Sunset over El-Montazah Royal Palace seen from the bridge linking the Palace beach and Geziret El-Shay (Tea Island).
The Palace was one of the palaces of the former Egyptian royal family (the descendants of Muhammad Ali) located in Alexandria, Egypt. It was built in 1892 by Abbas Hilmi Pasha, the last khedive of Egypt.
Built on a low plateau east of Alexandria and overlooking a beautiful beach amid about 370 feddans of gardens and woods, the palace comprises a number of buildings, the most important being Al-Haramlek and Al-Salamlek, the summer residence of the former royal family.

Students perform a drama which demonstrates the important of the sanitation at Maskoke Primely and Secondly School in Gode Town in Somali region of Ethiopia 11 February 2014. In Somali Region water supply coverage is estimated at 59.7%, lower than the national average of 68.5%. The need for water supply normally increases in the dry season, especially at the time of drought such as in recent years. However, the technical and organizational capacity of the Somali Regional State Water Resources Development Bureau (SRWDB) the government agency responsible for water supply and facilities management in the region to satisfy the water supply need is not adequate to cope with the situation. Donor agencies and NGOs are making efforts to ameliorate the situation by constructing and repairing water supply facilities across the region, supplying water by water trucks during chronic shortages, but the supply is still significantly below the demand.

History of Bratislava castle dating back to the Celts and Romans, because Castle Hill was a strategic location at the crossroads of important trade routes. BC was in its place Celtic settlement, which for centuries was replaced by a Roman frontier fort.
The first written reference dates back to 907, when the subject is mentioned under the name Pressalauspruch. Period of the Principality of Nitra and Great Moravia document remains Slavic fortress with three-aisled basilica. Slovak princely castle of several reconstructions and modifications gradually arose from a medieval mid 11th century castle and county. At the time it became a treasure trove of crown jewels and coronation castle later. It established the priory and the Priory School and Church of the Most Holy Saviour. Documentary evidence shows that in the first quarter of the 13th century stood on the highest point complex terrain Romanesque residential tower with separate walls with defensive towers, from which to this day despite rearrangements preserved so. Crown Tower.
For King Sigismund from 1427 began to radically change the appearance of the castle, rebuilding it today vtlačila (pressing) character block monumental structures. King had demolished almost all of that time the building and gradually grew large two-story Gothic palace representative trapezoid in plan. The earlier buildings remain standing today as southwestern Crown defense tower. In this period were also two entrance gates to the castle area, of which only the eastern was preserved, called Sigismund's Gate. Richly structured double-shell architecture with the goal of stonework demanding solution in the form of a donkey back a vault in crossing it included the construction centers of development in the Danube region, which were the models for a wide range of architectures in the period.
The current layout of the castle with a regular quadrangular ground-plan around a central courtyard is a result of the construction directions during the Renaissance and early Baroque. After the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the castle became coronation seat of the Hungarian kings, by the Turkish troops expelled from the original center of the Hungarian Empire in Buda.
Conversions were oriented not only to improve the fortifications of the castle, but also on its modernization.

Bratislava Castle experienced a golden age in the reign of Maria Theresa. The concept of the construction of major projects by French, Italian and Austrian architects were directed at making the castle as a representative residence of the Habsburg Kingdom equalized leading European royal court.
In the western headquarters of the castle have been built new representation staircases. Extensive changes to the application of luxury and contemporary taste, however, occurred in the wider area of the castle. In the east wing of the old palace was added under a new name Theresianum, which served mainly to accommodate the monarch.
It set up a gallery, library and valuable art collections, especially graphic cabinet viceroy Albert of Saxony-Cieszyn. Cabinet known as the Albertina later moved to Vienna, where it is now.

St Martin's church in Coney Street, York (also known as St Martin le Grand) was one of the city's most impressive parish churches until it was largely destroyed by bombing in 1942 (along with the neighbouring Guildhall the biggest loss of the infamous 'Baedecker raids' on York).
The ruined church was partially demolished after the war (specifically the nave clerestories and east window) but the south aisle was restored to serve as the new church, with a new north wall erected in the old nave, the remainder being left as a ruined courtyard as a memorial to the bombing.
The work was undertaken by noted York-based architect George Pace, who added the colourful decoration to the restored ceiling. Surviving features were reused including much medieval glass, the most important being the former west window of the nave, the largest window in a York parish church, which was luckily removed and stored before the bombing and has been impressively repositioned in an especially built transept opposite the main entrance.
This church may have been reduced in size but its rebuilding is nonetheless a great success, with one of the most attractive interiors and important collections of medieval glass in the city. It never used to be open as often as other city churches here, but happily seems to be more frequently accessible these days.

Un obscur bureau, dans un coin de la ville. Le bureau d'information sur l'Union européenne a triste mine.
Banja Luka est une ville frontière, qui doit à ce statut une partie de son histoire. Capitale administrative de l'entité serbe de Bosnie-Herzégovine, la Republika Srpska, Banja Luka a un passé pourtant fortement marqué par la présence des Ottomans, même si certains vestiges ont subi d'importants dommages pendant la guerre de Yougoslavie.
Le terrible tremblement de terre de 1969 ou les massacres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale n'ont pas empêché cette ville de connaître une forte croissance démographique, qui fait de cette ville la seconde par le nombre d'habitants en Bosnie-Herzégovine
Banja Luka is a frontier town, which owes to this status much of its history. Administrative capital of the serbian entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Republika Srpska, Banja Luka has yet a past strongly labelled by the Ottoman era, even if some vestiges suffered main damages during the Yugoslav war.
The tremendous earthquake of 1969 or the Second World war's massacres did not prevent this town to know an important demografic growth, which has made this town the second by its population in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Chinese New Year Celebrations, Carlisle, Cumbria
Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival in modern China, and one of the Lunar New Years in Asia, is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. Celebrations traditionally run from the evening preceding the first day, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. The first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between 21 Jan and 20 Feb.
In 2018, the first day of the Lunar New Year is on Friday, 16 February, initiating the year of the Dog.
It is one of the world's most prominent and celebrated festivals, with the largest annual mass human migration in the world. It is a major holiday in China and has had strong influence on the lunar new year celebrations of its geographic neighbours, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Mauritius, Australia, and the Philippines.
The New Year festival is centuries old and associated with several myths and customs. Traditionally, the festival was a time to honour deities as well as ancestors. Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Lunar New Year vary widely. Often, the evening preceding Lunar New Year's Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for incoming good luck. Windows and doors are decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of "good fortune" or "happiness", "wealth", and "longevity".
Other activities include lighting firecrackers and giving money in red paper envelopes. In about one third of the Mainland population, or 500 million Northerners, dumplings, especially those of vegetarian feature prominently in the meals celebrating the festival.
Save the rainforests! — They are vitally important, producing most of the oxygen we breathe and providing habitat for half of the planet's flora and fauna. Rainforests are under increasing threats for many reasons, including logging, clearing for crops or cattle, and conversion to commercial palm oil plantations. On top of that, the changing climate is having adverse effects on rainforest health, like the fires we experienced in Costa Rica earlier this week ...
In 1934 Auburn introduced a completely redesigned line of automobiles with myriad features for comfort, reliability, performance and ease of use. The primary change was Auburn’s commitment of a huge block of capital to new tooling for all-steel bodies. Although the tooling cost was prodigious, it brought important cost savings in production and resulted in a lighter, lower, stronger and quieter Auburn, which was distinguished by Al Leamy’s smoother and more aerodynamic design.

At the same time, Auburn loaded on a series of features that had previously only been options to its standard production cars and available only on its most expensive models. One of these was freewheeling from LGS, one of Cord Corporation’s many subsidiaries. The Columbia Dual-Ratio rear axle also was made standard, giving Auburn the equivalent of a six-speed transmission. Finally, after several years of availability only on Auburn’s top-line models, four-wheel Bendix hydraulic brakes were made standard across the board, even in the newly introduced six-cylinder line. Eight-cylinder Custom line Auburns augmented their hydraulic brakes with standard power assist. Lycoming, too, made a contribution, increasing the displacement of Auburn’s eight to 280 cubic inches and installing an aluminum cylinder head with 6.2:1 compression and two-barrel carburetor on the Custom 850Y version for 115 horsepower.

The Temple Mount, known in Judaism as Har haBáyit and in Arabic as the Haram al-Sharif , is one of the most important religious sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. It has been used as a religious site for thousands of years. At least four religions are known to have used the Temple Mount: Judaism, Christianity, Roman religion, and Islam.
Judaism regards the Temple Mount as the place where God chose the Divine Presence to rest (Isa 8:18); according to the rabbinic sages whose debates produced the Talmud, it was from here the world expanded into its present form and where God gathered the dust used to create the first man, Adam. The site is the location of Abraham's binding of Isaac, and of two Jewish Temples. According to the Bible the site should function as the center of all national life—a governmental, judicial and, of course, religious center (Deut 12:5-26; 14:23-25; 15:20; 16:2-16; 17:8-10; 26: 2; 31: 11; Isa 2: 2-5; Oba 1:21; Psa 48). During the Second Temple Period it functioned also as an economical center. From that location the word of God will come out to all nations, and that is the site where all prayers are focused. According to Jewish tradition and scripture (2 Chronicles 3:1-2), the first temple was built by Solomon the son of David in 957 BCE and destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The second was constructed under the auspices of Zerubbabel in 516 BCE and destroyed by the Roman Empire in 70 CE. Jewish tradition maintains it is here the Third and final Temple will also be built. The location is the holiest site in Judaism and is the place Jews turn towards during prayer. Among Sunni Muslims, the Mount is widely considered the third holiest site in Islam. Revered as the Noble Sanctuary (Bait-ul-Muqaddas) and the location of Muhammad's journey to Jerusalem and ascent to heaven, the site is also associated with Jewish biblical prophets who are also venerated in Islam. After the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in 637 CE, Umayyad Caliphs commissioned the construction of the al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock on the site. The Dome was completed in 692 CE, making it one of the oldest extant Islamic structures in the world, after the Kaabah. The Al Aqsa Mosque rests on the far southern side of the Mount, facing Mecca. The Dome of the Rock currently sits in the middle, occupying or close to the area where the Bible mandates the Holy Temple be rebuilt.

The remains of Whitby Abbey
The first monastery here, founded in about 657, became one of the most important religious centres in the Anglo-Saxon world. In 664 it was the setting for the Synod of Whitby, a landmark in the history of the Church in England. The headland is now dominated by the shell of the 13th-century church of the Benedictine abbey founded after the Norman Conquest.
In about 1078 a monk called Reinfrid founded a new monastic community at Whitby. At a very early stage in its history this community split and the two parts each developed into a fully fledged Benedictine monastery: one on the headland at Whitby and the other at St Mary’s Abbey, York.
The Benedictine monastery initially probably had timber buildings or reused the Anglian ruins on the headland. About 1100 a stone church and conventual buildings were built in the Romanesque style, as well as a large parish church close by.
In the 13th century the monastery church was rebuilt in the Gothic style. This was a massive undertaking, including major landscaping of the whole site, though there is no documentary evidence for it. The first building campaign is dated on stylistic grounds to about 1225–50. The eastern arm, the crossing and transepts, a central tower, and part of the nave were built before funds seem to have run out.
Work appears to have been resumed on the nave in the 14th century, but it was not finished until the 15th century. The only documentary evidence is a grant of permission for a monk of Whitby to embark on a fundraising campaign in 1338, recorded in the Whitby Cartulary (a compilation of the charters by which the monastery had been given property and legal privileges). The remains of the nave have been loosely dated on the basis of architectural style.
There were doubtless extensive monastic buildings south of the abbey church, but they were almost completely demolished after the abbey’s suppression in 1539.
After the Suppression Sir Richard Cholmley (d.1578) bought the abbey’s buildings and the core of its estates. The Cholmley family adapted part of the abbot's lodgings into a house.
This was only one of the Cholmleys’ residences. Originally from Cheshire, they had already become major landowners in Yorkshire. Sir Hugh Cholmley I (1600–57) played a notable part in the Civil War (1642–51), defending Scarborough Castle for the king before surrendering it in 1645, after which Parliamentarian troops captured and looted the Abbey House at Whitby.
After the war Sir Hugh Cholmley II (1632–89) did much to restore the family estates and added a grand new wing (c 1672), known locally as the Banqueting House, to the Abbey House. He laid out a new entrance courtyard to provide a formal approach and setting.
In the 18th century the Cholmleys moved away, abandoning the Abbey House. The roof of the 1670s wing is said to have been removed after storm damage in the late 18th century.
The shell of the abbey church was substantially complete until the 18th century. It was weakened, however, by erosion from wind and rain. The south transept collapsed in 1736, much of the nave in 1763, the central tower in 1830 and the south side of the presbytery in 1839.
From the early 19th century Whitby became a popular seaside resort, with new terraces laid out on the West Cliff. The abbey ruins became a tourist destination, and rising interest in the site was recorded in numerous engravings and paintings. The publication of Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula in 1897 gave Whitby a major literary association, ensuring that the sinister count would forever be associated with the town.
Ownership of the abbey ruins passed to the Strickland family, who were descendants of the Cholmleys. About 1880 Charles (later Sir Charles) Strickland added a wing to the surviving part of the Abbey House, to adapt it for occasional use as a holiday residence.
In 1914 the German High Seas Fleet shelled Whitby and struck the abbey ruins, causing considerable damage to the west front, though this was later repaired. In 1920 the Strickland family handed the abbey over to the Ministry of Works, and over the following decade Sir Charles Peers directed major excavations at the site, uncovering evidence of the Anglian settlement here.
