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.

Atten 402
On two previous occasions i have got within touching distance of visiting Borough Park. To be precise it was 2.5 miles in 2013 and just two months ago only 2 miles. All this after many years of wanting to visit this historic non league ground. Well today i finally made it. I arrived in glorious Cumbrian sunshine only to see it looking fantastic.
The superb welcome given by the Clubs Officials made you feel at home immediately.
Borough Park is dripping in history. During the 1957/58 season they played the great Manchester United team known as the Busby Babes at home in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, attracting a record crowd of 21,000. This was just a month before eight of the United players lost their lives in the Munich air disaster, the same room a Frickley changed in today.
There are plenty of reminders of former manager Bill Shankly hanging proudly in the lounge. There is also plenty of fantastic steep terracing and spacious stands. I can only imagine what it would feel like to attend a big occasion night game here under the lights with a full house cheering the Reds on.
Frickley played really well, carrying on from their midweek thrashing of FCUM. In fact they they should have won it with three excellent chances in the last ten minutes, best of all the half-volley miss by goal machine Allott. It was just inches wide from sealing all three points for the team from the Yorkshire pit village.
Yes it has been a very long wait to visit Borough Park but it has been well worth it. Shame i did not have enough time to visit Workington Town Rugby League Club across the road, as it looks a fantastic ground. Not a problem really, as it gives me an excuse to return ...... as long as they call me "marra".
Ron Moore hand-cuts tiny pieces in a neat, precise geometric style. He uses his mathematical & computer skills to create and deform a complex geometric grid which he uses as a cutting template. With selected images, such as this blue & white chrysanthemum Japanese origami paper, he can make puzzles of tailored difficulty. Ron includes his signature turtle piece at the centre of his circular puzzles.
www.turtleteasers.com/html/body_puzzles.html
Top Left & Lower Left: Turtleteasers 151pc Blue Chrysanthemums, 6in diameter 2012. Received by Terry Walters at the 2012 Pagey Elliott Puzzle Exchange. You can see that the jigsaw is divided into six segments, but the cutting is fairly uniform across them.
Top Right: Turtleteasers 55pc Blue Chrysanthemum, 4in diameter. This doesn't seem to have been divided into segments, but worked in rings. (Post script - looking closer I can see the segments!)
Centre Right: Turtleteasers 151pc Blue Chrysanthemum, 6in diameter cut May 2017. This example has more obvious pie slices or six segments which change as you go around the circle, the piece shapes morphing into each other. The pieces are more varied and distinctive making the jigsaw easier to do.
Lower Right: Turtleteasers 292pc Peacock Plate, 8in diameter cut May 2016. Another jigsaw which varies across the six segments.

John Stokes page linking his reviews of all the 2012 PEPE jigsaws:
www.custompuzzlecraft.com/PuzzleMakers/2012puzzleexchange...
John Stokes says: "I found Japanese Blue Chrysanthemums to be by far the most difficult of the non-trick Parley Exchange puzzles to assemble. Took me several hours in the wee of the night to do it. This particular puzzle is basically just blue and white and since the pieces are small I found for some areas of the puzzle, the fairly uniform distribution of white and blue on the pieces made it very difficult to find a matching piece by color alone, rather I had to focus on the shape. Adding injury to insult (lol), Ron wrote: You were fortunate in that from your email I can deduce that you had one of the "easy" ones. The easy puzzles had quite a variety of piece shapes, specifically there were 4 distinct edge cuts, plus their inverses. The difficult versions had a single type of edge cut (plus the single inverse), so they were quite a bit more tricky. For someone who wants a nice difficult puzzle to solve, this one is for you."
I can confirm that this 151pc jigsaw is indeed very difficult! It took me three or four sessions, and I think it is probably more difficult than the larger 8in diameter puzzle I own, which you can see above. I think it is also one of the less difficult versions of the puzzle - there being several different edge piece shapes.
Grâce à un collègue qui a vanté mes photos à une de ses amies, je vais bientôt exposer quelques clichés dans une médiathèque du Tarn et Garonne. Une autre expérience de rencontres avec des gens peut-être moins amateurs de photos que les Flickériens. Mises sous cadre, film de protection, je suis presque prêt.

What makes Rachel happy? Food and cooking it. Scallops to be precise, but really any opportunity to cook for her partner and/or friends. Apparently, she also has a wicked garden.
I saw Rachel at my usual Sunday morning coffee shop and was immediately struck by the colour of her sweater against the red brick wall behind her. When I went over to introduce myself, I saw the colour of her eyes and knew that this would be perfect. As somebody who tends to favour B&W images, I'm finding that I'm also spending more time looking for successful colour combinations than I usually do. Yet another side benefit/area of improvement that I'm discovering with this. As of Jan 8, this is still my favourite shot of the entire series; the colour, the expression, and the lighting. I've got my work cut out to to top this one.
The sweater comes from Banana Republic and we shared a few minutes talking about how it was one of the few places where she, as a tall woman and I, as a small man, could both find clothes that fit relatively well off the rack.

EXHIBITION
100 Best Posters 14
GERMANY, AUSTRIA, SWITZERLAND
MI, MO 11/11/2015, 03/28/2016
MAK Art Print Hall
Already for the tenth time, the MAK in the exhibition 100 Best Posters 14. Germany Austria Switzerland shows the hundred most compelling design concepts in the probably hottest medium of visual everyday culture: the poster. The current winning projects of the popular graphic design competition are characterized by an enigmatic pictural humor, explosive colors as well as precise designs and demonstrate impressively that a poster can be more than just an banal advertising space. Many of the award-winning works furthermore also rely on a subtle play with typography. Innovative ideas can also be found in the manufacturing process: This year's competition shows that you can readily knit posters in high-tech process or use a thermo-insulating space blanket as carrier material for screen printing.
Hardly any medium is such clocked on the consumption and nevertheless sets trends at the cutting edge. "[...] The poster designer challenges himself repeatedly and enjoys himself at gained symbols." Says Götz Gramlich, President of the association 100 Best Posters eV, and he postulats. "A good poster unfolds in the mind of the beholder."
From over 1 800 submitted individual posters, composed of contract work, self-initiated posters/self-promotion as well as student project orders from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, awarded the international jury, consisting of Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Chairman), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) and Ariane Spanier (Berlin), the 100 winning posters of the year 2014.
In the competition participated 575 submitters (men and women), of which 48 are from Austria, 128 from Switzerland and 399 from Germany. The leader among the winning 100 best is Switzerland with 51 winning projects, followed by 44 German and 5 Austrian contributions.
The by sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig and Florian Koch, Vienna) designed catalog offers in addition to the illustrations of all the winning posters and the contacts with the designers also this year a captivating essay by Thomas Friedrich: On the dialectics of image and text in the poster today. In a concise way, he looks at the contextuality of posters and explains the theme facetiously and pictorially based on a poster for a bullfight. Read more in the catalog!
For the corporate design of this year's competition and the new Web Visuals also sensomatic design, Vienna, is responsible. Since June 2014, the new online archive on the homepage of the 100 Best Posters Registered Association offers a comprehensive overview of all award-winning works from the years 2001-2014.
The exhibition takes place in cooperation with 100 Best Posters e. V.

MAK-KUNSTBLÄTTERSAAL
Bereits zum zehnten Mal zeigt das MAK in der Ausstellung 100 BESTE PLAKATE 14. Deutschland Österreich Schweiz die einhundert überzeugendsten Gestaltungskonzepte im wohl heißesten Medium der visuellen Alltagskultur: dem Plakat. Die aktuellen Siegerprojekte des beliebten Grafikdesignwettbewerbs bestechen mit hintergründigem Bildwitz, explosiver Farbgebung sowie exakten Ausführungen und demonstrieren eindrücklich, dass ein Plakat mehr als nur banale Werbefläche sein kann. Viele der prämierten Arbeiten setzen außerdem auf ein subtiles Spiel mit Typografie. Innovative Ideen finden sich auch im Herstellungsprozess: Der diesjährige Wettbewerb zeigt, dass man Plakate ohne Weiteres im Hightech-Verfahren stricken oder eine thermo-isolierende Rettungsdecke als Trägermaterial für einen Siebdruck verwenden kann.
Kaum ein Medium ist derart auf den Verbrauch hin getaktet und setzt dennoch Trends am Puls der Zeit. „[…] der Plakatgestalter fordert sich immer wieder selbst heraus und erfreut sich an gewonnenen Sinnbildern.“ so Götz Gramlich, Präsident des Vereins 100 Beste Plakate e. V., und er postuliert: „Ein gutes Plakat entfaltet sich im Kopf des Betrachters.“
Aus über 1 800 eingereichten Einzelplakaten, zusammengesetzt aus Auftragsarbeiten, selbst initiierten Plakaten/Eigenwerbungen sowie studentischen Projektaufträgen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, prämierte die international besetzte Fachjury, bestehend aus Richard van der Laken (Amsterdam, Vorsitz), Christof Nardin (Wien), Jiri Oplatek (Basel), Nicolaus Ott (Berlin) und Ariane Spanier (Berlin), die 100 Siegerplakate des Jahres 2014.
Am Wettbewerb hatten sich 575 EinreicherInnen beteiligt, davon 48 aus Österreich, 128 aus der Schweiz und 399 aus Deutschland. Spitzenreiter unter den prämierten 100 Besten ist die Schweiz mit 51 Siegerprojekten, gefolgt von 44 deutschen und 5 österreichischen Beiträgen.
Der von sensomatic design (Christine Zmölnig und Florian Koch, Wien) gestaltete Katalog bietet neben den Abbildungen aller Siegerplakate und den Kontakten zu den GestalterInnen auch dieses Jahr einen bestechenden Aufsatz von Thomas Friedrich: Zur Dialektik von Bild und Text im Plakat heute. In pointierter Form geht er auf die Kontextualität von Plakaten ein und erklärt das Thema witzig und bildhaft anhand eines Plakats für einen Stierkampf. Mehr dazu im Katalog!
Für das Corporate Design des diesjährigen Wettbewerbs und die neuen Web-Visuals zeichnet ebenfalls sensomatic design, Wien, verantwortlich. Seit Juni 2014 bietet das neue Online-Archiv auf der Homepage der 100 Beste Plakate e. V. einen umfassenden Überblick aller prämierten Arbeiten aus den Jahren 2001 bis 2014.
Die Ausstellung findet in Kooperation mit 100 Beste Plakate e. V. statt.

After witnessing a mortal goring by Hemingway, calling it a tragedy, he ads the word "moral" when asked to describe he goes: "So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral, is what you feel good "after" and what is immoral is what you feel bad after and judged by these moral standards, which I do not defend, the bullfight is very moral to me because I feel fine while it is going on and have a feeling of life and death and mortality and immortality, and after it is over and someone specially if a friend, get hurt or dies I feel sad but eventually get over it"

Me, I just took 3 gorgeous long stalks of ruby red rhubarb picked only hours ago, and cooked them with some sugar and a tiny bit of water. Once they sort of broke open and were all thready, I lowered the heat to a simmer, took off the lid, and let everything reduce down a bit. Adjust the sugar if you need to.
Meanwhile, I kept my Kitchenaid bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer. While the rhubarb was cooling, I took some heavy cream, a little sugar, and a tiny bit of vanilla and whipped. Once the cream was to a perfect consistency (not too runny, not too stiff), I folded in the rhubarb. And that's it.

I Received a summer grant to build a super precise coffee brewer. I researched coffee and coffee production and decided that in order to create good coffee, I would have to treat brewing as a chemist would treat a soluble liquid extraction. I had to factor in theories of constant measurable flow and titration to account for all variables and maximize measurability. I built the brewer using organic chemistry glassware and lab equipment for use in conjunction with my burr grinder and temperature variable gooseneck kettle. The coffee it creates has been described as the best coffee ever tasted as it has the ability to pinpoint and control every variable of the brewing process for flawless consistency. It produces delicious repeatable results by reducing agitation to the coffee bed via a flow regulator. The resulting coffee has virtually no sediment, and is never bitter as it does not over-extract.
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.
