To be precise Symonds Yat East, on the River Wye, a couple of miles upstream from where the river crosses from Herefordshire, England into Wales. It is said that the setllement here - or rather settlements as there is another cluster of homes and businesses on the other side - was named after a 17th century Sheriff of the county, while 'yat' is an old English word meaning gate or pass. Locals simply refer to the place as 'the Yat' which depending on which side you live means one or the other.
Since the tourist season has now begun to get well under way, this being on my cycle route to town, I will soon be having to navigate the ever growing crowds, cars trying to get in and out of parking spaces, canoists and rock climbers trundling around with their gear and of course all the day trippers themselves. Best place to be then is high above in the woods looking down, from where I took this shot :-)
This is a component for a nanofactory.
A device to lock out arbitrary shaped micro-components from a practically perfect vacuum (green)** to a gas or liquid filled environment (red) without letting a single molecule of the medium back in. The device needs to be atomically precise with atomically flat piston surfaces. As of 2015 this device is not yet producible.
** Practically perfect vacuum is a requirement for mechanosynthesis of diamond. Although it is not yet possible to attain such a vacuum in today’s ultra high vacuum (UHV) vessels (which are in the meter scale and have imperfect steel walls which adsorb gas molecules) estimative calculations show that practically perfect vacuum certainly will be possible in microscopic atomically precise vessels made from gemstone like materials.

Kryžių kalnas, or the Hill of Crosses is a site of pilgrimage about 12 km north of the city of Šiauliai, in northern Lithuania.
The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed that the first crosses were placed on the former Jurgaičiai or Domantai hill fort after the 1831 Uprising.
Over the generations, not only crosses and crucifixes, but statues of the Virgin Mary, carvings of Lithuanian patriots and thousands of tiny effigies and rosaries have been brought here by Catholic pilgrims. The exact number of crosses is unknown, but estimates put it at about 55,000 in 1990 and 100,000 in 2006.
Over the generations, the place has come to signify the peaceful endurance of Lithuanian Catholicism despite the threats it faced throughout history.
After the 3rd partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795, Lithuania became part of the Russian Empire.
Poles and Lithuanians unsuccessfully rebelled against Russian authorities in 1831 and 1863.
These two uprisings are connected with the beginnings of the hill: as families could not locate bodies of perished rebels, they started putting up symbolic crosses in place of a former hill fort.
Number of crosses
1800's over 9,000
1900 130
1902 155
1922 50
1938 over 400

A stone inscribed with the words of Pope John Paul II: }Thank you, Lithuanians, for this Hill of Crosses which testifies to the nations of Europe and to the whole world the faith of the people of this land."
When the old political structure of Eastern Europe fell apart in 1918, Lithuania once again declared its independence.
Throughout this time, the Hill of Crosses was used as a place for Lithuanians to pray for peace, for their country, and for the loved ones they had lost during the Wars of Independence.
The site took on a special significance during the years 1944–1990, when Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union.
Continuing to travel to the hill and leave their tributes, Lithuanians used it to demonstrate their allegiance to their original identity, religion and heritage.
It was a venue of peaceful resistance, although the Soviets worked hard to remove new crosses, and bulldozed the site at least three times (including attempts in 1963 and 1973).
There were even rumors that the authorities planned to build a dam on the nearby Kulvė River, a tributary to Mūša, so that the hill would end up underwater.
On September 7, 1993, Pope John Paul II visited the Hill of Crosses, declaring it a place for hope, peace, love and sacrifice.
In 2000 a Franciscan hermitage was opened nearby. The interior decoration draws links with La Verna, the mountain where St. Francis is said to have received his stigmata.

Warangal Fort, in the present-day Indian state of Telangana, appears to have existed since at least the 13th century CE. Although precise dating of its construction and subsequent enhancements are uncertain, historians and archaeologists generally accept that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva, who died in 1262, and that his successors – Rudramadevi and Prataparudra II – added to its height and added gateways, square bastions and additional circular earthern walls prior to the latter's death in 1323. This places the construction towards the end of the Kakatiya period. There were later modifications between the 15th and 17th centuries, comprising principally the addition of barbicans to the four gates in the stone wall and the creation of gates in the outer earthern wall.
Remnants of the structure can be seen today near to the town of Warangal, which was the Kakatiya capital. The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the remains as a Monument of National Importance.
_____________________________
The 12th and the 13th centuries saw the emergence of the Kakatiyas. They were at first the feudatories of the Western Chalukyas of Kalyana, ruling over a small territory near Warangal. A ruler of this dynasty, Prola II, who ruled from A.D.1110 to 1158, extended his sway to the south and declared his independence. His successor Rudra (A.D.1158--1195) pushed the kingdom to the north up to the Godavari delta. He built a fort at Warangal to serve as a second capital and faced the invasions of the Yadavas of Devagiri. The next ruler Mahadeva extended the kingdom to the coastal area. In A.D.1199, Ganapati succeeded him. He was the greatest of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Velanati Cholas in A.D.1210. He forced the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to accept his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion and encouraged trade.
As Ganapati Deva had no sons, his daughter Rudramba succeeded him in A.D.1262 and carried on the administration. Some generals, who did not like to be ruled by her, rebelled. She could, however, suppress the internal rebellions and external invasions with the help of loyal subordinates. The Cholas and the Yadavas suffered such set backs at her hands that they did not think of troubling her for the rest of her rule.
Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba in A.D.1295 and ruled till A.D.1323. He pushed the western border of his kingdom up to Raichur. He introduced many administrative reforms. He divided the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which was later adopted and developed by the Rayas of Vijayanagara. In his time the territory constituting Andhra Pradesh had the first experience of a Muslim invasion. In A.D.1303, the Delhi Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji sent an army to plunder the kingdom. But Prataparudra defeated them at Upparapalli in Karimnagar district. In A.D. 1310, when another army under Malik Kafur invaded Warangal, Prataparudra yielded and agreed to pay a large tribute. In A.D.1318, when Ala-ud-din Khilji died, Prataparudra withheld the tribute. It provoked another invasion of the Muslims. In A.D.1321, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country then called Tilling. He laid siege to Warangal, but owing to internal dissensions he called off the siege and returned to Delhi. Within a short period, he came back with a much bigger army. In spite of unpreparedness, Prataparudra fought bravely. For want of supplies, he surrendered to the enemy who sent him to Delhi as a prisoner, and he died on the way. Thus ended the Kakatiya rule, opening the gates of the Telugu land to anarchy and confusion yielding place to an alien ruler.
The Kakatiya period was rightly called the brightest period of the Telugu history. The entire Telugu speaking area was under the kings who spoke Telugu and encouraged Telugu. They established order throughout the strife torn land and the forts built by them played a dominant role in the defence of the realm. Anumakonda and Gandikota among the `giridurgas', Kandur and Narayanavanam among the `vanadurgas', Divi and Kolanu among the `jaladurgas', and Warangal and Dharanikota among the `sthaladurgas' were reckoned as the most famous strongholds in the Kakatiya period. The administration of the kingdom was organized with accent on the military.
Though Saivism continued to be the religion of the masses, intellectuals favoured revival of Vedic rituals. They sought to reconcile the Vaishnavites and the Saivites through the worship of Harihara. Arts and literature found patrons in the Kakatiyas and their feudatories.

Kryžių kalnas, or the Hill of Crosses, (Lithuanian: Kryžių kalnas) is a site of pilgrimage about 12 km north of the city of Šiauliai in northern Lithuania. The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed that the first crosses were placed on the former hill fort after the 1831 Uprising in Poland, Lithuania, and other western regions of the Tsarist Empire. Over the generations, not only crosses and crucifixes, but statues of the Virgin Mary, carvings of Lithuanian patriots and thousands of tiny effigies and rosaries have been brought here by pilgrims. The exact number of crosses is unknown, but estimates put it at about 100,000 at present.
Over the generations, the place has come to signify the peaceful endurance of Lithuanian Catholicism despite the threats it faced throughout history. After the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Lithuania became part of the Russian Empire. Poles and Lithuanians unsuccessfully rebelled against Russian authorities in 1831 and 1863.

On September 7, 1993, Pope John Paul II visited the Hill of Crosses, declaring it a place for hope, peace, love and sacrifice. In 2000 a Franciscan hermitage was opened nearby. The interior decoration draws links with La Verna, the mountain where St. Francis is said to have received his stigmata. The hill remains under nobody’s jurisdiction; therefore people are free to build crosses as they see fit.
Occasionally, significant parts of the site burn down in accidental fires. The site attracts pilgrims from across Europe, but especially Lithuania and Poland.

Drosera anglica Huds., syn.: Drosea longifolia L.
EN: English Sundew, Great Sundew, DE: Langblatt-Sonnentau
Slo.: dolgolistna rosika
Dat.: June 10. 2008
Lat.: 45.90000 Long.: 14.10000 (coordinates not precise)
Code: Bot_270/2008_DSC8994
Habitat: nutrients poor wetland, small marshland next to a local road; flat terrain; mostly sunny; elevation 570 m (1.870 feet); average precipitations 1.800-2.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-9 deg C, borderline between Dinaric and prealpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: wet soil.
Place: Žejna dolina valley, next to the local road from village Hotedršica toward the settlement Medvedje Brdo, (about 2 km north from the village Hotedršica), Notranska, Slovenia EC.
Comment: Genus sundew (Drosera) is large. It encompasses (depending on source) from 150 to more than 200 species. It can be found on all continents except Antarctica. But, only three species (hybrids excluded) are native to Europe as well as toSlovenia.
Drosera anglica is widely distributed insectivorous plant (see Ref.: 8) and circumpolar boreal-montane element. The plant gets a part of nutrients needed from captured insects. Therefore, it is able to occupy relatively infertile habitats with very little nutrients and minerals available. Plants catch mostly small insects.
Their leaf surface is covered with special hairs, each one topped with a red oval gland surrounded by a droplet of viscous liquid that sparkles from far like morning dew. These glands have three functions. They secrete droplets of the 'liquid glue' that catch and hold the insects, produce the enzymes needed to digest them, and absorb the nutrients released when insects decompose. As the insects struggles to free themselves they activate folding up of the leaves around them and neighboring hairs ensnare them even more securely. Once digestion is completed and the glandular hairs absorb the nutrients, they resume their initial positions waiting on new catch.
Drosera anglica is a relatively rare species in Slovenia, significantly rarer than common sundew (Drosera rotundifolia). It is considered endangered. Taking into account its very broad distribution, IUCN-Red list considers it 'near threatened' (NT) species (Ref.: 9). Suitable habitats are disappearing apparently unstoppably. To worsen the situation, the species is highly intolerant to nitrogen (Ref.: 7), which makes many of the remaining wetlands unsuitable for settlement because of increasing artificial fertilization of land.
Protected according to: Uredba o zavarovanih prostoživečih rastlinskih vrstah, poglavje A, Uradni list RS, št. 46/2004 (Regulation of protected wild plants, chapter A, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 46/2004), (2004).
Pravilnik o uvrstitvi ogroženih rastlinskih in živalskih vrst v rdeči seznam, Uradni list RS, št. 82/2002 (Regulation of enlisting of endangered plant and animal species onto Red List, Official Gazette of Republic Slovenia, no. 82/2002) (2002). Enlisted in the Slovene Red List of rare and endangered species, marked by "V" representing a vulnerable species.

The stained glass at a cathedral in eastern France will no longer produce a distinctive green ray seen just twice a year, on the spring and autumn equinoxes, after the precise pane was replaced during a recent renovation.
www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220322-strasbourg-cathedr...
Admirers learned of its loss when they hoped to see the phenomenon at exactly 4:33 pm on Sunday, when the Earth's axis was directly perpendicular to the sun -- marking the first day of spring.
But the website of Strasbourg's gothic cathedral warned visitors that, as of March 16, the pane's replacement meant there would no longer be any "green ray" illuminating a stone carving of a crucified Christ.
The light had fuelled speculation of a divine blessing on the cathedral completed in 1439, with hundreds of people coming to witness the twice-yearly event, though church officials insisted it was a pure coincidence of celestial geometry.
The stained-glass window in question was installed in 1876, and the sun would pass through the left foot of Judah, a son of Jacob, to produce the famous ray.
Faced with the outrage caused by the disappearance of the famous green ray visible during the equinoxes in the cathedral of Strasbourg, the regional direction of cultural affairs explained in a statement: a reversible patina has been affixed to the foot of Judah pending a final restoration of the stained glass.
Faced with the indignation of many people, the regional direction of cultural affairs of the Grand Est (DRAC) has explained in a statement about the disappearance of the famous green ray of the cathedral of Strasbourg.
"A reversible patina has been affixed to the transparent glass, in March 2022, by the regional conservation of historical monuments on behalf of the State owner of the cathedral, in agreement with the clergy affectionate worship of the building and the foundation of the Oeuvre Notre-Dame, "said the DRAC in this statement.
A complete restoration of the stained glass window representing Judah is planned later and should be entrusted to a master glassmaker. It is the light of the sun, which by crossing this stained glass at the level of the foot of Judah, one of the ancestors of Christ, caused the appearance of a green ray twice a year during the autumn and spring equinoxes. This luminous phenomenon lasted a few minutes at the end of the morning and was repeated for about a week.
The indignation of the "discoverer" of this green ray in 1972
The stained glass windows of Strasbourg Cathedral, getting damaged with time, are regularly restored. The latest work undertaken by the DRAC concerns the stained glass windows located in the south of the religious building. It is within this framework that the stained glass window of the green ray has been partially restored.
It is moreover following a restoration dating from 1972, that the green ray appeared for the first time. The foot of Judah would have been replaced by a raw glass and thus transparent allowing the passage of light. It is an engineer-geometer, Maurice Rosart who first discovered this phenomenon.
The latter has also expressed his deep dissatisfaction. "This act is a bad blow to the people of Strasbourg, to culture, to secularism, to the lights", he deplored, recalling that a cover had already been briefly affixed in the spring of 1990 on the stained glass, preventing the ray from forming.
A disappearance which makes decidedly grind teeth since a Strasbourgeois, Julien Laurent, decided to launch a petition so that the green ray is restored. For him, "the green ray should benefit specifically from a classification and a protection as a historical monument, given its extraordinary aspect.
It must be said that this famous green ray has fueled polemics for years, between supporters of esoteric explanations and religious authorities, who only see the malicious and ingenious hand of the human being.
Devant l'émoi suscité par la disparition du fameux rayon vert visible durant les équinoxes au sein de la cathédrale de Strasbourg, la direction régionale des affaires culturelles s'est expliquée dans un communiqué : une patine réversible a été apposée sur le pied de Juda en attendant une restauration définitive du vitrail.
Devant l'indignation de bon nombre de personnes, la direction régionale des affaires culturelles du Grand Est (DRAC) s'est expliquée dans un communiqué concernant la disparition du fameux rayon vert de la cathédrale de Strasbourg.
"Une patine réversible a été apposée sur le verre transparent, en mars 2022, par la conservation régionale des monuments historiques au nom de l’État propriétaire de la cathédrale, en accord avec le clergé affectataire cultuel de l’édifice et la fondation de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame", a précisé la DRAC dans ce communiqué.
Une restauration complète du vitrail représentant Juda est prévue plus tard et devrait être confiée à un maître verrier. C'est la lumière du soleil, qui en traversant ce vitrail au niveau du pied de Juda, un des ancêtres du Christ, provoquait l'apparition d'un rayon vert deux fois par an lors des équinoxes d'automne et de printemps. Ce phénomène lumineux durait quelques minutes en fin de matinée et se répétait durant environ une semaine.
L'indignation du "découvreur" de ce rayon vert en 1972
Les vitraux de la cathédrale de Strasbourg, s'abîmant avec le temps, font régulièrement l'objet de restauration. Les derniers travaux entrepris par la DRAC concerne les vitraux situés au sud de l'édifice religieux. C'est dans ce cadre que le vitrail du rayon vert a été en partie restauré.
C'est d'ailleurs suite à une restauration datant de 1972, que le rayon vert est apparu pour la première fois. Le pied de Juda aurait été remplacé par un verre brut et donc transparent permettant le passage de la lumière. C'est un ingénieur-géomètre, Maurice Rosart qui a découvert le premier ce phénomène.
Ce dernier a d'ailleurs fait part de son profond mécontentement. "Cet acte est un mauvais coup porté aux Strasbourgeois, à la culture, à la laïcité, aux lumières", a-t-il déploré, rappelant qu'un cache avait déjà été brièvement apposé au printemps 1990 sur le vitrail, empêchant le rayon de se former.
Une disparition qui fait décidément grincer des dents puisqu'un Strasbourgeois, julien Laurent, a décidé de lancer une pétition pour que le rayon vert soit rétabli. Pour lui, le "rayon vert devrait bénéficier spécifiquement d'un classement et d'une protection au titre des monuments historiques, compte tenu de son aspect extraordinaire."
Il faut dire que ce fameux rayon vert alimente les polémiques depuis des années, entre partisans d'explications ésotériques et les autorités religieuses, qui n'y voient que la main malicieuse et ingénieuse de l'être humain.

He put an end to the rule of the Velanati Cholas in A.D.1210. He forced the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to accept his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion and encouraged trade.
As Ganapati Deva had no sons, his daughter Rudramba succeeded him in A.D.1262 and carried on the administration. Some generals, who did not like to be ruled by her, rebelled. She could, however, suppress the internal rebellions and external invasions with the help of loyal subordinates. The Cholas and the Yadavas suffered such set backs at her hands that they did not think of troubling her for the rest of her rule.
Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba in A.D.1295 and ruled till A.D.1323. He pushed the western border of his kingdom up to Raichur. He introduced many administrative reforms. He divided the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which was later adopted and developed by the Rayas of Vijayanagara. In his time the territory constituting Andhra Pradesh had the first experience of a Muslim invasion. In A.D.1303, the Delhi Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji sent an army to plunder the kingdom. But Prataparudra defeated them at Upparapalli in Karimnagar district. In A.D. 1310, when another army under Malik Kafur invaded Warangal, Prataparudra yielded and agreed to pay a large tribute. In A.D.1318, when Ala-ud-din Khilji died, Prataparudra withheld the tribute. It provoked another invasion of the Muslims. In A.D.1321, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country then called Tilling. He laid siege to Warangal, but owing to internal dissensions he called off the siege and returned to Delhi. Within a short period, he came back with a much bigger army. In spite of unpreparedness, Prataparudra fought bravely. For want of supplies, he surrendered to the enemy who sent him to Delhi as a prisoner, and he died on the way. Thus ended the Kakatiya rule, opening the gates of the Telugu land to anarchy and confusion yielding place to an alien ruler.
The Kakatiya period was rightly called the brightest period of the Telugu history. The entire Telugu speaking area was under the kings who spoke Telugu and encouraged Telugu. They established order throughout the strife torn land and the forts built by them played a dominant role in the defence of the realm. Anumakonda and Gandikota among the `giridurgas', Kandur and Narayanavanam among the `vanadurgas', Divi and Kolanu among the `jaladurgas', and Warangal and Dharanikota among the `sthaladurgas' were reckoned as the most famous strongholds in the Kakatiya period. The administration of the kingdom was organized with accent on the military.
Though Saivism continued to be the religion of the masses, intellectuals favoured revival of Vedic rituals. They sought to reconcile the Vaishnavites and the Saivites through the worship of Harihara. Arts and literature found patrons in the Kakatiyas and their feudatories.

A good wristwatch does more than tell time. Of course, many expensive watches can display the phases of the moon, the time of year, the precise second that just slipped away, and can even remind the wearer of an appointment. But the great ones complement your life, accessorize your wardrobe, becomes an heirloom to pass along to future generations and, as James Bond has taught us, in a tight spot become a very handy knuckleduster.
The thought of knocking out someone's teeth with $50,000 worth of watch wrapped around your fist might seem a bit extravagant. Watches in this price category are also works of art. They are exquisite mechanisms created by talented craftsmen who do the seemingly impossible with gold, diamonds, springs, gears, and tiny tools. If you ever wondered why the best Swiss watches cost so much, just imagine a microchip, and then imagine it was made by hand, and you begin to comprehend the layers of delicacy, skill, and precision we're talking about.
That is why at the top of the watch chain, so to speak, the price of a Swiss-made Patek Philippe or Breguet can equal and quickly surpass most Americans' annual salary. For those people fortunate enough to be able to afford one, or more, of these high-end timepieces, the decision on which one to buy is rarely just about how well it can tell time.
For many connoisseurs, what makes a watch desirable is the number of complications it can pack within its slender case. (Complications are mechanical functions of the watch other than the hours, minutes, and seconds.) The more complications, the more valuable the watch. In December, 1999, Sotheby's sold a watch with 24 complications for $11 million. The watch that holds the record for the most complications is a pocket watch Patek Philippe created in honor of their 150th anniversary in 1989. It has 33 complications including the date of Easter and a celestial chart with 2,800 stars.
Other watch fanciers are less enthusiastic about the complications than they

It's hard to be precise in matching the top photo, taken in 1965, because so much has changed. That photo was taken just before the Don Valley Parkway was constructed to just north of Sheppard Avenue, taking up the course of what was, at the time, Woodbine Avenue. My shot, at the bottom, was taken in 2010 and approximates the same view, to within a few dozen meters or so, give or take. These views face east towards Woodbine Avenue and the overpass over Hwy 404 respectively.
You stand to get an even better idea of just how much this intersection changed by clicking the map link in the "Additional Information" section on the right and selecting the satellite view.
Taken at Sanjeevaiah Park, Hyderabad, south of India. (Please check the map for precise information)

I BLACK WIZARD da Vancouver sono anzitutto una live band: scendono dal loro furgone degli anni Settanta solo per suonare e pisciare. Inutile cercare definizioni precise per il gruppo (stoner, doom, psych, heavy metal…) senza tener conto della componente retrò e garage della sua musica. I Black Wizard, infatti, abitano un passato ideale dove generi e sottogeneri dell’hard rock non sono ancora nati o - se proprio uno insiste - vanno ancora alle elementari (ma già fumano), per questo possiedono l’heaviness, ma anche l’immediatezza del vecchio rock’n’roll, e proprio per effetto di questo mix loro quattro sul palco sono imperdibili.
Bandcamp > goo.gl/mEJ5oG

I PASTOR, se potessero, come genere sceglierebbero direttamente “1971”, magari perché è l’anno del primo disco dei Pentagram. I patiti di certi suoni, infatti, nel sangue di questi austriaci troveranno quantitativi maggiori di doom (o proto-doom) rispetto a quelli che scorrono nelle vene dei Black Wizard, ma saranno d’accordo con tutti gli altri sul fatto che siamo di fronte a un’accoppiata ideale per un tour. Ne converrete pure voi. Vi aspettiamo.

BLACK WIZARD are a live band in every sense of the word, they leave their 70’s tour van only to perform or pee. No point in trying to label their music (stoner, doom, psych, heavy metal…) without taking into account its retrò and garage components. The band still lives in those blessed years when genres and subgenres of hard rock were yet to be born, combining both the heaviness and the directness of the old school rock’n’roll. In short, you don’t wanna miss these four on stage.
Bandcamp > goo.gl/mEJ5oG
PASTOR, if they could, would define their genre “1971”, perhaps because it’s the year when the first full length of Pentagram was released. Their sound, in fact, is characterized by more doom (or proto-doom) notes compared to that of Black Wizard, with two bands nevertheless marrying perfectly to result in an outstanding tour material. Come see yourself.

Precise temperature control requires temperature monitoring in close proximity to the sample. The easy-to-use thermocouple placement device reproducibly spot welds up to 3 thermocouples directly onto the sample for temperature resolutions of 0.05°C across the full temperature range. The welding current and time, the contact pressure, and the inert gas purge can be adjusted to endure a strong spot weld onto the sample.

Exercise PRECISE RESPONSE, is an annual chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) exercise hosted by Defence Research and Development Canada at Canadian Forces Base Suffield where the Canadian Armed Forces along with NATO allies and partner Nations can practice essential CBRN defence skills in a multinational training environment.
Warangal Fort, in the present-day Indian state of Telangana, appears to have existed since at least the 13th century CE. Although precise dating of its construction and subsequent enhancements are uncertain, historians and archaeologists generally accept that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva, who died in 1262, and that his successors – Rudramadevi and Prataparudra II – added to its height and added gateways, square bastions and additional circular earthern walls prior to the latter's death in 1323. This places the construction towards the end of the Kakatiya period. There were later modifications between the 15th and 17th centuries, comprising principally the addition of barbicans to the four gates in the stone wall and the creation of gates in the outer earthern wall.
Remnants of the structure can be seen today near to the town of Warangal, which was the Kakatiya capital. The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the remains as a Monument of National Importance.
_____________________________
The 12th and the 13th centuries saw the emergence of the Kakatiyas. They were at first the feudatories of the Western Chalukyas of Kalyana, ruling over a small territory near Warangal. A ruler of this dynasty, Prola II, who ruled from A.D.1110 to 1158, extended his sway to the south and declared his independence. His successor Rudra (A.D.1158--1195) pushed the kingdom to the north up to the Godavari delta. He built a fort at Warangal to serve as a second capital and faced the invasions of the Yadavas of Devagiri. The next ruler Mahadeva extended the kingdom to the coastal area. In A.D.1199, Ganapati succeeded him. He was the greatest of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Velanati Cholas in A.D.1210. He forced the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to accept his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion and encouraged trade.
As Ganapati Deva had no sons, his daughter Rudramba succeeded him in A.D.1262 and carried on the administration. Some generals, who did not like to be ruled by her, rebelled. She could, however, suppress the internal rebellions and external invasions with the help of loyal subordinates. The Cholas and the Yadavas suffered such set backs at her hands that they did not think of troubling her for the rest of her rule.
Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba in A.D.1295 and ruled till A.D.1323. He pushed the western border of his kingdom up to Raichur. He introduced many administrative reforms. He divided the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which was later adopted and developed by the Rayas of Vijayanagara. In his time the territory constituting Andhra Pradesh had the first experience of a Muslim invasion. In A.D.1303, the Delhi Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji sent an army to plunder the kingdom. But Prataparudra defeated them at Upparapalli in Karimnagar district. In A.D. 1310, when another army under Malik Kafur invaded Warangal, Prataparudra yielded and agreed to pay a large tribute. In A.D.1318, when Ala-ud-din Khilji died, Prataparudra withheld the tribute. It provoked another invasion of the Muslims. In A.D.1321, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country then called Tilling. He laid siege to Warangal, but owing to internal dissensions he called off the siege and returned to Delhi. Within a short period, he came back with a much bigger army. In spite of unpreparedness, Prataparudra fought bravely. For want of supplies, he surrendered to the enemy who sent him to Delhi as a prisoner, and he died on the way. Thus ended the Kakatiya rule, opening the gates of the Telugu land to anarchy and confusion yielding place to an alien ruler.
The Kakatiya period was rightly called the brightest period of the Telugu history. The entire Telugu speaking area was under the kings who spoke Telugu and encouraged Telugu. They established order throughout the strife torn land and the forts built by them played a dominant role in the defence of the realm. Anumakonda and Gandikota among the `giridurgas', Kandur and Narayanavanam among the `vanadurgas', Divi and Kolanu among the `jaladurgas', and Warangal and Dharanikota among the `sthaladurgas' were reckoned as the most famous strongholds in the Kakatiya period. The administration of the kingdom was organized with accent on the military.
Though Saivism continued to be the religion of the masses, intellectuals favoured revival of Vedic rituals. They sought to reconcile the Vaishnavites and the Saivites through the worship of Harihara. Arts and literature found patrons in the Kakatiyas and their feudatories.

What I've learned so far in my endeavor to practice precise piecing:
1) I am a lazy quilter. "close enough" is good enough to me. I must here apologize to anyone I've ever been in any sort of a bee with (Ima Bee'ers and Bitty Block Committee). You mean I have to DOUBLE pin?? As in 2 pins PER INTERSECTION rather than 0? (Although I did do the double pinning, like a good not-lazy quilter).
2) This little block (which will finish at 3 inches square) took me FOREVER to make and I am not too certain that it is much more precise than any other piecing I've done. Oops. I think I feel, once again, that "close enough" will do.
3) Starch is pretty awesome. I'd never really used it before this class. Now I feel empowered to take on my itty bitty pieces of Liberty Tana Lawn (which is what the floral is in this block). Thank you to all of the people who have sent me little bits!
4) Those of you who are precise piecers (Monica, I'm talking to you!!) are superheros! How do you ever get anything done? You (Monica!) crank out the projects and they are all precise and excellent! I am even more mightily impressed now.
5) When pressing seams open it does actually do to press rather than iron. I see now why people talk about pressing. When I put them all to one side (or in alternating directions on alternate rows), I can just drag the iron across to my heart's content. With open seams that makes quite a mess!
6) In order to sew with lightweight fabrics, one must change one's sewing machine needle once in a blue moon. Boy did I make a mess before I realized what the problem must be!

When was the world's first railway laid? No one is quite confident on a precise date but simple rails have been used to guide vehicles for centuries, definitely as far back as the middle ages and possibly even in ancient Greece.
What is certain is that in the early 1600s a Nottinghamshire businessman called Huntingdon Beaumont came to Northumberland and laid rails from collieries near Blyth to a shipping point on the coast.
His waggonway used horses hauling wooden waggons on wooden wheels on wooden rails, however this was not a financial success. It did though provide the spark of progression from primitive wooden rails over short distances, to a railway network which would change Britain and the world forever.
Tyneside Roads
From the mid 1600 onwards waggonways and the Tyneside coal industry became linked so closely that they were known throughout the rest of Britain as 'Tyneside Roads'. A network of lines linked collieries on both sides of the Tyne to the river.
It is no coincidence that the North East was the area where waggonways took greatest hold, because canal building was impossible due to deep valleys and steep hills. What set the rail systems of Tyneside apart from all others was its use of the flanged wheel - a key element of the modern railway as we know it.
A revelation
When the Tanfield Railway - or waggonway as it was known at the time - was built in 1725, it was a revelation. Its massive engineering was unlike anything else in its era, or even since the Roman Empire. It was a triumph of engineering over nature, a clear signal that a new industrial age was upon the world, and that railways would play a massive part.
First laid down more than a quarter of a century before the first railway officially sanctioned by government, over 75 years before the first steam locomotive and a whole 100 years earlier than the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest railway. We will be the first railway to celebrate our tricentenary in 2025.
