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.
WIKIPEDIA & WIKIMAPIA
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.

I had kind of a philosophical post today. I talk about my observations on the evolution of quilters. Read it here.
The Shwedagon Pagoda is the most famous Buddhist shrine in Myanmar, a national monument and the most revered religious complex in the country. It is also Yangon's most famous landmark and sits in a commanding hilltop position in the heart of the city. It is entered by gates on all four sides, each guarded by a pair of huge chinthe, from which a lengthy covered walkway ascends to the hilltop main stupa with it's surrounding complex of shrines.
The temple complex is truly stunning, with gilded finials and tabernacles in every direction, forming an extensive circuit around the base of the great golden stupa at it's heart. We had arrived rather late in the day, but still spent a few hours here after sunset; by night the tourists have mostly gone and been replaced by local devotees. We were the only Europeans there, and were made very welcome.
The central stupa is one of the largest ever built and was constructed originally to house relics of the Buddha, eight hairs to be precise which he had given to two Burmese merchant brothers who brought them back here. Thus according to this legend the site must have been occupied by a Buddhist shrine for over 2000 years, making it the oldest in all of Burma / Myanmar. The present stupa is however largely the result of rebuilding in the 14th century, and has been repaired many times since.
The name 'Shwe-dagon' literally means 'Great Dagon' Pagoda, referencing Yangon's earliest name of Dagon.

Woodrow Wilson Hall, formerly known as the Shadow Lawn mansion, was built in 1929 at a cost of $10.5 million as the private residence of former F.W. Woolworth Co. president Hubert Templeton Parson and his wife Maysie. Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer and his assistant Julian Abele, the first African-American professional architect, designed the mansion in the neoclassical French tradition. The construction incorporates limestone quarried in Bedford, Indiana (also used in the Empire State Building), steel, concrete, and 50 varieties of Italian marble.
The mansion stands upon the precise site of the original Shadow Lawn, which was destroyed by fire in 1927, soon after $1 million had been spent on its refurbishing. That former colonial frame structure contained 52 rooms and was built in 1903 for John A. McCall, former president of the New York Life Insurance Co.
It was later purchased by Joseph B. Greenhut, the head of Siegel, Cooper Co., a New York department store. Greenhut loaned the mansion to President Woodrow Wilson during the campaign of 1916 as the presidential summer home. Thereafter it was known as the Summer White House.
The current mansion fell under municipal ownership in the Depression, and later served as the site of a private girls' school until the University (then known as Monmouth College) acquired the property in 1956.
The mansion underwent extensive restoration in the 1980s, beginning in 1984 as part of Monmouth's 50th anniversary. Funding for the $770,000 project came from the McMurray-Bennett Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the State of New Jersey, and private contributions.
In 1978, along with the University's Guggenheim Memorial Library, Wilson Hall was entered in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1985, the U.S. Department of the Interior designated it a National Historic Landmark.
The building encompasses some 130 rooms on three main floors, plus rooftop and lower-level rooms. In the main portion, there are 96 rooms, which include what once were 17 master suites and 19 baths. Each of the baths was decorated and furnished in a different period and had gold-plated or silver-plated fixtures.
Covering the parquet floors were 60,000 square feet of carpeting and 146 rugs specially designed and loomed in Europe and Asia. It took four years to complete the order. A rug woven in the Canary Islands and measuring 24 feet by 93 feet covered the main floor of the Great Hall, also known as Haslam Slocum Hall.
Wilson Hall has been described in newspapers throughout the world, is featured in many books on architecture and art, and has been used as backdrop for innumerable print ads and television commercials. It also served as the setting for the 1982 film version of Annie.
Woodrow Wilson Hall is the administrative center of the University, though classes are still held in the building.
A more precise drawing showing the spiral paths through the "time" dimension (down=blue(-) and up=yellow(+)).
Wilbur's path:
> Red (+spacetime)
> Yellow (+timespace)
> Green (-spacetime)
> Blue (-timespace)
> Red (+spacetime) ... etc...
With this device Wilbur can "stop" his spacetime.
Like the Wilbur's racetrack, this drawing is also a Space-Time diagram where the horizontal axis represents space and the vertical axis represents time.
However, in this drawing the metric is different. The two "Timespace" axes are curved so in that part of the drawing, radial distance represents time and space goes "in and out" of the drawing (on the z-axis).
In both the spacetime and timespace diagrams, proper time (the time Wilbur sees on his clock) is represented by the length of the line he follows as he traverses the 4 helical spiral paths.
A stationary observer's clock rate (as seen by Wilbur) is represented by the pitch angle of his helical path through the Spacetime Trumpet.
About fifty years earlier to be precise. It started off as a not very well partially made Will's white metal kit. I more or less had to desconstruct it then rebuild it from scratch. It was designed to be mounted on a Triang Brittania chassis. So I bought one second hand (cheapskate) and bingo a Peppercorn A1.
The Peppercorn A1 and A2's never really captured the enthusiast imagination as did Gresley's stuff. But from a traffic point of view they were very reliable and certainly clocked up the miles. Some of them exceding one million miles within about twelve years.LMS affictionados will try and tell you the mileages were fiddled, but they weren't. They were calculated on drivers' tickets which they filled in at the end of every shift, so their pay could be calculated. But a record was also kept of which engine they had used and it was then added to its mileage record. I know this because I was employed as a clerk at York MPD, when I first joined the railway and that was what we did.
Luckily there are two preseved Peppercorns in existance, the new build A1 Tornado and the A2 Blue Peter, although IMHO I think it doubtful the latter will ever run again.

Spinach & Ricotta Vegetable Lasagna
I'm not terribly precise with my measuring, but it doesn't really matter with this! You really can't go wrong.
3 sheets of fresh lasagna (or however much you need to cover your pan. I usually use a standard lasagna pan.)
Mozzarella cheese
500g ricotta cheese
Milk
1 bunch of english spinach
1 tablespoon of fresh basil
carrots
mushrooms
zucchini
red and green capsicum
and you could add celery, broccoli or anything else.
lentils (I used a 400g can for convenience this time)
1 500g jar of a tomato based pasta sauce
a tablespoon of olive oil
1/2 an onion, diced
1 clove of crushed garlic
Heat oil in a large saucepan/fry pan/ wok. Add onions and garlic and stir until onion is softened. Add all other vegetables (except the spinach) and saute until they're cooked. Stir in lentil and pasta sauce.
Meanwhile, after thoroughly rinsing the spinach, steam it until it starts to wilt. Then, rinse it with cold water and drain, squeeze out the excess water and chop.
Put the ricotta in a bowl and mix with enough milk to make a sauce like consistency. Add basil and spinach and stir.
Spread a layer of the vegetable mix in the bottom of the baking pan and cover with lasagna sheets. Spread the top with a layer of the ricotta and spinach mixture and sprinkle with grated mozzarella. Repeat until you finish with a top layer of ricotta and spinach and cover well with mozzarella.
Bake at 180oC for 30 minutes.

Luca Signorelli. GOULD, Stephen Jay (1997). Questioning the Millennium. A Rationalist's Guide to Precisely Arbitrary Countdown. Harmony Books, New York. ISBN 0-609-60076-1
---
Luca Signorelli (c. 1445 – 16 October 1523) was an Italian Renaissance painter who was noted in particular for his ability as a draughtsman and his use of foreshortening. His massive frescoes of the Last Judgment (1499–1503) in Orvieto Cathedral are considered his masterpiece.
He was born Luca d'Egidio di Ventura in Cortona, Tuscany (some sources call him Luca da Cortona). The precise date of his birth is uncertain; birth dates of 1441–1445 are proposed. He died in 1523 in Cortona, where he is buried. He was perhaps eighty-two years old. He is considered to be part of the Tuscan school, although he also worked extensively in Umbria and Rome.
His first impressions of art seem to be due to Perugia — the style of Benedetto Bonfigli, Fiorenzo di Lorenzo and Pinturicchio. Lazzaro Vasari, the great-grandfather of art historian Giorgio Vasari, was brother to Luca's mother; according to Giorgio Vasari he got Luca apprenticed to Piero della Francesca. In 1472 the young man was painting at Arezzo, and in 1474 at Città di Castello. He presented to Lorenzo de' Medici a picture which is probably the one named the School of Pan. Janet Ross and her husband Henry discovered the painting in Florence circa 1870 and subsequently sold it to the Kaiser Frederick Museum in Berlin. The painting was destroyed by allied bombs in WWII. The painting's subject is almost the same as that which he also painted on the wall of the Petrucci palace in Siena—the principal figures being Pan himself, Olympus, Echo, a man reclining on the ground and two listening shepherds.
He executed, moreover, various sacred pictures, showing a study of Botticelli and Lippo Lippi. Pope Sixtus IV commissioned Signorelli to paint some frescoes, now mostly very dim, in the shrine of Loreto—Angels, Doctors of the Church, Evangelists, Apostles, the Incredulity of Thomas and the Conversion of St Paul. He also executed a single fresco in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, the Testament and Death of Moses, although most of it has been attributed to Bartolomeo della Gatta; another, the Moses Leaving to Egypt, once ascribed to Signorelli, is now recognized as the work of Perugino and other assistants.
Signorelli worked in Rome from 1478 to 1484. In the latter year he returned to his native Cortona, which remained from this time his home. In the Monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore (Siena) he painted eight frescoes, forming part of a vast series of the life of St. Benedict; they are at present much injured. In the palace of Pandolfo Petrucci he worked upon various classic or mythological subjects, including the School of Pan already mentioned.
From the Monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore near Siena, Signorelli went to Orvieto, and produced his masterpiece, the frescoes in the chapel of S. Brizio (then called the Cappella Nuova), in the cathedral.
The Cappella Nuova already contained two groups of images in the vaulting over the altar, the Judging Christ and the Prophets, by Fra Angelico, who had begun the murals fifty years earlier. The works of Signorelli in the vaults and on the upper walls represent the events surrounding the Apocalypse and the Last Judgment. The events of the Apocalypse fill the space which surrounds the entrance into the large chapel.
The Apocalyptic events begin with the Preaching of Antichrist, and proceed to the Doomsday and The Resurrection of the Flesh. They occupy three vast lunettes, each of them a single continuous narrative composition. In one of them, Antichrist, after his portents and impious glories, falls headlong from the sky, crashing down into an innumerable crowd of men and women.
The events of the Last Judgment fill the facing vault and the walls around the altar: Paradise, the Elect and the Condemned, Hell, the Resurrection of the Dead, and the Destruction of the Reprobate.
To Angelico's ceiling, which contained the Judging Christ and the Prophets led by John the Baptist, Signorelli added the Madonna leading the Apostles, the Patriarchs, Doctors of the Church, Martyrs, and Virgins. The unifying factor of the paintings is found in the scripture readings in the Roman liturgies for the Feast of All Saints and Advent.
Stylistically, the daring and terrible inventions, with their powerful treatment of the nude and arduous foreshortenings, were striking in its day. Michelangelo is claimed to have borrowed, in his own fresco at the Sistine Chapel wall, some of Signorelli's figures or combinations. The decoration of the lower walls, unprecedented in the history of art, are richly decorated with a great deal of subsidiary work connected with Dante, specifically the first eleven books of his Purgatorio, and with the poets and legends of antiquity. A Pietà composition in a niche in the lower wall contains explicit references to two important Orvietan martyr saints, S. Pietro Parenzo and S. Faustino, in the centuries preceding the execution of the lunette paintings.
The contract for Signorelli's work is still on record in the archives of the Cathedral of Orvieto. He undertook on April 5, 1499 to complete the ceiling for 200 ducats, and to paint the walls for 600, along with lodging, and in every month two measures of wine and two quarters of corn. The contract directed Signorelli to consult the Masters of the Sacred Page for theological matters. This is the first such recorded instance of an artist receiving theological advice, although art historians believe the two groups routinely discussed such matters. Signorelli's first stay in Orvieto lasted not more than two years. In 1502 he returned to Cortona. He returned to Orvieto and continued the lower walls. He painted a dead Christ, with Mary Magdalen and the Virgin Mary and the martyrs local Saints Pietro Parenzo and Faustino.The figure of the dead Christ, according to Vasari, is the image of Signorelli's son Antonio, who died from the plague during the course of the execution of the paintings.
After finishing the frecoes at Orvieto, Signorelli was often in Siena. In 1507 he executed a great altarpiece for S. Medardo at Arcevia in the Marche, the Madonna and Child, with the Massacre of the Innocents and other episodes.
In 1508 Pope Julius II summoned artists to Rome, including Signorelli, Perugino, Pinturicchio and Il Sodoma to paint the large rooms in the Vatican Palace. They began work, but soon the pope dismissed all to make way for Raphael. Their work was taken down, except for the ceiling in the Stanza della Segnatura. Luca returned to Siena, but mostly lived in his hometown of Cortona. He was constantly at work, but the products of his closing years were not of the quality of his works from 1490–1505.
In 1520 Signorelli went with one of his pictures to Arezzo. He was partially paralysed when he began a fresco of the Baptism of Christ in the chapel of Cardinal Passerini's palace near Cortona, which (or else a Coronation of the Virgin at Foiano) is the last picture specified as his . Signorelli stood in great repute as a citizen; he entered the magistracy of Cortona as early as 1488, and held a leading position by 1524 when he died.
Signorelli paid great attention to anatomy. It is said that he carried on his studies in burial grounds. Certainly his mastery of the human form indicates that he had performed dissections. He surpassed contemporaries in showing the structure and mechanism of the nude in immediate action; and he even went beyond nature in experiments of this kind, trying hypothetical attitudes and combinations. His drawings in the Louvre demonstrate this and bear a close analogy to the method of Michelangelo. He aimed at powerful truth rather than nobility of form; colour was comparatively neglected, and his chiaroscuro exhibits sharp oppositions of lights and shadows. He had a vast influence over the painters of his own and of succeeding times, but had no pupils or assistants of high repute; one of them was a nephew named Francesco.
Vasari, who claimed Signorelli as a relative, described him as kindly, and a family man, and said that he always lived more like a nobleman than a painter. Vasari included Signorelli's portrait, one of seven, in his study in Arezzo, along with Michelangelo and himself. The Torrigiani Gallery in Florence contains a grand life-sized portrait by Signorelli of a man in a red cap and vest, and corresponds with Vasari's observation. In the National Gallery, London, are the Circumcision of Jesus and three other works. Legend holds that Signorelli depicted himself in the left foreground of his Orvietan mural The Rule of Antichrist. Fra Angelico, his predecessor in the Orvieto cycle, is thought to stand behind him in the piece. However, the figure thought to be Fra Angelico is not dressed as a Dominican friar, and Signorelli's supposed portrait does not match that in Vasari's study (Wikipedia).

To perhaps be a little more precise, maybe I should have titled it Eastern Coyote. But the strain that we have here in Newfoundland is claimed to be different from the Eastern Coyote ... larger and with perhaps some wolf DNA thrown in for good measure ... in other words, a hybrid. Who knows? The only thing I know is, I've been looking for a shot of these critters for some time now and I've finally got a half decent one. It was taken at 8:43 PM, though, and the light was failing, so there's still room for improvement. :-) I've seen them a number of times before ... some even quite close, but never had time to get a shot. I've even 'hunted' them with a call ... without much success.
The coyote is not native to Newfoundland and theories abound as to how they got here. Some even claim our Newfoundland government, in their inestimable widsom, surreptiously introduced this species to keep down the moose population. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that were true ... after all, they did introduce the moose back in 1904 and we all know what a problem that turned out to be. Also, in 1958,they introduced the Masked Shrew hoping that it would prove to be a check on the larch sawfly, a forest pest. If they did introduce the coyote to keep down the moose population, it certainly backfired on them, though. Because it's not the moose that's suffering as a result of their presence, but rather our native Woodland Caribou. These pests are responsible for killing large numbers of them.
Most likely though they introduced themselves to this island province ... crossing over from Labrador on the pack ice which fills the Strait of Belle Isle in the wintertime. That body of water is only twelve miles wide at its shortest point, so it's not much of a stretch to see that happening.
We also have the wolf here now, too. So, it's anybody's guess how that got here. The wolf, after all, is said to be a significant predator of the coyote where their ranges overlap.
T-72M1 (E1994.6) - After World War 2 Soviet tanks developed along logical traditional lines. In 1960 work began on a new design, the T-64, which incorporated many revoluntionary and untried features but it was not a great success and in 1970 the prototype of T-72 appeared, which could be described as a simplified version of T-64.
In 1995 production was estimated at around 25,000 tanks, although this included licence built versions from India, Poland, Romania, the former Czechosolvakia and Yugoslavia. Our exhibit was in service with the former East German Army; it is the model T-72M which was produced for export only. Tanks of this type were employed by the Iraqi Republican Guard during the Gulf War (1991), by the Syrian Army in Lebanon, by various elements in the former Yugoslavia and, of course, in Chechnya.
The striking feature of T-72 is the low profile. This is achieved by careful design but in particular by the elimination of the loader who, because he has to work standing up, largely dictates the height of a tank. He is replaced in this vehicle by an auto-loader, which can feed the gun at any angle with a separate projectile and charge case. The ammunition is arranged around the turret rather like the carousel of a slide projector. Ammunition stowage is limited, the rounds are unprotected so there is a high fire risk, the mechanical equipment is prone to break down and the rate of fire, due to the action of the auto-loader, is slow.
Precise Name: Main Battle Tank T72M1
Other Name: Obiekt 172M-1, Ural
The T72 is the most widely used main battle tank in the world. It has been manufactured in six countries, is in service with the armies of 35 nations and has fought in all the major wars of the last 20 years.
In 1967 the Soviet Army adopted the T64 Main Battle Tank as its future standard tank. The most revolutionary aspect of the new tank was the use of an auto-loader to feed its 115mm smooth bore gun. The T64 was very complex and very expensive; characteristics that made it unsuitable for export to the Soviet Union’s allies. Moreover the T64’s high cost would limit the number of tanks that could be bought and worse, the early versions proved unreliable.
The Vagonka Design Bureau was running out of work as T62 development finished. Its leader, Leonid Kartsev, persuaded the Minister responsible for tank production to allow him to modify the T64 and also to permit the Vagonka Bureau to build six prototypes. This decision was made without reference to the Main Armour Administration in the Soviet Defence Ministry who were supposed to control tank policy! The revised tank, Obiekt 172, had a new, more reliable, Vagonka auto-loader, a 125mm gun, a redesigned suspension and a new engine and power train.n.Obiekt 172 tanks were tested during 1968-70. Following modifications Kartsev’s new tank was accepted as the T72 in 1971. This was a compromise between the advocates of the T64 and those who wanted a cheaper tank that could be bought in large numbers. It gave the Soviet Army a ‘high/low mix’ of vehicles: the T64 at the high end would equip first echelon units in East Germany, the low end T72 would go to the follow up forces and for export. The adoption of the T72 also kept the Vagonka Bureau in business.

The Ravine Bluffs bridge in one of only two freestanding built bridges designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Originally constructed in 1915, the bridge today is a precise replica. Wright designed the bridge to replace a swinging footbridge and serve as an entry to the Sherman Booth house and Ravine Bluffs housing development. Although the bridge is a unique example of Wright's work, many of its elements are reminiscent of his Prairie School architecture: strong horizontal lines, planting urns and build-in seating for pedestrians. The cantilevered sidewalk and innovative use of cast-in-place concrete are other Wright trademarks. Three unusual sculptures mark the boundaries of the Ravine Bluffs subdivision. Wright's characteristic use of geometric shapes is evident in the market's large spherical planters and interlocking rectangles. The marker at Meadow and Franklin streets is original- the other two have had some restoration. The Ravine Bluffs subdivision was designed by Wright from a commission by Booth. The subdivision includes six Prairie School homes, the bridge and the three sculptures.
The Glencoe Historical and Architectural Survey was commissioned in 1985 by the Glencoe Historical Society to identify Glencoe's significant homes and structures. It was done by architectural historian Susan Benjamin of Highland Park, IL. 300 homes and structures were identified based on their 1) historic significance, 2) architectural style or 3) architect. 40 are designated landmarks.

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 west towards Woodbine Avenue and the overpass over Hwy 404 respectively. Incidental: notice the price of gas in 1965: 42.9¢ a gallon. We no longer sell gas in gallons; however, on the day I took the lower shot, January 9, 2010, gas was selling locally for $1.007 a liter. There are 4.546 liters in an imperial gallon, which yields a price per gallon in January, 2010, of $4.578 a gallon.

Christ Church, Ipswich, Suffolk
This fine Victorian building is part of the busy life of central Ipswich. To be more precise, this is really a collection of buildings, what was known in the 19th Century as 'an ecclesiastical village'. Perhaps the most well-known of these is the red brick former school, at the western end of the site, which appears to be in pretty much constant use. I know it well from dropping my daughter off for brownies. Secluded at the back of the site is that rare thing, an urban non-conformist graveyard.
The church is today known as Christ Church, and if you look at the noticeboard you will see that its denomination is Baptist/URC. In fact, this building is now the home of several former Ipswich congregations, who have made their way here as their numbers shrunk, and they sold out and moved in here. Most of the other churches are now lost to us, and so this building survives as a memory of our Ipswich non-conformist forebears.
The frontage on to Tacket Street is rather clumsy, the stubby towers appearing to serve no purpose. In fact, if you had come this way before the 1970s you would have seen them surmounted by elegant spires, but these have now gone. It would be good to see them back, although understandably aesthetics are generally not a priority of non-conformist congregations. When the building was opened in January 1858, it was as the home of Tacket Street Congregational Church. But, in fact, it was not the first church on the site. Tacket Street is an ancient street - in medieval times it was home to the town house of the Wingfields, the last remnant of that building being shamefully demolished as recently as the 1990s. Congregationalists had established their first building on this site in the 1680s, at the time of the Act of Toleration, which allowed freedom of worship to all British citizens (as long as they were not Catholics, of course). The need for a new church was a symptom of the triumph of Congregationalism over other non-conformist denominations in East Anglian towns in the middle years of the 19th Century.
During the course of the next century and a half, Tacket Street Congregational established itself as the main focus of Congregationalism in what was its natural habitat, a busy working class industrial town. The building was extended eastwards towards its near neighbour St Pancras at the start of the 20th Century. But after the Second World War, the attractions of liberal non-conformism began to pale, and so other congregations jumped ship to here - there was the tiny rump of Ipswich Presbyterians, leaving Portman Road church to enter the new United Reformed church via the back door of Tacket Street, and the shrinking congregations of Crown Street Congregational, a fine Grecian building demolished for offices, and, more controversially, Turret Green Baptist church. Because of the arrival of the Baptists, Tacket Street Congregational was renamed Christ Church, but the Baptists who come here must be fairly liberal souls in comparison with the militancy of many of their compatriots in Ipswich's thriving Baptist churches.
Along with the interior of St Clement's Congregational church a few hundred metres away, the interior of Christ Church must be one of Ipswich's best kept secrets. It is magnificent. Best of all, the pews of the 1850s have survived (you can see where the organ used to be at the front, before it was moved further east). The grand pulpit of the earlier church survives, carved with fruit and flowers in the Grindling Gibbons style. It has a lockable door at the back to prevent excitable ministers from falling backwards down the steps.
I am told that there is a case being made by some members of the church to replace the numbered pews with modern chairs, but this should be greatly resisted. The pews here are one of the best examples of the work of the decade in all England. The gallery is superb - the best of any 19th Century church in Suffolk. In the 1970s, the interior was redecorated in vibrant whites and blues. The lady who showed me around regretted this, but I thought it had been done extremely well - the white paint of the gallery and roofs creates a feeling of light and space that is entirely successful, and unfamiliar. The congregation here should be proud of what they have done to maintain this building into the 21st Century.
The other day something sad happened.
I know this is meant to be precise recording of my daily activities but it has taken me a couple of days to process what I really wanted to say.
For those of you who have been following this little adventure will remember that in February I mentioned that there was this little stray cat that made it's way into the factory complex I am in.
He/She was rather sickly when we first met. I decided to take on the task of occasionally giving it some food whenever I saw it.
Over the weeks that passed Bella decided that the best name to give it was Dom. It came from a number of conversations where I would often be a little despondent about the fact that I was spending sometimes my last bit of coin to buy food for the cat, and it would eat it and walk off. I would often feel a little rejected that the cat didn't stick around, even though I made, by this point, a really active decision to feed it the best I could.
The name came from the Michael Jackson's track "D.S."
The lyric "Dom Sheldon is a cold man" was kinda fitting to my feelings with the cat, that I would be the one that would feed it, yet also be the one that would have to watch it run away.
The shot above is the two little white plates I served food on, one was meat, one was dry food.
The plastic container was half for milk and the other half for water.
Over the period of this 365 there were a few shoots that I did out side and it was like the cat was a photographer in a past life… it would in the early days perch itself out of the back of one of the many trucks around here… just observing.
I would look back and see this little head fixed on every thing I was doing.
As time went on and I was going through a rather rough patch and couldn't see the beauty in any thing, I remember one of the shots I was not getting the right light, I was getting frustrated… and when I get frustrated I kinda like to curse.
I look over and see Dom, and there it was… sitting in the perfect sunlight to take the shot.
Like always I would thank the cat, and it would do it's thing by running away.
It was like that.
It was never touched by a human and just didn't know what to think of this 6"2" idiot gawking over it.
As time passed and I would sit outside drawing sketches it would come and sit around me.
Just staring at me.
It would always stay it's mandatory 3 feet away…
But, I would talk to it and ask it questions.
It must of thought I was a nutter.
Anyways, as time passed and I fed it and it kept me company in the only way it knew.
It began to teach me something.
It taught me that our expectations on how another person should return love, was just that, our own perceptions.
We are brought up by what ever means and along the way it is often ingrained that a certain "quid pro quo" deal comes with any relationship.
You do something, you have an expectation based on your perception of what you should receive in return.
When it fails, then you question why you continue with your deliverance actions, if your receiving expectations are not met.
Can I just say, that this is something I am learning to change in myself.
Because what we expect to get out of a relationship, can often be the demise of actually learning anything from the relationship.
I see a lot of people expecting quotas to be met, or they walk.
They have a glass and if it is not filled in the ways they like it, then they move on to someone or something that does make them feel that sense of completeness.
I learnt from my relationship from Dom, that if I was to do that and expect him to turn around and say "Ok dude, you are feeding me, I am now yours. You can call me your cat, we can pat a couple of times in the day, and then we can go about our daily lives… you know what… lets have a formulated routine… sound good?"
You know what?
No it doesn't.
How are you expected to see a person shine, a person grow, a person evolve if your preconceived expectations are placed on them?
Isn't it better to see them be themselves and you find the beauty in the structure that is the fact that you have a bond?
That you might get along in one way, and that allowing them to be themselves, helps you grow.
You see them shoot across the sky and you can say… you know what? I know that person, and I respect them to the utmost degree?
Society and what programs it doesn't teach you that. It is more of a "get what you need, or move on" sort of approach.
Well, little mate Dom, you have successfully taught me the other.
I may of never got to fall asleep whilst watching a movie and have you purring at the end of the bed.
But, your little trends and idiosyncrasies really made me happy.
When you would see the car pull in… you would lift your head, look over and give me a look that would say "I will be over when I have finished soaking in this direct sunlight".
That to me is respect.
That to me is understanding.
It is not an easy start, but by God, it pays off.
So anyways, back to the beginning
The other night I was sitting there like every night… and Dom was late.
It started to bother me, as I hadn't seen him for most part of the day, and that was a little strange… cause usually in the morning it really wanted breakfast.
After about an hour of waiting and writing some notes, I hear this clanking… I get up, and walk around looking for the noise.
It was Dom.
It was walking 3 steps and falling over.
It would get back up and walk 3 more steps and collapse.
I walked over to it…
I then noticed it had been struck by something. It's hind leg was dangling like a tea bag.
It looked up at me… and was crying.
I fed it, then wrapped it up.
For the first time it purred when I patted it.
It's swelling was getting worse.
I ran upstairs to call a vet… thinking that would be the normal thing to do.
By the time I had gotten back down, Dom was gone.
The clothe shaken off… Dom had disappeared into the night.
Never to be seen again.
I spose that's the life it knew. It was the way it knew how to deal with it's present situation.
I have to respect that.
So, this shot goes out to Dom. Thank you for all you taught me.
I miss you terribly…
but I loved that you always were yourself. You made me mad. You made me happy. You have made me sad.
You taught me a valuable lesson in understanding.
Thank you little cat.
I love you.
Ryan.
