Remark: This school was constructed in 1914 to serve the Hebron, Porter County, Indiana, community and to alleviate overcrowding at the school it replaced. It was constructed on the same site of the old school along the west side of Adams Street. This school consisted of eleven classrooms, an auditorium/gymnasium, and a shop room.
Overcrowding began to occur at this school during the late 1920s and the community started to contemplate the construction of a new high school. The community, hindered by the financial impact of the Great Depression, did not construct a new school until 1939. The new school that replaced the one seen above was funded through funds from the Works Progress Administration (WPA).

HEBRON.
The contract for the new Hebron school building was let last Saturday afternoon to the lowest bidder, who proved to be the Wiley Bros. of Chicago, their bid being $23,524 for the construction of the building. The plumbing and heating contract was awarded to the Lige Bros. of Auburn, Ind., whose bid was $5,360. This will make a total cost of the building complete below $30,000, and seems to be a very satisfactory price to the taxpayers. A large number of contractors were present and the bidding was lively. The Wiley Bros., who secured the contract have the reputation of being first class, honest workmen, and were born and raised at Orchard Grove, Ind., and there have a number of old friends and acquaintances here who are glad to see them land the contract. A firm from Chesterton came within $11 of their bid.

HEBRON.
School closed here last Friday afternoon, which was two weeks early in order that the contractors who are to erect the new school building could get to work on it as soon as possible. The three out of town teachers, Misses Tofte, Felton and Padgett, left on the evening train for the respective homes at Valparaiso, Crown Point and Evansville.

The workmen on the old school building have made rapid work when they succeeded in tearing it down to the ground in a week's time.

HEBRON.
The Wiley Bros., who are constructing the new school house were given quite an extra expense last Friday when a large portion of the northwest wall which was nearly completed collapsed with a roar that was heard for several blocks and within a few minutes over a hundred people were on the scene, fearing that some of the workmen had been injured, but fortunately they had quit work for the day about 10 minutes before it occurred and this no doubt saved some from being seriously injured if not killed. The accident was caused by having the brick carriers pile up brick all day on the upper floor so that the hoist could be taken to their other contract at Bloomington, Ill., and the extra heavy weight caused one of the joists to break, which in giving way pulled the wall with it. It will require about a week's worth in making the repairs, but will not affect the building in any way and it will be safe in every sense of the word. It merely means an expense of several hundred dollars to the contractors.

HEBRON.
The bricklayers have finished their work on our new school building and the carpenters have now commenced work. We are getting one of the finest buildings in the county and it will be a great credit and improvement to the town.

The work on the new school here is progressing nicely and it is expected that it will be completed so that school can begin by the first of October. The building is a credit to the town and township and one that we may all feel proud of.

Sort of struck out a tiny bit today. It was really nice outside, fairly cool and nice light. Unfortunately, most of the recent migrant Ruby-throats left and not many came in to replace them. There were three or four birds today, but they weren't very cooperative. I believe that this is a young male (based as much on size as plumage). It was the same size as Chewy and a bit smaller than a female that is hanging out. This one would only come to the feeder when I had the blind zipped up all the way, which was just a little too hot to be comfortable. Chewy, on the other hand, will fly through the blind windows to take a shortcut when he is in the mood. A Carolina Wren kept peeking through the little window too, probably hoping that he had found the world's coolest nest.
For those of you keeping track - Chewy is looking a tiny bit better today - a few new feathers covering some of the bald spots. If he is the same bird that I've had for the past few years, and if history is a guide, he will probably hang around until his new feathers grow in a bit. Generally, adult males leave earlier than females and juveniles, but I have usually had an adult male hang out until the beginning of September.

Taken in Kew Gardens
Commissioned in 1982 to replace a group of 26 smaller buildings that were falling into disrepair. It was named after Princess Augusta, founder of Kew, and opened in 1987 by Diana, Princess of Wales. It is the most complex conservatory at Kew, containing ten computer-controlled climatic zones under one roof.
The two main climate zones are the ‘dry tropics’, representing the world’s warm, arid areas, and the ‘wet tropics’, housing moisture loving plants from ecosystems such as rainforests and mangrove swamps. The eight remaining microclimates include a seasonally dry zone containing desert and savanna plants, plus sections for carnivorous plants, ferns and orchids.
Whereas the Palm and Temperate Houses make grand statements with their designs, the low-lying, angular ‘glazed hill’ of the Princess of Wales house is less obtrusive. The conservatory was designed by architect Gordon Wilson to be energy-efficient and easy to maintain and was built partly underground.
The southern end is heated more by the sun than the northern end, so this is where visitors find towering spikes of echiums and silver agaves from dry tropical regions such as the arid Canary Islands. The central area contains an elevated aquaria, complete with waterlily pond and the dangling roots of mangroves, plus displays of orchids and carnivorous plants. At the northern end are species from the moist tropics, including banana, pineapple, pepper and ginger.

Kew Gardens (formally knowkn as the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) consists of 121 hectares of gardens and glasshouses.
The gardens began as exotic gardens belonging to Lord Capel John of Tewkesbury in the latter half of the c17th. The gardens were extended and enlarged by Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales (and mother of the future George III) who employed William Chambers to design various buildings. George III had William Aiton (1731-93) and Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820) as directors of the botanical garden. The gardens were formally established as a national botanical garden in 1840.
Faversham’s Magna Carta
Copies of this confirmation of Magna Carta granted in 1300, which includes the whole text of Magna Carta, were sent to many towns throughout the country. At the foot of this copy it is stated in Latin that it is for the barons of the Port of Faversham. Originally granted by King John 1215, Faversham’s version is a confirmation of the re-issue of 1225.

Translation
Edward by the grace of God king of England, Lord of Ireland and Duke of Aquitaine sends greeting to his archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, earls, barons, sheriffs, reeves, ministers and all bailiffs and faithful people. We have inspected the charter of the lord Henry, our father, king of England (Henry III 1216-1272) about the liberties of England in these words:
Henry by the grace of God king of England, Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine and Count of Anjou sends greeting to his archbishops, bishops, earls, barons, sheriffs, reeves, ministers and all faithful people who will inspect the present charter. You may know that we by the instigation of God and for the salvation of our souls and the souls of our ancestors and descendants by our spontaneous and good will have, for the elevation of the Holy church and the bettering of our kingdom, given and granted to the archbishops, bishops, priors, earls, barons and ministers of our kingdom these liberties as are written below to be observed in our kingdom of England in perpetuity. Firstly we have conceded to God and we, by this our present charter, confirm for ourselves and for our heirs in perpetuity that the English church may be free and may hold all rights freely, fully and its liberties unquestioned; we have also granted and have given to all free men of our kingdom on behalf of ourself and of our heirs in perpetuity that they may have and hold the liberties as written below, by them and their heirs of us and our heirs in perpetuity. If any person of our earls or barons or of any other tenants who hold of us in chief through knight service may die and after his death and his heir shall be of full age and he owes relief, he may receive his inheritance through the old relief, that is to say an heir or the heirs of an earl by a hundred pounds for the entire Earldom, an heir or the heirs of a baron by a hundred marks for the full Barony, the heir or heirs by a hundred shillings for a full knights fee at the most and who has held less may give in accordance with the ancient custom of the fees. If however the heir of anyone of any such status should have been under age, the lord may not have custody of him nor of his land before he has taken his homage and afterwards such an heir who shall have been in custody, shall, when he has come of age, that is at twenty one years, receive his inheritance without relief and without a fine. Moreover that if he should have become a knight while he has been in custody, even so the land may remain in the keeping of his lords to the end of the aforesaid term. The guardian of the land of an heir of this nature, who has been under age, may not take anything from the heir’s land unless reasonable profits of that land. He ought to make report to us and if he, during his time of guardianship shall cause damage or commit waste then we will take it from him to be emended and the land may be committed to two trusted and honest men. And if we have given or sold the guardianship of the land to anyone of such nature and he then has caused damage or waste he shall loose that guardianship and it be handed over to two trusted and honest men of that fee who similarly may answer to us just as is aforesaid. However the guardian of the land has to accept a certain responsibility for the land in this manner: he will maintain the buildings, parks, fish ponds, stanks, mills and all things pertaining to that land out of the profits of the same land and when the heir shall come of full age he shall return his land completely stocked with ploughs and all other things in full just as he received it. All these things are to be observed concerning the custody of the lands of archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, churches and vacant dignitaries which pertain to us, except when the guardianship in this manner ought to come to us. The heirs shall marry without disparagement, a widow at once after her husband’s death and she may have her marriage allowance and her inheritance without obstacle and may not give anything for her dowry nor for her marriage portion for the inheritance; that is any inheritance which she, the same widow and her husband held on the day of her husband’s death and she may remain in her husband’s capital messuage for forty days after her husband’s death, within which days her dowry may be assigned to her, unless it shall have been already assigned to her or unless that residence should be a castle and if she should depart from such castle, a suitable house may be provided at once for her in which she may honourably remain until her dowry be assigned to her, as it aforesaid and meanwhile she may have a reasonable maintenance grant from the community. However a third part of all her husband’s land may be assigned to her for her dowry which was hers during his life, unless she had been provided with less dowry at the church entrance. No widow may be pressurised to get married while she has wished to live without a husband. Then so that she may give assurance that she will not marry without our assent if she has held from us or without her lord’s assent if she has held from another. Indeed neither we, nor our bailiffs will seize any land or rent for any debt when certain present chattels of the debtor are sufficient to pay the debt and the debtor himself made be prepared to make satisfaction, nor shall the sureties of the same debtor be distrained when the chief debtor himself has sufficient for the payment of his own debt and if the chief debtor should default in payment of the debt, not having the funds to make repayment or being reluctant to make payment when he is able, the sureties for the debt may be responsible and if they should wish they may have the debtor’s lands and rents until he makes satisfaction to them about the debt which they have paid for him previously, unless the chief debtor has shown that he is quit towards his sureties. The city of London may have all is ancient liberties and customs; in addition we wish and concede that all other cities and boroughs and towns and the barons of the Cinque Ports and all ports may have all the liberties as their free customs. No one may be distrained to make more service for a knight’s fee nor for any other free tenement than that which is owing. The common pleas may not follow our court but shall be held in another particular place. Recognizances of Nova Disseisina and of Morte Antecessorum shall not be taken unless in their own counties. We, or if we should be out of the kingdom our chief justiciary, shall send our justiciaries into every county whatsoever once in a year, where, with the knights of the shires they may take the aforesaid assizes and those things which at his coming in the county cannot be terminated through our aforesaid justiciaries at the two assizes which were taken, shall be terminated by the same men elsewhere in their itinerary and those matters which by the same men could not be terminated on account of difficulty of other articles may be referred to the justiciaries of the Bench. The assizes of Ultima Presentacione are always taken before the justiciaries of the Bench and to be terminated there. A free man may not be amerced for a minor offence except according to the manner of the same man’s offence and for a more serious offence according to the extent of his delinquency, saving to the consideration of his status and a merchant in the same way according to his merchandise and a villein of another, rather than of ours, shall be amerced in the same way according to his weregeld should he happen to be placed into our mercy and none of the aforesaid amercements shall be imposed unless through the oath of trusted and law-abiding men of the neighbourhood and knights and barons shall not be amerced except through their peers and not unless according to the manner of the offence. No ecclesiastical person shall be amerced according to the quantity of his benefice but according to the quantity of his lay fee and according to the nature of his offence nor shall any villein or free man be distrained to build bridges at the waterways unless they had been obliged to do so from ancient times and by right. No defences shall be made for any river banks apart from those which had been made as defences in the time of king Henry our grandfather throughout the same places and under the same terms, just as they were accustomed to do in his time. No sheriff, constable, coroner or any other of our bailiffs may hold pleas of our crown. If any person holding a lay free of us shall have died and our sheriff or bailiff shall show our letters patent concerning our summons about the debt which shows what he owes to us, it may then be lawful for the sheriff or our bailiff to impound and evaluate all the deceased person’s goods and chattels found in that lay fee to the extent of that debt assessed by the valuation of trusted men. Thence nothing may be removed from there until the debt to us which was clearly shown shall be paid and the residue may be left to the executors in accordance with the deceased person’s will and if nothing may be owed to us by him and all his chattels shall yield to the deceased, saving to the wife and children of the same in reasonable share. No constable or a bailiff of his may take the corn or other chattels of anyone who is not of the town where the castle is situated unless he immediately pays money for them, or then he can have respite by the wish of the vendor. If however he is of that same town he may pay the price within forty days. No constable may distrain any knight to give him money for castle guard if he shall have been willing to do this in his own person or if for some good reason he is not able to perform this service through another trusted man; in addition, if we have led or sent him into the army, he may be exempt from service in accordance with the time during which through us he was in the army because of the fee for which he has done service in the host. No sheriff or our bailiff or any other person shall take the horses or carts of anyone to make a carriage unless he shall make the payment laid down in ancient statutes, that is to say ten pence per day for one cart with two horses and fourteen pence per day for one cart with three horses. No cart of the demesne of any ecclesiastical person or knight or of any other lord shall be taken by our bailiffs neither shall we, our bailiffs or anyone else take wood belonging to anyone else for our castles or for any other of our works unless by permission of the person to whom the wood belongs. We will not hold the lands of those persons convicted of felony longer than one year and one day and then those lands shall be returned to the lord of the fees. All fish kidells shall forthwith be removed from the Thames and Medway and throughout the whole of England unless upon the sea coast. The writ called Precipe in future shall not be granted to anyone of any free tenement, thence a free man may loose his court. There shall be one measure of wine throughout our whole kingdom and one measure of beer and one measure of corn, that is to say the quarter of London and one width of dyed cloth, of russets and halberjects, that is two ells within the selvedges. Concerning weights, these shall be the same as the measures. In future nothing may be given or taken from him who seeks the writ of the inquisition Concerning life and limbs but it shall be freely conceded and not denied. If anyone may hold of us in fee farm or socage or burgage and shall hold land from another by military service we will not have the custody of either his heir nor lands which he holds of another because of that fee -farm, socage or burgage, unless the fee farm owes that same man military service. We will not have custody of the heir or lands of anyone who holds from any other person lands by military service by reason of petty serjeantry which he holds of us by service of giving daggers or arrows or other similar things to us. Forthwith no bailiff shall place any man to his open law, not to an open oath upon his own simple affirmation without faithful witnesses brought for the purpose. No free man be taken or imprisoned nor dispossessed of his free tenement nor of his liberties or free customs nor outlawed nor exiled nor in any way brought to destruction nor shall we go upon him nor condemn him except through the lawful judgement of his peers or through the law of the land. We will not sell to anyone, nor will we not deny nor delay to anyone either right or justice. All merchants, unless they have received public prohibition, shall have safe and secure conduct to go from and come into England and to remain and to travel throughout England both by land and by water to buy and sell with no unjust exactions, in accordance with the ancient and right customs, except in time of war and if they should be from the country with which we are at war and such merchants are found in our land at the beginning of the war, they shall be apprehended with no loss to their persons or to their goods until it is made known to us or to our chief justiciary how the merchants of our land who may be found in that land which is at war with us are used and if our men were safe there, then those others shall be safe in our land. If anyone has held of another escheat, as of the honour of Wallingford, Boulogne, Nottingham, Lancaster or other escheats which are in our hands and which might be baronies and has died, his heir shall not give any relief nor perform any other service to us other than he may make to a baron, if that might be in a baron’s hands and we will hold it in the same manner by which the baron held it, nor by reason of such a barony or escheat will we have any escheat or custody of any of our men unless he who held the barony or escheat held otherwise of us in chief. In future no free man shall give or sell any more of his land but except that from the residue of his land he may be able to make the service owing to the lord of the fee which pertains to that fee. All the patrons of abbeys which have charters of the kings of England concerning the advowson or the ancient tenure or possessions may hold custody of them while they shall have been vacant just is they ought to have and just as is decreed above. No one shall be arrested or imprisoned by the appeal of a woman for the death of any man other than her husband. Henceforth no county court may be held except from month to month, and where the greater term was accustomed to be it may be greater, neither shall any sheriff or his bailiff make his turn throughout the hundred except on two occasions in a year and not unless in the due and accustomed place, that is to say once after Easter and again after the feast of Michaelmas and the view of frank pledge shall be then made at the same Michaelmas term with no obstacle, thus moreover that everyone may have his liberties which he had or was accustomed to have in the time of king Henry our grandfather or which things he has since acquired. However the view of frank pledge may be so done that our peace may be held and that the tything may be fully kept just as it was accustomed to be and that the sheriff may seek no perquisites and that he may be content with such as the sheriff was accustomed to have when he made his view at the time of king Henry our grandfather, nor in the future may it be lawful for any man to give his land to a religious house and to take that land to hold from the same house nor may it be lawful for a religious house to accept land of any man and to lease that land to him from whom it was received. Forthwith if anyone has so granted land to a religious house and upon this is convicted, his gift shall immediately be curtailed and that land returned to the lord of that fee. Forthwith scutage may be taken [as was customary] in the time of our grandfather king Henry and saving to the archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, Templars, Hospitallers, earls, barons and all other persons both ecclesiastical and secular all the liberties and free customs which they first had. However all men of our kingdom, both clergy and laity shall observe all the customs and the aforesaid liberties [hole in MS which we have granted] in as much as pertains to us towards them in the way that these pertain towards them. However for this grant and concession of those liberties and other things contained in our charter concerning the liberties of the Forest the archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, earls, barons and all people of our kingdom have given us a fifteenth part of all their moveable goods. We have granted also to the same people on our behalf and that of our heirs that neither we nor our heirs may request anything through which the liberties as contained in this charter may be violated or questioned and if any persons [may presume to commit such action] such may be worthless and set at nought.

One piece replaced.
The puzzle represents a Persian illustration from 1430. The subject is King Kaikaus.
The cutting of the puzzle is very fine with very small pieces.
It seemed difficult to us for its size, the color cut is almost systematic.
We love !
I bought it for a vera but in my opinion, looking at the box it's a PMW. The midnight blue box was closed with 2 strips of paper glued diagonally in the corners. Unfortunately these strips have disappeared and only traces of glue remain. Typewriter etiquette is also characteristic of PMW. A number is handwritten below the box: n°1543
Your boss is finally convinced by you to replace the office chair with an ergonomic chair. After working in the new chair for a day, you feel much better than before and can focus on work for longer time. After working for a while, your back pain also starts to improve. Your colleagues can also notice that you are more engaged and productive than in the past few months.
The ergonomic chair for computer users is designed to help you sit comfortably for long periods of time at work. They are more adjustable than standard office chairs and allow you to adjust to your body or seating preferences.
These chairs increase your productivity and increase your job satisfaction, and they also reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Here are five specific reasons why an ergonomic chair can relieve your waist and back pain.
1.Support proper posture when sitting on ergonomic chairs
The most important reason that ergonomic chair for computer users can improve waist and back pain is that they are designed to support your natural posture and reduce stress on your body. The seat back usually extends from the shoulder to the seat position. The lower back forms a slightly curved forward structure to match the natural curve of the lumbar spine. This is often called lumbar support because it helps protect the lumbar spine.
The adjustable armrest of the ergonomic chair supports your elbows and forearms as your arms naturally hang next to your body. This allows you to use your keyboard and mouse without causing fatigue in your shoulder and arm muscles. Adjusting the seat height allows you to lay your feet flat on the floor with your hips and knees bent to about 90 degrees.
Some ergonomic chairs have backs that can be moved forward or backward to reduce the depth of the seat and prevent the front edge from cutting into the back of the knee.
2. Proper hip and pelvis alignment when sitting on ergonomic chairs
A common cause of back pain caused by incorrect sitting is improper alignment of the hips and pelvis. The top of the pelvis should be level to prevent tilting forward or backward. When the computer chair you sit in a correct posture, the pelvis bone structure known as a bone to be flush with each other, are located in the front and rear portions of the pelvic bone. When these bony structures are horizontal, your waist should be slightly arched with the raised parts facing forward.
If you sway from side to side, you should feel the pressure on the bone structure called the ischial tuberosity. These are also called ischias because they should be the weight-bearing part of the pelvis when sitting. If you've ever sat on a hard bench, you will most likely feel your ischial tuberosity press into a hard surface.
3. Prevent shaking and lean forward head posture when sitting on ergonomic chairs
When you sit down, the lumbar spine bends and your shoulders roll forward to create a slack posture. In this position, your scapula is away from the thoracic spine and your head is moved forward or extended. When you look up at your computer monitor, your neck moves to an extended position. If you continue working in this position, this can cause muscle strain, pain, and headaches.
Internal and external factors can cause slackness. Internal factors include limited hip flexion range, tight hamstrings, obesity, and weak torso (core) muscles that fail to keep the spine upright against gravity. External factors are factors outside the body, such as limitations of chair design. These include seat lengths that are too long or too short, seat backs that are too vertical, and armrests that are too low.
Ergonomic chair for computer users may not change your internal constraints, but they are specifically designed to correct external factors. Adjustable seat depth and contours of the seat back support the waist, prevent lazy body states, and promote you to sit in place. Some chairs also allow you to adjust the angle or tilt of the seat back. Use a properly adjusted ergonomic chair to prevent looseness and forward head posture.
4. Reduce repeated bending of the body on ergonomic chairs for computer users
A side effect of sitting poorly on a standard chair is that it requires repetitive bending of the body to ease it. This is likely to happen several times a day and can cause pain in your waist. Sitting on an ergonomic chair with good back support will allow you to sit more straight. This will prevent you from having to move more and effectively prevent your waist from adding extra pressure.

This courthouse replaced an ugly courthouse that I was told had horrible parking. The before mentioned "ugly" courthouse was originally a lovely 1922 Classical Revival structure that was remodeled in 1959. I believe that this one was built in 2006. It's not so bad for a Modern courthouse.
The town of Pryor is sometimes referred to as Pryor Creek. I believe that Google Maps still uses that name. The United States Postal Service recognizes the name Pryor.

Confide in your reflection; tell the secrets of your mind.
For here is where they shall stay, hidden deep, until the next time.
As kids we feared of ghosts and ghouls, but now I know for sure,
Our demons live inside of us, deep within our core.

Leased from and operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines on behalf of MEA Middle East Airlines.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WZEH in Dec-83, this aircraft was delivered to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as PH-AGF in Feb-84. It was wet-leased to MEA Middle East Airlines in May-92. KLM sold it to a lessor in May-95 and leased it back while the sub-lease to MEA continued. The aircraft was returned to KLM in Nov-97 and to the lessor as few days later as N445FE. It was stored until it was sold to FedEx Federal Express in Mar-98. It was converted to freighter configuration with a main deck cargo door in Aug-98 and served with FedEx until it was permanently retired at Victorville, CA, USA in Jun-12. The registration was eventually cancelled in Feb-16.
Sculpture of the Virgin Mary's assumption by John Doubleday, installed in 2007 in the niche on the west face of the tower to replace a long lost medieval figure.
Ufford's church of the Assumption is justly famous and needs little introduction in churchcrawling circles. It is one of those special churches which is not only a most handsome building in its own right but retains more of its medieval features than most, and one extraordinary piece that is of such renown it would be worth coming here to see all on its own; the fact the church is such a gem regardless makes an additional bonus!
I first came here decades ago as my interest in churches blossomed in childhood. We knew this one was worth a special trip and I remembered it accordingly (long before I took any half decent photos of course). Being so close I couldn't resist the urge to revisit Ufford, over three decades later.
The church appears entirely of 15th century date (though clearly a church has stood on this site for much longer) and the fine west tower announces its presence as one approaches from the street. The churchyard is a green and pleasantly sheltered space (even though the trees make it hard to get an overall view of the building) and the path leads straight to the beautiful south porch, all adorned with playful flint flushwork designs. As pleasant though the exterior is however the lure of this church lies within and and is too inviting to resist.
Inside the church it is immediately clear that this light and lovely place has much of interest with medieval pews all around populated by figurative carvings, but moving from the south aisle to the nave one is confronted by what makes Ufford so famous, the font with its towering wooden canopy, reaching as high as the nave roof! The font itself is quite ordinary for Suffolk and not large, but the great wooden spire placed atop it makes it a wonder of medieval England. It is unsurprisingly the tallest in the country and a remarkable survival, it has lost the statuettes that once filled its niches (a few more recent replacements adorn it here and there) but is still crowned by the image of the pelican in piety. One has to contemplate it awhile, it dominates the narrow space of the nave like no other and is a masterpiece of medieval woodwork (to raise the cover the lower section is designed to move separately and 'telescopically' to cover that above, rather than raise the entire spire of wood).
There is more to see here beside the font of course, but that is the feature that steals the show here. Above it the medieval roof adorned with angels, sadly not the original figures which were last to Protestant iconoclast, the present pair of angels and winged cherubic heads being early 20th century. The fine woodwork of the nave pews would be worth a visit in their own right anywhere else with a remarkable range of figures adorning them which reward exploration and study. The chancel beyond also has a fine roof, this time adorned with painted shields depicting symbols of the Passion, and the glass in the east window appears old, though be aware that most of this is very clever early 20th century imitation.
Ufford church is one of the highlights of this part of Suffolk and shouldn't be missed. It is happily kept open and welcoming on both occasions I visited, and normally should be outside covid-affected times.

To replace its fleet of L-4 Grasshoppers used during World War II, the US Army selected a modified version of the civilian Cessna 170. The Army needed an all-metal aircraft with good visibility, and the Cessna 170 fit the bill. Cessna added bulged windows to the sides and additional ones to the rear and top of the wing. Designated L-19 Birddog, the first entered service in 1950.
Eventually over 3000 L-19s--redesignated O-1 in 1962--would serve with all branches of the armed forces, namely in the forward air control and artillery spotting role. It was especially valuable in Korea and Vietnam, though it was used far more in the latter, as it was reliable, quiet, and could operate from virtually anywhere. Some were even armed as "emergency gunships," though this was discouraged. FACs and observation pilots paid the price, as well--no single type of aircraft suffered more losses than O-1s, because their role required them to fly low and slow; it was also easy to shoot one down. (Captain Hiliard Wilbanks was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for covering a trapped US Army Special Forces team with his lightly armed O-1 in 1967. ) So popular was the O-1 that it was never quite replaced completely by the O-2 Skymaster and OV-10 Bronco in Vietnam; the last Birddog left US service in 1974.
Built as L-19E 52-4558 for the USAF, this aircraft was later redesignated as an O-1E in 1962. It is unknown if it saw service in Vietnam. 52-4558 was declared surplus in the early 1970s, and by 1982, was in the hands of a warbird collector in Texas. It was restored to its Vietnam appearance, and in 2013, moved to the Legacy Flight Museum in Rexburg, Idaho. It was badly damaged in a nonfatal landing accident at Rexburg in 2017, but has since been restored back to flyable condition.
52-4558 is configured as an O-1 FAC during Vietnam, with four spotter rockets under the wings; the overall gray finish actually proved to be better than camouflage, as there was no air threat over South Vietnam, and the gray did not show up as well against the often rainy skies of Southeast Asia as camouflage did. This view gives a good idea of the excellent visibility from the Birddog.
It's also not the greatest photo in the world, and this was just a case of me moving at the wrong time; the Legacy Flight Museum is neither crowded nor poorly lighted.

Originally built as an MD-82, this aircraft was first flown in Jun-82 and stored at Long Beach, CA, USA until it was delivered to Austrian Airlines as OE-LDX in Feb-83. It was converted to MD-82 standard in Dec-90. Austrian sold it to Airfleet Credit Corporation in Dec-99 and it was leased to Spirit Airlines as N812NK 5 days later. Spirit bought it from the lessor in Jan-05 and sold it 2 weeks later to Safair (Pty) Ltd, South Africa as ZS-OPU. It was immediately leased to Comair and operated on behalf of Kulula.com. It was returned to Comair and Safair in Dec-07 and stored at Johannesburg. The aircraft was leased to Insel Air International as PJ-MDB in May-08. After 34 years in service it was permanently retired at Curacao, Netherlands Antilles in Jul-16.
GIC replaced the Grand Ocean Restaurant last year which was itself a replacement in 2011 for the long running Scarborough Grand Seafood Restaurant, a massive 350 seat restaurant operating inside the Dragon Centre.
The Dragon Centre is a small / medium sized indoor mall and was at its height as a focal point for the Scarborough area Chinese community in the mid - 80''s / 90's after being converted from a failed roller-skating rink.

OK so the element works...hooray! But don't forget to DISCONNECT from the electricity supply before you complete the final steps.
I took the opportunity to clean the backplate. There was a lot of encrusted gunk on the back of the plate, partially blocking the fan vents..I wonder if this contributed to the element's demise? I replaced the oven bulb which had failed (15 watt SES 300 degree - I got a Philips T22 E14 about £2). Replace the back plate with the 4 screws - you did keep them in a safe place didn't you? I took the opportunity to clean the glass on the oven door too. Wow...now we can actually see the stuff being cooked for the first time in a couple of years!
I then checked out the oven by starting at 100 degrees and checking the thermostat went out after a couple of minutes. then 150 degrees...another couple of minutes..then 200 and 300. Seemed ok.

On 12 May 2010, at the southern end of Chesnut Grove there were two missing bollards

Subject : Missing Bollards Chesnut Grove, Tottenham N17
Please see the photo I've posted on Flickr. It shows the end of Chesnut Grove where a row of bollards normally prevents vehicles from accessing the pedestrian-and-bicycle middle section of Chesnut Road. As you can see, two bollards are missing. So an irresponsible driver could gain access to the pedestrian section.
Could you please arrange for replacement of the bollards as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Bad capacitors from a Bell 9241 HD PVR. So far so good... no lockups yet.
The 1200uF aren't available from Sayal but was able to get them from Newark. I also then decided to get the 820uF from them also to have it all shipped at the same time plus they're made by Rubycon (which are considered the best out there), except Newark doesn't stock these in North America, so they had to get them from the UK if I recall. Arrived in the US on 9/1 and it's been stuck at US customs ever since, so picked up the 820uF made by Nichicon (they're okay, Panasonics would have been better) at Sayal.
So if you order anything from Newark and there's no stock in North America, look elsewhere!! And don't get capacitors made by Teapo.
The project to replace the 61-year-old Salmon River Bridge on Highway 97 north of Prince George, is going to tender.
The old bridge will be replaced with a new structure that can handle oversize transport trucks. Wider and with a greater load capacity, it will support the movement of heavy loads required to service the resource sectors in the North such as oil and gas, LNG and forestry. The total value of the project is estimated at $24 million and work is expected to begin in the fall of 2016.

First flown with the Airbus test registration D-AVYX, this aircraft was delivered to Eurowings as D-AKNG in Feb-97. It was sold to a lessor on delivery abd leased back to Eurowings.
It was transferred to Germanwings in Oct-02. The aircraft was transferred to Lufthansa in Nov-08 and repainted in full Lufthansa livery with Lufthansa Italia titles. It was due to be operated by Air Dolomiti re-registered I-LHKB.
However, the operation by Air Dolomiti was cancelled and it was operated by Lufthansa, still as D-AKNG, starting in Jan-09. Lufthansa Italia wasn't a success and the aircraft was returned to Lufthansa in Nov-11 when it was stored at Sofia, Bulgaria. It returned to service in May-12.
In May-13 the aircraft was transferred to Germanwings in full Germanwings livery. It had gone 'the full circle' when it was transferred back to Eurowings in Oct-17. The aircraft was permanently retired at Sofia, Bulgaria in Dec-19.
