in conditions of relative safety and security, be trained for the priesthood. The English College at Douai, in Flanders, began to receive students from England in 1568, and by 1603 had sent back nearly 500 newly-ordained priests to minister in secret to the Catholic laity at home. Thomas Penswick was 16 when he arrived there from Garswood on 26 January 1788, and John just 12 years old when he followed on 30 November 1790. Both would be caught up in the events of the French Revolution, which led eventually to the expulsion of masters and students from the College in 1793.
Although Douai did not cater exclusively for those seeking ordination -P R Harris observes in his introduction to “Douai College Documents 1693-1797”, CRS Record Series No. 63 (1972), that “about 75% of Douai's students during this period did not proceed to the priesthood, which demonstrates the important part which Douai played in educating the English Catholic laity”- I can find no evidence that the oldest brother, Randolph Penswick, also attended. The explanation may be that whereas the fees for clerical students at Douai were paid out of a grant from the Pontifical College in Rome, lay students had to be supported financially by their parents and friends. As previously mentioned, Randolph succeeded his father as steward to the Gerards around 1790.
John Daniel, who was to be the last president of the English College at Douai before its suppression in 1793, was a cousin of the Penswick boys' father, Thomas.

Just doing a simple shot of Malaysia's Judicary building in Putrajaya. The visibility and whether is so nice that I must include the sky in the image. This shot was taken before I go to find a place to shot for my previous image. Attracted with the shadow from the building at back of me and the shadow make somewhat this building look more interesting.
What do you think ?, In the mean time, Enjoy the View :D

The Think Tank located within the Brayford Enterprise Park, on the historically important site used for the prototype testing of the original military tank.
The tank affiliation has informed the design and name of the building, as well as all the signage and building logo. One elevation has track-like staggered walls replicating tank treads, whilst the main entrance elevation has the curves and rivets that emulate a tank turret. In addition the choice of Rockpanel Chameleon as the exterior cladding gives the building a multi-coloured, camouflage-like quality that changes its tone from greens, bronze and black according to daylight levels.
With the University of Lincoln’s future expansion the Think Tank is set to be part of the University’s campus. On Ruston Way, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Here I am trying to follow advice given to me to, "Think Happy Thoughts." Anything uplifting will do in these troubled times. Prayers for sane leadership !
3 Flickr contacts wrote to me yesterday asking about California's fires, 2 of which are in N. California, one in Mendocino country. They are not near the coast and hopefully will be contained soon. Two much smaller fires did break out on the coast nearby on the weekend. Both were put out overnight by local responders. May bands of angels protect all of us, near and far.
