L'importance militaire de Kelibia découle de sa position stratégique dans la Méditerranée. Tout en constituant un important passage entre les deux bassins de cette mer, elle est une des rares places d'Afrique capable, en cas de grands conflits maritimes, de neutraliser les bases de Sicile, de Malte, de Gibraltar. Kelibia est aussi la citadelle du Cap-Bon tunisien, sa chute a souvent entraîné celle de la presqu'île et des places du golfe de Tunis.
La cité antique, bâtie aux pieds de l'éperon rocheux que couronne la forteresse, fut une des principales métropoles de la Tunisie jusqu'au XIème siècle.
Sa décadence, liée à l'effondrement de la marine de guerre tunisienne à l'époque Ziride (Xème ; XIème siècle ) fut accélérée par les diverses occupations normandes ( 1083 ; 1112 ). Une partie de ses habitants, désirant alors se mettre à l'abri des dizaines des flottes siciliennes fondèrent, à 2km à l'intérieur des terres, l'agglomération actuelle. Les deux villes coexistèrent durant un siècle, mais à partir l'époque Hafside (XIIème siècle), les sources n'évoquèrent plus de vieille cité, qui fut totalement abandonnée. Toutefois, grâce à sa position stratégique, les princes de Tunis continuèrent à réparer la citadelle, l'actuel Bordj, qui avait toujours constitué l'une des principaux lieux de la côte tunisienne.
The military importance of Kelibia ensues from its strategic position in the Mediterranean Sea. While establishing an important passage between both ponds of this sea, it is one of rare places of capable Africa, in case of big maritime conflicts, to neutralize the bases of Sicily, Malta, Gibraltar. Kelibia is also the citadel of Tunisian Cap-Bon, her fall often pulled(entailed) that of the peninsula and places of the gulf of Tunis.
The antique city(estate), built in the feet of the rocky spur which crowns the fortress, was one of main metropolises of Tunisia until XIth century.
Its decline, bound(connected) to the collapse of the Tunisian navy in the time(period) Ziride (Xth; XIth century) was accelerated by the diverse Norman activities (on 1083; on 1112). A part(party) of his(her) inhabitants, wishing then to put itself shielded from the tens of the Sicilian fleets based(established), in 2km inside lands, the current town. Both cities coexisted for a century
L'Armada est un large rassemblement de grands voiliers organisé à Rouen, dans la Seine-Maritime. Il est un des évènements importants du monde de la mer. Il a lieu tous les quatre à six ans sur les quais de la Seine, au sein même de la métropole normande.
Cette manifestation dure en général une dizaine de jours.
Naissance et évolution de l'évènement
L'idée est venue à la suite d'une course transatlantique entre Rouen et New York qui célébrait le centième anniversaire de la traversée de l'Atlantique par la Statue de la Liberté en 1986. La course fut remporté par le catamaran Roger et Gallet skippé par Éric Loizeau et Patrick Tabarly. Les principaux fondateurs sont Patrick Herr et Jean Lecanuet qui cherchaient une idée pour redynamiser les quais de Rouen.
Ainsi il fut décidé de faire venir les plus grands voiliers du monde à Rouen pour le bicentenaire de la Révolution. La manifestation fut un tel succès qu'elle devint un rendez-vous régulier. Au fil des éditions, la panoplie de bateaux invités s'ouvrit entre autres aux navires de guerre (porte-hélicoptères, sous-marins…) et aux péniches.
C'est une manifestation gratuite pour les visiteurs.
L'arrivée des navires
Les navires arrivent à Rouen au fur et à mesure. Certains ont à démonter en partie le haut de leurs mâts pour pouvoir passer sous les trois ponts en aval de Rouen : le pont de Normandie, le pont de Tancarville et le pont de Brotonne.
Ils ne remontent pas plus haut que le pont Guillaume-le-Conquérant, ce dernier étant trop bas pour permettre aux bateaux de passer, seuls les sous-marins remontent plus en amont. Les navires accostent alors rive droite et rive gauche sur plusieurs kilomètres. Pour permettre aux navires de retrouver ce lieu en 2008, le sixième pont de Rouen, le pont Gustave-Flaubert (en aval du pont Guillaume-le-Conquérant) a été spécialement conçu pour laisser passer les navires.
La manifestation
Durant les dix jours, les quartiers de Rouen sont aux couleurs des différentes nationalités des bateaux invités. Près de 8 000 marins sont présents dans les rues rouennaises.
Des concerts ont lieu tous les jours sur les quais et chaque soir un feu d'artifice est tiré. Le feu d'artifice de clôture est particulièrement soigné. La patrouille de France est également présente pour l'occasion. D'autres animations sont également au programme.
The Armada is a large gathering of tall ships organized in Rouen, in Seine-Maritime. It is one of the important events of the world of the sea. It takes place every four to six years on the banks of the Seine, in the very heart of the Normandy metropolis.
This event usually lasts about ten days.
Birth and evolution of the event
The idea came after a transatlantic race between Rouen and New York celebrating the 100th anniversary of the crossing of the Atlantic by the Statue of Liberty in 1986. The race was won by the catamaran Roger and Gallet skippered by Eric Loizeau and Patrick Tabarly. The main founders are Patrick Herr and Jean Lecanuet who were looking for an idea to revitalize the quays of Rouen.
Thus it was decided to bring the world's largest sailing ships to Rouen for the bicentenary of the Revolution. The event was so successful that it became a regular meeting. Over the course of the editions, the panoply of guest boats opened, among others, to warships (helicopter carriers, submarines ...) and barges.
It is a free event for visitors.
The arrival of ships
The ships arrive in Rouen as and when. Some have to dismount part of the top of their masts to be able to pass under the three bridges downstream of Rouen: the bridge of Normandy, the bridge of Tancarville and the bridge of Brotonne.
They do not go higher than the bridge Guillaume-le-Conquérant, the latter being too low to allow the boats to pass, only the submarines go back upstream. The ships then land right bank and left bank for several kilometers. To allow the ships to find this place in 2008, the sixth bridge of Rouen, the Gustave-Flaubert bridge (downstream of the bridge Guillaume-le-Conquérant) was specially designed to let the ships.
The demonstration
During the ten days, the districts of Rouen are in the colors of the different nationalities of the invited boats. Nearly 8,000 sailors are present in the streets of Rouen.
Concerts are held every day on the docks and every night a fireworks is fired. The firework fence is particularly neat. The patrouille de France is also present for the occasion. Other animations are also on the program.
par ordre alphabétique les bateaux qui seront présents à l’édition 2019 de l’Armada de Rouen. Ils viennent du monde entier et seront ouverts à la visite gratuitement tout au long de l’évènement du 6 au 16 juin 2019. Montez à bord de ces géants des mers et vivez une expérience inoubliable.

My dear friend Jan said something to me tonight that hit me profoundly. She said, "you are more important than the work". Well, ok, she actually said, "you're more important than your work", but that's not how I remembered it when I got into the studio. I have been working straight-out the past 5 weeks or so, plus I'm in the middle of a veritable metal riot working on a new collection of pieces. I have not been eating my vegetables, getting exercise, or spending enough time with friends.
Truth be told, at hectic times like these I often become confused and think that I AM my work. So I made myself this ring to remind me of Jan's words (through an acronym of a misrepresentation of Jan's words), and to take time out to care for myself when I most need to.
Thank you Mawi for posting this on my thread <3
Original size so you can read it farm5.static.flickr.com/4114/4906592807_0c4c42fe46_o_d.jpg
so ummm... I made a new gmail account and twitter account. trying to keep my work going as normal ^___^
Thank you all for the lovely responses and giving me all ideas about what to do etc <3 <3 <3
I have in plan to make a website of my own, but right now the time is really crazy with my final semester eating my life >__<
I will also answer everyone's comments asap! <3
oh btw... I am not sure if this is a good or crazy idea... but it has been on my mind for some time now. For people who commission faceups, would you perhaps like to have videos showing the faceup instead of the photos? Maybe the look of it would come across better?(from many more perspectives also) I could give it a try and use both photos and videos a couple of times and then see how it goes.
The most important and eagerly awaited time of the day has arrived at the thresher in Beamish Museum. One odf the servants from Home Farm has just arrived with an outsized can of sweet milky tea and a mountain of fresh sandwiches for the workers. I have been there many years ago and, believe me, refreshments never tasted better!

Bailgate, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Bailgate is the most important thoroughfare in uphill Lincoln. It forms the North South axis between the Roman North and South gates and is on the line of the famous Roman road Ermine Street. At one end of Bailgate is Newport Arch, originally the North Gate of the Roman walled city and is now the only surviving Roman gateway in Britain still used by traffic. The other end of Bailgate leads into Castle Hill, the medieval space which forms the setting across which the Cathedral and Castle face each other, dating from 1072 and 1068 respectively.
The area is a Conservation Area and the buildings are predominantly listed. It is also rich in archaeology with a number of Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Bailgate is noted by locals and tourists alike for its village atmosphere, individual speciality shops and eating establishments. Roughly half way along Bailgate is an area of open space that includes both the site of an early timber church (AD350-650) and a Roman Well. The outline of the church, probably the earliest in Lincolnshire, is marked out in setts on the ground and the Roman well is covered in a grass topping. The church and well are aligned reflecting the religious significance of water.
The area therefore has its origins in Roman Britain, located as it is within the centre of the significant Roman City of Lindum Colonia. The main influences are medieval, dating from the Norman Conquest and William the Conqueror's decision to build a castle and cathedral here. A short walk in this area can show the influence of 1900 years of history which can be seen, touched and walked through.

Important to the devotion of Mazzarinesi, the Church of Santa Maria del Mazzaro, 1782, originally dedicated to Santa Maria delle Grazie. According to historical sources, the current religious building was built on the previous three other factories dating from the XIIth century. The third, in particular, was destroyed by the earthquake of 1693. The church holds two important artifacts of the XIIth century: a painted panel depicting Saint Maria Delle Grazie and a wooden crucifix.

Arguably the most important of England's cathedrals and its Mother Church, few other buildings embody the nation's history as much as this one. It also bears the distinction of being the first major example of Gothic architecture in Britain, where French masons introduced the style during the rebuilding of the choir following a major fire in the 1170s. Throughout the following centuries it became one of Europe's leading centres of pilgrimage, when thousands flocked to venerate the shrine of murdered archbishop St Thomas Becket, but brought to an abrupt end with the English Reformation, when a saint who defied a monarch was viewed with particular enmity. Though all traces of the rich shrine were destroyed, the site of Becket's martyrdom in the north transept remains a place of reverence to this day.
The cathedral is a stunning building which represents both the earliest and latest styles of English Gothic architecture, from the French inspired eastern limb and apse, to the nave, transepts and the three towers, all soaring examples of the Perpendicular style, the central tower (the 'Bell Harry') being an especially fine structure (the north-west tower was rebuilt in the 1830s as a copy of its medieval neighbour on the south side following the demolition of an earlier Norman tower, thus the present symmetry of the west façade is a relatively recent feature, originally its mismatched towers would have given it a more Continental appearance).
The earliest parts of the cathedral however are Norman, represented the easternmost chapels and transepts flanking the choir, survivors of the fire of 1174, each transept being adorned by a richly decorated miniature tower. The crypt below is the finest in the country, extending below most of the east end (with a transitional early Gothic extension to the east under the apse). Superb examples of Romanesque art can be seen in many of the crypt's sculpted capitals, and the unusually well preserved murals in St Gabriel's chapel (sadly photography is forbidden in these areas).
The cathedral contains many notable tombs and monuments of all periods from the 13th to 20th centuries, foremost amongst them being the tombs of Edward the Black Prince (with a superb bronze effigy) and King Henry IV.
It's most celebrated feature is its wonderful collection of stained glass, much of it dating back to the late 12th and early 13th centuries including a sequence of the Ancestors of Christ and the especially beautiful 'Miracle windows' in the ambulatory (relating various miracles associated with Becket's shrine). The glass is justly famous as the very finest in Britain, its deep blues and reds often compared with the famous windows of Chartres.
On the north side many of the former monastic buildings remain, with a fine late medieval cloister and a vast rectangular chapter house. The cathedral library also stands here, but was rebuilt after being destroyed by bombing in World War II; fortunately all the medieval glass in the cathedral had been removed for safe-keeping throughout the war and damage to the building was otherwise superficial.
Canterbury Cathedral put simply invites superlatives, one of the most rewarding churches anywhere and a magnificent testament to England's Christian heritage.

Two important signatories of the National Covenant were James Graham, Marquess of Montrose, and Archibald Campbell, Marquess of Argyll. Both men professed loyalty to King Charles, but when the covenanters began to force people to sign the National Covenant, Montrose broke with what he perceived to be the excesses of Argyll's reforming party, and led a royalist army in Scotland against Argyll.
Montrose was executed outside St Giles' at the Mercat Cross in 1650, and his head placed on a spike outside the church. After the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660, Montrose's head and body were exhumed and reinterred in St Giles' with full honours. His memorial stands in the Chepman Aisle
The Origins of St Giles'
There is record of a parish church in Edinburgh by the year 854, served by a vicar from a monastic house, probably in England. It is possible that the first church, a modest affair, was in use for several centuries before it was formally dedicated by the bishop of St Andrews on 6 October 1243. The parish church of Edinburgh was subsequently reconsecrated and named in honour of the patron saint of the town, St Giles, whose feast day is celebrated on 1 September.
The Covenanters
In 1638, those opposed to King Charles’ plans to reintroduce episcopacy in Scotland signed the National Covenant. In 1643, following a split amongst those who disagreed with the king, the Solemn League and Covenant was drawn up and then ratified by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, then meeting in the Preston Aisle of St Giles’. The National Covenant may still be seen today in the Preston Aisle.
That St Giles, a 7th century hermit (and, later, abbot) who lived in France, became the patron of both town and church was probably due to the ancient ties between Scotland and France.
According to legend, Giles was accidentally wounded by a huntsman in pursuit of a hind and, after his death in the early 8th century, there were dedicated to him hospitals and safe houses for cripples, beggars and lepers were established throughout England and Scotland within easy reach of the impoverished and the infirm. St Giles is usually depicted protecting a hind from an arrow, which had pierced his own body, a fine relief of which rests in the tympanum over the west (main) doors of the Cathedral.
St Giles' in the Middle Ages
St Giles' was founded in the 1120s when the Scottish royal family, the sons of Queen (Saint) Margaret and King Malcolm Canmore, especially David I (1124-1153) made strenuous efforts to spread Catholic Christian worship throughout the Scottish lowlands.
This church was probably quite small, Norman (i.e. Romanesque, with rounded arches and elaborate carving) in style, like others built at the same time. Few traces of it survive in the present building.
In 1385, a much larger church (early Gothic, pointed arches and simple octagonal pillars) was partially burned. No record has been found of the building of this second church. It was quickly repaired.
Over the next 150 years many chapels were added. These included chapels set up by the craftsmen's guilds of Edinburgh, chapels endowed by prominent merchants and nobles, and a chapel for a relic of St Giles. By the middle of the 16th century, there were around fifty altars in the church.
The Church becomes a Cathedral
For more than a century after the Reformation, worship in St Giles’ was disrupted by the disagreements about church government. In 1633, King Charles I appointed Scottish Episcopal bishops in Scotland and in 1635 William Forbes became the first bishop of the new diocese of Edinburgh, with St Giles’ as its cathedral, which it remained until 1638 and again from 1661-1689. That St Giles’ is commonly called a cathedral dates from this period.
St Giles' in the 20th and 21st Centuries
In 1911 the Thistle Chapel (architect: Sir Robert Lorimer) was completed, to be used by the Knights of the Thistle, Scotland's order of chivalry. Though small, it is in 15th century high Gothic style and full of elaborate carvings in wood and stone and of colourful heraldry.
Over the last hundred years or more, St Giles' has hosted important events including state occasions and services of national thanksgiving.
A new restoration programme began in 1977. In addition to essential repairs to roof, stone and glass, the interior has been lightened, the focus of worship moved from the east end to a new sanctuary in the middle of the church ("the crossing") and a magnificent new organ installed. Space has been converted from old cellars and crypts for meeting and eating. Much remains to be done

Or the Jerusalem Citadel. An ancient citadel located near the Jaffa Gate. The citadel that stands today dates to the Mamluk and Ottoman periods. It was built on the site of an earlier ancient fortification of the Hasmonean, Herodian, Christian and Arab-Muslim eras, but was completely destroyed after the Mamluk conquest of Jerusalem. It contains important archaeological finds dating back over 2,000 years including a quarry dated to the First Temple period.
hello everyone (to anyone one thats still there lol i only have 5 followers now) I know i have been inactive and posted hardly anything in more than a year (also because i realised my account was totally cringe)
But anyways, to be honest there was only one reason i started this account up again and that was because of one of my best friends (who will remain anonymous) He comes from Iraq in mosul which is currently controlled by ISIL. if his father doesn't get a degree or a higher education he will be moved back to Iraq and face the risk of being punished purely because he is not part of ISIL and our government says he is not fit to stay in the EU.
I know it doesn't mean much but i hope this account will get some recognition and some light will be shined on this issue.

Appearing up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than an average full moon, as noted by sciencealert.com, November's supermoon could very well be a once-in-a-lifetime event for many.
The moon is at the closest to Earth it has been since 1948. At its closest point the moon will be only 221,524 miles from Earth, according to NASA.
That makes it the most "super" of moons — at least so far this century. The next Super Moon this close to the Earth will not be until 2034.
*********************************************************************
This photo was taken one hour before the peak full moon; which occurred here just after dawn and when the moon was below the horizon.
*********************************************************************
Colors are what was seen with the naked eye.
The red tinge to the moon was very brief: as was the dawn Blue Hour. These colors happened for only a minute or so as the moon set in the West & the sun quickly rose in the East. There is some color fringing around the moon. That was "as shot", but I have no known explanation for the effect.
