The week running up to Armistice Day is an important one for Wales’ First World War Centenary Wood, and the Woodland Trust (Coed Cadw) invited members of the public to come along and witness a one-off event at the Senedd.
The Trust is creating a Wales First World War Centenary Wood at Coed Ffos Las in Carmarthenshire, as a lasting tribute to all those involved in that terrible conflict. The project has been made possible by support from the National Lottery, through the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). In particular, HLF has allocated £30,500 to support a number of elements of the project, including interpretation of the importance of woods and trees in the First World War, the creation of an orchard and wild flower meadow, skills training for volunteers in hedge-laying and dry stone walling and much else besides. The wider project has also been supported by Sainsbury’s, the lead partner in the UK Centenary Woods Project, and also the Welsh Government’s Plant! Project and the Trust’s own members and supporters.
The centre-point of the wood will be a life-sized war horse sculpture, created out of Corten steel by the designer Steve Tomlinson. The work is nearly ready for delivery, but on its way to Coed Coed Ffos it will spend day outside the Senedd, the home of the Welsh Assembly on Cardiff Bay, to give Assembly Members and members of the public the change to see and admire it. There will also be an exhibition inside the Assembly.
The surface of the sculpture will be made up of leaves made of Corten steel that rusts and seals as it ages. The leaves chosen, oak, field maple, alder, beech, willow and holly, represent some of the different ways in which wood and timber were used in the war. And the heart of the sculpture will be a Horseshoe found on the site, probably from the former farm holding which once stood there.
Over the summer the Trust organised a competition asking members of the public to suggest a name for the horse. Nearly a hundred different suggestions were made. At a special ceremony outside the Senedd on 6 November, the winning entry was announced. The horse will be known as ‘Yr Arwr / Hero’, named after poet which won Hedd Wyn the Chair, posthumously, at the National Eisteddfod of 1917. The name had been suggested by Nicola Hancock, among others. The successful name had been chosen from a shortlist of three, which also included ‘Tommy’ and ‘Poppy’.
The Trust’s aim at Ffos Las it to create a special woodland, one that will stand tall in honour of the generation of 100 years ago, providing a lasting tribute to all those involved in the First World War. By the end of the project, volunteers will have planted over 90,000 trees at the site. The centrepiece, the commemorative feature, will be this horse sculpture. Featuring different leaf shapes, the sculpture highlights the key role played by woods and trees in the First World War. It will also commemorate the more than a million war horses and mules who served in the British Army in that terrible conflict.
Fe ddaith Ceffyl y Canmlwyddiant i’r Senedd
Roedd yr wythnos cyn Sul y Cofio yn un bwysig i Goedwig Canmlwyddiant Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf yng Nghymru, ac fe wahoddodd Coed Cadw (Woodland Trust) bawb sydd â diddordeb i ddod draw i weld digwyddiad unigryw yn y Senedd yng Nghaerdydd.
Mae Coed Cadw’n creu Coedwig Ganmlwyddiant y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf yng Nghoed Ffos Las yn Sir Gaerfyrddin fel teyrnged i bawb a gymerodd ran yn y gyflafan erchyll honno. Mae’r prosiect yn bosibl oherwydd cefnogaeth o chwaraewyr y Loteri Genedlaethol trwy Gronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri (HLF). Yn enwedig, mae HLF wedi dyrannu £30,500 i gefnogi nifer o elfennau o’r prosiect gan gynnwys dehongli pwysigrwydd coedwigoedd a choed yn y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, creu perllan a dôl blodau gwyllt, hyfforddiant ar gyfer gwirfoddolwyr i blygu perthi a chodi waliau cerrig sych a llawer mwy. Cefnogir y prosiect ehangach gan gwmni Sainsbury’s, prif bartner Prosiect Coedydd y Canmlwyddiant a hefyd Llywodraeth Cymru trwy brosiect Plant! yn ogystal ag aelodau a chefnogwyr Coed Cadw ei hun.
Canolbwynt y goedwig fydd cerflun o geffyl rhyfel, maint llawn, a grëwyd allan o ddur Corten gan y dylunydd Steve Tomlinson. Mae'r gwaith bron yn barod i'w osod, ond ar y ffordd i Goed Coed Ffos fe fydd yn treulio diwrnod y tu allan i'r Senedd, cartref y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol ym Mae Caerdydd. Y syniad i rhoi cyfle i Aelodau'r Cynulliad ac aelodau'r cyhoedd i’w weld a’i edmygu . Fe fydd yna arddangosfa hefyd y tu mewn i'r Cynulliad.
Mae croen y ceffyl wedi’i wneud o ddail o ddur Corten sy'n rhydu wrth iddi heneiddio. Mae'r dail a ddewiswyd, derw, masarn, gwern, ffawydd, helyg a chelyn, yn cynrychioli rhai o'r gwahanol ffyrdd y defnyddiwyd coed a phren yn y rhyfel. A chalon y cerflun fydd pedol y cafwyd hyd iddi ar y safle, yn ôl pob tebyg o'r hen ffermdy a oedd unwaith yn sefyll yno.
Dros yr haf fe drefnodd Coed Cadw gystadleuaeth yn gofyn i bawb awgrymu enwau i’r ceffyl. Fe gafodd yr enw buddugol ei gyhoeddi ar y 6 Tachwedd: ‘Yr Arwr / Hero’, ar ôl y cerdd a enillodd y Gadair i Hedd Wyn, yn fuan ar ôl ei farwolaeth, yn 1917. Awgrymwyd yr enw hwnnw gan Nicola Hancock, ymysg eraill. Y ddau enw arall ar y rhestr fel oedd ‘Tommy’ and ‘Poppy’.
Nod Coed Cadw yn Ffos Las yw creu coeweig arbennig, un a fydd yn sefyll yn uchel i gofio'r genhedlaeth o 100 mlynedd yn ôl, gan ddarparu teyrnged parhaol i bawb oedd yn ymwneud â'r Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Erbyn diwedd y prosiect, fe fydd gwirfoddolwyr wedi plannu dros 90,000 o goed ar y safle. Y canolbwynt, y nodwedd goffa, fydd y cerflun ceffyl hwn. Mae’r cerflun yn cynnwys siapiau gwahanol ddail, gan amlygu'r rôl allweddol a chwaraeodd coedwigoedd a choed yn y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf. Fe fydd hefyd yn coffáu’r mwy na miliwn o geffylau a mulod rhyfel a wasanaethodd yn y Fyddin Brydeinig yn y gyflafan ofnadwy honno.
Hyattsville, MD – U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) met today with community leaders from across Prince George’s and Montgomery counties in Maryland for a roundtable on immigration reform. Hosted by CASA de Maryland, the roundtable discussion provided an opportunity for Senator Cardin to hear from key stakeholders in the immigration debate and to share the latest proposals coming from Washington. The event follows the first week of deliberation by the Senate Judiciary Committee of comprehensive immigration reform legislation (S. 744). It also comes just days after a group in the House of Representatives announced that they had reached a bipartisan agreement on immigration reform.
“We need to seize this unprecedented opportunity to pass real, bipartisan immigration reform. We cannot do this in pieces; it must be a comprehensive effort that allows for a fair pathway to citizenship for the approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants now living in the United States.

Playing around with my armoured Batcowl, an SP armour suit, paint and some concepts I made. I plan to feature this guy in short stories for a revamp of the post 52 universe I made up. After all, DK is no longer up to date; we know Bruce did not retire aftere JT's death. I want to tell his future in the new 52 continuity. What do you think of the suit? Note that this does not have to be Bruce. It COULD be him, but as well a resurrected Damian, Dick, Tim or someone all-new.

My arm looks just as bad as it did last night, and there are two tiny scab marks at the base of the bruise. Looks small enough to be a spider bite.
The Alentejo region of Portugal is mainly rolling farmland, dotted with olive trees, vineyards and cork trees.
I liked the way the sun was hitting the hillside, with the clouds bringing rain in the distance, so I stopped the car and took this shot from a farm track.

After cleaning up JWST Deep Field TIFF (grid F1) source picture, the blob on the galaxy caught my eye as a possible supernova. This is currently being checked by professionals in the field after I contacted them.
With the discovery of gold and the almost simultaneous granting of independence from New South Wales in 1851, the new State of Victoria rapidly assumed an importance unimaginable only a few years previously.
A very distinguished architect and devout Catholic, William Wilkinson Wardell, arrived in Melbourne and in 1858 designed the cathedral. Building operations were begun the same year. The nave was completed within ten years.
The building was ready for consecration in 1897.
The plans were for a magnificent Cathedral of immense proportions. It was, in fact, greater than anything attempted by English and Irish Catholics in their home countries and it is also the largest church to be built anywhere in the world, as a single entity, entirely within the 19th century. In the U.S.A., only the Cathedral of New York, it too dedicated to St Patrick and commenced at much the same time but brought to completion only in this century, comes close to rivalling it.
It was the architect's intention that the Cathedral should be erected in two stages: the nave and its aisles as soon as possible, with work then proceeding on the realisation of the remainder of the building. Consequently, and in keeping with medieval tradition, there is a change in style between the two clearly defined construction projects. The nave is in the architectural style known as "Early English", whilst the rest of the building is in that known as "Geometric Decorated" of some two centuries later in the development of Gothic style architecture.
The construction of St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne was to occupy Wardell, by now also appointed inspector General of Public Works for the Government of Victoria, with the right of private practice, for the rest of his life. He was present at its consecration in 1897 and was working on plans for areas of the building not quite completed when he died two years later.
In the twenty years after the consecration of 1897, the Cathedral's interior decoration was completed, basically according to Wardell's intentions, but it is doubtful if he would have been entirely satisfied with the stencil patterned walls of the sanctuary and chapels, done to the designs of William Tappin.
Daniel Mannix succeeded as Archbishop of Melbourne in May, 1917. One of his first acts was to remove late Victorian and Edwardian era monuments which had been installed. He who also had the interior painted in a grey colour, eliminating the typical Wardell buff- pink coloured interior. Archbishop Mannix's greatest contribution was the completion of St Patrick's by the addition of the spires and other elements in the late 1930s.
To celebrate the centenary of its consecration in 1997, the Cathedral was closed throughout 1994 to be upgraded. Nothing was added to the main building. Rather, it underwent significant conservation work, with funds contributed by the federal and Victorian governments, corporate and philanthropic donors and the community of Melbourne.
