Jennel Alexander by Ellen Krausse

Jennel is devoted to bringing the game of golf to young kids in Los Angeles as she teaches junior a game of honesty and patience. In an after school program she teaches the basics of the game and the fundamentals of the swing.

Transcribed Interview:

"I am an Assistant Proffesional at a private country club and we run the junior camps. So we teach kids ages 6-13. We give them fun games and activities to play while learning golf to make it easier for them to undersand and make it more fun.

I am a really big advocate for promoting sports. I think that, you know, through sports you can establish a lot of friendships. You can kind of socialize yourself. I think kids who are involves in sports can socialize themselves much much better. They have a life outside of their school. I think that is really important too and also the activity. A lot of people dont think that there is a lot of physical activity involved in golf, but there is. You are practicing everyday outside in the sun. You know if you are playing for a high school team or something you are walking, caring your bag, it may not be the same as playing basketball or something like that, but it is still tough. I think it is really good for anyone really, not just kids but to stay heathly and fit.

I started playing golf when I was ten or eleven and I just think that through golf it opened a lot of opportunities. You have things like scholarships and things that some kids that aren't involved in sports, not just necessarily golf but any kind of athletics that other people wouldn't normally have, really important things that can open things for your future.

We just run certain camps during popular seasons like the summer and spring. I know for a fact that a lot of them are involved in another sports like swimming and basketball.

I really like teaching kids because they are a lot of fun. When I do my individual lessons sometimes I have adults that want to take lesons they have already established some hitches or glitches in their swings and they think they know the right way and they are kind of stubborn. Kids are just a lot easier to teach for me, especially ones that haven't been introduced to the game yet, I can kind of mold them and they listen to what I say and they can improve a lot quicker I think."

Edward Pease by Frank Priestman - Darlington Library, Darlington by Bolckow

Crown Street, Darlington the gift of Edward Pease of the Quaker Pease Family. The Laying of the Corner Stone of the Darlington Free Library by Sir Joseph W. Pease, Bart, M.P. took place on 4th June 1884 and the building was officially opened on 23rd October 1885, by Lady Lymington.

North Star Darlington Saturday 24th October 1885

"UNVEILING OF THE BUST Mr David Dale in asking the Borough Member to unveil the bust of the late Mr Edward Pease said from the purposes for which that building was obviously designed and from the use which he hoped it would be in perpetuity devoted the inquirer of the future would learn much of the character of Edward and he would infer and rightly infer that Edward Pease was a man who was devoted to culture that he appreciated the pleasures and recognised the importance of cultivating a taste for reading and of helping a communion through books with the great min of past ages And' he would infer rightly that Edward Pease was a man of generous sympathies who desired to place within the reach of others that world of books to which he was himself devoted and that he was a man who applied much of that wealth which a gracious Providence had endowed him to noble public uses The inquirer having learned thus much of the man in whom he was interested he would desire to know something of his personal presence and presentment and it was partly with a view to meet that desire and partly to mark their own love and respect that numerous townsmen of Edward some who like himself had known him from Ins bovhood many who had worked with him in public and philanthropic objects and many belonging to that artisan class in whom he took so deep an interest commissioned their talented townsman Frank Priestman to execute a bust from such photographic material as was available (Applause) It was now his duty on behalf of the subscribers to present the bust to the Mayor and in the presence of that distinguished company and of the only descendant of Edward Pease with whose mixed feelings on that occasion they heartily sympathised to ask the Member of the borough to unveil the bust (Applause) Mr Fry MP then proceeded to unveil the bust whose exact position in tho library we have already indicate! He observed that one distinguishing feature of tho character of the late Mr Edward Pease was his great sympathy with those who were sick and suffering perhaps because he hinself did not enjoy strong health Mr Pease was largely interested with his brothers in the erection of the Convalescent Home at Saltburn and the same spirit induced him to open at Bournemouth a home where ladies of limited means and in delicate health might receive the benefit of rest at the sea side He was also the founder of the Anti-Opium Society whose efforts to suppress that immoral traffic among the Chinese had been attended with considerable success (Applause)

MR ARTHUR ADDRESS Alderman Arthur Pease MP said he rejoiced in the thought to which expression had just been given that the citizens of Darlington would have something upon which they could gaze which would recall to the memory of so many of them features that were once familiar He cordially united with his brother in the gratification they felt at the expression of satisfaction of it's town with the way in which they bad fulfilled their duties under the will of the late Edward Pease They had felt that theirs was a sacred trust (Hear hear) It was a trust that was congenial to their own min ts and they bad found in the architect one who hid been able to give an expression to that which they cleared in presenting before the view of all the town a building worthy of the object for which it was intended (Applause) On account of his brother health to which allusion had been made he was not able to take the prominent part in commerce and public affairs which had fallen to the lot of many of them On that account he had more and he very largely occupied that leisure time in the acquirement of information from books He was a diligent reader he read with great (te and he had a tenacious memory 0e found that his life was sweetened by the knowledge he thus obtained and he earnestly desired that others whose means might not be so great as his should share in some of the intellectual enjoyment which he himself had found (Applause) The great deeds of men reminded them that they might make their lives sublime There was a sphere for each on a of them Let the remembrance of that day be to stir them up to diligence that while they had the strength and the opportunity they might fulfil the work which was allotted to them On Behalf of Sir Joseph Pease and himself he thanked all who had taken an interest in the proceedings of that day They felt their part had been discharged but they also felt that if it had not been for the cordial co-operation of the Mayor and Corporation and of others the ceremony of that day would have been incomplete indeed He bad to express once more how cordially his brother and he appreciated their kindness and how much they rejoiced in the success which had attended the arrangements (Applause) The Mayor having thanked the subscribers to the bust on behalf of the town cheers were raised for Lady Lymington and the formal opening proceedings concluded The Library was afterwards inspected by hundreds of persons the really beautiful interior Being universally admired The day was observed as a half holiday most of the works being closed at noon.

THE LUNCHEON At the conclusion of the opening ceremony the company proceeded to the Trevelyan Temperance Hotel where over 100 guests partook of luncheon at the invitation of his Worship the Mayor At the termination of the repast the Mayor stated that Alderman Lucas Pease Mr Parker and the Rev Kendall were prevented by indisposition from being present The toast of the Queen and the Royal Family was then enthusiastically honoured on the proposition of the Mayor Mr Bowman JP briefly proposed the health of All Christian Ministers and The Vicar op Darlington (the Rev Hodgson) in responding said the Church had yesterday suffered a very great loss (hear hear) in the sudden removal of the Lord Bishop of Manchester who had been called not only Bishop of Manchester but Bfehop of all hear and there was auother bishop seriously ill whose life was despaired of and it was a good thing to drink his health if it would have any beueficial effect (Applause) Ha was sometimes surprised by the amount of work their own Bishop got through (Applause) He believed the clergy and dissenting ministers endeavoured to do the duty assigned to them and all felt deeply interested in tne event of that day (Applause) The clergy had always taken a great interest in education and could not fail to (eel deeply interested in seeing established in Darlington a public library like that opened by Lady Lymington whom they were all pleased to (Applause) He hoped it would be extremely useful and would also advance many ways the great cause of Christianity (Applause) The Town Clerk op Darlington (Mr Hugh Dunn) proposed the toast The Houses of Parliament in a humorous speech in the course of which he said he would not say anything of the Houses of Parliament as they existed at present and as to them as they would exist after the General Election he would not venture to speak because it was a good plan not to prophecy uutil they knew (Laughter) He hoped every gentleman who was a candidate would be satisfied with the result of the General Election (Laughter) Lord Lymington in replying said he felt somewhat in the anomalous and rather peiplexing position to which the Town Clerk had alluded He like his friend Mr Fry was not certain whether he was condemned or not (Laughter) It was left to a mysterious process it would not be proper for him to discuss on a non-political occasion to decide but they had a few days to live and although they might not afterwards be supporters from within the House of Commons they might be bulwarks from without (Applause) The Town Clerk had said that he was not a public speaker but be thought Mr Dunn had succeeded in making a very witty speech (Applause He thousht however a great many of those who were sitting in the House and those who were candidates would wish they had not the power of speaking in public and others might wish so too (Laughter) He remembered a remark once made by Lord Beaconsfield There was a dull debate in the House of Commons and he happened to come down to hear it A member of the House who happened to be rather deaf was making use of an ear trumpet and Lord Beaconsfield aud you conceive a man to be such a fool as to interfere with so providential a (Laughter) He hoped the next House of Commons would show a greater aptitude for business and less for talk He spoke from no party point of view but he thought it would be a very great national misfortune if the reputation and character of the House of Commons were to suffer in the eyes of the people because the House of Commons was not a really effective and business-like senate (Applause) He hoped it might be spared from any evil of the kind (Applause) Of course it was only fair that during the great General Election principles should be abundantly debated and discussed but he hoped that whoever were returned would devote themselves to the business of the country with somewhat more despatch and a little less talk than the present House (Applause) Mr Fry MP also responded remarking that if the Honse of Commons transacted their business with the same celerity and ability as the Corporations did thev would have performed a great deal more business than they had done in the last few years (Applause) Mr Steavenson ex-Mayor of Darlington in proposing the health of Mr Edward Executors said he could not give the toast in the language which lie thought it deserved (Applause) He felt they had had imposed upon them a trust which they had discharged certiinly with very great credit to themselves and very great satisfaction to the town of Darlington-( Applause) He believed the will of the late Mr Edward Pease left them the power to dispose of the fund in such a manner as they might think best tit for furthering the education of the town of Darling ton and he could not think of one institution more calculated to do good than a public library for that town (Applause) The Education Act had brought the children forward to a certain point by empowering the authorities to give instruction to the children in such a manner that they were now able ta understant and avail themselves of those ad vantages offered by the library (Applause) Their old Library was good in its way but he trusted that their present library would be stocked with books of greater value not only intrinsically but as to the elements of teaching than ever the Mechanics Library was The Library possessed a small reference library but a large space had been left in the present building for a reference library which he thought was calculated to continue the education of the children in such a maimer as the present generation would hardly be able to realise (Applause) The taste for literature and learning had been begun with the children in the elementary schools and he trusted that they would go day after day and night after night to that reference library and avail themselves of the opportune the executors of the late Mr Edwara Pease had been pleased to put in their power and he hoped the subscription list would swell not only in money but by donations of books (Applause) He was not able that morning to give them the list of books which the library contained but he would do so now The total volumes in the reference library was 2982 and in the lending library 7625 making a total of 10607 (Applausej Out of that number of books 8386 had Seen purchased and 7221 given (Applause) The cost of the 3386 volumes was £472 18s 6dl of which £447 0s had been expended ob hooka to hand the conveyance of the lead and building to the Mayor He said: Mr Mayor my Lord Lymington Lady Lymington ladies an 1 gentlemen The duty that 1 have to perform to-day is one of a most simple character and yet it is one that amidst so large at assembly belonging to my native town I cannot discharge without some of those feelings creeping into my heart which render it somewhat difficult to discharge even ao small a duty In handing over to you Mr Mayor this paper which contains the conveyance of this building to you and the Town Council of Darlington and those whom you may represent for what men call for ever I do it at thebequet which is after all the most solemn fom of request of one who will ever be remembered in this town and one whose bequest and request in this matter my brother and myself nave had great pleasure in discharging (Hear hear) He was known among you as a young man he worked among your working men he saw the temptations which assailed them he knew ths troubles of life which environed them and ho was de ermined whilst he lived to do what he cou'd to raise the men and women of this district higher if possible in the scale of mental and intellectual standing than they were when he was born (Applause) He failed in his because the time was not favourable to to induce you during his life to adopt what he thought would be the benefits of the Free Library jhear but he left as yon are awaro a clause in his will in which he put £1 1000 absolutely under tte discretion of my brother and myself for works of education here Wo thought we could not better apply that money tban in the direction which he during his life had marked ont for us and to-day we disenargeour duty I am really afraid that we have almost spent tbo whole of our money as I ha-1 hoped there might have besn a nest eee left for some other educational work in the district I have the honour of handing to you Mr Mayor this paper in the presence of his whose kind consideration in this matter we have always had who has taken a great interest in this building and who will I hope before many moments are over unlock it as I have already said for the benefit of these in this town and neighbourhood whom her father so much loved (Applause) It is hardly ns ts (ary for me to say much more but I cannot forbear saying that he who is gone from as bore a name which will not be forgotten in this kingdom (Hear hear) His name I bolieve would bo banded down to posterity if tins building behind me liad never existed His great de-ire will I believe be fulfilled and this building will do much towards encouraging those literary tastes which I hope not only render men better citizens but I heartily believe and pray make them better Christians (Applause) 1 hand you over this conveyance Mr Mayor and I will only add two more lines to my speech and those are words which we may always lender A gee man never dies beyond thegitssof Death lo th) land of Glory (Much ap lause) '1 hs Mayor accepted the document and on behalf of the town most co liallv thanked Sir Joseph and Mr Arthur ise not merely as legal trustees but os th jso who hail rejoiced to rry out the wishes of a dear one After eulogising the memory of the late Mr Edward Pease his Wurshp handed to Lady Lymington a silver key with which to open the building ai which bore tho inscrintioo Public Library Presented to Viscount tss Lym'nzton 1 the Corporation of Dari ng on on the asioa of her opening the Pnblic Library iber 1885 Swenson Chairman of Com-mittte: Hoskins (Arplause) Lady Lymington accepted he key I must thank 501 Mr Mayor for this key which you have given me on behalf of the Corporate Having unlocked the door her Ladyship walked some distance into the vestibule of the Library and then returned to the steps Lady Lymington then said Ladies and You will I am sure beiieve that it gives me the very greatest pleasure to be here to day and to declare" this building open It was as yon know bequeathed to yon by my dear father and I teel sure that bis trustees my uncles have fulfilled Ills bequest entirely as he would have wished I have great pleasure in declaring the building open (Loud applause) VOTE OP THANKS TO IADY LYMINGTON Mr Steavenson chairman of the library Committee proposed a Tore of thanks to Lady Lym ngton for her kindness in coming there and taking epart in the opening ceremony of that magnificent building In the course of a few apnro priate observations he observed that unner the Free Act which they id adopted the library-rate could not exceed Id in the pound which upon the present rateable value of Darlington raised about £069 a year After paym nt of tho workin expenses they hoped to have something like £350 or £400 to invest in books 1 Hear hoar) Mr HOSKINS conded the proposed votb He remarked that Lady Lymington without doubt was the right woman in the right place tint day (Applause) The vote was accorded very cordially LOnD ymington returns thanks Viscount Lymington in responding on behalf of her Ladyship said lie had to thank them most heartily for tho very kind manner in which they had extended the vote of thanks He could truly say that that was a day which would always be looked upon by his wife with the deepest interest There were moment! in the lives of every one of us which left an impression so powerful and clear that years could hardly weaken them and no time could obliterate (Hear hear) 8nch he was suie would be this occasion Their thoughts that day were naturally drawn towards one with whom was associated his tonderest recollections in the past one who offered to them a great exainplo of a good and Godly life and one whose presence was still felt among them that day speaking as it di 1 to them in the beneficence of that grea: in-titution wiiich they were called upon that day tu commemorate (Applause) Perhaps they would allow him iu the course of his remarks to say something about the books which were to be the tenants ot tie shelves of the library (Haar bear) Books wore becoming more and more the only means by which great thinkers could give what was best to tlie public We heard a great ileal about the phrase the influence of the That phrase was one which hud always somewhat puzzled h'in He kuew nut what that influence precisely meant or what the Press was but 1 his he ventured to say that every day tnt-n were beginning to read the newspapers more for facts than for ideas (Hear hear) They saw that constantly and they also saw that local new-papers were taking the place of the London newspapers and this must become still more the case in the future He believed as that municipal life was engendered iu the country at large wh'ch was promised to us by both parties under the County Boari people would read more and more their lo al newspapers But there was this great distinction between newspapers and thitthe one was the result of the best of a brains and the other must of neccs ity be only the best means of making use of those brains under certain circumstances The one was complete the other of necessity must be partial and ephemeral ami that was why if we look at some of the greatest social movements in this and we were perhaps marching out of a political into a social chapter in the we would find that those movements which had stirred men minds so deeply and hail produced such great results were tho outcome of books such as in the case of the French Revolution of Rousseau the Puritan movement of John Miltonl and the great ecclesiastical movement of Cardina Newman But he was afraid to many of ua books had appsared only to bo rather dead things in stiff covers which had nothing of human interest about them which cared not for the toil or for the pleasure which partook not of hill or the stubble-fields of the sun rise or the snn-tet of the cares or desirts of life If this were so if bookB would not speak to us when we spoke to them they would indeed be pqnr companions for human beings (Hear hear) Bathe venture 1 to say that a library ought to be a club of the best minde of all time (Applause) We must remember that books spoke to ns in the first person instead of the big adopted by the editor of a newspaper or a reviewer We had in Shakespeare a man who was thoroughly acquainted with human nature he wae able to enter into the manhood of people farthest away from him people with whom he had had least to do Shakespeare had shown himself to be a true friend to us he had heloed us not only to know the past history of our country the land and its people but he had told us of human character of the people whom we were meeting in every-day life If he (Lord Lymington) was not wearying them (cries of "Go on would say a few words to prove the friendship of books having regard to Milton Milton wa 1 perhaps tha greatest literary writer who produced the greatest political and social consequences There was no man who had so set before us who had so impressed the public mind with the grandeur of great aims In every line of the poem Samson Agnnstes" in which ho had interpreted the playwright of the Greeks moat exquisitely by his knowledge of the Scriptures the man himself spoke he himself transferred ns to the presence of Samson and there he pleaded for and sympathised with human nature for that great infirmity of blindness which was the affliction of his life Milton had also this he showed the true epirit of genius by begetting life-warmth and kindling enthusiasm in every one who had read those pages If there was poetry in a poem it must be iu the (hear hear) it must be in the poet not because he was a stone or a rock but because he was a living and a Buffering man (Applause) Lot him take another case to prove the friendship of books via that of Cowper However we might estimate his poetry it was the poetry and the language of a gentleman and a scholar characteristic was that he not only sympathised with his readers but he asked his hearers to sympathise with him They all knew of the terrible tragedy which wa? at the bottom of his life and which a the shadows of evening closed around him grew more terrible They remembered the hopeless lines which he wrote and how his deathbed was described by his nephew who saw playing about the features of Cowper after his death a beautiful and holy smile which seemed to show that visions of the future had appeared to him now that he had pierced the impenetrable veil of the present In all the great writers of the past we were dealing with living men' He had said that a library was society a club of the best minds of all times Let him say one word more with regard to the great educational value of books We often heard at the present day of the advantage of special journals or newspapers to represent the desires and of oertnin classes It had often been remarked how advantageous it would be to establish a paper which would represent the feelings of the working classes With all due deference he protested against that and for this reason In the first place the working classes were so much the stuff and the life of the country that no one journal or newspaper could represent their feelings (Hoar hear) It could only represent a faction and not the most serious and the deepest feeling even of that faction but only their superficial feelings at moments of temporary excitement But he objected to any proposal of that kind and to the tendency of to-day In this desire of the working classes to have their own opinions represented they re copying a wish and a desire which made the upper classes weak They were weak and did not expand because they were so fond of having their own maxims repeated to them Instead of wishing for teachers who should teach them other greater or nobler things they were constantly seeking teachers who should put them in good humour with themselves He hoped and believed that the ambition of the working classes was different that as bad been well said they did not wish to live on their knees but to acauire a nobler and better life These treasures of tne mind of which he had been speaking were the inheritance of poverty perhaps oftener than of wealth All could share ana partake of them and the working classes in so doing doing what was beat (or themselves and (or the SATURDAY OCTOBER 2h 18S5 RECOGNISING RESPONSIBILITIES The opening of a Free Library must of necessity be a circumstance of considerable importance and Darlington was justified yesterday in holding high holiday in honour of such an event Like many another place the town which is serio comically called by people whe have no sense of the ludicrous Athens of South Durham had resolutely refused to adopt the Free Libraries Acts its inhabitants emphatically said No But when the Trustees of the late Mr Edward Pease generously offered to build and fit-up such a Library if the burgesses would adopt it as their own and keep it up opposition naturally ended and ceremony was the sequel Like most other social subjects there is a good deal to be said against Free Libraries as well as in their favour but so far as Darlington is concerned all the adverse arguments were put out of court by an act of generosity on the part of what it is the fashion in certain schools of thought to sneer at as the dead and by the wise application of those gentlemen to whom Mr Edward Pease entrusted the earrying-out of his wishes Hull Edinburgh Glasgow Westminster these and other large centres of population still refuse to rate themselves in order that thd many may read works of fiction and the few consult books of reference and dip into works published at a prohibitive price but the Skcrneside borough had such an offer as only imbecility would refuse and it was promptly accepted As we have before said the building is most admirably adapted for its purposes all that skill wealth experience and research could yield-up to produce perfection were pressed into service it will remain throughout time we trust a monument alike to the liberality of the much-beloved dead donor and the practical wisdom of his two administering relatives It was a happy thought originally suggested in these columns we believe to get Mr Edward only child to perform the opening ceremony and as she has lately become the wife of a Viscount the presence of her husband shed a welcome glory upon the scene For the British public dearly love a Lord and none more so than your ramping Radical The aristooarcy may be railed against by such in th abstract mention of the House of Lords may provoke his howls when is in the air But place a Peer in front of him put his Lordship up to speak to him and the simply effaces himself looking-on with an awestruck air which strangely contrasts with his every-day Equality outcries In this and in other ways is it proved that natural leaders of the people are the cultured classes that Viscount Lymington therefore had a hearty reception from all classes yesterday his scholarly address from the steps of the Library and his clear-cut sentences subsequently proving that the future Earl of Portsmouth adds brains to birth and is admirably fitted to adorn his high position The concluding ceremony then iu connection with this Free Library gift to the town of Darlington was well worthy of its conception and execution After all however it is only just that some of the enormous profits which the members of the Pease Family have derived from their various industrial undertakings should be given-up for the benefit of their poorer neighbours While humble workers throughout long years painfully toiled for pence the employers pocketed pounds until the aggregate of the thus-acquired wealth amounted to more than a million and a-half sterling It is of course kind and considerate of the possessors of all this Money to (as they do) "do gbod and distribute selfish souls would either hoard it up in order to pass it on upon the condemned entail and primogeniture principle or squander it in self-indulgence and wickedly Bjit while we unhesitatingly join in earned eulogy-chorus and say to every praise-sentence that was uttered it ought not to be forgotten that Money as well as Land has its duties in addition to its rights and that when trade-profits have swollen to such an enormous extent in one Family partly by thrift and partly by careful management it is hnt a plain duty to give a bonus as it were to the masses by whose help such grand results were achieved While therefore we repeat the praise poured over the donor and his surviving relatives yesterday because of this Free Library gift and gladly give credit for the generosity and the kindly feelings which it discloses we would at the same time hint at the per the abiding debt which Wealth owes to Poverty and remind all concerned that to whom much is given much is also required in other than the Biblical sense especially where the is largely the direct result of the exertions of men aud women who were comparatively speaking poorly paid whilst the pile was being reared Darlington and its district owe much to the Family of which Sir Joseph Pease is the honoured head but at the same time the Family also owe very much in return And interesting ceremony may be regarded as a frank acknowledgment of this fact Long may such kindly relationships continue and would that more of the men with much Money recognised their purse responsilities to the poor in the same way In order to give as much news as possible this morning we withhold our Election Notes and several Letters We have also used much smaller type as

DALE Yesterday the new Public Library at Darlington which owes its origin and existence to the munificence of the late Mr Edward Pease of Green croft who bequeathed £10000 to be devoted to educational purposes in his native town was opened yesterday by Viscountess Lymington daughter of the testator in the presence of an immense assemblage DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING The building has been designed by Mr George Gordon Hoskins FRIBA of Darlington and carried out under his personal supervision The style of architecture is Renaissance of an admirable type The structural materials employed have been red pressed br cks from Grosmont near Whitby red stone partly from Dufton Quarries Westmoreland and partly from Newbiggin Quarry near Carlisle and pitcb pine timber The west elevation (Crown-street) as a frontage of about 103 feet and the north elevation (East street) of about 92 feet The main entrance is at the junction of these two elevations at the north-west angle and is made conspicuous by a handsome cable which cuts off and thus destroys the severity of a right angle this object being further attained by a well proportioned parch in the stone tympanum of which is some heraldic carving of a very chaste character representing the Borough arms with its motto Fioreat and the arms of the Pease familv with its motto Pax et On the keystone of the arch is displayed the head of Minerva the goddess of learning and above it her head is the owl with its right claw upon an open volume Entering by this porch we pass through swing doors glazed with stained glass in a handsome oval aimed vestibule and from thence to what be termed the public lobby which gives diect access to the various looms comprising the butidng The gene al effect here is very striking the large area of marble mosaic pavement in the centre of which st Is a white marble lU3t of the late donor on a black marble pedestal on which is cast a soft mellow and aleady lit from the large octagonal ceiling light filed in with painted glass The bn alluded to is the work of Mr Frank PriestmanDarlington and considering he is had to obtain the portraiture by the aid of photographs only he is to be highly congratulated on the result of his artistic labours An inscription on the pedestal reads as follows Public Library was erected out of the monies bequeathed for the purpose by the late Edward Pease E9q of Greencroft West in this town and of Bewdley in the county of Worcester for the convenience enjoyment and mental improvement of the burgesses and other inhabitants of this his native place The corner stone was laid on Wednesday 4th June 1881 The Library was opened to the public with 10500 volumes on Friday the 23rd day of October 1885 This bust was erected by voluntary Before leaving the lobby we must notice the large screen which divides the lobby from the lending library In the tympanum of this the whole of which is tilled in with painted a is a very beautiful group of three figures which is a tine conception of the architect and most satisfactorily carried out from his drawings by Mr Atkinson of Newcastle-on-Tyne The figures in this group are treated as statuary in the centre is a female figure illustrative of on her right is a male figure in whose right hand appears the old wool comb whilst his left arm rests upon three flute On the left the central figure is another male figure exhibiting a model of No 1 engine and holding in his right hand a pair of compasses These male figures are at once recognised as representing two early industries of Darlington They are beautifully posed and the central figure to which they are earnestly gazing is vey dignified and most artistically treated Passing through the swing doors in the screen we find ourselves in the Lending Library which measures about 57 feet by 26 feet This is admirably lighted from the roof which is partly open timbered The librarian's desk is immediately in front of the entrance and by an arrangement of glass panelled doors the librarian or his assistant is enabled to see every person who enters not only the lobby but those going into tie Reading Rooms and Reference Library Running south from one side of the librarians' desk to a length of 43 feet and from the other side of his desk running est for about 12 feet are the indicators for 24000 volumes which enables borrowers to ascertain at a glance without troubling the librarian whether or not the jobs they may require are or The remainder of the furniture in this room consists of specially designed bookcases etc capable of holding 32000 volumes These are arranged in capital order utilising the floor space to the greatest advantage In this apartment is hung a comprehensive map of Darlington which has been presented to the library by

Chartres, Cathédrale Notre Dame, Bay 46, 2, water seller by In Memoriam: Gordon Plumb

This window is devoted to the story of St Mary Magdalene, but the legendary version which was widely known in the Middle Ages. It arose from a sermon of St Gregory the Great preached on 21st September 591 on the passage Luke 7:36-50 in which Jesus is at dinner in a Pharisees' house when a sinful women comes in, anoints his feet with ointment and wipes them with her hair. Gregory identified this woman with Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha and Lazarus and also with Mary Magdalene from whom Jesus driven out seven devils. Thus Mary Magdalene became for the Middle Ages a symbol of penitence and also of the contemplative life (Mary of Bethany). The legend was further developed at Vezelay (which claimed to possess the relics of Mary Magdalene) to claim that Mary and a number of other of Christ's disciples were, as a result of persecution, set adrift in a rudderless boat and washed up in Provence at Marseilles where Maximin, one of their number, became bishop. Mary died, after years of living in penitential seclusion.

ROSARY SUNDAY - 110 by The Catholic Sun

35th annual Rosary Sunday draws thousands devoted to Mary, holy rosary

Story by Gina Keating

The Catholic Sun

In a kaleidoscope of colors, sound and movement, more than 6,000 faithful in the Phoenix Diocese gathered to honor Mary in the most anticipated Catholic event of the year, Rosary Sunday.

Under her title Mary, Help of Christians, the 35th annual celebration continued its traditional offerings of confession, adoration, benediction and recitation of the rosary.

The downtown Phoenix Convention Center opened its doors Oct. 10 to ethnically diverse members of the Body of Christ whose public prayers in different tongues paid homage to Mary, especially for her protection of the unborn.

Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted was greeted with a standing ovation from an enthusiastic crowd that filled the seats, as others searched for open spots.

“Today, we see how Mary is the mother of all of us,” Bishop Olmsted said in his bilingual address.

Auxilary Bishop Eduardo Nevares, recently back from a trip to Rome, delivered an apostolic blessing from Pope Benedict, which was received with a round of applause.

Christy O’Gara said she attended the event for the second year with her six children so they could “see all those that love Jesus.”

“Now, more than ever, we desire to be together as witnesses to the world,” O’Gara said.

One Day On Film #7 by VanDan Photography

7th Episode of the series "ONE DAY ON FILM".

This episode is devoted to Street Long Exposure Photography, a kind of Photography technique that I had never experimented.

This series of photography is inspired by the work of Alexey Titarenko: www.alexeytitarenko.com/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date-Place : 18/06/16 - 22/06/16 Paris, France (La Défense, Metros, Cimetière du Père-Lachaise).

Camera used: Nikon F3 HP with a 50 mm & 35mm lens.

Film : Ilford HP5+ (ISO 400 pulled to 200)

Developer : FOMADON R09 (Rodinal) with Stand Development processing

HOYA ND4 filter + Tripod

As you can see, some of my pictures are not as sharp as they shoud have been. I simply didn't have a shutter release cable.

Plus, in some of the pictures, the crowd seems to have disappeared.The reason is that I chose a too long shutter speed. So in order to avoid that, I suggest you to use a shutter speed around 4sec (2 minimum-10sec max) to capture the crowd. Of course it depends on many parameters (density of the crowd, speed at which they are moving, light condition, etc). Long Exposure Photography requires a lot of practice to master it.

The more you shoot, the more you learn, better the results are.

So keep shooting :)

And yeah, if you want to shoot in the Subway of Paris (or whatever subway on France), better ask an authorization if you don't want to be expelled, or avoid to stay in a same spot too long. Of course and it makes sens, avoid to impede the circulation especially if you are in a tight space and if you are using a big tripod.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The aim of this series is to share with you my early experience on film photography and see how I will progress through the episodes and give you some tips/Advices.

Fleet Air Arm Museum, 26th September 2018, RNAS Yeovilton, Ilchester, Somerset. BA22 8HT England. by G. Knowles

On the 26th September I finally visited this museum. After seeing it many years living in the south of England I had never been to visit it. Even though I was in the Royal Navy myself. The Fleet Air Arm Museum RNAS Yeovilton,Ilchester, Somerset. BA22 8HT is devoted to the history of British naval aviation. It has an extensive collection of military and civilian aircraft, aero engines, models of aircraft and Royal Navy ships ( including aircraft carriers ), and paintings and drawings related to naval aviation. It is located on RNAS Yeovilton airfield, and the museum has viewing areas where visitors can watch military aircraft ( especially the helicopters ) take off and land. It is located 7 miles ( 11 km ) north of Yeovil, and 40 miles ( 64 km ) south of Bristol. The cafe area was a bit like it was detached from the rest of the museum and I found staff there quite hard work, I went in at 03.00pm and they said they had no hot food they were closing in 15 minutes! Even though the opening time on the website said ~ Please note our Restaurant will open everyday unless otherwise stated, ( there were no signs otherwise ) 0930-1700 for the duration of our summer opening hours. The staff on reception in the Museum were great, helpful also. Sadly after waiting so long to visit this place I found it all a little tired and lacking interest in the place like Haynes International Motor Museum I went to last week.

The history of the Royal Navy is preserved for the benefit of today's and future generations by the National Museum of the Royal Navy ( NMRN ) which includes four museums of the Royal Navy ( NMRN ) Portsmouth & HMS Victory, Royal Navy Submarine Museum, Fleet Air Arm Museum and the Royal Marines Museum. Together they tell the story of the Royal Navy - on the Sea, under the Sea, in the Air and on the Land.

As much an attraction as it is a museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum is where Museum meets theatre. You’ll fly by helicopter to the replica flight deck of the aircraft carrier HMS ARK ROYAL where you‘ll see fighter aircraft and two enormous projection screens showing a Phantom interceptor fighter and a Buccaneer strike bomber. You’ll experience the thrills and sounds of a flight deck, and feel the wind in your hair so to speak and will even see a nuclear bomb! The Museum has the largest collection of Naval aircraft anywhere in Europe and the first British built Concorde which you can go on board and view the cockpit.

The Fleet Air Arm Museum offers a day out guaranteed to thrill the whole family. You’ll be up close and personal among Europe’s largest collection of Naval aircraft, plus you can step on board the first British Concorde and see the cockpit first hand. More than a museum, The Fleet Air Arm Museum is an exciting experience revealing the history of Naval aviation. Situated alongside Europe’s busiest military air station, you may even see military aircraft going through their training procedures.

Strong devoted loving heart

Trusting in me fully to do him no harm

Burnished copper coat glints in the sun

Like the love that shines in his eyes.... By Barbara, BlackGrouse's wife.

We had this dog for eleven glorious years. It's been about four years since he's been gone. He was known as the Boz, Bozzman, Bozzerama, Bud Dog. Have you ever heard of a Bayou dog? That's the kind of dog that has to be "by you" all the time. Boz was truly a "by you dog." When we first got him I put him in the back yard where my previous dog was content to stay. Boz would have none of that. He was little then and could wiggle out of places where my previous dog was too big to get through. First he was kept in the washroom, then the entry way, then the kitchen, then the whole house. He was a German shepherd-chow mix with a most pleasant reddish tint to his coat which was highlighted with a black cape that grew thick in the winter, and also a black muzzle and black highlighting his eyes, finishing with a black tipped tail, like it had been dipped in black ink.

I did take him to obedience training but he was still a little high strung. When people came to visit us he of course thought they had come to see him. He would just as soon set in the visitors lap if I did not put him on leash. He loved people, he loved my family, but he was devoted to my wife. We were camping on the Olympic Peninsula in our favorite camping place when Bosley passed away. He was sleeping at our feet in our tent, got up and stood by my wife's side and then collapsed. He loved to fetch sticks and was a very strong swimmer. He loved to ride in my truck where he sat in the seat next to me and would put his paw on my arm which meant that I needed to scratch his chest. I never had experienced grief until he died. When he died I was afraid that I would forget what it felt like to pet his back or rub his chest but even today I remember all of the things that I loved about this treasured dog.

"You think there will be no dogs in heaven? I tell you they will be there before any of us." Robert Louis Stevenson

These are my tenants; Little Joey and May. They are completely devoted to each other and are the very best tenants anyone could ask for.

Joey is about 4 years old and one of his recent relatives was a papillon. May is a little older and most her relatives live back east.

The Naprstek Museum in Prague is devoted to artifacts from indiginous peoples from pretty much everywhere except Europe. It was founded by and named after Vojtěch Náprstek, a rather amazing individual who you should totally go look up. In the mid-19th century, he moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and published a Czech newspaper, all the while studying and getting to know the rapidly disappearing native American peoples. The museum mostly consists of his extensive collection, and is housed in what used to be his mother's brewery/distillery/inn.
