Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. It is sad to think of it closed at present owing to the current lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.
3 May 2021. ADB has developed an approach to ensure that its operations address the specific challenges and requirements of Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations (FCAS) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). ADB’s vision for a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific cannot be fully achieved if some countries remain fragile and vulnerable.
The FCAS and SIDS Approach was launched at a high-level panel on understanding the drivers of fragility in Asia and Pacific, how to address the needs in FCAS and SIDS, and the implications on development practices in the region.

San Antonio, officially the City of San Antonio, is the seventh most populous city in the United States and the second most populous city in both Texas and the Southern United States. Founded as a Spanish mission and colonial outpost in 1718, the city became the first chartered civil settlement in Texas in 1731, making it the state's oldest municipality. The city's deep history is contrasted with its rapid growth: it was the fastest-growing of the top ten largest cities in the United States from 2000 to 2010, and the second from 1990 to 2000.
Straddling the regional divide between South and Central Texas, San Antonio anchors the southwestern corner of an urban megaregion colloquially known as the "Texas Triangle".
San Antonio serves as the seat of Bexar County; recent annexations have extended the city's boundaries into Medina County and, for a tiny area near the city of Garden Ridge, into Comal County. Since San Antonio was founded during the Spanish Colonial Era, it has a church (San Fernando Cathedral) in its center, on the main civic plaza in front, a characteristic of many Spanish-founded cities, towns, and villages in Spain and Latin America. As with many other Western urban centers, areas outside the city limits are sparsely populated.
San Antonio is the center of the San Antonio–New Braunfels metropolitan statistical area. Commonly called Greater San Antonio, the metro area has a population of 2,473,974 based on the 2017 U.S. census estimate, making it the 24th-largest metropolitan area in the United States and third-largest in Texas. Growth along the Interstate 35 and Interstate 10 corridors to the north, west and east make it likely that the metropolitan area will continue to expand.
San Antonio was named by a 1691 Spanish expedition for Saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day is June 13. The city contains five 18th-century Spanish frontier missions, including The Alamo and San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which together were designated UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2015. Other notable attractions include the River Walk, the Tower of the Americas, SeaWorld, the Alamo Bowl, and Marriage Island. Commercial entertainment includes Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Morgan's Wonderland amusement parks. According to the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau, the city is visited by about 32 million tourists a year. It is home to the five-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, and hosts the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the largest such events in the U.S.
The U.S. Armed Forces have numerous facilities in and around San Antonio; Fort Sam Houston is the only one within the city limits. Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, Lackland AFB/Kelly Field Annex, Camp Bullis, and Camp Stanley are outside the city limits. Kelly Air Force Base operated out of San Antonio until 2001, when the airfield was transferred to Lackland AFB. The remaining parts of the base were developed as Port San Antonio, an industrial/business park and aerospace complex. San Antonio is home to six Fortune 500 companies and the South Texas Medical Center, the only medical research and care provider in the South Texas region.

The Fairchild Republic A-10-C Warthog The Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). Commonly referred to by its nicknames Warthog or Hog, its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter that was effective at attacking ground targets. The A-10 was designed for close-in support of ground troops, close air support (CAS), and providing quick-action support for troops against helicopters and ground forces. It entered service in 1976 and is the only production-built aircraft that has served in the USAF that was designed solely for CAS. Its secondary mission is to provide forward air controller – airborne (FAC-A) support, by directing other aircraft in attacks on ground targets. Aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.
The A-10 was intended to improve on the performance of the A-1 Skyraider and its poor firepower. The A-10 was designed around the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon. Its airframe was designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and aircraft systems, enabling it to absorb a significant amount of damage and continue flying. Its short takeoff and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines, and its simple design enables maintenance with minimal facilities. The A-10 served in Operation Desert Shield, and Operation Desert Storm, the American intervention against Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, where the A-10 distinguished itself. The A-10 also participated in other conflicts such as Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada, the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, and against ISIL in the Middle East.
The A-10A single-seat variant was the only version produced, though one pre-production airframe was modified into the YA-10B twin-seat prototype to test an all-weather night capable version. In 2005, a program was started to upgrade remaining A-10A aircraft to the A-10C configuration with modern avionics for use of precision weaponry. The U.S. Air Force had stated the F-35 would replace the A-10 as it entered service, but this remains highly contentious within the Air Force and in political circles. With a variety of upgrades and wing replacements, the A-10's service life may be extended to 2040.
The Sikorsky MH-60G/HH-60G Pave Hawk is a twin turboshaft engine helicopter in service with the United States Air Force. It is a derivative of the UH-60 Black Hawk and incorporates the US Air Force PAVE electronic systems program. The HH-60/MH-60 is a member of the Sikorsky S-70 family.
The MH-60G Pave Hawk's primary mission is insertion and recovery of special operations personnel, while the HH-60G Pave Hawk's core mission is recovery of personnel under stressful conditions, including search and rescue. Both versions conduct day or night operations into hostile environments. Because of its versatility, the HH-60G may also perform peace-time operations such as civil search and rescue, emergency aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC), disaster relief, international aid and counter-drug activities.

Developed by Ferranti Edinburgh for remote sensor battlefield surveillance in 1985, the Phoenix unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was an unsuccessful attempt at providing the Army with a low cost reconnaissance capability. The aircraft was radio controlled, and had many novel features, including landing upside down on an air-cushioned plate that extended from the fuselage. It was designed to provide its operators with real time battlefield surveillance; i.e. it had a data downlink system to enable information to be processed as it was happening. The outer casing and wings were constructed entirely of plastic; the weight of the Phoenix was only 100 pounds. Development was eventually abandoned in favour of its competition because of its complexity.

On December 8th, 2012 P4K and EPN launched the Farmers of the Future program officially in Gueriguinde. Both the Minister of Education and the Minister of Livestock participated in front of a huge crowd of 400! This program is being piloted in three schools in Libore, with the goal of changing the mindset of children about agriculture -- teaching them that it is a business not merely a way to subsist.
This was the 54 room mansion of railroad tycoon Frederick W. Vanderbilt who along with his Wife Louise Vanderbilt purchased 211 acres of land in Hyde Park in order to build his summer dwelling overlooking the Hudson River. The Beaux-Arts architecture styled dwelling was designed by architectural company McKim, Mead & White and constructed during the period of 1896-1899. The building and its surrounding property are now part of the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site.
The building reminded me of some of the Russian Czar homes you see in photos so I shot it with that in mind.

ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK
On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.
Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.
What is ZoomCharts?
What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:
- Interactive
- Fast
- Touch enabled
- Supports big data
A long time ago
DOS 6.2 allowed for:
- 320x240x8bpp
- Direct access to pixels on screen
- Assembler for performance
Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:
- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies
- Multiple resolutions
- Performance that varies by browser and device
Development setup:
- We write in JavaScript
- Commit to GitHub
- Build system in JavaScript
- Debug in Chrome
- Run automated tests
- Like WebStorm (and Vim)
Graphics:
Canvas (fast)
SVG (slow)
WebGL (>50%)
Interactive animations:
Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.
Graceful degradation:
High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.
Third party libraries:
- Raphael
- Hammer.js
- Leaflet
- Moment.js
Challenges:
- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens
- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048
- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes
- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps
Support:
- Process: TrialSupportBuy
- 1 day issue resolution
- #1 Tell me what I did wrong
- #2 Can you do…
Testing:
- Automated tests on every GIT push
Automatically:
- Compare images
- Record performance
- View errors in console
Interactive testing:
- Next step: record and playback
BrowserStack:
- Interactive mode
- Automated: Selenium API
Debugging:
Chrome Developer tools (F12)
- Debugging
- Profiling
- Timeline
Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging
Future:
- More charts
- Extension API
- Memory allocation tracking
- WebGL
We are looking for statically-typed language:
- Error checking
- Performance
- Superior minification
- Easy to write and read
- Easy to call from JS
Building
Custom build script:
- Compile
- Minify
- Extract documentation
- Embed customer data

18 June 2018 Kraków’s history spans a millennium: it was the seat of Polish kings and the capital of the country, developing into one of the key European metropolitan centres. The Old Town is an exceptional treasury of works of art, with traces of history and heritage representing nearly all architectural styles from the early Middle Ages to contemporary times.
For centuries, the Main Market Square (Rynek Główny) has been the heart of the city: the largest market square of mediaeval Europe, it has preserved its original shape since 1257, and it was entered on the original UNESCO World Heritage List in 1978. For 600 years, a bugle call has been played from the taller tower of St Mary’s Church, standing by the square, to the four corners of the world. Situated in its centre, the Cloth Hall (Sukiennice), a mediaeval shopping arcade, is one of the most recognisable examples of Polish architecture.
Kraków boasts one of the oldest institutions of higher education in Central Europe, second only to the University of Prague: the Jagiellonian University, whose students have included Mikołaj Kopernik (Nicolas Copernicus) and Pope John Paul II. Wawel Hill, inhabited since Palaeolithic times, has been an important religious centre and home to Polish monarchs since the mid-11th century. Today, with its no fewer than 71 exhibition halls, Wawel Royal Castle functions as a museum, drawing visitors with precious works of Renaissance art, among other attractions. Its arcaded courtyard, a pearl of 16th-century architecture, inspires awe and amazement.
Besides the city centre, the Kazimierz district likewise intrigues owing to many centuries of coexistence of two cultures: Christian and Jewish. Brimming with gems of Judaica of international significance, it is a place teeming with life: home to flea and art markets, and atmospheric taverns, pubs, restaurants, and cafés with live music. The Father Laetus Bernatek Footbridge connects Kazimierz to Podgórze – a district forgotten for years that has become fashionable, yet remaining peaceful and atmospheric. Nowa Huta, the most attractive and comprehensive implementation of the dreams of socialist realist architects, still surprises with the striking symmetry of its monumental structures.
Kraków is also a city with a dynamic cultural life. In 2000 it was a European City of Culture. Every year, nearly 100 festivals and other events, many of world magnitude, are held here; notably Misteria Paschalia, Sacrum Profanum, the Jewish Culture Festival, and the Kraków Film Music Festival (FMF). It is also a city of modern museums, where visitors are invited to discover history in an interactive manner.
It goes without saying that Kraków enchants with its unique atmosphere: lazy and relaxed at times, brimming with events at others, yet always exceptional and inspiring.

In 1865 Dr Hamilton Goodwin developed a machine to compete with that of his arch rival and fellow mechanical engineer, Charles Babbage. Dr Goodwin's machine, built around an old church organ, was designed to calcute advanced mathmatical sums by hitting the keys of the organ in sequence. The answer to the sum was then printed from a slot in the organ's rear.
Beneath the wooden shell of the organ were various analytical engines and procesing units, all given a boost in power by a steam-compression tank located behind the organ. Rumour has it that during the many years Goodwin spent perfecting the machine he added a number of devices inside the organ including a cooling fan, several more steam chambers and even a cage containing several mice.
Sadly, despite making the Steam Organ his life work, Goodwin failed to gain any fame or acceptance due to the machine's tendency to mis-calculate sums. It was also common for the print-out to read gibberish rather than the actual answer, such as the infamous incident when Goodwin showed the organ to Queen Victoria and it printed out a sheet which read '786TRAPPED! 01000101010!!?!>>NOT AMUSED WE ARE NOT 0111!'
Goodwin died alone in 1880 and the organ was donated to the local scrap merchant.

Taken from the Bae Systems website 19/06/2012:
The aircraft will fly using Instrument Flight Rules under air traffic control. In preparation, trials taking place this month include the world’s first use of autonomous, vision-based weather-avoidance routing and the first UK surrogate flight of a fully functional visual sense-and-avoid system which includes collision avoidance tests using a second aircraft. This trial will begin to demonstrate to regulators such as the Civil Air Authority and air traffic control service providers, the progress made towards achieving the safe use of UAVs in UK airspace.
The new technology is part of a suite of innovations being brought together for the first time as a UK industry-led programme known as ASTRAEA (Autonomous Systems Technology Related Airborne Evaluation & Assessment); a UK industry-led consortium focusing on the technologies, systems, facilities, procedures and regulations that will allow autonomous vehicles to operate safely and routinely in civil airspace over the United Kingdom.
Lambert Dopping-Hepenstal, the Engineering Director at BAE Systems responsible for the ASTRAEA programme said: “The use of a surrogate Uninhabited Air Vehicle allows prototype autonomous systems developed by the ASTRAEA team to be evaluated safely in the air. The BAE Systems Jetstream Flying Test Bed has been configured as a “surrogate UAV’ where the on-board pilots can take their hands off the controls and hand over control to the on-board system developed by the ASTRAEA team. Racks of computers and control systems in the rear of the aircraft mean it can fly as if it were a UAV without any input from the pilots.
He continued: “The ASTRAEA system is capable of preventing mid-air collisions with other aircraft using a ‘sense and avoid’ system, detecting and avoiding bad weather conditions and relaying air traffic control instructions to the remote pilot via satellite to the ground control station. The weather avoidance system will use sophisticated image processing techniques to detect and avoid clouds and is just one of the new capabilities being tested onboard the Jetstream.”
From now and until the winter, the ASTRAEA system on-board the Jetstream will be put through its paces, in a series of at least 20 flight tests over the Irish Sea and through UK airspace.

Developed from late-1970s studies for a "727-300" and first flown in February 1982, the 757 replaced the highly successful 727-200 in Boeing's lineup. These days, the newer Airbus A321 and Boeing 737NG/737 Max offer similar passenger capacity at lower operating costs, the tradeoff being somewhat lower range and takeoff performance. The one niche where the 757 remains common is trans-continental and trans-Atlantic flying, such as this, flight UA 510 from LAX to Newark, New Jersey (EWR.)
Europe Trip 2010 - Day 13

London ( /ˈlʌndən/) is the capital of England and the United Kingdom, the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures.[note 1] London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who called it Londinium.[6] London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries.

Steve is looking fine this Spring! He also has a gopher snake holing up in his massive bark ridges. I nearly met him while resting against his grand trunk. My kids pointed him out to me just in time for me to not jump. (-:
