And have you changed your life?

This is the main church in Moseley Village, supposedly is more than 600 years old, but the current building dates to the 18th century.
It is a Grade II listed building.
A church of C15 origin, built as a chapel in the parish of Kings Norton but
a subsequent history of numerous rebuilds and enlargements. The plain stone
west tower is an early C16 addition but with much brick refacing. The body
of the church was rebuilt in 1780 and considerably altered by Thomas Rickman
1823-24. Finally, under Chatwins father and son, a complete reconstruction,
excluding the tower, was initiated. J A Chatwin added the north aisle 1886,
enlarged to chancel and provided a side chapel in 1897. The nave and south
aisle were rebuilt in 1910 by P B Chatwin who also carved out reconstruction
following war domain in 1952-54. Ashlar elevations in a competent simply
modelled Decorated style typical of the Chatwin practice. Crennellation
to tower parapet.
Church of St Mary, Moseley - Heritage Gateway
Below is info from Bill Dargue - places - Moseley
Moseley's parish church was founded rather later than Birmingham's other ancient churches. St Mary's is first mentioned in 1405 in a declaration of the church as a chapel-of-ease of Kings Norton church licensed by the Bishop of Worcester on the authority of Pope Innocent VII. It is likely to have been set up by wealthy local residents to save themselves the long journey to Kings Norton every Sunday morning. At that time the route ran via Dogpool Lane across the wide marshy valley of the River Rea, which was prone to flooding in winter. The oldest surviving part of the building is the tower which was built in 1514 using forty-eight wagon-loads of stone reused from Bromsgrove's old parsonage.
By 1780 the chapel had fallen into such disrepair that services could no longer be held here. The fallen roof was repaired and the church was encased in brick with fashionable round-headed windows in neo-classical style. But only forty years later, fashions had changed and the leading gothicist, Thomas Rickman was employed to remove the alterations and regothicise the church. He plastered the external brick-clad walls to look like stone, added cast-iron girders simulated as timber and put gothic-style iron frames in the windows.
Another forty years on and all of Rickman's work was lost in further gothic restoration. In 1876 the Birmingham architect, J A Chatwin restored, rebuilt and extended the building. Ten years later a north aisle was added, and in 1897 the chancel and transept were built, bringing the church to its present size. The nave and south aisle were reconstructed in 1910 by Chatwin's son, P B Chatwin who later also repaired the German bomb damage which occurred in 1940 during the Second World War.
St Mary's has a unique ring of bells which attracts visiting ringers from all over the country. The peal originated in Sheffield. In a pioneering venture in 1861, eight steel bells cast by a Sheffield foundry were loaned to St Marie's Roman Catholic Church. This was an unusual experiment as English bells have been made from time immemorial with a copper-tin alloy known as bell metal. In comparison with bell metal, steel bells are very heavy for the note they produce. The steel bells were bought for St Mary's in 1874 by Sir John Holder of Pitmaston, Moor Green.
However, when the church was partially rebuilt in 1910, the ringing room floor was removed and the bells could no longer be rung full circle, only chimed with hammers. Examination in 1979 found the bell installation to be unsafe and it was recommended that it should be removed. However, a suggestion was made to the Parochial Church Council that the bells could and should be restored, these being now the only surviving steel bells in the country. After a great deal of fund-raising and 5000 hours of volunteer labour, the restoration was completed by Easter 1991, when the bells were rung after morning service for the first time in over 80 years.
The lichen is producing an organic substrate, upon which other things may eventually live (maybe already do) and the rust is gradually decomposing the steel structure. Meanwhile the sunshine, frost and rain are fading and weakening the paint. Change is constant and inevitable.

Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan lost a case in the High Court in 2006 for the recognition by Ireland of their Canadian same-sex marriage.
The Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010 instituted civil partnership in Irish law. After the 2011 general election, the Fine Gael and Labour parties formed a coalition government, whose programme included the establishment of a Constitutional Convention to examine potential changes on specified issues, including "Provision for the legalisation of same-sex marriage". The Convention considered the issue in May 2013 and voted to recommend that the state should be required, rather than merely permitted, to allow for same-sex marriage. Its report was formally submitted in July and the government formally responded in December, when Taoiseach Enda Kenny said a referendum would be held on 22 May, 2015.
For some reason I found this road sign slightly amusing. It's warning about changes to the traffic priorities at the junction ahead, which is currently being rebuilt as part of Bradford's city centre regeneration project.

I understand different make up, but sometimes image change isn't what you'd expect or like (I have like 200 old style bottles)
This week will be a week full of wonderful changes. We're moving to our new home and we're so excited! Leaving our current home will be bittersweet, but we've endured a year of violent and hostile neighbors- and since nothing has changed and the property management company isn't doing anything about it, we've figured enough is enough. We've had too many sleepless nights, and the stress has gotten to us even more than we realize.
I'm glad we're moving. The new place is amazing. I can't wait to share the photos with you guys.
Hope you're all doing well! Hugs.

Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs
VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

It's been forecasted that Stamford's skyline is going to change rapidly, and the tower crane is a good indicator. You can see in the background of the picture the large tower crane that is currently building Trump Parc. In the lower left foreground of the picture, I thought the shadowed columns of the Bedford St. garage 3rd level was a nice effect.

In the 1960s, many bus operators realised that the spiral of higher costs leading to higher fares, leading to fewer passengers, had to be addressed. This meant experiments aimed at attracting passengers back to buses, making the service not just reliable but faster, more comfortable and - well, just more modern.
One of the operators at the forefront of this move was Manchester City Transport. The new initiatives included automatic fare collection equipment, buses with separate entrances and exits to speed boarding at busy centre stops, and a bright new red and white livery.
Many bus enthusiasts in Manchester think of the revolutionary 'Mancunian' bus, and the first Mancunian, 1001, is now in the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester. But actually they weren't Manchester's first move in this direction - in the previous months, Manchester took delivery of almost thirty Leyland 'Panther' buses and we see one of them here being inspected by MCT managers.
The gentleman on the right is Ralph Bennett, the General Manager of Manchester and the driving force behind the new direction. And who do we see on the step but Roy Hattersley MP, at the time a junior minister in the Ministry of Labour.
The bus was in the modern, light livery - in fact, red and cream which was changed later to red and white - and you can just see a sign telling intending passengers that there was a turnstile on board, which would only allow passengers to move through if they put money in a slot.
The livery was a success but the turnstiles were unreliable and were soon done away with - as, actually, were the Leyland Panthers which did not last as long as desired and were sold off after a few years.

The 41,170-acre Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness in New Mexico is a remote desolate area of steeply eroded badlands which offers some of the most unusual scenery found in the Four Corners region. Time and natural elements have etched a fantasy world of strange rock formations and fossils. It is an ever-changing environment that offers the visitor a remote wilderness experience. Translated from the Navajo language, Bisti means “a large area of shale hills” and is commonly pronounced (Bis-tie). De-Na-Zin (Deh-nah-zin) takes its name from the Navajo words for “cranes.” Petroglyphs of cranes have been found south of the wilderness area.
The two major geological formations found in the wilderness are the Fruitland Formation and the Kirtland Shale. The Fruitland Formation makes up most of what the visitor will see while in the badlands and contains interbedded sandstone, shale, mudstone, coal, and silt. The weathering of the sandstone forms the many spires and hoodoos (sculpted rock) found throughout the area. The Kirtland Shale contains rock of various colors and dominates the eastern part of the wilderness.
The Bureau of Land Management manages the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness to protect the area’s naturalness, special features, and opportunities for solitude and primitive types of recreation. Primitive types of recreation, such as hiking, backpacking, camping, wildlife viewing, photography, and horseback riding.

The Changing the Guard ceremony, or Guard Mounting as it is formally known, signifies the official handover of responsibility for the military security of the Royal Palaces in London.
Changing the Guard takes place outside Buckingham Palace from 10.45am and lasts around 45 minutes, with the actual handover taking place at 11am. The Buckingham Palace Old Guard forms up in the palace’s forecourt from 10.30am and is joined by the St James’s Palace Old Guard at around 10.45am. The New Guard then arrives from Wellington Barracks and takes over the responsibilities of the Old Guard in a formal ceremony accompanied by music.
The guard that looks after Buckingham Palace is called The Queen's Guard and is made up of soldiers on active duty from the Household Division’s Foot Guards. The guards are dressed in traditional red tunics and bearskin hats.
The ceremony is free to watch and currently takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, weather permitting.
