The fortress of Terezín was constructed between the years 1780 and 1790 by the orders of the Austrian emperor Joseph II in the north-west region of Bohemia. It was designed to be a component of a projected but never fully realized fort system of the monarchy, another piece being the fort of Josefov. Terezín took its name from the mother of the emperor, Maria Theresa of Austria who reigned as empress of Austria in her own right from 1740–1780. By the end of the 18th century, the facility was obsolete as a fort; in the 19th century, the fort was used to accommodate military and political prisoners.
From 1914 till 1918 it housed one of its most famous prisoners: Gavrilo Princip. Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife on June 28, 1914, which led to the outbreak of the First World War. Princip died in cell number 1 from tuberculosis on April 28, 1918.
On June 10, 1940, the Gestapo took control of Terezín and set up the prison in the Small Fortress (kleine Festung), see below. By November 24, 1941, the Main Fortress (große Festung, i.e. the walled town of Theresienstadt) was turned into a ghetto. To outsiders, it was presented by the Nazis as a model Jewish settlement, but in reality it was a concentration camp 'where over 33 000 inmates died as a result of hunger, sickness, or the sadistic treatment meted out by their captors'. Theresienstadt was also used as a transit camp for European Jews en route to Auschwitz. 'Although some survivors claim the population reached 75,000, official records place the highest figure on September 18, 1942, at 58,491 in Kasernes (barracks) designed to accommodate 7000 combat troups.

Here is what I'm referring to as my "minimalist MOC". This is White Squad & Blue Squads receiving the orders for their mission on Ord Mantell. You can see the comic cell inspiration in the link below.
Reference can be found here:
The brightness of the total eclipse varies over 5 orders of magnitude, from bright, hot pink solar prominences to the outer corona. This is a 1/8000 exposure showing the prominences; the corona is only hinted at by the difference between the true black of the lunar disk and the off-black of the surrounding sky.
We reserved a room in Plattsburgh, NY about a year ago (Vermont was already fully booked, but Plattsburgh had plenty of rooms and no bump in prices yet). The morning of the eclipse dawned clear, but clouds were predicted to gather by afternoon, so we chased blue skies about 3 hours northeast to the southern outskirts of Sherbrooke, QC and had perfect weather. (Fortunately, I had insisted to my husband that we bring passports.) The Canadian customs website said there was a 40-minute wait at the entry station on the freeway, so we nipped over to the side road a few miles east and had the port of entry all to ourselves.
The total eclipse was … hard to describe, but all it’s cracked up to be — a striking spectacle. The inner corona was much brighter than I expected, blazing to the naked eye in sharp contrast to the suddenly black sun within.
Stagecoach orders something new
Stagecoach has placed the first order for Alexander Dennis’s next-generation battery-electric buses, taking 55 Enviro400EV double deckers for its operation in Oxfordshire as part of the UK Government’s ZEBRA scheme.
Stagecoach is working with Oxfordshire County Council to decarbonise buses in and around Oxford thanks to funding from the UK Department for Transport as part of the Government’s Zero-Emission Bus Regional Areas (ZEBRA) scheme.
It will introduce 55 electric Enviro400EV on its Oxford city and Oxfordshire networks from late 2023, becoming the first customer to place a firm order for the new battery-electric double decker fully designed and built by Alexander Dennis.
Part of the next generation of Alexander Dennis zero-emission buses, the Enviro400EV is a battery-electric double decker to move large numbers of people on busy urban corridors and interurban expresses with an operational range of up to 260 miles on a single charge. Passengers will benefit from smooth rides and an improved lower deck seating layout.
The Enviro400EV uses a Voith Electrical Drive System next-generation electric driveline as well as the future-proof Alexander Dennis battery system, which ensures continuity of supply throughout vehicle life and will allow Stagecoach to benefit from technology advancements at a mid-life refresh without the need for vehicle modifications.
Stagecoach will therefore become the first operator of the new design of the Enviro 400EVs, complimenting the many of the diesel version of the Enviro 400 such as 10927 (SN67XAV) seen here. It will also cement a partnership with Alexander Dennis going back to the earliest days of Stagecoach as a bus operator.

Kolomenskoye (Russian: Коло́менское) is a former royal estate situated several miles to the south-east of Moscow downtown, on the ancient road leading to the town of Kolomna (hence the name). The scenic area which overlooks the steep banks of the Moskva River became a part of Moscow in the 1960s.
The White Column of Kolomenskoye
Kolomenskoye village was first mentioned in the testament of Ivan Kalita (1339). As the time went by, the village was developed as a favourite country estate of grand princes of Muscovy. The earliest extant structure is the exceptional Ascension church (1532), built in white stone to commemorate the long-awaited birth of an heir to the throne, the future Ivan the Terrible. Being the first stone church of tent-like variety, the uncanonical "White Column" (as it is sometimes referred to) marked a stunning rupture with the Byzantine tradition.
The church stands up toward the sky from a low cross-shaped podklet (ground floor), then follows a prolonged chetverik (octagonal body) of the church, and then an octagonal tent, crowned by a tiny dome. The narrow pilasters on the sides of the chetverik, the arrow-shaped window frames, the three tiers of the kokoshniks and the quiet rhythm of stair arcades and open galleries underline the dynamic tendency of this masterpiece of the Russian architecture. The whole vertical composition is believed to have been borrowed from hipped roof-style wooden churches of the Russian North. Recognizing its outstanding value for humanity, UNESCO decided to inscribe the church on the World Heritage List in 1994.
The great palace and other structures
On the other side of the ravine from Kolomenskoye may be seen the five-tented Church of St John the Baptist, tentatively dated to 1547. Actually, the church's origin is enshrouded in mystery. Some say the masters were Italians, others assign it to Postnik Yakovlev, reputedly the author of Saint Basil's Cathedral on the Red Square. Whatever the truth may be, it is clear that the church represents a transitional stage between the Ascension church, described above, and the famous 8-tented cathedral on the Red Square.
Tsar Alexis I of Russia had all the previous wooden structures in Kolomenskoye demolished and replaced them with a new great wooden palace, famed for its fanciful, fairy-tale roofs. The foreigners referred to this huge maze of intricate corridors and 250 rooms, built without using saws, nails, or hooks, as 'an eighth wonder of the world'. The future Empress Elizabeth Petrovna was born in the palace in 1709. Upon departure of the court for St Petersburg, the palace got dilapidated, so that Catherine II refused to make it her Moscow residence. On her orders the palace was demolished in 1768. Fortunately a wooden model of the palace survives, and the Moscow Government has begun its full-scale reconstruction.
Remaining vestiges of the palace complex include the five-domed Kazanskaya church (1662), of rather conventional architecture, and the wooden and stone gates of the former palace.
During the Soviet years, old wooden buildings were transported to Kolomenskoye from the Far North (the barbican church of the Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery), Siberia (the Bratsk Stockade Tower), and other areas (loghouses, windmills, a Dvina stone, etc). Some of these structures date back to the 17th century.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was built under the orders of Mumadona Dias in the 10th century to defend the monastery from attacks by Moors and Norsemen. The castle is a military fortification grounded primarily in the late Romanesque period, and elaborated during the early Gothic epoch of Portuguese architecture. Its area is delineated by walls forming a pentagram, similar to a shield, that includes eight rectangular towers, military square and central keep. Originating in the foundations of a Roman structure, from the writings of Alfredo Guimarães, it was later elaborated on the French model, in its current the form of a shield, with reduced central yard and difficult accesses. It includes several Gothic characteristics, owing to its remodelling at the end of the 13th century, when the keep and residences were constructed (possibly over pre-existing structures).

One of the oldest trams in the Antwerp fleet belongs to the PCC series built between 1960 and 1975. At the time, this entire series was divided over 5 orders with the firm La Brugeoise et Nivelles (BN) in Bruges and ACEC in Charleroi. This 7137 is part of the fifth and last series ordered in 1972, 40 PCCs (2126-2165, later renumbered 7126-7165). These arrived in Antwerp in 1974-1975.
In service here on tram line 11 almost crossing the Frankrijklei towards Berchem Station. At the time of writing, almost only non-connected PCC sets are in service on this tram line.
Antwerpen Trams
The Antwerp tramway network (Dutch: het Antwerpse tramnet) is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Antwerp, a city in the Flemish region of Belgium. The network is operated by the Flemish region's transportation company De Lijn. As of 2015, it featured thirteen lines, seven of which pass partially underground (known as Antwerp Pre-metro).
Antwerp tram system features segment of different characteristics, from following along with street traffic to underground tunnels, which do not differ much from subway rail setup — 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) track gauge, 600 volts catenary power feed.
In August 2012, De Lijn ordered a fleet of Flexity 2 trams from Bombardier, including 28 for Antwerp. These would replace many of the older PCC trams, and displace Hermelijn trams onto other routes.

There is a controversial new building, which is having a significant impact on the view in Hastings Country Park, which is a recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Yesterday we were due to have a display by a Hurricane, Spitfire and the last remaining Lancaster bomber, but the Lancaster and Hurricane couldn't make it. The captain of the Lancaster had been given some special orders by a large group of people in Hastings. So as not to let them down, he sent his pal in his Vulcan to carry out those orders - HSS!

Gloucester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity, in Gloucester, England, stands in the north of the city near the River Severn. It originated in 678 or 679 with the foundation of an abbey dedicated to Saint Peter.
At the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, the monastery was not thriving and in 1072 King William I appointed Serlo, a monk from Mont St Michel in Normandy to be its Abbot. An energetic, charismatic and devout man, Serlo built up the wealth of the monastery to the point where in 1089 he was able to start building the magnificent abbey church which so impresses the visitor today.
A wealthy and powerful institution with extensive landholdings in Gloucestershire and South Wales, the Abbey of St Peter (as it was known) had significant royal associations.
In 1216, Henry III, who had succeeded to the throne at the age of only nine, was crowned here. Major building works in the 13th century included a first Lady Chapel and new Tower and refectory.
Most importantly for the subsequent history of this place, in 1327, King Edward II who had died in Berkeley Castle (in suspicious and, traditionally, gruesome circumstances) was buried here. A shrine-like monument was erected over the tomb of the dead king. Royal patronage and popular devotion led to funds flowing into the abbey, and these enabled the magnificent remodelling of the east end to be carried out in the very latest “Perpendicular” style.
In the 15th century further building work included the remodelling of the west end, the building of the south porch and of the present tower and finally, towards the end of the century, the present Lady Chapel.
Henry VIII ordered the monasteries to be dissolved and Gloucester Abbey surrendered in January 1540. The abbey buildings became Gloucester Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of Gloucester in 1541. No longer a community of monks, it was to be led by a Dean and a chapter of canons.
The ideological and doctrinal struggles of the 16th and 17th centuries made their mark in Gloucester: Bishop Hooper was burned at the stake here in 1555 on the orders of the Catholic Queen Mary; in the 1620’s Bishop Miles Smith and his Dean, William Laud held profoundly different views on what the nature and style of Church of England should be.
Then under Oliver Cromwell there was a move to demolish the cathedral building altogether (it was saved by the intervention of the mayor and burgesses of the City of Gloucester).
With the restoration of the monarchy (after the civil wars and Commonwealth period) in 1660, the Dean and Chapter resumed the running of the Cathedral and that is how it is managed today.
Throughout the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries they have carried out repairs and conservation work rather than rebuilding or remodelling the building.
More importantly, Gloucester Cathedral has endured through the centuries as a place of Christian witness where God is worshipped and the gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed every day.

St. Benedict founded the Benedictine order around the year 526. Westminster Abbey, Canterbury Cathedral, Durham Cathedral and Norwich Cathedral were Benedictine houses, and others included Bury St. Edmunds, Glastonbury and St. Albans. Binham Priory was founded as a cell of St. Albans Abbey in 1091 by Peter de Valoines. He was a nephew of William the Conqueror who gave him the land at Binham, which according to the Domesday Book originally belonged to a freeman named Esket.
The priory was endowed in the reign of Henry I, probably about 1104, although the building was not finished until the middle of the thirteenth century. The list of priors starts with Osgod in 1106. The Abbot of St Albans was allowed to stay for eight days a year, unless invited to stay longer, and to have no more than thirteen horses in his train. The number of monks was to be no less than eight, and the heirs and successors of the founder were to remain patrons and protectors. With the notable exception of Richard de Parco, Binham suffered much from unscrupulous and irresponsible priors, who quarrelled with St Albans, sold the priory silver, wasted money on lawsuits and even indulged in scandalous behaviour.
About 1212, the priory was besieged by Robert Fitzwalter. The Abbot of St Albans had removed the prior so Fitzwalter produced a forged deed of patronage stating that the prior could not be moved without his consent, and laid siege to the Priory. The monks were forced to eat bran and drink water from the drain-pipes. When King John heard about it he swore 'By God's feet, either I or Fitzwalter must be King of England' and he sent an armed force to relieve the priory. Fitzwalter fled for his life.
The deaths of about twelve monks of Binham are recorded in an obituary of St Albans from 1216 to 1253, which includes the story of Alexander de Langley one-time Prior of Wymondham who became insane through overstudy. When his outbursts of frenzy could no longer be tolerated, he was flogged and kept in solitary confinement at Binham until his death. He was buried in the churchyard in chains to prevent him escaping from his grave.
Richard de Parco was prior from 1227 to 1244. He was honourable and diligent, and acquired property from which he secured income. Richard de Parco also covered the cloister with lead, rebuilt the larder, added a new stable and a stone wall from the gate to the chapel of St. Thomas. His most important and ambitious work was to construct the west front, and yet in spite of all his building activities there was a balance of £20 when he left.
In 1317 William de Somerton became prior. He spent vast sums on the pursuit of alchemy, and sold two chalices, six copes, three chasubles, seven gold rings, silk cloths, silver cups and spoons and the silver cup and crown in which the Host was suspended before the altar. Also the Abbot, Hugh of St Albans was making exorbitant demands, so that it was difficult to buy food for the monks. In 1335 when William de Somerton left he had built up a priory debt of £600.
Benedictines were generally richer than the other orders, and so interested Henry VIII and his minister Thomas Cromwell. Binham Priory was suppressed in 1539, but by then had only six monks (the community at Binham was always small, with 14 monks at its peak in 1320, dropping to 11 in 1381) and its annual income had dropped to £140.
In the 33rd. year of the reign of Henry VIII, four hundred and fifty years after the priory's foundation it was given to Sir Thomas Paston, a local man and an important royal servant, who dismantled most of the buildings in order to build a new house at Wells-next-the-sea. Stone from the priory was sold and reused in many local houses, particularly around doors and windows.
Thomas Paston’s grandson, Edward, began to carry out further demolition works, with the intention of building a new house on the site. These plans were brought to an abrupt end when a workman was killed by falling masonry. This was considered a bad omen and the workmen refused to work and the project was abandoned.
The seven western bays of the nave were later sealed off from the rest of the building and continued in use to this day as The Priory Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross, Binham's parish church.
The priory ruins are managed and cared for by English Heritage.
The church of St. Mary gained Grade: 1 listed building status on 6th. March 1959
The gatehouse at Binham Priory gained Grade: 1 listed building status on 30th. November 1951.
Finally... After three consecutive Bricklink orders of dark green pieces, it is finished.This is my B-25 from the United States Air Force of World War II. Considering I wanted to accompany minifigures and landing gear into the build (which I did so successfully), I think it's a good attempt at one of my first bombers. Sorry for the lack of postage by me lately, for I had to wait a considerable time for Bricklink orders to arrive in order to complete this beast. Im glad that it's finally off my chest, though. It was a lot of work, but I can say that its features/design I went for will suffice for my standards. I hope you all like it, comment on what I should do next!

Original Digital Painting with Procreate, iPad Pro, and Apple Pencil. 24 hours painting time.
This is my most complex, carefully crafted, work to date. The black grid and shapes are all hand-drawn and painted. The red yellow and blue fills likewise. The white overlays were added last and sit on top of the primary fills.
Because it was painted in layers, I also can produce the ‘Primary Variation’ - a version without the white overlays. Although this one is what I envisioned from the start, the Primary Variation may be the stronger image. Opinions welcome.
