The Pashupatinath Temple (Nepali: पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिर) is a famous, sacred Hindu temple dedicated to Pashupatinath and is located on the banks of the Bagmati River 5 kilometres north-east of Kathmandu Valley in the eastern city of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. This temple is considered one of the sacred temples of Hindu faith. The temple serves as the seat of the national deity, Lord Pashupatinath. This temple complex is on UNESCO World Heritage Sites's list Since 1979. This "extensive Hindu temple precinct" is a "sprawling collection of temples, ashrams, images and inscriptions raised over the centuries along the banks of the sacred Bagmati river" and is included as one of the seven monument groups in UNESCO's designation of Kathmandu Valley as a cultural heritage site. One of the major Festivals of the temple is Maha Shivaratri on which day over 700,000 devotees visit here.
The twelve Jyotirlinga (in India) are the body and the Jyotirlinga at Pashupatinath in Kathmandu (Nepal) is the head over this body.
The temple is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams (Holy Abodes of Shiva) on the continent. Kotirudra Samhita, Chapter 11 on the Shivalingas of the North, in Shiva Purana mentions this Shivalinga as the bestower of all wishes.
HISTORY
The temple was erected anew in the 15th century by Lichhavi King Shupuspa after the previous building had been consumed by termites. Countless further temples have been erected around this two -storied temple. These include the Vaishnav temple complex with a Ram temple from the 14th century and the Guhyeshwari Temple mentioned in an 11th-century manuscript.
LEGEND ABOUT THE TEMPLE ORIGIN
Pashupatinath Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in Kathmandu. It is not known for certain when Pashupatinath Temple was founded. But according to Nepal Mahatmaya and Himvatkhanda, the deity here gained great fame there as Pashupati, the Lord of all Pashus, which are living as well as non-living beings. Pashupatinath Temple's existence dates back to 400 A.D. The richly-ornamented pagoda houses the sacred linga or holy symbol of Lord Shiva. There are many legends describing as to how the temple of Lord Pashupatinath came to existence here. Some of them are narrated below:
THE COW LEGEND
Legend says that Lord Shiva once took the form of an antelope and sported unknown in the forest on Bagmati river's east bank. The gods later caught up with him, and grabbing him by the horn, forced him to resume his divine form. The broken horn was worshipped as a linga but overtime it was buried and lost. Centuries later an astonished herdsmen found one of his cows showering the earth with milk. Digging deep at the site, he discovered the divine linga of Pashupatinath.
THE LINCHCHAVI LEGEND
According to Gopalraj Vamsavali, the oldest ever chronicle in Nepal, this temple was built by Supuspa Deva, a Linchchhavi King, who according to the stone inscription erected by Jayadeva 11 in the courtyard of Pashupatinath in 753 AD, happened to be the ruler 39 generations before Manadeva (464-505 AD).
THE DEVALAYA LEGEND
Another chronicle states that Pashupatinath Temple was in the form of Linga shaped Devalaya before Supuspa Deva constructed a five storey temple of Pashupatinath in this place. As the time passed, the need for repairing and renovating this temple arose. It is learnt that this temple was reconstructed by a medieval King named Shivadeva (1099-1126 AD). It was renovated by Ananta Malla adding a roof to it. Thousands of pilgrims from all over the world come to pay homage to this temple, that is also known as 'The Temple of Living Beings'.
OTHER BELIEFS
There are several complex stories involving the origins of Pashupatinath. One story goes, in brief, that Shiva and Parvati came to the Kathmandu Valley and rested by the Bagmati while on a journey. Shiva was so impressed by its beauty and the surrounding forest that he and Parvati changed themselves into deers and walked into the forest. Many spots in the Kathmandu Valley are identified as places where Shiva went during his time as a deer. After a while the people and gods began to search for Shiva. Finally, after various complications, they found him in the forest, but he refused to leave. More complications ensued, but ultimately Shiva announced that, since he had lived by the Bagmati in a deer's form, he would now be known as Pashupatinath, Lord of all animals. It is said that whoever came here and beheld the lingam that appeared there would not be reborn as an animal.
FINDING OF SHIVA LINGA AT PASHIPATINATH TEMPLE
It is said that the wish-fulfilling cow Kamadhenu took shelter in a cave on the Chandravan mountain. Everyday Kamadhenu went down to the place the lingam was sunken into the soil and poured her milk on top of the soil. After ten thousand years some people saw Kamadhenu pouring milk on that same spot everyday, and started to wonder what that would be. So they removed the soil and found the beautiful shining lingam and started worshiping it.

The area of Pashupatinath encompasses 264 hectare of land including 518 temples and monuments. Main pagoda style temple is located in the fortified courtyard within the complex guarded by Nepal Police and has a police outpost post along with living quarter within.

The temple resides on a square base platform with a height of 23m 7 cm from base to pinnacle. It has four main doors, all covered with silver sheets. This temple has a gold pinnacle (Gajur). Inside are two Garbhagrihas, outer and inner. The inner garbhagriha or sanctum sanctorum is where the idol is placed and outer sanctum is an open corridor like space.
THE DEITY
The sacro sanctum, or the main idol is a stone Mukhalinga with a silver yoni base bound with silver serpent. The lingam is one metre high and has faces in four directions. These faces represents various ascepts of Shiva; Sadyojata (also known as Barun), Vamdeva (also known as Ardha nareshwor), Tatpurusha, Aghor & Ishana (imaginative). Facing West, North, East, South and Zenith respectively representing five primary elements namely earth, water, air, light and ether. Each face has tiny protruding hands holding rudraksha mala on right hand and a kamandalu on the other.Unlike other shiva lingams in India and Nepal this pashupati shiva lingam is always Dressed in its golden vastra except during abhishakam, so pouring milk and ganga jal is only possible during abhishakam through the main priests.
PRIESTS
Daily rituals of Pashupatinath are carried out by two sets of priests ;one being the Bhatt priests and other Bhandari. Bhatta or Bhatt are the one who performs the daily ritual and can touch the lingam, where as Bhadaris are the helper and temple care taker priests but are not qualified perform pooja rituals or to touch the deity.
Bhatta or Bhat are highly educated Vedic bhramin Scholars from Brahmin family from South Indian State Karnataka.Unlike other Hindu temples priesthood of Pashupatinath is not hereditary. Priests are selected from a group of scholars educated by Shri Shankaracharya Dakshinamnaya Peeth Sringeri on Rig Vedic Recitation, initiated in Pashupata Yoga by Kashi Math,Shiva Āgama and learned Recitation of Samaveda from Haridwar.After qualifying and fulfilling all those criteria they will be selected for Priesthood by Raj Guru of Pashupatinath Temple undergoing strict examination on Vedas and Shiva Agamas and then the qualifies are sent to Kathmandu for performing Puja and Daily Worship of Lord Shri Pashupatinath This tradition is reported to have started by the request of Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century, who sought to unify the different states of Bharatam (Unified India) by encouraging cultural exchange. This procedure is also followed in other temples around Bharata-varsa which were sanctified by Adi Shankaracharya. The unique feature of this temple is that only 4 Bhatta priests can touch the deity.Current Bhatt priests of the temple are;
Ganesh Bhat (15th head priest of the Pashupatinath Temple aka Mool Bhat) from Udupi.
Ram Karanth Bhat from Mangaluru.
Girish Bhat from Sirsi.
Narayan Bhat(Recently appointed) from Bhatkal
Raghavendra Bhat (Priest for Vasuki Nath temple only)
Bhandaris or Rajbhandari are the treasurers, temple caretakers, and assistant priest of the temple.
These Bhandaris are the descendants of helper priests brought up by early Bhatts, but were allowed to settle in Kathmandu valley and later assimilated in existing Newar caste of Rajbhandari - a high-caste Chathariya/Kshatriya clan of Kashyapa gotra. Their main function is to help the Bhatta priest and perform maintenance of the inner Garbhagriha. They can have little or no Vedic knowledge but still qualify as assistant priests if they belong from the same family lineage and undergo some basic criteria like caste, gotra, lineage purity, educational qualification, etc. They work in set of four and change in every full moon day. There are a total of 108 Bhandaris.

CONTROVERSY OF 2009
In January 2009, after the forced resignation by the chief priest of Pashupatinath temple, the Maoist-led government of Nepal "hand picked" Nepalese priests to lead the temple, thus bypassing the temple's long-standing requirements. This appointment was contested by the Bhandaris of the temple, stating that they were not against the appointment of Nepalese priests but against the appointment without proper procedure. After the appointment was challenged in a civil court, the appointment was overruled by Supreme Court of Nepal.However, the government did not heed the ruling and stood by its decision. This led to public outrage and protests over a lack of transparency. The paramilitary group of the CPN (Maoist), called YCL, attacked the protesters, leading to over a dozen injuries. Lawmakers and activists from opposition parties joined protests, declaring their support for the Bhatta and other pro-Bhatta protesters. After long dissatisfaction and protest by Hindus both in and outside Nepal, the government was forced to reverse its decision that had been declared illegal by the Supreme Court of Nepal and reinstate Bhatta priests.
2015 EARTHQUAKE
The main temple complex of Pashupatinath and the sanctum sanctorum was left untouched but some of the outer buildings in the World Heritage Site were damaged by the April 2015 Nepal earthquake.
WIKIPEDIA
The British South Africa Police (BSAP) was formed in 1889 by Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company as the British South Africa Company Police; the "company" was dropped from the title in 1896 when they started operating independently. They had a policing and paramilitary role. In 1980 they were renamed the Zimbabwe Republic Police and senior white officers were rapidly replaced with black officers.
Many white Rhodesians, by the late 1970s, were fed up with the guerrilla war, and sanctions against them by the international community. Whilst there was a majority determined to "tough it out" come what may, there was also a significant number who had had enough and, correctly guessing that things were not going to end well, emigrated, creating a Rhodesian diaspora.
Naturally, those determined to stay looked unfavourably on those who, in their words, had "gapped it". This was derived from the fact that Salisbury (Harare) was about 500 miles from the border crossing point with South Africa at Beitbridge, also known as the Beitbridge Gap. Thus, those who left the country were said to have "done the Beitbridge 500", or "gapped it".
Some of the cartoons display a racist streak.
This book of satirical cartoons was designed to gently mock these "deserters" and remind them of their heritage and what they were leaving behind. Some cartoons also take swipes at America and Britain and other organisations on whom Rhodesians blamed their woes.
In 1980 it all came crashing down following Mugabe's landslide election after the British Commonwealth Ceasefire & Elections Monitoring Operation, known as Operation Agila. "Gapping it" was to become much more popular.

agora que a terra é redonda

o mundo não é plano, não pára de girar
agora que o tempo é relativo
não há tempo perdido, não há tempo a perder
num piscar de olhos tudo se transforma
tá vendo? já passou!
mas ao mesmo tempo
fica o sentimento
de um mundo sempre igual
igual ao que já era
de onde menos se espera
dali mesmo é que não vem
agora que tudo está exposto
a máscara e o rosto trocam de lugar
tô fora se esse é o caminho
se a vida é um filme não conheço diretor
tô fora, sigo o meu caminho
às vezes tô sozinho, quase sempre tô em paz
num piscar de olhos tudo se transforma
tá vendo? já passou!
mas ao mesmo tempo
esse mundo em movimento
parece não mudar
é igual ao que já era

I LOVE this little guy. Remember the giant baby in Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi)? This is Boh when he's been transformed into a rat. I don't think he ever knits in the film, but I love to knit and when I found this at an anime shop in Ohio many years ago, I had to buy it. He's traveled with me ever since, inhabiting every dormroom I've lived in and my current apartment.
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.

The Global Stars team provide spectacular formation air displays or solo air displays. For 2016 Mark has purchased the very latest, highest performance certified aircraft the EXTRA 330SC. The team have flown many flying displays and air shows around the World in recent years. Typically the Global Stars team lead by Mark Jefferies perform 3 International shows per year. Tom flying as formation leader of the Global Stars. The team have flown Bahrain, Hyderabad and Ahmadabad in 2016. Bookings for 2017 now in for China with the World Formation Championships, 1-3rd May 2017.
Mark is flying the new EXTRA 330SC; Tom flies the Extra 300L or CAP 232, Michael Pickin flying the CAP 232, Steve the Extra 260 and reserver pilot Chris Burkett in teh Extra 300S will put on a stunning, world-class air display. Mark Jefferies has achieved great success and worldwide recognition as one of the most accomplished aviators in the UK; including 1st in Zhengzhou 2015 WAM, 3rd in the 2011 WAM, ranked 8th in the World in 2007 and 10th in the World 2009. Nine times British aerobatic champion (Advanced & Unlimited). Mark Jefferies has spectacular manoeuvres, tumbles and spins in the Extra 330SC leaving pilots and spectators alike saying “how did he do that?” A flying display your audience will never forget… No show too large or small to attend. Corporate, Weddings and private parties a specialty – it’s not as expensive as you might first think and far better than fireworks. I’ve even got fireworks on the wings !
Mark bases his Extra 330SC at Little Gransden, Cambridgeshire ( ICAO EGMJ ) Gransden is a farm strip and has a main grass runway of 810 meters. The airfield is open to visitors either by road or by air. Gransden is the home of the Global Stars and as such, most likely you will find some aerobatic training taking place. Duel training in the Extra 300L or solo competition/air show training in the Extra 300s or 330sc.
International shows in the last few years have been:- Al Ain UAE, Avalon Australia, Ahmadabad India x 2, Bahrain, Sanicole Belgium, Dazu + Zhuhai + Zhengzhou China, Dubai, Finland, Ahmadabad + Hyderabad India x 2, Iceland, New Zealand, Malta, Maribor Slovinia, Romania, Roskilde Denmark, Volkel Holland, Wanaka New Zealand.
I'm designing some "japanese forms" badges... This is the second one. I'm working on a couple of other designs as I'm not quite satisfied with the results so far. I'll be posting a photo of the 3.0 one soon as I already have it. The 4.0 & 5.0 are still at the template stage.
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.
This lichen prouces soredia, small roughly spherical units made up of fungal hyphae and algal cells that are capable of reproducing the lichen assexually. In this case, the soredia are produced in localized regions of the thallus, rather confusingly called soralia (sing. soralium). The soralia are the more or less circular raised patches with a mealy texture seen in this image

This set of photos is a try to capture the mood and feeling of some things we’ve got at home. I didn’t want to photograph the whole, but rather some details that would give out the mood of the object. For this I used the 5D with the 100mm macro lens. All shot handheld with available light.
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.

Cassia roxburghii is a graceful tree with drooping branches that appear to be weighed down by its prolific canopy of clusters of pink, rose or orange flowers in axillary and terminal, often branched, racemes. The flower petals are approximately 1.3cm long.
Here in Cardwell in Tropical North Queensland,Australia where I saw this variety of this tree the upper surfaces of the branches were laden with pinkish orange flowers. The flowers were smaller than Cassia javanica, with conspicuous yellow stamens.
I later photographed a similar tree but with red flowers a few streets away after the owner of this tree directed me to the location.
The 2 slightly differently coloured flowering trees I saw were obviously young and no doubt would eventually get much larger. Red cassia or Ceylon Senna, as it is sometimes called, is native to Sri Lanka and southern India.

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.
A funerary monument in the form of a Corinthian temple is a very impressive construction dating from the Roman period. It is located inside the courtyard of the “Old Fish Market” which was restored to be used as an open-air museum in 1995 CE.
Iassos
The ancient Greek city of Iassos is an extensive multi-period site located on the shores of the Iassos gulf (Gulf of Güllük) halfway between Didyma to the north and Halicarnassus to the south. Once situated on an island, the city is now joined to the mainland, creating a peninsula. According to tradition, Iasos was colonized, possibly in the 9th or 8th century BCE, by Greeks from Argos (the Dorians) but archaeological evidence shows that the site of Iassos had been inhabited since the Neolithic period and that it flourished as one of the great Minoan and Mycenaean settlements in Asia Minor. Prosperity continued throughout the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods and many of the remains date from the later periods.
