The lower register of the south aisle west window depicts the Judgement of King David against the Amalekite. The upper half is largely composed of reconstructed elements and reset fragments.
The west windows of the aisles were heavily damaged by the great storm of 1797 and until the recent restoration had many missing sections and areas composed of patched fragments. The restorers of the Barley Studios bravely reinstated the missing sections using as much original material and evidence as possible (a thorough examination of the fragments when disassembled yielded much information). The result has transformed the effect of these windows, visually completing the cycle of windows again for the first time since the storm damage of 1797.
St Mary's at Fairford is justly famous, not only as a most beautiful building architecturally but for the survival of its complete set of late medieval stained glass, a unique survival in an English parish church. No other church has resisted the waves of iconoclasm unleashed by the Reformation and the English Civil War like Fairford has, and as a result we can experience a pre-Reformation iconographic scheme in glass in its entirety. At most churches one is lucky to find mere fragments of the original glazing and even one complete window is an exceptional survival, thus a full set of 28 of them here in a more or less intact state makes Fairford church uniquely precious.
The exterior already promises great things, this is a handsome late 15th century building entirely rebuilt in Perpendicular style and dedicated in 1497. The benefactor was lord of the manor John Tame, a wealthy wool merchant whose son Edmund later continued the family's legacy in donating the glass. The central tower is adorned with much carving including strange figures guarding the corners and a rather archaic looking relief of Christ on the western side. The nave is crowned by a fine clerestorey whilst the aisles below form a gallery of large windows that seem to embrace the entire building without structural interruption aside from the south porch and the chancel projecting at the east end. All around are pinnacles, battlements and gargoyles, the effect is very rich and imposing for a village church.
One enters through the fan-vaulted porch and is initially met by subdued lighting within that takes a moment to adjust to but can immediately appreciate the elegant arcades and the rich glowing colours of the windows. The interior is spacious but the view east is interrupted by the tower whose panelled walls and arches frame only a glimpse of the chancel beyond. The glass was inserted between 1500-1517 and shows marked Renaissance influence, being the work of Flemish glaziers (based in Southwark) under the direction of the King's glazier Barnard Flower. The quality is thus of the highest available and suggests the Tame family had connections at court to secure such glaziers.
Entering the nave one is immediately confronted with the largest and most famous window in the church, the west window with its glorious Last Judgement, best known for its lurid depiction of the horrors of Hell with exotic demons dragging the damned to their doom. Sadly the three windows in the west wall suffered serious storm damage in 1703 and the Last Judgement suffered further during an 1860 restoration that copied rather than restored the glass in its upper half. The nave clerestories contain an intriguing scheme further emphasising the battle of Good versus Evil with a gallery of saintly figures on the south side balanced by a 'rogue's gallery' of persecutors of the faith on the darker north side, above which are fabulous demonic figures leering from the traceries.
The aisle windows form further arrays of figures in canopies with the Evangelists and prophets on the north side and the Apostles and Doctors of the Church on the south. The more narrative windows are mainly located in the eastern half of the church, starting in the north chapel with an Old Testament themed window followed by more on the life of Mary and infancy of Christ. The subject matter is usually confined to one light or a pair of them, so multiple scenes can be portrayed within a single window. The scheme continues in the east window of the chancel with its scenes of the Passion of Christ in the lower register culminating in his crucifixion above, while a smaller window to the south shows his entombment and the harrowing of Hell. The cycle continues in the south chapel where the east window shows scenes of Christ's resurrection and transfiguration whilst two further windows relate further incidents culminating in Pentecost. The final window in the sequence however is of course the Last Judgement at the west end.
The glass has been greatly valued and protected over the centuries from the ravages of history, being removed for protection during the Civil War and World War II. The windows underwent a complete conservation between 1988-2010 by the Barley Studio of York which bravely restored legibility to the windows by sensitive releading and recreating missing pieces with new work (previously these had been filled with plain glass which drew the eye and disturbed the balance of light). The most dramatic intervention was the re-ordering of the westernmost windows of the nave aisles which had been partially filled with jumbled fragments following the storm damage of 1703 but have now been returned to something closer to their original state.
It is important here not to neglect the church's other features since the glass dominates its reputation so much. The chancel also retains its original late medieval woodwork with a fine set of delicate screens dividing it from the chapels either side along with a lovely set of stalls with carved misericords. The tomb of the founder John Tame and his wife can be seen on the north side of the sanctuary with their brasses atop a tomb chest. Throughout the church a fine series of carved angel corbels supports the old oak roofs.
Fairford church is a national treasure and shouldn't be missed by anyone with a love of stained glass and medieval art. It is normally kept open for visitors and deserves more of them.

Sailors from the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard and a trumpeter from the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Band conduct military funeral honors for U.S. Navy Reserve Pharmacist’s Mate Third Class William Blancheri in Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, June 3, 2019.
From the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency:
In November 1943, Blancheri was a member of Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force, which landed against stiff Japanese resistance on the small island of Betio in the Tarawa Atoll of the Gilbert Islands, in an attempt to secure the island. Over several days of intense fighting at Tarawa, approximately 1,000 Marines and Sailors were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded, but the Japanese were virtually annihilated. Blancheri died at the age of 19 on the first day of the battle, Nov. 20, 1943, during the first waves of the assault.
The battle of Tarawa was a significant victory for the U.S. military because the Gilbert Islands provided the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet a platform from which to launch assaults on the Marshall and Caroline Islands to advance their Central Pacific Campaign against Japan.
In the immediate aftermath of the fighting on Tarawa, U.S. service members who died in the battle were buried in a number of battlefield cemeteries on the island. Blancheri was reportedly buried in Cemetery #26. The 604th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company conducted remains recovery operations on Betio between 1946 and 1947, but Blancheri’s remains were not identified. All of the remains found on Tarawa were sent to the Schofield Barracks Central Identification Laboratory for identification in 1947. By 1949, the remains that had not been identified were interred in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP) in Honolulu.
On Dec. 5, 2016, DPAA disinterred Tarawa Unknown X-016 from the NMCP, and sent the remains to the laboratory.
To identify Blancheri’s remains, scientists from DPAA and the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial (mtDNA) DNA analysis, dental, anthropological and chest radiograph comparison analysis, as well as circumstantial and material evidence.
Blancheri’s niece, Ann Dunn, received the flag from his casket.

broken into three main sections, the Louilla is gradually succoming to the waves and winds. Gordon Reef, Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea
Loullia. Panamanian freighter of 2,271 grt built in Sweden and launched in May 1952. Her dimensions were 107.55m x 14.36m with a draught of 8.49m. On a voyage from Aqaba to Suez in ballast, the Loullia ran hard onto Gordon Reef in the Straits of Tiran on 29 September 1981. The crew safely abandoned ship four days later.

Here is a little space in which there are patches lifted up leaving quarish holes in the floors. One can see just a bit of the underlying levels here.
Davis Bay is a small community located just south of Sechelt BC on the lower section of the Sunshine Coast. The identifying feature of Davis Bay is the long pebbled beach coastline with a well developed paved walking path lined with viewing benches while highlighted with a long wooden fishing pier jutting out from the shoreline. Often the pier is occupied by fisherman and swimmers.
The Davis Bay coastline cannot be missed if you travel along the main route, the Sunshine Coast Hwy. Entering Davis Bay follows down a hill from, both north and south, and then suddenly the trees part way and the oceans and shores of Davis Bay jumps out at you. It is impossible to miss!
At Davis Bay when the tide rolls out tidal pools and sand bars appear. A good opportunity for observing some of the smaller marine life or to build a sandcastle. Otherwise on high tides the beach is mainly rocky covered with driftwood and sea shells. The Davis Bay coastline is a very popular Sunshine Coast destination to windsurf, beach comb, stroll the Seawalk or try your hand at fishing from the pier.
On a clear day, the views of Georgia Strait and Vancouver Island are visible enough that the individual communities on the island stand out. Chapman Creek is a hiking and biking trail located in Davis Bay. It is an moderate grade trail that follows the creek leading to a small waterfall and hatchery.

The coolest part of Beech Grove is looking down the huge collection of rolling stock that takes you back to the '80s and '90s. We are looking west towards the Beech Grove complex, built in 1907.
2ТЭ121 mainline diesel-electric locomotoves were developed in mid 1970s as more powerfull model followed 2TE116 having two 3000 hp diesels. It traditionally composed of two sections but have many progressive elements as frame support of traction motors, the load-bearing body with new 4000 hp / 2942 kW diesel 2В-5Д49 (16ЧН26/23), increased wheel size (1250 mm) and high wheel loading (up to 27 t). Unfortunately it remained low-production (only 80 for 1978-1992) and after USSR breakage Ukrainian plant VZOR (renamed to Luhansk Locomotive Works) continued to develop the series 2TE116, which in the last, the UD model received 4000 hp diesel engine of American manufacture.
2TE121 mainly operated on the Northern Railway of Russia and Donetsk Railway of Ukraine. After the collapse of the USSR, repair of diesel locomotives available in Russia was difficult, and they were not needed in Ukraine, where they were massively decommissioned by 1994-95. In Russia some of them continued to operate on the Oktyabrskaya railroad until 2010, the last one was decommissioned in 2014.

The cells of the epidermis are single-layered, thin-walled and mucilaginous. There is no apparent cuticle.
The outer cortex consists of a narrow zone of 5 – 6 layers of parenchyma cells. The bulk of the cortex is occupied by network of thin walled aerenchyma cells. Chloroplasts may form throughout the cortex in stems exposed to sufficient light. The numerous air spaces of the aerenchymatous cortex store respiratory gases and provide bouncy. The only mechanical support within the cortex is provided by branched or stellate sclereids.
There is no well-defined stele, rather several smaller poly steles composed of two or more confluent vascular bundles loosely linked in a ring in the mid cortex. Single vascular bundles are distributed to the inside and outside of the zone of polysteles. All vascular bundles are closed and collateral with proto xylem in polysteles facing towards each other, followed by zones of metaxylem, and most externally, caps of phloem. A well-defined starch containing endodermis with casparian strip is evident in the poly stele systems.
Vascular tissues are often poorly differentiated into xylem and phloem. Xylem is entirely composed of spiral and annular tracheids of unusual length. In many vascular bundles a xylem lacuna can be seen. Phloem bundles are primarily phloem parenchyma and sieve tubes.

Probably the best known and most iconic Gettysburg battlefield landmark: the Gatehouse to Evergreen Cemetery on West Cemetery Hill. This photo is unedited -- I ducked underneath the wires and somehow managed a decent shot across the busy Baltimore Pike. See the comment section below for what it looked like during the battle.
