Blah, crappy cell phone camera quality.
This is what is to the right of me as I sit in my chair. Like the last picture, this one has notes too if you want a closer look.
On the north side of the chancel is a near identical recess to one on the south wall, which contains the effigy of a knight wearing chain armour including a coif de mailles, and a belted surcoat reaching to the knees; his legs are crossed.
Next to him but outside the recess is the effigy of a lady with wimple headress.
Both effigies are of mid 13c / early 14c,, the words "Dominus (Sir) Robertus Moton" were at one time still visible on the stone surround. This kind of chain mail armour went out of usage after c 1305 - 1320s - the guide thought he could be "the late 13c Sir Robert who was first patron of the church". The lady carved in softer sandstone is thought to be of a slightly later date possibly 1320 - 1330
(The first patron Robert Moton son of William Moton was still a minor when his father died c1217. This Robert was killed on 4th August, 1265, at the battle of Evesham, fighting on the side of Simon de Montfort his overlord, and his estates were consequently forfeited. The Patent Rolls dated 12th of January, 1266. says certain lands in Peckleton were granted to Robert's widow for the maintenance of herself and her family for life. The grant was made, " by way of grace and humanity, to Juliana late the wife of Robert Moton, the king's enemy, killed at the battle of Evesham, that out of the lands of the said Robert in Pecklinton which the king lately gave to William Bagod and [which] have been extended [i.e. valued] at £11 Is. 6d. a year, she shall have 3j virgates of land with their appurtenances of the demesne, extended at 35s. a year, and 3£ virgates with their appurtenances of the villeinage extended at 30s. a year", for maintenance, as stated above.
The forfeited possessions of Robert Moton were afterwards restored to William Moton 1260 - 1318 his son and heir
William's heir was his son William c1200 - 1331 who m Joan c1337 daughter of William de la Zouch & Maud Lovell; They were the parents of Robert Moton c1337 - 1367 m Alice 1378 daughter of Sir Ralph 1st Baron Basset of Sapcote by Sibell Astley)
It may well be that these effigies, possibly as the guide says of Robert Moton & wife Julian were made later after their son William regained his estates

Side Ancient City
Side (Greek: Σίδη) is an ancient Greek city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey, a resort town and one of the best-known classical sites in the country. It lies near Manavgat and the village of Selimiye, 78 km from Antalya in the province of Antalya.
It is located on the eastern part of the Pamphylian coast, which lies about 20 km east of the mouth of the Eurymedon River. Today, as in antiquity, the ancient city is situated on a small north-south peninsula about 1 km long and 400 m across
History
Strabo and Arrian both record that Side was founded by Greek settlers from Cyme in Aeolis, a region of western Anatolia. This most likely occurred in the 7th century BC. Its tutelary deity was Athena, whose head adorned its coinage.
Dating from the tenth century B.C., its coinage bore the head of Athena (Minerva), the patroness of the city, with a legend. Its people, a piratical horde, quickly forgot their own language to adopt that of the aborigines.
Possessing a good harbour for small-craft boats, Side's natural geography made it one of the most important places in Pamphylia and one of the most important trade centres in the region. According to Arrian, when settlers from Cyme came to Side, they could not understand the dialect. After a short while, the influence of this indigenous tongue was so great that the newcomers forgot their native Greek and started using the language of Side. Excavations have revealed several inscriptions written in this language. The inscriptions, dating from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, remain undeciphered, but testify that the local language was still in use several centuries after colonisation. Another object found in the excavations at Side, a basalt column base from the 7th century BC and attributable to the Neo-Hittites, provides further evidence of the site's early history. The name Side may be Anatolian in origin, meaning pomegranate.
Next to no information exists concerning Side under Lydian and Persian sovereignty.

Alexander the Great occupied Side without a struggle in 333 BC. Alexander left only a single garrison behind to occupy the city. This occupation, in turn, introduced the people of Side to Hellenistic culture, which flourished from the 4th to the 1st century BC. After Alexander's death, Side fell under the control of one of Alexander's generals, Ptolemy I Soter, who declared himself king of Egypt in 305 BC. The Ptolemaic dynasty controlled Side until it was captured by the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BC. Yet, despite these occupations, Side managed to preserve some autonomy, grew prosperous, and became an important cultural centre.
Walls of the ancient theatre of Side
In 190 BC a fleet from the Greek island city-state of Rhodes, supported by Rome and Pergamum, defeated the Seleucid King Antiochus the Great's fleet, which was under the command of the fugitive Carthaginian general Hannibal. The defeat of Hannibal and Antiochus the Great meant that Side freed itself from the overlord-ship of the Seleucid Empire. The Treaty of Apamea (188 BC) forced Antiochus to abandon all European territories and to cede all of Asia Minor north of the Taurus Mountains to Pergamum. However, the dominion of Pergamum only reached de facto as far as Perga, leaving Eastern Pamphylia in a state of uncertain freedom. This led Attalus II Philadelphus to construct a new harbour in the city of Attalia (the present Antalya), although Side already possessed an important harbour of its own. Between 188 and 36 BC Side minted its own money, tetradrachms showing Nike and a laurel wreath (the sign of victory).
In the 1st century BC, Side reached a peak when the Cilician pirates established their chief naval base and a centre for their slave-trade.
Romans
The consul Servilius Vatia defeated these brigands in 78 BC and later the Roman general Pompey in 67 BC, bringing Side under the control of Rome and beginning its second period of ascendancy, when it established and maintained a good working relationship with the Roman Empire.
Emperor Augustus reformed the state administration and placed Pamphylia and Side in the Roman province of Galatia in 25 BC, after the short reign of Amyntas of Galatia between 36 and 25 BC. Side began another prosperous period as a commercial centre in Asia Minor through its trade in olive oil. Its population grew to 60,000 inhabitants. This period would last well into the 3rd century AD. Side also established itself as a slave-trading centre in the Mediterranean. Its large commercial fleet engaged in acts of piracy, while wealthy merchants paid for such tributes as public works, monuments, and competitions as well as the games and gladiator fights. Most of the extant ruins at Side date from this period of prosperity.

I lined up the vertical motifs of the inner suiting plaid; I lined up the front panels on the outer suiting.
I'd love to have a higher-quality suiting than these polys from Joann's but - they are holding up pretty nicely and the price was right.
Sustainable radiotherapy services: Current and future challenges for low and middle-income countries
Sustainable radiotherapy services: Current and future challenges for low and middle-income countries When planning for a new radiotherapy facility commences, the discussion often focuses on the type of equipment and technological advancements. However, this is just one component amongst many that need to be considered in setting up a more comprehensive radiotherapy facility. There are many other key planning issues which have a major influence on the sustainability and success of such a major project. These include the regulatory infrastructure, the location of the facility, building planning, support services, the availability of competent human resources and longterm budgeting. Appropriate and realistic phasing of such a project is achievable with a local, multidisciplinary, implementation team that is fully aware of the challenges in their environment. In this context, this side event will sensitize policy makers to the steps needed to set up a radiotherapy centre within an African context. IAEA, Vienna, Austria. 29 November 2018

Chestnut-sided warblers (Setophaga pensylvanica) are still calling and guarding territories in New Hampshire. Their songs sound cheerful, but the males are fairly aggressive in dealing with rivals.The most commonly heard and seen warblers in our area are chestnut-sided and yellow warblers, common yellowthroats, and ovenbirds.
