Maintained by the National Park Service, Kingsley Plantation on Fort George Island is home to Florida’s oldest surviving plantation house. The plantation house was built in 1798, and is surrounded by other later buildings, including 23 remaining cabins for the enslaved. As with most plantations in the 18th century, the house faces the Fort George river, rather than the rest of the plantation, because transportation by ship or boat was the easiest way to get crops to market or to bring in supplies.
The story of Kingsley Plantation dates back to the Kingdom of Great Britain’s 18th-century occupation of Florida. One of several plantations established in the region during this period, the island was ceded to Richard Hazard in 1765 for cultivating indigo. After Great Britain transferred Florida back to Spain in 1783, the Spanish government granted the island to South Carolinian John “Lighting” McQueen. McQueen developed a plantation with 300 enslaved Africans in 1793 but soon found himself in bankruptcy, turning the property over to Georgia’s John McIntosh in 1804. To escape punishment from the Spanish for leading an unsuccessful rebellion to annex Florida into the United States, McIntosh fled back to Georgia, leasing the property to Zephaniah Kingsley Jr. in 1814; Kingsley then acquired it in 1817.
Born in England in 1765, Kingsley was raised in Charleston and grew up to become a successful shipping merchant and slave trader. Considered “one of Florida’s most flamboyant slaveholders”, Kingsley purchased and married Anna Madgigine Jai, a Wolof girl from present day Senegal in 1806. He eventually grew to depend on Anna to run his plantations in his absence. After taking over McIntosh’s land at Fort George Island, they managed 60 enslaved under a task system to produce indigo, sea island cotton, okra, oranges and other vegetables at the 1,000 acre property. Sold after Kingsley’s death, the Kingsley Plantation was briefly controlled by the Freedmen’s Bureau and was under private ownership until being acquired by the State of Florida in 1955. With many of its structures still surviving on the isolated sea island, the property was acquired by the National Park Service, becoming a part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve in 1991.

A random snapshot of some of Canadian National Railway's maintenance of way equipment that was tied down on the former Mississippi Central Railroad main line, now a long yard spur track within the Material Yard in Brookhaven, Mississippi on Thursday, November 21, 2013.
This machine is a ballast rock sweeper and it is also a spreader, and this machine looks like it has two rotating brushes.

Most Canadians support 'Occupy' protests, poll finds
"The Occupy Wall Street movement that has spread throughout the U.S. and Canada has the support of most of the Canadians who are aware of it, a new poll has found."
"The Nanos poll conducted for The Globe and Mail and La Presse finds that seven out of 10 Canadians have heard of the demonstrations."
Those unaware of the Occupy protests were found to be as equally clueless to those who object to the Occupy protests.

Occupy Victoria (The Peoples' Assembly of Victoria)
Inspired by the rapidly growing Occupy Together (occupytogether.org/) movement across the US and Canada that has sprung up in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street people’s assembly. Victoria is joining the October 15 movement for global change (15october.net/).
This is becoming more than a protest about the failure of global capitalism - rather, this a moment where people all around the world are coming together and beginning to globalize democracy.
This is our time to come together and create a genuine people’s assembly of Vancouver Island in the spirit of true participatory democracy. Direct democracy comes from the people living in the communities in which decisions are made. Real democracy means being mutually respectful of all the diverse voices that join the conversation. Radical democracy is 'from the grassroots' or from the ground up. It is non-violent, and committed to mutual aid and collective decision-making.

Maintaining an edge is one thing, but letting our edge in innovation dull has repercussions for the amount of food we can produce, the quality of life we live, and the potential for the next thing that will change the world. Are we keeping pace? Is Are the private sector, government, and the academy disrupting enough to innovate more or is there a stagnation that threatens continued development? Are certain parts of the world innovating better than other parts, who are the major catalyzers, and where does the intersection of technology and biology come into play?

Rievaulx Abbey was a Cistercian abbey in Rievaulx, situated near Helmsley in the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire, England. It was one of the great abbeys in England until it was seized under Henry VIII of England in 1538 during the dissolution of the monasteries. The striking ruins of its main buildings are a tourist attraction, owned and maintained by English Heritage.
Foundation
Rievaulx Abbey was the first Cistercian monastery in the north of England, founded in 1132 by twelve monks from Clairvaux Abbey.
Its remote location was well suited to the order's ideal of a strict life of prayer and self-sufficiency with little contact with the outside world. The abbey's patron, Walter Espec, also founded another Cistercian community, that of Wardon Abbey in Bedfordshire, on unprofitable wasteland on one of his inherited estates.
The first abbot of Rievaulx, St William I, started construction in the 1130s. The second abbot, Saint Aelred of Rievaulx, elected in 1147, expanded the buildings and otherwise consolidated the existence of what with time became one of the great Cistercian abbeys of Yorkshire, second only to Fountains Abbey in fame. Under Aelred, the abbey is said to have grown to some 140 monks and 500 lay brothers. By the end of his tenure, Rievaulx had five daughter-houses in England and Scotland.
The abbey lies in a wooded dale by the River Rye, sheltered by hills. The monks diverted part of the river several yards to the west in order to have enough flat land to build on. They altered the river's course twice more during the 12th century. The old course is visible in the abbey's grounds. This is an illustration of the technical ingenuity of the monks, who over time built up a profitable business mining lead and iron, rearing sheep and selling wool to buyers from all over Europe. Rievaulx Abbey became one of the greatest and wealthiest in England, with 140 monks and many more lay brothers. It received grants of land totalling 6,000 acres (24 km²) and established daughter houses in England and Scotland.
By the end of the 13th century the abbey had incurred debts on its building projects and lost revenue due to an epidemic of sheep scab (psoroptic mange). The ill fortune was compounded by raiders from Scotland in the early 14th century. The great reduction in population caused by the Black Death in the mid-14th century made it difficult to recruit new lay brothers for manual labour. As a result, the abbey was forced to lease much of its land. By 1381 there were only fourteen choir monks, three lay brothers and the abbot left at Rievaulx, and some buildings were reduced in size.
By the 15th century the Cistercian practices of strict observance according to the Rule of Saint Benedict had been abandoned in favour of a more comfortable lifestyle. The monks were permitted to eat meat, and more private living accommodation was created for them, and the abbot had a substantial private household in what had once been the infirmary.
At the time of its dissolution in 1538, the abbey was said to consist of 72 buildings occupied by the abbot and 21 monks, with 102 lay employees, and an income of £351 a year. The abbey owned a prototype blast furnace at Laskill, producing cast iron as efficiently as a modern blast furnace.
As was standard procedure, the confiscated monastic buildings were rendered uninhabitable and stripped of valuables such as lead. The site was granted to the Earl of Rutland, one of Henry's advisers, until it passed to the Duncombe family. In the 1750s Thomas Duncombe III beautified his estate by building the terrace with two Grecian-style temples. They are in the care of the National Trust. The abbey ruins are in the care of English Heritage.

Sorry to have been maintaining radio silence....... but I have been battling the elements and battling Christmas shoppers...... Its been mega snow in the UK in the last couple of days......... jamming Heathrow and other airports.......... I only just slid in hours before the snow on Friday and the White-out of Saturday.
Today Sunday...... I drove up to my folks place in the Warwickshire Countryside........ massive traffic problems on the M40 and elsewhere....... so I ended up taking the M1....... but even on the M1..... problems .......... by the time I got to junction 11 it was a solid jam ........ I sat for an hour...... but was so bored with it....... I couldn't take it anymore ......... so I decided to go off piste........ tootling about in a rear wheel drive car on small totally uncleared and un-gritted roads........ er....... lets face it....... bit unwise......... but kind of fun......... and kind of madly hassley and stressy.......... after a whole ton of drama and about an hour of sliding up and down all most impassable roads I was finally able to rejoin the M1 at the next junction......... only to find myself back in the jam right next to the vehicle I had been next to before opting for all that totally unnecessary drama........ hehehe.......... thats got to be a repeating theme in my life......... :-))
I did feel......... I really should concentrate on the driving......... so I did not shoot any of that snow blocked roads drama..........
When I finally arrived at my folks this evening the light was fading.......... I was looking from their garden across the snow covered fields......... just for a couple of minutes as i shot this........ I could see some sheep pushed up into the hedges........ it might be as cold as minus 14 out there tonight....... OK things get bad .......... on occasion things don't go right ............ and hey....... just sometimes you make a bad call :-) ...... but you know what.......... You only have to consider the life of a sheep out on a minus 14 night...... just in passing .......... to think ...... hey........... It might have been a vaguely frustrating day......... but I haven't got it so bad............ in fact thats what I thought as I headed into the warmth of my Mum and Dad's place for a nice cup of tea with my family ......... :-))
Cheers Jez XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
