57305 shunts Barrow Marine Terminal on 20 June 2018, in order to form 6X24, the 1220 Barrow Marine Terminal to Sellafield.
Forming extensive sheets on the trunks of Beech trees in Drumlanrig Castle Estate, Dumfries and Galloway.
The design of the Merewether Memorial employs the form of an Eleanor Cross and is in the English Medieval style. There are spires which could have served as a basis for the design of this memorial; for example, St. Mary at Bloxham, St. Peter at Kettering, St. Peter at Raunds and Meven St. Mary at Oxford. In fact, each one may have provided an ingredient or two for the design of this fine memorial tower.
Building designers of the time had become increasingly aware of the capabilities of Indian craftsmen, thus the skill and craftsmanship which has been available to medieval builders was also at Strachan's disposal. Strachan was no doubt aware of the intricate carving executed by native craftsmen for the baserellets designed by Kipling for the Crawford Markets and the then under construction Victoria Terminus. The Memorial shows a heightened sensitivity to detailing and an emphasis on carving and decoration, more then my other building designed by Strachan. Whereas the Empress Market's tower is a little squat, the Merewether Tower is elegant and tall, evoking memories of medieval England.
It was named for Merewether, who served as 'Commissioner-in-Sindh' from 1868 to 1877. Richard Burton, on his last visit to Karachi, paid a tribute to his friend while describing the Government House: " It is at present occupied by General Sir William L. Merewether, K.C.S.I. etc.etc.etc. an officer who, by entire devotion to the interests of his province, the scene of his distinguished career during the last thirty-three years, has made epoch' and history" (Burton 1877:1.76) Burton's opinion of Merewether's services were no doubt shared by others. Initially, a pier had been named in memory of the former 'Commissioner-in-Sindh'. Constructed by the Karachi Harbour Board, which had been formed in 1880, the Merewether Pier had cost three lakh rupees (1882). However, it was later decided that a worthy and visible memorial was in order - a memorial tower of such "prominence as to dominate the skyline of the city" to be built by public subscription. The Tower was placed at the confluence of McLeod and Bunder Road, at the extreme western end of the Serai Quarter, an area which was developed into a thriving commercial center concurrently with the rising fortunes of the city. The Memorial took eight years to complete, and was handed over to the Municipality in 1892 by 'Commissioner-in-Sindh' Evan James. The total cost of the structure and its clock was merely Rs. 37,178 compared to the Rs. 180,000 lavished on the much bigger memorial to Bartle Frere, Frere Hall.
The Memorial Tower stands on a platform 44 feet square and rises to a height of 102 feet. It prominently displays the clock placed at the base of the spire, 70 feet from the ground. Each of the clock's four faces is seven feet in diameter. The large bell installed at the time weighed three hundred weight and struck at every hour, while the smaller bells weighed one hundred weight each and marked every quarter of an hour.

(Clerigos Regulares Teatinos)
Rector Pbro: Ricardo Rodríguez Zamarrón
Pbro: Ramón García López Adscrito
Los teatinos o clérigos regulares (Ordo Clericorum Regularium, CR) es una orden religiosa masculina de la iglesia Católica, formada por sacerdotes. Fue fundada en Roma en 1524 por San Cayetano de Thiene, Juan Pedro Carafa, después papa Paulo IV, Bonifacio de Colle y Pablo Consiglieri, para restaurar entre los eclesiásticos la forma de vida apostólica, y promover la santidad del estado sacerdotal mediante la profesión de los tres votos religiosos.
Origen y fundación [editar]
En los días del Renacimiento, la necesidad de reforma en la Iglesia se iba haciendo cada vez más acuciante. El papa Julio II había reunido en 1512 el V Concilio de Letrán, con el deseo de promover una reforma de costumbres. Pero la legislación conciliar quedó en letra muerta a causa de la corrupción que contaminaba amplios sectores eclesiásticos.
El Oratorio del Amor Divino, fundado en 1516 en Roma por Cayetano sobre el modelo de los que ya funcionaban en Italia, apareció en la Ciudad Eterna como una institución compuesta por eclesiásticos y seglares, consagradas al servicio de Cristo y su Iglesia. Pronto comprendió Cayetano que la acción del Oratorio sería insuficiente para atajar los graves males de la Iglesia. Por otra parte, consideraba que el quicio de la reforma estaba en el clero, sumido en la codicia y frivolidad. Madurando, pues, una restauración a fondo del carácter del sacerdocio, concibió la idea de vivir en el estado eclesiástico la profesión de los tres votos religiosos, y a este fin decidió fundar una Congregación o Compañía de sacerdotes que llevaran vida común, bajo la obediencia a un Propósito y la dependencia inmediata de la Santa Sede. En el ambiente del Oratorio halló Cayetano sus primeros colaboradores. Entre ellos, la prestigiosa figura de Juan Pedro Carafa, obispo de Chieti (en latín Teate), antiguo nuncio en Inglaterra (1513) y vicecapellán mayor de Carlos V por el reino de Nápoles (1517). Seducido por los ideales de Cayetano, le suplicó que le admitiera en la nueva fundación. Carafa prestó a la orden su enorme erudición, su profunda experiencia curial y diplomática, y su dinamismo batallador en defensa de los intereses de la Iglesia. El nombre latino de su cargo episcopal, brindaría la denominación popular a la nueva orden.

Pese a la fuerte oposición de la Curia, Clemente VII aprobó la nueva Congregación por el Breve Exponi nobis el 24 de junio de 1524. Los cuatro fundadores tuvieron especial interés en celebrar una ceremonia fundacional sobre el sepulcro de San Pedro, escogiendo para ello la fiesta de la Exaltación de la Santa Cruz. Reunidos en la mañana del 14 de septiembre de ese año, en la capilla de San Andrés, en la Basílica Vaticana, asistieron a la Misa que celebró, como Legado especial de Clemente VII, Giovanni Battista Bonziano, obispo de Caserta y Prodatario del Papa. Después se trasladaron al altar papal. Sentado el obispo en su sede, el notario Esteban de Amanis dio lectura al Breve pontificio. Luego, cada uno de los fundadores, que en la víspera habían renunciado ante el mismo notario a todos sus bienes, pronunció a los pies del Comisario papal la fórmula de profesión religiosa, escrita en una cédula firmada que depositaron sobre el altar de San Pedro. Todos recibieron la sotana teatina de manos del Legado, el cual impartió su bendición a los fundadores, y les rogó que, a tenor del Breve papal, alejados un poco de la concurrencia, procedieran a la elección del prepósito. Ésta recayó en Juan Pedro Carafa, que desde aquel instante pasó a ser cabeza de la Comunidad.

Architecture in Vienna
Vienna's 2,000-year history is present in a unique density in the cityscape. The layout of the center dates back to the Roman city and medieval road network. Romanesque and Gothic churches characterize the streets and squares as well as palaces and mansions of the baroque city of residence. The ring road is an expression of the modern city of the 19th century, in the 20th century extensive housing developments set accents in the outer districts. Currently, large-scale urban development measures are implemented; distinctive buildings of international star architects complement the silhouette of the city.
Due to its function as residence of the emperor and European power center, Vienna for centuries stood in the focus of international attention, but it was well aware of that too. As a result, developed an outstanding building culture, and still today on a worldwide scale only a few cities can come up with a comparable density of high-quality architecture. For several years now, Vienna has increased its efforts to connect with its historical highlights and is drawing attention to itself with some spectacular new buildings. The fastest growing city in the German-speaking world today most of all in residential construction is setting standards. Constants of the Viennese architecture are respect for existing structures, the palpability of historical layers and the dialogue between old and new.
Culmination of medieval architecture: the Stephansdom
The oldest architectural landmark of the city is St. Stephen's Cathedral. Under the rule of the Habsburgs, defining the face of the city from the late 13th century until 1918 in a decisive way, the cathedral was upgraded into the sacral monument of the political ambitions of the ruling house. The 1433 completed, 137 meters high southern tower, by the Viennese people affectionately named "Steffl", is a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture in Europe. For decades he was the tallest stone structure in Europe, until today he is the undisputed center of the city.
The baroque residence
Vienna's ascension into the ranks of the great European capitals began in Baroque. Among the most important architects are Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. Outside the city walls arose a chain of summer palaces, including the garden Palais Schwarzenberg (1697-1704) as well as the Upper and Lower Belvedere of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1714-22). Among the most important city palaces are the Winter Palace of Prince Eugene (1695-1724, now a branch of the Belvedere) and the Palais Daun-Kinsky (auction house in Kinsky 1713-19). The emperor himself the Hofburg had complemented by buildings such as the Imperial Library (1722-26) and the Winter Riding School (1729-34). More important, however, for the Habsburgs was the foundation of churches and monasteries. Thus arose before the city walls Fischer von Erlach's Karlskirche (1714-39), which with its formal and thematic complex show façade belongs to the major works of European Baroque. In colored interior rooms like that of St. Peter's Church (1701-22), the contemporary efforts for the synthesis of architecture, painting and sculpture becomes visible.
Upgrading into metropolis: the ring road time (Ringstraßenzeit)
Since the Baroque, reflections on extension of the hopelessly overcrowed city were made, but only Emperor Franz Joseph ordered in 1857 the demolition of the fortifications and the connection of the inner city with the suburbs. 1865, the Ring Road was opened. It is as the most important boulevard of Europe an architectural and in terms of urban development achievement of the highest rank. The original building structure is almost completely preserved and thus conveys the authentic image of a metropolis of the 19th century. The public representational buildings speak, reflecting accurately the historicism, by their style: The Greek Antique forms of Theophil Hansen's Parliament (1871-83) stood for democracy, the Renaissance of the by Heinrich Ferstel built University (1873-84) for the flourishing of humanism, the Gothic of the Town Hall (1872-83) by Friedrich Schmidt for the medieval civic pride.
Dominating remained the buildings of the imperial family: Eduard van der Nüll's and August Sicardsburg's Opera House (1863-69), Gottfried Semper's and Carl Hasenauer's Burgtheater (1874-88), their Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History (1871-91) and the Neue (New) Hofburg (1881-1918 ). At the same time the ring road was the preferred residential area of mostly Jewish haute bourgeoisie. With luxurious palaces the families Ephrussi, Epstein or Todesco made it clear that they had taken over the cultural leadership role in Viennese society. In the framework of the World Exhibition of 1873, the new Vienna presented itself an international audience. At the ring road many hotels were opened, among them the Hotel Imperial and today's Palais Hansen Kempinski.
Laboratory of modernity: Vienna around 1900
Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06) was one of the last buildings in the Ring road area Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06), which with it façade, liberated of ornament, and only decorated with "functional" aluminum buttons and the glass banking hall now is one of the icons of modern architecture. Like no other stood Otto Wagner for the dawn into the 20th century: His Metropolitan Railway buildings made the public transport of the city a topic of architecture, the church of the Psychiatric hospital at Steinhofgründe (1904-07) is considered the first modern church.
With his consistent focus on the function of a building ("Something impractical can not be beautiful"), Wagner marked a whole generation of architects and made Vienna the laboratory of modernity: in addition to Joseph Maria Olbrich, the builder of the Secession (1897-98) and Josef Hoffmann, the architect of the at the western outskirts located Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904) and founder of the Vienna Workshop (Wiener Werkstätte, 1903) is mainly to mention Adolf Loos, with the Loos House at the square Michaelerplatz (1909-11) making architectural history. The extravagant marble cladding of the business zone stands in maximal contrast, derived from the building function, to the unadorned facade above, whereby its "nudity" became even more obvious - a provocation, as well as his culture-critical texts ("Ornament and Crime"), with which he had greatest impact on the architecture of the 20th century. Public contracts Loos remained denied. His major works therefore include villas, apartment facilities and premises as the still in original state preserved Tailor salon Knize at Graben (1910-13) and the restored Loos Bar (1908-09) near the Kärntner Straße (passageway Kärntner Durchgang).
Between the Wars: International Modern Age and social housing
After the collapse of the monarchy in 1918, Vienna became capital of the newly formed small country of Austria. In the heart of the city, the architects Theiss & Jaksch built 1931-32 the first skyscraper in Vienna as an exclusive residential address (Herrengasse - alley 6-8). To combat the housing shortage for the general population, the social democratic city government in a globally unique building program within a few years 60,000 apartments in hundreds of apartment buildings throughout the city area had built, including the famous Karl Marx-Hof by Karl Ehn (1925-30). An alternative to the multi-storey buildings with the 1932 opened International Werkbundsiedlung was presented, which was attended by 31 architects from Austria, Germany, France, Holland and the USA and showed models for affordable housing in greenfield areas. With buildings of Adolf Loos, André Lurçat, Richard Neutra, Gerrit Rietveld, the Werkbundsiedlung, which currently is being restored at great expense, is one of the most important documents of modern architecture in Austria.
Modernism was also expressed in significant Villa buildings: The House Beer (1929-31) by Josef Frank exemplifies the refined Wiener living culture of the interwar period, while the house Stonborough-Wittgenstein (1926-28, today Bulgarian Cultural Institute), built by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein together with the architect Paul Engelmann for his sister Margarete, by its aesthetic radicalism and mathematical rigor represents a special case within contemporary architecture.
Expulsion, war and reconstruction
After the "Anschluss (Annexation)" to the German Reich in 1938, numerous Jewish builders, architects (female and male ones), who had been largely responsible for the high level of Viennese architecture, have been expelled from Austria. During the Nazi era, Vienna remained largely unaffected by structural transformations, apart from the six flak towers built for air defense of Friedrich Tamms (1942-45), made of solid reinforced concrete which today are present as memorials in the cityscape.
The years after the end of World War II were characterized by the reconstruction of the by bombs heavily damaged city. The architecture of those times was marked by aesthetic pragmatism, but also by the attempt to connect with the period before 1938 and pick up on current international trends. Among the most important buildings of the 1950s are Roland Rainer's City Hall (1952-58), the by Oswald Haerdtl erected Wien Museum at Karlsplatz (1954-59) and the 21er Haus of Karl Schwanzer (1958-62).
The youngsters come
Since the 1960s, a young generation was looking for alternatives to the moderate modernism of the reconstruction years. With visionary designs, conceptual, experimental and above all temporary architectures, interventions and installations, Raimund Abraham, Günther Domenig, Eilfried Huth, Hans Hollein, Walter Pichler and the groups Coop Himmelb(l)au, Haus-Rucker-Co and Missing Link rapidly got international attention. Although for the time being it was more designed than built, was the influence on the postmodern and deconstructivist trends of the 1970s and 1980s also outside Austria great. Hollein's futuristic "Retti" candle shop at Charcoal Market/Kohlmarkt (1964-65) and Domenig's biomorphic building of the Central Savings Bank in Favoriten (10th district of Vienna - 1975-79) are among the earliest examples, later Hollein's Haas-Haus (1985-90), the loft conversion Falkestraße (1987/88) by Coop Himmelb(l)au or Domenig's T Center (2002-04) were added. Especially Domenig, Hollein, Coop Himmelb(l)au and the architects Ortner & Ortner (ancient members of Haus-Rucker-Co) by orders from abroad the new Austrian and Viennese architecture made a fixed international concept.
MuseumQuarter and Gasometer
Since the 1980s, the focus of building in Vienna lies on the compaction of the historic urban fabric that now as urban habitat of high quality no longer is put in question. Among the internationally best known projects is the by Ortner & Ortner planned MuseumsQuartier in the former imperial stables (competition 1987, 1998-2001), which with institutions such as the MUMOK - Museum of Modern Art Foundation Ludwig, the Leopold Museum, the Kunsthalle Wien, the Architecture Center Vienna and the Zoom Children's Museum on a wordwide scale is under the largest cultural complexes. After controversies in the planning phase, here an architectural compromise between old and new has been achieved at the end, whose success as an urban stage with four million visitors (2012) is overwhelming.
The dialogue between old and new, which has to stand on the agenda of building culture of a city that is so strongly influenced by history, also features the reconstruction of the Gasometer in Simmering by Coop Himmelb(l)au, Wilhelm Holzbauer, Jean Nouvel and Manfred Wehdorn (1999-2001). Here was not only created new housing, but also a historical industrial monument reinterpreted into a signal in the urban development area.
New Neighborhood
In recent years, the major railway stations and their surroundings moved into the focus of planning. Here not only necessary infrastructural measures were taken, but at the same time opened up spacious inner-city residential areas and business districts. Among the prestigious projects are included the construction of the new Vienna Central Station, started in 2010 with the surrounding office towers of the Quartier Belvedere and the residential and school buildings of the Midsummer quarter (Sonnwendviertel). Europe's largest wooden tower invites here for a spectacular view to the construction site and the entire city. On the site of the former North Station are currently being built 10,000 homes and 20,000 jobs, on that of the Aspangbahn station is being built at Europe's greatest Passive House settlement "Euro Gate", the area of the North Western Railway Station is expected to be developed from 2020 for living and working. The largest currently under construction residential project but can be found in the north-eastern outskirts, where in Seaside Town Aspern till 2028 living and working space for 40,000 people will be created.
In one of the "green lungs" of Vienna, the Prater, 2013, the WU campus was opened for the largest University of Economics of Europe. Around the central square spectacular buildings of an international architect team from Great Britain, Japan, Spain and Austria are gathered that seem to lead a sometimes very loud conversation about the status quo of contemporary architecture (Hitoshi Abe, BUSarchitektur, Peter Cook, Zaha Hadid, NO MAD Arquitectos, Carme Pinós).
Flying high
International is also the number of architects who have inscribed themselves in the last few years with high-rise buildings in the skyline of Vienna and make St. Stephen's a not always unproblematic competition. Visible from afar is Massimiliano Fuksas' 138 and 127 meters high elegant Twin Tower at Wienerberg (1999-2001). The monolithic, 75-meter-high tower of the Hotel Sofitel at the Danube Canal by Jean Nouvel (2007-10), on the other hand, reacts to the particular urban situation and stages in its top floor new perspectives to the historical center on the other side.
Also at the water stands Dominique Perrault's DC Tower (2010-13) in the Danube City - those high-rise city, in which since the start of construction in 1996, the expansion of the city north of the Danube is condensed symbolically. Even in this environment, the slim and at the same time striking vertically folded tower of Perrault is beyond all known dimensions; from its Sky Bar, from spring 2014 on you are able to enjoy the highest view of Vienna. With 250 meters, the tower is the tallest building of Austria and almost twice as high as the St. Stephen's Cathedral. Vienna, thus, has acquired a new architectural landmark which cannot be overlooked - whether it also has the potential to become a landmark of the new Vienna, only time will tell. The architectural history of Vienna, where European history is presence and new buildings enter into an exciting and not always conflict-free dialogue with a great and outstanding architectural heritage, in any case has yet to offer exciting chapters.

The Beginning:
In the year 1920, immediately after the first World War, there was a great influx into Masonry and a group of Masons from the Willys Overland plant (a pioneer and manufacturer of the Jeep 4 wheel drive vehicle) situated in West Toronto, feeling there was a need for a new Lodge in this area, formed themselves into a committee for that purpose.
This group was headed up by W. Bro. W.L. Abernathy of Stanley Lodge # 426, Toronto and ably assisted by W. Bro. W.L. Clark and Bro. J.G. Bruce, both of Victoria Lodge, Toronto.
Having fulfilled all the necessary requirements, the Institutional Meeting of King Hiram Lodge, U.D., G.R.C., was held in the Annette Street Temple on April 29th, 1920.
After the dispensation, the Most Worshipful,The Grand Master, M.W. Bro. F.W. Harcourt authorized W. Bro. W.L. Abernathy and Charter Members to meet as a Lodge to be known as “King Hiram”.
On the 15th day of November, 1920, the Lodge was duly instituted and consecrated. W. Bro. W.L. Abernathy was installed in the Chair of King Solomon and the Officers were invested to their several stations in King Hiram Lodge #566, on the register of Grand Lodge.
The name “King Hiram” was selected as being the most suitable to fulfill the hopes of the petitioners which was to build a strong Lodge appropriately named after King Hiram Abif the chief architect and overseer of the building of King Solomon’s Temple.
It was resolved that the Initiation Fee be set at $ 75.00, the Affiliation Fee at $15.00 and the Annual Dues at $6.00. The Tyler’s salary was set at $100.00 per year.
The Worshipful Master appointed a Visiting the Sick Committee, a Musical and an Entertainment Committee. A committee to set up the by-laws, a committee to arrange for a Ladie’s Night and a committee to arrange for and provide Christmas Entertainment.
The first candidate to be initiated was Mr. John Rutherford on June 4th, 1920.
The Work for the year consisted of 42 – E.A. Degrees, 32 – F.C. Degrees and 19 – M.M. Degrees.
The Twenties:
The first King Hiram Ladie’s Night was held in the form of a reception in the banquet room. An honorarium was established to pay the Secretary $150.00 per year for his services. A special emergent meeting was held on Saturday, February 8th, 1922 to conduct 15 Master Mason Degrees which beat the previous record by one Degree. The Worshipful Master and brethren attended at the laying of the foundation stone at the Weston Masonic Temple. On March 19th, 1924, W.M. B.H. Capsey had the pleasure of initiating his son, Vincent Bertram Capsey into the First Degree of Masonry. It was adopted that the Lodge present to each candidate the Volume of the Sacred Law on which his obligation was sealed. An annual picnic was held at High Park. A committee was appointed to request the Temple Board to install a pipe organ in the Lodge Room and a piano in the Banquet Hall. King Hiram visited Niagara River Lodge in Niagara Falls, New York and on a return visit the Worshipful Master of Niagara River Lodge presented our Lodge with a gavel which had been made from a piece of oak from the Old Fort Niagara.
The Thirties:
A new Lodge was instituted in the Annette Street Temple, named Memorial Lodge, in which many of the members of King Hiram were involved. W. Bro. Gordon James is installed as Worshipful Master being the first Master of King Hiram who was initiated into the Lodge, all others being Charter Members. Grand Lodge institutes an “Unemployment Bureau” under the Masonic Board of Relief due to the economic circumstances. In May 1935, we celebrated our 15th Anniversary. The creation of a Members Night was established and the ruling Master and W. Bro. Gately of Memorial Lodge conducted the Ceremony. In 1936, Ladies Night was postponed due to the death of King George V and the Grand Master requested a three month mourning period be observed. In 1938, with deep regret we recorded the death of W. Bro. W.L. Abernathy one of the founders and the first Master of King Hiram Lodge.
The Forties:
It was resolved that the dues of all members enlisting in the Armed Forces be waived.
To support the war effort, Grand Lodge inaugurated a Fund for War Relief to be contributed to by members at large through the various Lodges. King Hiram purchased 3 $100.00 Victory Bonds and a further purchase in the amount of $350.00. Past Master, W. Bro. Fred Adams was honoured by the King as a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for his work in the supply of munitions. It was decided to send Christmas gifts to our members in the Forces. Bro. S.D. Shaw is installed in the Chair of King Solomon and initiates his son, Duncan Shaw and W.A. Bruce son of Bro. J.G. Bruce, the first Secretary of our Lodge. In 1945, we celebrated our 25th Anniversary. Our Grand Master requests us to hold a Thanksgiving Service for our victory in Germany. Bro. R.F. Wright is installed in the Chair of King Solomon. November 1st, becomes known as “Charlie Tottle” Night due to his reaching his 80th birthday and also for his long service to the Lodge. Bro. C.V. Tottle was elected Secretary in 1926 and served until his death in 1950. Bro. Wm. McBurnie returns to Lodge after serving 7 years overseas in the Armed Forces. W. Bro. Wm. Gow is appointed Grand Steward. Installation Night changes from January to December due to the continual bad weather conditions in January. It was approved that the Tyler’s pay be $2.50 per meeting.
The Fifties:

The intervening years between 1920 and 2005 have been momentous years of change in the History of the World.
Consider the Twenties, an era of building following World War I. The Depression of the Thirties. The conflict and hardship encountered due to World War II. The united efforts of rebuilding throughout the Forties and Fifties. The social changes and struggles throughout the Sixties and Seventies. The boom of the Eighties, the recession of the Nineties and the dreams and expectations of a new Millennium.
The years have also seen many changes in King Hiram Lodge. We have witnessed and shared in the lives of many of the Men who have been instrumental in the creation of and continuation of our Lodge.
Throughout the years the spirit of Masonry has always been kept alive and we have at all times remembered the wishes of our Founders, to uphold the basic principles on which the Lodge was established, “to keep this a friendly Lodge and to show true Brotherhood to All”. Our strength in the past has been in the dedication, loyalty and respect, for our Lodge by the many men who have affixed their signatures to our By-Laws.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
footprints on the sands of time

Lithic breccia from the Quaternary of Ohio, USA.
Sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of loose sediments. Loose sediments become hard rocks by the processes of deposition, burial, compaction, dewatering, and cementation.
There are three categories of sedimentary rocks:
1) Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments produced by weathering & erosion of any previously existing rocks.
2) Biogenic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments that were once-living organisms (plants, animals, micro-organisms).
3) Chemical sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments formed by inorganic chemical reactions. Most sedimentary rocks have a clastic texture, but some are crystalline.
Breccia is an uncommon, coarse-grained, siliciclastic sedimentary rock. Breccias form in many ways (sedimentary breccias, volcanic breccias, tectonic breccias/fault breccias, collapse breccias, boiling breccias, hydrothermal breccias, xenolith breccias, seismite breccias, injectite breccias, etc.), but they all have the same general appearance. Sedimentary breccias contain a mix of large & small grains. The large grains (gravel - pebbles or cobbles or boulders) are angular to subangular in shape, and they are surrounded by a finer-grained matrix, usually sand or mud.
The juvenile breccia shown above is principally composed of clasts eroded from Illinoian-aged glacial till (= Middle Pleistocene). The blackish-colored rock is flint (= chert). The clasts have become cemented without subsequent significant burial.
Age: Late Pleistocene or Holocene
Locality: Taft Reserve, western Flint Ridge, southeastern Licking County, east-central Ohio, USA
The Beginning:
In the year 1920, immediately after the first World War, there was a great influx into Masonry and a group of Masons from the Willys Overland plant (a pioneer and manufacturer of the Jeep 4 wheel drive vehicle) situated in West Toronto, feeling there was a need for a new Lodge in this area, formed themselves into a committee for that purpose.
This group was headed up by W. Bro. W.L. Abernathy of Stanley Lodge # 426, Toronto and ably assisted by W. Bro. W.L. Clark and Bro. J.G. Bruce, both of Victoria Lodge, Toronto.
Having fulfilled all the necessary requirements, the Institutional Meeting of King Hiram Lodge, U.D., G.R.C., was held in the Annette Street Temple on April 29th, 1920.
After the dispensation, the Most Worshipful,The Grand Master, M.W. Bro. F.W. Harcourt authorized W. Bro. W.L. Abernathy and Charter Members to meet as a Lodge to be known as “King Hiram”.
On the 15th day of November, 1920, the Lodge was duly instituted and consecrated. W. Bro. W.L. Abernathy was installed in the Chair of King Solomon and the Officers were invested to their several stations in King Hiram Lodge #566, on the register of Grand Lodge.
The name “King Hiram” was selected as being the most suitable to fulfill the hopes of the petitioners which was to build a strong Lodge appropriately named after King Hiram Abif the chief architect and overseer of the building of King Solomon’s Temple.
It was resolved that the Initiation Fee be set at $ 75.00, the Affiliation Fee at $15.00 and the Annual Dues at $6.00. The Tyler’s salary was set at $100.00 per year.
The Worshipful Master appointed a Visiting the Sick Committee, a Musical and an Entertainment Committee. A committee to set up the by-laws, a committee to arrange for a Ladie’s Night and a committee to arrange for and provide Christmas Entertainment.
The first candidate to be initiated was Mr. John Rutherford on June 4th, 1920.
The Work for the year consisted of 42 – E.A. Degrees, 32 – F.C. Degrees and 19 – M.M. Degrees.
The Twenties:
The first King Hiram Ladie’s Night was held in the form of a reception in the banquet room. An honorarium was established to pay the Secretary $150.00 per year for his services. A special emergent meeting was held on Saturday, February 8th, 1922 to conduct 15 Master Mason Degrees which beat the previous record by one Degree. The Worshipful Master and brethren attended at the laying of the foundation stone at the Weston Masonic Temple. On March 19th, 1924, W.M. B.H. Capsey had the pleasure of initiating his son, Vincent Bertram Capsey into the First Degree of Masonry. It was adopted that the Lodge present to each candidate the Volume of the Sacred Law on which his obligation was sealed. An annual picnic was held at High Park. A committee was appointed to request the Temple Board to install a pipe organ in the Lodge Room and a piano in the Banquet Hall. King Hiram visited Niagara River Lodge in Niagara Falls, New York and on a return visit the Worshipful Master of Niagara River Lodge presented our Lodge with a gavel which had been made from a piece of oak from the Old Fort Niagara.

In 1936, Ladies Night was postponed due to the death of King George V and the Grand Master requested a three month mourning period be observed. In 1938, with deep regret we recorded the death of W.

Protesters March in Show of Strength Against Government
Associated Press - October 22, 2020
Student-led protesters in Thailand defiantly marched to the streets near the prime minister’s office on Wednesday night, repeating their demand that he step down even as he urged them to let Parliament deal with their calls for democratic reforms.
The demonstrators pushed through lines of police who, though equipped with riot gear and standing behind portable metal barriers and barbed wire, did not put up a serious fight. Police had pushed the protesters out of the same area just a week earlier.
Protesters handed government representatives what they said was a resignation form for Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha to sign, and also demanded freedom for their comrades arrested in connection with earlier protests.

If their demands were not met, they said, they would return in three days. They then dispersed peacefully.
The protesters’ long-term demands also include a more democratic constitution and reforms to the monarchy. The implicit criticism of the royal institution has stirred controversy because it traditionally has been treated as sacrosanct and a pillar of national identity.
In a speech televised Wednesday evening, Prayuth offered a concession to protesters, saying he would promptly lift the state of emergency he declared in Bangkok last week “if there are no violent incidents.” Withdrawing the emergency decree has been another of the protesters’ demands.
The state of emergency was declared to allow police to break up the group’s gathering outside the prime minister’s office last Thursday before dawn.
Earlier Wednesday, a group of university students went to a Bangkok court to seek to have the emergency decree revoked on the grounds that it abridged freedom of assembly. The court is expected to rule later this week.
Prayuth, in his speech broadcast at about the same time the protesters marched, pleaded with his countrymen to resolve their political differences through Parliament.
“The only way to a lasting solution for all sides that is fair for those on the streets as well as for the many millions who choose not to go on the streets is to discuss and resolve these differences through the parliamentary process,” he said, according to an official English-language text of his remarks.
The government on Tuesday approved a request to recall Parliament for a special session on Oct. 26-27 to deal with the political pressures from the protests.
Wednesday marked the eighth straight day of demonstrations by a movement that was launched in March. It went into a lull as Thailand dealt with a coronavirus outbreak, and slowly revived in July. In the past week especially, protest have spread to other provinces.
In his television appearance, Prayuth charged that some protesters had staged “brutal attacks” against police at a rally last Friday, but acknowledged that many others, “while they may be breaking the law, were still peaceful, well-meaning people who are genuine in their desire for a better society and a better nation.”
He decried the violence, but also said that the use of water cannons by the police, who used the tactic to break up Friday’s rally, was not a way “to get to a better society.” The police’s use of force was widely criticized, and garnered more support for the protesters, who generally use nonviolent tactics.
“While I can listen to and acknowledge the demands of protesters, I cannot run the country based on protester or mob demands,” Prayuth said.

He ended his remarks with a plea: “Let us respect the law and parliamentary democracy, and let our views be presented through our representatives in Parliament.”
The protesters charge that Prayuth, who as then-army commander led a 2014 coup, was returned to power unfairly in last year’s general election because laws had been changed to favor a pro-military party. The protesters also say that a constitution written and passed under military rule is undemocratic.
The demonstrations have continued even though many top protest leaders have been detained and the state of emergency bans public gatherings of more than four people.

On most days, police have not confronted the protesters directly, instead trying to disrupt their gatherings with shutdowns of Bangkok’s mass transit systems and by seeking to block their online organizing activities.
Royalists, meanwhile, have stepped up their presence online and held a small rally Wednesday in Bangkok, with clashes breaking out between anti-government protesters and supporters of the monarchy.
There were bigger royalist rallies in several other provinces, the first major turnouts by crowds that are easily distinguished by the yellow shirts they wear that represent the royal color. In many cases, these rallies were led by local officials and also served to mark devotion to the royal family on the anniversary of the birth of King Maha Vajiralongkorn’s late grandmother.
The authorities on Wednesday suffered a legal setback when a judge barred them from implementing banning orders on several media outlets because they failed to follow proper procedures.
Police had announced Monday that they were seeking to impose censorship on media reporting of the protests, citing what they called “distorted information” that could cause unrest and confusion in society.
They sought to block access to the online sites of four Thai news organizations and one activist group that broadcast live coverage of the protests. They had also proposed a ban on over-the-air digital television coverage of one of the broadcasters, Voice TV.
A fresh arrest was made Wednesday morning in connection with last week’s protests. Suranart Panprasert was the third person to be accused of involvement with acts of harm against the queen when her motorcade passed a small crowd of demonstrators. Depending upon exactly what he is charged with by a court, he could face a life sentence if convicted.
The incident did not involve any violence, according to witnesses and video footage, but a small group of people made the protesters’ three-finger protest gesture and shouted slogans at the car carrying Queen Suthida, shocking many Thais.
Sui versanti più rocciosi e esposti ai venti marini la vegetazione si riduce ulteriormente lasciando il posto alla gariga, un’associazione di bassi cespugli ed erbe tra cui rosmarino, pungitopo, salvia, santoreggia, ruta, elicriso.
Le numerose forre che solcano il paesaggio della Costiera Amalfitana offrono sorprese veramente straordinarie. Formate da antiche faglie e profondamente erose dagli agenti atmosferici queste valli strette e ricche d’acqua si presentano ombrose e umide con una vegetazione sorprendentemente rigogliosa. Risalire, da Amalfi, la Valle dei Mulini e poi inoltrarsi nella Valle delle Ferriere, sembra far scoprire, per un singolare fenomeno di inversione climatica, un angolo di tropico, un habitat tipico di aree temperate ad altitudini maggiori. È il regno della Woodwardia Radicans, esempio raro di flora preglaciale, ormai tipica solo delle aree tropicali del sud-est asiatico, con cui convive la Parnassia Palustris dai fiori bianchi, l’Arisarum Proboscideum dal fiore simile all’orchidea, la Pesasites Hibridus e, qua e là, la piccola carnivora Pinguicola Hirtiflora, con le sue foglie vischiose, che tende trappole mortali ai piccoli insetti.

On rocky slopes most exposed to sea winds and the vegetation is further reduced, giving way to scrubland, an association of low shrubs and herbs such as rosemary, holly, sage, savory, rue, everlasting.
The numerous canyons that crisscross the landscape of the Amalfi Coast offer surprises really extraordinary. Formed by ancient faults and deeply eroded by weathering these narrow valleys and rich water appear shady and humid with a surprisingly lush vegetation. Climb from Amalfi, Valley Mills and then advancing in the Valle delle Ferriere, seems to discover a singular phenomenon of climate reversal, a corner of the tropics, a typical habitat of temperate regions at higher altitudes. It is the realm of Woodwardia radicans, a rare example of pre-glacial flora, now only typical of tropical areas of Southeast Asia, which coexists with the Parnassia palustris white flowers, the orchid flower similar Arisarum Proboscideum from the Pesasites Hibridus and Here and there, the small carnivorous Pinguicola hirtiflora, with its sticky leaves, which tends deadly trap for small insects.

while playing in rock bands around Copenhagen. Even though the KoxBox evolution has
taken many twists and turns, one thing stayed constant: the music is of unimaginable
quality and they can surely be called legends in our scene. We are very excited to
host one of the only artists that have constantely elevated their music to be on top

Iglesia del Sagrario (Sevilla)
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iglesia_del_Sagrario_(Sevilla)
La Iglesia del Sagrario de Sevilla, es un templo religioso de estilo barroco y culto católico romano que se encuentra ubicado en la Avenida de la Constitución y esta integrado en la gran manzana formada por la Catedral de Sevilla, cuyos servicios parroquiales administra, el Patio de los Naranjos y otras edificaciones anexas.
Historia
La construcción se inició en 1618, según trazas del entonces Maestro Mayor de la Catedral de Sevilla, Miguel de Zumarraga, el cual dirigió las obras hasta su muerte ocurrida en 1630. Los trabajos continuaron bajo la dirección de su colaborador directo Fernando de Oviedo, para ser por fin finalizada por Lorenzo Fernández Iglesias en junio de 1662. También participaron en el diseño los arquitectos Alonso de Vandelvira y Cristóbal de Rojas.
El lugar escogido fue la entonces llamada nave de Nuestra Señora de la Granada en el ala oeste del actual Patio de los Naranjos, por lo que fue preciso para comenzar las obras, derribar los restos que allí existían de la antigua Mezquita Mayor y diferentes capillas cristianas, así como la portada plateresca del Sagrario viejo realizada en mármol blanco.
Arquitectura
La estructura de la iglesia parte de una planta de cruz latina, el crucero esta cubierto por una bóveda con linterna. Posee cuatro puertas, dos en el muro derecho que se abren al patio de los naranjos, una a los pies por la que se accede a la catedral y la cuarta que sirve de entrada habitual a los fieles y comunica con la Avenida de la Constitución.
El exterior del edificio es de gran sobriedad, la fachada se divide en tres cuerpos superpuestos con escasa ornamentación, los dos inferiores tienes ventanas simuladas.
El interior en cambio tiene una rica decoración, las cúpulas poseen una gran profusión de relieves que fueron realizados por Pedro de Borja en compañía de sus hermanos Pablo y Felipe.
Contenido artístico
Retablo Mayor
El retablo mayor (1665-1669) es obra de Francisco Dionisio de Ribas que realizó la estructura y Pedro Roldán autor de las tallas. Procede de una antigua capilla ya desaparecida conocida como Capilla de los Vizcaínos de donde fue trasladado en 1840 al lugar que ahora ocupa. Destaca la escena central del Descendimiento que esta considerada una de las obras cumbre dePedro Roldán.
Retablos de los brazos del crucero
A los dos lados del crucero, se sitúan sendos retablos construidos en el siglo XVII con mármoles de diferentes colores, ambos poseen esculturas de Cayetano de Acosta.
El de la izquierda esta presidido por un Cristo Crucificado de Manuel Pereira con una inmaculada a sus pies, esculturas de gran mérito, mientras que el de la derecha lo esta por La Virgen del Rosario también de Cayetano de Acosta.
Capillas del lado derecho
·Capilla de Santa Bárbara. Sobre retablo fechado alrededor de 1680, podemos contemplar la santa titular flanqueada por Santa Elena y Santa Teresa. En el ático un relieve de Santa Ana con la Virgen.
·Capilla de la Inmaculada. La imagen de la Inmaculada que preside esta capilla es de principios del XVIII y se encuentra en un retablo atribuido a Juan de Valencia. Junto a ella se suele colocar también el bellísimo Niño Jesús esculpido por Martínez Montañés en 1606 que pertenece a la Hermandad Sacramental.
·Capilla de San Antonio. El retablo fue realizado alrededor de 1680 por Bernardo Simón de Pineda, posee una escultura de San Antonio en el centro y otra de San Miguel Arcángel en el ático. Sobre el altar un crucificado de marfil del siglo XVIII.

Capillas del lado izquierdo
·Capilla de las Santas Justa y Rufina. Está presidido por una imagen del Sagrado Corazón que procede de la catedral. Sobre un retablo de Luis de Vilches realizado en 1736 podemos ver además de las santas titulares, diversas tallas, como una Virgen con el Niño del siglo XVI, probable copia de la Virgen de la Antigua.
·Capilla de San José. Sobre un retablo barroco tallado entre 1694 y 1698, se encuentra la figura central de San José atribuida a Pedro Roldán.
·Capilla de San Millán. Este retablo del siglo XVIII, está presidido por San Millán, contiene otras imágenes, como Santa Catalina, San Roque, Santa Gertrudis y La Inmaculada.
·Capilla del Cristo de la Corona. El Cristo de la Corona y Cruz a Cuestas es una obra anónima de finales del siglo XVI titular de la hermandad del mismo nombre que tiene su sede en esta iglesia.
Escultura
Sobre las tribunas que existen en la parte alta de los muros laterales, pueden contemplarse ocho colosales estatuas, cuatro corresponden a Padres de la Iglesia y las demás a los evangelistas. Fueron realizadas por el escultor de origen flamenco José de Arcea partir de 1657.
Pintura
Alrededor de 1690, el pintor Matías de Arteaga que era miembro de la Hermandad Sacramental de esta iglesia, pintó una serie de 9 obras sobre temas bíblicos relacionados con la eucaristía. La hermandad aun conserva estas pinturas que forman parte de su patrimonio.
·Abraham y Melchisedec. El sacerdote Melchisedec, presenta el sacrificio del pan y del vino a Abraham.
·El racimo de la Tierra de Promisión. Moisés envía a explorar la tierra de Canán. Los exploradores vuelven con racimos de uvas.

·La parábola de los invitados a la boda. El rey, que simboliza a Dios, quiere llenar su mesa de invitados. A todos llama, pero no todos acuden. Algunos no se presentan adecuadamente. En el centro de la escena se produce la expulsión del invitado indigno
·La adoración del Cordero Místico. Veinticuatro ancianos adoran el trono en el que el Cordero Místico se muestra esplendoroso rodeado de ángeles.
Hermandades
Aunque en la jurisdicción parroquial tienen sede otras hermandades y asociaciones piadosas, son tres las que están establecidas en la propia iglesia parroquial:
·Archicofradía Sacramental. Su fundación se remonta al siglo XVI y continua activa. En el domingo in albis realiza una procesión que tiene por objeto administrar la eucaristía a las personas impedidas que viven en la feligresía. La comitiva se inicia con un grupo de niños que son conocidos como niños carráncanos, los cuales portan cirios rojos y van vestidos con una indumentaria especial que data del siglo XVIII.1
·Hermandad de la Corona y Nuestra Señora del Rosario. Aunque de antiguo origen, ha sido recientemente reorganizada.
·Heraldos del Evangelio.

Photograph of a Hydro-Tel lathe manufactured by The Cincinati Milling Machine Co. of Ohio. Part of a collection of photographs from Dean Smith and Grace Ltd. Photographic Department. This photograph carries nothing on the back of it.
Three Keighley engineers, Joseph Dean (1824-1909), James Smith (1834-1906) and John Grace (1840-1904), formed the partnership Dean, Smith & Grace in 1865. The men borrowed money to buy land from the Duke of Devonshire and built the Worth Valley Works. According to their 1889 catalogue, they manufactured machine tools “for locomotive, marine and general engineering, ordnance manufacturers, boilermakers, shipbuilders etc. etc.” and had already procured various government contracts. By 1883 their debts had been cleared and in 1898 the partnership became a limited company.
In the early years of the 20th century, some rebuilding and restructuring took place and the company started to specialise in the manufacture of industrial lathes. Their reach was global, doing trade deals with Australia, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Spain, Mexico and Argentina.
At the outbreak of World War One, now trading as Dean, Smith & Grace (1908) Ltd., the firm’s efforts were recognised in a letter from Lord Kitchener. The letter, dated 22nd October 1914, acknowledged the importance of the work undertaken by the firm and its employees in playing their part towards the war effort. During this period the company also manufactured breech blocks for guns. From 1938, the firm was run by Sir Harry Smith, James Pearson and Bert Laycock.
During World War Two, Dean, Smith & Grace financed their own Spitfire as part of a nationwide drive to raise money for fighter planes. They produced lathes for all branches of the armed forces, the government’s Ministry of Supply and for the Admiralty, and became one of the first traditionally all-male firms to employ women. At their output peak they were producing 107 machines per month, meaning one-fifth of all the lathes manufactured in this country were coming from Dean, Smith & Grace. In 1948, a new range of lathes was exhibited the Machine Tool Exhibition held at Olympia in London, which led to considerable trade with Canada.
According to advertising from the time, by 1960 they were manufacturing 13” to 30” swing engine lathes, surfacing and boring lathes, and precision tool room lathes. The works at this time boasted many labour-saving devices including mechanised accounting machines, colour-coded signalling systems and index systems for accounts and stores control. Staff benefitted from a superannuation scheme, a canteen (with DSG-stamped cutlery) and a surgery “with sun-ray and infra-red lamps for treatment during working hours”. The company also had its own sports field and pavilion for its cricket team and other sporting activities. The firm boasted of its employee loyalty, recognising long periods of service – in one case over sixty years.
A new foundry in Lawkholme Lane, the Nelson Works, was built between 1962 and 1965. In 1974 the company was sold to US company Monarch Machine Tool Co. The firm then became independent again in 1992, rebranding as DSG Lathes. There was a management buyout in 2005 and former Rolls-Royce engineer Nigel Grainger took over as managing director. He initiated a rebrand and a complete overhaul of the product range, including the launch of new aerospace and pipe lathes. In 2008 the company went into administration and was bought by Newsmith Stainless Ltd. and traded as Dean Smith & Grace Lathes Ltd. In 2012 the company was sold on to Machine Tool Technology Group who in 2015 made the decision to move the firm from Keighley to Halifax.
Dean Smith & Grace is now a Belgrave & Powell Ltd. company operating out of Preston in Lancashire. According to its website “it still develops new machine tools but also offers robotics and automation, CNC retrofitted solutions, rebuilds, machine tool services and breakdown support for all types of machine tools with the same level of professionalism and pride in the name instilled in the business over a 150 years ago”. An example of a Dean, Smith & Grace lathe is held in the Science Museum Group’s collection.
The original photograph measures approximately 260mm by 205mm and is held in the Keighley and District Local History Society's physical archive. It was scanned on behalf of the History Society by Billy Stride in 2021.

Dixie Reindeer Moss - Cladonia subtenuis
Seems to the most likely species, ID suggested by Jason Hollinger on Mushroom Observer.
Abundantly branched forming cushions; slender podetia with main stalks not well-defined; ecorticate; predominantly Y-branching; compare with C. rangiferina which is gray-white, has open axils and is K+ yellow, with C. arbuscula with predominantly whorled branching, open axils, and K-, and with Cladonia furcata which is corticate and squamulose.
A southeastern US species, on soil almost exclusively, rarely on decaying wood. Frequent on roadside banks, rights-of-way and sunny woods edges. Most common “reindeer lichen” in some parts of the eastern United States.
One of the two common “reindeer mosses” found in central Florida, the other being Cladonia evanii, with the subtenuis — which means thinner — being less compact than Cladonia evanii. C. evanii — named after North Carolina botanist Alexander W. Evans — has no official common name but it is called Powder Puff Lichen. C. subtenuis is called Dixie Reindeer Moss.

Exposition
Du 14/06/2017 au 10/09/2017
L’exposition Le Rêve des formes, présentée à l’occasion du vingtième anniversaire du Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains, est conçue comme un paysage imaginaire, un jardin monstrueux où se cultivent des formes périssables et des surfaces en germination, des organismes protubérants et de plates silhouettes.
Les artistes et chercheurs rassemblés dans Le Rêve des formes témoignent de leur rencontre avec de nouvelles possibilités de représentation, issues de découvertes scientifiques et techniques récentes, qui bouleversent notre façon de voir et de montrer. En renouvelant grâce à cela le champ du perceptible – nanotechnologies, imagerie de synthèse, scan 3D, stéréolithographie… –, ces nouvelles visualisations nous laissent présumer de géométries encore inconnues.
Des images, des transcriptions, des modélisations, des formes spéculatives produites par les inventeurs et savants des sciences prospectives, issues des mathématiques, de la physique, de la biologie, de l’optique ou de la chimie par exemple, rejoignent ou inspirent des œuvres qui résultent des greffes opérées entre art et science, entre spéculation et invention, par une vingtaine d’artistes contemporains.
Avec : Francis Alÿs, Hicham Berrada & Sylvain Courrech du Pont & Simon de Dreuille, Michel Blazy, Juliette Bonneviot, Dora Budor, Damien Cadio, Julian Charrière, Sylvie Chartrand, Clément Cogitore, Hugo Deverchère, Bertrand Dezoteux, Mimosa Echard, Alain Fleischer, Fabien Giraud & Raphaël Siboni, Bruno Gironcoli, Spiros Hadjidjanos, Patrick Jouin, Ryoichi Kurokawa, Annick Lesne & Julien Mozziconacci, Adrien Missika, Jean-Luc Moulène, Marie-Jeanne Musiol, Katja Novitskova, Jonathan Pêpe & Thibaut Rostagnat & David Chavalarias, Olivier Perriquet & Jean-Paul Delahaye, Arnaud Petit, Jean-François Peyret & Alain Prochiantz, Gaëtan Robillard, Gwendal Sartre, SMITH & Antonin-Tri Hoang, Anicka Yi
