Dates back to the 11th Century and is a Grade l Listed Building. It is not far from the Millennium Stadium. The tower is a Clock Tower.
This small church dates from the 12th century although it was enlarged during the 14th century. The tower has two bells dating from the 14th and 16th centuries and there are some fine brasses within the church. Frank Roberts, my favorite uncle, was a curate there for a couple of years in the late 1940's. He lived in the Rectory which, at the time, was in a poor state of repair. The years he was there corresponded to time when the Cutts family was without a home. Two members of the family – Hilda and Alison – were Frank's guests during that period.
The Church sold the property soon after Frank left Clothall. It was bought by Lieutenant Commander Peter Dixon who renamed it Clothal House, carried out a complete restoration and used it to house a collection of antique furniture and fittings. The property is now a grade II listed building. Peter died in 2007 and Clothall House went on the market in 2008.
The main photo was taken in 2006, but I've adjusted the date to correspond with the time Frank was there.
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (The Stargate Mix)
Depeche Mode are an English electronic band that formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. The group consists of founders Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005), Martin Gore (guitar, keyboards, vocals, main songwriter since 1982), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards, bass guitar). Depeche Mode released their debut album Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band onto the British new wave scene. Original band member Vince Clarke (keyboards, guitar, main songwriter from 1980 to 1981), left the band after the release of the album, leaving the band as a trio to record A Broken Frame, released the following year. Gore took over the lead songwriting duties and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, bass guitar, occasional songwriter) officially joined the band to fill Clarke's spot, establishing a line up that would continue for the next 13 years. Depeche Mode have been a trio again since 1995, when Wilder left.

Dates for the latest series of funding workshops hosted by DUP MEP Diane Dodds.
These are in connection with the 4th funding booklet produced by the MEP.
This picture dates from the early 1900's and shows the Langton Herring Coastguards with their boat outside the boathouse on Chesil Beach. The boat is a "Lerret" and is of a type found locally and it is clinker built and pointed at both ends, which enables it to be launched and recovered off the steep pebble beach into and out of rough water.
The date over the boathouse door (which can't be seen in this picture) is "1877".
The name on the boat is "Ready Aye Ready".
One of the last of these boats to survive was presented to Weymouth museum several years ago and up until last year was used in the Weymouth "Time Walk" at Brewers Quay. This tourist attraction closed at the end of 2010 and the building is now due for redevelopment. It is not known how this boat will be extracted from the building, because there is no way to get it out -- it was put in there when the roof had been removed for repairs before the Time Walk was opened to the public.

Exhibition Dates: January 15 – 28, 2021 in the Artlab Gallery and virtually
Every few years, the Artlab Gallery at Western University hosts a Faculty and Staff exhibition. These exhibitions are important opportunities for fostering a sense of community in the Visual Arts Department: students are able to see their instructors and mentors at work, and colleagues have a chance to share in each other's research. 2020 was a year like no other, and so the Artlab is leaning into the present with a collective address to this moment of separate togetherness. "Distance makes the heart grow weak" invites faculty, staff and graduate students to speak to how they've been experiencing the last year. It prompts participants to explore and express how isolation has shifted our focus, our research and art practices, as well as our forms of connecting with one another. The exhibition is also an opportunity for participating artists and researchers to show flexibility (and inherently, optimism) despite the high strangeness we’re all currently experiencing. In this time of shared solitude—unable to walk down halls, knock on studio or office doors, and enjoy quick hellos and impromptu conversations—we'll quote Chris Kraus (quoting Søren Kierkegaard): "art involves reaching through some distance."
Organized by Dickson Bou and Ruth Skinner.
Participants: Cody Barteet; Sarah Bassnett; Dickson Bou with Charlie Egleston & Peter Lebel; Matt W. Brown; Andreas Buchwaldt; Brianne Casey; Jérôme Conquy with Kevin Heslop, Sachiko Murakami, Sile Englert & Ruth Douthwright; Ioana Dragomir; Meghan Edmiston; Soheila Esfahani; Sky Glabush; Anahí González; Philip Gurrey; John Hatch; Tricia Johnson; Iraboty Kazi; Shelley Kopp; Anna Madelska; Patrick Mahon; Jennifer Martin; Linda Meloche; David Merritt; Ana Moyer; Dong-Kyoon Nam; Kim Neudorf; Katie Oates; Sasha Opeiko with Martin Stevens; Michelle Paterok; Kirsty Robertson; Geordie Shepherd; Andrew Silk; Ashley Snook; Christine Sprengler; Michelle Wilson with Bridget Koza,Sophie Wu, & Azadeh Odlins; Jessica Woodward
The promotional graphic for "Distance makes the heart grow weak" cites the short film, "Extraordinary Measures," by Sasha Opeiko and Martin Stevens, featured in the exhibition.
Given Ontario's recent stay-at-home order, the exhibition will be released in a virtual format on Friday, January 15th. Throughout the course of the exhibition, Artlab will publish short video features from participating artists and researchers.
Visit the Artlab Gallery: www.uwo.ca/visarts/artlab/
Due to COVID-19 safety measures, the Artlab Gallery and Cohen Commons will be operating virtually. In-person visits are not permitted at this time. We will be posting exhibition documentation, videos, and virtual walk-throughs on the Artlab’s website.

FIRST TIME IN ASCONA!
Quasi vent’anni di carriera, otto album all’attivo, mille concerti in più di trenta paesi: Ceux Qui Marchent Debout (CQMD) - letteralmente “quelli che marciano in piedi” - non sono solo una delle più straordinarie e infaticabili funky brass band moderne, ma una vera e propria istituzione, specie nella natia Francia, dove hanno avuto modo di suonare con artisti di spicco come il popolare rapper JoeyStarr. Maestri nell’arte di coinvolgere e far ballare la gente, Ceux Qui Marchent Debout si esibiscono sia come marching band sia soprattutto come gruppo da palco. La loro musica trae ispirazione da vari generi (dalle brass band di New Orleans, al soul giamaicano, al rap), ma principalmente dal funk. Proprio il funk - con la sua energia e la sua gioia di vivere - è il cuore pulsante delle loro composizioni e dei loro show, che anche ad Ascona si annunciano esplosivi
A career of almost twenty years, eight albums, a thousand concerts in more than thirty countries: Marchent Debout (CQMD) – literally “those who march standing”– are not only one of the most extraordinary and tireless modern funky brass bands. They are also an institution, especially in their native country, France, where they have performed with prominent artists such as popular rapper JoeyStarr. Ceux Qui Marchen Debout love to involve their audience, in their performances as marching band and on the stage. Their music is inspired by different genres (among others by the sound of New Orleans brass bands, Jamaican soul, and rap) but mainly by the energy of funk, pulsing heart of their music and explosive shows.

Bob Dylan (1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, and visual artist who has been a major figure in popular culture for more than fifty years. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when songs such as 'Blowin' in the Wind' (1963) and 'The Times They Are a-Changin'' (1964) became anthems for the civil rights movement and anti-war movement. His lyrics during this period incorporated a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences, defied pop-music conventions, and appealed to the burgeoning counterculture. Bob Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He has received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. Dylan has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Bob Dylan was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in 1941, in Duluth, Minnesota. Dylan's father, Abram Zimmerman - who was an electric-appliance shop owner according to Wikipedia or worked for the Standard Oil Co. (IMDb) - and mother, Beatrice 'Beatty' Stone. He has a brother named David Zimmerman. The family was part of a small, close-knit Jewish community. They lived in Duluth until Dylan was six when his father had polio. The family returned to his mother's hometown, Hibbing, often called the coldest place in the US. There they lived for the rest of Dylan's childhood and Bob taught himself piano and guitar. In his early years he listened to the radio—first to blues and country stations from Shreveport, Louisiana, and later, when he was a teenager, to rock and roll. Dylan formed several bands while attending Hibbing High School. In the Golden Chords, he performed covers of songs by Little Richard and Elvis Presley. In 1959, Dylan moved to Minneapolis and enrolled at the University of Minnesota. His focus on rock and roll gave way to American folk music. Dylan began to perform at the Ten O'Clock Scholar, a coffeehouse a few blocks from campus and became involved in the Dinkytown folk music circuit. In 1961, he travelled to New York City to perform there and visit his musical hero Woody Guthrie, who was ill and in hospital. In clubs around Greenwich Village, he befriended folk singers and picked up material from them. Producer John Hammond signed Dylan to Columbia Records. His debut album 'Bob Dylan' (1962) mainly comprised traditional folk songs. The following year, Dylan made his breakthrough as a singer-songwriter with the release of 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' (1963). The album featured 'Blowin' in the Wind' and the thematically complex 'A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall'. For many of these songs, he adapted the tunes and phraseology of older folk songs. He went on to release the politically charged 'The Times They Are a-Changin'' and the more lyrically abstract and introspective 'Another Side of Bob Dylan' (1964). In the following years, Dylan toured with singer Joan Baez and encountered controversy when he adopted electrically amplified rock instrumentation. In the space of 15 months, he recorded three of the most important and influential rock albums of the 1960s: 'Bringing It All Back Home' (1965), 'Highway 61 Revisited' (1965) and 'Blonde on Blonde' (1966). The six-minute single 'Like a Rolling Stone' (1965), peaked at number two in the U.S. chart. Magazine Rolling Stone: "No other pop song has so thoroughly challenged and transformed the commercial laws and artistic conventions of its time, for all time."
In July 1966, Bob Dylan withdrew from touring after being injured in a motorcycle accident. Dylan later in his autobiography: "I had been in a motorcycle accident and I'd been hurt, but I recovered. Truth was that I wanted to get out of the rat race." Dylan withdrew from public and, apart from a few appearances, did not tour again for almost eight years. Once Dylan was well enough to resume creative work, he began to edit D. A. Pennebaker's film of his 1966 tour. A rough cut was shown to ABC Television, which rejected it as incomprehensible to a mainstream audience. The film was subsequently titled Eat the Document on bootleg copies, and it has been screened at a handful of film festivals. During this period, he recorded a large body of songs with members of The Band, who had previously backed him on tour. These recordings were released as the collaborative album 'The Basement Tapes' in 1975. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dylan explored country music and rural themes in 'John Wesley Harding' (1967), 'Nashville Skyline' (1969), and 'New Morning' (1970). Critics charged that Dylan's output was varied and unpredictable. In 1972, Dylan worked on Sam Peckinpah's film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, providing songs and backing music and playing Alias, a member of Billy's gang with some historical basis. Despite the film's failure at the box office, the song 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' became one of Dylan's most covered songs. In 1975, he released 'Blood on the Tracks', which many saw as a return to form. Dylan wrote a ballad championing boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, imprisoned for a triple murder in Paterson, New Jersey, in 1966. After visiting Carter in jail, Dylan wrote 'Hurricane', presenting the case for Carter's innocence. Despite its length—over eight minutes—the song was released as a single, peaking at 33 on the U.S. Billboard chart, and performed at every 1975 date of Dylan's tour, the Rolling Thunder Revue. The 1975 tour with the Revue provided the backdrop to Dylan's nearly four-hour film Renaldo and Clara (1978), a sprawling narrative mixed with concert footage and reminiscences. After poor reviews, a two-hour edit, dominated by the concert performances, was more widely released. In November 1976, Dylan appeared at the Band's 'farewell' concert. Martin Scorsese's cinematic chronicle, The Last Waltz (1978), included about half of Dylan's set. In the late 1970s, Bob Dylan became a born-again Christian and released a series of albums of contemporary gospel music before returning to his more familiar rock-based idiom in the early 1980s. In 1985 Dylan sang on USA for Africa's famine relief single 'We Are the World.' He also joined Artists United Against Apartheid providing vocals for their single 'Sun City'. In 1987, Dylan starred in the film Hearts of Fire (Richard Marquand, 1987), in which he played Billy Parker, a washed-up rock star turned chicken farmer whose teenage lover (Fiona) leaves him for a jaded English synth-pop sensation played by Rupert Everett. Dylan also contributed two original songs to the soundtrack—'Night After Night', and 'I Had a Dream About You, Baby', as well as a cover of John Hiatt's 'The Usual.' The film was a critical and commercial flop. The major works of his later career include 'Time Out of Mind' (1997), 'Love and Theft' (2001), 'Modern Times' (2006) and 'Tempest' (2012). In 2001, Dylan won his first Oscar when his song 'Things Have Changed', written for the film Wonder Boys, won an Academy Award. His most recent recordings have comprised versions of traditional American standards, especially songs recorded by Frank Sinatra. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been dubbed the Never Ending Tour.
The cover of Dylan's album Self Portrait (1970) is a reproduction of a painting of a face by Dylan. Another of his paintings is reproduced on the cover of the 1974 album Planet Waves. In 1994 Random House published 'Drawn Blank', a book of Dylan's drawings. Since 1994, Bob Dylan has published eight books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. In 2007, the first public exhibition of Dylan's paintings, The Drawn Blank Series, opened at the Kunstsammlungen in Chemnitz, Germany. It showcased more than 200 watercolours and gouaches made from the original drawings. The exhibition coincided with the publication of Bob Dylan: The Drawn Blank Series, which includes 170 reproductions from the series. From September 2010 until April 2011, the National Gallery of Denmark exhibited 40 large-scale acrylic paintings by Dylan, The Brazil Series. In 2004, Dylan published the first part of his autobiography, 'Chronicles: Volume One'. The book reached number two on The New York Times' Hardcover Non-Fiction best seller list in December 2004 and was nominated for a National Book Award. No Direction Home, Martin Scorsese's acclaimed film biography of Dylan was first broadcast in 2005. The documentary focuses on the period from Dylan's arrival in New York in 1961 to his motorcycle crash in 1966, featuring interviews with Suze Rotolo, Liam Clancy, Joan Baez, Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger, Mavis Staples, and Dylan himself. Dylan's career as a radio presenter commenced in 2006, with his weekly radio program, 'Theme Time Radio Hour' for XM Satellite Radio, with song selections revolving around chosen themes. In 2007, the award-winning film biography of Dylan I'm Not There, written and directed by Todd Haynes, was released. The film used six different actors to represent different aspects of Dylan's life: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger and Ben Whishaw. The Pulitzer Prize Board in 2008 awarded him a special citation for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power." In 2012, U.S. President Barack Obama awarded Dylan a Presidential Medal of Freedom in the White House. At the ceremony, Obama praised Dylan's voice for its "unique gravelly power that redefined not just what music sounded like but the message it carried and how it made people feel". In 2016, Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." Last year, Netflix released the movie Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2019), describing the film as "Part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream". Bob Dylan had romantic relationships with artist Suze Rotolo and singer Joan Baez. He was married twice. In 1965 he married model and secretary Sara Lownds, with whom he had four children,, Jesse Byron Dylan (1966), Anna Lea (1967), Samuel Isaac Abram (1968), and Jakob Luke (1969). Jakob became well known as the lead singer of the band the Wallflowers in the 1990s. Dylan also adopted Sara's daughter from a prior marriage, Maria Lownds (later Dylan, 1961). Bob and Sara Dylan were divorced in 1977. Dylan married his backup singer Carolyn Dennis in 1986. Their daughter Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan was born in 1986. The couple divorced in 1992. Their marriage and child remained a closely guarded secret until the publication of Howard Sounes' biography 'Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan' (2001). When not touring, Dylan is believed to live primarily in Point Dume, a promontory on the coast of Malibu, California, though he also owns property around the world.

TRAKAI ISLAND CASTLE
It dates from the 14th century and was one of the main centers of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, hence the castle held great strategic importance.
Also got to try the Kibinaí (traditional Lithuanian pastries) and a nice hot chocolate at the Chocolate Museum 😉.
Trakai, Lithuania July 2022 #itravelanddance
Dates are among the Seven Species (Shiv'at HaMinim in Hebrew). There are seven types of fruits and grains enumerated in the Hebrew Bible as being special products of the Land of Israel:
1. Wheat
2. Barley
3. Grapes
4. Figs
5. Pomegranates
6. Olives
7. Dates
These seven species are customarillly eaten on the Jewish "New Year for Trees" (Tu Bishvat), on the "Festival of Booths" (Sukkoth) and on the "Festival of Weeks" (Shavuot).
In the Halakha (the Jewish law) they are considered more important than other fruits and a special blessing is recited after eating them. Additionally, the blessing prior to eating them precedes those of other food items, except for bread.
The First Fruits offering in the Temple in Jerusalem was brought from the Seven Species.
The church dates from the 13th century or earlier and was added to in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, and restored in 1897 and 1984.
It consists of a west tower, nave, north and south aisles, south porch and a chancel continuous with the nave and chapel to the north and south, with a narrower sanctuary. The church is built of coursed stone and has plain tiled roofs.
The tower is from the 15th century and consists of three stages. There is south-east stair turret taller than the tower, which has a battlemented top. There are six bells mostly dating from the 18th century. There is a tall 15th century tower arch.
The south porch is also 15th century with a stoup.
The north chancel chapel is 14th century, and has a steeply pitched gabled roof which is higher than the chancel. It has ornate north and east windows.
The north aisle is early 15th century, there is a Rood loft stair turret on the west side of the north chapel.
The nave is 14th century with a four bay arcade with octagonal columns. The north arcade is slightly different from the south. The chancel has a 2 Bay arcade from around the 14th century.
The roof has octagonal Crown posts with moulded capitals and bases.
There is a late 13th century hexagonal Font on seven plain stone shafts and a carved 17th-century wooden pulpit.
The north chapel has a brass to Sir Edward Filmer with figures of Sir Edward, his wife Elizabeth and 18 children, 9 sons and 9 daughters. He is dressed in a ruff with wonderful leather boots and died in 1629. The Filmer family were former owners of the adjacent house of East Sutton Park. The building is now a small prison.
There are also a monuments to other members of the Filmer family, including Edmund Filmer who died aged six months. On the south wall of the south Chapel there is a monument to Edmund Randolph and his wife from the early 17th century.
saturday 27th june;
i apologies for the bad quality pictures. im struggling to come up with ideas for my 365 and tbh i would rather the pics be off my canon than my phone, but i barley ever go out/use my canon - so its tricky. anyway...today i went to meadowhall with joe. we made tits of outselves by buying a cinema ticket to see "ice age three dawn of the dinosaurs in 3D" but not knowing we bought the ticket for wednesday, and not today. joe got a refund and we basically walked around blowing each other in the face tbqh.
this picture doesn't have anything to do with what i just said above but i put it on cause it reflects back to prom the other day and how, actually it hasn't quite sunk in that school is over for good. i don't think it will, and actually the only time i would be upset about it is when i think back to years 7, 8 and 9. years 10 and 11 were just full of bitchyness and backstabbing, plus i prefered the old school before the new school was built.
thankyou for the balloon joe btw (:
(he stole this balloon 'cause i wanted it, from the hotel at prom just before we left)
We just got back from a really fine week at Methwold Old Vicarage, a wonderful Landmark Trust property. The house dates to 1490-1510, and is quite beautiful inside and out. For an American like me, the idea of sleeping in a house constructed in the time of Columbus's voyage is just too amazing.
The brick front is a veritable sampler of ornate brickwork from the period and remains a real show piece. There are gorgeous carved beams inside, and cool remnants of late 16th century wall paintings in the main bedroom upstairs that are museum quality. And we slept in that bedroom.
Wow.
We're totally hooked, and definitely planning another Landmark Trust stay before we return to the States this summer!
I have an utter ton of photos. I'll dump most them up to this account without any editing or cleaning, and then post some of my faves to my "real" account as I have time process them.
This gorgeous old building was very nearly demolished in the late 1950's so the absentee landlord could sell the property bare for £250. It was saved by Monica and Harry Dance, who later retired there. They later donated it to the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings, who is now leasing it to the Landmark Trust. Both the Dance's renovations and the work by the Landmark Trust made every effort to preserve as much of the old construction as possible. The staircase is modern (it's not clear where the original stairs were), but as you go up there are several fragments of earlier bits and pieces, including a little ledge formed by these old boards.

Jerpoint Abbey dates from the late 1100s to the 1500s and is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved Cistercian abbey ruins in Ireland. We're lucky to be there at the right moment when these ancient carvings of Celtic interlace symbols were lit up by the sun.
I'm not sure why, but I associate monkeys in fezzes with pirates and I definitely have pirates on the brain. However, I should really associate monkeys in fezzes with Raiders of the Lost Ark, a movie, that while great, could have stood with a few pirates to snazz it up.

It dates to c. 450 BC, measuring 38.15 x 16.90 m: it is in Doric style, peripteros 6 columns wide by 13 long, preceded by a pronaos and opisthodomos. The basement has four steps.Current remains (including anastylosis from the 18th Century onwards) consist of the front colonnade with parts of the architrave and of the frieze. Only fragments of the other three sides survive, with few elements of the cella. The building was damaged in the fire of 406 BC and restored in Roman times, with the substitution of clay marble roof tiles with ones and the addition of a steep rise in the area where today can be seen the remains of the altar.
Il tempio di Hera Lacinia, noto anche come tempio di Giunone (dal nome romano della dea) o Tempio D, è un tempio greco dell'antica città di Akragas sito nella Valle dei Templi di Agrigento.
Fu edificato nella seconda metà del V secolo a.C., intorno al 450 a.C. e appartiene come epoca e come stile al periodo del dorico arcaico. Sono stati rilevati segni dell'incendio del 406 a.C. dopo il quale è stato restaurato in età romana, con la sostituzione delle originarie tegole fittili con altre marmoree e con l'aggiunta del piano inclinato alla fronte orientale.L'edificio è un tempio dorico periptero con 6 colonne sui lati corti (esastilo) e 13 sui fianchi, secondo un canone derivato dai modelli della madrepatria ed utilizzato anche per il tempio "gemello" della Concordia con il quale è accumunato anche dalle dimensioni generali e dalle misure, quasi standardizzate di alcuni elementi costruttivi. Le dimensioni complessive sono di circa m 38,15x16,90.Il fronte presenta interassi leggermente diversi con la contrazione di quelli terminali e l'enfatizzazione di quello centrale. Il peristilio di 34 colonne alte m. 6,44 e costituite da 4 rocchi sovrapposti, poggia su un crepidoma di quattro gradini. Edificato su di uno sperone con un rialzo risulta in gran parte costruito artificialmente.L'interno è costituito da un naos senza colonnato interno, del tipo in doppio antis, dotato di pronao e opistodomo simmetrici, entrambi incorniciati da gruppi di due colonne (distili). Due scale per l'ispezione alla copertura o per motivi di culto, erano presenti nella muratura di separazione tra naos e pronaos.Attualmente si conserva il colonnato settentrionale con l'epistilio e parte del fregio, mentre i colonnati sugli altri tre lati sono conservati solo parzialmente (mancano 4 colonne e 9 sono smozzate), e senza architrave. Pochi sono gli elementi rimasti della cella di cui rimane la parte bassa della muratura che la delimitata. L'edificio è stato così ricostruito mediante anastilosi fin dal Settecento ad oggi. Davanti al fronte principale (orientale) ci sono notevoli resti dell'altare.
Thame History Net (an excellent resource on Thame) has the following to record about the Saracen's Head:
The eighteenth century gabled exterior of the former Saracen's Head hides a timber framed building that dates back to at least the fourteenth century.
Recent work carried out at the premises, when converting it to the current estate agents office, established the likely felling date of the main timbers as being about 1315.
The current building (No 7) with its gable end fronting the Buttermarket, forms the cross-wing of a much larger property that encompassed the building now to the west (No 6).
The whole was in all probability a medieval open hall house of cruck construction, No 6 being the open hall with the cross wing (No 7) housing the service apartments on the ground floor with a single chamber above. This large chamber occupied the whole of the three bays of the upper floor and was open to the roof. It was also jetted to the front and the evidence of the dragon beams suggests that the floor projected to the sides also, giving a chamber 10 metres long by 5.3 metres wide.
The building is reputed to have had a vaulted medieval cellar that may have dated back even further. Lupton, in his History of Thame, suggests the brewers who owned the house, removed the vaulting before 1860 in order to gain more room for their casks. He also points out that the house close by, at the corner of North Street, also showed a gothic arch in its cellar. This co-incidence led him to suggest that the three houses from North Street to the Saracen's Head stood on the large vaulted basement of an important building which he thought might have belonged to some religious order.
Lee, however, has pointed out that a Saracen's head was the crest of the Oxfordshire branch of the Marmion family, who lived in Thame until the fifteenth century. Although the site of their home is not known he advances that their mansion covered these groined cellars on the north side of the Butter Market and that later the Saracen's Head inn was built on part of its site and adopted the Marmion crest as its sign.
All this is speculation but we know for certain that the accounts for Thame School in 1575 give the tenant as one Richard Pitman paying a rent of 26s 8d per half year to New College Oxford. Much of the property in Thame that was administered by New College had been acquired to support Lord Williams' foundation of Thame School and there is no reason to suppose that this was not the case for the Saracen's Head.
Thame School continued to own the premises until 1877 when it was sold, along with other property, and bought by the then licensee Francis Seymour. Halls Brewery purchased it in 1913 and it continued as a popular town centre pub until it finally stopped selling beer in 1992.
In the early twentieth century the Saracen's Head gained a reputation as a centre for the sporting fraternity and was at one time the headquarters of Thame Association Football Club.

Collegiate Church in Salzburg
The Collegiate Church in Salzburg is the University Church and dates from the Baroque period. It is located at University Square. The church is a listed building and belongs to UNESCO World Heritage Historic Site Centre of the city of Salzburg.
History
Facade, stitch around 1712
Already Prince Archbishop Paris of Lodron planned to build this private Roman Catholic University of Salzburg church on the basis of the former women's garden. It should take more than 70 years until the new church by the architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach was completed and was inaugurated in 1707 in honor of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. This provoked once among the citizens of the city some kind of mockeries. Until the construction of the Collegiate Church served the Great hall of the university (in addition to the small chapel Saecellum) not only as a theater hall, but also as a temporary sacred space for the church services of the University. Also Guidobald von Thun and Max Gandolf von Kuenburg could not fulfill the promise of the church building. Only Prince Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun against some resistances put the church building into practice. Especially Joseph of Kuenburg put up a fight because in his opinion, as a result, his Kuenburgscher Langenhof at Kirchgasse (now Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse ) would be affected negatively.
During the period of occupation by Napoleon and the French troops, the Collegiate Church demonstratively served as a military hayloft. After the dissolution of the University it became a garrison church in the time of the monarchy. In 1922 as part of the Salzburg Festival for the first time here in the church took place the Great Salzburg World Theatre by Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The Collegiate Church is still a venue for the Salzburg Festival.
Since 1964, the Collegiate Church is again the University Church. 18 May 2008 it was awarded the rank of a University parish (university community Salzburg), as a personal parish. Pastor is Erwin Neumayer (2012).
A general renovation of this old church became badly needed. The first restored chapel was that of St. Ivo. 2010, the apse was finished, and at the end of 2013 the general renovation is completed.
Architecture
A side altar and the high central dome
The church is now the most important church building of the city of Salzburg apart from the cathedral, a masterpiece of Baroque architect Fischer von Erlach and a church building of international standing.
Fischer von Erlach here had in favor of the perceptibility of the entire building and its architecture the design of the detailling decorative elements - even by the execution of the church interior in white uniform color without painting - receded. The church was the model for many late-Baroque churches in southern Germany.
The church has three parts: the magnificent spectacle in the east façade, the main house and the slopingly stepped attachments in the West. The towers have in this church no spire anymore, they dissolve rather upwards rangy in by allegorical figures crowned balustrades. The figures on the left (south) represend the four archangels (Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel), and the right (north), the four late antique church fathers (Augustine, Ambrose, Jerome, and Gregory the Great). In addition, as a crowning of the main facade angels are to see. The figure of Saint Mary Immaculate on a crescent moon crowns the center of the building. All these figures are from Bernhard Michael Mandl.
Window
The large windows of the facade open the building to the outside and dissolve the gravity of the central facade front. The delicate window ornament stems from Diego Francesco Carlone and Paolo d' Allio, who designed together with Fischer von Erlach also the wall structure in the church in detail.
Chapels
The church is inside vaulted with a towering barrel vault in a cross shape with colossal pilasters and a central tambour dome the building being unified by the four high main chapels to a central building. These into the church building integrated open chapels with their altars characterize so beside the main altar the inside of the church the chapels being dedicated to the four faculty saints.
Thomas Aquinas: Theology
Ivo: Law
Luke: Medical
Catherine: Philosophy
The left and the right transept altar is configured with an altarpiece each of them by Michael Rottmayr.
High altar
The high altar, designed by Father Bernard Stuart and executed by Josef Anton Pfaffinger dissolves in stucco figures to the top. It repeats the main motives of the Church and continues them. In front of the columns stand allegorical figures of music, poetry, painting, and architecture, as well as of the four faculties. Above hover love and hope, inspired by the faith. At the height of the cornice stand seven archangels here. As the highest closing of the chorus appears from clouds and rays encircled - as it were celestiale - Mary Immaculate .
In the niches of the nave were until 2012 20 stone statues of Johann Piger (1905-1912), they are now in the oratorios, not visible from below, preserved.
Organ
Look at the organ loft
The organ was built in the years 1866-1868 by I. Matthew Mauracher. The instrument has 34 registers on three manuals and pedal, where the II and III. manuala stand in a common swellbox.

Anton Bruckner must have appreciated this instrument. In the winter of 1869, he performed on it some fugues, in that strictly held form corresponding to the reputation he already received in the same year in Nancy and Paris as a great contraputist which has its connection to Beethoven. The following year, he delighted several music lovers through an interesting production on the beautiful organ in the Church of the Colleges.

Exhibition Dates: January 15 – 28, 2021 in the Artlab Gallery and virtually
Every few years, the Artlab Gallery at Western University hosts a Faculty and Staff exhibition. These exhibitions are important opportunities for fostering a sense of community in the Visual Arts Department: students are able to see their instructors and mentors at work, and colleagues have a chance to share in each other's research. 2020 was a year like no other, and so the Artlab is leaning into the present with a collective address to this moment of separate togetherness. "Distance makes the heart grow weak" invites faculty, staff and graduate students to speak to how they've been experiencing the last year. It prompts participants to explore and express how isolation has shifted our focus, our research and art practices, as well as our forms of connecting with one another. The exhibition is also an opportunity for participating artists and researchers to show flexibility (and inherently, optimism) despite the high strangeness we’re all currently experiencing. In this time of shared solitude—unable to walk down halls, knock on studio or office doors, and enjoy quick hellos and impromptu conversations—we'll quote Chris Kraus (quoting Søren Kierkegaard): "art involves reaching through some distance."
Organized by Dickson Bou and Ruth Skinner.

Higbee's dates back to 1860. For many years, its flagship was located across the street from Halle Brothers near Playhouse Square. The Van Sweringen brothers purchased it in 1929 and moved it to their new Cleveland Union Terminal (now Tower City) that opened in 1928 which is on the National Register #76001405. HIgbee's was acquired by Dillard's in 1987 and was rebranded as such in 1992. They closed the downtown flagship in 2002. The building was adaptively reused into office space and now houses a casino on the first three floors.

Celje Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Celje Castle (also known as Celje Upper Castle or Old Castle) (Slovene Celjski grad, Celjski zgornji grad or Stari grad) is a castle ruin in Celje, Slovenia, formerly the seat of the Counts of Celje. It stands on three hills to the southeast of Celje, where the river Savinja meanders into the Laško valley. Today, the castle is in the process of being restored. It was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory.
History
Early history
The earliest reference to Celje Castle dates from 1322 and calls it “purch Cylie”. Later, the castle was known by various names, including “vest Cili” (1341), “castrum Cilie” (1451), “gsloss Obercili” (1468). It is noteworthy that the name “Obercili” - Upper Celje - only appears after the Counts of Celje had died out. Its original name was “grad Celje” (Celje Castle).
The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway. This was typical of Ministerialis castles of the time.
Lords of Sanneck and Counts of Celje
The first castle was probably burned and destroyed in the fighting between the Lords of Sanneck and the Lords of Auffenstein. The gateway was later moved from the northern side by freemen loyal to the Lords of Sanneck. They gave the castle a new curtain wall and reinforced this with a tower on the northern side, which guarded the entrance to the inner ward, sometime before 1300. The new wall reached from a natural cliff in the east to the remains of the earlier wall in the northeast. The entrance was moved to the southern side, where it still is today.
In 1333, the castle came into the possession of the Lords of Sanneck, who from 1341 onward were the Counts of Celje. They set about transforming the fortress into a comfortable living quarter and their official residence. Around 1400, they added a four-storey tower which was later called Friderikov stolp (Frederick’s tower, from bergfrid, modern German Bergfried, the term for the central tower of a castle in the Middle Ages). On the eastern side of the courtyard, there was a tall, three-story residential tower, which is the best preserved section of the castle after Friderikov stolp. The main residential building (a palatium), which also had rooms for women, stood however in the western section of the castle. This part of the castle ends at the narrow outer ward and is in a state of disrepair. On the southern side of the palatium, there was a tower, known as Andrejev stolp (Andrew’s tower), after the chapel on the ground floor, which was dedicated to Saint Andrew. In the Middle Ages, the castle walls were impenetrable; an attacker would have had to rely on starving the defenders into submission, but a hidden passageway led from the castle to a nearby granary. The Counts of Celje stopped living in the castle in this period, but they stationed a castellan with an armed entourage here.
During an earthquake in 1348, part of the Romanesque palace and the rock on which it stood were destroyed. The ruined section was rebuilt and relocated towards the bailey. In the 15th century, the outer ward was extended on the eastern side of the ridge as far as the rocky outcrop. Here, the wall connected with a powerful, five-sided tower. In the second half of the 16th century, the castle was once again renovated. The walls in the inner and outer wards were made taller, and the bailey was renovated. The modern sections of the walls feature Renaissance-era balistraria.
Holy Roman Empire
The first imperial caretaker, Krištof pl. Ungnad, was named in 1461. The second, Jurij pl. Apfaltrer, was named just two years later. The castle entered the care of Andrej pl. Hohenwart in 1470. When he took it over, he swore to take good care of it and to keep it in a good condition. He carried out this service until his death in 1503. He was succeeded as castle caretaker by Jakob pl. Landau, the government administrator in Upper and Lower Swabia. Landau obtained the position from Emperor Maximilian I, who was at the time still the King of the Romans, for having lent him 10,000 crowns. Landau was still castle caretaker in 1514. Two years later, Bernard Raunacher briefly held this position, but the emperor ordered him to hand authority to Gašper Herbst and to make do with the income generated by Rudolfswert (later Novo Mesto). Other caretakers followed, most of whom were at the same time vicedominus and the administrator of various taxes. The castle’s importance as a fortress rapidly gave way to its economic role.
Celje Castle was not only the most important castle in Slovenia, but in the entire eastern Alps. It covered an area of almost 5500 m². From the ruins that remain and from depictions of the castle that have survived, it is possible to paint a detailed picture of how it once looked. Several new techniques were employed in the castle’s architectural development, which were the model for other castles in the region under Celje’s influence.
The castle began to fall into disrepair shortly after losing its strategic importance. Georg Matthäus Vischer’s depiction of the castle from 1681 shows that Friderikov stolp no longer had a roof at the end of the 17th century. During the renovation of the lower castle (the section closest to the town) in 1748, the castle’s tiled roof was removed. When Count Gaisruck bought the castle in 1755, he removed the roof truss as well. The best stones were then re-used in the construction of the Novo Celje Mansion between Petrovče and Žalec. From this time onward, it was no longer possible to live in the castle, and it slowly turned into a complete ruin. The last residents left the site in 1795.
In 1803, the farmer Andrej Gorišek bought the castle and began to use the site as a quarry.
19th and 20th centuries
In 1846, the governor of the Styria, Count Wickenburg, bought the ruins and donated them to the Styrian estates. In 1871, interest in the ruins began to take hold and in 1882 the Celje museum society began efforts to restore the castle, which continue to this day. During the time of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the authorities in Maribor left control over the ruins to the local municipality, which made great contributions to the castle's preservation. During World War II, the ruins were abandoned, but reconstruction efforts continued after the war. In the corners of the Friderikov stolp, cement blocks were used to replace missing stones. A proper parking lot was also created in front of the entrance to the castle. On the northern side, the wall was knocked through to create a new side entrance to meet a new route that had been built there (Pelikanova pot).
21st century
The Celje tourist board holds an event entitled "Pod zvezdami Celjanov" ("Under the stars of Celje") at Celje Castle in late summer every year, which features performances and representations of life in the Middle Ages. Music concerts also take place in the castle. Celje Castle is visited by approximately 60,000 people every year.[1] An annual cultural entertainment event, Veronikini večeri, which is named after the character Veronika in the Slovenian opera Veronika Deseniška, also takes place in the castle.[2] The evening features various concerts, theatre performances and other entertainment, and each year the organiser, in collaboration with the municipality of Celje, awards the Veronikina nagrada (prize) for poetry and the Zlatnik poezije (gold medal for poetry). The Veronikini večeri event has been taking place since 1996 and the Veronikina nagrada has equally been awarded since then. The Zlatnik poezije has been awarded since 2004.
