The Berlin Wall (Berliner Mauer) was a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany), starting on 13 August 1961, the Wall cut off (by land) West Berlin from virtually all of surrounding East Germany and East Berlin until government officials opened it in November 1989. Its demolition officially began on 13 June 1990 and finished in 1992. The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, accompanied by a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, "fakir beds" and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany. In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that had marked East Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period.

So many of our great monastic churches have faded into oblivion as a result of their suppression and plunder for the greed of Henry VIII and his henchmen, perhaps the biggest single blow to our heritage of all time. How fortunate then that a few slipped through the net and remain with us in some form today, incomplete but still glorious fragments.
Wymondham Abbey is just such a place, one of those cathedral-sized churches that survived because it was partially in parochial use, and thus withstood the dismantling of the monastic complex after it was dissolved. Here the great church was more physically divided than most, the nave being under the control of the townsfolk, the eastern parts for the exclusive use of the monks. The nave with its enormous west tower thus remains as Wymondham's parish church, one of the grandest in the country, whilst the monks choir of course fell victim to to the Dissolution and was quarried away soon afterwards leaving only the soaring octagonal central tower, a hollow shell with a great arch open on its eastern side (where formerly it connected to the choir). The church thus has a unique profile, the great main vessel with a mighty tower at either end, a sight that had tantalised me from a distance on several journeys in the area over the years, but never got to experience from close quarters until now.
The sight of the two great late medieval towers dominating their surroundings is an unforgettable sight, and is all the more dramatic when approaching from the east as the ruined central tower appears to be of almost equal size from this direction, but in reality is significantly smaller than the great bulk that literally towers over the west end. The ruinous sections adjoining the east end of the nave have recently been imaginatively incorporated into modern extensions that increase the church's working space quite effectively. Entry to the great nave that links the towers is by a handsome vaulted porch on the north side.
Externally most of the building implies a 15th century or later date, but within the impression is quite different, as most of what we see is still the original 12th century Norman structure with its solid piers and round arches. The clerestorey above and the aisle walls were clearly rebuilt and enlarged in the 15th century (hence the Norman work fails to register from outside), at which stage the astonishing angel roof was added (retaining its carved enrichments in the form of stellar bosses and large wooden angel carvings, happily far out of the reach of iconoclasts). The north aisle is also adorned with a fine richly carved late medieval roof and is substantially wider than its counterpart to the south.
The most notable furnishings are of rather more recent date, the great 1920s reredos and tester by Sir Ninian Comper that adorns the east wall (which was blocked before the Dissolution to divide the people's church from that of the monks). It is a glorious splash of gilding and coloured sculpture and forms a fitting climax and focal point to the interior in place of what would otherwise have been a featureless wall.
There is much to enjoy here but above all it is the architecture and its embellishments that make a visit here so memorable. I had waited many years to finally experience this building for myself and it did not disappoint! The church is normally open to visitors most days and I was made very welcome here. I loved it and urge others to come and see this remarkable place for themselves!

The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.
In Islam you only ask Allah for help. You never ask false gods, angels, religious figures, Imams, and others for help. I have been told people ask for my help and my systems help them. But again it is not me who helps them. I cannot biologically hear millions and billions of people who ask for my help everyday. I am just one human with soul and body similar to humans. So I cannot physically hear billions of people to help them. If I hear them I may be able to help them, make them kings, make them leaders and presidents, make them rich, make them powerful, and other good things. But it never reaches me. I am not corrupt to just make anyone king. I am The King of Kings Makan Abazari Shahan Shah Iran. I am The King of Kings Makan Abazari Shahan Shah Iran The Holy King. The King of Kings is holy title God gave me. God never have this holy title to anyone before me. I am The King of Kings Makan Abazari Shahan Shah Iran The Holy King and First King of Makanian Dynasty. I must be crowned Shahan Shah Iran in Tehran Iran.
As I said if I hear you I make rain for you. The same way I gave rain to people who asked for rain on TV. But I never give anyone capability to make rains other than Islamic Republic of Iran. If you ask me destroy some forces by weather warfare, miracles, and earthquakes I never do it for you. But if you ask for rain it reaches I make rain for you. But I never receive any message, phone calls, vistirs, tweets, guests, email, mail, package, parcels, or other forms of communication. But when I noticed on TV they need my help I helped them. But again only ask Allah for help. Never ask Angels, Saints, Prophets, Messiah, Messenger of God, Dead people, forefathers, and others for help. Because Allah in Quran says to only ask Allah for help. I know in Farsi Komak کمک sounds like Where is Makan? So I always help Iranians if they ask me for help. But They never asked me for help. But I protected them. I saved them. I made them superpowers of the World. I conquered the Earth for Iran. I defeated enemies of Iran. I made Iran absolute dominant superpower of the World. I also authorized Islamic Republic of Iran to enter codes to make rain, earthquakes, storms, superstorms, volcanos, hurricanes, and other things. God did not give these to me. I inherited them from my parents and grand parents. I and my families have been controlling Climate, Geophysics, magnetosphere, atmosphere Oceans, weather, weather warfare, rain, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other things for over ten thousand years. My parents raised me to be the best of mankind. Since I also had all these Allah chose me to be his Messenger. Last thing he asked me was to help, support, and protect Iran. It was about two years ago since last time God talked to me. He is not always talking to me. But he is closer to me than my Jagular Vein. I must remind I must be officially crowned Shahan Shah Iran in Tehran Iran. It is will of God and my will. If I am not Crowned Shahan Shah Iran we punish earth, all nations, all species, and all peoples. Never kill Iranians, Iranian Peoples, People of Iran, Makan Abazari Shahan Shah Iran, Makan Abazari’s mother, Makan Abazari’s families, Shia Muslims, Sunni Muslims, and other Muslims. Never exterminate. Never exterminate even if I say exterminate. Always defend yourself.
Americans say help when they need help. It sounds like Bark of Dogs. Since in Farsi Hap means sounds of Dogs. Americans say help in English.
Iranians say Komak کمک meaning where is Makan? کو ماکان؟
I am always able to help Iranians if I hear their call for help. My systems and forces must always also help Iran and Iranians. But again don’t ask angels, me, and other things for help in prayer when I and others cannot hear you. Only ask Allah for help.
They lie that Jesus The Messiah was Crucified. He was not crucified. Allah took him to himself. They lie Jesus was son of God. Jesus was The Messiah. They lie Jesus said God why have you forsaken me?
God never forsake Jesus The Messiah.
I am not Jesus and I am not Imam Zaman.

Peckforton Castle is a country house built in the style of a medieval castle. It stands in woodland at the north end of Peckforton Hills 1 mile (2 km) northwest of the village of Peckforton, Cheshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. The house was built in the middle of the 19th century as a family home for John Tollemache, a wealthy Cheshire landowner, estate manager, and Member of Parliament. It was designed by Anthony Salvin in the Gothic style. The Tollemache family continued to live in the house until 1939. During the Second World War it was used as a hostel for physically handicapped children.
The castle was bought in 1988 by Evelyn Graybill, who converted it into a hotel. In 2006 it was purchased by the Naylor family, who expanded its use to include hosting weddings, conferences, and other functions.

The Alcazar in Seville. There's quite a lot to write about this.
Physically...it's located in the monumental zone of Seville, within sight of the Archive of the Indies and the Seville Cathedral.
History... This exact site has been occupied since the 8th century B.C. (Hello, Phoenicians!) The College of Olearians was on this plot o' land beginning in the 1st century A.D. (Thanks, Romans!) An early Visigothic church was built on the ruins of that. (That'd be the Basilica of Saint Vincent.) Hey, the Moor the better! They came along in 712 and ruled Seville for about 5 centuries (different Moorish empires) during which time they expanded the buildings a little bit. Finally, the Christians took the town back in the mid-13th century and demolished almost everything...just to rebuild it...in Mudejar fashion. (What is Mudejar? It's an architectural style that means...Christians imitating Muslim style without the actual Muslims. Something along those lines.) Which brings us to...
Today...it's a palace (technically palaces; the Spanish name is Reales Alcazares...and the royal family still owns this place and has residence here. All of the second floor...their private digs.) The tour guide enjoyed using the word "pastiche," and...it is. Beautiful as this place is, it's a mix...Gothic palace, gardens, Casa del Asistente, Casa de la Contratacion, Mudejar, and a very little of the original Moorish construction (Patio del Yeso). Basically a mix of a whole lot of different...stuff. For example, in the Casa de la Contratacion, you'll find the Capilla de la Vergen de los Navegantes (Admirals' Room).
Most folks seem about 99% certain that this is the room where Queen Isabel awaited as Columbus returned from the New World for the first time. His coat of arms is hanging on the wall here, opposite a painting that has him in it. (His coat of arms has the royal coats of Castilla y Leon, plus some Caribbean islands, plus anchors....with the inscription "Columbus gave a new world to Castille and Leon."
A lot happened on these grounds. Births (and maybe deaths), intrigue, legends. It's a beautiful, fascinating place.
Lifestyle Principle 3: Walking Has Multiple Benefits
Walking is one of our favourite types of exercise and here's why:
Being physically active significantly reduces the risk of several major health conditions by between 20% and 60%, including: heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, colon and breast cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
Walking is easy to do, you don't need to be fit.
It’s free!
It requires no special equipment or clothing.
It's low impact and unlikely to cause injury.
You can walk almost anywhere and at any time
You can start slowly and build up gradually.
It’s a multipurpose activity that facilitates social interaction.
Studies on The Benefits of Walking
Walking versus running for hypertension, cholesterol & diabetes mellitus risk reduction, 2013. This major study compared the health impact of brisk walking with running and found that walkers benefitted as much as runners from a reduced risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and coronary heart disease.
3000 breast cancer patients were tracked for 18 years. Women with breast cancer who walked for 3-5 hours per week were 50% more likely to survive their diagnoses compared to inactive women with breast cancer.
There is evidence associating walking with significantly better cognitive function and less cognitive decline in older people.
In three different clinical trails, women who walked briskly most days for three months developed colds only about half as often as those who didn’t walk.
In a study of 550 adults, those who regularly exercised had 25% fewer colds during a one year study compared to those who seldom or never exercised.
The Nurses Health Study included 70,000 female nurses. Those women who walked at a moderate pace most days of the week for at least 30 minutes reduced their risk of stroke by 20% & those who walked at a brisk pace reduced their risk by 40%.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Walk
Try and get outside for a 20-30 minute brisk walk every day.
Walking in the morning before lunchtime will help to set your circadian rhythm, but any time of day will be beneficial.
If you can, walk in nature (green park, woods or beach).
In the summertime try to leave your chest and arms exposed while walking to get some vitamin D.
Walk with someone else – use the time for social interaction.
Or, if walking alone, be mindful for part of your walk – listen to a mindful meditation or simply try to notice as much as possible.

Construction work is physically demanding and dangerous. Safety on the site is often overlooked by those in charge simply to keep the job moving. If you have been injured in a construction accident, or someone you love has been harmed on-the-job, you need to talk with a Construction Accident Injury Lawyer who will help keep you and your family above water and get you the money you need for medical treatment, your lost earnings and other expenses and for the pain and suffering you go through.

Day 30! I'm very happy I've made it a "month" through my 365! Today was a boring day, feeling meh, both physically and mentally. Gracie came downstairs while I was contemplating what shot I should take. She just looked too cute, so I set up really quick, took a shot and here it is. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I wish I paid a little more attention to detail when i'm actually taking the shot, because her right eye was very under-exposed and I needed a little bit of fill, but that'll come with practice and more experience. Definitely a mental note though, always check the eyes in camera and if they look slightly under-exposed, i'll need some fill. Unless that's the look i'm going for.
My friend showed me this site the other day, called Keek. I think I might start "Keeking" a bit in the near future, so if you're interested in probably gaming/photography/general-life 36 second videos, you can follow me on there.

Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra distributed three-wheelers to over 200 physically challenged persons in New Delhi. On Late Rajiv Gandhi's birthday it was supposed to be distributed by Congress President Sonia Gandhi but due to her illness it got postponed.
Rahul and Priyanka, interacted with almost all the people who were given motorised three-wheelers by the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation and spent some time with them.
They went to almost every single person, exchanged pleasantries with them and heard their problems.

Pennhurst Asylum was built in 1908 as a state school for the mentally and physically disabled. The Spring City, Chester County, Pennsylvania property covered 120 acres with many different buildings, many connected through a series of underground tunnels. The original name was "Pennhurst Home for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic" before it became known as the "Pennhurst State School". A 1968 report by NBC television entitled "Suffer The Little Children" brought forth evidence of abuse, neglect, and overcrowding at the institution. After many lawsuits, including the landmark May 1974 case "Halderman v. Pennhurst State School ", Pennhurst was finally forced to close its doors in 1986. Pennhurst fell into complete disarray and ruin with scrappers looting buildings for what they could sell and vandals spray painting just about every surface they could find.
There have been attempts to stabilize some of the buildings, primarily the roofs, to keep the buildings in a state of "arrested decay" so they don't become more ruined by the elements, and several of the more dangerous buildings have been demolished. There is a movement to build a museum that features the history of not only Pennhurst but also mental care in the United States, so that we never return to that state of affairs again. The property owners now offer a haunted house during the Halloween season, Paranormal tours, and Photography tours. Tour money goes towards the stabilization of the buildings and the formation of the museum.

Manila, Philippines – The All in One Logistics Network (AiO) just celebrated their inaugural Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the Philippines. As this was a special occasion, both members and non-members were invited to attend. Although there were no attendees physically on site from the Americas, the attendees from Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia were very well represented.
The meeting began on the eve of September 13th at the Makati Shangri-La with a cocktail party to register and welcome everybody. The cocktail party also acted as an ice-breaker of sorts, allowing everyone to mingle at their own pace while making that all important first impression. Everyone was smiling, laughing and, perhaps most importantly, just plain having a good time together.
On the morning of September 14th, The real AGM began. After a quick registration, it was time to move onto the presentations portion of the AGM.
Presenters were:
•Gary Dale Cearley, Managing Director, Advanced International Networks Ltd (AIN) / Executive Director, All-in-One Logistics Network (AiO)
•Dominic Harrington, Managing Director, D&S Harrington (Australia)
•Ahsanullah Momen, CEO, Ease Logistics (Bangladesh)
•Tom K. De Vera, General Manager, EMCS (Philippines) - Presented a video on the Philippines
After a break for lunch, the attendees went straight into their one-to-one meetings which were, at a distance, quite lively. Even the people who had an open block, soon grew restless and sought out other companies to share details. The 30 minute blocks of time flew by until it was time to break and prepare for the evening’s banquet which was also held at the Makati Shangri-La.
The final day of the AiO AGM took place on September 15th and, aside from a lunch break, entailed a rigorous gauntlet of one-to-one meetings. The attendees never tired, being fuelled by coffee and snacks, made the most of each minute. The success of an AGM comes chiefly from the efforts and enthusiasm of the attendees. Judging from the cooperation of all involved, this inaugural AiO AGM was hands down and without a doubt a big success.
"In all the years that I have been in the international logistics networking business this was far and away the best network launching AGM I have had the pleasure to be a part of," said Gary Dale Cearley, Executive Director of the All-in-One Logistics Network. "Everything came together. I was proud of the quality of membership and how they took to making business with one another. It is a clear sign of being on the right path."
“I couldn’t be more pleased with this event, my colleagues, and the attendees,” added Trevis J. Cunningham AIN Events Coordinator, “I think we hit the sweet spot by not having too few or too many attendees. We not only earned new business opportunities, but more importantly gained new lifelong friends.”
Red Wolf Global, (Philippines and Thailand), was the event's Admiral sponsor. World Line Logistics (India), was a signage sponsor. Corporate sponsors were Volga-Dnepr Group and Wisetech Global. The dates and location of the 2016 AiO AGM will be announced in the near future.
The most physically beautiful people I have encountered live in Athens. The land of the Greek gods, legends and myths and the Acropolis, Athens' is a cosmopolitan landscape of bars and shopping. But this landscape bears nothing against its historic landscape of Seven Hills and majestic Parthenon.

The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.
I was scolded by a guard for taking this "panoramic" shot of ramps inside Museo Soumaya. "Only take pictures of individual objects!"
The combination of lighting and perspective gives the impression that it is "physically impossible" to go down the ramp alive - but I did.

Ian's nomination story
Although physically handicapped from an early age, Ian has never let this prevent him from pursuing his ambitions as a long distance runner. In order to compete in all the marathons that he has, he has to continue training even though he knows that he is likely to trip and fall many times. Alongside this, he works hard for his local running club and helps encourage the younger runners in their training as well as marshalling for local and national events. At work he is the epitome of selfless support, willing to help others for the benefit of the business whatever the personal cost - from staying late to making the multi bus journey into work at weekends to help resolve urgent issues. As a keen athlete, I know that Ian would also fully appreciate the honour of being the Olympic torchbearer.
