Given that the Seattle Kraken only started playing in the NHL last year, this would be a first in Seattle Pride history: a rainbow themed Kraken zamboni. (Note the sign on the front: PRIDE RUNS DEEP.) I suppose it's possible they had some kind of presence in the 2019 parade while still in planning stages—I really can't remember—but this is certainly their first appearance in the parade a an actively playing professional team.
A Brief History of the Castle
After the Norman Conquest, in 1069, the land around Middleham was given to Alan Rufus or Alan The Red, a nephew of William the Conqueror. Rufus built a wooden motte-and-bailey castle, 500 yards to the south-west of where the present castle stands, on a site known as William's Hill. It was built to guard Coverdale and to protect the road from Richmond to Skipton. Alan Rufus was also the builder of nearby Richmond Castle. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 Middleham had been granted to Alan Rufuss brother Ribald. This early castle was abandoned in the 12th century when a new castle was built centered around a massive stone keep . The construction of the present castle began around 1170 by Robert Fitzrandolph (grandson of Ribald) during the reign of Henry II when he built the keep and original bailey. The keep, one of the largest in England, had twelve foot thick walls and three floors; for its time, this would have provided palatial accommodation. It contained a great chamber, large kitchen, chapel, dovecot, cellars and the living rooms of the lord of Middleham.
At each end of the keep's vaulted basement there were two wells (which can still be seen today). The thirteenth century curtain walls formed an enclosure around 250 feet on each side. In the fourteenth and fifteenth century the garrison quarters, stables and stores were housed within these walls.
Original entry was via a gatehouse on the East side of the castle across a wooden bridge (possibly having a drawbridge over a now dry moat). The huge wooden gates and probable portcullis must have presented an awesome first impression! The present day entrance to the castle is through the Northern gatehouse, known as the Neville Gate.
Middleham Castle became home to some of the most powerful lords of the 15th century, including Salisbury, Warwick and Richard, Duke of Gloucester, later King Richard III, he was particularly fond of Middleham. The round tower at the south-west corner of the curtain wall, traditionally known as the Prince's Tower, is said to be where Richard's son Prince Edward was born and died.
After Richard was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 Henry VII became king, and Middleham Castle became his. Under the Tudors the castle was left to fall into disrepair.
In 1604 James I granted the castle to Sir Henry Linley, who made some repairs and lived there until his death in 1610 when his daughter Jane Linley then inherited the castle. In 1613 Jane married Edward, 2nd Viscount Loftus, who occupied it until 1644. During the Civil War it was to be used as a prison.
In 1646 Parliament ordered the east range wall be destroyed along with most of the wall-walks, thus leaving the castle the shell it is today.
In 1662 it was sold to Edward Wood, his family owning the castle until 1889. It was then sold to Samuel Cunliffe-Lister, 1st Lord Masham, and was inherited by the second Lord Masham in 1906. In 1925 the Office of Works, later to become English Heritage, acquired the castle and it is now in their keeping and open to the public.

New life could be injected into this former nurses' home which has stood derelict for a number of years if proposals to transform the site into apartments are given the green light.
The four-storey property opened almost 100 years ago in Newcastle's West End, and was once home to trainee nurses working at Newcastle General Hospital. But in more recent years it has become better known as one of the city's abandoned buildings.
Now work to create 57 private rented properties at the Angel Heights site on Westgate Road could begin later this year if planning permission is granted, completely transforming the site from the home fondly remembered one of the nurses who once lived there.
Gwenda Gofton, formerly Brady, was one of the Newcastle General Hospital nurses who lived at Angel Heights from April 1952, following three months training at a Preliminary Training School in Walkergate. Today she looks back at her time living at the home.
Gwenda, now 89, lived at the home for three years from the age of 18 and occupied the only double room in the property, which she shared with her friend Margaret. The nurses would often spend the day in bed when off duty because they were so tired and on their days off and they were able to order breakfast in bed.
She remembers accessing the hospital via an underground tunnel which connected Angel Heights to the hospital and was especially grateful for the route on cold and damp days as "it was always warm because large pipes ran through it".
Gwenda and Margaret's room was situated on the top floor and the pair would often share a bed to keep warm as there was no heating in the bedrooms and "the electricity wasn't powerful enough to have portable heaters or kettles."
She added: "Tap water was used for hot-water bottles, and we usually had a hot bath to thaw out before going to bed. If we washed our hair, we went to bed with it wet and it was dry by morning.
"There were three bathrooms together and the dirty water ran along an open channel past each bath before reaching the drain."
The 175-room property was opened in 1925 by Coun JW Telford, who was at the time chairman of the Newcastle Upon Tyne Board of Guardians. It featured two sitting rooms on the ground floor, one very large and the other smaller in size.
However, Gwenda recalls how the nurses would congregate in the bedrooms and would rarely spend time in the sitting room.
Maids were on hand in the dining room at the home to serve meals and refreshments to the nurses. And the nurses would only have to hold their cup in the air and for it to be quickly replenished by a maid.
Gwenda said: "As we were always hungry we had no complaints about the food except for scrambled egg. We were sure it was made with dried egg but there was always a tiny piece of eggshell in it as if to prove it wasn't."
Angel Heights was managed by two "lovely" Home Sisters during Gwenda's time at the home and night porters would also worked shifts at Angel Heights.
Gwenda added: "One favourite night porter was Big Bob. If we were later than 11pm we had to sign a book and there was trouble if it was signed more than once in a week.
"However, when Bob was on duty, we could come in any time if we gave him a kiss and a bottle of beer. Sadly, he was suspended for being drunk on duty so we all felt bad about that."
Strong friendships were made between the nurses during Gwenda's time living at the home, and 70 years later some of them remain in contact following a plea to reunite a team of 40 Newcastle General Hospital nurses published in The Chronicle in 2012.
The friends share fond memories of their time at Angel Heights and Gwenda recalls how they would often play tricks on each other.
Gwenda said: "Naturally, we played many tricks on one another. I remember returning from a day off at home and finding no bed in my room.
"It was in the lift, which was stuck between two floors. It was a large noisy lift with a metal door and the trick was to set it away then someone would try and open it causing it to stop working.
"Another trick we used to play was with a bobbin and thread. We'd hide the bobbin under someone's bed, then pull on the thread when they were in bed. It made an awful sound and terrified the life out of the poor person in bed."
She added: "We sometimes had parties in our rooms. We had an old pram that we used to go to the off licence on Brighton Grove and stock up on Merrydown cider. I remember us trying to mend a puncture once in the nurses' home cloakroom, but we couldn't get the tyre off."
Angel Heights was bought by the Angel Group in April 2000 and transformed it into a hostel. Around 200 asylum seekers were brought to Tyneside as part of an agreement between Angel Heights and Kent County Council to reduce the number of asylum seekers in south coast towns. But, when plans to move the asylum seekers into the hostel were first revealed, neighbours did object, with one resident describing the hostel as an "open prison".

"The Discovery Dance has been given here, among various others, and pleased the bystanders very much; it was exceedingly droll and picturesque, and acted out with a great deal of pantomimic effect-without music, or any other noise than the patting of their feet, which all came simultaneously on the ground, in perfect time, while they were dancing forward two or four at a time, in a skulking posture, overlooking the country, and professing to announce the approach of animals or enemies which they have discovered, by giving the signals back to the leader of the dance" (Letters and Notes, vol. II).

This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Monday 28th December 2015 at 13:00. In an opposite turn to last year's frosty icy weather participants today were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2.5 mile mark of the 10 mile race. The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments.
The bad weather made photography particularly difficult but we did manage to get the start of both races and the first handful of finishers from the 10 mile race. They are available on Flickr [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157662725299342]The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

A Halloween walk around Carlisle Castle
Carlisle Castle is situated in Carlisle, in the English county of Cumbria, near the ruins of Hadrian's Wall. The castle is over 900 years old and has been the scene of many historical episodes in British history. Given the proximity of Carlisle to the border between England and Scotland, it has been the centre of many wars and invasions. Today the castle is managed by English Heritage and is open to the public. The castle until recently was the administrative headquarters of the former King's Own Royal Border Regiment now county headquarters to the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and a museum to the regiment is within the castle walls.
Carlisle Castle was first built during the reign of William II of England, the son of William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. At that time, Cumberland (the original name for north and west Cumbria) was still considered a part of Scotland. William II ordered the construction of a Norman style motte and bailey castle in Carlisle on the site of an old Roman fort, with construction beginning in 1093. The need for a castle in Carlisle was to keep the northern border of England secured against the threat of invasion from Scotland. In 1122, Henry I of England ordered a stone castle to be constructed on the site. Thus a keep and city walls were constructed. The existing Keep dates from somewhere between 1122 and 1135.
The act of driving out the Scots from Cumberland led to many attempts to retake the lands. The result of this was that Carlisle and its castle would change hands many times for the next 700 years. The first attempt began during the troubled reign of Stephen of England.
On the 26 March 1296 John 'The Red' Comyn, since the fourth quarter of 1295 Lord of Annandale, led a Scottish host across the Solway to attack Carlisle. The then governor of the castle, one Robert de Brus, deposed Lord of Annandale, successfully withstood the attack, before forcing the raiders to retreat back through Annandale to Sweetheart Abbey.
From the mid-13th century until the unification of England and Scotland in 1603, Carlisle castle was the vital headquarters of the Western March, a buffer zone to protect the western portion of the Anglo-Scottish border.
Henry VIII converted the castle for artillery, employing the engineer Stefan von Haschenperg. For a few months in 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned within the castle, in the Warden’s Tower, which was demolished in 1835. Later, the castle was besieged by the Parliamentary forces for eight months in 1644, during the English Civil War.
The most important battles for the city of Carlisle and its castle were during the second Jacobite rising against George II of Great Britain in 1745. The forces of Prince Charles Edward Stuart travelled south from Scotland into England reaching as far south as Derby. Carlisle and the castle were seized and fortified by the Jacobites. However they were driven north by the forces of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, the son of George II. Carlisle was recaptured, and the Jacobites were jailed and executed. That battle marked the end of the castle's fighting life, as defending the border between England and Scotland was not necessary with both countries again one in Great Britain.
After 1746 the castle became somewhat neglected, although some minor repairs were undertaken such as that of the drawbridge in 1783.
Some parts of the castle were then demolished for use as raw materials in the 19th century to create more or less what is visible to the visitor today. The Army moved in to take hold of the castle, which was the regimental depot of the Border Regiment until 1959, when The Regiment amalgamated with the King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster) to form the King's Own Royal Border Regiment. The Territorial Army still use parts of the castle, which also houses The King’s Own Border Regiment Museum.
Given the fact that these beautiful creatures are agile and live in the high canopies of the forests, it is quite difficult to get a neat photograph of them.
Built in 1742 and given to the town of Boston by Peter Faneuil of French Huguenot parentage.
The first story used as a market and the upper story as a town hall burned in 1761 and rebuilt in 1763 somewhat enlarged. Here both before and during the Revolution were held many patriotic meetings which kept alive among the people the fires of freedom and stirred them to greater deeds from which fact the hall became known as the CRADLE OF LIBERTY.

A delicious homemade buffet dinner complete with dessert was served, and afterward, the group played Bingo for the many white elephant prizes that had been brought by the DAR members. The remaining gifts after the game were given to the Center for those unable to attend the picnic.

Line (geometry)
Three lines — the red and blue lines have the same slope, while the red and green ones have same y-intercept.
A representation of one line segment
The notion of line or straight line was introduced by the ancient mathematicians to represent straight objects with negligible width and depth. Lines are an idealization of such objects. Thus, until seventeenth century, lines were defined like this: "The line is the first species of quantity, which has only one dimension, namely length, without any width nor depth, and is nothing else than the flow or run of the point which [...] will leave from its imaginary moving some vestige in length, exempt of any width. [...] The straight line is that which is equally extended between its points" [1]
Euclid described a line as "breadthless length", and introduced several postulates as basic unprovable properties from which he constructed the geometry, which is now called Euclidean geometry to avoid confusion with other geometries which have been introduced since the end of nineteenth century (non-Euclidean geometry, projective geometry, affine geometry, ...).
In modern mathematics there are two quite different ways to define a line, which are logically equivalent in the sense that every property, which may be deduced (proved) from one definition, may also be deduced from the other one.[2]
The first class of definitions follows Euclid's approach and consists in defining a line as an abstract primitive object whose properties are defined by a set of axioms. Such systems of axioms have been given by Karl von Staudt, David Hilbert, Giuseppe Peano, Mario Pieri and Alessandro Padoa.
The second definition is presently the most commonly used and relies to coordinate geometry introduced by René Descartes. It consists in defining a line in the Euclidean plane as the set of the points whose coordinates satisfy a given linear equation. More generally, a line in a Euclidean space of dimension n is the set of the points whose coordinates satisfy a given set of n−1 independent linear equations.
A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points and contains every point on the line between its end points. Depending on how the line segment is defined, either of the two end points may or may not be part of the line segment. Two or more line segments may have some of the same relationships as lines, such as being parallel, intersecting, or skew.
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings - "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh! He's FLYING! Oh, HIGH! WIDE! Oh...
The Roman Catholic parish church of Klagenfurt-St. Egid is located in the municipality of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee in Carinthia . The parish church of St. Ägidius belongs to the deanery of Klagenfurt-Stadt in the diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt . The former main parish church is a listed building .
History
On the site of today's St. Egid Church there was an older church building that was first mentioned as the vicariate of Maria Saal in 1255 and was given parish rights in 1303. In 1347 the first documented mention of a church was “sand Gilgen” (St. Egid). In 1519, three priests at the Church of St. Egid were named in Schematism and in 1540 the church was restored.
The design of the original church can be seen from existing city maps from 1605 and 1649. The church had a Gothic high choir , seven altars, a projecting transept and two towers with pointed helmets, which were connected by a covered wooden aisle.
From 1563 until re -Catholicization in 1600, Protestant services were celebrated in the church. In 1571, baptismal records began to be kept . From 1593 Johannes Herold was cantor . In 1603 the parish became independent.
Fires destroyed the rectory in 1535 and 1636. The Romanesque Karner fell victim to the fire in 1636. Earthquakes affected the church in 1571, 1680 and 1688. The damage made it necessary to demolish the Romanesque church in 1690.
The new church was inaugurated by Bishop Kaspar von Lavant on September 8, 1697. The foundation stone for the new tower was laid by the Klagenfurt burgrave J. F. Graf Orsini-Rosenberg on July 30, 1692. The new bell rang for the first time in 1706 and the tower was completed in 1709. In 1723 there was further fire damage to the church and the tower. The tower was then equipped with a baroque onion helmet . With a height of 91.7 meters, it is the second highest church tower in Carinthia after the parish tower in Villach and is considered one of the two landmarks of Klagenfurt. The 50 meter high viewing platform of the tower gallery can be climbed as part of guided tours .
The new church was designed as a four- bay gallery church with a two-bay square choir . Several barrel vaults with stitch caps rest on stucco-lustro pilasters with richly decorated capitals . The triumphal arch is indicated by a belt arch on wall pillars. Four side chapels with cross vaults and baroque windows complete the building. The galleries have lunette windows , which also date from the Baroque period.
Four artistically valuable side altars complete the interior:
Nepomuk Altar (1822): The altar is made of artificial marble and contains the motif of John the Baptist (1728) by Josef Ferdinand Fromiller as a top image and figures of the Holy Family on the side . The altar was donated by Egger-Lodron.
Cross altar (1702). The central picture of the Crucifixion of Christ was painted by Adam Imhof in 1607.
Barbara altar (1702). Main image: Saint Barbara with tower and chalice.
Josef's altar (1699) donated by the Orsini-Rosenberg family. Main image: Saint Joseph . Essay image: Marriage of Mary (both assigned to the Klagenfurt painter Adam Claus).
The new high altar was built in 1729, which was replaced for the first time in 1742 and in 1780 by the high altar that has existed ever since.
Around 1740, Benedikt Bläß created a baroque pulpit that can be considered one of the most beautiful in Carinthia; its main theme is the aspect of repentance . In 1749 the Holy Head devotion was introduced under Lorenz Klein. In 1760/61 the ceiling frescoes by Fromiller and Mölckh were installed .
During this time, the parish had the branch churches Holy Spirit (consecrated in 1639) and Kreuzbergl (consecrated in 1742). In 1772, the cemetery in front of the church, which was the burial place for the entire city, was abandoned . In 1780 there were 9,689 people in St. Egid, of whom 8,344 were ' communicants '. In 1784, the now three city parishes were regulated under Emperor Joseph II.
The storm damage caused by two hurricanes between 1817 and 1827 made it necessary to renovate the ceiling. In this context, a new bell was inaugurated in 1827. In 1832 the legal connection between the parish and the Gurk Cathedral Chapter was severed . From 1859 to 1861 the church was restored inside. In 1877 the church tower was renovated again.
Architect Franz Schachner redesigned the facade in 1893 and a statue of Maria Lourdes has stood in the northeast of the church since 1895 . In 1906 Novak built a new organ for the church. In 1909, the row of houses along the old circular wall (including the organist's house) was demolished to form Heuplatz.
During the First World War the church's bells were removed and transported away . In 1924 the inauguration of a new bell took place, which consisted of the Poor Souls , Floriani, Mary, Hero and Home Bells. In 1942 the bells, with the exception of the home bell, were transported away again for war purposes. During National Socialism there were severe restrictions on the church. The church and rectory were largely spared during the heavy bombing in Klagenfurt.
In 1932 the St. Egid Church Music Association was founded. Also in 1932, the Christ the King Church and the new priest's house on the Lend Canal were consecrated . In 1972, the parish of St. Hemma was created by separating an area in the northwest of St. Egid.
The new rectory was built between 1964 and 1965. The church was renovated inside from 1969 to 1974 and the outside including the tower between 1982 and 1984.
From 1989 onwards, Ernst Fuchs designed the south sacristy as a chapel
In 1990 the church received new bells, in 1992 an organ from the Czech organ building company Rieger-Kloss and in 2006 a complete restoration was carried out. The rectory was expanded between 2006 and 2007 and an underground car park was built.
The organ was built in 1992 by the Czech organ building company Rieger-Kloss. The instrument has 57 registers on three manuals and pedal . In addition, the instrument has four effect registers ( cymbel star , cuculus , bird calls and glockenspiel) and a connection to the tower bells. The playing action is mechanical, the register action is mechanical and electrical. Originally there was also a ground-level gaming table , but this was badly damaged in a lightning strike in 2017 and was removed. The previous setting system also had to be replaced.
Personalities
The writer Julien Green was buried in 1998 at his own request in the city's main parish church of St. Egid in a chapel designed for him. The grave is adorned with a text from his diary from November 1954.
Between 1991 and 2010, the Austrian painter Ernst Fuchs designed an apocalyptic sequence of scenes based on the Revelation of John for the south chapel (“Fuchs Chapel”).
