профнастил цена на sotdel.ru/profnastil.html #Профнастил #sotdel кровельный, стеновой, несущий от производителя Профилированные листы (профнастил) — это облицовочный материал, изготавливающийся из оцинкованной стали как без какого-либо покрытия, так и с разнообразными полимерными покрытиями, которые придают материалу различные оттенки. Внешне профнастил имеет вид гофрированных металлических листов с волнистой или трапециевидной формой. Этот материал отлично подходит как для быстровозводимых зданий, так и для промышленного строительства. Но прежде, чем приобретать материал и монтировать его, необходимо произвести расчет кровли из профнастила. Области применения обусловлены тем, что производство оцинкованного профлиста обходится сравнительно дешево, соответственно и цена на него при продаже невысока - купить металлический профиль можно действительно недорого. Указанное деление по высоте профиля носит рекомендательный характер и в каждом конкретном случае марка материала выбирается исходя из необходимости решения определенной задачи. Цена на профнастил с полимерным покрытием выше, однако благодаря широкой цветовой гамме и привлекательному внешнему виду именно крашеный металлопрофиль отлично подходит для строительства заборов вокруг индивидуальных жилых домов, для ограждения территорий предприятий и организаций различных форм собственности, устройства кровель, изготовления сэндвич панелей. Сегодня наиболее распространенными полимерными декоративными покрытиями являются полиэстер, AGNETA, PRISMA, CLOUDY, ECOSTEEL, PVDF, VIKING, пластизол (ими же покрывается и другой популярный в современном строительстве материал — металлическая черепица). Каждое из них обладает определенным набором преимуществ, которые и обуславливают их использование для тех или иных целей. Так, профлист с покрытием из полиэстера хорошо выдерживает нагрев до 1200С и не боится жесткого ультрафиолетового излучения, что делает его пригодным для устройства кровель даже в районах с большим количеством солнечных дней.

Like many parks of the time, Union Park began as a trolley park -- a way for electric companies to encourage people to use their services. It officially opened as Stewart Park in April 1891 in a 75-foot-deep valley northwest of Dubuque known as Horseshoe Hollow. "Stewart" was the last name of the man whose farmland was purchased to create the park. It was quite simple that first spring, with hills, streams, and old miners' huts being the highlights, but improvements were scheduled to begin immediately. Such improvements included a dance pavilion, refreshment booth, bowling alleys, employee housing, and a smaller pavilion for private parties. Despite these additions, the first nine years were rather shaky as the park changed hands several times.
It was in 1900 that Stewart Park changed ownership yet again and was renamed Union Park by L. D. Mathes, the man chosen as the new Park Manager. Mathes dedicated his time to creating a new image for the park, and improvements abounded: newer trolley tracks were laid, modern lighting was installed, dirt paths became paved, a new dance hall (The Pavilion) was constructed, and the once simple platform where riders would step on and off the trollies became an elaborate waiting station/depot. This entrance area became known as The Loop, as the single track would split (the trolley would go to the right), form a circle whose far end was the waiting station, and then re-join itself. The Loop was at the east end of the park -- the lower end of the valley.
A rustic bandstand was built in 1905, and two years later a more elaborate one was constructed farther up the valley. The new bandstand (henceforth known as the Rustic Bandstand) was complete with a plaza and semi-circle of benches. In 1908, additional land was purchased to the west end of the park and a children's playground was erected. Mathes tried to make this area extra special with slides, swings, a carousel (the small kind you climb on at playgounds), sandboxes, and other fun amusements. A pavilion for picnics and parties was also constructed near the playground. It was this pavilion that would later adopt a somewhat macabre moniker for its involvement in the sad events surrounding the flood in 1919.
In addition to the children's playground, a roller coaster was also built in 1908. It appears from the picture in Boge's book that this ride was a side-friction coaster in the classic figure-eight design. During the same year, work was done on a cave ("Wonder Cave") that had been discovered on the land some years back. Hardened walkways (including steps and small bridges) and lights were installed inside the cave.
A year later, in 1909, the plaza in front of the the Rustic Bandstand was taken down and the largest theater in Iowa was built. Known as Mammoth Theatre, this huge structure stretched from one side of the valley to the other side, dividing the park in two. There were 1,500 opera-style seats inside, followed by benches, plus room for thousands more to see the show for free on the hill outside. You see, the back wall (on the north side of the valley) was open, so those passing by on the hill could see right in.

Union Park: Historical Overview.
The idea of Union Park began more than 120 years ago in the mind’s eye of Dubuque citizen William G. Stewart. Stewart’s generosity and vision for the land were essential for the concept to become reality. In the years following his initial land gift to the city, other individuals and companies would become part of the production and play large and varying roles.
A timeline of the major actions and events relating to Union Park follows:
1890. William G. Stewart donated several acres of farmland to the city with hopes of creating a place where Dubuque families could have outings.
March 6, 1891. The Dubuque Electric Railway Light and Power Company, known locally as the Allen and Swiney Motor Line Company, purchased an additional forty acres of land from Stewart’s farm. The company’s goal was to publicize the use of electricity through a means of transportation they used around the city: trolleys. They hoped their idea of a park at the end of their trolley line would give them the needed publicity. For purposes of their ultimate goal, it met with limited success.
April 26, 1891. The park officially opened. A fee of 10¢ delivered the first visitors by trolley to the then-named Stewart Park, snuggled in Horseshoe Hollow. [The return trip cost 15¢.]
May 11, 1893. Money soon became an impossible obstacle for the park's owners. Unable to operate a trolley line and a park, Allen and Swiney sold out to the Old Colony Trust Company.
July 7, 1899. As a result of a series of legal actions, the ownership of the property became part of the General Electric Company. General Electric reorganized the local firm into the Home Electric Company that sold out to Union Electric Company. A park manager was hired. The park was renamed Union Park, after the new company owner.
1900. A cave was discovered. In years to come, a casual walk through the cave offered some momentary respite from steamy August days. The cave was modernized in 1908 with the addition of a walkway and electric lights.
1904. Dirt trails and paths were replaced with cement sidewalks (image at left) that ran from the loading platform to all the buildings. The construction of a new dance hall, known as The Pavilion, was a major event. Visitors to the park were also impressed when the loading platform, little more than a dock, was replaced by an elaborate shelter (image at lower right) that protected visitors from inclement weather.
1905. A unique bandstand made of gnarled tree branches was constructed.
1907. A second bandstand of the same design was built farther into the valley with hundreds of benches nearby. Grand concerts from this bandstand were held on a regular basis each week. [Newspaper accounts from the time tell of the bands and orchestras being paid from $2,500 to $5,000 weekly. The bandstand was also the setting for many high school and college graduations.]
1908. More land was purchased; a children's playground was developed that offered a variety of equipment including slides, swings and carousels. A wooden roller coaster was constructed.
1909. The Mammoth Theater (image at left), advertised as the largest in the West, was built. Costing Union Electric $30,000 to construct, the Mammoth Theater stretched from one hillside to the other dividing the park into two parts. Anticipating large crowds, 1,500 opera chairs were installed. The theater, designed carefully for excellent acoustics, was open at one end, allowing an additional 5,000 people to see and hear (at no charge) the musical programs. [Seating inside the theater: Depending on the program and time of day, sitting in the opera seats cost audience members ten to fifteen cents; benches set up behind the opera seats cost five to ten cents.]
1910. A children's wading pool was added. (See image at right.) [It was modeled after, and constructed as a miniature of, the internationally known wading pool in Chicago's Ogdon Park.]
1911 to 1919. Park use flourished. In 1916 Union Electric Company assets were sold to the Dubuque Electric Company, but continued attention to beautifying the area led the park to remain one of eastern Iowa's most popular and enchanting settings.
July 9, 1919. Weather predictions called for possible thunderstorms on this Wednesday afternoon, but usual summer activities were continued as planned. The first drops of rain in the afternoon quickly turned into a downpour. Picnickers, still feeling secure, ran for nearby shelter, unaware that the cloudburst had created a wall of water that soon tore into the park. The Mammoth Theater, which stretched across the valley, inadvertently served as a dam, blocking the water’s dispersion and making the flood worse. Concrete sidewalks were ripped up by the fury of the torrent. The massive wall of water demolished the merry-go-round and backed up behind the theater to a height estimated to be twenty feet before pushing on downhill. According to the National Weather Bureau, 3.87 inches of rain fell that afternoon, most in less than a two-hour period. Five people died that day at Union Park, and an estimated $15,000 in damage was done.
July 13, 1919. Although none of the debris had yet been removed, Union Park reopened to the public. Visitors were given the opportunity to view the massive damage done by the floodwaters. Plans were developed and rebuilding efforts began immediately.
July 26, 1923. A dance pavilion was rebuilt using the floor from the Mammoth Theater. This ballroom was advertised as the largest in Iowa.
Later in 1923. A 50-foot-by-150-foot Olympic-sized swimming pool, said to be able to hold 2,000 bathers, was constructed to attract residents back to the park. The popular Pavilion was converted into a roller-rink.
Despite best attempts to rekindle interest in Union Park, those efforts failed as attendance remained low. Of concern to Dubuque Electric Company, the park owners at the time, was the appearance of automobiles in Dubuque. Vehicles permitted Dubuque residents, once confined to Dubuque and its attractions, to travel outside the city. Union Park also suffered from the opening, in 1907, of Eagle Point Park, a 133-acre public park and recreation area overlooking the Zebulon Pike Lock and Dam (Lock and Dam No. 11) on the Mississippi River.
April 27, 1927. Dubuque Electric Company sold out to Interstate Power Company.
1934. Interstate Power Company announced that Union Park would close.
1935. Park buildings were dismantled. Union Park's dance hall was reassembled (as the popular Melody Mill) on Sageville Road near the intersection of Highway 52/Northwest Arterial/John F. Kennedy Road. For safety, the cave entrance was blasted shut. Wood from the roller coaster was made into a barn.
September 5, 1946. The YMCA and the Boy Scouts purchased the land; cabins were constructed on the hillsides, along with a mess hall, swimming pool, stables, and bathrooms. [Soon after the completion of the project, the Scouts chose to erect their own campgrounds, leaving the YMCA with the 100-acre Union Park property.]
Early 2010. The Dubuque Community Y began discussing the possibility of expanding the land use of Union Park with a zipline tour.
May 2011. Construction of the Sky Tours Zipline was completed; guides were trained and certified; and the zipline was opened to the public for business.

OK. At first glimpse, this comparison might sound unfair. The D300, featuring a 12 MP sensor was released in 2007, while the D7100, featuring a 24 MP sensor was released almost 6 years later in 2013. Six years. That is a long time in the digital world.
PREFACE
But let's start from the beginning. I am, or at least was most of the time very happy with my D300 for more than 5 years now. The camera travelled from the darkest basements to far asian cities and islands. And I never considered it an option to give away my cam as it never failed, never let me in the dark, never disappointed me. After having the D40 for a year before going to the D300 I was learning to appreciate the straight and clean layout of the control elements on the D300. It is truly straightforward. Shooting modes (P,M,S,A), ISO, WB, Exposure, Aperture and many more important settings can be very easily accessed without ever going into the menu. Hold the specific settings button while clicking the exposure dial thru the option value range. Release the button and it is set. Thats it. This straight UX approach was another strong reason I was soo happy with that camera. Also with the quality of the camera, especially its built quality – full metal (magnesium alloy) body - and the haptic feeling I was always more than satisfied over those years. For the image quality I was also quite pleased. Except, that sometimes I felt a bit more resolution for cropping could have been in those situations where you once again had to hurry snapping a shot without fine adjusting of the frame. On other occasions I was feeling like wanting more High ISO with less noise to shoot in the dark by hand. But as both of those requests seemed like only having one answer, namely going to full-frame (FX-Format) I dismissed the idea of upgrading . I was more than often on a holiday in a situation were I was tired to carry around my bulky and heavy bag. Going to full frame would not have meant to spend much more money on lenses but also to carry around an even bulkier and more heavier bag than the one I am sick of right now. So on holiday you will see me often just with the camera hanging from my shoulder, having the 35mm f/1.8 on and thats it. I highly appreciate the ability to move virtuously. Without moving, there is not much different scenes you are going to take in a day. And if you don't have a car with you or someone who is happy to carry your equipment (tripod, bag, umbrellas … what else do you need?) you really don’t feel like moving that much while taking all that material with you.
I remember also one of my close friends wanting me to convert to Canon, but this was also never an option for me. Not only having to switch a whole system of lenses, flashes and accessories, but I was and I am appreciating the nature of Nikon products in all ways a lot. Canon cameras often come out with newer features (Full-Frame-Sensors, Video, ...) or higher image quality more soon than Nikon ones. But to me they never felt that solid holding them in my hands as the Nikon cameras. I had Canon Cameras in my hand which cost more than double of the D300, but they always feel like cheap plastic to me. They never feel that solid as I would spend that much money on them. I also have some recent models of premium cars in my mind where manufacturers really failed in interior materials for +100k USD cars. I never would going to buy those – even I had the money - as they have cheap plastic buttons on the command panel, despite of being highly awarded by the so called independent specialized press.
COMMON FEATURES
OK. Lets first take a look, not at the differences of those both cameras. Let's take a look of what they have in common. Both are Nikon F-Mount DSLRs with a DX-Sensor (crop factor 1.3x). Both have the four basic important shooting modes – P, M, S, A. Both have an HDMI output on the left and a LCD on top. And the D7100 has at least a body which is partially made of magnesium alloy. Both have a 100 % viewfinder (0.94x). Both can shoot 14-bit NEF's, and both are featuring a 51-point AF sensor and an AF-motor, so non AF-S lenses will have AF function on both cams as well. Both can be equipped with a battery grip, and if you take a look at the menus you'll also find both cameras having extensive settings options which is almost the same huge feature list once more. And interestingly the D300s (the video enabled succeeder of the D300) is available at almost the same price right now as the D7100 is.
VIDEO
Let's just assume for a second that the only feature I am missing on my D300 is the video. Especially on holiday there is always something funny happening you want to take a video of, but often that is not in ideal light conditions. Smartphones just miss up taking videos in dim light and they don't have any optical zoom. So for taking just a little bit serious video it might be a good feature to have on the camera. But for buying a new camera with new money the step from to the D300s is just not far enough for me. It does not feature 1080p or 30fps video recording. And compared to the D300 there is just not more in the box finally than the video.
When spending money on a new camera you want to have more than just one feature. I never thought before that I am going to leave this super straight and solid prosumer Nikon line – not in favour for a less-pro product line. But as it turns out, the D7100 has much more image detail and quality offering in a package which is even lighter and more easy to carry than my old D300 and it is giving me 1080p video, while spending even a little less than for the D300s without missing all those detailed menu settings and major features. That's it. Said like this, it sounds very simple.
DIFFERENCES
Finally, I want to point out, which features you might be missing in case you are going for that same “upgrade” as me, or which features you might gain.
D300 havs, D7100 don't havs - flash sync plug (the old round one) - round 10 pin cable socket for remote cable shutter release and the older style GPS modules - display cover (protects your display from scratches) - straightforward controls - CF card slot (big cards, easy to grab, but be careful with the pins) - manual pop up flash (it never fires unless you release it first, no matter which program – that makes you look more smart than those people who are taking photos in the night of far objects (like skylines) or shooting thru windows with accidently firing the flash ;) - more solid body - bigger top LCD - bigger body more easy to grab (but also more heavy) - high shooting rate of up to 6/8 shots per second (8 only with battery grip or sw tweak***) - big buffer space (will enable you continues shooting of up to 18 RAWs (12-bit) at 6 FPS with fast cards) - LCD screen features more realistic tones and colors - in camera preview is of higher quality
D7100 havs, D300 don't havs - 24 MP sensor - Video recording - SD cards (hell are these small!) - DUAL SD card slots (second one can be set to JPG, backup or overflow) - IR sensor (for triggering the shutter) - many shooting scene modes (your friends who are not into photography might be able to take photos as well) - flash pop up is controlled by software now (to disable the flash, be sure to choose the right settings first) - shooting rate at 6 shots per second also for 14-bit NEFs (3 on the D300), but as of the - limited buffer space the burst rate drops dramatically (under 3 fps depending on your card) after 5 or 6 takes. - support for newer style GPS receivers and the Wifi-Adapter - LCD screen features adjustable backlight - HDMI-C socket (HDMI-A-Cables need an adapter)
That is not a comprehensive list, but the biggest differences I have encountered so far.
LOW PASS FILTER
Finally one last stop at the so called “low-pass-filter”. I have read on many sources on the web that there is “no significant difference” in picture detail by removing the low-pass-filter. I can confirm now while comparing both cameras that this is not true. The D7100 100% crops show definitely higher sharpness on the pixel level than the shots from my D300. Sure, that effect can only be observed while having a lens which is able to deliver that high detail. Just look at the photos I took here. Despite that DX prime lens' super low price tag, its able to deliver this. And there are probably more pricy prime lenses available which can even surpass this performance.
DISPLAY
The back display of both cams are different, but I cannot see any benefit in case of the D7100 LCDs in having another W-subpixel. If you place the cameras side by side you will easily notice that the colors and tones on the display of the D300 are much more natural. The D7100 has an adjustable backlight now and a little bit more true black. That is both a plus. But the photos on the D7100 seem oversharped on playback. But luckily this effects can only be observed on the screen. The photos itself on your memory card are of highest quality on both cams.
Image playback on the D7100 over HDMI shows black bars on left and right side - even if you zoom in into the photo - this is something nobody likes to see, especially as the D300 was able to do that better back then in 2007 already. But despite Nikon knowing from customer complains about this problem they never went to fix it and so this sticks out as a deliberate attempt to cancel this as a pro-camera and keep a distance to the higher priced 3-digit and one-digit product line.
VERDICT
As for the overall picture quality there is not much big difference between both cams. They perform almost equal in terms of dynamic range and white balance. But when you have the right lens mounted, the D7100 is the clear winner in resolution and detail. Also in Low-Light situations the D7100 tends to preserve more details than the D300.
I read on many sites on the web that people recommend the D300(s) as a more solid working body for professional photographers who take their 3000 images a week, but finally I believe that professional photographers can afford more recent and more pricey equipment as the D4 for example. So we are really not talking about professional photography here I guess.
I really liked the super solid body and the straightforward controls on the D300. But at the same time I don't want to miss that resolution and detail plus on the D7100 anymore. If you are used to the controls on any prosumer Nikon it might need a little time to get used to the layout of the controls on the D7100, but that is nothing to worry about if you have that time. Also the smaller image buffer on the D7100 might be something to consider, as the burst rate just drops much more early than on the D300. As a fashion show photographer this drop in burst rate, is unacceptable. The D300 image buffer allowed taking 3 times the number of RAW pictures slowing down, as long as you agree on the fact that 12 bit raw is enough and you wont need 14 bit.
Finally, I believe, that if you don't care about using CF or SD cards, and if you don't care about having a camera body fully made of metal alloy or half synthetics, the D7100 will give you much more than just more image detail. It will give you a more advanced focussing system, a lighter body, a second memory card slot and of course Video. And all that for a very decent price tag. So for me it is really an option while not going to FX (more weight, more pricey lenses) but still having major image detail improvement and a few relevant features.
And as my friend Ivo says. It is a new toy to play with as well for sure. :)
One day I started filling a spreadsheet with all the languages I've used over the years (and with percentages of focus on each one) with the intention of creating a chart.
It got bigger than I expected. I guess never counted how many platforms I had actually used.
The original chart (created in LibreOffice) didn't look exactly good, so I decided to write custom code to plot the chart the exact way I wanted it to look like. This is the result. It was created with some messy JS code that rendered the data to a canvas object. I tweaked the colors a little bit and added the titles in Photoshop.
I think it's an interesting visualization of the platforms I've used. There are many different solutions to the problem, I think, but so far I'm pretty happy with this result.
Please view in the original size.
The source code can be found here. It was never meant to be released nor too flexible so it's a little bit too linear and hard-coded, but what the hell.

Εισαγωγή
φωνή Θεού
Ελληνική Χριστιανική ταινία «χτυπώντας την πόρτα» Οι χριστιανοί παρευρίσκονται στο γαμήλιο δείπνο μαζί με τον Κύριο (Τρέιλερ)
Ο Κύριος Ιησούς είπε: «Εν τω μέσω δε της νυκτός έγεινε κραυγή· Ιδού, ο νυμφίος έρχεται, εξέλθετε εις απάντησιν αυτού». (κατά Ματθαίον 25:6). «Ιδού, ίσταμαι εις την θύραν και κρούω· εάν τις ακούση της φωνής μου και ανοίξη την θύραν, θέλω εισέλθει προς αυτόν και θέλω δειπνήσει μετ’ αυτού και αυτός μετ’ εμού». (Αποκάλυψη 3:20). Κατά τα τελευταία δύο χιλιάδες χρόνια, εκείνοι που πιστεύουν στον Κύριο είναι σε επαγρύπνηση και περιμένουν τον Κύριο να κρούσει τη θύρα, άρα πώς Εκείνος θα κρούσει τη θύρα της ανθρωπότητας όταν επιστρέψει; Κατά τις έσχατες ημέρες, κάποιοι άνθρωποι έχουν επιμαρτυρήσει ότι ο Κύριος Ιησούς έχει επιστρέψει – ως ο ενσαρκωμένος Παντοδύναμος Θεός – και ότι εκτελεί το έργο της κρίσεως κατά τις έσχατες ημέρες. Αυτή η είδηση έχει ταράξει ολόκληρο τον θρησκευτικό κόσμο.
Η Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ, η πρωταγωνίστρια της ταινίας, πιστεύει στον Κύριο εδώ και δεκαετίες και έχει ήδη αρχίσει να εργάζεται και να κηρύσσει τον λόγο Του με ενθουσιασμό, περιμένοντας να υποδεχθεί την επιστροφή του Κυρίου. Μια μέρα, έρχονται δύο άνθρωποι και κρούουν τη θύρα, λένε στη Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ και στον σύζυγό της ότι ο Κύριος Ιησούς έχει επιστρέψει και μοιράζονται τον λόγο του Παντοδύναμου Θεού μαζί τους. Εκείνοι συγκινούνται βαθιά από τον λόγο του Παντοδύναμου Θεού, αλλά, επειδή η Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ έχει βιώσει την πλάνη, την εξαπάτηση και τις απαγορεύσεις των παστόρων και των πρεσβυτέρων, πετάει τους μάρτυρες της Εκκλησίας του Παντοδύναμου Θεού έξω από το σπίτι. Στη συνέχεια, οι μάρτυρες κρούουν τη θύρα τους πολλές φορές και διαβάζουν τον λόγο του Παντοδύναμου Θεού στη Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ, γινόμενοι μάρτυρες του έργου του Θεού των εσχάτων ημερών. Κατά την ίδια περίοδο, ο πάστορας ενοχλεί και εμποδίζει επανειλημμένα τη Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ, με αποτέλεσμα αυτή να συνεχίζει να αμφιταλαντεύεται. Ωστόσο, καθώς ακούει τον λόγο του Παντοδύναμου Θεού, η Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ καταλήγει να κατανοήσει την αλήθεια και καταφέρνει να κρίνει σωστά τις φήμες και τις πλάνες που διαδίδονται από τους πάστορες και τους πρεσβυτέρους. Τελικά, καταλαβαίνει με ποιον τρόπο ο Κύριος κρούει τις θύρες των ανθρώπων κατά την επιστροφή Του στις έσχατες ημέρες και πώς θα πρέπει να Τον υποδεχτεί η ίδια. Όταν καθαρίζει η «ομίχλη», η Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ ακούει επιτέλους τη φωνή του Θεού και αναγνωρίζει ότι ο Παντοδύναμος Θεός είναι πράγματι η επιστροφή του Κυρίου Ιησού!

From the gallery website:
The McMichael cemetery is the final resting place for six members of the Group of Seven, their spouses, and the gallery’s founders, Robert and Signe McMichael. While it was a provision of the 1965 Gift Agreement that the founders be buried on the gallery grounds, the consecrated cemetery was not established until 1968 at the suggestion of A.Y. Jackson and A.J. Casson.
In his book, One Man’s Obsession, Robert McMichael recalls receiving a letter from Jackson in 1967, in which the artist expressed a hope to be buried near Kleinburg. A few months later, while Jackson and Casson were visiting the McMichaels, the idea of a memorial cemetery for members of the Group of Seven began to take shape. In the spring of 1968, Jackson fell seriously ill and the need for a burial ground on the gallery premises became pressing. The McMichaels had to select an appropriate location for the cemetery that would be accessible, yet quiet and dignified. They soon settled on a small grassy knoll with views of the river valleys, the woods, the Tom Thomson Shack and the distant roofs of the gallery. Later, the McMichaels arranged to have the Department of Highways bring carefully selected slabs of granite, blasted during road building in the artists’ beloved north country, to the site. They were carved by Canadian sculptor, E.B. Cox and used as grave markers.
While his illness had prompted the cemetery’s construction, Jackson lived for several more years at the home of Robert and Signe McMichael.
The chronological development of the cemetery is as follows:

Lawren Stewart Harris (1885‐1970): Harris died in Vancouver, British Columbia on January 29, 1970 and was cremated. His ashes, along with those of his wife, Bess
(1889‐1969), were interred at the McMichael on March 20, 1970.
Alexander Young Jackson (1882‐1974): Jackson died on April 5, 1974 and was buried in a graveside service on April 8, 1974.
Frank Johnston(1888‐1949): Johnston died July 9, 1949 and was originally buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto. He was disinterred and reinterred at the McMichael on March 13, 1975. His wife, Florence, is buried with him.
Alfred Joseph Casson(1898‐1992): Casson died on February 19, 1992 in Toronto and was buried on February 20, 1992. His wife, Margaret (1900‐1992) is buried with him.
Robert McMichael(1921‐2003): Robert McMichael died on November 18, 2003 and was buried on November 24 following visitation and a funeral service at the gallery.
Signe McMichael(1921‐2007): Signe McMichael died on July 4, 2007. The gallery was closed for visitation and a funeral held on July 9.
This High Dynamic Range 360° panorama was stitched from 36 bracketed photographs with PTGUI Pro, tone-mapped with Photomatix, processed in Color Efex, then touched up in Aperture.

Das Einsetzen des HTML-Codes funktioniert bei mir seid Tagen nicht - möchte das Foto deshalb hier zeigen, da es unter dem Bild als Kommentar nicht geht.
Das ist eine abfotografierte offizielle Postkarte zu der Christo-Ausstellung im Gasometer Oberhausen, die jetzt leider zu Ende gegangen ist. Das Foto hier ist leider noch etwas heller als das Original und ist (oder soll sein) eine Farbaufnahme !
Das ist nicht der Himmel ;-) sondern eher die Hölle ...
Wie so oft stelle ich fest, dass die Ausrichter solcher Ausstellungen keine Ahnung von Fotografie haben und wundere mich, dass sie nicht in der Lage sind, das Foto mit der Wirklichkeit zu vergleichen ... oder direkt angenommen wird, dass es nicht besser geht ...
Im besten Falle ist das SOOC ;-) !

An offhand comment on Max's upload created a tag game. Being who I am, I went a little overboard and created a storyline. The first prince is the former middle child & older brother of the second and destined to rule their kingdom. There were originally 3 brothers but one died in war and now he is going through the paces of learning all he needs to be a proper king, though is still a bit flippant about it all. His younger brother is still the baby of kingdom who was kept by his mother's side and as such is a little more delicate than his older brothers. With one brother gone he's coming to grips with the fact that he might have to take the reins. He's not uncapable or too spoiled or anything, in several ways he'd be a more compassionate king than his brother, but he has a LOT of growing up to do.
The prince in green is the baby prince's love interest and were I able to make some sort of semblance of a plot/movie it would focus on their romance and the shifting dynamics between the brothers as they grieve their sibling & start to move forward in their new lives.
anyway - tag, you're it!

Εισαγωγή
Χριστιανικές Ταινίες «Το μυστήριο της ευσέβειας: η συνέχεια» κλιπ 1 - Πώς θα εμφανιστεί ο Κύριος στον άνθρωπο όταν έλθει ξανά;
Στο πέρασμα των αιώνων, από τότε που ο Κύριος Ιησούς αναστήθηκε και ανήλθε στον ουρανό, εμείς οι πιστοί λαχταρούμε διακαώς να επιστρέψει ο Ιησούς ο Σωτήρας. Οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι πιστεύουν ότι αυτό που θα μας εμφανιστεί όταν επιστρέψει ο Κύριος θα είναι το πνευματικό σώμα του αναστημένου Ιησού. Όμως γιατί κατά τις έσχατες ημέρες έχει εμφανιστεί ο Θεός στον άνθρωπο, ενσαρκωμένος ως ο Υιός του ανθρώπου; Ο Παντοδύναμος Θεός λέει: «Εάν ο Θεός δεν ενσαρκωνόταν, θα παρέμενε Πνεύμα, τόσο αόρατο όσο και μη απτό για τον άνθρωπο. Ο άνθρωπος είναι πλάσμα της σάρκας, και ο άνθρωπος και ο Θεός ανήκουν σε δύο διαφορετικούς κόσμους και έχουν διαφορετική φύση. Το Πνεύμα του Θεού είναι ασύμβατο με τον άνθρωπο της σάρκας και δεν μπορούν να δημιουργηθούν σχέσεις μεταξύ τους». «Μόνο μέσω της ενσάρκωσης μπορεί να παραδώσει προσωπικά τον λόγο Του στα αυτιά όλων, έτσι ώστε όλοι όσοι έχουν αυτιά να ακούσουν τον λόγο Του και να λάβουν το έργο της κρίσης του λόγου. Αυτό είναι το αποτέλεσμα που πέτυχε ο λόγος Του [...]» (Ο Λόγος Ενσαρκώνεται).

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.

Есть ли у нас истинная вера в Господа?
Что такое истинная вера на самом деле
Как сформировать истинную веру в Бога
От каждого из нас, христиан, Бог прежде всего требует обладания подлинной верой. В Библии описано множество примеров людей, которые благодаря своей вере смогли увидеть чудные дела Божьи и получить Его благословение. У Моисея былавера в Бога и посредством Божьего водительства он смог преодолеть множество препон и ограничений Фараона, с успехом возглавив израильтян в их исходе из Египта. Авраам имел веру в Бога и был готов принести в жертву Богу своего единственного сына Исаака, и в конечном итоге Бог благословил его, позволив его потомкам размножиться и стать великими народами. У Иова была вера в Бога, и во время двух испытаний он сумел остаться твердым в свидетельстве о Боге; Бог благословил Его более, нежели прежде, и явился ему и говорил с ним из бури. Женщина Хананеянка в Евангелии от Матфея имела веру в Господа Иисуса, веря, что Он может изгнать злого духа из ее дочери; она обратилась к Господу Иисусу с просьбой, и недуг ее дочери была излечен. Нам, как христианам, крайне важно понимать истину относительно того, что такое истинная вера, что, не важно с какими трудностями мы сталкиваемся в нашей жизни — с провалами в бизнесе, жизненными неудачами, несчастьями в семье — мы можем полагаться на нашу веру и неотступно следовать за Богом, громогласно свидетельствуя о Нем и в конечном итоге обретая Его одобрение.
Есть ли у нас истинная вера в Господа?
Могут найтись некоторые братья и сестры, которые, услышав дискуссию о вере, с уверенностью заявят, что у них точно есть вера. «Я верю в Бога на 100%. Я всегда признаю Бога, этим подтверждается, что я верующий». «Я верю, что Господь Иисус есть наш Спаситель, и что Он был распят, чтобы искупить нас от наших грехов. Пока мы молимся и исповедуемся пред Господом, Он всегда простит нам наши грехи. Разве это не вера в Господа?» «Я был верующим все эти годы; Чтобы посвятить всего себя и свой труд Господу, я отказался от карьеры, семьи и работы. Я повсюду основывал церкви и много страдал, никогда не жалуясь. Это все проявления веры в Бога». Несомненно, мы верим в существование Бога, и это факт, что мы с энтузиазмом работаем и полностью посвящаем себя Господу, что мы страдаем и дорого расплачиваемся за Него. Но значит ли это, что у нас есть истинная вера в Бога? Данный вопрос касается всех нас, братьев и сестер, которые искренне верят в Господа и жаждут истины, исследуя и проводя беседы.
Возьмем для примера меня. С тех пор, как я стала христианкой, я всегда активно участвовала в собраниях, делилась благой вестью с другими и предлагала поддержку братьям и сестрам, испытывающим слабость в вере. Никакие трудности не могли помешать мне заниматься этим. Я более чем готова оставить земные блага, чтобы с энтузиазмом служить Господу, поэтому я считаю себя той, которая любит Господа, предана Ему и имеет веру в Него. Однако, когда я и члены моей семьи заболели, и наше состояние не улучшилось даже после того, как я некоторое время молилась, я впала в уныние и разочаровалась в Боге. Я даже пожаловалась Ему, что он не защищает меня и мою семью. То, что было открыто суровой истиной, заставило меня понять, что мне совершенно не хватает подлинной веры, и что моя вера основывалась только на фундаменте семейной гармонии и свободы от физических болезней или бедствий. Тем не менее, мой истинный духовный рост был открыт, как только произошло что-то нежелательное. Только тогда я действительно увидела, что моя вера в Бога была настолько ничтожна, что вызывала жалость — это в самом деле не то, чем стоит хвастаться. Глядя на братьев и сестер вокруг меня, я видела, что большинство из них были такими же. Некоторые, чтобы не пострадали их личные интересы, вообще перестают посещать церковные служения, когда они вступают в конфликт с их графиком домашних дел или работы. Другие могут молиться Господу и просить Его о выходе, когда они впервые зашли в тупик в попытках найти работу или в других аспектах, но если это по-прежнему остается нерешенной проблемой, у них растет недовольство Господом, и они могут даже впасть в уныние и разочароваться. Они начинают полагаться на друзей из своего окружения, которые выглядят влиятельными и авторитетными, или могут действовать, руководствуясь своими собственными соображениями. Есть также братья и сестры, которые, получив Господни благословения, с энтузиазмом участвуют во всех аспектах церковной работы, но когда у них дома происходит что-то ужасное, или же они сталкиваются с неудачами в бизнесе, они начинают жить, не понимая Господа и сетуя на Него, а то и вовсе отходят от Него.

Rottura dell’accerchiamento di Satana
di Zhao Gang, Cina
Faceva un freddo pungente lo scorso novembre nel nordest della Cina: la neve che cadeva al suolo non si scioglieva e molte persone che camminavano per le strade avevano così freddo che si tenevano le mani sotto le ascelle e procedevano con cautela, col corpo incurvato in avanti. L’altro giorno di mattina presto il vento soffiava da nordovest quando io, mio cognato e sua moglie e una dozzina di fratelli e sorelle eravamo seduti a casa mia sul letto caldo. Ognuno aveva con sé una Bibbia e teneva in mano una copia del libro delle parole di Dio intitolato “Il giudizio comincia dalla casa di Dio”. Due sorelle della Chiesa di Dio Onnipotente stavano tenendo una comunicazione sulla verità riguardante le tre fasi dell’opera di Dio. Durante la comunicazione le due sorelle tracciavano un quadro delle tre fasi dell’opera: “L’opera di Dio per la salvezza dell’umanità si può suddividere in tre fasi. Dall’Età della Legge all’Età della Grazia e poi all’Età del Regno, ogni fase dell’opera è più elevata e più profonda della precedente. Quella compiuta negli ultimi giorni è la fase finale dell’opera, in cui Dio esprime parole per giudicare e purificare l’uomo…” Noi annuivamo ascoltando e il nostro cuore si colmava di luce: chi avrebbe pensato che il piano di gestione di Dio per la salvezza dell’umanità racchiudesse tanti misteri! A parte Dio Stesso, chi altri potrebbe parlare così chiaramente dei misteri di queste tre fasi dell’opera di Dio? Questa è veramente l’opera di Dio! La comunicazione è proseguita fino alla sera del giorno seguente, e tutto il nostro gruppo ha espresso la volontà di ricercare ed esaminare l’opera di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni.
Dopo di che le due sorelle hanno tenuto una comunicazione sulla verità riguardante il significato dell’incarnazione di Dio, e tutti noi stavamo ascoltando attentamente quando, tutt’a un tratto, è arrivata Wang Ping, capo della nostra Chiesa. Non appena entrata in casa, ha puntato il dito contro le due sorelle della Chiesa di Dio Onnipotente e mi ha domandato: “Che ci fanno qui queste due?” Ho risposto francamente: “Queste sono la sorella Zhang e la sorella Mu…” Ma prima ancora che finissi di parlare, mi ha detto con tono esasperato: “Chi sono la sorella Zhang e la sorella Mu? Vedo che sono predicatrici del Lampo da Levante, sono ladre di pecorelle…” Quando Wang Ping ha finito di parlare, siamo tutti rimasti lì seduti sconvolti. Ho pensato: “La sorella Wang Ping ha parlato quasi sempre di amare il prossimo come noi stessi e di amare i propri nemici; come mai oggi viene qui a dire cose tanto irragionevoli? Perché giudica e condanna queste due sorelle?” Riflettevo su queste cose quando ho sentito la sorella Zhang dire pacatamente a Wang Ping: “Sorella, non ci sono secondi fini nella nostra presenza qui oggi. Il Signore Gesù è già ritornato. Vogliamo soltanto comunicarvi il Vangelo di Dio degli ultimi giorni…” Wang Ping ha interrotto la sorella Zhang gridando: “Il Signore è ritornato? Nemmeno quanti di noi hanno la funzione di capi sanno niente del ritorno del Signore, e allora come fate a saperlo voi? Non è possibile! Il Signore Gesù ha detto: ‘Tutti quelli che sono venuti, sono stati ladri e briganti; ma le pecore non li hanno ascoltati’ (Giovanni 10:8). Dovete andarvene tutte e due subito e non tornare mai più”. Quando ho udito Wang Ping dire così, interiormente ho provato disgusto: i suoi sermoni sono di solito tanto ragionati e ben argomentati; come mai tutt’a un tratto si dimostra così priva di compassione? Allora ho domandato a Wang Ping: “Sorella Wang, è tardi. Dove vuoi che vadano? Il Signore ci insegna che dobbiamo amare i nostri nemici, per non parlare di queste due sorelle che credono in Dio. Se trattiamo loro due in questo modo, non assomiglieremo affatto a credenti nel Signore…” Ma prima ancora che potessi concludere quello che stavo dicendo, Wang Ping con impazienza ha preso la mano della moglie di mio cognato e ha detto a lei e al marito: “Se Zhao Gang non vuole che queste due donne se ne vadano, allora ce ne andiamo noi. Non ascoltatele più!” Quindi è uscita furiosamente trascinandosi dietro i due.
Quando se ne sono andati, la sorella Mu si è rivolta a noi e ha domandato: “Fratelli e sorelle, che vi sembra della scena di cui siamo appena stati testimoni? Parliamone”. Tutti i fratelli e le sorelle si sono voltati verso di me, senza che nessuno dicesse una parola. Ho detto francamente: “Sorella, tramite la lettura della parola di Dio Onnipotente in questi ultimi due giorni e l’ascolto della tua comunicazione, io credo fermamente che le parole di Dio Onnipotente siano la verità e che Dio Onnipotente sia il ritorno del Signore Gesù. Tuttavia Wang Ping non ha tutti i torti. In fin dei conti, lei è il nostro capo e ha fede nel Signore da tanto tempo. È molto esperta della Bibbia e si è sempre data da fare e si è spesa per il Signore. Se il Signore è ritornato, lei dovrebbe essere la prima a saperlo”. La sorella Zhang ha risposto gentilmente dicendo: “Molti credono che il ritorno di Dio debba essere rivelato prima ai capi che poi ne parlano ai fedeli, ma nelle parole del Signore questo modo di pensare ha forse un reale fondamento? È conforme alla verità e ai dati di fatto dell’opera di Dio? Il Signore Gesù disse: ‘Le Mie pecore ascoltano la Mia voce e Io le conosco, ed esse Mi seguono’ (Giovanni 10:27). ‘Chi ha orecchi ascolti ciò che lo Spirito dice alle Chiese’ (Apocalisse 2:7). Il Signore Gesù ci dice chiaramente che quando arriverà di sicuro pronuncerà delle parole ed esprimerà la verità e tutti coloro che sentono la voce di Dio e poi ricercano e la riconoscono accoglieranno il ritorno del Signore e saranno innalzati al cospetto di Dio. Il Signore ha detto forse che al Suo ritorno avrebbe illuminato qualche capo con la conoscenza del Suo avvento? No. Pertanto questa opinione non fa che fuorviare e confondere le persone, che allora, se aspettano che il Signore le illumini in linea con questa affermazione, stanno ad aspettare passivamente l’avvento della fine. Guardiamo che cosa è detto nelle parole di Dio Onnipotente. Dice Dio Onnipotente: ‘Ancora più persone credono che, qualunque sia l’opera nuova di Dio, debba essere confermata dalle profezie e che in ogni fase di tale opera a tutti coloro che seguono Dio con cuore sincero debbano essere mostrate anche delle rivelazioni, altrimenti l’opera non potrebbe appartenere a Dio. Conoscere Dio è già un compito arduo per l’uomo. Considerando, poi, il cuore irrazionale dell’uomo e la sua natura ribelle fatta di egoismo e presunzione, sarà ancora più difficile che l’uomo accetti l’opera nuova di Dio. L’uomo non esamina l’opera nuova di Dio con cura né la accetta con umiltà; piuttosto, assume un atteggiamento di disprezzo, aspettando le rivelazioni e la guida di Dio. Non è questo il comportamento di un uomo che si ribella e si oppone a Dio? Questi uomini come possono ottenere l’approvazione di Dio?’ (“Come può l’uomo che ha delimitato Dio nelle sue concezioni ricevere le rivelazioni di Dio?” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Dalle parole di Dio capiamo che, per la questione dell’avvento del Signore, se le persone si attengono ciecamente alle loro concezioni e fantasie e non ricercano la verità e non si concentrano sull’udire la voce di Dio, ma si limitano ad aspettare che Dio le illumini, non potranno mai accogliere il ritorno del Signore. Soltanto coloro che si impegnano nell’ascoltare la voce di Dio sono in grado di accogliere la manifestazione del Signore. In effetti, nemmeno uno di coloro che seguirono il Signore Gesù nell’Età della Grazia fu illuminato da Dio prima che seguisse Gesù. Tutti sentirono qualcun altro testimoniare il Signore Gesù oppure ascoltarono il Signore parlare o tenere un sermone, e Lo seguirono solo dopo avere riconosciuto la voce del Signore. Anche se Pietro ricevette l’illuminazione da parte di Dio e riconobbe nel Signore Gesù il Cristo e il Figlio di Dio, questo avvenne soltanto dopo che ebbe seguito il Signore Gesù per un certo tempo; solo quando giunse ad avere una certa conoscenza del Signore dalle Sue parole e dalla Sua opera ottenne l’illuminazione e la rivelazione dello Spirito Santo: questo è un dato di fatto. Ora, negli ultimi giorni, Dio Onnipotente incarnato esprime la verità e compie l’opera di giudicare, purificare e salvare l’umanità. Molti accolgono e seguono Dio Onnipotente, ma fra loro non ce n’è uno che abbia ottenuto l’illuminazione da parte di Dio prima di seguirLo. Dio è giusto e certamente non favorisce nessuno. Dio Si rallegra delle persone di buon cuore che anelano a ricercare la verità. Proprio come disse il Signore Gesù: ‘Beati quelli che sono affamati e assetati di giustizia, perché saranno saziati’ (Matteo 5:6). ‘Beati i puri di cuore, perché vedranno Dio’ (Matteo 5:8). Dio Onnipotente inoltre ha detto: ‘Dio cerca coloro che anelano alla Sua apparizione. Egli cerca coloro che sono in grado di prestare ascolto alle Sue parole, che non abbiano dimenticato l’assegnazione del Suo compito e Gli offrano il loro cuore e il loro corpo. Cerca coloro che siano obbedienti come bambini nei Suoi confronti, e che non Gli facciano resistenza’ (“Dio sovrintende al destino dell’intera umanità” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Questo ci fa capire che, se l’uomo ama la verità e ha sete di verità, indipendentemente dal fatto che abbia o no qualche prestigio o da quanto capisca la Bibbia, Dio lo illuminerà e lo guiderà e gli consentirà di udire la Sua voce e di testimoniare la Sua manifestazione. Se coloro che fungono da capi ritengono che Dio al Suo ritorno debba prima illuminare loro, questo indica che non hanno alcuna comprensione dell’opera di Dio e non conoscono l’indole giusta di Dio. Inoltre rivela la loro grande arroganza. Nella parola di Dio Onnipotente è detto: ‘E così dico che coloro che “vedono chiaramente” Dio e la Sua opera sono impotenti, e sono solo arroganti e ignoranti. L’uomo non dovrebbe definire l’opera di Dio; inoltre, non può definirla. Agli occhi di Dio, l’uomo è più piccolo di una formica, perciò come può comprendere l’opera di Dio? Coloro che dicono costantemente “Dio non opera in questo o in quel modo” o “Dio è come questo o come quello”, non sono forse degli arroganti?’ (Introduzione a “La Parola appare nella carne”). L’onnipotenza e la sapienza di Dio sono di una profondità insondabile. Gli esseri umani sono soltanto minuscole creature. La nostra mente e i nostri pensieri sono limitati, e allora come potremmo sondare l’opera del Creatore? Pertanto, in attesa del ritorno del Signore, dobbiamo serbare nel cuore la venerazione per Dio e ricercare ed esaminare attentamente. Non dobbiamo usare le nostre concezioni e fantasie per limitare Dio e giudicarLo arbitrariamente, poiché questo offenderà l’indole di Dio e inoltre pregiudicherà le nostre possibilità di conseguire la vera salvezza”.
Dopo aver ascoltato la parola di Dio, ho capito che noi al cospetto di Dio siamo davvero insignificanti, più ancora di una formica. Inoltre siamo stati corrotti da Satana al punto che siamo pervasi dall’indole corrotta dell’arroganza e della presunzione. Amiamo affidarci sempre alle nostre fantasie e concezioni per limitare Dio e, quando l’opera di Dio non è conforme alle nostre concezioni, perfino rinneghiamo Dio, Lo condanniamo e ci opponiamo a Lui. Evidentemente, se l’uomo non capisce la verità e non ha nel cuore nemmeno un briciolo di venerazione per Dio, allora oserà fare tutto ciò che vuole. Ed è una cosa davvero pericolosa! Questo mi ha fatto rammentare ciò che disse il Signore Gesù: “Io Ti rendo lode, o Padre, Signore del cielo e della terra, perché hai nascosto queste cose ai sapienti e agli intelligenti, e le hai rivelate ai piccoli. Sì, Padre, perché così Ti è piaciuto” (Matteo 11:25-26). Soltanto oggi ho capito che le cose stanno veramente così! La rivelazione della parola di Dio e la comunicazione della sorella Zhang mi hanno consentito di riconoscere che questa idea secondo cui “i capi devono essere i primi a essere illuminati riguardo alla conoscenza dell’avvento del Signore al Suo ritorno” è falsa e assurda, proprio non è conforme alla verità e deriva interamente dalle concezioni e fantasie dell’uomo. In realtà, soltanto coloro che hanno sete di verità e ricercano la voce di Dio avranno l’occasione di ricevere l’opera di Dio e la Sua guida e di essere condotti al cospetto di Dio. Questo mi ha offerto una nuova comprensione dell’equità e della giustizia di Dio. Sia ringraziato Dio!
La mattina presto del terzo giorno, quando la sorella Zhang e la sorella Mu se n’erano andate, il mio confratello Guan, collaboratore di alto rango della nostra Chiesa, è venuto da me e mi ha domandato: “Fratello Zhao, ho sentito che voi due adesso credete nel Lampo da Levante”. Gli ho risposto con fervore: “Sì, ho accolto l’opera di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni, perché tramite le parole di Dio Onnipotente sono giunto a capire molte verità che prima non capivo, per esempio i misteri delle tre fasi della Sua opera e il significato dell’incarnazione di Dio. Vedo che le parole di Dio Onnipotente sono ‘Ciò che lo Spirito dice alle Chiese’ come profetizzato nel libro dell’Apocalisse”. Il fratello Guan mi ha guardato e ha detto: “Fratello Zhao, davvero intendi seguire ciò che dicono queste persone? Sai che genere di persone sono?” Ho risposto: “Vedo che tutti hanno una grandiosa natura umana e comunicano molto chiaramente riguardo alla verità. Tutto ciò di cui parlano è in relazione alle verità dell’opera di Dio. In questi ultimi due giorni ho davvero acquisito molto”. Il fratello Guan mi ha detto rabbiosamente: “Come puoi essere così testardo? La Lettera agli Ebrei, 6,6-8, ci dice: ‘E poi sono caduti, è impossibile ricondurli di nuovo al ravvedimento, perché crocifiggono di nuovo per conto loro il Figlio di Dio e Lo espongono a infamia. Quando una terra, imbevuta della pioggia che vi cade frequentemente, produce erbe utili a quelli che la coltivano, riceve benedizione da Dio; ma se produce spine e rovi, è riprovata e prossima a essere maledetta, e la sua fine sarà di essere bruciata’. Tu sei un predicatore, gioisci tanto della grazia del Signore, ma non solo non stai guidando fratelli e sorelle a credere nel Signore, ma anzi li induci ad abbandonare la nostra Chiesa. Non temi di essere punito? Se non torni indietro, perderai la protezione del Signore e non vivrai una vita felice. Le tue malattie precedenti avranno una ricaduta e i tuoi due figli non troveranno un buon lavoro…”
Quando il fratello Guan se n’è andato, mi sono sentito piuttosto nervoso e ho pensato: le cose che ha detto sembrano in parte ragionevoli, e allora che devo fare nel caso in cui la mia fede in Dio Onnipotente mi facesse perdere la grazia del Signore? Riflettendo su questo, ho sentito il mio cuore indebolirsi, perciò mi sono affrettato a inginocchiarmi e ho pregato Dio: “Dio Onnipotente! Le parole del fratello Guan mi hanno fatto sentire piuttosto debole. Dio! Le cose che mi ha detto sono effettivamente vere o no? Adesso proprio non so che fare…” Mentre pregavo Dio, è ritornata mia moglie e le ho riferito quello che era appena successo. Nel sentire queste cose, mi ha detto nervosamente: “Davvero ha parlato così?” Ho annuito, e mia moglie ha detto preoccupata: “È un capo importante che crede nel Signore da molti anni ed è esperto della Bibbia. Non penso che dica menzogne. Se davvero succederà come dice lui, che cosa dobbiamo fare?” Proprio in quel momento ho pensato alla verità delle tre fasi dell’opera di Dio su cui avevano tenuto una comunicazione la sorella Zhang e la sorella Mu: l’opera di Dio per la salvezza dell’umanità è suddivisa in tre fasi, ma tutte e tre le fasi dell’opera sono compiute da un unico Dio. Quando ho pensato così, all’improvviso mi è divenuto tutto chiaro e sono sbottato rivolgendomi a mia moglie: “Quello che dice il fratello Guan non mi pare giusto. Dice che accogliendo l’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni stiamo abbandonando la via del Signore e tradendo il Signore Gesù, ma le parole di Dio Onnipotente che abbiamo letto nei giorni scorsi sono veramente la voce di Dio e Dio Onnipotente è il ritorno del Signore Gesù. Seguendo Dio Onnipotente, in realtà seguiamo le orme dell’Agnello. Siamo noi le vergini sagge. Perché il Signore dovrebbe punirci?” Eravamo nel pieno di una comunicazione a questo riguardo quando sono arrivate la sorella Zhang e la sorella Mu…
Mia moglie ha riferito alle sorelle quello che aveva detto il fratello Guan quando era venuto a casa nostra, e la sorella Zhang mi ha domandato come mi sembrasse tutta questa faccenda. Così ho parlato alle sorelle della debolezza che avevo provato e della comprensione che avevo appena raggiunto. La sorella Zhang ha sorriso dicendo: “Sia ringraziato Dio! Questa è una comprensione davvero pura ed è l’illuminazione e la guida di Dio!” Mia moglie ha domandato, confusa: “Siccome noi non ci siamo smarriti, perché il fratello Guan dice queste cose? È un capo importante che crede nel Signore da molti anni!” Ho guardato mia moglie e ho detto: “Vuole soltanto che ritorniamo nella nostra Chiesa precedente!” La sorella Zhang ha sorriso e ha detto: “In questo momento, tutto ciò che possiamo vedere sono le loro apparenze esteriori, ma non abbiamo esaminato la sostanza della loro natura! Il Signore Gesù disse: ‘Ma guai a voi, scribi e farisei ipocriti, perché serrate il Regno dei Cieli davanti alla gente; poiché non vi entrate voi, né lasciate entrare quelli che cercano di entrare’ (Matteo 23:13). ‘Guai a voi, scribi e farisei ipocriti, perché siete simili a sepolcri imbiancati, che appaiono belli di fuori, ma dentro sono pieni d’ossa di morti e d’ogni immondizia’ (Matteo 23:27). A giudicare dalle apparenze esteriori, i farisei erano assai leali nel servire Dio. Nella mente delle persone, i farisei erano servi devoti di Dio ed erano le autorità religiose più degne di fiducia. Però, quando il Signore Gesù venne a compiere la Sua opera, fu rivelata la natura di opposizione a Dio dei farisei. Furono questi farisei a opporsi sfrenatamente e a condannare l’opera del Signore Gesù. Inventarono ogni genere di dicerie e resero falsa testimonianza per ingannare la gente comune. Dicevano che il Signore Gesù scacciasse i demoni tramite Belzebù, il principe dei diavoli. E quando il Signore Gesù risorse tre giorni dopo essere stato crocifisso, corruppero i soldati perché diffondessero dicerie secondo cui il corpo del Signore Gesù sarebbe stato trafugato dai Suoi discepoli, fra l’altro. I farisei inventavano ogni genere di menzogne e usavano tutti i trucchi a loro disposizione per impedire alle persone di ricercare ed esaminare la vera via. Il loro scopo era eliminare l’opera di Dio in modo da poter mantenere per sempre il loro dominio sul popolo eletto di Dio. Anche se esteriormente apparivano devoti, nella sostanza erano degli anticristo che odiavano la verità ed erano nemici di Dio. Nello smascherarli e condannarli, il Signore Gesù disse: ‘Serpenti, razza di vipere, come scamperete al giudizio della geenna?’ (Matteo 23:33). Allora adesso riflettiamo: questi capi religiosi di oggi sono forse diversi dai farisei?” Le sorelle quindi mi hanno chiesto di leggere un brano delle parole di Dio Onnipotente: “Quelli che leggono la Bibbia in grandi chiese, recitano la Bibbia tutti i giorni ma non capiscono lo scopo dell’opera di Dio. Non uno è in grado di conoscere Dio; inoltre, nessuno è in sintonia con il cuore di Dio. Sono tutti uomini meschini e privi di valore, così boriosi da voler insegnare a Dio. Anche se brandiscono il nome di Dio, Gli si oppongono ostinatamente. Anche se si fregiano della definizione di credenti in Dio, sono quelli che mangiano la carne e bevono il sangue dell’uomo. Tutti questi uomini sono diavoli che divorano l’anima dell’uomo, capi demoni che volutamente disturbano coloro che cercano di percorrere la strada giusta, sono pietre di inciampo che impediscono il cammino di quanti cercano Dio. Anche se sono ‘fortemente carnali’, come fanno i loro seguaci a sapere che sono anticristi che guidano l’uomo a opporsi a Dio? Come fanno a sapere che sono diavoli vivi che cercano espressamente anime da divorare?” (“Tutti coloro che non conoscono Dio sono coloro che si oppongono a Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le sorelle ci hanno tenuto una comunicazione dettagliata in riferimento a queste parole di Dio, analizzando tutte le azioni dei capi religiosi e la sostanza della loro natura, e alla fine sono giunto a capire che questi capi persistono nell’intralciarci e nell’impedirci di credere in Dio Onnipotente e perfino ci rivolgono minacce e intimidazioni, non per proteggerci, bensì per mantenere il loro dominio sul popolo eletto di Dio, affinché noi li adoriamo e li veneriamo come se fossero Dio. Perciò in realtà sono uguali ai farisei. Sono tutti degli anticristo che odiano la verità e si oppongono a Dio. Dio è venuto a salvarci, ma loro escogitano ogni metodo possibile per impedirci di accogliere l’opera di Dio e di leggere le Sue parole. Così facendo, non ci stanno forse trascinando all’inferno? Sono davvero malevoli! Se non fosse che le parole di Dio Onnipotente rivelano la sostanza di come queste persone si oppongano a Dio e si contendano l’uomo con Dio, mi sarei forse fatto ingannare dai loro trucchi, frustrando la mia possibilità di conseguire la vera salvezza. In quel momento, mia moglie ha detto con stupore: “A quanto pare, loro sono qui per farci del male! Queste persone davvero non molleranno finché non ci avranno trascinati all’inferno! Non crederò più a quello che dicono”.
La sorella Mu allora ci ha letto un altro brano delle parole di Dio: “In ogni fase dell’opera che Dio compie dentro le persone, esternamente sembra che si tratti di un’interazione tra le persone, come se tutto nascesse da disposizioni o da interferenze umane. Ma dietro le quinte, ogni fase dell’opera e tutto ciò che accade, è una scommessa fatta da Satana davanti a Dio, una scommessa che richiede che le persone rimangano salde nella loro testimonianza di fede a Dio. Considera quando Giobbe è stato messo alla prova, per esempio: dietro le quinte, Satana stava facendo una scommessa con Dio, e ciò che è accaduto a Giobbe era legato alle azioni degli uomini e alla loro interferenza. Dietro ogni passo che Dio compie dentro di voi, vi è la scommessa di Satana con Dio – dietro ogni cosa vi è una battaglia” (“Solo amare Dio vuol dire credere veramente in Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Quindi la sorella Zhang ha dato inizio alla sua comunicazione: “Dalle parole di Dio vediamo che, qualunque cosa ci accada, anche se esteriormente può sembrare opera dell’uomo, in realtà è Satana che scommette con Dio dietro le quinte. È proprio come quando Giobbe fu tentato da Satana. Sua moglie gli chiedeva di abbandonare Jahvè, ma Giobbe riuscì a capire i trucchi di Satana. Si affidò alla propria fede in Dio e testimoniò Dio, rimproverando sua moglie perché era una donna ignorante e ostinata. Le esperienze di Giobbe ci fanno capire che, quando Dio intende salvare qualcuno, Satana lo tenterà sempre sfrenatamente e lo intralcerà e tirerà fuori tutti i trucchi a sua disposizione per attaccarlo e indurlo ad abbandonare e tradire Dio e in definitiva a perdere la possibilità di conseguire la vera salvezza. Poiché Satana intende dominare e divorare l’uomo per sempre, non vuole proprio che l’uomo consegua la salvezza offerta da Dio”. Anche la sorella Mu ha tenuto una comunicazione: “È vero. Ripetutamente Satana usa i capi perché ci rivolgano attacchi e intimidazioni, allo scopo di indurci a rinnegare Dio, tradirLo e abbandonare la vera via. Questi sono i trucchi di Satana. Dobbiamo riuscire a vedere chiaramente questa lotta che si svolge nel mondo spirituale”. Dopo avere ascoltato la comunicazione delle due sorelle, ho riflettuto per un po’ su queste cose e poi ho detto: “Allora Satana sta facendo una scommessa con Dio, e attraverso le cose che dicono i capi Satana ci attacca dove siamo deboli e vuole che abbandoniamo la vera via e ci allontaniamo da Dio per via della nostra codardia! Satana è davvero infido!” Allora mia moglie ha detto: “Satana è proprio repellente! Se non avessimo ascoltato le parole di Dio e la vostra comunicazione, come avremmo potuto sapere che questa era una macchinazione di Satana?” Ho detto con gioia: “Adesso che capiamo queste cose, dobbiamo affidarci a Dio per rompere l’accerchiamento di Satana, testimoniare Dio e svergognare Satana con le nostre azioni concrete!” La sorella Zhang allora ha detto allegra: “Fratello, sorella, d’ora in poi riuniamoci più spesso per comunicare riguardo alla parola di Dio. Solo in questo modo possiamo attrezzarci con una parte maggiore di verità in modo da essere presto certi dell’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni e porre le fondamenta della vera via, e allora non saremo più ingannati da tutte quelle dicerie e vere e proprie menzogne di Satana”. Ho detto: “Ottimo! Sarebbe bellissimo se voi poteste venire più spesso a tenere comunicazioni con noi”. La sorella Mu ha sorriso e ha detto: “Allora faremo proprio così”.
La mattina presto qualche giorno dopo, mi sono alzato dal letto e guardando fuori dalla finestra ho visto che c’era stata una forte nevicata, e inconsciamente mi sono messo a sfregarmi le mani. Poi ho indossato un berretto di lana e dei guanti di cotone e sono andato in cortile a spazzare la neve. Quando ho finito, sono rientrato e ho aperto il coperchio della stufa per attizzare il fuoco, mentre mia moglie riordinava la casa. In quel momento sono arrivati il fratello maggiore di mia moglie e sua moglie, e mia cognata, appena entrata, ha detto con voce ansiosa: “Il capo Wang e il collaboratore Guan sono venuti qui e hanno parlato tanto con voi, come potete non ascoltarli? Ci hanno chiesto specificamente di venire qui oggi per cercare di nuovo di persuadervi. Non dovete credere più al Lampo da Levante. Sono i nostri capi ad assumersi la responsabilità della nostra vita!” Quando l’ho sentita parlare così, ho detto con fermezza: “Se davvero si assumono la responsabilità della nostra vita, allora dovrebbero guidarci a studiare l’opera di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni e ad accogliere il ritorno del Signore!” Mia moglie ha quindi detto con franchezza: “Non fanno così per il nostro interesse. Temono che se tutti noi crediamo in Dio Onnipotente non rimarrà più nessuno ad ascoltarli”. Mia cognata si è piuttosto irritata nel sentire queste parole e ha detto: “Come potete voi due dire cose simili? Non vi hanno chiesto di fare altro. Non vogliono forse soltanto che ritorniate nella Chiesa? Ascoltatemi. Pensate che io voglia farvi del male, visto che le nostre famiglie sono così vicine?” Il fratello di mia moglie ha proseguito: “Pensate a come vi ho trattati nel corso degli anni. Sapete quante cose ho fatto per voi? Avete davvero cuore di separarvi da noi? Non vi sentite in colpa?” Nel sentire loro due dire queste cose, mi sono sentito sconvolto e ho pensato: “Davvero ci hanno aiutati molto, e adesso vedono che insistiamo nel seguire Dio Onnipotente. Certo, si sentono profondamente feriti, ma che cosa si può fare? Possono chiedermi di abbandonare la vera via e tradire Dio, ma non posso proprio farlo, perché so che Dio Onnipotente è il ritorno del Signore Gesù. Ma se insisto nel credere in Dio Onnipotente, che cosa penseranno di me? Diranno che sono un ingrato?” In quel momento mi sentivo sconvolto, come se il cuore mi venisse strattonato in due direzioni diverse. In silenzio ho pregato Dio, chiedendoGli di indicarmi una via d’uscita. All’improvviso ho pensato a queste parole di Dio: “Tutto ciò che accade alle persone è segno che Dio ha bisogno che restino salde nella loro testimonianza di fedeverso di Lui” (“Solo amare Dio vuol dire credere veramente in Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Allora ho ripensato alle parole che mi avevano comunicato alcuni giorni prima la sorella Zhang e la sorella Mu: tutto ciò che ti accade è in relazione con la lotta che si svolge nel mondo spirituale, ed è Satana che fa una scommessa con Dio. Pensavo: “Oggi il fratello di mia moglie e mia cognata hanno cercato di sfruttare la nostra parentela per spingerci a tradire Dio e a ritornare alla religione, ma questo è un trucco di Satana. Se io dovessi tradire Dio per tutelare i miei sentimenti privati, sarebbe una cosa davvero ingrata e indicherebbe che io sono privo di coscienza. Se non voglio deludere mio cognato, devo comunicare il Vangelo di Dio degli ultimi giorni, in modo che abbiano anche loro l’occasione di conseguire la salvezza offerta da Dio. Questo è l’unico modo per mostrare la compassione che dovrei avere”. Mentre pensavo così, il cuore all’improvviso mi si è colmato di luce, e ho detto: “Fratello, cognata, so che voi due siete stati buoni con me, ed è per questo che devo dirvi che Dio Onnipotente è davvero il ritorno del Signore Gesù. Solo seguendo l’opera di Dio Onnipotente degli ultimi giorni potremo conseguire la salvezza offerta da Dio! Altrimenti la nostra fede nel Signore in tutti questi anni sarà stata vana e noi non otterremo niente! Ecco, permettetemi di leggervi un brano delle parole di Dio, e quando l’avrete ascoltato saprete se queste parole sono la verità o no e se sono o non sono i discorsi di Dio”. Ho preso il mio libro delle parole di Dio e stavo per mettermi a leggere, quando mia cognata si è alzata di scatto e ha detto sconfortata: “Siamo venuti qui oggi per cercare di persuadervi, ma anziché cambiare idea cercate perfino di comunicarci questo Vangelo, ma noi non vi ascolteremo”. Detto questo, è uscita incollerita, trascinando via il marito.
Li ho seguiti in cortile fino all’ingresso, ma ho visto che si erano già allontanati. Sentendomi smarrito, sono rimasto lì scrollando il capo. In quel momento ho visto che il cielo si era rischiarato e che fuori nel cortile una luce calda investiva un pino. La neve che si era accumulata sul pino ha cominciato a sciogliersi, come se proprio in quel momento l’albero fosse stato battezzato. In contrasto col terreno ricoperto di neve, l’albero alto e diritto appariva particolarmente verdeggiante. Mi sono sentito molto felice, come se, al pari del pino, anch’io fossi stato battezzato col vento e con la neve e fossi cresciuto col nutrimento del sole. Sapevo che le parole di Dio mi avevano guidato a rompere questo accerchiamento e a testimoniarLo. Sia ringraziato Dio Onnipotente!

Physical characteristics
Nominate race pale sandy-buff, tinged pinkish below, feathers of crest with white subterminal spots and blac tips. White band across tips of primaries, white tips on inner primaries. Bill grey, legs rather short, flesh-grey to dark grey. Sexes similar except female slightly smaller and duller, throat more whitish. Races vary mainly in size, depth of coloration and some other details.
Habitat
Occurs in open woodland, pastures, orchards, sand-heathland, parkland, farmland, also seppe and broken ground. In Africa occurs also in dry and wooded savanna. Favours short-grass or bare ground, with scattered trees or cliffs to holes for roosting and nesting.
Other details
Upupa epops is a widespread breeder across much of the southern half of Europe, which accounts for less than a quarter of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is large (>890,000 pairs), and was stable between 1970-1990. Although the species was stable across much of Europe during 1990-2000, several populations suffered declines, most notably the sizeable one in Turkey, and the species probably underwent a moderate decline (>10%) overall. Consequently, this previously Secure species is now provisionally evaluated as Declining.
Feeding
Diet mostly large insects and their larvae and pupae, also small vertebrates: lizards, snakes, frogs, and geckos. Usually forages alone, or pairs feed in close proximity. Forages mostly on ground, digging and probing with bill in soft earth, also turns over leaves and other debris.
Breeding
Breeds January-May in Palearctic, August-Jan in Africa, and January-June in Malay Peninsula. In Southern areas double brooded. Monogamous, solitary and territorial breeder. Nest is built in natural hole in stump, tree, wall, old building or cliff. Unlined or slightly lined. 5-8 eggs in Palearctic and 4-7 in tropics. incubation by female for a period of 16-18 days. Nestling downy in first 3-5 days, later covered in long spiny quills. First breeding at 1 year.
Migration
Migratory in northern parts of range, partially migratory to resident elsewhere. Nominate epops, breeding in all west Palearctic except Egypt and southern Algeria, winters in small numbers in North Africa and Mediterranean basin, only exceptionally further north. Probably most European migrants winter in Africa south of Sahara, where not distinguishable in the field from local senegalensis. Migration (much of which nocturnal) occurs on broad front across Europe and Mediterranean, and probably across Sahara also. Migration seasons notably protracted. Autumn dispersal spans mid-July to late October or even into November; normal termination period masked by overwintering in southern breeding areas. Begin arriving south of Sahara in second half of August, with main arrivals there September-October. Return movement detected from early February in Morocco and Malta; at peak mid-March to April, tailing off during May. In Britain and Ireland, recorded in every month but chiefly in spring, with marked peak April-May; autumn records peak September; spring records involve overshooting in anticyclonic weather and arrivals in overcast conditions with fronts moving into English Channel and North Sea. Individuals of the dark east Palearctic race saturata apparently occur regularly in Sweden in autumn, perhaps as a result of reversed migration, some remaining through winter.
Douglas, AZ (est. 1905, pop. ~16,500) • founded as a copper smelting site with a border crossing at Mexican sister city Agua Prieta (pop. 79,138) • "Coming and going between the two cities was 'like walking across the street.'" —Ray Borane, Douglas native & former mayor, "Border Towns Spit Asunder"
• by the end of the 20th c. the area had become the nation's busiest point for illegal crossings • Douglas hosts the annual binational Concert Without Borders [photos]
----------
• 2-story plus basement, brick & wood Mission Revival style bldg. [vintage photos] • designed by Germany-born architect, Theodore C. Link (1850-1923), whose commissions included a number of railroad-related buildings such as Union Station in St. Louis, Link's home base • a 1-story gym extension, designed by Trost & Trost, El Paso, was added in 1918
• built as a YMCA recreational facility to serve employees of the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad & the town's general public, which also used it for social events • originally had tennis courts & baseball diamonds • membership during the early decades of the 20th c. averaged around 1,000 men & boys • operated by the Phelps Dodge copper mining company
• erected on what was then Railroad Avenue, across the street from the Douglas tenderloin, a seedy, crime-ridden district of saloons, dance halls, bordellos & gambling joints • the area was policed by the local constable, the Cochise County sheriff and the the 30-man Arizona Rangers unit based 27 mi. away in Bisbee • Douglas quickly became known as the "toughest town on the border"
"Since so many of her earlier workers were men unattached by family ties, Douglas felt the full impact of a western atmosphere that had all but died out in other sections of the state. For a half-decade, Douglas became one of the last gathering places for the West's diminishing lawless element."
"Saloon after saloon opened and in a year's time the town had at least 15 such establishments."—The History of Douglas, Arizona, Robert Stone Jeffrey, 1951
• Thomas Harbo Rynning (1866-1941), captain of the Arizona Rangers, was a Norwegian immigrant who had served with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War • because most of the crime & vice the Rangers were fighting was in Douglas, Captain Rynning decided to make it their home base, establishing headquarters in a long adobe room • stationed near the Douglas smelters & Bisbee mines, the Rangers remained available to break union strikes [photo] —AZ Ranger History
• Rynning described Douglas crime as the worst in the West:
"Cattle thieves, murderers, all the worst hombres of the United States and Mexico make their headquarters there. The dance-halls were the worst I've ever seen on any frontier. Most of them was run by men who'd plenty of notches on their guns, and their hangers-on we're all just plain poison.
'It wasn't nowadays safe even for an officer of the law to walk along Tenth St. or Sixth after dark. Robberies were going on everywhere. People were being killed even in the hotels. At least half the deputy sheriffs where blackleg gamblers and killers.
'It was up to us to bring law and order to that man's town, and I'll admit I was dubious about making a good job of it. But that's what we was there for and we had to tackle it. In the beginning I told my rangers to get their guns out of sight whenever they was in town. I wanted the decent people to have confidence in us.
'Whenever a train pulled into Douglas's those days, there will be a string of deputy sheriffs hanging round the depot with their six-shooters hung on their off hips like young cannons, Add a blind man could see they was mostly a dam' hard outfit. I wanted my boys to be different.'"
"'I've been in many a tough town in my day, but from Deadwood to Tombstone I have never met up with a harder formation than Douglas was when we made the Arizona Rangers' home corral there in 1902." —Thomas H. Rynning, Gun Notches: A Saga of Frontier Lawman, 1931
• the war on crime at Douglas was joined by the area's chief federal immigration officer, who announced that although any Mexican of sound body & deemed unlikely to become a govt. charge was free to enter & leave the U.S. at will, Agua Prieta women attempting to cross the border to work in the Douglas tenderloin red light district would now be turned back • red lights were required by law on all buildings housing prostitutes
• a year after the Rangers' arrival, a raging fire in the district threatened to immolate the entire town • ignited by a lighted lamp,
hurled at a guest by an inebriated "native" prostitute:
“A high wind was blowing, and the entire male population of the town was present and pressed into service to extinguish the flames… This prevented the spread of the blaze to the business portion of the town. The buildings destroyed were the Copper Belt theatre, Fashion saloon, Elite restaurant, Cowboy saloon and two long rooming houses of about twenty-five room (sic) each." —Albuquerque Citizen, 19 Feb 1903
• the old YMCA Building continued in use into the 1950's • National Register # 84000647, 1984

Cuenta la leyenda, que a principios del siglo IX en un bosque llamado Libredón, una estrella guió a un hombre llamado Paio hasta el lugar donde en el siglo I se habían enterrado los restos del Apóstol Santiago el Mayor, que habían sido trasladados desde Jerusalem tras su martirio en una barca de piedra. Poco tiempo después del descubrimiento de la Tumba, la sede episcopal asentada en Iria (Padrón) se trasladó a Compostela. El hallazgo del Sepulcro fue la base sobre la que se cimentó la ciudad.

IGLESIA
Los arquitectos que trabajaron en la iglesia fueron el portugués Mateo López, que se encargó de las primeras trazas; el granadino Bartolomé Fernández Lechuga, que construye la magnífica cúpula nervada y organiza el espacio interior consiguiendo una gran majestuosidad; el salmantino Peña y Toro, que se encarga de las obras de contención pues habían cedido los muros, y finalmente, fray Tomás Alonso y fray Gabriel Casas, con distintas aportaciones en la fachada del monasterio, claustros, campanario y dependencias monacales. Sobre la puerta se despliega una vistosa fachada plateresca. Presiden en la parte central, entre la puerta y el óculo, la Virgen, San Bieito y San Bernardo, mientras que en el frontón que corona la portada está San Martiño repartiendo su capa con un pobre. Las torres se levantan sólo hasta la altura de la fachada, debido a la oposición del cabildo catedralicio, temeroso de que la basílica perdiese visibilidad. Para vencer el desnivel del terreno, el benedictino Plácido Camiña construyó la hermosa escalera de acceso a la puerta, sin duda inspirada en la que da acceso a la Catedral desde la fachada del Obradoiro. El templo posee planta de cruz latina con tres naves en el brazo principal y una en el transversal, recorridas por una tribuna. Se emplea la bóveda de cañón en la que se enmascaran los nervios a modo de falsos casetones. Varias capillas comunicadas entre sí, se abren a cada lado del brazo longitudinal. En el interior llama poderosamente la atención el fastuoso retablo mayor de estilo barroco diseñado por F. de Casas y Novoa y ejecutado por Romay.

biblehub.com/titus/1-15.htm: To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
pictoumasons.org/library/Wilmshurst,%20Walter%20Leslie%20...
' The religions of the world, though all aiming at teaching truth, express that truth in different ways, and we are more prone to emphasize the differences than to look for the correspondences in what they teach.
[...]
Thus, then, was the origin and birth of Religion. And Religion is a word implying a "binding back" (re-ligare). As with the setting and bandaging a broken limb, so the collective soul of humanity, fractured and comminuted by its fall into countless individuations and their subsequent respective progenies, each separately damaged and imperfect, needed to be restored to the condition from which it had become dislocated and once more built up into a perfect harmonious whole.
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2778110/The-floating-mar...
To the spiritual guardians of primitive man, then, one must attribute the communication of that universal science of rebuilding the fallen temple of humanity, of which science we now surprisedly find traces in every race and religion of the world. To this source we must credit the distribution, in every land and among every people, of the same or equivalent symbols, practices and doctrines, modified only locally and in accordance with the intelligence of particular peoples, yet all manifesting a common root and purpose.
This was the one Holy Catholic (or universal) Religion "throughout all the world"; at once a theoretic doctrine and a practical science intended to reunite man to his Maker. That religion could only be one, as it could not be otherwise than catholic and for all men equally and alike; though, owing to the perverse distortive tendencies of humanity itself, it was susceptible of becoming (as has so happened) debased and sectarianized into as many forms as there are peoples. Moreover, its main principles could never be susceptible of alteration, though they might be (as they have been) exoterically understood by some and esoterically by others, and their full import would not all at once be apparent, but develop with increasing fidelity to and understanding of them. It provided the unalterable "landmarks" of knowledge concerning human nature, human potentialities and human destiny. It laid down the ancient and established "usages and customs" to be followed at all times by everyone content to accept its discipline and which none might deviate from or add innovations to, save at his own peril. It was the "Sacred Law" for the guidance of the fallen soul, a law valid from the dawn of time till its sunset, and of which it is written "As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end." It was the science of life – of temporal limited life lived with the intention of its conversion and sublimation into eternal universal life; and, therefore, it called for a scientific or philosophic method of living, every moment and action of which should be directed to that great goal; – a method very different from the modern method, which is entirely utilitarian in its outlook and totally unscientific in its conduct.
This Proto-Religion is related to have originated in the East, from which proverbially all light comes, and, as humanity itself became diffused and distributed over the globe, to have gradually spread towards the West, in a perpetual watchfulness of humanity's spiritual interests and an unfailing purpose to retrieve "that which was lost" – the fallen human soul.
We have already said that in early times the humanity then under its influence was far less materialized and far more spiritually sensitive and perceptive than it subsequently became or is now; and accordingly it follows that with the increasing age and density of the race the influence of the Proto-Religion itself became correspondingly diminished, though its principles remained as valid and effective as before; for the self-willed vagaries and speculative conceptions of man cannot alter the principles of static Truth and Wisdom.

The Mysteries came to an end as public institutions in the sixth century, when from political considerations they and the teaching of the secret doctrine and philosophy became prohibited by the Roman Government, under Justinian, who aimed at inaugurating an official uniform state-religion throughout its Empire. Subsequently, as the Roman Empire declined and broke up, the Roman Catholic Church emerged from it, which, as we know, has resolutely discountenanced any authority in religion and philosophy as a rival to her own and at the same time claimed supremacy and an over-riding jurisdiction in temporal matters also. For the Freemason the result of that Church's conduct is instructive. For when an authority upon matters wholly spiritual and belonging to a kingdom which is not of this world, lays claim to temporal power and secular possessions, as the Roman Church has done and still does, it at once vitiates and neutralizes its own spiritual qualifications. It becomes infected with the virus of "worldly possessions." It loads itself with the "money and metals" from which it is essential to keep divested. The result has been that what might have been, and was designed to be, the greatest spiritually educative force in the world's history, has become a materialized institution, exercising an intellectual tyranny which has estranged the minds of millions from religion altogether. As Lot's wife is metaphorically said to have crystallized into a pillar of salt through turning back in desire to what she ought to have renounced altogether, so in trying to serve Mammon and God at the same time the Roman Church has failed in both and, as the result of the false steps and abuses of centuries, the world is to-day a chaos of disunited sects and popular religious teaching is as materialistic as Masonry. It is a pity, for in its original design and practice Christianity was intended to serve as a system of initiation upon a catholic or universal scale, and to take over, supersede and amplify all that previously was taught, in a less efficacious way and to a more restricted public, in the Ancient Mysteries. It is not possible here to enter upon the extremely interesting questions involved in the transition from pre-Christian to Christian religion, or to explain why and how the Christian Mysteries are the efflorescence of the earlier ones and transcend them. In their central teachings, as in the philosophic method of life they demand, the two methods are identical. The differences between them are only such as are due to amplification and formal expression. Christianity came not to destroy, but to fulfil and expand. That fulfilment and expansion were consequent upon an event of cosmic importance which we speak of as The Incarnation. By that event something had happened affecting the very fabric of our planet and every item of the human family. What that something was and the nature of the change it wrought is too great and deep a theme to develop now, but, to illustrate it by Masonic symbolism, it was an event which is the equivalent of, and is represented by, the transference of the Sacred Symbol of the Grand Geometrician of the Universe from the ceiling of the Lodge, where it is located in the elementary grades of the Craft, to the floor, where it is found in the Royal Arch Degree surrounded with flaming lights and every circumstance of reverence and sanctity. How many Masons are there in the Order to-day who recognize that, in this piece of symbolism, Masonry is giving affirmation and ocular testimony to precisely the same fact as the churchman affirms when he recites in his Creed the words "He came down from heaven, and was incarnate and was made man?"
By a tacit and quite unwarranted convention the members of the Craft avoid mention in their Lodges of the Christian Master and confine their scriptural readings and references almost exclusively to the Old Testament, the motive being no doubt due to a desire to observe the injunction as to refraining from religious discussion and to prevent offence on the part of brethren who may not be of the Christian faith. The motive is an entirely misguided one and is negated by the fact that the "greater light" upon which every member is obligated, and to which his earnest attention is recommended from the moment of his admission to the Order, is not only the Old Testament, but the volume of the Sacred Law in its entirety. The New Testament is as essential to his instruction as the Old, not merely because of its moral teaching, but in virtue of its constituting the record of the Mysteries in their supreme form and historic culmination. The Gospels themselves, like the Masonic degrees, are a record of preparation and illumination, leading up to the ordeal of death, followed by a raising from the dead and the attainment of Mastership, and they exhibit the process of initiation carried to the highest conceivable degree of attainment. The New Testament is full of passages in Masonic terminology and there is not a little irony in the failure by modern Masons to recognize its supreme importance and relevancy to their Lodge proceedings and in the fact that in so doing they may be likening themselves to those builders of whom it is written that they rejected the chief Corner Stone. They would learn further that the Grand Master and Exemplar of Masonry, Hiram Abiff, is but a figure of the Great Master and Exemplar and Saviour of the world, the Divine Architect by whom all things were made, without whom is nothing that hath been made, and whose life is the light of men. If, in the words of the Masonic hymn:
"Hiram the architect
Did all the Craft direct
How they should build,"
it is equally true that the protagonist of the Christian Scriptures also taught universal humanity "how they should build" and reconstruct their own fallen nature, and that the method of such building is one which involves the cross as its working tool and one which culminates in a death and a raising from the dead. And, of those who attain their initiation and mastership by that method, is it not further written there that they become of the household of God and built into a spiritual temple not made with hands, but eternal and in the heavens and of which "Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone, in whom all the building, fitly framed together, groweth unto an holy temple builded for an habitation of God?"
Neither the Ancient Mysteries nor Modern Masonry, their descendant, therefore, can be rightly viewed without reference to their relation to the Christian evangel, into which the pre-Christian schools became assumed. The line of succession and evolution from the former to the latter is direct and organic. Allowing for differences of time, place and form of expression, both taught exactly the same truths and inculcated the necessity for regeneration. In such a matter there cannot be a diversity of doctrine. The truth concerning it must be static and uniform at all periods of the world's history.

When Christianity became a state-religion and the Church a world-power, the materialization of its doctrine proceeded apace and has only increased with the centuries. Instead of becoming the unifying force its leaders meant it to be, its association with "worldly possessions" has resulted in making it a disintegrative one. Abuses led to schisms and sectarianism, and whilst the parent-body, in the form of the Greek and Roman Churches, still possesses and jealously conserves all the original credentials, traditions and symbols in their superb liturgies and rites, more importance is attached to the outer husk of its heritage than to its kernel and spirit, whilst the Protestant communities and so-called "free" churches have unhappily become self-severed altogether from the original tradition and their imagined liberty and independence are in fact but a captivity to ideas of their own, having no relation to the primitive gnosis and no understanding of those Mysteries which must always lie deeper than the exoteric popular religion of a given period. Regeneration as a science has long been, and still is, entirely outside the purview of orthodox religion. The Christian Master's affirmation "Ye must be born again" is regarded as but a pious counsel towards an indefinite improvement of conduct and character, not as a reference to a drastic scientific revolution and reformation of the individual in the way contemplated by the rites of initiation prescribed in the Mysteries. Popular religion may indeed produce "good" men, as the world's standard of goodness goes. It does not and cannot produce divinized men endued with the qualities of Mastership, for it is ignorant of the traditional wisdom and methods by which that end is to be attained. '

The name was changed in 1925 to the Lucis Publishing Company. In Latin lucem ferre means "to bear light" and lucis means of light. The company has headquarters in New York City, London, and Geneva.
The Trust is established in Great Britain under the title "Lucis Trust Ltd.", in Switzerland as "Lucis Trust Association", and in the Netherlands as the "Lucis Trust Stichting."
In order to place a closer focus on the work of the UN, the Lucis Trust has set up a new blog, World Goodwill at the UN, which will focus on defining new Sustainable Development Goals for humanity after 2015 when the Millennium Development Goals expire.

Corpus Areopagiticum:
' However, does not a false harmony arise in this process? Have not we overlooked the existence of evil? Perhaps Dionysius has too brief an answer to this question. God cannot be the cause of evil. Good always begets good. Therefore, evil "is not any sort of objective reality." It has a completely deprivative significance. Evil exists not in and of itself, but in another; evil is something incidental for objective reality, something extra which does not enter into its essential definitions. Evil only destroys and therefore presupposes objective reality and good. Evil does not create anything and is not the authentic beginning of origins.
Therefore there can be no pure, unadulterated evil; there can be no "self-evil." Evil always presupposes good as its foundation and support. As creations of God, the demons themselves are not evil by nature; there is something positive in them — reality, movement, life. Evil cannot be an independent principle, for then it would have to be invariable. However, invariability and self-identity are properties only of good. Evil is a wasting disease and similar to darkening, but light always remains light and also shines in the dark without turning into darkness.
Nothing which exists is evil as such — neither is matter evil. Evil is disharmony, disorder, αταξια. But pure disharmony is impossible and a total absence of form and order is tantamount to non-existence. Matter is not total chaos — it is connected with order and forms. It has the power of birth and preservation. Not matter as such, but an attraction for what is lower, is the reason for evil in the soul. By itself, matter cannot hinder souls from striving for good. The beginning and end of evil things lies in good. In other words, evil does not so much exist as "be present"; it exists in and upon something else. Evil is parasitical; its cause is impotence — ασθένεια. In all evil deeds and phenomena we see primarily feebleness. Evil is a certain stepping out of the measures of nature and objective reality, a "defection from true goodness," an unjust and improper action, a certain "blending of the dissimilar." '

Why build an automotive museum? Because one way or another, our lives are touched by the automobile. We remember our parents’ cars, the ones we traveled in with family, the ones we borrowed for our first car date, the first ones we bought. The fast cars, the junkers, the modified ones and the ones we rebuilt—all of them are tied to us in memory. We even dream of cars.
William E. Backer, former owner of Backer Potato Chip Company in Fulton, Missouri, looked back in time and found that a vintage automobile was a thing of fascination. His memories were of old country roads and two lane highways. Bill Backer was an engineer and a builder who loved to tinker. Having built a successful potato chip company, he looked back at the cars that were part of his childhood. Shortly after, he owned a Canadian 1924 Dodge Touring. Dark blue with black fenders and a cloth top. Bill drove his family around the back country roads of Callaway County, Missouri and felt himself touching fading memories.
Not long after he collected the Dodge, Bill had a 1909 Ford Model T. Soon after that, a 1930 Model A. Then a 1929 Cord, a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom II, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, and so on. By the mid 1990’s, the number of classic autos in the collection neared 100. Bill found a home for many of his classic cars in an old retail building in Fulton. The Auto World Museum Foundation was formed and a classic car museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, in 2006, the automobile museum was moved to its current home at 200 Peacock Drive in Fulton. It is a building dedicated to the history of vintage and modern automobiles as well as the history of Callaway County and Fulton, Missouri.
After his passing in 2008, his daughter, Vicki McDaniel, assumed leadership of the museum and the collection of cars. Since then, the collection of vintage autos has changed a little. However, her primary passion is for the presentation of antique cars and modern ones in a place that everyone can visit.
The presentation of cars and staging of the museum is the vision of Tom K. Jones, Artistic Director of TKJ Designs in Fulton, Missouri. His concept for the museum was a movement through time and a portrayal of the history of Callaway County, Missouri. Auto World Museum is a stage—a movement through history. Its deep black curtains, scenes from back when, panels of advertising and memorabilia will take you through a history of motion in time. At first, you will visit a period not that long ago, although some say 100 years is a long time. As you move in a clockwise direction through the museum, you will find enticing displays. The simplicity of family drives in the convertible. The decadence of Hollywood and its fancy cars. The sights and sounds of the drive-in as you watched from the comfort of your Studebaker or Corvair. You will ponder when gas prices were really, really low. Finally, you will find yourself nearing the future, with displays of alternative fuel vehicles.
Auto World Museum will spark your curiosity. We hope that you will find that our collection of vintage and modern automobiles fascinates you the way that it did Bill Backer. We hope you will continue the journey with us as we add to the collection over time. We would like to thank William Harrison for his dedication to the research on the autos in the museum.
Beautiful Ewa again! :)
My parents have been out for a few days so home was only mine :)
Actually, I wasn't alone even for a moment - I have very absorbing friends.
We made a little photo session with Ewa - my best friend's girlfriend. We were taking photos, eating pizza, listening to music, the boys were disturbing us (I mean, me and Ewa) a lot and we had so much fun. No pressure. This kind of working with model doesn't make me stressed and I love this.
***
I have great time in my life right now. I'm growing up and I can feel it so clearly. I feel movement in me. I'm doing things I'd never done before, learning more about responsibility and self-reliance, feeling some things for the very first time and feeling them so deeply. And I know it could never happen this way without Him and my best friends. I'm so grateful.
Everything is different.
I'm not saying it is better. It's just different.
And you're stunning for me. You really are.

The Death of Canadian Journalism
By SEAN CONDON
In a crowded bar in downtown Vancouver, a group of reporters from the city’s main daily newspaper, The Vancouver Sun, gather after work to do what most people revel in after a long week at the office: bitch about the boss. While images of the Iraq War, Wal-Mart and Kid Rock quickly flash and disappear on the television screens above them, editors are mocked, columnists are ridiculed and the paper their bylines appear in is panned up and down.
There’s nothing too radical about most of their complaints – it’s not secret to anyone in the city that the Sun is a dull suburban paper pretending to be a respectable urban broadsheet. With few exceptions, there’s little investigative journalism left within its pages, and most of what gets printed is so tepid and banal that it’s almost entirely useless to read.
It’s when the reporters start talking about what’s happening inside the newsroom that they reveal a deeper and more disturbing problem with the flagship newspaper in Canada’s third largest city: one that explains everything that is wrong with the increasing consolidation of the media around the world.
Overly anxious that they’re not caught exposing the paper’s dirty secret, reporters at the Sun say that morale has hit rock bottom and an alarming atmosphere of fear and paranoia has infected the newsroom. With a tone of anger and resentment, reporters tell stories about vindictive editors who spend more time attacking them over personal and petty grievances than they do worrying about the deteriorating quality of the paper. Anyone that dares question the authority of Editor-in-Chief Patricia Graham is bullied, isolated and forced out of the paper.
Reporters say the story inside the Sun is that inexperienced editors rise through the ranks because they toe the company line or are personal friends with senior editors and not because they produce good journalism or defend the public trust. There newly empowered editors are known for not letting reporters pitch their own ideas and for pushing press releases onto veteran journalists who grudgingly grind out copy before deadline, caring very little about what they write. Reporters who challenge this system are moved out of their department, questioned about their stories and eventually given an ultimatum by the editors: quit or we’ll make your life hell.
“The culture at The Vancouver Sun is incredibly poisonous and it extends right through the newsroom,” confides Charles Campbell, a former editorial board member at the paper, who says he was surprised at how much disdain senior management had towards the paper’s star reporters. “There are very few [reporters] who are particularly happy or proud of The Vancouver Sun as a newspaper.”
While the Sun has a long history of acrimonious newsrooms and lengthy labor disputes, it was also once a respected paper that boasted some of the top journalists in the country and consistently broke stories that changed the political landscape of the city and province. When the paper was part of the Southam chain, the newsroom had a bigger budget and more independence – reports were even allowed to criticize the paper in print. But once CanWest Global Communications got its hands on the Sun in 2000, it slashed funding, silenced writers and allowed an inexperienced, and strangely insecure, management to take control. The paper has never been as irrelevant or dysfunctional as it is today.
CanWest has such a stranglehold on the city that any reporter caught speaking out against them would have trouble finding work in Vancouver again. This toxic environment has created such a chill amongst reporters that getting them to talk about the turmoil is extremely difficult. One news staffer that initially agreed to be quoted as an anonymous source later backed out for fear of repercussion. A former reporter was so worried by the ruthless reach of the editors that they would only talk off-the-record. Most wouldn’t even take that risk.
“If [the Editor-in-Chief] found out I talked, I’d be finished,” said one reporter when declining an interview. “If there was another game in town it’d be different, but there’s nothing else in this city. There’s nowhere to go.”
CanWest’s dominance over Vancouver is extraordinary even in an era of unprecedented global media consolidation and convergence.
Led by CEO Leonard Asper and the powerful Asper family, the Winnipeg-based corporation now owns both of Vancouver’s daily newspapers (the Sun and the tabloid Province), the city’s top-rated television station (GlobalTV), 12 community newspapers, eight analog and digital television stations, and one of two national papers. For good measure, it also owns the only daily in the nearby provincial capital, Victoria’s Times Colonist. A throwback to the classic Company Town, CanWest has turned Vancouver into the single-most media concentrated city in the western world.
Cities thrive in diverse media markets. In Montreal, four different companies own the city’s four major dailies, each presenting four unique perspectives on issues that concern its citizens. The same is true in cities from Toronto and New York to London and Paris. But as a small number of corporations swallow up more media outlets every year, the conflicts within the Sun are being duplicated across the country. With the largest private newspaper publisher in Canada, Black Press, recently taking ownership of Osprey, one of the most diverse, just four corporations now control 70 percent of the country’s newspaper circulation.
Cities stagnate in consolidated media markets. CanWest has a total of 13 daily newspapers in Canada, where its only competitors are often vapid tabloid or commuter dailies. On the East Coast, the Irving family owns every English-language newspaper in the province of New Brunswick and a series of dailies and weeklies throughout the Maritimes. Without any real competition, these newspapers can manipulate their content to push a single point of view. In Canada, this had led to a one-sided debate on the country’s role in Afghanistan, where editorials back the country’s military intervention and pay little attention to the mounting civilian causalities and ongoing human rights violations. But nowhere is the freedom of the press in as much danger as Vancouver, where the CanWest monopoly controls an astonishing 70 percent of the entire media market and is the only voice of record for the city.
“The story of the Sun should be presented as a cautionary tale [to the rest of the world],” says Marc Edge, a former Vancouver journalist and author of Pacific Press: The Unauthorized Story of Vancouver’s Newspaper Monopoly. “If you want to see the future of media, just look at Vancouver where you have the tightest control of media in the free world. If you allow cross-media ownership like the [Federal Communications Commission in the United States] has been considering, this is how it could end up.”
Editorial Eclipse
The internal turmoil of the Sun is a stark contrast to the colorless content on its pages. While almost all corporate newspapers have an obvious pro-business slant, the Sun leaves little doubt about where its bias lies. Corporate press releases are disguised as news stories, puff pieces on right-wing politicians pose as investigative journalism and hatchet jobs on activists purport to be fair and balanced reporting. In 2002, the Sun spent $3 million to run a series of advertorial stories praising the virtues of British Columbian businesses called ‘Believe BC.’ The stories weren’t marked as advertising features as they should have been, but were either listed as a ‘Special Feature’ or left completely unmarked.
The timing of the Believe BC series was especially insulting since it came right after the newly elected right-wing provincial government had slashed social services for the poor by $2 billion while cutting taxes for the rich by $2 billion. But there has been little coverage in the paper since then of how the cuts caused Vancouver’s homeless population to double in just three years. Although Sun reporters aren’t given direct orders to write glowing reports about the provincial government, they say they are discouraged from writing claims made by government critics. There has also been a conscious decision from the paper’s management to ignore government protesters, even when their actions are top stories for national news agencies. More often than not, the Sun is not the voice of the community, but a mouthpiece for the provincial government – over the years CanWest has donated thousands of dollars to the current provincial government and the Sun employs the premier’s brother as a columnist.
However, most troubling of all is that the Sun refuses to be held to account to the many criticisms lobbied at them by media analysts and their own current and former employees. A request for an interview with the paper’s Editor-in-Chief, Patricia Graham, was denied because Adbusters is protecting the identity of the Sun reporters who have spoken out.
“The Vancouver Sun has a policy of avoiding the use of unnamed sources,” wrote Graham in an email. “We consider it a violation of journalistic ethics to permit people to criticize others while remaining anonymous. I do not care to participate in interviews with publications whose ethical standards I do not share.”
Aside from the fact that any Sun reporter named would immediately be fired, Graham overlooks the fact that most media outlets allow anonymous sources if the importance of their information outweighs the potential for public skepticism. But Adbusters couldn’t even get a copy of the Sun’s code of ethics to verify what the paper’s policy on using anonymous sources actually is. While other news agencies post their code of ethics online, a request to the Sun was denied on the grounds that it’s not available to the public. Like much of what is happening in the Sun, the paper seems to prefer keeping the public in the dark.
Black Hole
The Aspers bought the Sun and over 130 newspapers across the country from Conrad Black’s Hollinger Inc. at a time when major media corporations around the world were clamoring for convergence. But while CanWest had one of the largest television networks in the country, it had zero experience in newspapers. Like many newly formed media conglomerates at the time, it quickly lost millions of dollars trying to make its different media outlets work together. Just as newspaper circulation was plummeting across North America, the Aspers paid Black an inflated $3.5 billion for a product in an ailing industry that they had no idea how to run.
With their fledgling newspaper empire quickly crumbling and its newly adopted national daily The National Post hemorrhaging profits from the other dailies, the Aspers tried to stop the hemorrhaging with massive layoffs – leaving already thin newsrooms stretched beyond repair. Today, reports at CanWest papers have to write more stories in less time, which adds another level of pressure in already tense environments. Instead of investigative journalism, there has been an increase in one-source stories. Many reporters have been moved off of beats and turned into general assignment reporters, giving them less knowledge on the issues they cover and less access to sources that help them cultivate and uncover breaking news.
CanWest further exasperated the problem by carelessly spending $5 million launching its now-defunct, youth-oriented commuter daily, Dose, while saving $4.6 million this past June by abandoning its partnership with the national newswire, Canadian Press (CP). Reporters across the chain have been extremely distressed by this latest move, saying it will force shorthanded newsrooms to produce extra copy for which the CP co-operative could once be relied upon. Since newspapers are still the best, and often the only, mechanism that gives the public in-depth analysis on issues, all of these cuts have damaged the public’s ability to have the kind of qualified and informed debate required in a democracy.
“This whole corporatization of journalism is not healthy,” says Mike Gasher, director of journalism at Concordia University and a former Vancouver Province reporter. “I know journalism is a business, but I think it’s just a question of how you strike the balance between the quality of the product and the bottom line. My concern is that when you have these conglomerate ownerships, that not only own several newspapers, but radio, television, internet, then I think by definition the commitment to any one of those properties is decreased.”
CanWest did not return multiple requests for an interview. Adbusters Media Foundation is currently suing CanWest along with another national broadcaster for refusing to air its public awareness campaigns about mass consumerism on their stations, which was also one of the reasons that Graham gave for turning down an interview.
Burnout
The acrimony inside the Sun is excessive when compared to other newspapers, but there are high levels of dissatisfaction and depression in all of CanWest‘s dailies. Not long after CanWest bought Black’s chain, it sparked international uproar when it broke the journalistic autonomy and implemented a national editorial policy. In 2001, the Aspers dictated a series of editorials from Winnipeg and demanded its papers not run any editorial that held views opposed their “core positions” – which primarily focused on lowering taxes and supporting Israel in the Middle East. After journalists at Montreal’s The Gazette angrily withheld their bylines, the controversy forced CanWest to drop the policy. However, it sent an early message to its newsrooms that their independence had vanished.
“I can say to our critics and to the bleeding hearts of the journalist community that it’s the end of the world as they know it, and I feel fine,” callously said David Asper, the family’s publication chairman, about the Gazette’s protest.
But the national editorial policy was almost benign compared to the firing of Ottawa Citizen publisher Russell Mills for running a feature about then Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s suspicious financial dealings and an editorial calling for his resignation. Asper patriarch Izzy Asper (now deceased) had close ties to Chretien and the country’s ruling Liberal party, and the firing sent a chill throughout the entire CanWest chain that still exists today. Although CanWest has since toned down its editorial interference (its most recent act was to replace all mention of Palestinian “militants” with “terrorists” in newswire copy), reporters at its papers say the damage has already been done.
“People do their jobs, they roll their eyeballs, and a lot of them at quitting time stop thinking about it,” says one staffer at The Gazette.
The primary complaint heard from CanWest reporters today is that the corporation’s drastic financial cuts have done the most to sink morale. In almost revolutionary development, editors and publishers at CanWest papers have also begun to openly criticize the Aspers to their reporters because of the budget cuts. The Aspers make a sharp contrast to the CanWest papers’ original owners, the Southam family, which turned its newspapers into some of the most competitive and respected in North America. Ironically, CanWest reporters even refer to the Conrad Black era as the “golden age.” Although Black cut back on reporters and was reviled as a tyrant with an overt political agenda, he also invested more in his newsrooms. Today, the computers in the Edmonton Journal newsroom are so old that staff can’t even access their own paper’s website.
“It’s depressing,” says Journal reporter, “and it makes you wonder about the future. There are all sorts of new pressures going on in today’s media, and most of us don’t have confidence that the Aspers have the business acumen to deal with these pressures in an effective way.”
Shine A Light
While CanWest’s control over Canada’s media sheds a disturbing light on the future of media consolidation, the concentration of ownership has in actuality been a major problem brewing in Canada for the past half-century. When The Vancouver Sun and The Province first merged their competing newspapers under a single management company called Pacific Press in 1957 because of economic problems, the federal government investigated the deal and found it would likely be “to the detriment of the public.” However, it backed away from taking any action.
When corporate chains came to control an alarming 77 percent of the country’s circulation, the 1970 Davey Committee stated that “all transactions that increase concentration of ownership in the mass media are undesirable and contrary to the public interest – unless otherwise shown,” and recommended the country form a press review board to rule on mergers. However, none of its recommendations were implemented.
When two major newspaper chains, Southam and Thompson, colluded to each shut down a competing newspaper in Ottawa and Winnipeg in 1980 and both of Vancouver’s daily newspapers were officially handed over to the Southams, the Royal Commission on Newspapers stated that “freedom of the press is not a property right of owners,” and recommended strict ownership limits. Again, no action was taken.
And when a Senate committee on media concentration released a report in 2006 stating, “the concentration of ownership has reached levels that few other countries would consider acceptable” and recommended that large mergers be publicly reviewed, it was outright dismissed by Heritage Minister Bev Oda who argued that “convergence has become an essential business strategy in order to stay competitive.”
Despite an endless amount of evidence provided by federal commissions and investigations showing how dangerous it is to a democracy when fewer companies control the media market – foreign bureaus are reduced, staff is cut back and quality diminished – no Canadian government has ever tried to put the brakes on consolidation. By ignoring the problem for the past 50 years, it has been allowed to grow into a full-blown crisis.
Today, reporters at CanWest simply go through the motions and many veteran journalists say their main goal is to try and get an early buyout from the corporation. Others say they personally tell journalism students to stay out of the business. Seeing the writing on the wall, many journalism students at colleges and universities from Vancouver to Ottawa say they have little interest entering an industry that they had such high hopes for only a few years earlier. Once considered a respected and noble profession that challenged authority and represented its community, CanWest’s consolidation has killed any sense of pride Canadian journalist once had in their job.
The most obvious example of consolidation run amok is Vancouver, where one corporation has such a tight control over the city that it gets away with bullying its reporters and slanting its news coverage without ever being challenged. The problems inside the Sun and CanWest papers will be repeated across the country if consolidation is allowed to continue unabated.
Because the priority of the paper’s corporate controller is on the bottom line instead of the public trust, a once-proud newspaper chain has turned into a skeleton of its former self. Reporters at CanWest papers who don’t conform the corporate perspective have few options or alternatives since CanWest owns the majority of media in most of their cities. Despite the restrictions, some reporters have managed to produce good journalism, but those that try to speak out have been harassed, silenced and sent packing. When journalists are denied resources and can’t truthfully disseminate information, the entire public is held hostage. It’s time to set them free.

Κυριαρχία του Θεού
Ο Θεός λέει: «Αυτές οι μεταβάσεις από την άνοιξη στο καλοκαίρι, στο φθινόπωρο και στον χειμώνα – αυτές οι αλλαγές συμβαίνουν όλες σύμφωνα με τους νόμους που θέσπισε ο Θεός. Καθοδηγεί όλα τα πλάσματα και τους ανθρώπους χρησιμοποιώντας αυτούς τους νόμους και έχει θεσπίσει έναν πλούσιο και πολύχρωμο τρόπο ζωής για το ανθρώπινο γένος, προετοιμάζοντας ένα περιβάλλον για επιβίωση που έχει διαφορετικές θερμοκρασίες και διαφορετικές εποχές. Υπό αυτά τα μεθοδικά περιβάλλοντα επιβίωσης, οι άνθρωποι μπορούν επίσης να επιβιώσουν και να πολλαπλασιαστούν με οργανωμένο τρόπο. Οι άνθρωποι δεν μπορούν να αλλάξουν αυτούς τους νόμους και ούτε ένα άτομο ή πλάσμα δεν μπορεί να τους παραβεί. Δεν έχει σημασία τι ριζοσπαστικές αλλαγές συμβαίνουν στον κόσμο, αυτοί οι νόμοι συνεχίζουν να υπάρχουν και υπάρχουν επειδή υπάρχει ο Θεός. Αυτό συμβαίνει χάρη στη διακυβέρνηση και τη διαχείριση του Θεού. Με αυτού του είδους το οργανωμένο, ευρύτερο περιβάλλον, η ζωή των ανθρώπων προχωρά μέσα στα πλαίσια αυτών των νόμων και κανονισμών. Αυτοί οι νόμοι καλλιέργησαν τη μια ανθρώπινη γενιά μετά την άλλη και ολόκληρες γενιές ανθρώπων έχουν επιβιώσει μέσα στα πλαίσια αυτών των νόμων. Οι άνθρωποι απολαμβάνουν τα όντα και αυτό το τακτικό περιβάλλον για επιβίωση που δημιούργησε ο Θεός για ολόκληρες γενιές ανθρώπων. Παρόλο που οι άνθρωποι αισθάνονται ότι αυτοί οι τύποι νόμων είναι έμφυτοι, παρόλο που τους απορρίπτουν πλήρως και παρόλο που δεν μπορούν να νιώσουν ότι ο Θεός ενορχηστρώνει αυτούς τους νόμους, ότι ο Θεός κυβερνά πάνω από αυτούς τους νόμους, ό,τι και να γίνει, ο Θεός είναι πάντα απασχολημένος με αυτό το αμετάβλητο έργο. Ο σκοπός Του σε αυτό το αμετάβλητο έργο είναι η επιβίωση του ανθρώπινου γένους, έτσι ώστε να συνεχίσουν να ζουν οι άνθρωποι. ...»

The Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. This bird has a circumpolar distribution, its four subspecies breeding in temperate and subarctic regions of Europe, Asia and North America. It is strongly migratory, wintering in coastal tropical and subtropical regions. Breeding adults have light grey upperparts, white to very light grey underparts, a black cap, orange-red legs, and a narrow pointed bill. Depending on the subspecies, the bill may be mostly red with a black tip or all black. There are a number of similar species, including the partly sympatric Arctic Tern, which can be separated on plumage details, leg and bill colour, or vocalisations. Breeding in a wider range of habitats than any of its relatives, the Common Tern nests on any flat, poorly vegetated surface close to water, including beaches and islands, and it readily adapts to artificial substrates such as floating rafts. The nest may be a bare scrape in sand or gravel, but it is often lined or edged with whatever debris is available.
The terns, family Sternidae, are small to medium-sized seabirds closely related to the gulls, skimmers and skuas. They are gull-like in appearance, but typically have a lighter build, long pointed wings (which give them a fast, buoyant flight), a deeply forked tail, slender legs, and webbed feet. Breeding adult Common Terns have pale grey upperparts, very pale grey underparts, a black cap, orange-red legs, and a narrow pointed bill that can be mostly red with a black tip,
The Common Tern was first described by Linnaeus in his Systema Naturae in 1758 under its current scientific name, Sterna hirundo. (wikipedia)

All Saints Cemetery
This Cemetery stands on Jesmond Road, opposite Jesmond Old Cemetery and was the first cemetery in Newcastle to be instigated by the Burial Board. Consecrated in 1855 and opened in 1856 this was very much a rural part of Newcastle. The residential housing surrounding the cemetery on 3 sides were built later.
Noted Newcastle architect Benjamin Green designed the cemetery, its buildings and the fine Gothic archway over the entrance from Jesmond Road. The cemetery is surrounded by cast iron railings with fleur-de-lys heads.
The cemetery was extended to Osborne Avenue, from just under 10 acres by another 1.3 hectares in 1881.
In 1924 Carliol Square Gaol was demolished and the bodies of its executed criminals were transferred into unmarked graves in the cemetery.
In total around 90,000 burials have taken place here.
Thomas Harrison Hair (1810-1875) the artist best known for his Views of the Collieries of Northumberland and Durham, is buried here in an unmarked grave.

Burials:
Samuel Smith.
Celtic Cross monument. Samuel Smith OBE JP (1872-1949) was the founder of Rington's Tea. He was born in Leeds and became an errand boy for a tea merchants on leaving school at 11. In 1908 he moved to Newcastle and set up a small shop in Heaton with William Titterington. They called the company Ringtons. The tea was imported from India and Sri Lanka then tasted, blended and packaged. It was delivered by the company's black, gold and green horse-drawn coaches. In 1926 the business moved to purpose-built premises in Algernon Road. Eventually there were 26 branches of Ringtons in the North. The firm moved into coachbuilding during the World Wars, which led to the creation of Smith's Electric Vehicles at Team Valley Trading Estate.
Alexander Gardner.
Cross monument. Alexander Gardner (1877-1921) was a footballer for Newcastle United. Before the First World War, Newcastle United were in the First Division, won three league titles and won one FA Cup final of three. Alexander was the captain and played at right half (midfielder). He made 268 appearances and scored 20 goals. He was born in Leith in 1899. The 1904/5 team won 23 out of 34 league games. In 1909 Alexander broke his leg, which ended his football career. He became landlord of the Dun Cow Inn in Claremont Road.
Michael Joseph Quigley.
Gravestone of Michael Joseph Quigley (1837-1924), American Civil War veteran. Michael was born in Bradford and emigrated to America with his wife shortly before the outbreak of civil war. He served under General Robert E. Lee in Virginia but was wounded in his left arm. He was later employed in Government Service. He returned to Britain in 1876. He lived in St. Lawrence Square off Walker Road. His income was subsidised by a pension from the American Government.
James Skinner.
Obelisk monument to James Skinner (1836-1920), shipbuilder. James was born in London. He moved to Newcastle aged 14 to begin an apprenticeship at Coutts shipyard at Low Walker. He went on to manage Andrew Leslie's shipyard at Hebburn then opened a yard at Bill Quay with William Wood, shipyard cashier. The firm Wood Skinner & Co. built 330 vessels over 42 years up to 1925. They also built the 30-bed Tyne Floating Hospital for Infectious Diseases at Jarrow Slake, designed by Newcastle Civil Engineer, George Laws. The hospital ship was launched on 2 August 1885. It sank in 1888. She was refloated and remained moored there for over 40 years.
Francis Batey.
Urn monument to Francis Batey (1841-1915), steam tug boat owner. Francis joined his father's tug boat business at the age of 11 and eventually gained his master's certificate. When the Albert Edward Dock opened in 1884, he was assistant pilot on the Rio Amazonas, the first ship to enter the dock. He went on to be chairman of several tug related companies on the River Tyne. One of his sons, John Thomas Batey, became Managing Director of Hawthorn Leslie's Hebburn shipyard.
Antonio Marcantonio.
Impressive monument of a statue of a monk or friar holding an infant. Antonio Marcantonio (1886-1960), ice cream manufacturer, arrived in Newcastle in 1895 to join a small colony of Italians living in Byker. In the early 1900s he returned to Italy to marry Angela. He returned to Newcastle and began making ice cream in a room in his house using small pans of salt and ice to freeze it. Eventually he took over a small factory on Stepney Bank. 500 gallons of ice cream were made daily. He also owned five ice cream parlours, the first one was in the Grainger Arcade. The Mark Toney business still flourishes (factory at Benton Square).
George Henry Carr.
A 13 feet high monument to George Henry Carr (1867-1889), racing cyclist. There is a shield on each side depicting a bicycle, flowers, the badge of the Jubilee Rovers Bicycle Club and the badge of Clarence Bicycle Club. Carr was a prominent figure on the racing circuit. He died aged 22 of inflammation of the brain.
John James Lightfoot,
Monument of an angel to John James Lightfoot (1877-1897), apprentice joiner. John James was crushed to death aged 19 during restoration of the 200 year old Green Tree beerhouse in Robson's Entry, Sandgate.The building collapsed killing 4 people and injuring 12. The disaster was sketched by the Chronicle's artist and published on 6 March 1897 the day after the accident. The article describes the scene - 'in the house to the east there was a yawning space where the wall had tumbled in; behind the hole a staircase stood, but seemed, like the sword of Damocles, to have no more than a hair-strength to support it'.
Josephine Esther Salisse.
Family vault of M. and H.M. Salisse. A stone sarcophagus with a bronze female figure mourning over it. Josephine Esther Salisse (1905-1924) was from Thornton Heath in Surrey. She died suddenly at her aunt's home in Stratford Road, Heaton, aged 19.
John and Benjamin Green were a father and son who worked in partnership as architects in North East England during the early nineteenth century. John, the father was a civil engineer as well as an architect. Although they did carry out some commissions separately, they were given joint credit for many of their projects, and it is difficult to attribute much of their work to a single individual. In general, John Green worked on civil engineering projects, such as road and rail bridges, whereas Benjamin worked on projects that were more purely architectural. Their work was predominantly church and railway architecture, with a sprinkling of public buildings that includes their masterpiece, Newcastle's Theatre Royal.
Drawings by John and Benjamin Green are held by the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Biographies
John Green was born on 29 June 1787 at Newton Fell House, Nafferton, two miles north of Ovington, Northumberland. He was the son of Benjamin Green, a carpenter and maker of agricultural implements. After finishing school, he worked in his father's business. The firm moved to the market town of Corbridge and began general building work with young John concentrating on architectural work. About 1820, John set up business as an architect and civil engineer in nearby Newcastle upon Tyne.
John Green married Jane Stobart in 1805, and they had two sons, John (c.1807–68) and Benjamin (c1811-58), both of whom became architects. Little is known about the career of John, but Benjamin worked in partnership with his father on many projects.
In 1822 John Green designed a new building for the Newcastle Literary and Philosophical Society. The building, which houses the society's substantial library, is still in use today. He also designed a number of farmhouses, being employed on the Beaufront estate near Hexham and also on the Duke of Northumberland’s estates.
John Green was principally a civil engineer, and built several road and rail bridges. In 1829–31 he built two wrought-iron suspension bridges crossing the Tyne (at Scotswood) and the Tees (at Whorlton). The bridge at Scotswood was demolished in 1967 but the one at Whorlton still survives. When the High Level Bridge at Newcastle was proposed ten years later, John Green submitted plans, but those of Robert Stephenson were accepted by the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway. Green also built a number of bridges using an innovative system of laminated timber arches on masonry piers, the Weibeking system, based on the work of Bavarian engineer C.F. Weibeking. The two he built for the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, at the Ouseburn and at Willington Quay remain in use, though the timbers were replaced with wrought iron in a similar lattice pattern in 1869. In 1840 he was elected to the Institution of Civil Engineers, and in 1841 he was awarded the institution's Telford Medal for his work on laminated arch design.
John Green died in Newcastle on 30 September 1852.
Benjamin Green
Benjamin Green was a pupil of Augustus Charles Pugin, father of the more famous Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin. In the mid-1830s he became a partner of his father and remained so until the latter's death in 1852. The two partners differed somewhat. John has been described as a 'plain, practical, shrewd man of business' with a 'plain, severe and economical' style, whereas Benjamin was 'an artistic, dashing sort of fellow', with a style that was 'ornamental, florid and costly'.
The Greens worked as railway architects and it is believed that all the main line stations between Newcastle and Berwick upon Tweed were designed by Benjamin. In 2020 Morpeth Station was restored to Green's original designs following a £2.3M investment. They also designed a number of Northumbrian churches, the best examples being at Earsdon and Cambo.
The Green's most important commissions in Newcastle were the Theatre Royal (1836–37) and the column for Grey's Monument (1837–38). Both of these structures were part of the re-development of Newcastle city centre in neo-classical style by Richard Grainger, and both exist today. Although both of the partners were credited with their design, it is believed that Benjamin was the person responsible.
Another well-known structure designed by the Greens is Penshaw Monument (1844). This is a folly standing on Penshaw Hill in County Durham. It was built as a half-sized replica of the renowned Temple of Hephaestus in Athens, and was dedicated to John George Lambton, first Earl of Durham and the first Governor of the Province of Canada. The monument, being built on a hill is visible for miles around and is a famous local landmark. It is now owned by the National Trust.
Benjamin Green survived his father by only six years, and died in a mental home at Dinsdale Park, County Durham on 14 November 1858.

Newcastle upon Tyne, or simply Newcastle is a cathedral city and metropolitan borough in Tyne and Wear, England. It is located on the River Tyne's northern bank, opposite Gateshead to the south. It is the most populous settlement in the Tyneside conurbation and North East England.
Newcastle developed around a Roman settlement called Pons Aelius, the settlement became known as Monkchester before taking on the name of a castle built in 1080 by William the Conqueror's eldest son, Robert Curthose. It was one of the world's largest ship building and repair centres during the industrial revolution. Newcastle was part of the county of Northumberland until 1400, when it separated and formed a county of itself. In 1974, Newcastle became part of Tyne and Wear. Since 2018, the city council has been part of the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
The history of Newcastle upon Tyne dates back almost 2,000 years, during which it has been controlled by the Romans, the Angles and the Norsemen amongst others. Newcastle upon Tyne was originally known by its Roman name Pons Aelius. The name "Newcastle" has been used since the Norman conquest of England. Due to its prime location on the River Tyne, the town developed greatly during the Middle Ages and it was to play a major role in the Industrial Revolution, being granted city status in 1882. Today, the city is a major retail, commercial and cultural centre.
Roman settlement
The history of Newcastle dates from AD 122, when the Romans built the first bridge to cross the River Tyne at that point. The bridge was called Pons Aelius or 'Bridge of Aelius', Aelius being the family name of Roman Emperor Hadrian, who was responsible for the Roman wall built across northern England along the Tyne–Solway gap. Hadrian's Wall ran through present-day Newcastle, with stretches of wall and turrets visible along the West Road, and at a temple in Benwell. Traces of a milecastle were found on Westgate Road, midway between Clayton Street and Grainger Street, and it is likely that the course of the wall corresponded to present-day Westgate Road. The course of the wall can be traced eastwards to the Segedunum Roman fort at Wallsend, with the fort of Arbeia down-river at the mouth of the Tyne, on the south bank in what is now South Shields. The Tyne was then a wider, shallower river at this point and it is thought that the bridge was probably about 700 feet (210 m) long, made of wood and supported on stone piers. It is probable that it was sited near the current Swing Bridge, due to the fact that Roman artefacts were found there during the building of the latter bridge. Hadrian himself probably visited the site in 122. A shrine was set up on the completed bridge in 123 by the 6th Legion, with two altars to Neptune and Oceanus respectively. The two altars were subsequently found in the river and are on display in the Great North Museum in Newcastle.
The Romans built a stone-walled fort in 150 to protect the river crossing which was at the foot of the Tyne Gorge, and this took the name of the bridge so that the whole settlement was known as Pons Aelius. The fort was situated on a rocky outcrop overlooking the new bridge, on the site of the present Castle Keep. Pons Aelius is last mentioned in 400, in a Roman document listing all of the Roman military outposts. It is likely that nestling in the shadow of the fort would have been a small vicus, or village. Unfortunately, no buildings have been detected; only a few pieces of flagging. It is clear that there was a Roman cemetery near Clavering Place, behind the Central station, as a number of Roman coffins and sarcophagi have been unearthed there.
Despite the presence of the bridge, the settlement of Pons Aelius was not particularly important among the northern Roman settlements. The most important stations were those on the highway of Dere Street running from Eboracum (York) through Corstopitum (Corbridge) and to the lands north of the Wall. Corstopitum, being a major arsenal and supply centre, was much larger and more populous than Pons Aelius.
Anglo-Saxon development
The Angles arrived in the North-East of England in about 500 and may have landed on the Tyne. There is no evidence of an Anglo-Saxon settlement on or near the site of Pons Aelius during the Anglo-Saxon age. The bridge probably survived and there may well have been a small village at the northern end, but no evidence survives. At that time the region was dominated by two kingdoms, Bernicia, north of the Tees and ruled from Bamburgh, and Deira, south of the Tees and ruled from York. Bernicia and Deira combined to form the kingdom of Northanhymbra (Northumbria) early in the 7th century. There were three local kings who held the title of Bretwalda – 'Lord of Britain', Edwin of Deira (627–632), Oswald of Bernicia (633–641) and Oswy of Northumbria (641–658). The 7th century became known as the 'Golden Age of Northumbria', when the area was a beacon of culture and learning in Europe. The greatness of this period was based on its generally Christian culture and resulted in the Lindisfarne Gospels amongst other treasures. The Tyne valley was dotted with monasteries, with those at Monkwearmouth, Hexham and Jarrow being the most famous. Bede, who was based at Jarrow, wrote of a royal estate, known as Ad Murum, 'at the Wall', 12 miles (19 km) from the sea. It is thought that this estate may have been in what is now Newcastle. At some unknown time, the site of Newcastle came to be known as Monkchester. The reason for this title is unknown, as we are unaware of any specific monasteries at the site, and Bede made no reference to it. In 875 Halfdan Ragnarsson, the Danish Viking conqueror of York, led an army that attacked and pillaged various monasteries in the area, and it is thought that Monkchester was also pillaged at this time. Little more was heard of it until the coming of the Normans.
Norman period
After the arrival of William the Conqueror in England in 1066, the whole of England was quickly subjected to Norman rule. However, in Northumbria there was great resistance to the Normans, and in 1069 the newly appointed Norman Earl of Northumbria, Robert de Comines and 700 of his men were killed by the local population at Durham. The Northumbrians then marched on York, but William was able to suppress the uprising. That same year, a second uprising occurred when a Danish fleet landed in the Humber. The Northumbrians again attacked York and destroyed the garrison there. William was again able to suppress the uprising, but this time he took revenge. He laid waste to the whole of the Midlands and the land from York to the Tees. In 1080, William Walcher, the Norman bishop of Durham and his followers were brutally murdered at Gateshead. This time Odo, bishop of Bayeux, William's half brother, devastated the land between the Tees and the Tweed. This was known as the 'Harrying of the North'. This devastation is reflected in the Domesday Book. The destruction had such an effect that the North remained poor and backward at least until Tudor times and perhaps until the Industrial Revolution. Newcastle suffered in this respect with the rest of the North.
In 1080 William sent his eldest son, Robert Curthose, north to defend the kingdom against the Scots. After his campaign, he moved to Monkchester and began the building of a 'New Castle'. This was of the "motte-and-bailey" type of construction, a wooden tower on top of an earthen mound (motte), surrounded by a moat and wooden stockade (bailey). It was this castle that gave Newcastle its name. In 1095 the Earl of Northumbria, Robert de Mowbray, rose up against the king, William Rufus, and Rufus sent an army north to recapture the castle. From then on the castle became crown property and was an important base from which the king could control the northern barons. The Northumbrian earldom was abolished and a Sheriff of Northumberland was appointed to administer the region. In 1091 the parish church of St Nicholas was consecrated on the site of the present Anglican cathedral, close by the bailey of the new castle. The church is believed to have been a wooden building on stone footings.
Not a trace of the tower or mound of the motte and bailey castle remains now. Henry II replaced it with a rectangular stone keep, which was built between 1172 and 1177 at a cost of £1,444. A stone bailey, in the form of a triangle, replaced the previous wooden one. The great outer gateway to the castle, called 'the Black Gate', was built later, between 1247 and 1250, in the reign of Henry III. There were at that time no town walls and when attacked by the Scots, the townspeople had to crowd into the bailey for safety. It is probable that the new castle acted as a magnet for local merchants because of the safety it provided. This in turn would help to expand trade in the town. At this time wool, skins and lead were being exported, whilst alum, pepper and ginger were being imported from France and Flanders.
Middle Ages
Throughout the Middle Ages, Newcastle was England's northern fortress, the centre for assembled armies. The Border war against Scotland lasted intermittently for several centuries – possibly the longest border war ever waged. During the civil war between Stephen and Matilda, David 1st of Scotland and his son were granted Cumbria and Northumberland respectively, so that for a period from 1139 to 1157, Newcastle was effectively in Scottish hands. It is believed that during this period, King David may have built the church of St Andrew and the Benedictine nunnery in Newcastle. However, King Stephen's successor, Henry II was strong enough to take back the Earldom of Northumbria from Malcolm IV.
The Scots king William the Lion was imprisoned in Newcastle, in 1174, after being captured at the Battle of Alnwick. Edward I brought the Stone of Scone and William Wallace south through the town and Newcastle was successfully defended against the Scots three times during the 14th century.
Around 1200, stone-faced, clay-filled jetties were starting to project into the river, an indication that trade was increasing in Newcastle. As the Roman roads continued to deteriorate, sea travel was gaining in importance. By 1275 Newcastle was the sixth largest wool exporting port in England. The principal exports at this time were wool, timber, coal, millstones, dairy produce, fish, salt and hides. Much of the developing trade was with the Baltic countries and Germany. Most of the Newcastle merchants were situated near the river, below the Castle. The earliest known charter was dated 1175 in the reign of Henry II, giving the townspeople some control over their town. In 1216 King John granted Newcastle a mayor[8] and also allowed the formation of guilds (known as Mysteries). These were cartels formed within different trades, which restricted trade to guild members. There were initially twelve guilds. Coal was being exported from Newcastle by 1250, and by 1350 the burgesses received a royal licence to export coal. This licence to export coal was jealously guarded by the Newcastle burgesses, and they tried to prevent any one else on the Tyne from exporting coal except through Newcastle. The burgesses similarly tried to prevent fish from being sold anywhere else on the Tyne except Newcastle. This led to conflicts with Gateshead and South Shields.
In 1265, the town was granted permission to impose a 'Wall Tax' or Murage, to pay for the construction of a fortified wall to enclose the town and protect it from Scottish invaders. The town walls were not completed until early in the 14th century. They were two miles (3 km) long, 9 feet (2.7 m) thick and 25 feet (7.6 m) high. They had six main gates, as well as some smaller gates, and had 17 towers. The land within the walls was divided almost equally by the Lort Burn, which flowed southwards and joined the Tyne to the east of the Castle. The town began to expand north of the Castle and west of the Lort Burn with various markets being set up within the walls.
In 1400 Henry IV granted a new charter, creating a County corporate which separated the town, but not the Castle, from the county of Northumberland and recognised it as a "county of itself" with a right to have a sheriff of its own. The burgesses were now allowed to choose six aldermen who, with the mayor would be justices of the peace. The mayor and sheriff were allowed to hold borough courts in the Guildhall.
Religious houses
During the Middle Ages a number of religious houses were established within the walls: the first of these was the Benedictine nunnery of St Bartholomew founded in 1086 near the present-day Nun Street. Both David I of Scotland and Henry I of England were benefactors of the religious house. Nothing of the nunnery remains now.
The friary of Blackfriars, Newcastle (Dominican) was established in 1239. These were also known as the Preaching Friars or Shod Friars, because they wore sandals, as opposed to other orders. The friary was situated in the present-day Friars Street. In 1280 the order was granted royal permission to make a postern in the town walls to communicate with their gardens outside the walls. On 19 June 1334, Edward Balliol, claimant to be King of Scotland, did homage to King Edward III, on behalf of the kingdom of Scotland, in the church of the friary. Much of the original buildings of the friary still exist, mainly because, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries the friary of Blackfriars was rented out by the corporation to nine of the local trade guilds.
The friary of Whitefriars (Carmelite) was established in 1262. The order was originally housed on the Wall Knoll in Pandon, but in 1307 it took over the buildings of another order, which went out of existence, the Friars of the Sac. The land, which had originally been given by Robert the Bruce, was situated in the present-day Hanover Square, behind the Central station. Nothing of the friary remains now.
The friary of Austinfriars (Augustinian) was established in 1290. The friary was on the site where the Holy Jesus Hospital was built in 1682. The friary was traditionally the lodging place of English kings whenever they visited or passed through Newcastle. In 1503 Princess Margaret, eldest daughter of Henry VII of England, stayed two days at the friary on her way to join her new husband James IV of Scotland.
The friary of Greyfriars (Franciscans) was established in 1274. The friary was in the present-day area between Pilgrim Street, Grey Street, Market Street and High Chare. Nothing of the original buildings remains.
The friary of the Order of the Holy Trinity, also known as the Trinitarians, was established in 1360. The order devoted a third of its income to buying back captives of the Saracens, during the Crusades. Their house was on the Wall Knoll, in Pandon, to the east of the city, but within the walls. Wall Knoll had previously been occupied by the White Friars until they moved to new premises in 1307.
All of the above religious houses were closed in about 1540, when Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries.
An important street running through Newcastle at the time was Pilgrim Street, running northwards inside the walls and leading to the Pilgrim Gate on the north wall. The street still exists today as arguably Newcastle's main shopping street.
Tudor period
The Scottish border wars continued for much of the 16th century, so that during that time, Newcastle was often threatened with invasion by the Scots, but also remained important as a border stronghold against them.
During the Reformation begun by Henry VIII in 1536, the five Newcastle friaries and the single nunnery were dissolved and the land was sold to the Corporation and to rich merchants. At this time there were fewer than 60 inmates of the religious houses in Newcastle. The convent of Blackfriars was leased to nine craft guilds to be used as their headquarters. This probably explains why it is the only one of the religious houses whose building survives to the present day. The priories at Tynemouth and Durham were also dissolved, thus ending the long-running rivalry between Newcastle and the church for control of trade on the Tyne. A little later, the property of the nunnery of St Bartholomew and of Grey Friars were bought by Robert Anderson, who had the buildings demolished to build his grand Newe House (also known as Anderson Place).
With the gradual decline of the Scottish border wars the town walls were allowed to decline as well as the castle. By 1547, about 10,000 people were living in Newcastle. At the beginning of the 16th century exports of wool from Newcastle were more than twice the value of exports of coal, but during the century coal exports continued to increase.
Under Edward VI, John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, sponsored an act allowing Newcastle to annexe Gateshead as its suburb. The main reason for this was to allow the Newcastle Hostmen, who controlled the export of Tyne coal, to get their hands on the Gateshead coal mines, previously controlled by the Bishop of Durham. However, when Mary I came to power, Dudley met his downfall and the decision was reversed. The Reformation allowed private access to coal mines previously owned by Tynemouth and Durham priories and as a result coal exports increase dramatically, from 15,000 tons in 1500 to 35,000 tons in 1565, and to 400,000 tons in 1625.
The plague visited Newcastle four times during the 16th century, in 1579 when 2,000 people died, in 1589 when 1700 died, in 1595 and finally in 1597.
In 1600 Elizabeth I granted Newcastle a charter for an exclusive body of electors, the right to elect the mayor and burgesses. The charter also gave the Hostmen exclusive rights to load coal at any point on the Tyne. The Hostmen developed as an exclusive group within the Merchant Adventurers who had been incorporated by a charter in 1547.
Stuart period
In 1636 there was a serious outbreak of bubonic plague in Newcastle. There had been several previous outbreaks of the disease over the years, but this was the most serious. It is thought to have arrived from the Netherlands via ships that were trading between the Tyne and that country. It first appeared in the lower part of the town near the docks but gradually spread to all parts of the town. As the disease gained hold the authorities took measures to control it by boarding up any properties that contained infected persons, meaning that whole families were locked up together with the infected family members. Other infected persons were put in huts outside the town walls and left to die. Plague pits were dug next to the town's four churches and outside the town walls to receive the bodies in mass burials. Over the course of the outbreak 5,631 deaths were recorded out of an estimated population of 12,000, a death rate of 47%.
In 1637 Charles I tried to raise money by doubling the 'voluntary' tax on coal in return for allowing the Newcastle Hostmen to regulate production and fix prices. This caused outrage amongst the London importers and the East Anglian shippers. Both groups decided to boycott Tyne coal and as a result forced Charles to reverse his decision in 1638.
In 1640 during the Second Bishops' War, the Scots successfully invaded Newcastle. The occupying army demanded £850 per day from the Corporation to billet the Scottish troops. Trade from the Tyne ground to a halt during the occupation. The Scots left in 1641 after receiving a Parliamentary pardon and a £4,000,000 loan from the town.
In 1642 the English Civil War began. King Charles realised the value of the Tyne coal trade and therefore garrisoned Newcastle. A Royalist was appointed as governor. At that time, Newcastle and King's Lynn were the only important seaports to support the crown. In 1644 Parliament blockaded the Tyne to prevent the king from receiving revenue from the Tyne coal trade. Coal exports fell from 450,000 to 3,000 tons and London suffered a hard winter without fuel. Parliament encouraged the coal trade from the Wear to try to replace that lost from Newcastle but that was not enough to make up for the lost Tyneside tonnage.
In 1644 the Scots crossed the border. Newcastle strengthened its defences in preparation. The Scottish army, with 40,000 troops, besieged Newcastle for three months until the garrison of 1,500 surrendered. During the siege, the Scots bombarded the walls with their artillery, situated in Gateshead and Castle Leazes. The Scottish commander threatened to destroy the steeple of St Nicholas's Church by gunfire if the mayor, Sir John Marley, did not surrender the town. The mayor responded by placing Scottish prisoners that they had captured in the steeple, so saving it from destruction. The town walls were finally breached by a combination of artillery and sapping. In gratitude for this defence, Charles gave Newcastle the motto 'Fortiter Defendit Triumphans' to be added to its coat of arms. The Scottish army occupied Northumberland and Durham for two years. The coal taxes had to pay for the Scottish occupation. In 1645 Charles surrendered to the Scots and was imprisoned in Newcastle for nine months. After the Civil War the coal trade on the Tyne soon picked up and exceeded its pre-war levels.
A new Guildhall was completed on the Sandhill next to the river in 1655, replacing an earlier facility damaged by fire in 1639, and became the meeting place of Newcastle Town Council. In 1681 the Hospital of the Holy Jesus was built partly on the site of the Austin Friars. The Guildhall and Holy Jesus Hospital still exist.
Charles II tried to impose a charter on Newcastle to give the king the right to appoint the mayor, sheriff, recorder and town clerk. Charles died before the charter came into effect. In 1685, James II tried to replace Corporation members with named Catholics. However, James' mandate was suspended in 1689 after the Glorious Revolution welcoming William of Orange. In 1689, after the fall of James II, the people of Newcastle tore down his bronze equestrian statue in Sandhill and tossed it into the Tyne. The bronze was later used to make bells for All Saints Church.
In 1689 the Lort Burn was covered over. At this time it was an open sewer. The channel followed by the Lort Burn became the present day Dean Street. At that time, the centre of Newcastle was still the Sandhill area, with many merchants living along the Close or on the Side. The path of the main road through Newcastle ran from the single Tyne bridge, through Sandhill to the Side, a narrow street which climbed steeply on the north-east side of the castle hill until it reached the higher ground alongside St Nicholas' Church. As Newcastle developed, the Side became lined with buildings with projecting upper stories, so that the main street through Newcastle was a narrow, congested, steep thoroughfare.
In 1701 the Keelmen's Hospital was built in the Sandgate area of the city, using funds provided by the keelmen. The building still stands today.
Eighteenth century
In the 18th century, Newcastle was the country's largest print centre after London, Oxford and Cambridge, and the Literary and Philosophical Society of 1793, with its erudite debates and large stock of books in several languages predated the London Library by half a century.
In 1715, during the Jacobite rising in favour of the Old Pretender, an army of Jacobite supporters marched on Newcastle. Many of the Northumbrian gentry joined the rebels. The citizens prepared for its arrival by arresting Jacobite supporters and accepting 700 extra recruits into the local militia. The gates of the city were closed against the rebels. This proved enough to delay an attack until reinforcements arrived forcing the rebel army to move across to the west coast. The rebels finally surrendered at Preston.
In 1745, during a second Jacobite rising in favour of the Young Pretender, a Scottish army crossed the border led by Bonnie Prince Charlie. Once again Newcastle prepared by arresting Jacobite supporters and inducting 800 volunteers into the local militia. The town walls were strengthened, most of the gates were blocked up and some 200 cannon were deployed. 20,000 regulars were billeted on the Town Moor. These preparations were enough to force the rebel army to travel south via the west coast. They were eventually defeated at Culloden in 1746.
Newcastle's actions during the 1715 rising in resisting the rebels and declaring for George I, in contrast to the rest of the region, is the most likely source of the nickname 'Geordie', applied to people from Tyneside, or more accurately Newcastle. Another theory, however, is that the name 'Geordie' came from the inventor of the Geordie lamp, George Stephenson. It was a type of safety lamp used in mining, but was not invented until 1815. Apparently the term 'German Geordie' was in common use during the 18th century.
The city's first hospital, Newcastle Infirmary opened in 1753; it was funded by public subscription. A lying-in hospital was established in Newcastle in 1760. The city's first public hospital for mentally ill patients, Wardens Close Lunatic Hospital was opened in October 1767.
In 1771 a flood swept away much of the bridge at Newcastle. The bridge had been built in 1250 and repaired after a flood in 1339. The bridge supported various houses and three towers and an old chapel. A blue stone was placed in the middle of the bridge to mark the boundary between Newcastle and the Palatinate of Durham. A temporary wooden bridge had to be built, and this remained in use until 1781, when a new stone bridge was completed. The new bridge consisted of nine arches. In 1801, because of the pressure of traffic, the bridge had to be widened.
A permanent military presence was established in the city with the completion of Fenham Barracks in 1806. The facilities at the Castle for holding assizes, which had been condemned for their inconvenience and unhealthiness, were replaced when the Moot Hall opened in August 1812.
Victorian period
Present-day Newcastle owes much of its architecture to the work of the builder Richard Grainger, aided by architects John Dobson, Thomas Oliver, John and Benjamin Green and others. In 1834 Grainger won a competition to produce a new plan for central Newcastle. He put this plan into effect using the above architects as well as architects employed in his own office. Grainger and Oliver had already built Leazes Terrace, Leazes Crescent and Leazes Place between 1829 and 1834. Grainger and Dobson had also built the Royal Arcade at the foot of Pilgrim Street between 1830 and 1832. The most ambitious project covered 12 acres 12 acres (49,000 m2) in central Newcastle, on the site of Newe House (also called Anderson Place). Grainger built three new thoroughfares, Grey Street, Grainger Street and Clayton Street with many connecting streets, as well as the Central Exchange and the Grainger Market. John Wardle and George Walker, working in Grainger's office, designed Clayton Street, Grainger Street and most of Grey Street. Dobson designed the Grainger Market and much of the east side of Grey Street. John and Benjamin Green designed the Theatre Royal at the top of Grey Street, where Grainger placed the column of Grey's Monument as a focus for the whole scheme. Grey Street is considered to be one of the finest streets in the country, with its elegant curve. Unfortunately most of old Eldon Square was demolished in the 1960s in the name of progress. The Royal Arcade met a similar fate.
In 1849 a new bridge was built across the river at Newcastle. This was the High Level Bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson, and slightly up river from the existing bridge. The bridge was designed to carry road and rail traffic across the Tyne Gorge on two decks with rail traffic on the upper deck and road traffic on the lower. The new bridge meant that traffic could pass through Newcastle without having to negotiate the steep, narrow Side, as had been necessary for centuries. The bridge was opened by Queen Victoria, who one year later opened the new Central Station, designed by John Dobson. Trains were now able to cross the river, directly into the centre of Newcastle and carry on up to Scotland. The Army Riding School was also completed in 1849.
In 1854 a large fire started on the Gateshead quayside and an explosion caused it to spread across the river to the Newcastle quayside. A huge conflagration amongst the narrow alleys, or 'chares', destroyed the homes of 800 families as well as many business premises. The narrow alleys that had been destroyed were replaced by streets containing blocks of modern offices.
In 1863 the Town Hall in St Nicholas Square replaced the Guildhall as the meeting place of Newcastle Town Council.
In 1876 the low level bridge was replaced by a new bridge known as the Swing Bridge, so called because the bridge was able to swing horizontally on a central axis and allow ships to pass on either side. This meant that for the first time sizeable ships could pass up-river beyond Newcastle. The bridge was built and paid for by William Armstrong, a local arms manufacturer, who needed to have warships access his Elswick arms factory to fit armaments to them. The Swing Bridge's rotating mechanism is adapted from the cannon mounts developed in Armstrong's arms works. In 1882 the Elswick works began to build ships as well as to arm them. The Barrack Road drill hall was completed in 1890.
Industrialisation
In the 19th century, shipbuilding and heavy engineering were central to the city's prosperity; and the city was a powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution. Newcastle's development as a major city owed most to its central role in the production and export of coal. The phrase "taking coals to Newcastle" was first recorded in 1538; it proverbially denotes bringing a particular commodity to a place that has more than enough of it already.
Innovation in Newcastle and surrounding areas included the following:
George Stephenson developed a miner's safety lamp at the same time that Humphry Davy developed a rival design. The lamp made possible the opening up of ever deeper mines to provide the coal that powered the industrial revolution.
George and his son Robert Stephenson were hugely influential figures in the development of the early railways. George developed Blücher, a locomotive working at Killingworth colliery in 1814, whilst Robert was instrumental in the design of Rocket, a revolutionary design that was the forerunner of modern locomotives. Both men were involved in planning and building railway lines, all over this country and abroad.
Joseph Swan demonstrated a working electric light bulb about a year before Thomas Edison did the same in the USA. This led to a dispute as to who had actually invented the light bulb. Eventually the two rivals agreed to form a mutual company between them, the Edison and Swan Electric Light Company, known as Ediswan.
Charles Algernon Parsons invented the steam turbine, for marine use and for power generation. He used Turbinia, a small, turbine-powered ship, to demonstrate the speed that a steam turbine could generate. Turbinia literally ran rings around the British Fleet at a review at Spithead in 1897.
William Armstrong invented a hydraulic crane that was installed in dockyards up and down the country. He then began to design light, accurate field guns for the British army. These were a vast improvement on the existing guns that were then in use.
The following major industries developed in Newcastle or its surrounding area:
Glassmaking
A small glass industry existed in Newcastle from the mid-15th century. In 1615 restrictions were put on the use of wood for manufacturing glass. It was found that glass could be manufactured using the local coal, and so a glassmaking industry grew up on Tyneside. Huguenot glassmakers came over from France as refugees from persecution and set up glasshouses in the Skinnerburn area of Newcastle. Eventually, glass production moved to the Ouseburn area of Newcastle. In 1684 the Dagnia family, Sephardic Jewish emigrants from Altare, arrived in Newcastle from Stourbridge and established glasshouses along the Close, to manufacture high quality flint glass. The glass manufacturers used sand ballast from the boats arriving in the river as the main raw material. The glassware was then exported in collier brigs. The period from 1730 to 1785 was the highpoint of Newcastle glass manufacture, when the local glassmakers produced the 'Newcastle Light Baluster'. The glassmaking industry still exists in the west end of the city with local Artist and Glassmaker Jane Charles carrying on over four hundred years of hot glass blowing in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Locomotive manufacture
In 1823 George Stephenson and his son Robert established the world's first locomotive factory near Forth Street in Newcastle. Here they built locomotives for the Stockton and Darlington Railway and the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, as well as many others. It was here that the famous locomotive Rocket was designed and manufactured in preparation for the Rainhill Trials. Apart from building locomotives for the British market, the Newcastle works also produced locomotives for Europe and America. The Forth Street works continued to build locomotives until 1960.
Shipbuilding
In 1296 a wooden, 135 ft (41 m) long galley was constructed at the mouth of the Lort Burn in Newcastle, as part of a twenty-ship order from the king. The ship cost £205, and is the earliest record of shipbuilding in Newcastle. However the rise of the Tyne as a shipbuilding area was due to the need for collier brigs for the coal export trade. These wooden sailing ships were usually built locally, establishing local expertise in building ships. As ships changed from wood to steel, and from sail to steam, the local shipbuilding industry changed to build the new ships. Although shipbuilding was carried out up and down both sides of the river, the two main areas for building ships in Newcastle were Elswick, to the west, and Walker, to the east. By 1800 Tyneside was the third largest producer of ships in Britain. Unfortunately, after the Second World War, lack of modernisation and competition from abroad gradually caused the local industry to decline and die.
Armaments
In 1847 William Armstrong established a huge factory in Elswick, west of Newcastle. This was initially used to produce hydraulic cranes but subsequently began also to produce guns for both the army and the navy. After the Swing Bridge was built in 1876 allowing ships to pass up river, warships could have their armaments fitted alongside the Elswick works. Armstrong's company took over its industrial rival, Joseph Whitworth of Manchester in 1897.
Steam turbines
Charles Algernon Parsons invented the steam turbine and, in 1889, founded his own company C. A. Parsons and Company in Heaton, Newcastle to make steam turbines. Shortly after this, he realised that steam turbines could be used to propel ships and, in 1897, he founded a second company, Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company in Wallsend. It is there that he designed and manufactured Turbinia. Parsons turbines were initially used in warships but soon came to be used in merchant and passenger vessels, including the liner Mauretania which held the blue riband for the Atlantic crossing until 1929. Parsons' company in Heaton began to make turbo-generators for power stations and supplied power stations all over the world. The Heaton works, reduced in size, remains as part of the Siemens AG industrial giant.
Pottery
In 1762 the Maling pottery was founded in Sunderland by French Huguenots, but transferred to Newcastle in 1817. A factory was built in the Ouseburn area of the city. The factory was rebuilt twice, finally occupying a 14-acre (57,000 m2) site that was claimed to be the biggest pottery in the world and which had its own railway station. The pottery pioneered use of machines in making potteries as opposed to hand production. In the 1890s the company went up-market and employed in-house designers. The period up to the Second World War was the most profitable with a constant stream of new designs being introduced. However, after the war, production gradually declined and the company closed in 1963.
Expansion of the city
Newcastle was one of the boroughs reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835: the reformed municipal borough included the parishes of Byker, Elswick, Heaton, Jesmond, Newcastle All Saints, Newcastle St Andrew, Newcastle St John, Newcastle St Nicholas, and Westgate. The urban districts of Benwell and Fenham and Walker were added in 1904. In 1935, Newcastle gained Kenton and parts of the parishes of West Brunton, East Denton, Fawdon, Longbenton. The most recent expansion in Newcastle's boundaries took place under the Local Government Act 1972 on 1 April 1974, when Newcastle became a metropolitan borough, also including the urban districts of Gosforth and Newburn, and the parishes of Brunswick, Dinnington, Hazlerigg, North Gosforth and Woolsington from the Castle Ward Rural District, and the village of Westerhope.
Meanwhile Northumberland County Council was formed under the Local Government Act 1888 and benefited from a dedicated meeting place when County Hall was completed in the Castle Garth area of Newcastle in 1910. Following the Local Government Act 1972 County Hall relocated to Morpeth in April 1981.
Twentieth century
In 1925 work began on a new high-level road bridge to span the Tyne Gorge between Newcastle and Gateshead. The capacity of the existing High-Level Bridge and Swing Bridge were being strained to the limit, and an additional bridge had been discussed for a long time. The contract was awarded to the Dorman Long Company and the bridge was finally opened by King George V in 1928. The road deck was 84 feet (26 m) above the river and was supported by a 531 feet (162 m) steel arch. The new Tyne Bridge quickly became a symbol for Newcastle and Tyneside, and remains so today.
During the Second World War, Newcastle was largely spared the horrors inflicted upon other British cities bombed during the Blitz. Although the armaments factories and shipyards along the River Tyne were targeted by the Luftwaffe, they largely escaped unscathed. Manors goods yard and railway terminal, to the east of the city centre, and the suburbs of Jesmond and Heaton suffered bombing during 1941. There were 141 deaths and 587 injuries, a relatively small figure compared to the casualties in other industrial centres of Britain.
In 1963 the city gained its own university, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, by act of parliament. A School of Medicine and Surgery had been established in Newcastle in 1834. This eventually developed into a college of medicine attached to Durham University. A college of physical science was also founded and became Armstrong College in 1904. In 1934 the two colleges merged to become King's College, Durham. This remained as part of Durham University until the new university was created in 1963. In 1992 the city gained its second university when Newcastle Polytechnic was granted university status as Northumbria University.
Newcastle City Council moved to the new Newcastle Civic Centre in 1968.
As heavy industries declined in the second half of the 20th century, large sections of the city centre were demolished along with many areas of slum housing. The leading political figure in the city during the 1960s was T. Dan Smith who oversaw a massive building programme of highrise housing estates and authorised the demolition of a quarter of the Georgian Grainger Town to make way for Eldon Square Shopping Centre. Smith's control in Newcastle collapsed when it was exposed that he had used public contracts to advantage himself and his business associates and for a time Newcastle became a byword for civic corruption as depicted in the films Get Carter and Stormy Monday and in the television series Our Friends in the North. However, much of the historic Grainger Town area survived and was, for the most part, fully restored in the late 1990s. Northumberland Street, initially the A1, was gradually closed to traffic from the 1970s and completely pedestrianised by 1998.
In 1978 a new rapid transport system, the Metro, was built, linking the Tyneside area. The system opened in August 1980. A new bridge was built to carry the Metro across the river between Gateshead and Newcastle. This was the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, commonly known as the Metro Bridge. Eventually the Metro system was extended to reach Newcastle Airport in 1991, and in 2002 the Metro system was extended to the nearby city of Sunderland.
As the 20th century progressed, trade on the Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides gradually declined, until by the 1980s both sides of the river were looking rather derelict. Shipping company offices had closed along with offices of firms related to shipping. There were also derelict warehouses lining the riverbank. Local government produced a master plan to re-develop the Newcastle quayside and this was begun in the 1990s. New offices, restaurants, bars and residential accommodation were built and the area has changed in the space of a few years into a vibrant area, partially returning the focus of Newcastle to the riverside, where it was in medieval times.
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge, a foot and cycle bridge, 26 feet (7.9 m) wide and 413 feet (126 m) long, was completed in 2001. The road deck is in the form of a curve and is supported by a steel arch. To allow ships to pass, the whole structure, both arch and road-deck, rotates on huge bearings at either end so that the road deck is lifted. The bridge can be said to open and shut like a human eye. It is an important addition to the re-developed quayside area, providing a vital link between the Newcastle and Gateshead quaysides.
Recent developments
Today the city is a vibrant centre for office and retail employment, but just a short distance away there are impoverished inner-city housing estates, in areas originally built to provide affordable housing for employees of the shipyards and other heavy industries that lined the River Tyne. In the 2010s Newcastle City Council began implementing plans to regenerate these depressed areas, such as those along the Ouseburn Valley.

Documenta From Wikipedia,
The Fridericianum during documenta (13)
documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.
Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.
Etymology of documenta
The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]
Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.
Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]
Criticism
documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]
Directors
The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]
Venues
documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung
Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15
"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."
ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.
Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.
The main principles of the process are:
• Providing space to gather and explore ideas
• Collective decision making
• Non-centralization
• Playing between formalities and informalities
• Practicing assembly and meeting points
• Architectural awareness
• Being spatially active to promote conversation
• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas

Superficie regada por provincias en España
1. El Mapa representa la superficie regada por provincias en España (en porcentaje sobre el total de tierras de cultivo). Analícelo y conteste a las siguientes cuestiones:
a) ¿Cuáles son las provincias que presentan más del 40,0% de sus tierras de cultivo en regadío?
León, Huesca, Lérida, Valencia, Alicante, Murcia, Almería, Jaén, Las Palmas y Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
b) ¿Qué tipo de cultivos son los que motivan la superficie regada en las provincias 1 y 2?
En la provincia n.º 1 (Jaén) el cultivo de regadío predominante es el olivo, un árbol propio de la agricultura de secano, pero con esta técnica su rendimiento resulta muy superior. Además su avance se vio estimulado por la concesión de subvenciones comunitarias.
En la provincia n.º 2 (Almería) existe una gran variedad de cultivos: hortofrutícolas (tomates, pimientos, berenjenas…), flores y plantas ornamentales (rosas, crisantemos, claveles…) y frutas de origen tropical (aguacate, chirimoya, mango…). El cultivo bajo plástico se inició en los años sesenta y cobró un gran impulso con la entrada de España en la Unión Europea (entonces C.E.E.) pues esta área pasó a abastecer a todo el continente de producciones tanto tempranas como de fuera de temporada.
c) ¿Qué condiciones naturales motivan el predominio de la superficie cultivada de regadío en el sureste peninsular?
Las condiciones, en principio, eran muy adversas, pues se trata del área con menos precipitaciones de toda la península. Además la distribución de las lluvias es muy irregular, alternando largos períodos de sequía con bruscas inundaciones que destruían la endeble infraestructura de regadío que se había podido establecer.
No obstante, las condiciones climáticas resultan particularmente benévolas para la actividad agrícola, pues los inviernos resultan suaves, con una práctica ausencia de heladas y los veranos, aunque calurosos, no alcanzan las temperaturas extremas de otras comarcas, como el Valle de Guadalquivir. Por otra parte, las escasas precipitaciones se traducen en muy pocos días de nubosidad, o sea en un elevado número de horas de insolación anuales.
Los suelos predominantes, por otra parte, son de tipo cambisol, que permite una gran variedad de cultivo, siempre que se garantice el suministro de agua. La forma de relieve más usual en esta parte de la península es la llanura aluvial, que resulta idónea para la práctica agrícola.
Tradicionalmente el regadío se reducía a la vega de los escasos ríos que atraviesan este territorio (en particular el Segura). Primero con la edificación de aljibes y, a partir del siglo XIX, con la construcción de embalses, se logró aumentar la superficie irrigada, si bien, los cultivos característicos siguieron siendo los de secano mediterráneo, como cereales, olivo, vid o cítricos.
La situación cambió en la década de 1960, cuando pudieron explotarse los acuíferos subterráneos gracias al empleo de modernas bombas de gran capacidad. El rendimiento agrícola aumentó con el empleo de otras tecnologías novedosas:
-El uso de enarenados que neutralizan los efectos de la sal del y mantienen la humedad del suelo y el calor más tiempo, lo que acelera su crecimiento.
-Los invernaderos que emplean plástico transparente que intensifica el calor y mantiene la humedad.
-La sustitución del riego a manta por el riego por goteo, reduciendo el despilfarro de agua y logrando una irrigación más eficiente.
Estas innovaciones permiten recoger cosechas un mes antes que en campo abierto y con más anticipación que en otras regiones, iniciando recolecciones en diciembre y permitiendo el crecimiento vegetal de las siembras de otoño-invierno hasta marzo, duplicando y, en ocasiones, triplicando el número de cosechas.

In the hands of Kurt Weiser, (b. 1950) the centuries-old tradition of china paint on porcelain is given new life. Weiser’s sumptuous, provocative teapots and jars, resplendent with lush jungle scenes, can be both alluring and unsettling. Detailed depictions of tropical splendor become wayward reveries as radiant colors and subtle distortions transform classic porcelain vessels.
Weiser, trained in ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Michigan, originally worked in an abstract, non-representational style with minimal surface decoration. While director of the Archie Bray foundation in Helena, Montana from 1977-88, he began to feel limited by this approach and contemplated new ways of working. Around 1990, he took the first step towards his current style when he covered a porcelain teapot with intricate botanical imagery using black and white sgraffito. After making a series of visits to Thailand, where he was inspired by the region’s luxuriant, intensely colored flora and fauna, a black and white palette no longer satisfied him. Seeking to capture Thailand’s richness, he began to experiment with China paints. Soon his skill as a colorist became an indispensable element of his work.
With the introduction of color into his work, Weiser also began to indulge his narrative impulses by incorporating figurative elements, drawn both from fantasy and art history, into his jungle scenes. Weiser’s figures, often nude and distorted across the planes of his vessels, move through steamy, Eden-like landscapes, interacting with the natural world they encounter. Themes of lust, predation, scientific curiosities, and the vulnerability of both man and nature abound in these scenes, resonating curiously with the cultivated vessel forms and refined medium Weiser has chosen.
Although Weiser has worked in this style for more than ten years, his work continues to evolve. The technical challenge of the overglazing process he uses, which requires multiple firings for each vessel and careful attention to the order in which colors are applied, forces him to thoroughly consider each piece he creates. Through refining this method of working, he has learned to take full advantage of the three-dimensionality of his surfaces by extending his scenes to fully encompass each vessel. In his recent work, he says that the softened, amorphous forms of his vessels should blend with their seamlessly painted surfaces so that the pots fade from view and “the painting is the three dimensional reality” floating in space as would a dream or reverie. Whether Weiser’s work is interpreted as three-dimensional painting or sensuously decorated porcelain, the pots he creates are among the most vivid and decadent of modern ceramics, providing a distinctive contribution to the ever-expanding medium.
