One of the great things about this class is FOOD STUFF, as I explained to my wife after buying: All Natural Rustic Seeded Sourdough Bread, Nicasio Valley Loma Alta Cheese, and from Sonoma--Sheep Milk Yogurt, this was for my biology class and all in the name of knowledge and academic advancement. I don’t think she bought it. This of course is not stuff I normally buy but all of these products make for nice examples of “fermented foods.” We have enjoyed eating some of this week’s experiment as well but not so sure I will venture to taste the sheep milk yogurt.
So where do these great foods come from? It is an incredibly complex biological process that I will attempt to summarize, and hope not to mangle in too few words. This all starts for yogurt and cheese by fermenting milk with some forms of lactobacilli bacteria (starter cultures) that are widely used in food production. Also lactobacillus is used with yeast in the starter for sourdough breads. Then there is also the process of fermentation of yeast which of course is part of the bread leavening process.
The process of making cheese, yogurt, and sourdough bread involves the form of metabolism called bacterial fermentation. With yogurt and chesses lactose is converted to glucose then there is the reaction of glycolysis, of course beginning with the monosaccharide glucose. As stated in the lecture; “glucose is the substrate molecule for glycolysis,” leading to the production through phosphorylation, of ATP and further resulting in pyruvate. Through the different fermentation pathways the end products of pyruvate fermentation can result in producing lactic acid (bacteria) or ethanol and CO2 (yeast). I find it amazing that this complex process is all happening within the cell or rather millions of cells, not only giving us the very essence of life but some great tasting FOOD STUFF's along the way.
I am making a new meal at McDonald's with using Jif Peanut Butter and Polaner All-Fruit and I will call this new meal at McDonald's "McPeanut Butter and All-Fruit sandwiches" and I even designed the packaging by my self and the back shows Ronald McDonald explaining what this new sandwich is made and the sentence he is saying is "Made with delicious Jif Peanut Butter and Pollaner All-Fruit. DON'T DARE CALL IT JELLY!".
Lichtenstein meets Boccioni
'Wham!' (1963)
Roy Lichtenstein (1923-97).
Magna on Canvas.
'Whaam!' is based on an image from 'All American Men of War' published by DC comics in 1962. Throughout the 1960s, Lichtenstein frequently drew on commercial art sources such as comic images or advertisements, attracted by the way highly emotional subject matter could be depicted using detached techniques. Transferring this to a painting context, Lichtenstein could present powerfully charged scenes in an impersonal manner, leaving the viewer to decipher meanings for themselves. Although he was careful to retain the character of his source, Lichtenstein also explored the formal qualities of commercial imagery and techniques. In these works as in 'Whaam!', he adapted and developed the original composition to produce an intensely stylised painting.
Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913)
Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916)
Bronze sculpture, cast 1972
Boccioni's work was in plaster, never cast into bronze in his lifetime. This cast was made in 1972.
In the early years of the twentieth century, industrialisation swept across Italy. The Futurist movement was founded by writers and artists such as Umberto Boccioni, who enthused about new inventions such as cars and electricity. In Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, the figure is aerodynamically deformed by speed. Boccioni exaggerated the body''s dynamism so that it embodied the urge towards progress. The sculpture may reflect ideas of the mechanised body that appeared in Futurist writings, as well as the ''superman'' envisaged by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche

The United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough is supporting relief work in Beirut following the devastating explosion in the city on August 4. The massive blast in the city’s port area caused at least 180 deaths, 6,000 injuries and left an estimated 300,000 people homeless (at the time of writing).
Lebanon is part of the Diocese of Jerusalem which has been engaged in a partnership link with Dublin and Glendalough for almost five years. Dublin and Glendalough is sending €10,500 to All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Beirut via the Diocese of Jerusalem. Of this, €10,000 will support the work of the Anglican parish while €500 will assist Armenian Church families in the city.
The money had been earmarked in the Diocesan Council for Mission budget for the development and deepening of the inter-diocesan partnership. However, following the explosion the decision was made to give it directly to the parish in Beirut and the Armenian Church community.
All Saints’ Church is located about a mile from where the blast took place. Archbishop Michael Jackson has visited the parish. “I have visited the parish three times. I have conducted a seminar-sermon on the Five Marks of Mission for our Come&C project and book. I also met Armenian Christians who came to the service. The parish is deeply involved in humanitarian work and of course its own members will have their own needs in the current circumstances,” he said.
“All of us are aware of the fragility of human life, its survival and its integrity. My prayer is for all the people of Beirut that they will find comfort at this time and that human dignity and respect will flourish in a situation where peace is a virtue and grace is neighbourliness.
In Dublin & Glendalough we pray with our sisters and brothers in solidarity, in hope and in love,” he added.
The Rector of All Saints’ is the Ven Imad Zoorob, Archdeacon over Lebanon and Syria. The parish serves the Arabic and international communities and after the explosion he has assessed the status from the two resident congregations as well as damage to All Saints’ and the diocese’s complex at the Near Eastern School of Theology (NEST).
Describing the explosion as a “very traumatic experience” for the community of All Saints’ Church, Archdeacon Zoorob said that in addition to the economic strain members had suffered property damage including to doors, windows, furniture, cars and other household items. “We are thankful that the injuries are minimal and do pray for a speedy recovery,” he said.
There was some damage to the church from the blast. “The church building received considerable damage from shattered glass doors in the fellowship hall and also the upstairs vestry window was damaged. However, we are thankful that the sanctuary has remained intact. In fact, not a single window in the sanctuary was broken. We hope to meet there again soon, but that will depend on several factors, including COVID-19,” he explained.
The All Saints’ Church offices are at NEST which experienced damage to windows and doors. The clean up is well underway and Archdeacon Zoorob is working with the Diocese of Jerusalem to support the members of the church whose property has been damaged.
In a letter to the Archbishop of Dublin, Archbishop Suheil Dawani, Archbishop in Jerusalem, expressed his thanks for prayers and support. The diocese has already sent out an appeal to its partners and they are grateful for the positive response. “The recovery from this disaster will take many years, especially in light of the current pandemic and the already difficult economic situation in Beirut. Because of your prayers and the generous support of our many partners, All Saints’ will be able to serve as an outreach centre for a good number of those who have been heavily affected by the blast,” he said.
On Sunday January 10, 2016, the Epiphany Agreement was signed in St George’s Cathedral in Jerusalem by Archbishop Jackson and Archbishop Dawani. The agreement commits to developing a link relationship of equal partners between the Diocese of Jerusalem and the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough which is sustainable, practical, effective, mutually supportive and mutually enriching. The aim of the link is to strengthen mission in the church communities in both dioceses, to increase awareness between the dioceses of their solidarity in the cause of Christ, to respect and learn of and from each other’s cultural heritage and to enable the world to recognise more clearly God’s mission.
Few will be unaware of Broadway, since it's Edwardian rediscovery this picturesque Cotswold town has attracted visitors from all over the world. Broadway has fallen from the high wolds lying at the foot of the escarpment, the main street once climbed the lower slopes of Fish Hill slipping away as the ascent defied further building, Now a bypass takes the heavy traffic past Broadway, returning the upper part of the village to it's Victorian calm.
In common with several other Cotswold settlements Broadway began as a planned medieval town created by Pershore Abbey in the late 12th or early 13th centuries as a source of revenue. This may explain the position of the Norman church dedicated to St Eadburgha, which is a mile or so along the Snowshill road close to an older route over Fish Hill. The town prospered in the 17th and 18th centuries deriving a large portion of it's income from the wool and cloth trades and served as an important stopping place when coach travel blossomed, stimulated by the creation of turnpike roads. A medieval building the Abbot's Grange survives at the eastern end of the town.
As the old church was an inconvenient distance from the 17th century town, a chapel of ease was built near the marketplace in 1608, St Michael, this church was rebuilt in 1839. However, the wonderfully evocative Norman church St Eadburgha's is still used in the summer months. Eadburgha was a Saxon princess who as a child chose a bible over a bag of jewels, she was the daughter of Edward the Elder. A Saxon dedication suggests the presence of an earlier church on the site. St Eadburgha stands on the edge of Broadway perched above a wooded valley surrounded by fields. The elegant exterior gives the impression of a wealthy Perpendicular wool church but a soon as you step into the lofty nave a Norman structure is revealed. A three-bay pointed arcade with round piers betrays the buildings Norman origins, outside two west buttresses and the remains of an east buttress show the whole building to be c1200. The towers seems to have been built into the original nave preserving the piers of a fourth bay while the east responds were topped with battlements.The west and east tower arches are 14th century but the chancel arch retains imposts c1200. A vaulted roof spans the tower-crossing while the upper stages are Perpendicular as are the chancel windows although there is evidence of 13th century lancets. A Jacobean altar rail guards the communion table at the eat end of the chancel. The chancel has a trefoil headed piscina with continuous roll-moulding. A 13th century south transept has a south window of three stepped pointed-trefoiled lights, a piscina suggests the transept was used as an additional chapel. The nave roof sits on a wall plate with fleurons and one carved head. Above the chancel arch is a Royal Coat of Arms of Charles I dated to 1641.A Norman tub font has medieval encaustic tiles around it but inside the north door is the base of a 13th century hexagonal font with slender shafts. The church guide suggests the pulpit, that has Perpendicular panels, was once a travelling pulpit that would have been tied to the back of a horse. There are screens and benches in the choir which were constructed from medieval fragments. On the east wall is a brass to Anton Daston died 1571, this is a palimpsest, engraved on a Flemish brass plate, part of which is now in Westerham, Kent. There are fragments of medieval glass in many of the windows. A recent edition are beautiful oak pews made by Christopher Holmes of Rookery Farm, Broadway. The church has a peal of six bells including a Bagley bell of 1778.
Unfortunately the church has been a victim of several thefts, particularly a carved Flemish panel and the parish chest, these are illustrated on my Flckr site: www.flickr.com/photos/bwthornton/sets/72157633151004936, it would be wonderful if these pieces could be found and restored to their proper place.
This is a photograph from the East of Ireland Marathon Series Marathon which was held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 25th January 2014 at 09:00. There were 75 participants in the marathon which completed 8 loops of a 5KM route (and a additional 2KM) with Longwood GAA club acting as Race Headquarters, Start, Finish, and refreshments area. The weather turned particularly nasty for about an hour and the participants were lashed with gale-force winds, severe hailstones, and then rain. However this didn't stop everyone enjoying the day. Thanks to the folks at Longwood GAA who provided excellent hospitality and facilities for all participants. There was a great atmosphere at the race and everyone enjoyed another trip to the countryside for an EOIM.
Despite the weather there were a few PBs and fast inidividual times. The course is a nice fast flat 5KM loop. It is used every year as the Longwood GAA 5KM Road Race (see links below). The marathon loop followed the reverse of the race route for safety reasons as the roads were fully opened for the EOIM event. There is a total elevation gain of 20ft and an elevation loss of 23ft. The sources of elevation gain are only very small rises on the road and aren't really noticeable. Part of the route includes a kilometer on a boreen which is nicely sheltered and with good road surface. The road surface is excellent for the entire route. There were some puddles and mud on the boreen section of the route due to agricultural traffic.
Thanks must be extended to the Longwood GAA club and committee for the use of their fine facilities which allowed participants to have some refreshments afterwards and hot showers and changing rooms were also available.
This is the second East of Ireland Marathon Series race which has been held outside Dublin. The previous race which was held outside Dublin was held in Stapelstown, Co. Kildare in September 2013. (See links to pictures on Flickr from that race). Whilst Longwood is a rural venue it is easily accessible from all parts of Ireland due to it's close proximity to the N4 and the M4 Motorways.
We have an extensive set of photographs from today's event on the following Flickr Photoset Page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640099311556/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Roger Limb talked about writing music for The Box of Delights. He explained that Victor Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony had been used for the 1943 radio adaptation of the book and that it was to be used again as the theme for the 1984 TV adaptation; he accordingly complemented his electronic score with the harp and brass instruments used to play the Carol Symphony.
