Yay!!! The life-sized dress form I ordered is finally here today! Now I can display my jewelries on a life-sized dressed model. But... where is the instruction for assembly? 0_0

Adventures in Seeing - Humility (1)

 

These are a few of my favourite kitchen tools... simple, functional, unadorned... producing such humble fare as biscuits, scones, and apple crisp. Baking with these simple hand tools brings me in touch with the process and the feel of what I'm making, a sensation I don't get when using more high-tech gadgets.

Navaratri celebrates the nine forms of Goddess Durga.

 

On the second night, Goddess Brahmacharini Devi is venerated. She shows us the importance of our spiritual practice and how the discipline of doing it every day is an expression of devotion to the Divine. She is depicted as standing on Her on own two feet, which symbolises Her grounded nature despite Her constant meditation. She also reminds us that our practices do take time, so Brahmacharini Devi is also considered the Goddess of patience.

 

Every night of Navaratri we perform a Guru-puja, Kalash-puja, yajna, abhishekam, and arati, as well as satsangs from different speakers and Gurudev Himself. This night, however, is always a special reminder and acknowledgement for the Brahmacharis and Brahmacharinis of Bhakti Marga around the world who have dedicated their lives to serving Gurudev and His mission.

 

Tonight featured a satsang on the Divya Prabandham, a traditional Indian dance performance by four young girls of our Bhakti Marga community here in Springen, and Gurudev continued His commentary on the Mukunda Mala Stotram.

Mark got his start in comedy after he dropped out of university and moved West to Calgary where met up with Bruce McCulloch. They formed an improv troupe called 'The Audience' and in 1983, made their way to Toronto along with Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald and eventually, Scott Thompson. One name change later and 'The Kids in the Hall' were born. In 1988, Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live put them on television and man, did they ever push the envelope. Perhaps you remember Mark as the 'Chicken Lady'? By the mid 90's, the 'Kids' split up and Mark joined the cast of 'SNL,' for three seasons. He's since gone on to star in films and on Broadway while writing and starring in the critically acclaimed Canadian series 'Slings and Arrows'. Mark also worked on the well received but short lived nAmerican series 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.' This past spring, he reunited with the 'Kids' for a North American tour and recently, he got a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. Now, he's producing a half-hour comedy series called 'Less Than Kind.'

Saint George’s Presbyterian Church, also known as the West End Church, was formed in 1861 by a breakaway group from the Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Yarra Street Geelong. The new congregation required a place of worship, and works were already underway at the behest of wealthy parishioners before they split from Saint Andrew’s Presbyterian.

 

Rising proudly on the rise of a hill, the former Saint George’s Presbyterian Church, which stands on the corner of Latrobe Terrace and Ryrie Street on the outskirts of the Geelong central business district, began its construction in 1860. Designed by architect Nathaniel Billing in Victorian English Gothic style, the original large nave of the church, with vestry and apse were constructed of irregularly coursed basalt with Hawksbury River freestone dressings. The initial build was erected and completed in 1861 by contractors Brown and Gibson. The foundation stone was laid on 12 June 1861. The large and finely constructed church reflects the wealth of many of the church's foundation patrons, which included Francis Ormond and other Western District Squatters. The former Saint George’s Presbyterian Church is a significant and intact work of Nathaniel Billing, who was well known for ecclesiastical architecture. The original church was expanded with the addition of transepts in 1908, and finally a spire and tower in 1936. The tower and spire were donated as a seventy-fifth anniversary gift by wealthy parishioners James McPhillimy and his sister Louise. The McPhillimy family were not only wealthy parisioners, but were also long time worshipers at Saint George’s Persbyterian Church. They began worshiping there in 1886.

 

The inside of the former Saint George’s Presbyterian Church is quite plain, with white painted walls and three rows of blackwood pews separated by two aisles. The church features examples of its original latticed quarry glass lancet windows with one band of coloured glass, as well as several figurative stained glass windows installed later. This includes two pairs of lancet windows manufactured by Ballantyne and Company of Edinburgh, which are perhaps the church’s most beautiful windows for their wonderful colours and beautiful hand-painted details. There is also two windows by Melbourne stained glass manufacturers Mathieson and Gibson installed in the 1930s, and a fine heritage listed stained glass window by one of Melbourne’s leading stained glass artists, William Montgomery, which commemorates the fallen of the Great War. There is one window in the northern transept by John Ferguson and Nick Papas in the 1950s. The church’s rose window and great western window created by Melbourne stained glass manufacturer Ferguson and Urie are the oldest windows, and like the quarry glass windows, are original.

 

An English Victorian Gothic manse, also designed by Nathaniel Billing, was erected adjacent to the former Saint George’s Presbyterian Church in 1865. It is accessed by a long driveway at the side of the church, or via a set of wide bluestone steps flanked by cypress trees.

 

Saint George's Presbyterian Church was forced to close its doors in 2015 owing to dwindling congregation numbers, and whilst the Presbyterian Church still owns the church and manse, the manse is now rented out and has been used for both commercial and residential purposes. The church itself sits idly, its slowly weathering exterior requiring significant restoration, its garden sinking into neglect and its interior lying beneath a sheet of thick dust.

 

I am very grateful to the retired Presbyterian Reverend Andrew Bray, caretaker of the church at the time of photographing, for giving me an hour of his time and for letting me photograph the interior and stained glass windows so extensively.

 

Nathaniel Billing was born in Brightwell, Oxfordshire in 1821. Articled to the prestigious office of Sir Gilbert Scott in London, he later commenced his own architectural practice in Slough under his own name. Nathaniel married his first wife, Henrietta in 1850. Three years later the pair and their family immigrated to Australia. he was appointed to the Colonial Architect's Office in Belfast (now known as Port Fairy), but commenced his own practice there in 1855. In Port Fairy he designed Saint John's Church of England in 1856 and the Bank of Australasia in 1857. That same year, Nathaniel left Port Fairy and moved to Melbourne, where he soon had a thriving practice. In Melbourne, most of his commissions were ecclesiastical. He designed All Saints Church of England on Chapel Street in 1861 which with a seating capacity of 1,500 is the largest Church of England in the southern hemisphere, Saint Margaret's Church of England in Eltham in 1861, alterations to Melville House in Collins Street in 1881, "Steamshall" a Victorian Italianate villa in Kew in 1882, Saint Paul's Cathedral in Sale in 1884, Saint Matthias' Church of England in Richmond in 1885, the Fitzroy Cricket Ground grandstand in 1888, and extensions to Saint George's Church of England in 1889 in conjunction with the architects firm Dalton and Gibbons. Nathaniel's first wife Henrietta died in 1867 after nineteen years of marriage, four sons and five daughters. Nathaniel remarried in 1869, taking Mary Anne Hooke as his wife. They had no children together. Nathaniel's fourth child, William Urban Billing, joined his firm in 1880 and practiced as Billing and Son. They worked together until 1895 when Nathaniel retired. Nathaniel died at his home in Westbury Street East St Kilda in 1910 at the age of 88.

Adelaide High School was formed in 1908 in Grote Street with the amalgamation as the Pupil Teacher School (where some teachers received a little training to be a teacher in a Tudor Gothic building), the Grote Street Model School and the Advanced School for Girls. Before this time boys were expected to attend one of the private colleges for secondary education but the Advanced School for Girls was basically a high school. Some primary schools ran continuation classes before 1910 to introduce the brightest pupils to some form of secondary education.

 

By the end of 1908 the new school had changed its name to Adelaide High School the first government high school in South Australia and the first free high school in Australia. Country and suburban high schools were developed from around 1912 onwards with early high schools at Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, Victor Harbor, Gladstone, Gawler etc. Due to overcrowding at the Grote Street site boys were moved to the Currie Street School (there were four government primary schools within the city square mile during most of the 20th century) and only the girls occupied the Grote Street School site. In 1951 this cream brick Art Deco but slightly modernist high school as built for the Adelaide boys. The girls did not move to the West Terrace campus until 1979. Additions to the school in recent decades have been done in a sympathetic architectural style.

The Kamakshi Temple is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to Kamakshi, one of the forms of the goddess Parvati. It is located in the historic city of Kanchipuram, near Chennai, India and is popularly associated with Sankaracharya, one of the greatest Hindu gurus. The Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, the Akilandeswari temple in Thiruvanaikaval near Tiruchirappalli and this Kamakshi are the important centers of worship of Parvati as the mother goddess, in the state of Tamil Nadu. The temple was most probably built by the Pallava kings, whose capital was Kanchipuram, around 6 C.E.

 

The main deity, Kamakshi, is seated in a majestic Padmasana, an yogic posture signifying peace and prosperity, instead of the traditional standing pose. The goddess holds a sugarcane bow and bunch of flowers in the lower two of her arms and has a pasha (lasso), an ankusha (goad) in her upper two arms. There is also a parrot perched near the flower bunch. There are no other Parvati temples in the city of Kanchipuram, apart from this temple, which is unusual in a traditional city that has hundreds of traditional temples. There are various legends that account for this fact. One of them according to Kamakshivilasa is that the Goddess had to absorb all the other shakthi forms to give a boon to Kama, the Hindu god of love. Another legend attributes it to the Raja Rajeswari pose of the deity that signifies an absolute control over the land under the deity's control. Legend has it that Kamakshi offered worship to a Shivalingam made out of sand, under a mango tree and gained Shiva's hand in marriage.

 

FESTIVALS

Four worship services are offered each day. The annual festival falls in Spring, in the Tamil month of Masi, which runs from mid-March to mid-April. During this time the chariot festival (Ther) and float festival, (Theppam) are held. Other festivals include Navaratri, Aadi and Aippasi Pooram, Sankara Jayanthi and Vasanta Utsavam in the Tamil month of Vaikasi. All Fridays are considered sacred, though the Fridays in the Tamil months of Adi (mid-July to mid-August) and Thai (mid-January to mid-February) are celebrated.

 

THE OLD KAMAKSHI DEVI TEMPLE

The original Kamakshi Devi Temple is what is now known as Adi Peeteswari or the Adi Peeta Parameswari. This temple is just adjacent to the Kumarakottam, and is near to the Kamakshi Devi temple.

 

Adi Shankaracharya, the famous 8th-century CE scholar and saint, established the Sri Chakra at this original Kamakshi Devi temple in the trough-like structure in that shrine. This Sri Chakra soon became the All India famous Kamakoti Peeta. The Acharya's Lalitha Trishati Bhashya comments Kamakoti Peetam as Sri Chakra.

 

The Acharya changed the fierce form of worship into a sowmya form. The Devi in this original Kamakshi temple is called by various names like Kirtimati, Devagarbha in extant Tantric works like Tantrachudamani. She has four hands containing in each of them respectively, Ankusa, PAsa, Abhaya and a Kapala. This description corresponds to those extant old tantric works. Further, Girvanendra Saraswathi describes precisely this swaroopa as Kameswari.

 

Sundaramurthi Nayanar, the Saiva saint of the 12th century is aware of the Kamakottam. He in fact mentions that the Kamakottam has come in existence just at that time.

 

THE MODERN KAMAKSHI DEVI TEMPLE AT KANCHI

The Siruthondar Puranam of Sekkilar Peruman, written during this time, is aware of both the temples and mentions the original temple as the Yoga Peeta and the present Kamakshi devi temple as Bhoga peetam. The reference to the present Kamakshi Devi as Aram Purappaval (bestower of boons)by Sekilar Peruman is noteworthy, as the present name of the street in which this new temple is located in Kanchipuram is called Arapanak Ara Theru.

 

The present Kamakshi temple too, has a Sri Chakra which was established during the 16th Century by NrusimhAdvari, of the famous dathamAnji family. There is a stone inscription inside the new temple, near this Sri Chakra, which states this fact. It is noteworthy that Arunagirinathar a 15th Century Tamil Saint, sings in praise of the Goddess as devi of dark emarald complexion and the mother of Muruga of Kumarakottam. The Original Kamakshi Devi temple i.e. Adi PeeteswariKamakshi Devi temple is just adjucant to the Kumarakottam. Arunagirinathar mentions the Sri Yantra in the Kamakshi Devi temple, which can apply, during the 15th century, only to the original Adi Peeteswari Kamakshi Devi, which contained the Sri Chakra installed by Adi Shankara. Arunagirinathar does not make any reference to the new temple.

 

Also noteworthy is the fact that this new temple's legend considers the Bangaru Kamakshi at Thanjavur as Dharmadevi This is the metallic counterpart of the stone image of Dharmadevi, which is at present at Thiruparuthikunram (Jina Kanchi) to where it was removed from this present Kamakshi (Tara Devi) temple after the conversion of the Jain Tara Devi temple into Hindu Sakta tradition has become stronger. There is a stone inscription at the Jina Kanchi temple which explains this fact. There are strong evidences that Dharadevi was worshipped in the present day main shrine.

 

THE KANCHI KAMAKSHI AMMAN TEMPLE AS A

SHAKTI PEETH

The mythology of Daksha yaga and Sati's self immolation is the main theme in the origin of Shakti Peethas.

 

Shakti Peethas are divine temples of Adiparashakti. The cause of the presence of Devi's presence is due to the falling of body parts of the corpse of Sati Devi. The eyes/back of Sati Devi is believed to have fallen here. There are 51 Shakti Peeth linking to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit. There are also arguments that the old Kanchi temple is the Shakti peetha, where Sankaracharya has installed the Shri Chakra. It is reverred world wide as Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham.

 

TIRUKKALAVANUR

In the shrine of Kamakshi Amman close the sanctum, the Tirukalavanur Divya Desam, the temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu glorified by the 7th-10th century alwars (Tamil saint poets) is present. The temple faced west went to ruins and the deity is now placed inside the Kamakshi Amman temple. There are shrines over the vimana.

Puente Maule es un puente ferroviario fuera de servicio ubicado en el km 264 de la línea férrea que formaba parte del antiguo trazado del Ferrocarril al Sur de Chile. Construido durante los gobiernos de los presidentes Domingo Santa María y José Manuel Balmaceda, fue proyectado por el ingeniero civil Domingo V. Santa María y construido por la maestranza Lever, Murphy & Co. de Caleta Abarca, Viña del Mar. Entregado en 1885 después de un año de construcción, a la misma estructura luego en 1888 se le añadiría el Puente Carretero Maule, un segundo puente similar al anterior para tránsito de carretas.

 

Siendo Ministro de Interior don José Manuel Balmaceda, el gobierno hizo eco de distintas entidades que pedían el reemplazo de los puentes ferroviarios provisorios construidos en madera, principalmente los instalados sobre los ríos Lircay, Maule y Ñuble. Ya que, estos debían reconstruirse cada año luego de la crecidas veraniegas de dichos ríos, lo que perjudicaba el servicio de trenes hacia el sur suspendiendo sus operaciones incluso hasta durante 30 días.

 

El Maule fue construido por una comisión especial creada por el gobierno, quienes querían levantar un puente mixto, ferroviario y carretero, que compartiera fundaciones para mayor economía. El proyecto corrió a cargo de Domingo Víctor Santa María, ingeniero civil con estudios en Bélgica, junto con los ingenieros residentes Francisco Prado y Nicolás Tanco. Fue supervisado por Benjamín Vivanco, ingeniero de ferrocarriles para la sección de Curicó y el Maule. Es un error común relacionar a Gustavo Eiffel con la construcción de este puente, en la cual no tuvo injerencia, debido a que el francés si participó en otro puente sobre el río Maule cerca de Constitución.

 

Se comenzó la faena en enero de 1883 con la desviación del río en su ribera norte. Toda la obra de mampostería, estribos, cimientos y machones, fue construida por Santa María utilizando personal contratado por el gobierno con maquinaria arrendada a Lever Murphy y Cía. Esta se pensó para sostener tanto al puente ferroviario como al carretero. El 3 de febrero de ese mismo año se inicia la excavación del primer machón. Además el 30 de mayo, la misma Lever Murphy, gana la propuesta para construir la superestructura metálica del puente ferroviario de 1.320 toneladas de hierro forjado, la que sería puesta en obra y sujeta a pruebas de resistencia.​

 

El puente se entregó oficialmente el 15 de marzo de 1885 no sin percances y retrasos en la mampostería por intensas lluvias en los inviernos de 1883 y 1884. Santa María presentó su memoria de la obra el 6 de junio, la cual quedó publicada en el Diario Oficial con esmerado detalle el 17 de junio de 1885. Fue probado antes de su apertura con un tren de 49 m de longitud y un peso 300 toneladas, tanto en reposo como a máxima velocidad (50 km/h). El puente mostró que el movimiento lateral fue de 6 mm en todos los tramos. Además la deflexión en los tramos de 60 m fue de 11 mm, y en los tramos de 50 m fue de 7,9 mm.

 

Fue inaugurado el mismo día que los puentes ferroviarios sobre el río Lircay, el sábado 11 de abril de 1885, por una extensa comitiva liderada por el entonces Ministro de Interior, José Manuel Balmaceda. De la ceremonia participaron representantes de gobierno, casi todos los ministros de estado, los ingenieros proyectistas y los socios de la empresa constructora, junto a centenares de personas que se reunieron en las riberas del río. El puente fue adornado para la ocasión con gigantes banderas chilenas que cerraban el paso hacia él y la comitiva almorzó en el mismo lugar luego de la ceremonia. Balmaceda, al momento de su discurso, destacó el trabajo de los chilenos en este tipo de obras e instó a los constructores a ensanchar sus talleres para numerosos futuros proyectos.

 

Originalmente en cada entrada del puente existían dos obeliscos, ya desaparecidos, con placas que recordaban la fecha de inauguración, ingenieros y constructores.

 

El puente ferroviario Maule fue considerado el primer puente de viga de celosía metálica remachada fabricado por chilenos. Ubicado entre las estaciones de Maule y San Javier, medía originalmente 440 m de largo en tramos de 50 y 60 m de luz, pero solo permanecen en pie unos 340. Su superestructura tuvo 4 vigas de rejilla tipo Warren con una longitud de 220 m cada una. Cada par de vigas sostenía originalmente un tablero de perfiles metálico, el cual soportaba la línea férrea y sus durmientes. El entramado metálico reposaba originalmente sobre estribos y machones de mampostería en piedra, los que fueron cambiados por estructuras de hormigón armado. Las fundaciones se proyectaron para soportar también la superestructura el Puente Carretero Maule, que fue añadido en 1888. El puente ferroviario además tuvo en su parte superior vigas contraviento en arco para evitar torsiones, instaladas justo en cada par de montantes.

 

Aparte de reparaciones periódicas, el puente no tuvo mayores modificaciones hasta 1909. Debido a un descarrilamiento de un tren de carga el 7 de septiembre de 1909, resultó parcialmente destruido el segundo tramo norte del puente ferroviario en unos 40 m. Si bien el tráfico fue restablecido prontamente en forma provisoria, el tramo afectado debió reconstruirse completamente. Las obras fueron encargadas a la Sociedad de Maestranzas y Galvanización y supervisadas por el administrador de la tercera sección de ferrocarriles, Francisco Sayagó, junto a los ingenieros Carlos Sibilla y Francisco Mardones. El puente fue entregado nuevamente a servicio el 25 de noviembre de 1909.

 

En 1993 se puso en servicio un nuevo puente carretero en la autopista, más ancho y fabricado en hormigón armado. Los puentes históricos fueron definitivamente dados de baja. El puente carretero fue clausurado con una barrera e informalmente quedó para uso peatonal. El antiguo puente ferroviario, o la vía sur a norte de la Panamericana entre 1956 y 1993, quedó como un desvío para fiscalización de camiones para el SII y el SAG. Así se mantuvieron hasta el año 2005, cuando el socavo de un machón motivó su clausura como medida de seguridad.

 

A petición del Municipio de San Javier de Loncomilla, por constituir un sobresaliente conjunto símbolo del progreso y talento de los ingenieros chilenos, los puentes proyectados por D. V. Santa María y construidos por Lever Murphy fueron declarados Monumento Histórico Nacional el 10 de septiembre de 1993, en virtud del decreto supremo n.º 635 del Ministerio de Educación de Chile, el cual también declara como monumento al actual puente ferroviario adyacente.

 

Debido a un sismo menor el 20 de febrero de 2006 colapsaron 112 metros de la superestructura de ambos puentes. Según artículos de prensa, meses antes la acción de las aguas estuvo socavando un machón cercano al estribo norte. El desnivel habría creado una torcedura de 20 cm en las vigas de su sección, justo las reconstruidas en 1909, motivando un cierre preventivo al público que utilizaba los monumentos como balneario en época estival. Dada la falta oportuna de reparaciones, un sismo ocurrido el 19 de febrero desestabilizó la estructura provocando su caída al río en la madrugada del día siguiente. Posteriormente personal de vialidad retiró los perfiles metálicos dañados, incluida una placa instalada al momento de inaugurar el puente carretero, manteniéndose en pie el resto

Maule Bridge is a railway bridge out of service located at km 264 of the railway line that was part of the old Southern Chile Railway route. Built during the governments of presidents Domingo Santa María and José Manuel Balmaceda, it was designed by the civil engineer Domingo V. Santa María and built by the Lever, Murphy & Co. factory of Caleta Abarca, Viña del Mar. Delivered in 1885 after one year of construction, to the same structure later in 1888 the Maule Carretero Bridge would be added, a second bridge similar to the previous one for cart traffic.

 

When Mr. José Manuel Balmaceda was Minister of the Interior, the government echoed different entities that requested the replacement of the temporary railway bridges built of wood, mainly those installed over the Lircay, Maule and Ñuble rivers. Since, these had to be rebuilt every year after the summer floods of said rivers, which harmed the train service to the south, suspending their operations even for up to 30 days.

 

The Maule was built by a special commission created by the government, who wanted to build a mixed railway and road bridge, which would share foundations for greater economy. The project was carried out by Domingo Víctor Santa María, a civil engineer with studies in Belgium, together with resident engineers Francisco Prado and Nicolás Tanco. It was supervised by Benjamín Vivanco, railway engineer for the Curicó and Maule section. It is a common error to relate Gustavo Eiffel to the construction of this bridge, in which he had no influence, because the Frenchman did participate in another bridge over the Maule River near Constitución.

 

The work began in January 1883 with the diversion of the river on its northern bank. All the masonry work, abutments, foundations and buttresses, was built by Santa María using personnel hired by the government with machinery leased from Lever Murphy y Cía. This was designed to support both the railway and road bridges. On February 3 of that same year, excavation of the first core began. Furthermore, on May 30, Lever Murphy herself won the proposal to build the metal superstructure of the railway bridge of 1,320 tons of wrought iron, which would be put into work and subject to strength tests.

 

The bridge was officially handed over on March 15, 1885, not without mishaps and delays in the masonry due to intense rains in the winters of 1883 and 1884. Santa María presented its report on the work on June 6, which was published in the Diario Official in careful detail on June 17, 1885. It was tested before its opening with a train 49 m long and weighing 300 tons, both at rest and at maximum speed (50 km/h). The bridge showed that lateral movement was 6 mm in all spans. Furthermore, the deflection in the 60 m sections was 11 mm, and in the 50 m sections it was 7.9 mm.

 

It was inaugurated on the same day as the railway bridges over the Lircay River, Saturday, April 11, 1885, by an extensive delegation led by the then Minister of the Interior, José Manuel Balmaceda. Government representatives, almost all state ministers, design engineers and partners of the construction company participated in the ceremony, along with hundreds of people who gathered on the banks of the river. The bridge was decorated for the occasion with giant Chilean flags that closed the way to it and the delegation had lunch in the same place after the ceremony. Balmaceda, at the time of his speech, highlighted the work of Chileans in this type of works and urged builders to expand their workshops for numerous future projects.​

 

Originally, at each entrance to the bridge there were two obelisks, now gone, with plaques that remembered the date of inauguration, engineers and builders.

 

The Maule railway bridge was considered the first riveted metal truss girder bridge manufactured by Chileans. Located between the Maule and San Javier stations, it was originally 440 m long in sections of 50 and 60 m span, but only about 340 remain standing. Its superstructure had 4 Warren-type grid beams with a length of 220 m each. a. Each pair of beams originally supported a metal profile board, which supported the railway line and its sleepers. The metal framework originally rested on abutments and stone masonry buttresses, which were replaced by reinforced concrete structures. The foundations were designed to also support the superstructure of the Maule Road Bridge, which was added in 1888. The railway bridge also had arched windbreak beams in its upper part to avoid twisting, installed right on each pair of uprights.

 

Apart from periodic repairs, the bridge did not undergo major modifications until 1909. Due to a derailment of a freight train on September 7, 1909, the second northern section of the railway bridge was partially destroyed by about 40 m. Although traffic was promptly restored on a provisional basis, the affected section had to be completely rebuilt. The works were commissioned to the Sociedad de Maestranzas y Galvanización and supervised by the administrator of the third section of railways, Francisco Sayagó, together with the engineers Carlos Sibilla and Francisco Mardones. The bridge was returned to service on November 25, 1909.

 

In 1993, a new highway bridge was put into service, wider and made of reinforced concrete. The historic bridges were definitively decommissioned. The highway bridge was closed with a barrier and was informally left for pedestrian use. The old railway bridge, or the south to north route of the Panamericana between 1956 and 1993, was left as a detour for truck inspection for the SII and the SAG. They remained this way until 2005, when the damage caused by a pier led to their closure as a safety measure.

 

At the request of the Municipality of San Javier de Loncomilla, for constituting an outstanding symbol of the progress and talent of Chilean engineers, the bridges designed by D. V. Santa María and built by Lever Murphy were declared National Historical Monument on September 10, 1993, in by virtue of supreme decree No. 635 of the Chilean Ministry of Education, which also declares the current adjacent railway bridge as a monument.

 

Due to a minor earthquake on February 20, 2006, 112 meters of the superstructure of both bridges collapsed. According to press articles, months before the action of the waters was undermining a buttress near the northern abutment. The unevenness would have created a 20 cm twist in the beams of its section, precisely those rebuilt in 1909, motivating a preventive closure to the public who used the monuments as a spa in the summer. Given the lack of timely repairs, an earthquake that occurred on February 19 destabilized the structure, causing it to fall into the river in the early hours of the next day. Later, road personnel removed the damaged metal profiles, including a plaque installed when the highway bridge was inaugurated, leaving the rest standing.

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.

 

Seen here is conglomerate, a siliciclastic sedimentary rock consisting of a mix of large and small grains - it is poorly sorted. The larger grains (pebbles or cobbles or boulders) in conglomerates are rounded to subrounded in shape. The finer-grained matrix is usually sand or mud. Most conglomerates were deposited in stream/river environments or alluvial fan environments or some very shallow marine environments.

 

This specimen is unusual in that the pebbles have been cemented together by travertine - each clast is coated with a thin travertine crust. There is still significant porosity (empty space) between the pebbles. The intergranular areas lack sand or mud. In terms of the rock's origin, it's possible that hot spring water rich in dissolved calcium carbonate moved through a pebble deposit.

Our principal violinists, cellist and harpsichordist were at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, Darlington, on Wednesday 20th September 2017 for a workshop on performance and interpretation. We greatly enjoyed working with the orchestra and soloists on three concertos – Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor BWV 1041, Vivaldi’s Flute Concerto in D major ‘The Goldfinch’ RV428 and John Garth’s Cello Concerto No 2 in B flat major. It was an intensive workshop focusing on period interpretation, style and performance practices, and at the end of the workshop the orchestra presented a concert to an invited audience of students from other schools in the area. We were delighted to be involved in this workshop to engage and explore this wonderful music with enthusiastic young players.

 

We’re grateful to Dr Simon Fleming (Curriculum Leader for Music) and the staff at QESFC for inviting us to lead this workshop. QESFC has a thriving culture of music education and participation, and we’re delighted to have been involved in supporting their music learning.

Entrega Gobernador Padrés el más grande equipamiento educativo

Forma parte de la Transformación Educativa y va para diferentes municipios donde se abatirá el rezago en mobiliario principalmente de mesabancos.

HERMOSILLO, SONORA, MARZO 02 DE 2015.- Con una inversión de 120 millones de pesos, el Gobernador Guillermo Padrés entregó y dio el banderazo de salida al equipamiento educativo más grande de su administración, con lo que se logra abatir un rezago muy importante en mobiliario y cerrar muy fuerte el ciclo escolar.

La entrega forma parte del programa de la Transformación Educativa y consistió en el envío de 92 mil piezas de equipamiento que se componen de 55 mil 500 mesabancos para niños de tercer grado en adelante, 17 mil espacios didácticos para niños de preescolar y 11 mil mesas trapezoidales para pequeños de segundo grado de preescolar.

Así como mil 500 pintarrones, sillas apilables, equipos secretariales y 2 mil 600 aires acondicionados tipo minisplit que harán frente a las inclemencias del clima en el próximo verano.

“Es una inversión de arriba de 120 millones de pesos, nunca se había visto una entrega tan grande de tantos artículos precisamente en fortalecimiento a la educación, con más de 92 mil piezas que se están mandando a las escuelas estamos logrando abatir gran parte de los rezagos”, expresó.

Previo al banderazo de los trailers cargados con el material, el Gobernador Padrés específicó que los materiales van para los niños y jóvenes de los municipios de Hermosillo, Puerto Peñasco, Guaymas, Agua Prieta, Navojoa, Santa Ana, San Luis Río Colorado y Caborca,

Acompañado del Secretario de Educación y Cultura, Jorge Luis Ibarra Mendivil y ante estudiantes de la primaria Margarita Romandía, el mandatario estatal reconoció el esfuerzo de los docentes y padres de familia para trabajar en conjunto en la Transformación Educativa.

 

“Tomamos una decisión de la cual me siento muy orgulloso de en mi carrera política, una de las decisiones más importantes, que es invertirle a la educación pública en el estado de Sonora, porque es la base de desarrollo en cualquier sociedad en México y en el mundo”, recalcó el Gobernador

El Secretario de Educación y Cultura, Jorge Luis Ibarra Mendívil, dijo que al inicio de la presente administración se tenía un déficit de 40 mil mesabancos en las escuelas con precarias instalaciones físicas en mayor parte de la entidad.

Estos años, con el esfuerzo del Gobierno del Estado y con este lanzamiento habremos entregado 120 mil mesabancos, que significan resolver problemáticas muy fuerte al interior de las escuelas que se nos agudizó en el ciclo 2013-2014, cuando tuvimos un crecimiento exponencial en escuelas secundarias de 16 mil niños adicionales a los estábamos recibiendo, dijo.

Estuvieron presentes el Director General del Instituto Sonorense de Infraestructura (ISIE), Luis Felipe Romero López; el Presidente de la Asociación Nacional de Padrés de Familia, Noé Delgado Molina; así como los dirigentes de las secciones 28 del SNTE, Francisco Javier Duarte Flores y de la sección 54, Jesús Jaime Rochin Carrillo.

 

Friedenstauben, "Ostfrontwünsche", Gräuelbanner und "Endsieglosungen" auf Plakaten; der Ruf nach Frieden mit Russland und einem Waffenstillstand im Ukraine-Krieg

Trotz Schneeregen und bitterer Kälte waren am heutigen Samstag viele Tausend Menschen dem Aufruf von Sahra Wagenknecht und Alice Schwarzer zu einer Kundgebung in Berlin gefolgt. Das namentlich gut passende Tief Yigit machte dem Wochenende in vielerlei Hinsicht alle Ehre.

 

Die Polizei bezifferte die Teilnehmerzahl auf rund 13.000 Menschen. Mehrere unabhängige Journalisten vor Ort schätzen die Zahl der Teilnehmer ebenfalls in dieser Höhe ein und eine spätere Prüfung auf MapChecking bestätigte letztendlich diese Anzahl. Es gibt somit also nicht nur eine Quellenlage – nämlich die der Polizei (was viele kritisierten), sondern wie immer: mehrere und auch unabhängige.

Die Berliner Zeitung interessiert sich allerdings nicht für diese Faktenlage, sie rühmt sich bis heute mit einer Teilnehmerzahl von fast 50.000 Menschen - ganz so, wie es u.a. Sahra Wagenknecht und ihre Gefolgschaft rund um das aufstehen-Bündnis bereits auf der Kundgebung schon verkündet hatte und seitdem in dieser Form von Fake-News durch die sozialen Netzwerke geistert.

Funfact: Der Verleger der Berliner Zeitung: Holger Friedrich mit seiner unrühmlichen DDR-Vergangenheit gehörte zu Wagenknechts Erstunterzeichnern des "Manifest". Die Daten wurden in der Tagesszeitung nicht korrigiert. Eigentlich ein Fall für den Presserat.

 

Zu der Kundgebung hatten aber nicht nur Wagenknecht und Schwarzer aufgerufen, bei der im Vorfeld Wagenknecht darauf hinwies, das zwar rechtsextreme Flaggen und Symbole nicht geduldet seien, aber sie sagte auch: „Auf unserer Kundgebung ist jeder willkommen, der ehrlichen Herzens für Frieden und für Verhandlungen demonstrieren möchte.“ Schwarzer sagte im Vorfeld: „Selbstverständlich werden wir gegen jede Art von rechtsextremer Propaganda auf dem Platz angehen“ (...).

Wagenknechts Ehemann und ebenfalls Erstunterzeichner Oskar Lafontaine antwortete auf die Abgrenzung nach rechts auf einem Kanal aus dem Querdenken-Spektrum (Milena Preradovic) in einem Interview: „Da gibt es keine Gesinnungsprüfung, da wird auch niemand gefragt: ‚Welches Parteibuch hast du?‘ oder ,Wen hast du gewählt?'“

 

Auf Anordnung der Versammlungsbehörde gab es auf der Kundgebung Auflagen. Darüber informierte die Polizei via Twitter:

"Für die Versammlung am Brandenburger Tor hat unsere Versammlungsbehörde Beschränkungen erlassen. Insbesondere ist das Tragen von militärischen Uniformen, Abzeichen, St-Georgs-Bändern, den Buchstaben Z & V und anderen kriegsverherrlichenden Symboliken untersagt."

Ordnungsgemäß wurde dies zu Beginn der Kundgebung verlesen, daraufhin brach das Publikum in höhnendes Gelächter aus, die Auflage wurde ausgepfiffen, es erfolgten Buh- und Pfui-Rufe sowie Russija-Verlautbarungen.

Das Coop-Cafe hatte (wie sonst auch, da unerwünscht) entsprechend ihre diversen pro Regime-Bekundungen am Ende der Kundgebung auf der Straße des 17. Juni verteilt, diese standen zusammen mit der DKP am Sowjetischen Ehrenmal am Tiergarten.

Das Bündnis "Heizung, Brot und Frieden" war wie erwartet ebenso vertreten sowie auch das "Unentdecktes Land" aus der stasinahen Vereinigung "Ostdeutsches Kuratorium von Verbänden"; kurz OKV.

 

Auf mehreren Transparenten war der Auszug des Zitats aus der Sportpalastrede von Joseph Goebbels zu lesen: "Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg" - neben daneben wehenden Parteiflaggen der DIE LINKE. Auf einem anderen Schild wurde gefordert, bis zum „Endsieg“ zu frieren. Die USA und die Ukraine wurden mit Nazi-Deutschland gleichgesetzt und ein Banner mit der Überschrift: "Frieden schaffen ohne Waffen" bildete deutsche Politiker mit amputierten Gliedmaßen in Rollstühlen ab. Auf einer Panzer-Attrappe aus Holz wurden Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz und Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock unter anderem mit Adolf Hitler verglichen.

 

Unter den Teilnehmenden waren wie erwartet viele Russland-Freunde, Impfgegner, die Freie Linke und Regierungsgegner - ausgedrückt über Plakate, Fahnen, Regenschirme oder Buttons. Weiter: Rechtsextreme, Reichsbürger, QAnon-Gläubige, die rechtsextremen Freien Sachsen (teils mit abgeschnittenem Logo), das rechtsextreme Compact und Verschwörungsideologen sowie die Partei "Die Basis". Hauptfeindbild blieb in logischer Konsequenz dieser Leute Annalena Baerbock (resp. Die Grünen), aber auch Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann von der FDP.

 

Der rechte Russland-Fanboy Billy Six lief mir an der Tribüne über den Weg, ebenfalls der verurteilte Holocaustleugner und rechtsextreme Videoblogger Nicolai Nehrling ("Volkslehrer"), der zuletzt wegen Corona-Soforthilfebetrugs angeklagt war. Der ebenfalls verurteilte Holocaustleugner Reza Begi war ebenso vertreten wie auch Matthäus Westfal (Aktivist Mann) oder wie schon erwähnt: das rechtsextreme Compact-Magazin mit Jürgen Elsässer. Von der AfD wurden gesichtet: Lars Günther, Gunnar Lindemann, Jörg Urban und Hans-Thomas Tillschneider. Weiter: Martin Müller-Mertens von AUF1 und auch Wjatscheslaw Seewald, der einst Russia Today mit einer Petition nach Deutschland gebracht hatte. Von den Querdenker-Nicht-Größen ganz zu schweigen.

 

Auf der Ostseite des Brandenburger Tores gab es Gegenprotest von der Antiverschwurbelte Aktion und den Omas gegen rechts Berlin. Schräg gegenüber dem Holocaustmahnmal hatte sich Geradedenken mit der ukrainischen Diaspora rund um For The Right To Resist (Linke Ukraine-Solidarität Berlin) positioniert. Es gab immer wieder verbale Übergriffe auf die Aktivisten (aber auch auf ukrainische und pro-ukrainische Teilnehmer) und immer wieder wurden sie als Nazis und Faschisten beschimpft. Eine Teilnehmende von Omas gegen rechts wurde von einem Wagenknecht-Teilnehmer angegangen. Nicht nur, das sie eben nicht friedensbewegt sind, haben sie auch absolut keinen Anstand und Respekt vor der älteren Generation.

 

In einem Video des Journalisten Boris Klinge auf Facebook äußerte sich ein "friedensbewegter" Wagenknecht-Befürworter, das, "wenn es nach ihm ginge, Putin schon 2014 hätte bombardieren und Krieg (nicht "Spezialoperation") anfangen müssen".

Am Rande der Kundgebung gab es eine Auseinandersetzung zwischen Mitgliedern der DIE LINKE rund um Christine Buchholz, die sich lautstark gegen die Teilnahme des rechtsextremen Compact-Herausgebers Jürgen Elsässer wehrten. Dabei gab es von dort Rufe: "Keine Nazis fotografieren", als ich mich den Compact-Leuten näherte. Ob man diese durch nicht fotografieren damit und von der Veranstaltung unsichtbar machen wollte, ließ sich leider nicht mehr in Erfahrung bringen.

 

Um von der Bühne aus fotografieren und filmen zu können, benötigte es eine Akkreditierung. Darauf hatte ich bei dieser Veranstaltung aus guten Gründen verzichtet.

An Ende der Kundgebung kamen alle Beteiligten noch einmal auf die Bühne und es wurde zum Abschluss zu "Imagine" von John Lennon geschunkelt.

 

Nach Beendigung der Kundgebung versammelten sich gut 1.000 Menschen am Potsdamer Platz, um den Tag mit einer Demonstration durch Berlin-Mitte und Kreuzberg mit lauten Trommelklängen aus dem Querdenker-Spektrum ausklingen zu lassen. Diese Demonstration wurde letztendlich auf Berlin-Mitte verkürzt, wie dies die Polizei auf Twitter verkündete. Dort dominierten Compact-Flaggen samt Rechte- und Querdenker-Milieu; Jürgen Elsässer war dort allerdings nicht vertreten.

 

Ann-Katrin Müller vom Hauptstadtbüro DER SPIEGEL bilanzierte den Tag mit folgenden Worten:

Es waren zu sehr großen Teilen die Menschen auf der Straße, die ich schon die letzten Jahre bei Querdenker-Demos und Co gesehen habe: Verschwörungsideologen bis hin zu Q-Anon-Fans, Rechtsextreme, Reichsbürger, Regierungshasser und rechtsoffene Altkommunisten und Friedensbewegte. (...) Von der AfD waren hochrangige Funktionäre da, etwa der sächsische Landeschef Jörg Urban und der Landesvize Hans-Thomas Tillschneider aus Sachsen-Anhalt. Einziger Unterschied zu sonst: Buntere Fahnen und es gab weniger organisierte Neonazi-Kader, zumindest weniger sichtbare. Ansonsten alles wie immer: Russische Fahnen, Lieder und Plakate, dazu lautstarke Häme und Hetze gegenüber der Regierung und Medien.

 

Vizekanzler Robert Habeck (Grüne) kritisierte die Demonstration als eine „Irreführung der Bevölkerung“. „Jeder, der bei Sinnen und Verstand ist, wünscht sich Frieden“, sagte der Bundeswirtschaftsminister in einem ARD-"Brennpunkt". Wagenknecht und die ihr folgenden Leute wollten aber etwas als Frieden verkaufen, das ein „imperialistischer Diktator“ Europa aufzwinge. Wenn sich das durchsetze, wäre das eine Einladung an den russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin, die nächsten Länder zu überfallen.

An afternoon wonder around Flavigny-sur-Ozerain

 

Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is a commune in the French department of Côte-d'Or, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

 

The village was awarded membership in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("France's most beautiful villages").

 

The medieval village of Flavigny is situated on a rocky spur, surrounded by three streams: the Ozerain, the Recluse and the Verpant.

  

The first written mention of the village of Flavigny was in the Latin form of its name, Flaviniacum, which appears in the cartulary (or charter) of the Benedictine abbey founded on the site by a certain Widerard in 719. In the mid-9th century, in response to the increasing frequency of Viking raids, the relics of Saint Reine (or Santa Regina) were removed from the nearby town of Alise to Flavigny in the hopes that they could be better protected in a more fortified setting. The relics remain in Flavigny to this day, although they travel back to Alise every fall for the celebration of the saint's feast day in early September.

 

The town was prosperous during the Middle Ages, catering to large numbers of pilgrims, both those who came to visit the relics of Saint Reine and those on their way to Santiago de Compostela. By the 10th century, the abbey had grown into a town, with a parish church dedicated to St. Genest in addition to the abbey church (dedicated to St Peter). During the 12th and 13th centuries, extensive fortifications were raised around the town; large portions of these walls still surround the village to this day, including the Porte du Val (which includes both an inner gate dating to the 13th century and a sixteenth-century outer gate), and the 15th century Porte du Bourg with its statue of the Virgin. Despite these fortifications, Flavigny was occupied by the English during the Hundred Years' War.

 

In 1632 the Ursuline convent of Flavigny was founded, and in the early 18th century a new residence for the Abbot of Flavigny was constructed. However, by that time the abbacy had become corrupt and was held by a layman who had little to do with the town. At the time of the French Revolution, there may have been as few as five monks in residence. The abbey church was probably already in ruins, although local tradition holds that it suffered damage at the hands of revolutionaries. The parish church, St. Genest, emerged from the Revolution more or less unharmed.

 

In the 21st century, Flavigny has fewer than 400 year-round residents, although this number increases in the summer due to the substantial number of foreigners (Swiss, American, Australian, German) who have summer homes in the village. The abbey now houses the factory which manufactures Les Anis de Flavigny, small aniseed-flavored pastilles distributed worldwide. Various artists and artisans make their homes in the village, and it has become a popular tourist destination.

When I started knitting seriously, I discovered that my grandmother, Irene, had owned a darning egg. My mother and her sisters grew up on a farm, and Mom vividly recalled her mother sitting in the evenings on the farmhouse, diligently darning socks using the wooden darner.

 

My aunt Kathy apparently was given the darning egg when my grandmother died in 1989, and used it in her country-eque decorated homes all over the world. So for a year I patiently hinted and pondered and "mentioned" to my aunts how much I’d like to have Grandma’s darning egg someday. Imagine my surprise when yesterday, an unknown package arrived in the mail for me. It was the darning egg from Aunt Kathy! She had decided to surprise me, instead of tormenting me with the idea of getting it one day if I was nice to her (we are all about blackmail on mom's side of the family).

 

This darning “egg” is actually not egg-shaped at all. It is, in fact, a foot-form wooden darner, a design that was patented in Nov. 1907 and was commonly used in the early to mid-20th century. It has the words “FOOT-FORM” stamped across its top, and you can clearly see how much it was used by the tiny scrapes in the wood. I’m glad to see that these antique foot form “eggs” are often found on eBay for rather affordable prices, so that anyone, if they like, can own a little piece of history.

 

Grandma married my grandfather, Pap-Pap, in 1945, and they left the farm life and moved to the “city” in 1957, when my mother, the middle child, was 9. They bought their first house for $3,000 and were thrilled to have indoor plumbing. I’m sure that my grandmother used this darner for many more years of her life, however. I'll treasure it always.
