Maner enjoys position of one of the chief spiritual centers in India. Maner Sharif houses two very popular Muslim tombs:
One of Makhdoom Yahya Maneri known as the Bari Dargah.
Another of Shah Daulat or Makhdum Daulat, popularly called Chhoti Dargah.
Constructed by Ibrahim Khan ( the Mughal governor of Bihar under Jahangir.) in 1619.Emperor Jahangir added gateway on the north of the mausoleum and the three-bay mosque on the west in the later years. To the south there is a vast water tank, or baoli.
منیر شریف
It is one of two main centers of the Kubrawiya-Firdausiya sect in India, the other being Biharsharif. Bari Dargah stands within a walled garden on top of a mound that according to some archaeologists conceals an old Buddhist site. It also has a small mosque dating back thirteenth century with the graves of Shaikh Maneri’s disciples and descendants.
Badi Dargah:-
A great dome crowns it, and the ceiling is covered with carved inscriptions from the Quran. Every detail of it is characteristic of the architecture of Jehangir's region, and it is by far the finest monument of the Mughals in Eastern India.
The well known grammarian Panini (Vedic Ancient Sanskrit) as well as Bararuchi were the residents of Maner Sharif of Bihar where they have completed their studies.

Strobist Lighting 102 1.2: Position/Distance
Camera settings were kept constant: f5, 1/200 sec, ISO200.
Flash: LumoPro160 at camera right, approx 120 degrees.
Subject was 1.2m (4 feet) away from the background.
Top image: Flash at 1/2 power, approx 3m from subject.
Middle: Flash at 1/8 power, approx 1.5m away.
Bottom: Flash at 1/32 power, approx 0.5m away.
Was amazed at how the background got so dark with the bottom image. I'm getting more amazed at the creative control Strobist lighting gives you.
I've decided to better myself in the realm of off camera lighting by enrolling myself in the Strobist Lighting 102 course. (It's basically a set of instructions and assignments that have been created by David Hobby that help to teach the basics of off camera lighting). Find them at strobist.blogspot.com/2007/06/lighting-102-introduction.html
This is the first assignment: Position- Angle.
Strobist: Single SB-80DX on a stand, moved from camera left to camera right at about 30 degree angles. 1/8 power, bare.

Built on the crest of a hill in a prominent position overlooking St Kilda and the bay is the grand St Kilda Presbyterian Church. Opened in 1886, the St Kilda Presbyterian church was designed by the architects firm of Wilson and Beswicke, a business founded in 1881 by Ralph Wilson and John Beswicke (1847 - 1925) when they became partners for a short period. The church is constructed of bluestone with freestone dressings and designed in typical Victorian Gothic style. The foundation stone, which may be found on the Alma Road facade, was laid by the Governor of Victoria Sir Henry Barkly on 27 January. When it was built, the St Kilda Presbyterian Church was surrounded by large properties with grand mansions built upon them, so the congregation were largely very affluent and wished for a place of worship that reflected its stature not only in location atop a hill, but in size and grandeur.
The exterior facades of the church on Barkley Street and Alma Road are dominated by a magnificent tower topped by an imposing tower. The location of the church and the height of the tower made the spire a landmark for mariners sailing into Melbourne's port. The tower features corner pinnacles and round spaces for the insertion of a clock, which never took place. Common Victorian Gothic architectural features of the St Kilda Presbyterian Church include complex bar tracery over the windows, wall buttresses which identify structural bays, gabled roof vents, parapeted gables and excellent stone masonry across the entire structure.
The St Kilda Presbyterian Church's interior is cool, spacious and lofty, with high ceilings of tongue and groove boards laid diagonally, and a large apse whose ceiling was once painted with golden star stenciling. The bluestone walls are so thick that the sounds of the busy intersection of Barkley Street and Alma Road barely permeate the church's interior, and it is easy to forget that you are in such a noisy inner Melbourne suburb. The cedar pews of the church are divided by two grand aisles which feature tall cast iron columns with Corinthian capitals. At the rear of the building towards Alma Road there are twin porches and a narthex with a staircase that leads to the rear gallery where the choir sang from. It apparently once housed an organ by William Anderson, but the space today is used as an office and Bible study area. The current impressive Fincham and Hobday organ from 1892 sits in the north-east corner of the church. It cost £1030.00 to acquire and install. The church is flooded with light, even on an overcast day with a powerful thunder storm brewing (as the weather was on my visit). The reason for such light is because of the very large Gothic windows, many of which are filled with quarry glass by Ferguson and Urie featuring geometric tracery with coloured borders. The church also features stained glass windows designed by Ferguson and Urie, British stained glass artist Ernest Richard Suffling, Brooks, Robinson and Company Glass Merchants, Mathieson and Gibson of Melbourne and one by Australian stained glass artist Napier Waller.
Philippine Marines take positions to clear a streets of armed militants on May 28, 2017 in Marawi city, southern Philippines. Philipino authorities announced on Sunday that the official death toll during gun battles between ISIS-linked militants and security troops in Marawi City had risen to at least 85, including executed civilians and foreign Islamist militants among the dead. President Rodrigo Duterte had declared 60 days of martial law in Mindanao on Tuesday after local terrorist groups Maute Group and Abu Sayyaf rampaged through the southern city. Duterte said martial law could be extended across the Philippines while thousands of residents continue to flee from Marawi city.

The main landing gear rest on the sides of the wheel wells, preventing outward collapse and unnecessary strain on the levers (their main task is to keep the gear from collapsing forward).
Cette scène ordinaire de la vie du marais est, en fait, une scène assez dramatique. En effet j'ai observé un long moment cette cistude d'Europe avec sa compagne, une tortue de Floride. La cistude, probablement un mâle, n'a pas cessé de poursuivre la tortue de Floride en essayant de s'accoupler avec elle. Malheureusement ce mâle cistude croit avoir à faire à une de ses congénère femelle et il va s'épuiser en vain à essayer de féconder cette tortue de Floride. Devant la prolifération inexorable de cette dernière notre pauvre cistude d'Europe demeure plus que jamais menacées d'extinction.

Richmond Castle in Richmond, North Yorkshire, England, stands in a commanding position above the River Swale, close to the centre of the town of Richmond. It was originally called Riche Mount, 'the strong hill'. The castle was constructed from 1071 onwards following the Norman Conquest of England, and the Domesday Book of 1086 refers to 'a castlery' at Richmond.
In 1069 William the Conqueror had put down a rebellion at York which was followed by his "harrying of the North" – an act of ethnic cleansing which depopulated large areas for a generation or more. As a further punishment, he divided up the lands of north Yorkshire among his most loyal followers. Alan Rufus, of Brittany, received the borough of Richmond and began constructing the castle to defend against further rebellions and to establish a personal power base. His holdings, called the Honour of Richmond, covered parts of eight counties and amounted to one of the most extensive Norman estates in England. The Dukes of Brittany became the owners of the castle as Earls of Richmond though it was often confiscated for various periods by English Kings.
A 100-foot (30 m)-high keep of honey-coloured sandstone was constructed at the end of the 12th century by Duke Conan IV of Brittany. The Earldom of Richmond was seized in 1158 by Henry II of England. [a] It was King Henry II who probably completed the keep which had 11-foot (3.4 m)-thick walls. Modern visitors can climb to the top of the keep for magnificent views of the town of Richmond. At the same time that the keep was probably completed, Henry II considerably strengthened the castle by adding towers and a barbican. Henry III and King Edward I spent more money on the site including Edward's improvements to the keep interior.
In addition to the main circuit of the wall, there was the barbican in front of the main gate which functioned as a sealed entry space, allowing visitors and wagons to be checked before they gained entry to the castle itself. On the other side of the castle, overlooking the river, was another enclosure or bailey called the Cockpit, which may have functioned as a garden and was overlooked by a balcony. A drawing of 1674 suggests there was another longer balcony overlooking the river side of Scolland's Hall, the Great Hall.
Richmond Castle had fallen out of use as a fortress by the end of the 14th century and it did not receive major improvements after that date. A survey of 1538 shows it was partly in ruins, but paintings by Turner and others, together with the rise of tourism and an interest in antiquities, led to repairs to the keep in the early 19th century.
In 1855 the castle became the headquarters of the North Yorkshire Militia, and a military barracks block was constructed in the great courtyard. For two years, from 1908 to 1910, the castle was the home of Robert Baden-Powell, later founder of the Boy Scouts, while he commanded the Northern Territorial Army but the barracks building was demolished in 1931.
The castle was used during the First World War as the base of the Non-Combatant Corps made up of conscientious objectors – conscripts who refused to fight. It was also used to imprison some conscientious objectors who refused to accept army discipline and participate in the war in any way. These included the "Richmond Sixteen" who were taken to France from the castle, charged under Field Regulations, and then sentenced to death, but their death sentences were commuted to ten years' hard labour.
As presented today Richmond Castle has one of the finest examples of Norman buildings in Britain including Scollands Hall, the Great Hall of the castle. The keep has a restored roof and floors but is shown with the original 11th-century main gate arch unblocked. This arch is now in the basement of the later 12th century keep which was built in front of it, the main gate then being moved to its present position which was dominated by the adjacent keep while the original arch we see today was filled-in to secure the keep.
The castle is a Scheduled Monument, a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change.It is also a Grade I listed building and therefore recognised as an internationally important structure. Today the castle is in the care of English Heritage which publishes a guidebook written by John Goodall PhD FSA. English Heritage provides a visitor centre for the castle with an informative exhibition containing artefacts form the castles history, they also hold regular events there throughout the year.
According to legend, King Arthur and his knights are sleeping in a cave underneath the castle. It is said that they were once discovered by a potter named Thompson, who ran away when they began to awake. Another legend tells that a drummer boy
When you announce to your teacher at the moment she is starting to position you for the class photo that you need to visit the lavatory, expect some form of revenge after the accident.
Where originally it might have been intended to have a row of eight boys at the front row and a second row of ten girls, a rather uneven second row of ten girls and one boy is the final result.
The accident has been made more evident after the boy has been made to keep the hands by the side by the teacher, rather than to fold them like the other boys, thus bringing the attention of the problem to all parents and friends who later see the photograph.
Showing up a child was always a more lasting punishment than a quick hit with the plimsoll or cane.
Some of the teachers at a junior school I was at, would forbid many of us from the Children's Home to leave a classroom in the middle of a lesson if we needed a pee.
Often short of money, a few would use these unsupervised moments to search other children's coats for money or sweets (as they were not allowed in the classroom, so they were left in coat pockets), if no actual need for a pee had been there, ten minutes alone could bring good pickings.
To be fair it was not just the kids that were from the Children's Home that had this rule, but also a couple of other boys who might also might not be trusted were also included in the ban of leaving the classroom during a lesson.
Those of us who suffered this lack of trust, tried to make sure that all our breaks were used for visits to the lavatory, both at the start and at the end of our play times.
Once we knew that asking certain teachers if we could leave the room resulted in the NO answer, we didn't bother asking and tried to hold on to the end of the lesson.
Whilst other children might tease us a little when we did wet ourselves, it was mild compared to the reception we would receive when returned to the Home.
At the end of the day and returning to the Home, there was no point in trying to hide the matter from Sister, it would only get you into more trouble. There was no punishment, just the comment that it might be best if you wore waterproof pants to school to stop the matter happening, and then going to school in them until she decided otherwise was not too much of a problem.
More mild teasing from our friends, but you dare not take them off and hide them, had they become lost the punishment for loosing them would be unthinkable. Eventually the teasing would end. The worst time to be in them was when it came to change for PE or games.
You became happy that the teacher could no longer torture you in class, with the problem of wet stains on your shorts, and a puddle under your chair. The fear of needing to visit the toilet vanished, you had no worries that you might need to go. Wearing waterproofs for many became an everyday event in primary school and there were only a few accidents.
---------------------------------------------
Those of us from the Children's Home were always short of money, a dare from friends if they promised to put in a penny each for you to do something daft, often ended with the slipper when you were found out if the dare had not been too stupid.
Getting in around 1/- (that would buy a very large bar of chocolate or two Mars bars) from your group of friends was a decent amount of money, it made up for the pain. Fail to complete the dare meant you had to give your friends the penny each instead.
When the stakes were higher, you needed friends to put in 3d each if it would probably end in the cane for your deed if you were caught. 2/6 - 3/- for a dare was always worth the risk.
Holding a lighted banger in your hand, removing the teachers lesson from the blackboard when it was clearly marked DO NOT REMOVE, and making a puddle on the Headmasters carpet, were among the higher dares.
If you were to be seen by the headmaster at morning break. You were first made to drink your one third of a pint milk, then taken straight to see the headmaster due your latest bit of bad behaviour, waiting outside his office until he was ready to see you, and not allowed to a pay a visit to the toilet until you had been seen. I never did make a puddle in his office, other friends did out of fear or for a dare. Due to a long wait outside his office, my shorts and the door mat did suffer.
happy weekend everyone. go out and shoot. as i have to work. boo.
