St George in the East

 

Situated in Cannon Street Road, Whitechapel, London E1 0BH.

It was built between 1714 and 1729 with the funding from an Act of Parliament. It is one of the six London churches designed and built by famous architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.

The church was very expensive to build, at the cost of nearly £20k, it was designed to seat over 1,000 people.

In and around 1800, major work was done on the entrance steps. In 1820 a new vault was added, also the churchyard was drained. In 1829 the church was re-roofed. In 1871, box pews were removed in order to install new seating.

In 1880, 5 Venetian glass mosaics were installed in the apse, illustrating passion and resurrection scenes. The organ which was in poor state had to be rebuilt and between 1881-1886 this was completed by the firm Gray and Davidson.

In 1941 during the blitz the church received a direct hit from a bomb. The interior was destroyed by a severe fire that swept through the building. Fortunately the walls and towers survived intact. The mosaics were also saved but had to be restored.

A new interior was completed in 1964, designed by Arthur Bailey. The design, a much more simple plan.

Scenes from the film ‘The Long Good Friday’ were filmed in and around the churchyard.

Los Redentoristas, fundados por San Alfonso Liguori, llegaron a Nueva Orleans por invitación del obispo Antoine Blanc en 1843 y finalmente se establecieron en el área originalmente conocida como Lafayette. A medida que pasaban los años y crecía una población diversa, se construyeron tres iglesias como parte de lo que se conocería como Parroquia de San Alfonso: una iglesia para los irlandeses (Iglesia de San Alfonso), una iglesia para los alemanes (San Iglesia de la Asunción de María) y una iglesia para los franceses (Bon Secour). Las tres iglesias en una parroquia fueron y continúan siendo atendidas por los Redentoristas.

 

A medida que pasaron los años y la población cambió, solo una de las tres iglesias (la Iglesia de la Asunción de Santa María) todavía se usa hoy en la Misa y la administración de los Sacramentos. La iglesia de Bon Secour fue desmantelada hace muchos años y la iglesia de San Alfonso sigue siendo restaurada gradualmente y actualmente se está utilizando para una variedad de actividades culturales que destacan el papel único que tiene y sigue desempeñando en la vida de Nueva Orleans. Construida en 1858 por inmigrantes alemanes en testimonio de su fe y como una orgullosa declaración de que estuvieron aquí para quedarse, la Iglesia de la Asunción St. Mary's, que sirve como la iglesia sacramental activa de la parroquia, es reconocida como un Monumento Histórico Nacional. El arte y la arquitectura revelan el espíritu desenfrenado de un pueblo que llegó con raíces y los plantó profundamente en Nueva Orleans.

Weißrückenspecht - White backed woodpecker

 

Der Weißrückenspecht ist der größte Vertreter unserer schwarz-weißen Spechte. Man bekommt ihn jedoch nur selten zu sehen, denn er bewohnt abgelegene Bergwälder in den Alpen und ist scheuer als der ebenfalls in den Alpen heimische Dreizehenspecht.

 

Der stark-gefährdete Specht bewohnt Laub- und Mischwälder mit hohem Totholzanteil. In artenarmen Forsten fühlt er sich daher weniger wohl und sucht Bergwälder auf, die aufgrund ihrer Extremlage wirtschaftlich nicht genutzt werden.

MIS PRIMERAS FOTOS DE NUESTRO GAVILAN ENDEMICO EN EL PLAN PILOTO DE REINTRODUCCION DE LA ESPECIE EN PUNTA CANA!!

Un dia maravilloso junto a Sergio Bitrán nuestro invitado de honor y junto a los amigos Dax Roman, Huascar Perez, Tony Parra y Arturo Mendez.

 

Endémico de República Dominicana, el gavilán de La Hispaniola (Buteo ridgwayi) se encuentra en peligro de extinción, con menos de 350 ejemplares registrados. Como gran parte de esta población se encuentra restringida al Parque Nacional Los Haitises, se trata del halcón estudiado más amenazado del mundo, de acuerdo con estudios realizados por The Peregrine Fund, organización internacional sin fines de lucro dedicada desde 1970 al estudio y protección de las aves rapaces.

 

Por este motivo, la especie está incluida en la Lista Roja de Especies local y en la lista roja de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN). ¿Existe en el país algún programa para evitar que desaparezca? Sí. El proyecto Conservación del Gavilán de La Hispaniola mantiene iniciativas de monitoreo, reintroducción y educación ambiental orientadas a enfrentar las amenazas y preservar su hábitat.

 

Este proyecto es ejecutado por la Fundación Propa-Gas en alianza con The Peregrine Fund y la colaboración de la Fundación Punta Cana, el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y el Parque Zoológico Nacional. Según explica la Fundación Propa-gas, estas iniciativas buscan sensibilizar sobre el cuidado del gavilán, garantizar la preservación de su hábitat, monitorear sus desplazamientos, brindar atención veterinaria a la población de ejemplares en su hábitat natural y procurar su reintegración a las nuevas áreas.

 

La reintroducción desde los Haitises donde el ave estaba confinada hasta hace poco hacia la parte este del país, especificamente en Punta Cana, donde se lleva un programa monitorizado de la especie con mucho éxito conducido por Thomas Hayes, Coordinador del Proyecto Halcón del gavilán de la Hispaniola y biólogo de campo.

A terramundi photographed for Smile on Saturday. The idea with a terramundi is that you write a wish on a scrap of paper and that’s the first thing to go in there. You then save and when the terramundi is full you smash it open and spend the money saved on whatever you wished for. Being a thrifty Yorkshire man I didn’t smash mine but carved a hole so I could use it again. I had wished for health and happiness (both free) which I’m lucky to have despite the pandemic.

The Environmental Defense Fund has published these reminders. They are a great organization and I hope they don't mind me spreading the word.

What's this, an invitation? To the Annual Fund-Raiser's Ball? Sanura stared at the invitation in her hand, all white and pristine. "Why would I get such an invitation?" She asks herself. "I'm not rich, nor do I have social standings in that community." She continues to stare at the invitation, a look of bewilderment on her face. The name on the card was definitely hers. How though, and why? She just could not understand why she would be invited to such a high end event. At any rate it was her name, and it looked official. Now her only problem, a dress. How could she afford a formal dress? On her salary, it was just impossible ...

 

Two days till the Ball and still no dress, "I guess I just won't go." Sanura tells herself. She turns her head to the knock at her door, moving to the door quickly. She opens the door to find a delivery man standing there, with a sizable package in his hand.

"Your name Sanura?" the man asks. When she nods, he replies. "Good sign here please," as he hands her a clipboard.

Sanura signs the paper, asking. "What is it?" When the man doesn't answer, but only offers a shrug of his shoulders; she nods a farewell and closes the door. She rushes to the couch to open the package, and gasps at what she sees. A beautiful white, silky formal dress. She holds it up to herself and twirls around, then sways back and forth as if she were dancing with someone. Wait, she thinks to herself; who could have sent this to me? She searches the box for a card, or something that might tell her who would give her such and expensive dress. Nothing, not a single clue, as to who ...

 

Is the night of the ball, and there is the cab. Time to go Sanura, she tells herself. She takes one last look at herself and with a satisfied nod, heads to the cab.

The entire way there, things ran through her mind. Like, why me, who would wish me there? What if it's a mistake? Will they throw me out? Maybe I should just have the cabby turn the car around. When she arrives at the large mansion, all her thoughts just fly out the window. As a child she had always dreamed of living in such a large beautiful home. Now to be able to actually visit one, to be at a regal party inside one. All she could do was look in awe at the building before her. When the cabby spoke she nearly jumped out of her skin. She payed the guy, and stepped out of the car, walking slowly to the entrance ...

 

Two hours had passed, and Sanura had been having the time of her life. She danced with numerous men, some young, some old, and some around her own age. She didn't mind, she was just happy to be here. She ate some of the finest gourmet food she had ever tasted before. Talked with some of the most interesting people she had ever met. Now she was standing, sort of in a corner, just taking it all in. She had been watching a couple, that appeared to her to be from India possibly; their attire surely caused that assumption. When out of the corner of her eye, she saw him. He was absolutely gorgeous, shoulder length black hair. Bright blue eyes, that she could see from clear across the room. A well styled and kept goatee, and what looked to be a very expensive tux. His eyes, those ice blue eyes. They seemed to look straight through her, and a shiver ran right down her spine. The dream played in reverse in her mind, and she barely took a breath. Was this her dream, was this man from the dream? Surely she was in her bed at this very moment, and this was nothing more then that very dream. The panic she felt was more then enough to make her run. She ran straight through the crowd and down the long steps, to the street, where she caught the first cab that stopped. When she reached her apartment, she slammed the door, leaning against it. Her breathing was so fast and heavy, her chest was rising and falling as if she had ran a mile straight. When she had finally calmed herself and made her way to her room, she rested her head on her pillow, closing her eyes; hoping this night would be different. "Please, not tonight." The only words whispered in the still of her darkened room, as she fell into a restless sleep ...

Trumpeter Swans are the largest flight bird in North America. They weight 25-30 pounds, with a wing span of about 7ft. Because Trumpeter swans are so large, they need about a football field length for take-off.

Irgendeine Pissnelke hat mal gefragt, ob ich das so arrangiert hätte. Für alle Fälle: NEIN! Es war ein Stück Bindfaden, das da so auf der Straße lag.

 

Some rotten idiot once asked if I would have arranged it that way. NO! It was a piece of twine that lay in the street like that.

Fundado en el año 1528 por los marqueses de Villena; perteneció a la orden de las monjas Concepcionistas Franciscanas.

Fundado no séc. XVI por eremitas calçados de Santo Agostinho, o convento está hoje ocupado em parte pelo Museu Municipal.

 

A igreja mantém o seu antigo esplendor e é notável pela talha e imagens barrocas, particularmente da primeira metade do século XVII.

 

O percurso para a igreja leva-nos depois a atravessar uma ala do claustro com abóbadas de aresta e largos silhares de azulejos, datados de 1725, ilustrando a vida de D. Frei Aleixo de Meneses.

 

A igreja, de uma só nave, é coberta com abóbada de berço, apresentando-se algo monumental e bem iluminada. Na capela-mor sobressai o grande retábulo do começo do séc. XVII. Notáveis as esculturas de madeira, particularmente as imagens de Santa Gertrudes Magna e Santa Francisca Romana, obras características do séc. XVII. À direita, um pequeno nicho na parede com o túmulo de S. Gonçalo (1422), curiosa arca com a figura do santo na tampa. No corpo da igreja distribuem-se quatro capelas de cada lado, com boa talha dourada, imagens e inscrições tumulares com belas peças heráldicas.

 

Esta notável igreja possui ainda um silhar de azulejos de tapete e, na varanda do coro, um valioso crucifixo de marfim (séc. XVII), e dois púlpitos de talha do séc. XVIII, época dos principais melhoramentos.

African Fund for Endangered Wildlife - Nairobi

La ciudad de Almería (en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía, España) fue fundada en el siglo X por el rey Hakim como atalaya defensiva de la ciudad prominente en ese momento, Pechina (de ahí el nombre en árabe Al-Mariyya Bayāna المرية بيانة). La ciudad tenía un castillo fortaleza o alcazaba y una muralla que rodeaba toda la medina y los arrabales.

La alcazaba

Edificación de defensa ubicada dentro de la ciudad de Almería, exactamente en el norte del Casco Histórico. Una alcazaba es una ciudadela construida en varios niveles que suele ocupar toda una elevación de terreno. Tiene muros con torres de defensa, calles, casas y mezquita.

 

En el año 955 Abderramán III concede a Almería la categoría de medina. Es en ese momento cuando se comienza a construir la alcazaba. Se construye también la mezquita mayor y las murallas que rodean la ciudad. La alcazaba fue una fortaleza militar y al mismo tiempo sede del gobierno. Desde este lugar se domina la ciudad y el mar.

 

Se perfeccionó todo el conjunto y se engrandeció con Almanzor y más tarde alcanzó su máximo esplendor con Al-Jairán, primer rey independiente taifa (1012-1028).

 

Primer recinto

Es un amplio lugar que corresponde a lo que fue campamento militar y refugio para la población en caso de asedio. Contaba con buenos aljibes. En el extremo más oriental está el Baluarte del Saliente.

 

El Muro de la Vela separa el primer recinto del segundo. Se llama así porque allí se levantaba la campana de la vela, que anunciaba varios eventos cuando tenían lugar: barcos que entraban en la bahía, peligro, fuego, etc. Fue mandado construir por el rey Carlos III. La campana reunía con su toque a los defensores de la fortaleza. En otras épocas sirvió para marcar la hora del agua a los regantes, como toque de queda y como cierre de las puertas de las murallas y salida de las patrullas. También se la oía en las noches de tormenta. Está cobijada por una cruz y tiene un nombre: Santa María de los Dolores. (Todas las campanas tienen un nombre propio).

 

Segundo recinto

Era la residencia para gobernantes, guardia y servidores. En realidad era la ciudad palaciega con dependencias como mezquita, baños, aljibes, tiendas, etc. Debido a los terremotos que asolaron la provincia en la Edad Moderna apenas quedan algunos restos en pie pero ofrece un gran yacimiento arqueológico el cual es aún hoy investigado.

 

Tercer recinto

Se trata de la parte más moderna de todo el conjunto. Tras la toma de Almería en 1489, los Reyes Católicos mandaron construir un castillo en la parte más occidental y elevada, adaptado a las nuevas necesidades militares y a la artillería.

Now that's a private helicopter!

Mitten in einem Park neben einem Baum fand ich diese Dinge. Im Basttäschchen waren neue Kinderhandschuhe, und ein Portemonnaie ohne Dokumente. Daneben befand sich dieser 200 Frankenschein. Und neben der Tasche die Primel im Plastiksack. Total skurril die Sache darum habe ich noch an Ort die Polizei angerufen. Hatten natürlich keine Zeit vorbei zu kommen :-/ Also brachte ich meinen Fund auf die Polizeistation. Wenn es nicht abgeholt wird dann erhalte ich es in 5 Jahren zurück !!!

Der Wehrmacht-Einheitskanister ist ein Kanister mit 20 Litern Fassungsvermögen.

 

Er wurde Mitte der 1930er Jahre für die deutsche Wehrmacht entwickelt und war auf nahezu allen europäischen und nordafrikanischen Kriegsschauplätzen des Zweiten Weltkrieges anzutreffen. Die Behälter werden auch heute noch in großen Stückzahlen in vielen Ländern hergestellt. Der Wehrmachts-Einheitskanister gilt als der klassische Benzinkanister. Im englischen Sprachraum nennt man die Kanister auch jerrycan.

 

Bis zur Entwicklung des Einheitskanisters waren handliche Dreiecks-Kraftstoffbehälter aus geprägtem Blech mit Füllmengen zwischen 2,5 und 20 Litern im zivilen sowie im militärischen Gebrauch üblich.

 

Der Wehrmacht-Einheitskanister besteht ebenfalls aus geprägtem Blech und wurde nach einer Ausschreibung 1935/36 von der Firma Eisenwerk Müller & Co. AG in Schwelm, Westfalen, unter Leitung von Vinzenz Grünvogel, entwickelt. 1936 gelangte eine Serie von 5.000 Stück zwecks Erprobung zur Truppe. Mit der Allgemeinen Heeresmitteilung (AHM) Nr. 324 vom 8. Juli 1937 erfolgte die offizielle Einführung.

 

Im Jahre 1937 erhielt er seine endgültige Form von der Firma Ambi-Budd (ABP, Ambi-Budd Presswerk Berlin). Schon im Zweiten Weltkrieg verwendeten die Schweiz und Italien ebenfalls diese Einheitskanister. Auch für die britische Armee ließ das britische War Department (United Kingdom) baugleiche Kanister einführen. Mit der Landung der Alliierten im Juli 1944 gelangten riesige Mengen dieser Kanister auf das europäische Festland.
