As a consequence of the intellectual and erudite nature of the inhabitants of Baeza, they decided to create their own University at the end of the XVI century, a long time before these of Jaén or Úbeda.
The building, one of the few with Mannerist style that the city has, was founded by the priest Rodrigo López, a relative of the Pope Paulo III, upon the Saint León chapel, a plot transferred by the Council in 1571.
Firstly, a first letters school was created dedicated to the Holly Trinity. Nevertheless, with the arrival of Juan de Ávila in 1540, new teachings were introduced as Liberal Studies, secondary education, degrees and doctorates in Arts and Theology.
The first students' graduation took place in 1549 and they became the professors of the future University. Their effort and good performance convert this University of Baeza into the best university in Andalusia during the years. However, due to the parish character of the University, a phenomenon of exaltation occurred between the students, known as "illuminati", which forced the intervention of the Inquisition Court, something that finished with the imprisonment of the most distinguished teachers.
In 1565, new Rhetoric, Grammar, Greek Philosophy and Theology chairs were created. With the arrival of Pedro Fernández de Córdoba to the management, the institution would be elevated to a higher position. Due to that, he designed an enlargement which finished with the construction of the Saint Jean Evangelist church.
The University remained until 1824. Nevertheless, the lessons on the primary school continued with these of Latin; followed by the creation of a Liberal Studies School and after a high-school -where Antonio Machado worked as a teacher-, and these days there is a secondary education centre.
The architecture is similar to that of the renaissance palaces.
The Paraninfo or Assembly hall is placed in the courtyard.
The Sierra County Courthouse was built with WPA labor in 1939 (the same year in which The Wizard of Oz was released).
The long and strange name of the county seat comes from the name of the popular radio game show called Truth or Consequences hosted by Ralph Edwards. Edwards promised that he would come to the first town in the country that would change its name in honor of his show. So in the year 1950, this town changed its name, and Edwards came to here every first weekend in May for the next fifty years at which time a community celebration would occur. The town's original name was Hot Springs. So this courthouse was built back when the town went by a different name.
The county's former seat was located at the mining town of Hillsboro. Click on this link to see a picture of the ruins of the 1892 Sierra County Courthouse that still stand there: www.flickr.com/photos/99491151@N00/3152879454/in/set-7215...
Mission Peak RP, Fremont, CA
Over the years or even maybe as of 3-4 years ago Mission Peak popularity has gone out of control. Which is good and bad at the same time. One of the really bad things is that people leave their trash and leftover food and these guys are learning young.
The joyful consequence of being here midweek, together with the earlier bad weather, meant there were no more than twenty or so people dotted along the sweeping curve of this 3 mile stretch of beach, standing out from the scenery like L S Lowry stick people placed against a vast backdrop of nature rather than an urban cityscape. With stoic determination they wrested from the day what enjoyment they could. Meanwhile, under a grey dome of overcast sky, with the sun a soft glowing sphere of white, various flocks of clouds wandered on mild winds, outriders of the oncoming storm that was darkening the horizon. But nature was in no hurry to perform, waves mere inches high, rolled towards the shore, making gentle sighing sounds as they broke languidly, seemingly reluctant to wet the land. Everything seemed to move slowly, the sea, the clouds, even the light. Heartbeat, breathing, thinking, all slowed in natural sympathy...then, connection made...measured against the universe our physical bodies are so small, one microscopic point within a vast and immeasurable physical existence, insubstantial, insignificant and yet, our consciousness, our awareness, is limitless, it fills the space in between the objects, it encompasses those objects...like our imaginations, we are boundless.

Red marble lions guarding the steps to the Victorian nave pulpit at Worcester.
Worcester Cathedral is the commanding presence on the skyline of the city, perched on high ground overlooking the River Severn. It is one of England's most rewarding cathedrals, though denied first rank status owing to the heavy handed Victorian restorations it underwent, an unavoidable consequence of being built of soft red sandstone (a problem shared with Chester and Lichfield) and thus a 19th century feel pervades inside and out in it's mostly renewed external stonework and furnishings.
The cathedral impresses with it's scale, one or our longer churches, crowned by a magnificent central tower (originally surmounted by a lead spire, lost sometime after the Refomation; subtle alterations to the tower's design were made when it was refaced in the Victorian restoration) and with a secondary pair of transepts flanking the choir (as at Salisbury, Lincoln, Rochester & Canterbury). Of the former monastic buildings the cloister and Norman chapter house have survived (along with the refectory, now part of neighbouring King's School), making this a more complex and enjoyable building to explore.
The earliest parts are of the Norman period with the superb 12th century crypt under the choir. The west end of the nave is also Norman work, though very late and unusual in design, with transitional pointed arches. However the bulk of the building we see dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, the east end in Early English gothic style (where most of the windows were restored to stepped lancets by Sir George Gilbert Scott during the Victorian restoration, having been altered over the centuries), whilst the remainder of the nave and tower largely of the Decorated period (the cathedral originally also possessed a detached octagonal bell tower with a lead spire, which stood near the north east corner but was demolished in 1647).
Of the original furnishings little remains beyond the fine set of misericords in the choir stalls. The stained glass too is nearly entirely Victorian (only some meagre, much restored medieval fragments survive in traceries of the south aisle). Much of the Victorian glass is quite impressive, particularly the great east and west windows by Hardman's of Birmingham.
Worcester is however especially rich in tombs and monuments of all periods, with medieval effigies of bishops, knights and ladies, not all in good condition but worth seeking out. There are also several large tombs from the post-Reformation period (especially in the cluttered south aisle) and some fine Baroque work in the north transept.
The most significant of the monuments here are Royal; in the centre of the choir lies the fine 13th century effigy of King John, best remembered for signing the Magna Carta. Nearby is the superb chantry chapel of Prince Arthur, elder brother of Henry VIII, whose premature death aged 15 changed England forever (one of the most pivotal moments in our history, had he survived the Reformation may never have happened). The gorgeous late Perpendicular gothic chapel stands to the south of the High Altar and is remarkable for it's rich sculpted detail.
Instructor Kristen Chadwick. Advanced Insect and Disease Field Session: Identification, Life Cycles, Control Measures and Silvicultural Regimes. Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington.
"Insect and disease conditions can complicate harvest plans and affect silvicultural regimes. These pests can also cause economic and aesthetic damages with long-lasting consequences. Resource managers need a solid understanding of pest biology and management options to make informed silvicultural, harvest planning and management decisions. This field session offers the most advanced and in-depth insect and disease training available in the Pacific Northwest. The attendees will spend one-on-one field time with top-level entomologists and pathologists from the Pacific Northwest region and gain real-life experience in developing management regimes and silvicultural measures. Each day will consist of site visits to infected stands for a first-hand look and discussion of particular insect and disease problems. Attendees will learn identification, biology, response to stand conditions and management options. Small group sessions will be used to develop management strategies and mock stand prescriptions. The region’s leading entomologists and pathologists will be on hand to provide assistance and advice as the prescriptions are developed."

A Colt Model 1881 Gatling gun in the New York State Military Museum in Saratoga Springs.
Interesting bit of history behind this weapon that I never knew: It was invented by a physician.
Dr. Richard Gatling, the story goes, hoped to reduce the size of armies and therefore the number of people being killed. He thought he could do this by improving the efficiency of the killing, so he invented and patented one of the first workable machine guns, firing 200 shots a minute.
I really can’t follow the logic, myself.
Gatling’s gun saw very limited use in the U.S. Civil War, but new and improved versions were soon in use around the world. It was quickly replaced by faster, more efficient machine guns, though electric-powered Gatling guns that can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute remain in service today.

Flores is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, an island arc with an estimated area of 14,300 km² extending east from the Java island of Indonesia. The population was 1,831,000 in the 2010 census and the largest town is Maumere. Flores is Portuguese (as well as Spanish) for "flowers".
Flores is located east of Sumbawa and Komodo and west of Lembata and the Alor Archipelago. To the southeast is Timor. To the south, across the Sumba strait, is Sumba and to the north, beyond the Flores Sea, is Sulawesi.
On 12 December 1992, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale occurred, killing 2,500 people in and around Maumere, including islands off the North coast.
HOMO FLORESIENSIS
In September 2004, at Liang Bua Cave in western Flores, paleoanthropologists discovered small skeletons that they described as a previously unknown hominin species, Homo floresiensis. These are informally named hobbits and appear to have stood about 1 m tall. The most complete individual (LB1) is dated as 18,000 years old.
HISTORY
Portuguese traders and missionaries came to Flores in the 16th century, mainly to Larantuka and Sikka. Their influence is still discernible in Sikka's language, culture and religion.
The Dominican order was extremely important in this island, as well as in the neighbouring islands of Timor and Solor. When in 1613 the Dutch attacked the Fortress of Solor, the population of this fort, led by the Dominicans, moved to the harbor town of Larantuka, on the eastern coast of Flores. This population was mixed, of Portuguese and local islanders descent and Larantuqueiros, Topasses (people that wear heats) or, as Dutch knew them, the 'Black Portuguese' (Swarte Portugueezen).
The Larantuqueiros or Topasses became the dominant sandalwood trading people of the region for the next 200 years. This group used Portuguese as the language for worship, Malay as the language of trade and a mixed dialect as mother tongue. This was observed by William Dampier, an English privateer visiting the Island in 1699:
These [the Topasses] have no Forts, but depend on their Alliance with the Natives: And indeed they are already so mixt, that it is hard to distinguish whether they are Portuguese or Indians. Their Language is Portuguese; and the religion they have, is Romish. They seem in Words to acknowledge the King of Portugal for their Sovereign; yet they will not accept any Officers sent by him. They speak indifferently the Malayan and their own native Languages, as well as Portuguese.
In 1846, Dutch and Portuguese initiated negotiations towards delimiting the territories but these negotiations led nowhere. In 1851 the new governor of Timor, Solor and Flores, Lima Lopes, faced with an impoverished administration, agreed to sell eastern Flores and the nearby islands to the Dutch in return for a payment of 200,000 Florins. Lima Lopes did so without the consent of Lisbon and was dismissed in disgrace, but his agreement was not rescinded and in 1854 Portugal ceded all its historical claims on Flores. After this, Flores became part of the territory of Dutch East Indies.
During World War II a Japanese invasion force landed at Reo on 14 May 1942 and occupied Flores.
After the war Flores became part of independent Indonesia.
ADMINISTRATION
Flores is part of the East Nusa Tenggara province. The island along with smaller minor islands are split into eight regencies (local government districts); from west to east these are: Manggarai Barat (West Manggarai), Manggarai Tengah (Central Manggarai), Manggarai Timur (East Manggarai), Ngada, Nagekeo, Ende, Sikka and Flores Timur (East Flores). Flores has 39.1% of the East Nusa Tenggara provincial population as of 2010, and the most Indonesians of all islands in the province.
It is the island with the 9th most Indonesians. Among all islands containing Indonesian territory, it is the 10th most populous after Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, New Guinea, Bali, Madura, Lombok, and Timor.
FLORA AND FAUNA
The west coast of Flores is one of the few places, aside from the island of Komodo itself, where the Komodo dragon can be found in the wild, and is part of Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kelimutu National Park is the second national park designated on Flores to protect endangered species. The Flores giant rat is also endemic to the island, and Verhoeven's giant tree rat was formerly present. These giant rodents are considered examples of island gigantism.
Flores was also the habitat of several extinct dwarf forms of the proboscidean Stegodon, the most recent (Stegodon florensis insularis) disappearing approximately 12,000 years ago. It is speculated by scientists that limited resources and an absence of advanced predators made the few megafaunal species that reached the island subject to insular dwarfism.
CULTURE
There are many languages spoken on the island of Flores, all of them belonging to the Austronesian family. In the centre of the island in the districts of Ngada, Nagekeo, and Ende there is what is variously called the Central Flores Dialect Chain or the Central Flores Linkage. Within this area there are slight linguistic differences in almost every village. At least six separate languages are identifiable. These are from west to east: Ngadha, Nage, Keo, Ende, Lio and Palu'e, which is spoken on the island with the same name of the north coast of Flores. Locals would probably also add So'a and Bajawa to this list, which anthropologists have labeled dialects of Ngadha.
The peoples of Flores are almost entirely Roman Catholic Christians, whereas most other Indonesians are Muslim. As a consequence, Flores may be regarded as surrounded by a religious border. The prominence of Catholicism on the island results from its colonisation by Portugal. In other parts of Indonesia with significant Christian populations, such as the Maluku Islands and Sulawesi, the geographical divide is less rigid and Muslims and Christians sometimes live side by side. Flores thereby also has less religious violence that has sporadically occurred in other parts of Indonesia. There are several churches on the island.
TOURISM
The most famous tourist attraction in Flores is Kelimutu, a volcano containing three colored lakes, located in the district of Ende close to the town of Moni. These crater lakes are in the caldera of a volcano, and fed by a volcanic gas source, resulting in highly acidic water. The colored lakes change colors on an irregular basis, depending on the oxidation state of the lake from bright red through green and blue.
There are snorkelling and diving locations along the north coast of Flores, most notably Maumere and Riung. However, due to the destructive practice of local fishermen using bombs to fish, and locals selling shells to tourists, combined with the after effects of a devastating tsunami in 1992, the reefs have slowly been destroyed.
Labuan Bajo (on the western tip of Flores) is a town often used by tourists as a base to visit Komodo and Rinca. Labuanbajo also attracts scuba divers, as whale sharks inhabit the waters around Labuanbajo.
The Luba and Bena villages include traditional houses in Flores, Bena is also noted for its Stone Age megaliths.
Larantuka, on the isle's eastern end, is known for its Holy Week festivals.
ECONOMY
In addition to tourism, the main economic activities on Flores are agriculture, fishing and seaweed production. The primary food crops being grown on Flores are rice, maize, sweet potato and cassava, while the main cash crops are coffee, coconut, candle nut and cashew. Flores is one of the newest origins for Indonesian coffee. Previously, most Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) from Flores was blended with other origins. Now, demand is growing for this coffee because of its heavy body and sweet chocolate, floral and woody notes.

My oh-so-good friend Annie, in the middle, turned 80 today. We had a lovely luncheon for her. Although she has many more friends there were 12 of us to celebrate at the Timberwolf restaurant.
Annie's bashed up eye is testament to the fact that she is such an active person (with the occasional consequence).

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
Auf einer Fläche von 60.000 m² hat nun die einzigartige Tierwelt des Himalaya Einzug gehalten. Dabei begegnen den Bergsteiger*innen nicht nur bekannte Gebirgsbewohner wie Rote Pandas, Schneeleoparden und Bartgeier, sondern auch weniger bekannte Arten wie Goldtakin, Goral, Manul und Satyrtragopan. Nach einer Bauzeit von gut einem Jahr verwandelte sich der 60 Meter hohe Trümmerberg in eine asiatische Gebirgslandschaft mit zahlreichen neuen Aussichtpunkten. Rund 100 Individuen aus 22 verschiedenen – größtenteils in der Natur bedrohten - Tierarten haben in Berlins Hochgebirge ihr neues Zuhause gefunden. (Quelle: Tierpark Berlin)
The unique animal world of the Himalayas has now found its way into an area of 60,000 m². Climbers will not only encounter well-known mountain dwellers such as red pandas, snow leopards and bearded vultures, but also lesser-known species such as takin, goral, Pallas'scat and satyr tragopan. After a construction period of just over a year, the 60-metre-high mountain of rubble was transformed into an Asian mountain landscape with numerous new vantage points. Around 100 individuals from 22 different animal species - most of them endangered in the wild - have found their new home in Berlin's high mountains. (Source: Tierpark Berlin)

Journal Entry, May 23, 2037
Ten years...It's been ten years since this all started, and now, I have nothing. This endless snow has taken everything I once held dear, my family, my friends, my life, but there is one thing that it will never take from me. My humanity. I found a corpse along the road, grey, and frostbitten, no shirt, but at least pants. He deserved better than that.
A consequence of "The Great Overrun" as we called it was the operationally precarious position we were put in of the new Down Coventry Line - on which 56303 is seen here - being left unelectrified on commissioning, other than through the new Rugby platform 1 itself.
This meant that only diesel hauled traffic could use this line in its entirety from the new Hillmorton Junction to Trent Valley Junction, causing congestion and delay.
This was not only due to the resultant physical conflicts at Hillmorton and Rugby itself, but because of the need to confirm with (mainly freight) drivers whether their train was electrically hauled.
TRUST/TOPS cannot be used for this purpose, and there was no GSMR back then.
Despite this irritating situation persisting from January until April, I am am pleased to say no electric trains were routed towards this unelectrified line by staff at Rugby PSB.

Saint-Laurent,
D213.
Les agriculteurs, les entrepreneurs, les particuliers sont obligés de se garer de la sorte pour essayer de réduire les chances de se faire voler!
Car d'un côté, la France se fait piller par des bandes toujours plus nombreuses et toujours mieux organisées à qui l'on donne en plus, souvent, le gîte et le couvert.
De l'autre des élus indifférents et inconséquents se répandent en mensonges et discours démagogiques écrits par d'autres pour endormir les masses de bovidés qui croient les élire en toute subjectivité!
Et pendant ce temps nos élus se baignent dans la luxure aux frais du contribuable pendant que le français moyen passe ses journées au travail pour s’apercevoir en rentrant qu'on leur a volé le peu qu'ils avaient.
Quel mépris!
Quelle honte!
Un employé ou un ouvrier se feraient immédiatement virer s'il faisait le millième de ce que les politiques font ou de ce qu'ils ne font pas!
Though most of you are here tonight because you care about youth issues, or maybe you're kindly supportive of your friends and their political endeavors, some of you might be here because you heard there would be a speaker with some expertise on the subject we’re here to discuss. I assure you that we tried for various experts and public icons but the timing wasn't quite right, and, as of two days ago, I am the speaker, so I'm going to do my best to pretend I'm an expert. Having a young person speak – and not a politician, or a professor, or some public intellectual – is, perhaps, in many ways more appropriate. The issues we need to talk about tonight and after this evening deeply affect us as students and young professionals. The consequences of the government's policies and decisions to date will be shouldered by us and the society we inherit, so we should be the ones concerned and we should be the ones speaking out.
How does what's happened in Ottawa since January 2006 – since the Conservative Government came into power and Stephen Harper became Prime Minister – affect us: young people, students, youth, young professionals? This was the basic question we wanted to ask and the reason for organizing this event.
We wanted to find out what Mr. Harper and the Conservative Party have done for young Canadians since forming government over a year ago. What we found should concern us all. In 2006, the "New Government of Canada" had a surplus of $13.2 billion. With this money, how did they invest in our future?
• They cut an astounding $55 million from Youth Employment Initiatives.
• They eliminated the Youth Environmental Internship Program.
• They cut $10 million dollars from the Foreign Affairs Youth International Internship Program.
• They cut $18 million from the Literacy Skills Program.
• And they cut $10 million by eliminating the Canada Volunteerism Initiative.
I could go on but the point is this: in 2006 the Conservative Government made $1 billion in cuts to programs related to education, employment and volunteerism targeted at or important to youth. And remember, all of this despite the fact that there was a $13.2 billion surplus.
And that was just youth stuff:
• They cut $64.6 million from Foreign Affairs and another $4 million from the Canadian International Development Agency
• They said they were "Green" and they cut $10.5 million from the Environment.
So, in March 2006, young people were understandably upset; and not just Liberals: the Sierra Youth Coalition and the Youth Environmental Network were right to point out young Canadians wanted reductions in greenhouse gases, not in climate change funding.
Now, if we fast-forward to March 2007, we remember everyone was talking about a spring election. If you look at this year's budget, on the surface it looks a lot better than 2006's - until you look beyond the shock and awe way they threw money at everything, mostly at Quebec, and you realize young people have still been left behind.
• The Conservatives talk about research and scientific advancement at the same time they cut $970 million from the Indirect Costs of Research Program.
• They talk about supporting students while they don't put a penny into the pockets of undergraduate students at all. There's money for Canada's top graduate students but most young Canadians remain unsupported.
• There's no plan for student debt, there's no plan to ensure that the expiring Millennium Scholarship funding remains in the system as needs-based student grants, and there's no plan to make education more affordable for low and middle income families.
• The international internships they cut in 2006 are still cut. And yesterday it was revealed by the Globe and Mail that the Harper Government has been aware of totally unacceptable human rights violations occurring in Afghanistan, so the need to develop young professionals with expertise in human rights, democratic development, good governance, and international development should be all the more clear.
• Finally, it's been over a year since the Conservatives promised to build 125,000 childcare spaces in Canada within 5 years. They haven't built one. Either they have magical carpenters up their sleeve or they weren't serious about creating choice and supporting young families – particularly young mothers – who might want pursue career or educational development opportunities.
The 2006 Conservative Budget was short-sighted while the 2007 Budget merely paid lip service to competitiveness, environmental stewardship and social justice. In short, since January 2006, the Conservative Government has done nothing to position Canada for the 21st Century. It has neglected youth and young adults, and set us at a disadvantage in an increasingly competitive world.
These are a lot of numbers and these things can get lost in abstraction. The main point is this: we have young researchers at the University of Calgary and the University of Alberta who are considering closing shop and leaving for the US or Europe because there isn't sufficient funding for them here. We have young Canadians who are willing and excited to work for very little in developing countries to improve our image abroad and learn about international development and good governance – these youth have fewer opportunities for internships than others did just 2 years ago. We have a government that seems completely unaware of how much debt we're accumulating in our undergraduate years; how expensive the cost of living is in our cities; and how hard it is to find day care spaces if you're a new family. We have a government that just realized a year ago that climate change was real, and that can only put together an environmental plan by copying Liberal, NDP and Green Party ideas.
This is why, tonight, we figured it was necessary to party for our future, because the Conservatives aren't acting like a party for the future at all. Stephen Harper and the Conservative strategists are counting on the fact that young people don't vote and that they're too occupied to pay attention to things like federal budgets. We need to make it very clear that we will vote, we are paying attention, and that we're not happy about the direction Canada is going. We also need to know what we want.
Here are a few ideas:
• We need to appoint a Minister for Post Secondary Education that could work with Provincial Governments to ensure, if young Canadians get the grades, they get to go to university or college regardless of their family's income and savings.
• We need to reverse cuts to Research and Development and ensure Canada retains its bright young scientists.
• We need to appoint a Minister of State for Youth Skills Development responsible for establishing a world-class national volunteer and work experience program for secondary school graduates.
• We need to invest in international internships, and Foreign Affairs Canada, and the Canadian International Development Agency because what's happening in Afghanistan, whether you support the war are not, should and absolutely must occur within the bounds of the Geneva Convention and should respect the norms of international human rights we have championed for decades.
• We need to support and enhance programs like Katimavik so that young Canadians have a better understanding of what their citizenship means.
These are all new Liberal commitments to young people, but they could also serve as a framework for broader consensus between the progressive parties of Canada. We need to work together to ensure our leaders in Ottawa and our leaders in Edmonton fully realize the benefits and necessity of investing in us. Mr. Dion has a 5 point plan for youth that is circulating around tonight, and that's the kind of commitment we should be demanding from every politician who aims to lead our country. For me, the most exciting point is the last one: he proposes the creation of a National Youth Advisory Committee to bring youth issues to the attention of Parliament. It's exciting because it recognizes the fact that young people need to identify their concerns and take responsibility for enacting change – that no one else is a more appropriate spokesperson and advocate for our issues than us. We have politicians and leaders here tonight that are willing to listen and learn about the things that concern us. Please take the opportunity to talk to them and share your experiences and ideas.
We wanted to organize tonight so that it would be the beginning of something larger. I hope everyone has fun and I sincerely hope that everybody leaves feeling like they can have a place in a movement to create a better, more future-focused society here in Canada.

Prayer Vigil and Memorial ,and Peaceable assembly in Honor of Robert Lavoy Finicum. At the Sierra County NM courthouse ( Seventh Judicial District Court)
in Truth or Consequences the county seat .
From Hughes Mortuary website
" Robert LaVoy Finicum was born on January 27, 1961 in Kanab, UT and was murdered the day before his 55th birthday on January 26, 2016. LaVoy was born to David and Nelda Finicum and had six siblings, Sherre, Guy, Jody, Jill, Misty, and Tadi. LaVoy was married to Dorthea Jeanette Finicum on February 18, 1994 and together they have eleven children, Thara, Belle, Tell, Tawny, Arianna, Brittney, Mitch, Thomas, Challice, Danielle, and Tean. Combined they have 19 grandchildren with three more on the way.
LaVoy went to school in Page Arizona. He served a full time mission in the Dakotas for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints of which he was a faithful member his whole life. He served in many church positions; among them: the Young Men’s program, Ward Mission leader, Elders Quorum president, a High Priest leader and a member of the Bishopric. LaVoy worked many years in property management but his passions were helping children and ranching. LaVoy had over 50 foster boys whom he was able to have in his home and mentor over the course of the past 19 years. He loved working on his ranch and teaching his children how to ride horses, brand cows, and most of all, to follow Christ. LaVoy loved God, his family, and his country. He believed that the Constitution of the United States was inspired by God and he was willing to, and did, die while defending our freedoms stated within. "
Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe. Both have now a common directorate.
Im Tierpark Berlinsind 2023 rund 20 lebensgroßen Dinosaurier, über den Park verteilt, zu sehen.. Die tonnenschweren Nachbildungen sind nicht nur optisch bis ins Detail ihren lebenden „Vorfahren“ nachempfunden. Spezielle Technik lässt die Dinosaurier täuschend echt wiederbelebt erscheiunen. Sie zeigen so auch typische Bewegungsabläufe und geben akustische Laute von sich. Zusätzlich zu den beweglichen Exponaten erfahren die Besucher*innen in einer thematischen Ausstellung mehr über die Lebensweise der Dinosaurier und können erstaunliche Parallelen zur heutigen Tierwelt entdecken. „Dinosaurier gelten als das bekannteste Symbol für ausgestorbene Tierarten – die Faszination für T-Rex und seine Artgenossen ist bis heute ungebrochen“, verkündet Zoo- und Tierpark-Direktor Dr. Andreas Knieriem. „Und das Thema Artensterben ist hockaktuell – über 37.000 Arten gelten derzeit weltweit als unmittelbar vom Aussterben bedroht. Auch heutige Giganten, wie der Afrikanische Elefant oder das Spitzmaulnashorn, könnten – wenn wir nicht intervenieren – ausgerottet werden“, ergänzt Knieriem. Die Dinosaurier-Ausstellung ist von April bis Oktober 2023 zu sehen. Der Besuch bei Triceratops und Co. ist im regulären Eintrittspreis enthalten.

In 2023, around 20 life-size dinosaurs are on display in the Berlin Animal Park, spread throughout the park. The replicas, which weigh several tonnes, are not only visually modelled on their living "ancestors" down to the last detail. Special technology makes the dinosaurs look as if they have been brought back to life. They also show typical movements and make acoustic sounds. In addition to the moving exhibits, visitors can learn more about the dinosaurs' way of life in a thematic exhibition and discover astonishing parallels to the animal world of today. "Dinosaurs are considered the best-known symbol of extinct animal species - the fascination with T-Rex and his fellow species is still unbroken today," announces Zoo and Animal Park Director Dr. Andreas Knieriem. "And species extinction is highly topical - more than 37,000 species are currently considered to be in imminent danger of extinction worldwide. Even today's giants, such as the African elephant or the black rhinoceros, could - if we don't intervene - be wiped out," adds Knieriem. The dinosaur exhibition is on display from April to October 2023. A visit to Triceratops and Co. is included in the regular admission price.

In the early 1960s the Dean of Chichester Cathedral, Walter Hussey, and Chapter considered that the Sanctuary and High Altar looked rather drab and gloomy.
As a consequence, behind the High Altar, the reredos of painted wood dating from 1910 was removed and there were many discussions as to what should replace it. Hussey thought that there should be some strong colour in this area, perhaps a painting, and asked Henry Moore to suggest a suitable artist; Moore suggested John Piper (1903-1992).
After much deliberation, Piper considered that a tapestry occupying the whole area behind the altar would be best, even though he had never designed a tapestry before. Preliminary ideas and sketches were discussed by Dean and Chapter, and Piper worked closely with skilled French weavers to ensure that everything was perfect. John Piper is recorded as saying that the Chichester tapestry was “in some ways the most frightening commission” he had ever received.
Installed in 1966, the Piper Tapestry consists of seven panels each 1 metre wide and 5 metres high and was woven by Pinton Freres at Felletin near Aubusson in France, where a few years earlier the Sutherland tapestry for Coventry Cathedral had been made. The tapestry covers the sixteenth century oak reredos from the bishopric of Robert Sherborne, (1508-1536), the oak gothic canopies can be seen just above the tapestry.
The subject of the tapestry is the Holy Trinity which is represented by the central green triangle as a symbol of indivisibility. God the Father – the Light of the World – is represented by the white disc of the sun. God the Son is represented by the purple tau cross [Greek letter T], and the Holy Spirit is represented by the feathered flame. Piper uses the tau cross for authenticity because only Roman citizens were crucified on a ‘traditional’ cross and Jesus was not a Roman citizen.
The ancient Greeks thought that the world and the universe were created form four elements, Earth, Air Fire and Water. These are depicted above the images of the Trinity form left to right.

She Rose (In consequence and set us free!)
For this picture my source was the Women, their struggle for independence in Ireland 1916, Using historical photos, that capture what I call, their lives sacred traces in time. They together form the strong conscious silhouette of Countess Constance Markievicz, wearing her exotic black feathered war hat! In her hand a pistol erects up to challenge Nelson's Column (phallus for the British empire now gone!) She' rises, the gathered women who risked their lives to stand for Ireland in 1916, form her neck & shoulders, all their faces become a shawl of Women's souls like smiling stars! Together, 'She' walks up O'Connell street in the moment of the Irish Easter Rising 1916, going on up to G.P.O post office to fight for our Republic!
All the women I have portrayed into this picture are among those who in 1916 risked their lives to stand together for Ireland's freedom and a better society for all. As I journeyed into a commune with their faces I felt their laughter camaraderie and spirit as they kindly let me try to find them!
This is the first of a series of new large pictures I have been creating for an exhibition I wish about the tide of the people of Ireland and their audacious declaration of independence from the British Empire in 1916. They are all reflections brought to life thru' a willful wonder let emerge and echo in all its faithful living mystery from the old photos sacred traces, caught, forever curious, moments of life in time.

She Rose
I called this picture 'She Rose' as inevitably the Irish did rise & ripple with the tide of our individual multitudes to set us a chance to be free!
The means we used, to get our independence included violent action and we have lived out sad legacies of consequence from that, but the British Empire would not have let us go without that kick, unfortunately. A lesson in the consequence of the means of an empire's end.
All our actions live out their rippling legacies of reactions in others and ourselves over time. The world is our mirror we can not escape its reflection. Do we revel in a reflection of our fear & aggression or let there bravely be a chance for mercy & new hope to grow, to not repeat injustice? We pay the price, so be sure its worth it! Our action's share consequence, do not be bullied with your life's will, be honest to your homemade compass when we try to treat others as we would true & fairly like them to treat us. To unravel the Gordian Knots of injustice's consequence & grow to live together in a better world society!

'She Rose' was recently exhibited as part of Kilmainham & Inchicore's August 2017 Festival's Group Art Show in Dublin. The show of 10 artists organized by my fellow artists Sean O'Neill & Catherine Ryan was called 'An Ideal World' & my series of large drawing paintings as part of it I called 'In Your Shoes'
In Your Shoes.
'My social art believes there is sacred truth and creativity to be realised in every moment we encounter. I like to journey into moments caught in time, to try unravel and truly see them in art. Looking in the mirror of an other's shoes, we can find ourselves, alive thru' them!'
