Shepshed church (dedicated to St Botolph, isn't it odd how you never meet anyone with that name these days?!) was a late addition to our itinerary but a most welcome one nonetheless, earning my choice of favourite church of the day!
The church doesn't look hugely exciting from the outside, its 13th century west tower and spire being quite modestly proportioned, though to be honest we didn't get too long a look at the exterior owing to the rain!
Inside the first thing that strikes the visitor is how short the nave is, having as much width as length, but combined with the aisles it still makes a considerable space. The chancel beyond is by contrast fairly long, and dominated by an array of interesting memorials. It is for its contents that this church is most memorable, with the aforementioned 18th century monuments (there are further elaborate tablets in the south transept) and the stained glass with several striking pieces from the early to mid 20th century. Last but not least is the striking Majestas painting over the chancel arch, a youthful and very modern seated Christ presiding over the interior by John Hayward.
Shepshed church has much of interest and is well worth exploring. I am unsure what normal opening arrangements are, before lockdown it was generally open on Tuesday and Saturday mornings but otherwise probably rarely open outside of services, but well worth the effort of seeing inside.

This picture of Zabriskie Point I found on the Internet is just to remember his masterpieces.
Khajuraho, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a famous tourist and archaeological site known for its sculptured temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, Jain patriarchs, and others. Khajuraho was one of the capitals of the Chandela kings, who from the 9th to the 12th century CE developed a large realm, which at its height included almost all of what is now Madhya Pradesh state. Khajuraho extended over 21 sq. km and contained about 85 temples, built by multiple rulers mostly between 950 to 1050. In the 12th century the Chandelas, in a period of chaos and decline, abandoned Khajuraho and moved to hill forts elsewhere. Khajuraho puttered along until the 14th century (Ibn Batuta was impressed by its temples) but was afterwards largely forgotten and overtaken by jungles, which probably saved it from the desecration that Muslim conquerors sometimes inflicted on Hindu monuments. In 1838 a British army captain, TS Burt, employed by the Asiatic Society in Calcutta, came upon information that led him to the rediscovery of the complex of temples in the jungle in Khajuraho.
Of the 85 original temples—most constructed of sandstone—about 20 are still reasonably well preserved. Both internally and externally the temples are richly carved with excellent sculptures that are frequently sensual and often sexually explicit. The temples are divided into three complexes—the western is the largest and best known, containing the magnificent Shaivite temple Kandariya Mahadev, a 31m high agglomeration of porches and turrets culminating in a spire. Khajuraho's name derives from the prevalence of khajur, or date palms, in the area.
There are many theories explaining the real reason for incorporating erotic art with the temples. One of the most popular theories is that they were meant to provide education about earthly desires. During the medieval era, young boys were sent to hermitage and practice bramhacharya till reaching maturity. The sculptures were meant to educate them about grahasthahram.
Yet another theory states that they were meant to represent kama (desire) as the third purushartha (aim of life). The sculptures are also accredited to the rise of the Tantric cults during that time. However, several experts reject these theories.
However, the most credible explanations for the erotic sculptures at Khajuraho are as follows:
1. Sign of happiness, prosperity and auspiciousness: During the medieval era there was a common belief that having erotic sculptures were considered alankaras or decorative motifs, protective and auspicious. This hypothesis is based on the authoritative religious texts like the Shilpashastras and the Brihat Samhita. According to the Brihat Samhita, mithunas (couples), goblins, creepers and erotic sculptures were meant to be carved on the temple door to bring in good luck and as a sign of auspiciousness.
2. Mock the Ascetics: Yet another theory explaining the old erotic art at Khajuraho states that the coital couples represent ascetics as well as people from the royal class. It is also believed that the sculptures of couples participating in the orgies are scenes imagined by the artists. Also, it is also said that the artists used ascetics in sensuous and passionate moods as a way to mock the extreme Tantric sects that rose during that era.
3. Code Language: According to experts, the erotic figures were used as a code language to convey Tantric doctrines and non-communicable experiences. For e.g. A sculpture wherein a washerwoman clings to an ascetic may look erotic and sensuous for the layman. However, in the Tantric language, the washerwoman represents the Kundalini energy that has ascended up to the chakras i.e. the neck of the ascetic. Thus, the erotic sculptures have a deeper meaning related to the Tantric cult.
4. Conceal the Magico-Propitiory Yantra: According to the architectural text of the Shilpa Prakasha, every temple must have a Kamakala Yantra strategically placed to protect it from evil spirits and natural calamities. However, the Yantra, which is basically a set of lines drawn symmetrically, must not be visible to the lay man. Thus, a few erotic sculptures with the head down posture were made corresponding to the lines of the Yantra and superimposed on it.
5. Non-duality: It is possible that the erotic sculptures symbolically represent the union of two opposing forces or energies like, inhalation and exhalation, in a timeless state of non-duality.
The erotic art at Khajuraho is considered to be the pinnacle of love and passion. However, during the period between 900 – 1300 AD most Hindu, Jain and Buddhist temples across western and southern India comprised of erotic art.
However, at other temples, these sculptures were carved at the plinth level, below the eye level and thus did not get noticed. It is only at Khajuraho that these sculptures were so prominently displayed on the main wall of the temples
Catholic
Abbey founded 750 and dedicated to Saint Ouen in 1126
Present Style: Gothic, Flamboyant
Begun in 1318 finished 1537
• famous for architecture and its large, unaltered Cavaillé-Coll organ, which has once been described as "a Michelangelo of an organ" by Charles-Marie Widor.
• Built on a similar scale to nearby Rouen Cathedral, it is, along with the Church of Saint-Maclou, one of the principal Gothic monuments of Rouen.
At the transept crossing
The church was originally built as the abbey church of Saint Ouen for the Benedictine Order, beginning in 1318 and interrupted by the Hundred Years' War and sacked and badly damaged during the Harelle.
The foundation of St. Ouen's Abbey has been variously credited, among others, to Clothair I and to St. Clothilda, but evidence is scanty. It was dedicated at first to St. Peter when the body of St. Ouen, Archbishop of Rouen (d. 678), was buried there; the name of St. Peter and St. Ouen became common and finally St. Ouen only. The history of the abbey, on record from the 1000, is unremarkable; a list of abbots is in Gallia Christiana XI, 140. In 1660 the monastery was united to the Congregation of St. Maur, and when suppressed, in 1794, the community numbered twenty-four. The abbey building itself was vacated by the time of the French Revolution and was subsequently occupied by the Town Hall of Rouen.[12]
The central crossing is surmounted by an unusual lantern-style tower similar to that at Ely Cathedral in England.
tower was completed in the Flamboyant style.
well-preserved C15-C16th stained glass of the nave dates to the 15th and 16th centuries, and features jewel tones among panels of clear and frosted white glass. These materials allow more light to filter into the nave, creating a brighter interior than is typical of Gothic churches. Despite the use of Flamboyant tracery in the aisles, triforium, and clerestory, the nave maintains a conservative appearance through the use of compound piers, trumpet bases, and capitals which helps maintain harmony throughout the edifice. The west façade was never completed during the Middle Ages. It was constructed between 1846 and 1851 in a Neo-Gothic style that bears little resemblance to the original Late Gothic designs.

Penang Heritage Trust Site Visit
The "High Chaparral" village ( Kampong Buah Pala, oldest cattle farm in Penang) celebrated its Ponggal Festival (Harvest Thanksgiving) from 14-18 January.
"High Chaparral" originally an Indian cattle rearing community who were the biggest suppliers of fresh milk in Penang last century - narrowly escaped demolition by developers last year. This year's Ponggal was therefore doubly meaningful for the villagers.
The Ponggal is a 4-day harvest thanksgiving festival : a tradition occasion for giving thanks to nature for its bounty of food especially rice and milk. The 4-day festival culminated with traditional festivities on Sunday (18 Jan).
****************************************************

It was a test of manhood for young men at the 100th annual Ponggal festival at the “High Chaparral” of Penang.
In honour of the Harvest Festival, the Tamil community gathered to give thanks for the year’s prosperity and prove their worth through a series of daring competitions.
Groups of youths faced off with bulls, weighing over 400kg, in an effort to yank off garlands from their horns.
Each garland contained RM100 to be shared among the successful group of bull chasers.
Exhibition dedicated to the discovery of the capital of the Thracian Kingdom of the Odryssians. Unfortnunately now the city is under the waters of Koprinka Dam.
Seuthopolis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seuthopolis was an ancient city founded by the Thracian king Seuthes III, and the capital of the Odrysian kingdom since 320 BC. It was a small city, built on the site of an earlier settlement, and its ruins are now located at the bottom of the Koprinka Reservoir near Kazanlak, Stara Zagora Province, in central Bulgaria.
Seuthopolis was not a true polis, but rather the seat of Seuthes and his court. His palace had a dual role, functioning also as a sanctuary of the Cabeiri. Most of the space within the city was occupied not by homes but by official structures, the majority of the people living outside the city.
The dual role of Seuthes' palace (royal court and sanctuary) indicates that Seuthes was a priest-king: the high priest of the Cabeiri among the Odrysian Thracians. A hearth altar stood in the center of the Cabeiri sanctuary, the Cabeiri being associated with fire and metallurgy and with the smith-god Hephaestus.
The cemetery of Seuthopolis included a number of brick tholos tombs, some covered by tumuli, in which the upper-class were interred, sometimes along with their horses. The less affluent were cremated, with modest grave goods laid alongside.
The ruins of the city were discovered and excavated in 1948 by Bulgarian archeologists during the construction of the Georgi Dimitrov (later renamed Koprinka) Reservoir. However, it was decided to continue with the construction and flood the dam, leaving Seuthopolis at its bottom.
In 2005, Bulgarian architect Zheko Tilev proposed a project to uncover, preserve and reconstruct the city of Seuthopolis (the best preserved Thracian city in Bulgaria) by means of a dam wall surrounding the ruins in the middle of the dam, enabling the site's inscription as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and making it a tourist destination of world importance. Tourists would be transported to the site by boats. The round wall, 420 metres in diameter, would enable visitors to see the city from 20 metres above and would also feature "hanging gardens", glass lifts, a quay, restaurants, cafés, shops, ateliers, etc. It would be illuminated at night.
The project was donated by the architect to Kazanlak municipality and funds are being raised to begin construction. According to Tilev, it would cost minimum €50 million.[1]

Weizberg Church
The Roman Catholic Weizberg Church is located on a hill in the east of the town of Weiz in Styria. The high altar is dedicated to "Our Lady of Sorrows " .
Architectural History (other pictures are clickable at the end of page!)
Weizberg Church, seen from Oberfladnitz
Weizberg church, high above the city
When the first church on the hill Weizberg was erected is unclear. One suspects the middle of the 11th Century. It is a three-nave Romanesque basilica with a two-storey east tower. It was mid-14th Century (1357 ?) extended by the construction of a choir .
Since there were as windows only hatches under the roof, it was very dark in the church, what was often complained. Various attempts to improve the light conditions in the church by modifications failed and so the dean and archpriest Dr. Franz Leopold Riedlegger (1726-1755) decided to erect a new church. But he died before.
His successor, Dr. Paul Hieronymus Schmutz, thus figures as the builder of the new church. Work began in 1757. The shell construction, built by architect Joseph Hueber, was finished after something more then a year, on 8 December 1758 the picture of grace (a Pietà by the Master of Neustift in the first quarter of the 15th century ) was brought to the new church and the first service has been celebrated.
For the interior design of the one-naved late-Baroque building initially lacked the money. Not until 1769, the sculptor Veit Koniger and the painter Joseph Adam Ritter von Mölk which were also employed in the Tabor Church, could begin their work. On 22 July 1776 consecrated Bishop Joseph Philipp Graf Spaur von Seckau the church.
221 days needed native of Vienna Court painter (Hofmaler) Joseph Adam Knight von Mölk and his colleagues in 1771 for his frescoes. Theme of the five ceiling paintings are the five major Marian feasts of the liturgical year .
From Veit Koniger stems the magnificent high altar, on which the earlier mentioned Pietà is placed.
The 1775 completed pulpit stems from sculptor Jacob Peyer. Of him are also the two side altars. They are dedicated to Saints Anne and Joseph. The large altar pictures are the work of Knight of Mölk .
In a fire in 1792 the church roof and the roofs of the 44 meter high towers were damaged.
Already in the 12th Century, the church on the "Mountain of Heaven" was a popular pilgrimage church. The pilgrimages found, however, during the Reformation a temporary end. Only in the middle of the 17th Century the number of pilgrims increased again. During the reign of Emperor Joseph II, the number of pilgrims fell and never recovered until the present .
Looking into the sanctuary
The organ of the Weizberg church was built in 2001 by the company Mathis Orgelbau (organ building) and it has 31 stops on three manuals and pedal.
Memorial
In May 2011, next to the Weizberg church a memorial was erected to commemorate the systematic murder of the Roma and Sinti during the time of National Socialism. It was designed by artist Walter Kratner of Graz and shows a broken wheel axle of a freight car, which is understood as a symbol of deportation and genocide. Behind there is an orange-colored plate with the words "Porajmos". In early July of the same year by unknown part of a wheel axle of the memorial was overturned. The act was heavily criticized by Kratner and reported to the police.
Weizbergkirche
Die römisch-katholische Weizbergkirche liegt auf einer Anhöhe im Osten der Stadt Weiz in der Steiermark. Der Hochaltar ist der „Schmerzhaften Muttergottes“ geweiht.
Baugeschichte
Weizbergkirche, hoch über der Stadt
Wann die erste Kirche auf dem Weizberg errichtet wurde, ist unklar. Man vermutet die Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts. Es handelte sich dabei um eine dreischiffige romanische Basilika mit einem zweigeschossigen Ostturm. Sie wurde Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts (1357?) durch den Zubau eines Chores erweitert.
Da es als Fenster nur Luken unter dem Dach gab, war es in der Kirche sehr dunkel, worüber oft geklagt wurde. Verschiedene Versuche, durch Umbauten die Lichtverhältnisse in der Kirche zu verbessern, scheiterten und so entschloss sich der Dechant und Erzpriester Doktor Franz Leopold Riedlegger (1726–1755), eine neue Kirche errichten zu lassen. Er starb aber vorher.
Sein Nachfolger Doktor Paul Hieronymus Schmutz scheint daher als Bauherr der neuen Kirche auf. 1757 begannen die Arbeiten. Der Rohbau, errichtet unter Baumeister Joseph Hueber, war nach etwas mehr als einem Jahr fertig, am 8. Dezember 1758 brachte man das Gnadenbild (eine Pietà vom Meister von Neustift aus dem ersten Viertel des 15. Jahrhunderts) in die neue Kirche und feierte den ersten Gottesdienst.
Für die Innengestaltung des einschiffigen, spätbarocken Baus fehlte zunächst das Geld. Erst 1769 konnten der Bildhauer Veit Königer und der Maler Joseph Adam Ritter von Mölk, die auch in der Taborkirche beschäftigt waren, diese Arbeiten beginnen. Am 22. Juli 1776 konsekrierte der Bischof Joseph Philipp Graf Spaur von Seckau die Kirche.
221 Tage brauchte der aus Wien stammende Hofmaler Joseph Adam Ritter von Mölk mit seinen Mitarbeitern im Jahr 1771 für seine Fresken. Thema der fünf Deckengemälde sind die fünf großen Marienfeste des Kirchenjahres.
Von Veit Königer stammt der prächtige Hochaltar, auf dem die schon vorher erwähnte Pietà aufgestellt ist.
Die 1775 fertiggestellte Kanzel stammt von dem Bildhauer Jakob Peyer. Von ihm sind auch die beiden Seitenaltäre. Sie sind der Heiligen Anna und dem Heiligen Josef geweiht. Die großen Altarbilder stammen von Ritter von Mölk.
Bei einem Brand im Jahr 1792 wurden das Kirchendach und die Dächer der 44 Meter hohen Türme beschädigt.
Schon im 12. Jahrhundert war die Kirche auf dem „Himmelberg“ eine beliebte Wallfahrtskirche. Die Wallfahrten fanden allerdings während der Reformationszeit ein vorübergehendes Ende. Erst in der Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts vermehrte sich die Zahl der Wallfahrer wieder. Während der Regierungszeit von Kaiser Joseph II. sank die Zahl der Pilger wieder und erholte sich bis in die Gegenwart nicht mehr.
Blick in den Altarraum
Die Orgel der Weizbergkirche wurde 2001 durch die Firma Mathis Orgelbau errichtet und verfügt über 31 Register auf drei Manualen und Pedal.
Mahnmal
Im Mai 2011 wurde neben der Weizbergkirche ein Mahnmal errichtet um der systematischen Ermordung der Roma und Sinti in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus zu gedenken. Es wurde vom Grazer Künstler Walter Kratner gestaltet und zeigt eine zerbrochene Radachse eines Güterwaggons, die als Sinnbild für Deportation und Genozid zu verstehen ist. Dahinter befindet sich eine orangefarbene Tafel mit dem Schriftzug „Porajmos“. Anfang Juli desselben Jahres wurde von Unbekannten ein Teil einer Radachse des Mahnmals umgeworfen. Die Tat wurde von Kratner heftig kritisiert und polizeilich angezeigt.

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

Sinclair College Opens World’s First Dedicated UAS Indoor Flying Pavilion
Dayton, OH – Sinclair College, home to the National UAS Training and Certification Center, is now home to the world’s first permanent, custom-built unmanned aerial systems (UAS) indoor flying facility following a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 17, coinciding with the 112th anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ first powered flight.
The UAS Indoor Flying Pavilion is the first facility in the world to be constructed and dedicated solely for UAS testing and flight operations. Covering 3,200 sq.ft. and featuring an interior ceiling height of 40 ft., the Pavilion includes a mezzanine flying deck to facilitate testing and instruction, and was constructed to allow GPS signal transmissions to support aircraft navigation.
“The new UAS Indoor Flying Pavilion marks another milestone in aviation and another important step for Sinclair in bringing the most advanced UAS capabilities to the Dayton region,” said Dr. Steve Johnson, President and CEO of Sinclair College. “Through the remarkable partnerships we’ve established, Sinclair is leading the way in what’s being called by industry leaders as the greatest aviation breakthrough since the first manned flight.”
As part of the National UAS Training and Certification Center, the new Pavilion provides space to test out vehicles, sensors and components in a controlled environment, further expanding research and development capabilities. Paired with the Center’s advanced manufacturing and rapid prototyping capabilities, sensor lab, and wind tunnel, the Pavilion will give students the opportunity to take a UAS project from the design phase through production and into flight tests in one location.
Further features of the Pavilion include:
• Fiber-optic network connection to the UAS simulation lab
• Customizable space supporting sense and avoid and other airspace integration challenges
• Controlled environment for high-risk and destructive testing
• Support for simulated cybersecurity attacks and mitigation strategies
Sinclair College is recognized as a national leader in UAS, supported by world-class partnerships, cutting-edge technology, and custom training programs designed to drive the expansion of the UAS industry. Sinclair’s curriculum focuses on real-world applications of emerging UAS and sensor technologies through classroom and online instruction, simulation and hands-on vehicle operations.
Within the courtyard, there is a central shrine dedicated to Shiva, and an image of his mount Nandi (the sacred bull). The central shrine housing the lingam features a flat-roofed mandapa supported by 16 pillars, and a Dravidian shikhara. The shrine – complete with pillars, windows, inner and outer rooms, gathering halls, and an enormous stone lingam at its heart – is carved with niches, plasters, windows as well as images of deities, mithunas (erotic male and female figures) and other figures. As is traditional in Shiva temples, Nandi sits on a porch in front of the central temple. The Nandi mandapa and main Shiva temple are each about 7 metres high, and built on two storeys. The lower stories of the Nandi Mandapa are both solid structures, decorated with elaborate illustrative carvings. The base of the temple has been carved to suggest that elephants are holding the structure aloft. A rock bridge connects the Nandi Mandapa to the porch of the temple. The base of the temple hall features scenes from Mahabharata and Ramayana
The Mandapeshwar caves perhaps have the most tumultuous history of all the Mumbai caves, or so it would seem from the scars the walls still bear. A Hindu temple, it was targeted by the Portuguese, who asserted their religious beliefs over it by literally building a monastery and a church dedicated to Our Lady of Immaculate Conception on top of the cave temple. Fr. Porto founded the monastery and church in 1544.The Mandapeshwar caves were hewn out of a hillock about 1,600 years ago. At one time, the Dahisar river ran in front of it, but over time the course of the river changed and the caves now face a main road.In the 18th century the church was desecrated after the Battle of Bassein in which the Marathas defeated the Portuguese. They uncovered and worshipped the rock-cut sculptures again, but towards the end of the 18th century the British defeated the Marathas and the caves once again functioned as a place of Christian worship. After the end of colonial rule the church fell into disrepair and the caves gradually reverted to the worship of Siva. The church, including its roof, has been destroyed, but older local residents recall playing among the aisles and the nave of the church when they were children.A three-foot-high symbol of the cross, hewn out of a stone panel that once depicted mythical Hindu figures, stands at the entrance. It is the only remaining proof of Mandapeshwar’s historical past.
Dedicated to Alan Hitchcock.

Black Friday On Record:
All City of Victoria councillors (Chandler, Coleman, Hunter, Lucas, Luton, Madoff, Thorton-Joe) except for Geoff Young voted to replace the JSB instead of repairing it. This occurred at a special meeting of the Governance and Priorities Committee (on which all councillors sit) on August 12, 2010.
Lyle Stafford's photo best exemplifies the quality of the two much-maligned, dedicated lanes for pedestrian and bicycle traffic (not to be confused with 'designated' lanes separated from vehicle traffic on roadways by a 100mm white, painted line on the road). Both dedicated lanes were lost with the demolition of this railway Xing.
Dedicated to Hamish MacInnes; Mountaineer, Member of Glencoe Rescue Team, Founder of SARDA(Search and Rescue Dog Association), & Author. A man who has dedicated his life to the Scottish Highlands.
As a past member of Derby Mountain Rescue Team I have carried casualties on the excellent MacInnes stretcher.
I have enjoyed reading Hamish's world class International Mountain Recue Handbook and several of his books including Callout, and Beyond The Ranges.
A great memory of this man was watching the BBC outside broadcast of Hamish & Joe Brown climbing a sea stack - tremendous television & climbing including two of the characters of British climbing.
