The church dedicated to "Saint Hierarch Nicolae" and the Three Holy Hierarchs in the Băneasa neighborhood is a foundation of the Văcărescu family, guarding the northern border of the Capital for more than two centuries.
The church survives as part of the mansion that was built here by Ienăchiță Văcărescu.
Saint Nicholas Church, in the Baneasa district, is an Orthodox church located on Neagoe Voda street, near the Baneasa bridge, in the northern part of Bucharest.
Under the protection of Saint Hierarch Nicolae, celebrated on December 6, and of the Three Holy Hierarchs, celebrated on January 30, this church was started before 1792, by Ecaterina Vacarescu, and finished by Enache Vacarescu.
"He who pours myrrh of great price to the whole world and to me, to the unworthy and more than all sinner, give it to me, so that I may bring you singing, Father Nicolae.
You, as the one who has courage towards God, free me from all troubles, so that I can sing to you: Rejoice, Holy Hierarch Nicholas, great worker of miracles!"
The inscription of this church testifies to the following:
"This church, in which the saint Hierarch Nicholas of Mira Lichia, the miracle worker, and the Holy Hierarchs and the great teachers of the world Basil the Great, Gregory Bogoslov and John Zlataust are celebrated, were built from the foundation of Mrs. Jupaneasa Ecaterina Vacarescu, the daughter of Mr. Donie Vacarescu - the treasurer and, remaining unfulfilled due to many scandals that have revolted our country many times, then, in the year 1792, they were committed by Mr. Enache Vacarescu and his enlightened wife , Ecaterina, daughter of Voivod Caragea, in the days of the Most Enlightened Mr. Mihai Șutu, after beautifying her with all the necessary things."
According to several documents, this church served as a prayer chapel for the Vacaresti family, with their boyar houses nearby.
In 1864, with the appropriation of the peasants, the chapel became the parish church.
The place of prayer was successively repaired in 1845 and 1888.
Later, between the years 1932-1933, the church was painted for the first time, in oil, by the painter N.I. Colnitiu, covered with tiles and floored with concrete slabs.
In the fall of 1939, when the Bucharest-Ploiesti road is being built, a protective wall is built for the church, which can be seen from the road, as well as a staircase with stone slabs.
The earthquake of 1977, the occasional repairs and the vibrations caused by the intense traffic on the road at the base of the church, severely affected its resistance structure.
Thus, starting with 1982, priest Carstoiu Virgil took care of carrying out numerous restoration and improvement works, as follows: replacement of the roof; strengthening the walls with concrete belts, which cross the church and support the roof; the organization of the church yard and its flooring with concrete tiles; removing the concrete and earth from the church, to a depth of one meter, and replacing them with river stone, and then flooring with marble; the restoration of the painting, in fresco, by the painter Banica Dumitru; furniture carved in oak wood and stained glass windows made by Gruia Rotariu.
Saint Nicholas Church was re-consecrated on May 26, 2002, the service being performed by His Holiness Vincentiu Ploiesteanul.
After this date, the interior and exterior sound system, the heating and the alarm equipment complete the series of improvements that were brought to the holy church.
The parish has a very small parish cemetery, established in 1864, located between the blocks of flats.
In 1992, in the middle of the cemetery, a chapel was built, which was consecrated in 1996.
The chapel is painted, equipped with new furniture, heating, lighting, etc.
The parish also has a parish house, bought in 1976, repaired and equipped with the necessary things, between 1983-2009.

Pics from the AuthentiCity Lounge, the dedicated space in NYC where the AuthentiCity exhibition took place.
“AuthentiCity” is a photography project conceived in cooperation with the School of Visual Arts (SVA), New York, aimed at young international artists who are SVA students or alumni.
The project theme – “Revealing purity and authenticity in urban life” – is an invitation to use the straightforward language of photography to explore signs of authenticity and purity in the urban setting.
The project began with more than 200 photographers, educated at SVA, who were charged with capturing their vision of urban life. The 19 works selected in the preliminary stage were presented last April in an open exhibition during the Milan Design Week. Five of the 19 photographers, Carlos Alvarez Montero, Igor Aronov, Matthew Baum, Giselle Behrens and Caroline Shepard, were then selected, through a series of juror selections, to continue their work and each received a cash prize of $3000.00. Project winners were then chosen to be featured in the dedicated exhibition at the illy issimo AuthentiCity Lounge in New York.

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.
(•) – The Lockheed Martin HC-130J Hercules The Combat King II is the U.S. Air Force's only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform and is flown by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). This C-130J variation specializes in tactical profiles and avoiding detection and recovery operations in austere environments. The HC-130J replaces HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. It is an extended-range version of the C-130J Hercules transport. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, airland, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions. When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, and noncombatant evacuation operations.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130J have improved navigation, threat detection and countermeasures systems. The aircraft fleet has a fully-integrated inertial navigation and global positioning systems, and night vision goggle, or NVG, compatible interior and exterior lighting. It also has forward-looking infrared, radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers, satellite and data-burst communications, and the ability to receive fuel inflight via a Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI).
The HC-130J can fly in the day; however, crews normally fly night at low to medium altitude levels in contested or sensitive environments, both over land or overwater. Crews use NVGs for tactical flight profiles to avoid detection to accomplish covert infiltration/exfiltration and transload operations. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications, and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Drop zone objectives are done via personnel drops and equipment drops. Rescue bundles include illumination flares, marker smokes and rescue kits. Helicopter air-to-air refueling can be conducted at night, with blacked out communication with up to two simultaneous helicopters. Additionally, forward area refueling point operations can be executed to support a variety of joint and coalition partners.
Background
The HC-130J is a result of the HC/MC-130 recapitalization program and replaces Air Combat Command's aging HC-130P/N fleet as the dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. The 71st and 79th Rescue Squadrons in Air Combat Command, the 550th Special Operations Squadron in Air Education and Training Command, the 920th Rescue Group in Air Force Reserve Command and the 106th Rescue Wing, 129th RQW and 176th Wing in the Air National Guard will operate the aircraft.
First flight was 29 July 2010, and the aircraft will serve the many roles and missions of the HC-130P/Ns. It is a modified KC-130J aircraft designed to conduct personnel recovery missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range or air refueling.
In April 2006, the personnel recovery mission was transferred back to Air Combat Command at Langley AFB, Va. From 2003 to 2006, the mission was under the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Previously, HC-130s were assigned to ACC from 1992 to 2003. They were first assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command.

Jama Mosque, Agra
The Mosque was built by Mughal emperor, Shahjahan in 1648 and dedicated to his favourite daughter, Jahanara Begum. There was a spacious, octagonal Tripolia Chowk which existed between the Jama Masjid and the Delhi gate of the Agra Fort. This Tropolia was destroyed in order to create the Agra Fort Railway Station. The cloisters have engrailed arches supported on pillars. The main entrance is through the eastern side. The prayer chamber has a façade with a broad arched iwan in its centre and is adorned with slender turrets alternated with kiosks. Its dome is the largest and highest of the three domes crowning the sanctuary.
All the bulbous domes have inverted lotus and kalash finials on the top and have narrow zigzag courses of white marble alternated by broad bands of red stone. There is a fountain with four kiosks in its corners in the centre of the courtyard. The interiors of the western wall have a beautiful mihrab and pulpit in white marble. The Persian inscription in white marble inlaid with black stone on the archway of the central portal is in praise of Jahanara and Shah Jehan. The pristine beauty of the mosque must have been awesome as indicated by its comparison with Baitul-Mamur, the fabulous mosque of rubies and pearls situated in the fourth sky. It is said that once surrounded by a market place called Tripolia set in an octagonal (Muthamman) Chowk that was built between the Delhi Gate and the Jami Masjid. But, it was later destroyed in 1871-73 to acquire space for laying down the railway tracks for the city.
It required six years and 5,000 workers to finish. It was made by using red sandstone and marble.
