Fun event raises money for our Advent Appeal
Another very successful Sixth Form fancy dress day was recently held at St. Mary’s Menston. Over 250 students and staff arrived for lessons in multi-coloured costumes, each one donating £10 to the school’s annual Advent Appeal, proceeds from which will be sent to St. Gemma’s Hospice, CAFOD, Catholic Care and Martin House. A total of £1700 was raised on the day. This year again there were many different imaginative and creative costumes, some made by the students themselves including Aladdin on his magic carpet, nuns, sheiks, pirates, elves, flower pot men, gorillas, bears and cup-cakes to name but a few. The staff, not to be outdone, also joined in with some departments following a particular theme.
“Standing at the front of the hall delivering an assembly can sometimes be an off-putting experience; looking up from your notes and seeing Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men, bananas in pyjamas, giant-sized tetras boxes or a row of cupcakes, might be enough to put anyone off their lines. Congratulations to Paddy Spiller, our guest speaker from CAFOD who didn’t miss a beat when addressing a Year 11 and Year 13 assembly on Friday, our Fancy Dress day! Each student is to be commended for their generosity and for creating a very happy day for all in our school.”
Mr Sinnett, Director of Sixth Form
This event is not the only one planned by the Sixth Form students to raise as much money as possible this year. A Rich Man Poor Man lunch is planned for the end of the week where pupils and staff purchasing a ‘rich’ ticket win a hearty meal whilst a ‘poor’ ticket merits a cup of soup. A Sixth Form 5-a-side Football match also raised £150.
Over the course of the Advent period, the whole school community will be involved in fund raising activities with the aim of raising £10,000 for our four charities.

Located on the grounds of the New York Hall of Science, this distinctive sculpture, dating to 1964, is by the modernist sculptor Theodore Roszak (1907–1981). It was commissioned as part of the permanent sculptural program of the New York World’s Fair of 1964-65.
Forms in Transit is a 43-foot long sculpture of aluminum and steel tubes and sheet metal. It suggests an aircraft, with fuselage and wings, but it is also meant to embody the concept of motion and change. The work is in keeping with one of the central themes of the fair, space exploration, and complemented several other significant features in the park, such as The Rocket Thrower statue, Court of Astronauts, Fountain of the Planets, Space Park and The Unisphere.
Portions of a damaged wing were removed in 1970. Though environmental corrosion is evident, some of the patchy, blistered surface of the sculpture appears to be original to the piece, and intended to suggest the incendiary voyage of the vessel as it passes at rapid speed through the atmosphere.
This is not the statues original location, although it is close to it. It was originally in the vicinity of the Chrysler and Transportation & Travel Pavilions, about 1/10 mile to the south.

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
I'm asking him to change his ways."
Its been quite a week. Quite a time without posting.
I've been very uninspired.
I've spent the past 8 months or so really trying to push myself to new heights.
Pushing to try and see myself through the mess of the world.
Sometimes when I photograph myself it pushes me to new places.
When I try to put myself in the vulnerable spot of being my own subject then I can really get in my head.
I've had, like I said, a crazy week.
But in the craziness I decided it was time to face the issues of me I have avoided dealing with for months.
I am putting me in front.
For the change that needs to continue to happen now that I could very easily find myself in old patterns.
But I wont let that happen.
So I am pushing myself and these are helping me do that.
I also believe this is the debut of my new, and unfinished ink...
If you haven't read Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk you really should.
It's where this comes from.
It's my favorite ink, hands down.
There is a sound of thunder afar,
Storm in the South that darkens the day!
Storm of battle and thunder of war!
Well if it do not roll our way.
Storm, Storm, Riflemen form!
Ready, be ready against the storm!
Riflemen, Riflemen, Riflemen form!
Be not deaf to the sound that warns,
Be not gull’d by a despot’s plea!
Are figs of thistles? or grapes of thorns?
How can a despot feel with the Free?
Form, Form, Riflemen Form!
Ready, be ready to meet the storm!
Riflemen, Riflemen, Riflemen form!
Let your reforms for a moment go!
Look to your butts, and take good aims!
Better a rotten borough or so
Than a rotten fleet and a city in flames!
Storm, Storm, Riflemen form!
Ready, be ready against the storm!
Riflemen, Riflemen, Riflemen form!
Form, be ready to do or die!
Form in Freedom’s name and the Queen’s
True we have got—such a faithful ally
That only the Devil can tell what he means.
Form, Form, Riflemen Form
Ready, be ready to meet the storm!
Riflemen, Riflemen, Riflemen form!

================================
In response to the Congressional budget debacle which proved that DC is but a colony -- prone to being singled out unlike any other city in the country -- a number of activists, elected officials, and general citizens came out in force upon the grounds of Capitol Hill.
The crowd first formed on the sidewalk, but after some opening remarks by elected officials and activists: they quickly spilled into the street. The Capitol Police had been on hand & I'd thought it amusing that a couple were taking photos & videos... it wasn't until I saw the wristbands come out when I realised these weren't officers enjoying the moment; they were recording evidence.
With many minutes of warning, large portions of the group shifted over the sidewalk; whilst a core of dedicated supporters -- including our Mayor, a number of councilmembers, and members of DC Vote -- remained behind to block the roadway. The officers began to surround the group & repeated their warnings to get back on the sidewalk or face arrest.
Now in all fairness to the Capitol Police: they were doing their job. They were quite courteous about it & the protest was similarly jubilant right back. One woman was first to be bound, soon followed by several other activists. Then came Muriel Bowser: first councilmember to be arrested.
In general, I tend to dislike political grandstanding... but this was different. If our council was being arrested by our own police, I'd think it a cheesy photo op... but now our locally-elected officials were being arrested by the very forces we were out to protest: the Feds. This wasn't a mere photo op arrest; this was actually a legitimate arrest... the kind of thing that goes on your record; the kind of thing you spent a night in jail for.
Now granted, I don't expect anyone will be in jail longer than tomorrow; I'd be surprised if any were still locked up by midnight tonight. But it was Councilmember Bowser's arrest which really hit a moment... you could see the look on her face was of some worried concern: someone who had never been arrested before & didn't show up here today expecting to be arrested. As she was placed into the police van: her look of concern changed to a bit more worry. I mean this as no knock against Councilmember Bowser's committment; rather I felt it really help to humanise the entire event. It made me respect her all the more.
Yvette Alexander stood right beside us for quite some time, complicated in that she didn't have her ID on her. While it was entertaining to see our top officials being frisked, it was also quite entertaining that our easily-recognisable councilmember needed her ID... prompting a standerby to call one of her staffers with the best introduction I've ever heard over a phone: "Hi, your councilmember has been arrested." Also, kudos to Councilmember Alexander for going to jail in high heels!
There is a lot I can complain about with the council in general; and certainly with individual councilmembers & even the mayor. Heck, that's what politicians are for: you're not supposed to always like them. But this was an opportunity to set aside some of those issues (frankly, I'd say DC was glad to have a unifying moment after the past couple weeks) and cheer on our own brothers & sisters as they stood up in support of our rights.
It was certainly a proud moment to be a DC resident and a fine boost to our collective esteem after several weeks of turmoil within our local & federal levels of government. It's aggravating that my support for small & local government is inhibited by those in Congress whom advocate small & local government. If I wanted to live in a colony, I'd have moved to Williamsburg.
Zum sechsten Mal fand der „Tag der deutschen Zukunft“(TDDZ) statt, einem bundesweiten Neonazi-Event in Form einer Demonstration. Bisher wurde nur in Norddeutschland demonstriert. Im sechsten Jahr war die Stadt Dresden an der Reihe und auch hier konnten die Neonazis relativ ungestört mit weniger als 500 Teilnehmern laufen.
Nach vielen Reden auf der Abschlusskundgebung wurde angekündigt ,wo der TDDZ 2015 stattfinden wird: Neuruppin, Brandenburg.
Ein Brandenburger Bereitschaftsbeamte reagierte auf die Frage was er dazu sage, dass im kommenden Jahr die Neonazis durch sein Bereich marschieren wollen: „Na weit werden die nicht kommen!“
Gegendemonstranten versuchten zwar in das Aufmarschgebiet zu gelangen, doch bis auf etwa 80 Personen kam kaum einer durch, da die Polizei mit 2000 Beamten (Unterstützung kam aus folgenden Bundesländern: Hamburg, Niedersachsen, Brandenburg, Berlin, Sachsen-Anhalt, Thüringen, Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Nordrhein-Westfalen sowie der Bundespolizei) das Gebiet gut unter Kontrolle hatte.
Ebenfalls unter Kontrolle hatte die Polizei, durch Kräfte der BFE Niedersachsen und Sachsen, auch eine Gruppe von etwa 100-150 norddeutschen Antifaschisten, welche in einem spontanen Demonstrationszug in der Nähe der ursprünglichen Route durch die Straßen liefen.
Angereist waren Antifaschisten aus verschiedenen Gebieten Deutschlands, doch es waren deutlich weniger als sonst im Febraur.
Der wohlmöglich bald in Haft gehenden Neonazi, Dieter Riefling, konnte so den Tag als Erfolg feiern. Die Neonazis liefen ohne Probleme durch die „Freie Stadt Dresden“. Zwar waren es weniger als die erwarteten tausend, doch die Zahl der Neonazis beim TDDZ bleibt konstant im mittleren dreistelligen Bereich. Die Gegenprotestierenden feiern dies als Erfolg, doch es ist objektiv betrachtet eine Niederlage.
Die Antifaschisten konnten nichts ausrichten und bleiben, wie andern Orts, bei der Taktik „Bloß nicht in die Innenstadt“, da diese prestigträchtig sei. Stattdessen stört es die Organisatoren nicht spürbar, dass die Neonazis durch bewohntes Randgebiet gelaufen sind und zum Teil sogar Zuspruch aus den Häusern bekam. Lieber lobt man die „Kampagnenarbeit“ (die Mobilisierung fing erst wenige Wochen vorher ernsthaft an, obwohl der Termin und die Stadt seit einem Jahr bekannt war) und das die Innenstadt Nazifrei blieb. Die oft kritisierte Stadt hätte dies mit Menschen- und Lichterketten sicher nicht besser hinbekommen, doch brauch dieses nicht mehr, da offensichtlich die radikale Linke vor der Polizeitaktik kapituliert und sich auf städtische PR-Arbeit konzentriert.
Gleichzeitig versuchen sie ihren Misserfolg damit zu kaschieren, dass bei den Neonazis die Zahlen der Demonstranten „weiter rückläufig“ seien. Sowohl letztes Jahr in Wolfsburg, wie auch das Jahr davor in Hamburg waren es „nur“ etwa 500 Neonazis. Bei einer gleichbleibenden Tendenz an Teilnehmerzahlen zwischen 400-500 Personen seit drei Jahren, muss man von Konstanz sprechen und nicht beschönigend von „rückläufig“.
Wie üblich also keine Selbstkritik, kein Eingestehen der Niederlage, sondern ein hochjubeln und freuen – bloß den Anschein bewahren dass Dresden Nazifrei bleibt…

The Presidential Palace was originally white (03/05/2011, 12:50)
In 1992 have been divided the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and Bratislava again became the capital of a sovereign state. There was a need to place many institutions, particularly domestic, but also representations of other states and international organizations. In Bratislava they were not sufficiently prepared.
This became especially at a time evident when the newly elected President of the Republic where did officiate. Residence, fortunately, did not need to, because there had their own house, but there could not officiate again and place all the staff of his office. The first area has received office of the President at the Castle. It was a temporary "accommodation" in poor areas, sometimes life-threatening. Especially when someone care so close to the president dropped a heavy chandelier.
The situation is partly solved by the then mayor, who under the pressure of the Slovak public with the president partially restored in just the town hall - at the Primate's Palace. Although it was clear that the town hall of the capital anywhere in the world is based head of state. Mr. President, the mayor is uskromnili, and despite the problems that have coexistence implies (guard, jointly used facilities, movement and site visitors in the city center, a demonstration in the square before the palace), this situation lasted for several years.
Despite the resistance of some groups of people are able to carry out the idea that the seat of the President and the office of President shall be the historical Presidential previously Grassalkovichov and Friedrich palace. But it was in a dilapidated condition. From the 50ties to 80ties years it housed the Communist youth organization, the palace was known as a pioneer, Pioneer House official Klement Gottwald. Before the revolution the palace was empty and for years afterwards. Consideration was given to even the demolition of its western part, containing the chapel, because it should enhance the defenders of peace Street (Štefánikova). After the revolution began with the restoration of the palace to the appropriate kind of unnecessary Gallery of Modern Art. Only be created small attic apartment accommodation for President of Czechoslovakia (!) during his visit to Bratislava.
Restoration of the palace for old-new features presidential residence took place between 1992 and 1995 with the greatest possible respect for the principles of historic preservation. The aim was to return to the palace and the accompanying park as close to its form after 1770. Meant to eliminate interference and remodeling, especially from the period after 1938 and a period of pioneers. In the forties overlaid the entire ground floor of the palace romantic rectangles of travertine that although there were visually quite spectacular, but causing excessive wetting of the ground floor rooms of the palace basement. The chapel was barred light rail, it was in storage. Some rooms have been divided into more areas. The vaulted rooms on the ground floor adjacent to the central garden rooms (towards Banskobystricka street ) was the central heating boiler. The huge depressions in the floor concrete tank used to supply coke imported through the park near the city gasworks (per square Kollar). Parquet and stone floors were destroyed maximum, wood paneling walls of 18 century damaged. From the original mobile device palace there were before reconstruction only chandeliers. For the entire building was only preserved box of 18th century!
Part of the reconstruction of the palace was the device state rooms or historicist historical furniture. According to the model interior presidential office in Vienna, Prague, Paris has sought and bought furniture stylistic corresponding reconstructed interior. Where appropriate furniture and carpets found, they were suitable to produce copies. Installed furniture of 17th to 19th century was harmonically aligned with the decoration of the walls and curtains on the windows. Into the drawing room of President shall be purchased as a quality historic seating forms of classicism in the late 18th century. Because it was similar, but not identical nest (in the past were made earlier "solo pieces"), they were reconstructed deliberately pulled two color mutations of the same (very high quality and very expensive) upholstery, imported from Paris. Today it some workers agents who have no concept of historical interiors criticize.
To state rooms they can produce replicas of historic tiled stoves with built-in devices to their electrical tempering. It was assumed that at the palace along these lines will continue. The main hall has been missing console tables with marble tops under the mirrors between the windows. Console tables amongst the drawing room windows are damaged because of the lack of other tables are sometimes used as a signature tables. The work of the panel, which then zariaďovala palace, often later tampering negated. The library appeared slushy "Globe" bar containing equipment. Wonder where they left off from Thonet chairs, made for Palace, coated with a special non-flammable fabric, designed in the main hall for visitors to concerts.
The problem seemed to use white paint on the facade of the palace. Before reconstruction was used for each run of the mill yellow to brown color that if the facades of houses in the historic center of the city prevailed. Knew that in 18 century such color there, could not be produced. Historical images and analogies from other cities (Vienna, Ljubljana, Prague, Gödöllő) pointed out that the palace was originally white. This is confirmed by historical plaster pieces that survive from the 18th century in small pieces under modern stone cladding of ground floor (all other plaster around otĺkli in 1958 and replaced with a new cement). Today we know quite well that the palace was in the 18th century really white. This is confirmed by studies at the Royal Palace in the Castle, and the building of the Hungarian royal courtly chamber on Michalska Street (University Library), and research on other facades of 18 century in Bratislava, Trnava and other places.

Kirtipur (Nepali: कीर्तिपुर, Nepal Bhasa: किपू Kipu) is an ancient city in Nepal. It is located in the Kathmandu Valley 5 km south-west of the city of Kathmandu. It is one of the five municipalities in the valley, the others being Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Madhyapur Thimi.
ETYMOLOGY
The name Kirtipur comes from Kirti (glory) and pur (city).
DEMOGRAPHICS
Originally a Newar foundation, Kirtipur is still a center of Newar culture. It has been merged with surrounding villages to form the municipality of Kirtipur with a population of 67,171.
It consists of many temples, gumbas (Buddhist monastery) and churches too. Due to the presence of Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur is also a popular area for out-of-town students and professors to rent houses and they are major contributors to the local economy.
HISTORY
Kirtipur's history dates from 1099 AD. It was part of the territory of Lalitpur at the time of the invasion of the Kathmandu Valley by the Gorkhali king Prithvi Narayan Shah in the 18th century.
In 1767, Kirtipur was annexed to the Gorkhali kingdom by Prithvi Narayan following the Battle of Kirtipur. He took the town on his twenty third attempt, after entering it by trickery. After this, he cut off the noses and lips of everybody in the city.
This was the site of an inspirational peaceful demonstration of the people in the 2006 mass uprising that overthrew the powers of the king. It is considered to be an anti-monarchy city due to its bitter history against the Shah dynasty whose modern founder conquered the city insultingly, which was followed by negligence of the administration and development by subsequent rulers.
PLACES OF INTEREST
BAGH BHAIRAB
Bagh Bhairab temple is one of the most popular temples dedicated to the God Bhairab in the form of a tiger. This god is regarded as the guardian of Kirtipur and the locals call it Ajudeu, a grandfather god. Bhairab, the most terrifying and awful form of Shiva is the destroyer on one hand and the guardian on the other. Ceremonial rituals in relation to the important events of life such as rice-feeding, puberty, marriage and even the construction of houses cannot be done without propitiating this deity in most of the towns and cities of Nepal.
The present three storeyed temple of Bagh Bhairab probably built in 16th century stands in the brick-paved rectangular courtyard with the rest houses around it. There are some small shrines and stone images spread over the courtyard. The main gate is at the southern side. There are two other gates in the eastern and western sides. The two roofs of the temple are of tiles while the third one is covered with gilt-copper. There are wooden pillars carved with Hindu gods and goddesses. They have been erected in between windows of the second storey and the names of the carved deities have been finely cut out below them on the pedestals.
There are eighteen pinnacles-one in the first roof, six in the middle and eleven in the top roof. Beneath the eaves of the first roof there are very old but faded murals depicting the stories of Ramayan. Maha Bharat and the various manifestations of Durga, the mighty mother goddess. These paintings are frescoes in red with white plaster background. At the right side of the main gate of the temple there is Hifa Dyo, the god of blood sacrifice is allowed directly to Bagh Bhairab, all animal offerings to the deity are made here on behalf of this deity just as the animal sacrifices are made to Kumari, a stone idol, placed at the second gate in the left side of Chandeswori at Banepa and to the Chhetrapal which is at the very beginning of the final series of the steps to the temple of Khadga Jogini at Sankhu.
There are two torans over Hifa Dyo. They bear very fine cuttings of Asta-Matriks, Asta-Bhairabs and other gods and goddesses. In the western wall of the temple there is a hollow space regarded by the local people as Nasa Dyo, the god of music and dance. Bagh Bhairab made of clay has been enshrined in the left side corner in the temple. The three glass-eyed tiger-god is tongue-less and tooth-less but covered with silver and copper plates and heavily ornamented. This deity as mentioned in the stone inscriptions has been called Bagheswor (the tiger god), Bhimsen Bhattarak (Bhimsen, the governing deity), Gudei Sthanadhipati (the lord in the form of tiger) and Ajudyo(the ancestral god).
The local peoples hail this deity as the embodiment of prudence, knowledge, productivity and strength to resist all evils. Hence, the auspicious ceremonies such as weddings, hair-cuttings, rice-feedings and other ritual performances in Kirtipur are done only after a puza to this deity.
CHILANCHO STUPA
A Buddhist shrine, is situated on the southern hill. It is located in Kirtipur, Nepal. It was made in medieval period. An inscription of Nepal Samvat 635 is found in this Chaitya. Therefore, it is one of the most important historical stupa of this region.
UMA MAHESHWAR
Uma Maheshwar temple (locally, Kwacho Dega) is one of the important heritage sites of Kirtipur. This pagoda-style three-storied temple is situated at the highest point (1414 m) of Kirtipur. Since this temple is at the top of the hill, one can enjoy picturesque view of the Kathmandu valley and mountains like Langtang, Dorge Lakkpa, Chobhu Bhamure, and Gaurishankar.
The temple was constructed in 1655 AD by Rautra Vishwanath Babu, a son of king Sidhhi Narsinga Malla. It was destructed in an earthquake in 1832 AD. After remained dilapidated for about a century, it was restored in 1933 AD after it was again destroyed by an earthquake. Local people and government made a herculean effort to renovate it into the current state. The restoration process was completed only in 1982 AD. Recently, in 2008 some work was done to preserve the arts of temple.
There is an artistic stone gate at the entrance. On each side of the stone staircase leading to the temple, there is a stone elephant, with sculptures of Bhimsen and Kuber as protectors of the temple. The main deities in this temple are standing Lord Shiva and Parvati. There are other images of deities like Sarasvati and Mahismardini on false doors around temple.
The wooden doors, pillars, and beams are crafted with artistic figures of different gods and goddess such as Astamatrika and Asta Bhairav. Similarly, erotic figures are also carved in wooden beams. According to archeologists, these figures on beams have tantric values.
The bell on the northern side of temple was cast in 1895 by Gillett & Johnston Founders, Corydon. It was one of the four quarter bells of Ghantaghar of the central Kathmandu and was reallocated to this temple after the Ghantaghar was destroyed by the earthquake in 1933.
