Mission began 1872, services in Institute 1880, Congregational church (built 1870) let to Free Presbyterians and Anglicans after 1873, sold 1882 to Anglicans.
“Kingston . . . The Rev. Mr. Hector held service of the Church of England in the School Room on Tuesday evening last, and during the week visited the members of that body residing in the township. I hear, by the appointment of several more lay readers, arrangements have been made so that in future service will be oftener and more regularly conducted.” [Narracoorte Herald 4 Jun 1878]
“Church of England service was held in the evening in the Lacepede Bay Institute.” [Narracoorte Herald 2 Apr 1880]
“Kingston . . . A little excitement is caused by an advertisement that the congregational church, at present rented by the Church of England, is for sale by tender, and I hear that both the Catholic and church of England congregations are about to put in for it.” [Border Watch 26 Apr 1882]
“Sunday the 18th is, I hear, the day fixed for the opening of the new Wesleyan church . . . and on that day also the Rev. Mr. Cowan, incumbent of the English church at Robe, will commence his monthly services in the Church of England here.” [Narracoorte Herald 13 Dec 1887]
“Earthquake . . . Church of England walls cracked, and part ceiling down; not likely to be any service on Sunday.” [Narracoorte Herald 18 May 1897]
“Earthquake . . . The Anglican Church has suffered considerably, £100 worth of damage having been done. The belfry has been smashed, and the walls shattered, and it is a question whether it is worth repairing.” [Register 19 May 1897]
“The letter of your correspondent which appears in the last issue of your valuable paper might possibly give your readers the impression that there is a sad want of loyalty among the Church people of Kingston. That this is not the case is evidenced by the fact that on the Sunday following the death of our late lamented Queen, Holy Trinity Church was suitably draped in black, and the services throughout that day were of a memorial character, and followed implicitly the instructions of the chapter. The Dead March was played at the close of the services, the congregation standing. The church remained draped until the Saturday morning on which the funeral took place, and the church bell was tolled in accordance with custom. . . [signed] Peoples' Warden.” [Narracoorte Herald 26 Feb 1901]
“Holy Trinity Church, Kingston. . . During the year sundry improvements have been made and instead of two side aisles there is now one centre aisle. The altar has been enriched by a handsome cross presented by Miss Lea, of Lake Robe, who also gave a new paten. To Mr. Cook, who has now left the district, the church owes an artistic litany desk. The font has been raised on a pedestal of imitation colored marble and new matting has been procured. Last, but not least, a new organ now adorns the choir, the old one being relegated to the Sunday-school, which is now held in the Oddfellows' Hall.” [Narracoorte Herald 30 May 1905]
“Mr. Pearce has just completed a handsome altar and reredos for Holy Trinity Church, Kingston. It was wholly constructed of Australian oak (stringy bark) in his factory by Mr. C. W. Hall. It was presented to the church, and bears the following inscription:- ‘To the glory of God, and in grateful memory of Eric Darcy Tapfield; killed in action at Amman, 30th March, 1918.’ The altar and reredos is 7ft. high and 6ft. wide, and is beautifully polished. It reflects credit on Mr. Pearce and his workmen.” [Border Watch 30 Oct 1925]

This is a photograph from the 4th Annual Multyfarnham (Multy) 5KM which was held in the village of Multyfarnham about 15KM west of Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 3rd June 2015 at 20:00. An incredible and unprecedented crowd of almost 300 participants took to the route including runners, joggers and walkers which was on an out-and-back course on beautiful country roads. The weather was perfect for racing and running. The fast course combined with the good weather conditions provided personal and seasonal bests for many of the participants. The GAA Club and Community Centre provided car-parking and the race headquarters. Overall this was a very well organised race event which on the evidence of tonight's race can grow even further in future years. As this and other photographs in this set shows there is nothing like an evening race in summer time in rural Ireland. Multyfarnham's setting amongst the rolling hills of north county Westmeath and not far from the shores of Lough Derravaragh provides a wonderful race setting. The village of Multy is easily accessible and is just two miles off the N4 Dublin Sligo road.
We have an extensive set of photographs from tonight in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157653957377992

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Ramzan is a special month for Muslims world over, and its even more special at Hajvery University as each year we prepare ourselves to offer Iftar & dinner to more than 1100 people on a daily basis. It’s a sight to experience, to see such a large number of people sitting and breaking fast together. Needless to say, its a daunting task to distribute food among a 1100+ people during iftar - on time. This is where our management, staff, and a whole team of cooks and support staff work very hard to prepare and distribute the iftar and dinner on time.
“It’s an immensely rewarding experience and words simply will not do justice to the feelings which we have after each Roza’s activity.
On any typical Roza, Rozeydars begin to assemble at Hajvery University Main Campus lawns, 30 mins before Iftar time. People break their fast with Roof Afzha & Dates, and Dinner is served after Magrib Prayer, which includes chicken alu, chicken channa, etc, everyday is a meat day here. Rozeydar are also treated to delicious desserts after meal, and the regular entries include: Meethay chawal, Kheer, Halwa etc. To ensure we distribute in a timely fashion, different teams are dedicated to distribute water, roti, salan and desserts.
Corporate Social Responsibility has a central role in HU’s Mission statement and vision, and we undertake programs all year round to serve the communities around us in various ways, such as distributing aid & medicines to hospitals, sending aid to orphanages and madrassas, distribution of ration packets among the needy. In future we hope and pray to Almighty that we can serve the country and communities around us even more. Ameen.
Hajvery University (HU) is one of the leading Universities in Pakistan. HU is Chartered by Govt. Of Pakistan, Accredited by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) and rated W category. HU is a progressive, Student Centric University, focused on offering rigorous, market driven courses in Business, Fashion, Engineering, Computer sciences, Textile Design, Media Studies, Economics, Commerce, Pharmacy & English For details: Web: www.hup.edu.pk, UAN: 042-111-777-007 Email: info@hup.edu.pk
Inspired by everyones lovely finished tops (and quilts too), I decided to work on mine today. I was going for a queen sized quilt, but I happened to have 9 of my blocks finished, so I sewed them together and I think I'm leaving it as is. Beacause I really don't want to hand quilt anything bigger than this. I have the makings of 7 blocks left over, so I may make a baby version and some cushions in future.
A member from the Colombian Air Force Parachute Team, Gules Eagle, prepares to land during a jump during Feria Aeronautica Internacional—Colombia 2019 at José María Córdova International Airport in Rionegro, Colombia, July 12, 2019. The United States Air Force is participating in the four-day air show with four South Carolina Air National Guard F-16s as static displays, along with an F-16 aerial demonstration by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. United States military participation in the air show provides an opportunity to strengthen our military-to-military relationships with regional partners and provides the opportunity to meet with our Colombian air force counterparts and facilitate interoperability, which can be exercised in future cooperation events such as exercises and training.

Transportation Director Leah Treat announced today that the Portland Bureau of Transportation surpassed its goal of preserving 100 lane miles of City streets during the budget year that ended June 30.
In 2015-16, PBOT expects to apply more crack sealing to arterial streets, as a way to extend the life of those streets and avoid more costly rebuilds and repaving projects. At a news conference on North Argyle Street, crews demonstrated how it works.
For every $15 million we invest in preventive maintenance, PBOT estimates the City of Portland can avoid at least $50 million a year in future costs.

"We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home." - Aboriginal proverb
. . .
"According to Norse mythology, the first humans, Ask and Embla, were formed out of two pieces of driftwood, an ash and an elm, by the god Odin and his brothers, Vili and Vé. The Vikings would cast wood into the sea before making landfall. The location of the wood would be an indication as to where to build their mead halls. The wood used would found the high-seat pillars of the new hall."
(1) When "...Ingólfr Arnarson (became) the first settler in Iceland, he threw his high-seat pillars (öndvegissúlur) overboard and vowed to build his homestead where the pillars were driven ashore. Ingólfr A deeply religious and circumspect man, he felt that it was a great test of his luck and fortune to be the first settler in this unoccupied land, where the landvættir populated every hill and mountain. Therefore, he trusted the gods, to whom his high seat pillars were consecrated, to direct him to a farm site that was auspiciously located, and which would not be looked on with disfavor by the landvættir.
Ingólfr lost sight of the pillars as they drifted away from the ship. He landed, and after wintering over, he sent his slaves to find the pillars. Not until three years later were the pillars found. Ingólfr moved his farmstead to this new location where the pillars washed ashore, in the present location of Reykjavík.
Interestingly, the slaves had a low opinion of the site chosen by the gods, grumbling about all the good country they passed over in favor of the remote headland where the pillars were found."
(2) "The story of Lodmund the Old is also told in Landnámabók (ch. 289). He was another settler in Iceland who threw his high-seat pillars overboard in order to let the gods decide the best place for him to settle. He did not find the pillars when he reached land, and eventually settled in northern Iceland.
Three years later, he learned his pillars had washed ashore in southern Iceland. Taking immediate action, he loaded all his possessions on board his ship and sailed away, forbidding anyone to speak his name as he lay down and remained silent. As they departed, a great landslide came down on his house and destroyed it. Lodmund spoke a formal curse, declaring that no ship that sailed from that place in future would ever reach its destination. He then sailed to the location where the pillars washed ashore and built his house there.
Through his actions, Lodmund transferred away from himself that bad luck that fell on him by failing to follow the guidance of the gods who had directed his high-seat pillars. The curse was an attempt to transfer the bad luck to the spot occupied by his original house, while he himself escaped it." -- c/o W.R. Short.

Stratford-on-Avon Canal at Solihull Lodge.
Near the Canal Bridge on the High Street in Solihull Lodge.
The idea was to walk the towpath towards Yardley Wood, but the towpath was too wet and muddy.
I did go along a bit before turning back for the Solihull Lodge High Street.
Will need to try again in future.
Plaque from 1963.
After Reconstruction this bridge was opened by Councillor J.L. Shepherdson, Mayor of Solihull. 30th March 1963.
This is a photograph from the 4th Annual Multyfarnham (Multy) 5KM which was held in the village of Multyfarnham about 15KM west of Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 3rd June 2015 at 20:00. An incredible and unprecedented crowd of almost 300 participants took to the route including runners, joggers and walkers which was on an out-and-back course on beautiful country roads. The weather was perfect for racing and running. The fast course combined with the good weather conditions provided personal and seasonal bests for many of the participants. The GAA Club and Community Centre provided car-parking and the race headquarters. Overall this was a very well organised race event which on the evidence of tonight's race can grow even further in future years. As this and other photographs in this set shows there is nothing like an evening race in summer time in rural Ireland. Multyfarnham's setting amongst the rolling hills of north county Westmeath and not far from the shores of Lough Derravaragh provides a wonderful race setting. The village of Multy is easily accessible and is just two miles off the N4 Dublin Sligo road.

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

New arrival. In future I will transform this delivery van from Hamburg Germany into a dutch company delivery van.
AKA The Walkie Talkie, it is an impressive building, but as I said before it seems to dominate and cower over its surrounds. And judging by the way the guard was chasing someone looking in through the glass of the lobby, the area inside the bollards is private property, and they don't like snoopers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
20 Fenchurch Street is a commercial skyscraper in London that takes its name from its address on Fenchurch Street, in the historic City of London financial district. It has been nicknamed The Walkie-Talkie because of its distinctive shape.[3] Construction was completed in spring 2014, although the top-floor 'sky gardens' are expected to open during 2015. The 34-storey building is 160 m (525 ft) tall, making it the fifth-tallest building in the City of London.
Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly and costing over £200 million, 20 Fenchurch Street features a highly distinctive top-heavy form which appears to burst upward and outward. A large viewing deck, bar and restaurant will be included on the top three floors; these will be open to the public.
The tower was originally proposed at nearly 200 m (656 ft) tall but its design was scaled down after concerns about its visual impact on the nearby St Paul's Cathedral and Tower of London. It was subsequently approved in 2006 with the revised height. Even after the height reduction there were continued concerns from heritage groups about its impact on the surrounding area. The project was consequently the subject of a public inquiry; in 2007 this ruled in the developers' favour and the building was granted full planning permission.[4]
In their preliminary results for 2007, joint-developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf Group said 20 Fenchurch Street would be completed in 2011, however in 2009 during the depths of the Great Recession, the estimated completion was changed to 2014.[5][6]
It is one of a number of new tall buildings in the area; others include The Pinnacle, the Leadenhall Building, and an as yet unnamed project at 52-54 Lime Street. A number of companies, including several insurers and syndicates of the nearby Lloyd's insurance market, agreed to become tenants of 20 Fenchurch Street upon its completion, and the building has been one of the City's most successful in attracting tenants.
The new tower at 20 Fenchurch Street was designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly. The top-heavy design is partly intended to maximise floor space towards the top of the building, where rent is typically higher.
The building utilises double and triple-glazed panelised aluminium cladding on its exterior.
The botanical gardens at the top of the building will be London's highest public park — marginally higher than Rickman Hill Park in Coulsdon at 155 m above sea level at its highest point. The gardens will span the top three floors, will be accessible by two express lifts, and include a viewing area, terrace, café, bar and restaurant. Fourteen double-deck lifts (seven low-rise up to the 20th floor, seven high-rise above the 20th floor) serve the main office floors of the building.
The south side of the structure is ventilated externally to improve efficiency and decrease solar gain, whilst the east and west faces incorporate extensive solar shading. There is a southern entrance in addition to the main northern entrance set back from Fenchurch Street.
In January 2009, Canary Wharf Contractors began piling on the site of 20 Fenchurch Street, signalling the start of construction of The Walkie-Talkie. Piling and ground works were completed in June 2009.[8]
In January 2011, work at the basement level of the tower began.[9] By the end of October 2011, the building was rising above street-level. December 2011 saw the tower's core begin to rise.[10][11] The concrete core was topped out in March 2012 and by July the structural steelwork was under way around the core.[12] Structural steelwork topped out in December 2012.[13]
Fire protection contractor Sharpfibre Ltd began applying fire protection to the structural steelwork in December 2012, completing in March 2013. Cementitious spray was applied to the steelwork, which was supplied directly to the entire building using a purpose-built mixing and pumping station located on the ground floor.[14]
The building completed to shell and floor in April 2014 and the first tenants began moving into the building from May 2014.
During the building's construction, it was discovered that for a period of up to two hours each day if the sun shines directly onto the building, it acts as a concave mirror and focuses light onto the streets to the south.[15] Spot temperature readings including up to 91 °C (196 °F)[16] and 117 °C (243 °F) were observed[17] during the summer of 2013, when the reflection of a beam of light up to six times brighter than direct sunlight shining onto the streets beneath damaged vehicles parked on the street nearby, including one on Eastcheap whose owner was paid £946 by the developers for repairs to melted bodywork. The media responded by dubbing the building the "Walkie Scorchie"[18][19][20] and "Fryscraper".[15][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]
In September 2013, the developers issued a statement saying that the City of London Corporation had approved plans to erect temporary screening on the streets to prevent similar incidents, and that they were also "evaluating longer-term solutions to ensure the issue cannot recur in future".[15][28] In May 2014, it was announced that a permanent awning would be installed on the south side of the higher floors of the tower.[29]
The building's architect, Rafael Viñoly, also designed the Vdara hotel in Las Vegas which reportedly has a similar sunlight reflection problem that some employees called the "Vdara death ray".[30] The glass has since been covered with a non-reflective film.[31]
In an interview with The Guardian, Viñoly said that horizontal sun-louvers on the south side that had been intended to prevent this problem were removed at some point during the planning process. While he conceded that there had been "a lot of mistakes" with the building, he agreed with the building's developers that the sun was too high in the sky on that particular day. "[I] didn't realise it was going to be so hot," he said, suggesting that global warming was at fault. "When I first came to London years ago, it wasn't like this ... Now you have all these sunny days."
Call it elegance, eccentricity or exhibitionism. In fact call it whatever you like as long as you cloak it in swathes of beautiful tweed fabric.
This is the Tweed Run 2016, a jolly ride around London for some pretty colourful characters who exhibited a real sense of cheer and general bonhomie. My good friend Michael came up with the idea of us paying it a visit. This fits in entirely with our enjoyment of shooting portraits of interesting people who are happy to have their photos taken (this being quite important for those like me in the early stages of their portrait photography learning curve !!)
Apparently this was the eighth running (or riding ?) of the Tweed Run, and they were lucky with the weather, it being a generally bright day with light wind.
My normal idea of a beautiful bike is a Campagnolo equipped Colnago, but I could certainly appreciate the incredible machines being ridden, many of which had clearly been the subject of much love and attention.
Thank you to all those who stopped and smiled. It had been a difficult day, mainly consisting of our trying to find out where on earth the group were meeting up, the route, and the finish ! I do hope that in future years this information gets published more widely as I would certainly enjoy coming back for more.
Chapeau to all those who took part !!
6,000 students voice their concerns to elected officials at town hall meetings
Nearly 6,000 students from the Elizabeth School District’s high schools raised their voices and concerns about gun violence to federal, state, county and local officials at town halls held at each of Elizabeth’s schools today.
The district arranged and coordinated the town halls on the one-month anniversary of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. to give students direct contact with the officials who make gun laws and enforce safety. The meetings, coordinated with the student governments of the seven high schools, were an outgrowth of student concerns following the events in Parkland.
“The action taken today by the student government at Elizabeth High School Frank J. Cicarell Academy, in collaboration with the faculty and administration, is the first step in ending a vicious cycle of mass shootings that have plagued our schools for far too long now,” said EHS Sophomore Class President Daniel Cano.
“We have worked over the past couple of weeks to make today the day our voices were finally heard by the officials responsible for our safety. This is just the beginning,” said Cano
Elizabeth Public Schools Superintendent Olga Hugelmeyer and Elizabeth Board of Education President Maria Z. Carvalho expressed their gratitude to the officials that spoke to the district’s high school students and felt the assemblies were very successful in allowing students to voice their perspectives on the issues of gun violence and school safety
“We understand and share the frustration and fear our students have in witnessing these terrible, life-altering events,” said Superintendent of Schools Olga Hugelmeyer. “Students have a unique and important voice in this dialogue and it is imperative that we listen.”
“No one has a greater interest in school safety than the students,” said Elizabeth Board of Education President Maria Carvalho. “Our students are passionate, concerned and thoughtful. Their voices count.”
The officials who took part in the programs were:
•U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Robert Menendez
•State Senators Joseph Cryan and Nicholas Scutari; and former State Senator Raymond Lesniak
•Union County Freeholders Angel Estrada, Angela Garretson, Sergio Granados, and Christopher Hudak
•Union County Undersheriff Amilcar Colon
•Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage
•Elizabeth City Council members Carlos Torres, Kevin Kiniery, Patricia Perkins-Auguste, Manny Grova, Jr. and Carlos Cedeño
•Elizabeth Board of Education President Maria Carvalho and Board Member Stanley Neron
United States Senator Robert Menendez praised Elizabeth students in a video posted on his Facebook page.
“I stand in solidarity with you so that we can turn ‘once again’ into ‘never again,’” said U.S. Senator Robert Menendez. “You’ve turned your mourning into a movement.”
Students from throughout the district felt the day’s events marked a step in the right direction toward students’ voices being heard on the issues of school safety and gun violence and making schools and students safer.
“The event was very educational and an important experience. I was impressed by the speakers in today’s assembly,” said Thomas Jefferson Arts Academy Sophomore Class President Ariana Montoya. “It’s good to know the government is siding with (you) and is willing to listen to you no matter how small you feel you are. I also learned that we can be a generation of change and we can change the story by standing up and making them hear our voice.”
“Today was a success! Everyone united and discussed what was important to them. Students, now, feel that their voices are being heard,” said Thomas A. Edison Career and Technical Academy Student Council Senior President Isis Luna Umanzor.
"I appreciated that as a representative of student government, administration took the opinions and views of the students into consideration when organizing today's events, crafting questions for the guest speaker, and giving the student council government a greater sense of purpose," said Alexander Hamilton Preparatory Academy Student Government Vice President Elisabeth Point Du Jour.
“Today we honored the lives of all of the children and young adults who have been taken away from their families and friends due to a mass shooting. All over the nation students walked out of their schools to pay tribute to them. Along (with) Dwyer Academy, (we) decided to focus on unity and made all the students be part of an assembly where we spoke to our board of education members and (faculty members) on what we, the students, believe should be taking place to prevent another school shooting,” said Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr. Health and Public Safety Academy Senior Student Council President Estrella Rivas.
“I feel that lines of communication are open so that communication can continue and concerns will be heard and addressed in future town hall meetings," said John E. Dwyer Technology Academy Student Council President Fajr Wilson.
“It was nice because it was a safe atmosphere; it was safer than going outside but still allowed us to keep our first amendment rights,” said J. Christian Bollwage Finance Academy Freshman Student Government representative Joseph Espinal.

Indo-Lanka relations go back to a time that diffuses into the mist of history. This historical relationship has continued to leave an intense emotional bonding in the minds of the people of both countries. Sri Lanka is indelibly ingrained in the minds of the Indian people through the epic Ramayana. Similarly, India remains embedded in the psyche of the Sri Lankan people as the land where Gautama Buddha preached his enlightened message, gifted to Sri Lanka by emperor Ashoka. It was the advent of Buddhism that marked the flourishing of the Sinhala Buddhist civilization in Sri Lanka and the umbilical cord relationship between the Sinhala people and Buddhism, the safeguarding of which, the Sinhala people see as their tryst with destiny.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the pioneers of the 20th century Buddhist revival in Sri Lanka and India were Sri Lankans who came and lived in India for a large part of their active lives. Foremost among them was Anagarika Dharmapala, founder of the Mahabodhi Society, who first visited India in 1891. He thereafter pioneered the cause of revival and restoration of Buddha Gaya, the site where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment, and other centres of Buddhism in India which had for centuries been prone to neglect and waste. During this effort, alongside him was his chief and foremost disciple, Brahmachari Devapriya Valisinha.
Born in Apulatotuwa, a small village in the Sabaragamuwa Province of Sri Lanka, on February 10, 1904, Devapriya Valisinha was the sixth child of a family of seven brothers and sisters.
During the first three decades of the 20th century, the activities undertaken by Anagarika Dharmapala began to resonate in Sri Lanka and abroad. On the one hand he had started the mission of propagating the sublime message of Gautama Buddha in Asia, Europe, and America. On the other hand he was travelling the length and breadth of Sri Lanka stirring up the people and inculcating in them a nationalistic sense and a pride in the values Buddhist culture, which was being threatened by centuries of colonial rule.
An accidental meeting with Anagarika Dharmapala, during a visit to the village temple changed the course of young Devapriya’s life. He was adopted by Anagarika Dharmapala and entrusted to the care of Mallika Hewavitharana, mother of Anagarika Dharmapala. In 1917 Devapriya Valisinha came to India for his studies. He passed out from the Presidency College, Kolkata and was also enrolled at Shantiniketan. Incidentally, he was the first Sri Lankan student at Shantiniketan. During that time, he was also the Editor of the Ashram magazine and the Secretary of the Literary Association.
Devapriya was an average Sinhalese with a Bengali appearance. He wore Bengali dress and spoke Bengali. Once Anagarika Dharmapala wrote in his diary, "Devapriya started to Bolpur (Shantiniketan). I do not know how he will behave in future. He is now like a Bengali boy of a good family. I hope he will not be proud." (The Maha Bodhi-20.11.1917). No doubt the values of universalism he exhibited in later life were imbibed during his time at the Ashram of Rabindranath Tagore.
Having been involved in the work of the Mahabodhi Society since the early 1920s, Devapriya was elected Recording Secretary and Treasurer in 1927. It was on his initiative that Mahatma Gandhi was invited to preside over the Buddha Poornima celebrations in 1925 in Kolkata. After the passing away of his mentor Anagarika Dharmapala, Devapriya Valisinha was elected General Secretary of the Mahabodhi Society in 1933, a post he went on to hold for 35 years until his death in 1968.
Devapriya Valisinha’s foremost contribution to the 20th century Buddhist revival was to provide leadership to resolving the question of the Bodh Gaya temple after the demise of Dharmapala. Beginning in 1922, when he along with other notable personalities, attended the Gaya Congress and raised the Temple Question. Devapriya continued the agitation enlisting the support of the leaders of the Indian independence struggle as well as other Buddhist countries.
In 1941 when World War broke out, Devapriya was arrested along with Dr Kalidas Nag and lodged in the Lalbazar lockup. After his release he was ordered not to go beyond a radius of five miles from the place of residence. He thereafter left for Sri Lanka on a visit but upon arrival was served with a notice not to return to India till the end of the war. He was, therefore, compelled to spend six years in Ceylon during which time he rendered yeoman service in building up the Mahabodhi Society in Sri Lanka.
Upon his return to India, the Government of the State of Bihar in newly independent India passed the Bodh Gaya Temple Management Act of 1949 based on the recommendations of a Committee headed by Dr Rajendra Prasad. Devapriya Valisinha was a member of this Committee. He also served in the first Board of Management of the Gaya Temple.
Devapriya’s contribution to resolving the Gaya Temple issue should be coupled with another achievement which remains unparalleled. He successfully negotiated with the British Government through the Archaeological Department of India and restored the relics of Sariputta and Moggallana, the two chief disciples of Gautama Buddha, to the Maha Bodhi Society. Previous attempts by various organisations had failed to secure the relics which had been taken to the Albert and Victoria Museum in London. The relics were subsequently exhibited in Kolkata, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Assam, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Nepal, Ladakh, Sikkim, and Tibet leading to a tremendous Buddhist reawakening in India, Sri Lanka and other Buddhist countries. Today, the relics lie in the city of Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh.
This account would not be complete without mention of Devapriya Valisinha’s contribution to the restoration of the Mulagandha Kuty Vihara in Sarnath, the place where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon. Since the laying of the foundation stone in 1922, by Sir Harcourt Butler, Governor of Uttar Pradesh, Devapriya was intensely involved in resolving the many vexed issues of land and architectural plans.
The Vihara was ceremonially opened on November 11, 1931 and was attended by personalities such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Ramananda Chatterjee, Ven’ble N Fuji, Acharya Rama Chandra Shukla and Dr SN Das Gupta. In the same year, an International Buddhist Institute was started.
The opening ceremony of the Vihara was the beginning of a new chapter of Buddhist revival in India. As the news of the opening of the Vihara became widespread people from far and near began to take greater interest in Buddhism. More and more pilgrims started coming to India. The vision of Devapriya was for Sarnath to become not only a centre of worship but also a place which catered to the social upliftment of the people of the area. He, therefore, conceived the idea of a Dispensary and High School. The Maha Bodhi Dispensary gave medicines free of charge. It became a boon to the villagers who had no medical aid at that time. He started the Maha Bodhi Schools and College. The Mahabodhi School which was originally founded with 5 children by Anagarika Dharmapala in 1901 was thereafter closed and was restarted by Devapriya Valisinha in 1928. It became a full fledged functioning school under the tutelage of Brahmachari Devapriya Valisinha during his tenure as the General Secretary of the Maha Bodhi Society. Today the schools and college have around 5000 students and around 120 staff members.
Devapriya Valisinha had for long years been in correspondence with Dr BR Ambedkar. This is borne out by the fact that Dr Ambedkar contributed many articles to the Maha Bodhi journal during this period. In 1956 Dr Ambedkar decided to become a Buddhist and asked his followers to join him. Devapriya attended the mass meeting held in Nagpur with several Bhikkus of the Society and helped in arranging the religious ceremony. He spoke at the occasion and presented to Dr Ambedkar an image of Lord Buddha on behalf of the Mahabodhi Society, where it is recorded that around five lakhs embraced Buddhism.
Devapriya Valisinha also constructed a Buddhist Temple in Delhi, next to the ‘Bhirla Mandir’, with the help of Jugal Kishore Bhirla. He pioneered efforts to translate the Tripitaka into Hindi and for this purporse enlisted the support of the great Sanskrit scholar Rahul Sankrityayana. He also started the "Dharmadoot" Hindi monthly for propagating Buddhism among the Hindi speaking people.
February 10 marks the 107th birth anniversary of Brahmachari Devapriya Valisinha.
This year, as we commemorate the 2600th year of the enlightenment of Gautama Buddha under the Bo tree in Gaya and as both Sri Lanka and India jointly celebrates the 150th birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, it is apt that we remember this illustrious son whom both countries can jointly call her own.

On Global Open Day on UNSCR 1325, Calls for Greater Women Role in Future of post-Daesh Iraq
Baghdad/Erbil, 24 October 2017 – The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), jointly with UNWOMEN within the context of the observing the Global Open Day and the 17th Anniversary of UN Security Council resolution 1325, held consultative forums with senior political leadership in Baghdad and Erbil on 23 and 24 October, with the focus on strengthening women’s political participation.
In both Baghdad and Erbil, the concerns of women, their participation in society, the political process and decision-making were raised. Participants were categorical in stating that there have been long-standing barriers which have continued to impede women’s participation and representation in the political process. Particularly, participants noted a regression in women’s representation in executive, legislative as well as judiciary branches of government. Further, participants decried that leaderships of political parties have not given sufficient opportunities to women to fully and equally participate in politics. Recommendations were proposed, including a specific request made to the political leaders to give women an opportunity to be part of the solution. Participants also called for legislation to promote and increase women’s participation in politics and governance as well as to promote them to decision-making positions.
In Baghdad, the meeting on 23 October was organized in collaboration with the Implementation and Follow-up Commission for National Reconciliation in the Office of the Prime Minister. The meeting was attended by the Minister of Health and Environment, H.E. Adila Hammoud, Adviser to the Prime Minister on reconciliation, Mr. Mohammed Salman, the Speaker of Parliament’s representative Dr. Ahmed Rushdy, Advisor to the President of the Republic, Juan Masoum, heads of political blocs and other government representatives, parliamentary Committee heads, MPs as well as academics, in addition to representatives of UNAMI and UNWOMEN.
H.E. Ms. Adila Hammoud, the Minister of Health and Environment, stated that to overcome social barriers and challenges impeding women’s participation required a concerted effort and commitment from political leaders and decision-makers, noting “the significant successes of many Iraqi women on the executive and legislative levels and their ability to play an essential role in peace making and societal reconciliation.”
Mr. Mohammad Salman of the reconciliation committee, in his opening remarks, said the meeting is a “golden opportunity for all to benefit from the accumulated experiences of peoples” that the UN holds as it works to support women issues.
Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General (SRSG) for Iraq, Mr. Ján Kubiš, emphasized in his remarks at the meetings in Baghdad and Erbil that women in Iraq are agents of positive change and they must be given the opportunity to act in that critical role in shaping the future of their country in the post-Daesh period.
“Equality and empowerment of women must be central to all peace, justice, reconciliation and reform efforts in the post-Daesh period. Women’s participation is crucial for an effective, successful and sustainable peace processes and reform. Only through their direct and meaningful participation their voices will be heard,” Mr. Kubiš said.
The consultative meeting in Erbil was convened on 24 October by UNAMI in collaboration with UN WOMEN and the Kurdistan Regional Government’s High Council for Women Affairs. It was attended by Interior Minister H.E. Mr. Karim Sinjari, Minister of the Department of Foreign Relations H.E. Mr. Falah Al-Mustafa, Secretary-General of the High Council for Women’s Affairs Ms. Pakhshan Zangana, Spokesperson to Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani, Safeen Dizayi, and women leaders, in addition to representatives of UNAMI and UN WOMEN.
In remarks at the Erbil meeting, Ms. Pakshan Zangana, the Secretary-General of the High Council for Women’s Affairs in Kurdistan Region of Iraq, said the recent crisis in Kirkuk have seen displacements of civilians including women, the elderly and children. She urged the UN to strengthen its efforts towards addressing the needs to those displaced.
In Erbil, Mr. Kubiš acknowledged the efforts of the Cross-Sector Task Force on the implementation of the Iraq National Action Plan on 1325. “Regardless of all issues between Baghdad and Erbil, the collaboration of women group representatives from both Baghdad and Erbil has been remarkable. It is a good model of constructive cooperation that should inspire also the process of finding solutions to the current crisis between Baghdad and Erbil. Women must play a key role also in these endeavors.”
The SRSG recalled the particularly brutal treatment of women and girls by Daesh terrorists and pointed out to UN Security Council resolution 2379, passed in September to establish an investigative team to support domestic efforts to hold Daesh accountable.
UN WOMEN Representative in Iraq, Ms. Dina Zorba, in both meetings in Baghdad and Erbil, commended the government, civil society, and national and international partners for continued commitment to UNSCR 1325, stating that Iraq is the first country in the Middle East to launch a national plan to implement 1325. She urged the government to work to ensure gender issues are incorporated in all democratization and nation building agendas, and called on the UN, the government, and the International Community to continue to advocate for and protect the rights of women and girls.

This is a photograph from the 4th Annual Multyfarnham (Multy) 5KM which was held in the village of Multyfarnham about 15KM west of Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 3rd June 2015 at 20:00. An incredible and unprecedented crowd of almost 300 participants took to the route including runners, joggers and walkers which was on an out-and-back course on beautiful country roads. The weather was perfect for racing and running. The fast course combined with the good weather conditions provided personal and seasonal bests for many of the participants. The GAA Club and Community Centre provided car-parking and the race headquarters. Overall this was a very well organised race event which on the evidence of tonight's race can grow even further in future years. As this and other photographs in this set shows there is nothing like an evening race in summer time in rural Ireland. Multyfarnham's setting amongst the rolling hills of north county Westmeath and not far from the shores of Lough Derravaragh provides a wonderful race setting. The village of Multy is easily accessible and is just two miles off the N4 Dublin Sligo road.

Metamorphoses by Merlino Mayo at LEA - Full Sim Project - 1st turn - 2011-2012 Show Open till 15 March 2012.
First of all I want to thank LEA (Linden Endowment for the Arts) and The LEA committee (Bryn Oh, Dancoyote Antonelli, Dekka Raymaker, JayJay Zifanwe, L1 Loire, Sasun Steinbeck, Solo Mornington, Werner Kurosawa, PatriciaAnne Daviau -advisor-) who trusted me and other artists (Artistide Despres, Charlotte Bartlett, comet Morigi, Freewee Ling, Glyph Graves, Harter Fall, Merlino Mayo, Mikati Slade, Misprint Thursday, Oberon Onmura, RAG Randt, Secret Rage, Selavy Oh, Sowa Mai, Ux Hax, Zachh Cale) for the first round LEA Land Grants to give me the opportunity to use a big space as a full sim to express my art.
Taking inspiration from the 1st book and a few of other episodes of the "Metamorphoses", word that from greek means "change of shape", written in latin by Publius Ovidius, this new project aims to build a path of multi levels within an allegorical vision related to the current age of crisis and transformation of human beings and our society.
The way to see the whole work would formally very different but conceptually similar to the fresco dedicated to the "Fall of the Giants" by Giulio Romano in the Palazzo Te in Mantua (Mantova), where the representation becomes a metaphor of the times lived and precarious power and human ambitions; So going on other examples are possible like the trasformations of Aracne, Daphne, Icarus, Heliades sisters, Medusa, ect. The outer and inner change of form and substance of living beings and their natural relationships into something different, new and unexpected, from the creative process naturally with technology through the lens of the symbolism of Myth and the squared glass of Science.
It is very intersting to see the origin of name Palazzo Te: "The famous villa, designed for parties, receptions and "idleness" of the Duke of Mantua, was built on an island in direct contiguity with the city center, known since the Middle Ages Tejeto, or Te. The hypothesis most likely derive from the term 'tilietum' (place of linden trees) or from the Celtic 'tezza' linked with Latin 'atteggia' in english 'attitude', both meaning 'hut'." *from
Obviously the project is not complete about the whole huge Ovid's work, and in start I've done just some main episodes, but my intention is to work on it in future, it will take time for sure. Stay tuned.

Non-motorized boating pilot program comes to an end
LOS ANGELES — When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, granted a license in July for a seven week non-motorized boating pilot program on the Los Angeles River, the Los Angeles Conservation Corps quickly booked the allotted tours.
“It took about 10 minutes for the 280 tickets to sell, once we posted the announcement on line,” said Yasmin Mero-Corona, program coordinator, Los Angeles Conservation Corps. “We had another 300 on a waiting list to fill any no-shows. One gentleman stood by with his check every weekend until we had a cancellation for him to fill,” Mero-Corona added.
The test program allowed for no more than two trips per day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning August 12 and ending September 25. The program was as much about education as it was access, with many of the tours featuring guest speakers, including Corps personnel, talking about the history of the river and plans for its revitalization.
The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority supervised the two-hour canoe and kayak trips covering a 1.5-mile stretch of the river. While most of the trip is a leisurely ride the 'Cattail Shoot' provides a bit of excitement as the staff helps participants and their vessels through a narrow, shallow shoot and one portage point, 'Rocky Rapids,' that requires boaters to exit their crafts and navigate the rocks on foot.
“A mentor of mine when I was a biologist at New York District was fond of saying, touch the resource. That's what accessing the river is to so many urban dwellers in Los Angeles,” said Josephine Axt, Chief, Planning Division, Los Angeles District, during her tour September 16.
“Even though there are nearby mountains where people can enjoy the outdoors, their day to day experience doesn't usually encourage or encompass much of a non-urban environment. Accessing the river is symbolic of a shared vision many LA residents have of the city embracing a more sustainable future,” added Axt.
For many boaters these trips represented their first access to the river and their enthusiasm was not tied to their skill level.
“The participants were nervous at first because for many adults, this was the first time on a canoe or kayak,” said Supervising Ranger III, Fernando Gomez. “However, at the end of the trip, they wanted more and some even said they were going to go out and buy a kayak to continue their experience, not on the LA River of course. For the skilled kayakers, they walked away with the surprise of how beautiful and calming the trip was,” Gomez added.
The Corps is an active partner in revitalizing and preserving the Los Angeles River, however, an important primary mission remains.
“I must be clear, nothing we do can jeopardize human safety or reduce the flood carrying capacity of this river,” said Col. Mark Toy, Los Angeles District Commander, during his opening remarks for the inaugural tour Aug. 8.
Now that the non-motorized boating pilot program has ended, no boating is authorized on the Los Angeles River. The river can, very quickly, become extremely dangerous, especially during the general winter storm season.
The Corps will review trip reports and lessons learned from staff and participants. Working with the stakeholders the Corps will carefully consider all options for boating on the Los Angeles River in future years.

An Old London Bus led a procession of strikers to the Birmingham University Hospital where an impromptu rally was held with PCS, UNITE and UCU capturing both local and national media. This was then followed by an indoor rally addressed by speakers of all three unions.
Hospital Staff, College Lectures & Civil Servants (including Job Centres, Tax officers and Immigration Control Staff) took strike action today on May 10th.
Hospitals, Colleges, and all Government Departments could be closed this week as a result of industrial action on Thursday 10 May 2012.
The action will include PCS, Unite, and UCU unions who are taking action against the government’s decision to increase pension contributions and force their members to work longer before they can retire. PCS is also taking the action against pay freezes and jobs reductions.
The increased pension contributions have already taken place for some, these contributions could mean that these workers wages are reduced by as much as £125.00 a month.
Joe Rooney of the UCU said, “My members are incensed by these deductions, this is not because our scheme is in deficit in anyway, the money is being used to pay for debt that they did not create.”
Union members held demonstrations outside of Hospitals across the Midlands, the biggest of these will be held outside the University Hospital of Birmingham and the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham.
Robert Shaw an Official for Hospital workers from Unite the union commented, “Forcing members to work longer to get their pensions is not just unfair, it is plain wrong, and many get the feeling that this government will continue to move the ‘goalposts’ with the age of retirement if they are not challenged.”
This action follows the 30 November strike last year which saw millions of union members take action. Whilst some unions are not taking action this time, they could well join in future action planned for this Summer as their members have rejected the government’s slightly improved offer, and this includes UNISON, the largest public sector union.
Andrew Lloyd, Vice Chair of the Midlands TUC, stated, “The issue of Public sector pensions has not gone away for this government. The strike action on Thursday is living proof of that. We may well see more unions join in action over the Summer. It is not fair to make low paid workers pay more, work longer and get less at the end.”
It has been leaked to PCS that at Airports in the Midlands, to avoid any further bad news stories over waiting times for passengers at passport checking, those not taking the action will be focused purely on supporting passport control at the cost of no checks for Freight.

Presidio of Monterey, Calif.--Commanders Col. Greg Ford, Presidio of Monterey, and Col. Gary Hausman, Defense Language Institute, welcomed more than 60 community members in a wreath-laying ceremony at the POM cemetery as part of Wreaths Across America Day, December 15.
Volunteers were encouraged to read the names on each grave marker as a way of remembering and honoring the sacrifice of each of the fallen.
Recognizing the many youths who came anxious to show honor to the nearly 400 gravesites, Col. Ford commented, “Our future is here as well as our past.”
Parents took this opportunity in hushed and somber tones to express the solemnity of the event to those too young to appreciate the occasion.
National Wreaths Across America Day, held in December each year, is seen as an opportunity to ‘remember, honor and teach’. Their mission is coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies for veterans at more than 1,400 locations in all 50 U.S. states, at sea and abroad.

merlinomayo.wordpress.com/2012/02/28/metamorphoses/
Metamorphoses by Merlino Mayo at LEA - Full Sim Project - 1st turn - 2011-2012 Show Open till 15 March 2012.
First of all I want to thank LEA (Linden Endowment for the Arts) and The LEA committee (Bryn Oh, Dancoyote Antonelli, Dekka Raymaker, JayJay Zifanwe, L1 Loire, Sasun Steinbeck, Solo Mornington, Werner Kurosawa, PatriciaAnne Daviau -advisor-) who trusted me and other artists (Artistide Despres, Charlotte Bartlett, comet Morigi, Freewee Ling, Glyph Graves, Harter Fall, Merlino Mayo, Mikati Slade, Misprint Thursday, Oberon Onmura, RAG Randt, Secret Rage, Selavy Oh, Sowa Mai, Ux Hax, Zachh Cale) for the first round LEA Land Grants to give me the opportunity to use a big space as a full sim to express my art.
Taking inspiration from the 1st book and a few of other episodes of the "Metamorphoses", word that from greek means "change of shape", written in latin by Publius Ovidius, this new project aims to build a path of multi levels within an allegorical vision related to the current age of crisis and transformation of human beings and our society.
The way to see the whole work would formally very different but conceptually similar to the fresco dedicated to the "Fall of the Giants" by Giulio Romano in the Palazzo Te in Mantua (Mantova), where the representation becomes a metaphor of the times lived and precarious power and human ambitions; So going on other examples are possible like the trasformations of Aracne, Daphne, Icarus, Heliades sisters, Medusa, ect. The outer and inner change of form and substance of living beings and their natural relationships into something different, new and unexpected, from the creative process naturally with technology through the lens of the symbolism of Myth and the squared glass of Science.
It is very intersting to see the origin of name Palazzo Te: "The famous villa, designed for parties, receptions and "idleness" of the Duke of Mantua, was built on an island in direct contiguity with the city center, known since the Middle Ages Tejeto, or Te. The hypothesis most likely derive from the term 'tilietum' (place of linden trees) or from the Celtic 'tezza' linked with Latin 'atteggia' in english 'attitude', both meaning 'hut'." *from
Obviously the project is not complete about the whole huge Ovid's work, and in start I've done just some main episodes, but my intention is to work on it in future, it will take time for sure. Stay tuned.

Eugene Kuisis and I were at primary school together in Pretoria, South Africa, and I last saw him at 53 Battalion HQ at Ondangwa, Namibia in about May 1980. Although we went to different schools, Kim Fischer and I moved in the same circles in high school, and shared some interesting adventures in the late-70's and early-80's. I last saw him in about 1985. Eugene shoots muzzle loaders and is the defending Long Range World Champion, in the replica class. He and the world champion South African team are in the UK to defend their titles at the "MLAIC 2011 8th World Long Range Championship" in Bisley between September 12 and 18, 2011. Kim lives just around the corner from the place and gave me a call to join him and Eugene at the Hunter's Lodge pub in Woking. We spent a good few hours catching up on the afternoon of September 11, 2011, and I look forward to more of the same in future.

This is a photograph from the finish of the 4th Annual Multyfarnham (Multy) 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in the village of Multyfarnham about 15KM west of Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 3rd June 2015 at 20:00. An incredible and unprecedented crowd of almost 300 participants took to the route including runners, joggers and walkers which was on an out-and-back course on beautiful country roads. The weather was perfect for racing and running. The fast course combined with the good weather conditions provided personal and seasonal bests for many of the participants. The GAA Club and Community Centre provided car-parking and the race headquarters. Overall this was a very well organised race event which on the evidence of tonight's race can grow even further in future years. As this and other photographs in this set shows there is nothing like an evening race in summer time in rural Ireland. Multyfarnham's setting amongst the rolling hills of north county Westmeath and not far from the shores of Lough Derravaragh provides a wonderful race setting. The village of Multy is easily accessible and is just two miles off the N4 Dublin Sligo road.
We have an extensive set of photographs from tonight in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157653957377992

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

Bramalea Road northbound at Father Tobin Road. This is a fairly typical occurrence where the placement of a bus shelter puts pedestrians and cyclists in potential conflict. More thought should be given in future to the placement of shelters. When placement such as this is unavoidable then signs should be posted warning pedestrians and cyclists that the pathway is shared. Included in this set of images is a such a sign posted on a bridge and signs posted on the multi-use paths in front of Brampton Civic.

本次展覽為非常廟藝文空間(以下簡稱VT)與德國藝術公寓(Apartment Of Art)三年計劃之一。兩年前VT與德國藝術公寓總監-拉斯科樸索(Lars Koepsel)為推廣台灣及德國兩地藝術家與藝術空間之間的交流，締訂為期三年合作計畫。兩地空間每年交換合作藝術家展覽、策展人、藝術家駐村等三階段合作方式。本次展覽檔期為計畫中的第二年，由德國藝術公寓總監-拉斯科樸索推薦新媒體藝術團隊「M+M」首度來台展出。
德國「M+M」為Marc Weis 和 Martin De Mattia 兩人所組成的新媒體科技藝術團隊，M+M多年來持續於國際間進行展演計畫。過去重要展覽節錄：1999年在義大利羅馬的Villa Massimo進行為期一年的駐村計畫，同年於威尼斯雙年展「義大利國家館」展出。2003年於ZKM卡爾斯魯厄藝術與媒體中心展出，2006年參加Lintz科技藝術節以及2015於盧森堡casino個展。
「M+M」兩位藝術家長期關注媒體中所產生的語彙，並分析影像媒體之間的運作，結合大眾社會對於影像媒體的交互機制，透過電影中畫面擷取並使用非線性的敘事方式，將虛構與現實的影像內容混合處理，作品內容帶有強烈情感，如恐懼、仇恨、愛情等，並透過虛實間的差異成為新的敘事方式。
本次將於VT展出系列作品「7 Tage」中兩件新作《Dienstag (Tuesday)》&《Freitag (Friday》，兩位藝術家挑選兩部經典電影-理髮師的男人(The hairdresser’s husband)與黑影(Tenebre)作為本次創作素材，作品影像中運用電影畫面對應一週的七天，並運用電影裡擷取部分畫面拼湊成每一天的生活景象，兩位藝術家各自將自行剪輯的影像運用雙投影同步裝置將兩影像並置，在大多數情況下，觀者將會看到這兩位藝術家都不約而同的就其類似情感內容做出對應畫面，細膩的處理家庭、人際關係以及生活中不確定性及矛盾狀態，擺盪在兩個非線性影像原件和翻拍之間的矛盾對抗。展覽中另外一件作品《kurz vor fünf (shortly before five)》則是將自2001年以來「7 Tage」系列中出現的電影場景運用電腦運算重新將影格輸出成290幀於平面畫面中，透過影像運算將3分多鐘影像畫面獨立，觀眾將可以發現運算過後的場景照片故事都在同一天的同一時間地點，透過運算影像畫面將可以看到不同的時間影像畫面聚落成同一影像，讓觀者重新於平面畫面重新審視影像中孤獨個體的趣味。
「7 Tage」系列作品自2009年來，逐段完成每段錄像影片，並於2015年發表了最新兩部新作《Dienstag (Tuesday)》&《Freitag (Friday》。本系列影像之中，除了相同的其他演員重複出現外，來自奧地利的演員Christoph Luser以精湛的演技表現出憂鬱詭譎的情緒變化，而體現了主角矛盾的異型建構的心理，投射非常輕微情緒以及揭示了人際關係中裂縫和固有的矛盾變化，無論是任何威脅與衝突的情緒反應，將在看似平靜的畫面帶來暗潮洶湧般的相互作用。

The program is aim to promote the exchange in artist and art space between Taiwan and German. Each space will corporate in 3 stages every year, from exchanging the artist exhibition, curator to artist residency program. This exhibition is now in the 2nd-year. It was the director of Apartment of Art -Lars Koepsel, who recommended to exhibit the new media art group, named ”M+M” as their very first show in Taiwan.
Marc Weis and Martin De Mattia are a digital artists group named “M+M”, which use the new media in their project, from German. M+M has various international exhibition experience , which includes: the one-year residency program in Villa Massimo, Rome, Italy, back in 1999 and exhibited their work in Venice Biennale in the same year. They have also exhibited at ZKM in 2003 and participated the Ars Electronica Lintz in 2006. Their latest exhibition was at Casino, Luxembourg.
“M+M” have been focusing on the vocabulary produced from the media work, and analyze the operation between image media. They combined the public social consume system, and use non-way to describe things. They used film making skills such as camera movements and cuts to mix-up the fictional and the realistic image content. And also find out the new way to describe things through the difference between the fiction and reality.
”M+M” will be exhibit their new works in “7 Tage” (7 Days)series, which are 《Dienstag (Tuesday)》and《Freitag (Friday) 》. The artists picked two classic movie, includes《The hairdresser’s husband》and《Tenebre》as the elements. They named their works as“7 Tage” (7 Days), and make the image in their works able to correspond in 7 days a week. They have also excerpt some of the classic scenes from the epic movie as the everyday life in their works. From the artists remakes, cuts and the main actor’s view and mind changing from time to time; audience will get the new visual experience to re-conduct with the double projection device. The viewer will also find out the against between two non-linear original videos and conversion with the double channel device. And the other works named《kurz vor fünf (shortly before five)》in this exhibition have combined the movie scene and the computer operations and re-export the file fragmentation into 290 as a 2D picture. With the computer operations, they separated every scene in three minutes, which audience will find out the picture and the story are all at the same place and the same time in everyday. By gathering the video scene into on image, the viewers will discover the fun part in the isolation.
They have been shooting the ”7 Tage” series works for 7 years from 2009, and have also released the latest new works in recent, named 《Dienstag (Tuesday)》&《Freitag (Friday). The audience will get to see some of the actors repeatedly and the actor from Austria -Christoph Luse’s excellent performance skill, which he interpreted and showed the sad and odd emotional changes to incarnate the main character’s inconsistent mind structure. Whether is any threat or conflict emotion response, will all brings the audience the unexpected plot.
This exhibition will start from 22nd August to 19th September , and will be held an artist symposium on 15th August at Shih Chien University.

Part Three of an eight-part series about matters
involving Cllr Charles Adje. To view all eight in sequence, please click here.
◄ Back to Part Two ║ Forward to Part Four ►
Following publication, on 24 September 2008, of the Summary Report by The Standards Board for England, the public and his fellow councillors learned a little more about how Haringey councillor Charles Adje approached his vital tasks as "Cabinet" member for Resources. When he held this brief, Cllr Adje's responsibilities included the Council's Finances and Property - in other words the public's cash and the public's land.
My thanks to everyone who contacted me and suggested extra questions. I added some of these to my previous post; and will add further questions and comments in future posts.
Detail: Central panel of the triptych, the artist's general concept for PROCRUSTES INN REGISTER
1992-1997
Wood, graphite, colored pencil, acrylic, modeling paste
One element of the PROCRUSTES TRILOGY:
Procrustes In Situ
Oratorio--variation on a Theme by Joseph Bor
Martyrs of the Cities of the Plain
Below is a transcription of the artist's words above:
Procrustes Inn Register
Language: Words symbols signs
Anti-book: That used to illustrate drawings–endless flow of rhetorical questions—earless. Embossing to distort text in order to enhance and refine four-torso relief through stretched fabric of colored print into a chiaro-scurro texture of sculptural definition. Written text to extend across 70" x 6" of alloted space to be broken later into seven 10" x 6" sections. Color of print to run from red to the fourth plate to be a true purple. Pagination to follow rotational sequence of four torso relief rather than a readable sequence of text. Words to exist merely as decoration for the visual language of sign and symbol....illustrations...illuminations. Rhetoric and word meanings to relate directly to color sequence and depth of the embossed relief...greatest emotional content to occur in the triangular plates 3, 4 and 5. Intensity of words and phrases to be most strong through the middle 4" of text running the entire span of verbal texture—red to blue to become explosive through the 3rd, 4th and 5th plates. Violent cutting, castrating words—inn words. Procrustean: nigger faggot cunt kike greaser slant—spelling, phrasing, grammar, etc. Mutterings and curses...actualization of symbol without intellectual control or restraint....without audience.
Monologues: Addition of two monologues—one at the beginning and one at the end. The voice of the traveler and the voice of the guest. Contained, controlled and directed...as articulate as possible and structured to function as prologue and epilogue for the dramatization that takes place throughout the seven plates. However, this relationship will exist in form only—meaning that the voice in the first monologue is not necessarily the voice in the second transformed through the mitigating pressures within the “whispered” tirade of the text. I know that not every traveler succumbs to the wiles and warfare of Procrustes—some few never enter the inn—never.
Translation of P.I.R. into Procrustes In Situ required a repagination of imagery: The controlled pagination from left to right is thrown open into a free-association of three dimensional sequences. Experimentation with sequential control presents a fascinating invitation to pursue further study of this sort of directed control in future work...the eye seems to seek out the center of the image and read peripherally. Sequencing begins sometime during this initial acclimation in search of comprehension. Once the directional choice occurs, peripheral vision gives way to a selected focussing as the mind directs the journey of the eye following the eye’s initial intuitive response to presented stimuli. Once the mind is engaged, sequencing may or may not become didactic or manipulative depending on the motives and intentions of the creator. The demands upon spatial pagination to sustain sequential movement would be far more complex than those linearly connected through time (music, literature, speech, etc.). Intriguing!
-------------
The PREPARATORY STUDY FOR PROCRUSTES INN REGISTER and for PROCRUSTES IN SITU consists of a triptych of 4’ wide wall panels. The first panel, that on the left, is the preparatory study for each of the seven pages of PROCRUSTES INN REGISTER, writing concerning the structure and the metaphors to be included in the work, and a record of its being created both by the artist and by Brighten Press.
The middle panel is the preparatory study for the sculpture then to be realized in PROCRUSTES IN SITU with a brief statement about each of the “seven beds” within the Inn of Procrustes, that of the father, the young man, fear, tradition, the young woman, the child and the mother.
On the third panel, that on the right, are the preparatory drawings for the tablets which lean against the pedestal of each of the seven beds in PROCRUSTES IN SITU as well as the dialogues between the occupants of the beds and a particular manifestation of Procrustes, and an explanation of these dialogues.
At the bottom of each panel are brief entries by the artist as if in his own diary, personal thoughts and a record of actual events relating directly to the general concept of the restrictive and debilitating power of Procrustes. Within these entries at the bottom of each panel appear three fragments of the running monologue/diatribe of Procrustes that is embossed into the surface of each of the plates of the turning torsos seen at the top of each of the seven pages of PROCRUSTES INN REGISTER, a monologue/diatribe that reads from left to right across all seven of these plates/pages and is as beautiful as it is violent.
Beneath the three panels is the study for the embossing plates which were used in the printing process of Procrustes Inn Register and that appear on the pedestals of each of the seven “beds” of Procrustes In Situ. This “Predella” consists of four torsos in a seven times repeating configuration of male, male, female, female and in which each torso makes a quarter turn, the first figure counter-clockwise, the second clockwise, etcetera, from left to right the entire length of the study. These torsos begin in a relatively shallow relief at the left and emerge ever higher until the fourth repeat after which the torsos again recede into a shallower relief. The embossing of the pages of Procrustes Inn Register reflects this swelling so that at the apex on the fourth page the paper was stretched almost to its capacity.
