Noro yarns are well known for their gorgeous colourways, and these Silk Garden examples are no exception. I went to the yarn shop today for something quite specific and somehow came out with these (and another ball of yarn) as well.
Yarn loveliness aside, in a small way it'll go toward helping the Japanese economy (in the very long run). But for the moment, we can all help in a more significant way by giving a little bit of yarn/beer/chocolate money to one of the many good causes making a difference in Japan (and New Zealand, Haiti, many other parts of the world) at the moment.

MONA-specific pet rock based on Juul Kraijer, Untitled (2006). Sold at the MONA Markets, March 2013.
I have a thing for kitsch objects, but my PhD thesis is on the paradoxically high-brow topic, ‘The Museum as Art: Site-specific Art in Australia’s Public Museums.’ And so the MONA-specific pet rock was born…
All the pet rocks have been inspired by an artwork, doorstop, or other object displayed within MONA, and each one comes with a signed guarantee of authenticity.
“The Warfield Passages” ©1999 exterior wall mural, acrylic paint, photo and silkscreen collage on concrete,12 panels with a total length of 90 feet by eight feet tall. 28 Taylor Street; stage door and side exit of The Warfield Theater, side wall of the Warfield Building at 988 Market Street. Funded by the City of San Francisco’s Neighborhood Beautification Fund; Sponsored by the Mural Resource Center
This mural was designed and painted to be experienced while in motion, particularly as viewed by pedestrians. It is specific to its site because it reflects (figuratively and historically) the immediate area. The design is anchored by the theme of the history of the Warfield Theater, which opened in 1922 as a movie palace and went on to become a Vaudeville theater, and currently is a concert hall for contemporary music. Reading from left to right, the panels follow a time line, starting with a reference to the first moving images of a person (made by Edweard Muybridge, who was commissioned by Leland Stanford of Palo Alto), and moving through other cultural historical references to movies and performers from the era or who appeared at the Warfield. Most of the panels contain portraits of local people who posed for the mural. One of the panels is the view up Taylor Street, as it is seen from that point, imagined as it may have appeared in the early 20’s when the building was constructed. Near the right end of the mural another panel is painted from the viewer’s perspective, showing the intersection of Taylor, Golden Gate and Market as it looks today. Local legend has it that there was a speakeasy in the basement; one panel is painted as a tribute to that, using actual Art Deco imagery copied from photos I took of the basement walls.

Abierto x Obras. Matadero Madrid. Del 15 de septiembre 2017 al 8 de enero 2018.
Matadero Madrid presenta Los Afijos, una intervención site specific que ha realizado Juan López (Cantabria, 1979) para el programa Abierto x Obras, que tiene lugar en la antigua cámara frigorífica del que fue el matadero de Legazpi. La propuesta del artista plantea una intervención escultórica sobre la arquitectura como forma de resistencia contra lo establecido.
Los afijos son secuencias lingüísticas que se anteponen, se posponen o se insertan en una palabra para modificar su significado. Esta intervención, realizada específicamente para el programa Abierto x Obras de Matadero Madrid, trabaja con la relación entre escritura y arquitectura, entre signo y significado, entre escultura y collage. En un mundo hipercomunicado, poblado de signos creados por una élite intelectual y/o social, López juega con la posibilidad de alumbrar nuevos significados, nuevos espacios y otros regímenes de lo sensible, a partir de la creación de renovados signos, que además componen otros espacios. Así pues, se resignifica el discurso a la vez que se resignifica la arquitectura y por tanto nuestra manera de relacionarnos en este espacio.
Desde sus obras tempranas de intervención en el espacio urbano, el trabajo de Juan López busca desvelar otros modos de percibir el lugar como hipótesis para otras relaciones sociales fuera de la normatividad impuesta por el poder. En su obra, y mediante el recurso de la metáfora, quiebra y recompone los vínculos entre estos tres elementos: ciudad, subjetividad y poder.
Juan López ha expuesto en numerosas galerías, centros de arte, ferias y museos nacionales e internacionales como La Casa Encendida, MUSAC, Centro de Arte Laboral, Fundación Joan Miró, La Panera, O.K. Centrum Tokyo Wonder Site o Den Frie. Además, ha recibido diversos premios y becas como Hegnspl-Award Byens Hegn, Generaciones 2013, Premio ABC de Arte, Beca Fundación Marcelino Botín o Muestra de Arte INJUVE.
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que invita a artistas a realizar una pieza de nueva producción incentivando el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero.

China is now in desperate looking for people who can fix old books. “I hope more universities could open specific courses in teaching skills to repair old books, so that more ancient books can be passed from generations to generations.”
On 16-17 May 2016 a series of event under the title Global Urbanisms, Regional Specificities were organised by Jenifer Robinson (UCL Dept of Geography and Urban Laboratory) and Tamar Garb (UCL Institute of Advanced Studies) This included evening public sessions addressing regional perspective on planetary urbanism and thinking around the urban in the Global South, as well as a closed symposium during the day. The events explored very active debates within in urban studies addressing the limits of universalist theorisations of the urban, while at the same time seeking to engage with the globalisation of urban processes.

The specific property I was looking for was actually around 1625 S. Michigan--about where I was standing--but when I went down there I only knew that it was somewhere on Michigan between 16th and 17th. So I should have been pointing the camera the other way, but ultimately this doesn't matter. The view on this side of the street isn't much different from the view on that side, and it all used to be part of the same farm.
In Chicago's earliest days, this was the site of the Henry B. Clarke House, a little wooden home built in the Greek Revival style on 20.08 acres in 1836 (only three years after the city's official founding). Clarke was a hardware magnate who got rich supplying materials for the new and fast-growing city, so he built his estate away from everybody, in the unoccupied land near the lake and south of the Chicago River. The Panic of 1837 cost him dearly, and he had to resort to using his estate for farming and hunting, but he and his wife survived it all. He held on until cholera took him in 1849. His wife, Caroline, lived in the house until her own death in 1860. In the interim, she sold much of the land around the house back to the city, which is how the Prairie District came to be. A century and a half later, the property became swamped with condo buildings made of corrugated aluminum.

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir (Hebrew: כְּפִיר, "Lion Cub") was an Israeli all-weather multirole combat aircraft based on the French Dassault Mirage 5, with Israeli avionics and an Israeli-built version of the General Electric J79 turbojet engine. The project that would ultimately give birth to the Kfir can be traced back to Israel's need for adapting the Dassault Mirage IIIC to the specific requirements of the Israeli Air Force (IAF). The all-weather, delta-winged Mirage IIICJ was the first Mach 2 aircraft acquired by Israel from then-close ally France and constituted the backbone of the IAF during most of the 1960s, until the arrival of the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and, most importantly, the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, by the end of the decade. While the Mirage IIICJ proved to be extremely effective in the air-superiority role, its relatively short range of action imposed some limitations on its usefulness as a ground-attack aircraft.
Thus, in the mid-1960s, at the request of Israel, Dassault Aviation began developing the Mirage 5, a fair-weather, ground-attack version of the Mirage III. Following the suggestions made by the Israelis, advanced avionics located behind the cockpit were removed, allowing the aircraft to increase its fuel-carrying capacity while reducing maintenance costs. By 1968, Dassault had finished production of the 50 Mirage 5Js paid for by Israel, but an arms embargo imposed upon Israel by the French government in 1967 prevented deliveries from taking place. The Israelis replied by producing an unlicensed copy of the Mirage 5, the Nesher, with technical specifications for both the airframe and the engine obtained by Israeli spies.
The Kfir program originated in the quest to develop a more capable version of the IAI Nesher, which was already in series production. After General De Gaulle embargoed the sale of arms to Israel, the IAF feared that it might lose qualitative superiority over its adversaries in the future, which were receiving increasingly advanced Soviet aircraft. The main and most advanced type of aircraft available to the IAF was the Mirage, but a severe problem developed due to the Mirage fleet's depletion due to attrition after the Six-Day War. Domestic production would avoid the problem of the embargo completely; efforts to reverse engineer and reproduce components of the Mirage were aided by Israeli espionage efforts to obtain technical assistance and blueprints from third party Mirage operators.
Changing an aircraft’s powerplant had already been successfully executed in Israel with the French Dassault Super Mystère SM2B. In IDF service, the SM2B had its Atar afterburning engine replaced by a stronger but non-afterburning J52-P-8A engine from the IDF-exclusive A-4H Skyhawk variant, leading to the Sa’ar. A re-engined Kfir represented a very similar project, and two powerplants were initially selected for trials: the General Electric J79 turbojet and the Rolls-Royce Spey turbofan. In the end, the J79 was selected, not least because it was the same engine used on the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, which the Israelis began to acquire from the United States in 1969, along with a license to produce the J79 themselves. The J79 was clearly superior to the original French Atar 09, providing a dry thrust of 49 kN (11,000 lbf) and an afterburning thrust of 83.4 kN (18,750 lbf).
In order to accommodate the new powerplant on the Mirage III's airframe, and to deliver the added cooling required by the J79, the aircraft's rear fuselage was slightly shortened and widened, its air intakes were enlarged, and a large air inlet was installed at the base of the vertical stabilizer, so as to supply the extra cooling needed for the afterburner. The engine itself was encased in a titanium heatshield.
The Kfir entered service with the IDF in 1975, and over the following years, several other squadrons were also equipped with the new aircraft. The role of the Kfir as the IAF's primary air superiority asset was short-lived, as the first F-15 Eagle fighters from the United States were delivered to Israel in 1976 and immediately took over that role. The first basic production variant was the Kfir C.1, of which only 27 examples were produced and which was quickly superseded by the C.2 variant, which had different wings with dogteeth and small fixed canards for better handling, plus some other changes that markedly improved the type’s performance.
The early C.1s were quickly retired from frontline service, but in 1985 25 upgraded Kfir C.1 aircraft (recognizable through retrofitted, highly swept canard strakes on the air intakes) were leased to the US Navy and the US Marines Corps as aggressors for dissimilar aerial combat training and designated F-21A Lion. They served until 1989 and their overall performance matched the Soviet MiG-23, but they were soon replaced by F-5E and F-16N fighters. The F-21As were returned to Israel and mothballed, since the IDF had in the meantime introduced the advanced Kfir C.7 fighter bomber and did not want to operate various versions of the aircraft.
Since the J79 turbojet engine was an U.S. design, although manufactured under license in Israel, all export sales of the Kfir were and are subject to prior approval being granted by the U.S. State Department, a fact that has limited the sale of the Kfir to foreign nations. The F-21As were a special case, since their number was relatively small and the type did not represent the Kfir’s state-of-the-art anymore.
However, when the Estonian Air Force (Õhuvägi) was re-established on 16 December 1991 after the restoration of independence of the Republic of Estonia in 1991, the USA decided to support the nascent nation and its military potential under the “Peace Baltic” program and donated its former aggressor fleet.
Refurbishing the Kfirs as part of the support program and upgrading them to Estonian standards (the latter financed by the Estonian government) took nearly three years, though. The cockpit received a modern HOTAS layout, matching the state-of-the-art Kfir C.7 standard. Avionics were updated, too, with an onboard UAT-40 central computer. This managed most mission-critical systems, integrating navigational data and functions, radar information and display, and weapons targeting and controls.
The most obvious change was the integration of a French Thomson-CSF Agave radar in a redesigned, less pointed nose section with a bigger radome that gave the Kfir a profile that reminded of its interceptor ancestor, the Mirage III. The Agave was operating in X-Band multi-mode radar, with navigation and air combat capabilities with a range of up to 40 NM (~74 km) but optimized for guiding the French air-to-sea AM39 “Exocet” missiles, which were regarded as a vital maritime defensive asset for the young country and procured for the Kfirs, too. Maritime patrol and strike were the Estonian prime missions, plus interceptions upon airspace intrusions on QRA. Another addition to improve survivability was a Sherloc passive radar warning system, integrated into the fin with a slender, box-shaped fairing.
The Estonian Air Force Command and Control Headquarters was formed in Tallinn on 13 April 1994. In the meantime, the German government donated in February 1993 two Let L-410UVPs transport aircraft (former NVA-LSK aircraft). In October 1994 the first modernized Kfirs, now designated F-21B and locally called “Lõvikutsikas (= Lion cub)”, as well as three Mi-2 helicopters, were delivered and followed by four Mi-8s in November 1995. Initially tasked with ground-based air surveillance and air defense using only old Soviet radars and AAA equipment, on 15 May 1997 the Estonian Air Force moved into the former Soviet Su-24 base at Ämari, south of Tallinn.
In the following years the Estonian Air Force slowly rebuilt the military infrastructure left by the Soviet military and made it compatible with NATO standards. Most of the funds were directed to the badly damaged Ämari military airfield which was finally completed in 2011. The objective of developing Ämari Air Base was to cooperate with NATO and partner nations air forces and being able to supply standardized airfield and aircraft services necessary for Host Nation Support, e.g. the multinational Quick Reaction Force for Operation Azotize, NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission. However, due to the lack of modern and developed military aviation infrastructure, the Estonian Air Force's development was very slow.
Lacking funds, the F-21Bs have been soldiering on as the Õhuvägi’s sole supersonic jet fighter, even though the procurement of second-hand F-16s from USAF overstock had been considered. This came to no fuition and in 2020 the small F-21B fleet was still active. By the time it had been reduced to only six operational aircraft, though, after two had been lost over the years through accidents, and the rest had been mothballed and partly used for spares. A replacement is still not in sight, even though F-16s are still at the top of the Estonian wish list, and French Mirage 2000s were considered, too.

The kit and its assembly:
Another Kfir, I just love the creative potential of this aircraft. And this build is - finally - the last one in a trio of fictional Post-Soviet Baltic air force aircraft (including a Lithuanian MiG-2000 and an Latvian F-5E). The Estonian sibling was inspired by the rather unrelated question: what had become of the F-21As that had served in the United States for a couple of years as aggressors for dissimilar flight training? These apparently were the first Kfirs ever built (almost the entire small C.1 fleet), but after their short use the airframes would certainly still have had some flying hours left, so that they might have found a new use? Potential operators from the period before the millennium that came to my mind were Mexico (Mexico actually wanted to buy 24 Kfirs, but this deal was vetoed by the USA because of the J79 engine), Botswana and Latvia, but I eventually settled for Estonia because I had been wanting to create a modern-day whif for this Baltic country for some time - to complete the whiffy aircraft trio.
There’s only a single OOB Kfir C.1 out there, AFAIK, the venerable Italeri F-21A kit. There are certainly better Kfirs available, but modding a later C.2/7 into the early variant would take some effort. Losing the canards is probably the simpler task, but the wings are very different: they lack the dog tooth and have a Mirage-III-esque simple slot in the leading edge. A wing transplant might do the trick, but this would require a sound donor kit, and I did not want to spend too much money on this project.
The F-21 was mostly built OOB, with its traditional flaws like the poorly fitting cockpit tub (which received widened side consoles, and the seat received elector trigger handles made from wire), sinkholes on the wing root and the complex/jagged seam area between fuselage, air intakes and wings.
I wanted to give the aircraft an update, though, so I decided to provide it with a better radar for maritime strikes in the form of a French Agave multi-role system (used in the Super Étendard, too, and by 1990 not state-of-the-art anymore), which would also make the use as the Exocet ASM as a prime weapon against sea targets and the Kfir’s new role as a defensive strike aircraft plausible. To change the look a little more I also added a radar warning fairing to the fin under the dielectric fin, made from styrene strips.
The ordnance was inspired by the French practice to carry only a single Exocet missile under one Super Étendard wing and a drop tank under the other; the missile came from an Italeri NATO weapons set, the drop tank is the large OOB tank - both just mounted on pylons on the inner underwing stations while the ventral hardpoint was omitted. The outer wing stations thankfully already come with molded AAM launch rails, I just replaced the OOB ACMI pods with modern Sidewinders.
Painting and markings:
The funnier part, and initially I thought about keeping one of the USN/USMC grey-in-grey aggressor paint schemes. But then I rather went for something darker, suitable for low-level operations over the sea, and found Estonia’s (early sole) L-39 Albatros trainer, which carried for some time a disruptive paint scheme in three blue and grey tones (probably FS 36440 or something lighter, 35164 and 35109) with very light grey, almopst white (FS 36622 and/or 36495?) undersides.
Using photos of this singular aircraft as benchmark I designed my own camouflage pattern for the Kfir’s delta wing layout and reduced the colors to just FS 35164 and 35109 from above, while FS 36440 was used as the third upper tone as well as for the uniform undersides. Looks almost decorative, but in the air the scheme appears to be quite effective, esp. against clouds but also over a cluttered underground, as it reall breaks up the aircraft's outlines.
A light black ink washing was applied as well as post-panel-shading with brushes. The cockpit interior became medium grey, the landing gear white, very conservative.
Decals and markings were puzzled together, asp. the Estonian trianglesof relatively small size were hard to procure - they actually belong to a real-world post WWI Sopwith Camel (from two PrintScale sheets to get four of them), and the had the added value of a whote edge that would add contrast to the markings on the grey/blue surfaces. The only other national marking is a fin flash, which had to be painted, though.
Tactical markings are minimal, and I adapted a code style from the Estonian L-39 which looked quite American. Stencils were taken from the Kfir's OOB sheet. Finally, the model was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).
A relatively simple whif project (after the long and tedious fight with the V 200/Märklin 3021 conversion), since the model was mostly built OOB with just minor cosmetic changes - just tha radome was added/changed and the ordnance. However, despite its exotic operator, the Estonian Kfir look attractive and purposeful in its subdued yet flashy grey/blue scheme (the blue turned out much brighter than expected!), even though the question how plausible it looks is better left open. :D
What Makes It specific from different forms of Bikes?
Hybrid bikes gain reputation for the next elements:
Wheels
The bikes have practical wheels which combine the elements observed on street and mountain bikes. The wheels are wider, which offers you sturdiness and steadiness. In the meantime, it also has the equal inflation degree as road bikes by means of having a larger air stress.
Body
Frames on hybrids are made to be powerful to accommodate your off-road biking wants. Customarily such frames are made of metal or lightweight aluminum. These substances present maximum force as good as an low-priced rate. It can be said that frames of hybrids resemble ones on mountain bikes.
Pedals
regularly, general hybrid bikes have platform pedals. These pedals will likely be valuable principally in case you customarily put your toes down while riding.
Handlebars
you are going to to find the flat handlebars on hybrids are just like these on mountain bikes. Compared to the handlebars on road bikes, handlebars on hybrids give you a better riding position. The handlebars generally have a wider grip so as to sit down upright and manipulate your bike in a greater means.
Driving function
With the advanced design of the handlebars, hybrid bikes enable you to take a seat with a greater posture. Hence you can shrink pressure on back and neck at the same time driving.
Gears
on the grounds that hybrids are created to accommodate distinct riding needs, they arrive with a broad range of gearing. This allows you to journey on pavements or hills without a hassle. There are round sixteen to 27 apparatus mixtures that you could prefer from to accommodate your distinctive using want.
Suspension
Seat posts and suspension forks on hybrids are adopted from mountain bikes. The technological know-how permits you to obtain better shock absorption and decrease stress for your body.
Components
just like different varieties of bikes, hybrids include some intriguing add-ons for your fun riding experience. There are device baggage, water bottles, frame pumps and more.

A small black jumping spider that lives at elevations of up to 6,700 meters on Mount Everest, making it possibly the highest known permanent resident on earth. They are known to lurk in crevices among rocky debris. Their diet remains a mystery; few explorers to Mount Everest have found any other significant signs of organic or plant life. It probably lives as a scavenger, feeding on insects that are transported up there by the wind and then freeze to death.

specific to beech wood. It appears in autumn on dead trunks and on fallen branches, and occasionally it also grows on dead branches high up in living trees.
Provided that the skin is thoroughly washed to remove the mucus (or peeled from the caps), these mushrooms are edible, although their slimy covering is probably enough to put most people off. Only larger caps are worth collecting, because the flesh is thin and insubstantial.

This week we detail the specific use of a fairly common tool in metalworking: a thread tap. It is a very handy tool to have in the event of having a dropout adjuster screw break and get stuck inside the dropout, as Quang had experienced over the weekend.
The first step when dealing with a tight dropout adjuster screw is to very carefully try and unwind it from the screwdriver side, i.e. inside the dropout flats. Sometimes used frames will have the dropout adjuster screws bent from damage or rusted hard inside, and as such too much torque can cause the screw head to shear off.
At this point, the only option is to carefully drill out the stuck screw and re-tap new threads into the hole for the dropout to accept a new screw. This requires a very steady hand and for the frame to held securely, most likely with the dropout clamped in the vice.
As for the size of drill bit to use, this corresponds with the desired thread size. Too large of a diameter hole, and the tap will not cut threads deep enough for the screw to securely hold itself in place; conversely too small a hole can cause the tap to be excessively tight during rotation, leading to binding and potential snapping.
For the purposes of dropout adjuster screws, as they are a M3 x 0.5mm thread, a 2.5mm drill bit is used.
The steps to remove a stuck adjuster screw:
• File the screw as flat as possible to the dropout.
• Then by eye, centre punch the screw as best as possible. This will keep the drill bit in place when drilling.
• Use a 2 mm drill bit to drill as straight as possible down the dropout screw.
• The hole is enlarged to 2.5 mm. If it has been drilled perfectly, then most of the old screw should be gone.
• A M3 X 0.5 starting tap is run down the hole to either clean out the old threads or new threads are formed.

The River Ouse is a river in North Yorkshire, England. Hydrologically, the river is a continuation of the River Ure, and the combined length of the River Ure and River Ouse makes it, at 129 miles (208 km), the sixth-longest river of the United Kingdom and (including the Ure) the longest to flow entirely in one county. The length of the Ouse alone is about 52 miles (84 km) but the total length of the river is disputed.
It is a matter of opinion as to whether the River Ouse is formed at the confluence of the River Ure and the much-smaller Ouse Gill Beck at Cuddy Shaw Reach near Linton-on-Ouse, about six miles downstream of the confluence of the River Swale with the River Ure. An alternative opinion is recorded in a publication published in The Yorkshire Post in a series dated 1891, written and illustrated by Tom Bradley. His description and bird's-eye-view maps—specifically in his account of the River Swale—suggests that the River Ouse starts at the confluence of the Swale and the Ure. His narrative states that the Ouse has no specific source, simply flowing from the stated confluence until it runs into the Humber at the confluence of the Ouse and Trent.
Continuing the path of the Ouse downstream from Linton-on-Ouse, it then flows through the city of York and the nearby towns of Selby and Goole before joining with the River Trent at Trent Falls, near the village of Faxfleet, then entering the Humber estuary.
The Ouse's system of tributaries includes the Derwent, Aire, Don, Wharfe, Rother, Nidd, Swale, Ure and Foss. Together they drain a large part of the Pennines, and much of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors.
The Ouse valley is a wide, flat plain; heavy rainfall higher in the river's drainage basin can bring severe flooding to settlements. In recent years York, Selby and villages in between have been flooded.
Sources
The traditional source of the Ouse is in the village of Great Ouseburn, and is marked by a stone column reading "OUSE RIVER HEAD... OUSEGILL SPRING Ft. YORK 13 miles BOROUGHBRIDGE 4 miles". The site is 38 yards (35 m) from the present course of Ouse Gill Beck, a small stream earlier known as Usekeld Beck, meaning "Spring or source of the Ouse" (from Old Norse kelda "spring").
The start of the Ouse is now considered to be the point where Ouse Gill Beck joins the River Ure, 1.6 miles (2.5 km) south-east of Great Ouseburn.
Etymology
The name was first recorded in about 780 as Usa. It has been speculated that the name is of Romano-Brittonic (Celtic) origin, from an assumed word udso-, assumed to be derived from the Indo-European root wed-, meaning "water". Alternatively, 'Isaf' and 'Ychaf' are common form of place names in modern Welsh (Romano Britonic's successor) meaning 'upper' and 'lower'. The letter 'U' forms an 'I' sound in Welsh. Other sources prefer a Proto-Celtic origin.
It has been suggested that the Ouse was once known as the 'Ure', but there seems to be no supporting evidence for this claim. The suggestion that the name derives from the Romano-British name of the Ure, assumed to be Isurā from the Roman name for Aldborough, and over time evolved into Isis and finally the Saxon Ouse, would go some way to explaining how the little tributary Ouse Gill Beck usurps the name of the much larger River Ure. However the form Ouse is little changed from the eighth century.
The York district was settled by Norwegian and Danish people, so parts of the place names could be old Norse. Referring to the etymological dictionary "Etymologisk ordbog", ISBN 82-905-2016-6 dealing with the common Danish and Norwegian languages—roots of words and the original meaning: Os—the mouth of a river. The old Norse wording oss, gradation form ouso.
Navigation
The Ouse is navigable throughout its length. Seagoing vessels use the river as far as Howdendyke. The inland port of Goole also accepts seagoing vessels on a regular basis. Goole also offers access to the Aire and Calder Navigation. At Selby there is access to the Selby Canal. The river is tidal up to Naburn; the resultant tidal bore is known locally as "the Aegir".
At Naburn there is a weir with locks, so that boats of 150 feet (45.7 m) length and 15 feet (4.6 m) beam can reach York. Above York there is another weir with locks at Linton-on-Ouse, which allows boats of 66 feet (20 m) length to proceed to the River Ure Navigation. Adjacent to the lock is Linton Lock Hydro plant. This is capable of generating enough electricity to power 450 homes.
The navigation authority is Associated British Ports from Trent Falls to Goole railway swing bridge at Skelton, and the Canal & River Trust upstream from there.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, there was considerable commercial traffic on the river, mainly from Selby, which then had a custom house, downstream. After the 1826 opening of the Aire and Calder Navigation, most traffic became concentrated on the port of Goole. This continues, although the coal trade which formed the backbone of the river trade has ceased.

Flooding
With both the Ouse and the Foss running through York, flooding has been a problem throughout its documented history. Flooding is known to have occurred in 1263, 1316, 1564, 1625, 1638, 1947, 1978, 1982, 2000, 2007, 2010 and 2015. In November 2000, the floods reached a height of 5.4 metres (18 ft) above sea level, whilst over the Christmas period of 2015, the level reached 5.2 metres (17 ft). A barrier was installed on the mouth of the River Foss in York city centre in 1989, so that when the Ouse was in flood, water would not run upstream of the Foss and flood the city. Flooding occurs typically due to heavy rainfall further upstream in the catchment area of the Ouse (Swale, Ure, Nidd) which covers 1,300 square miles (3,300 km2), (the Foss catchment is 77 square miles (200 km2).
Low-lying land around the villages of Kelfield, Riccall, Wistow and Cawood, which are south of York, are designated as a floodplain, though it can cause damage to properties there. In February 2020, it was estimated that over 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) of fields were under floodwater, making the size comparable to that of Windermere, England's largest natural lake.
As the Ouse is tidal as far inland as Naburn, this means that flooding can occur due to heavy rainwater or tidal surges in the downstream settlements of Selby and Goole.
Cawood (other names: Carwood) is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England that is notable as the location of the Cawood sword. It was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.
History
According to Edmunds' "History in Names of Places" (London, 1869), the first syllable, Ca-, means a hollow, also a field. Edmunds gives Cawood of Yorkshire as an example. The last syllable -wood, is self-evident. The name, therefore, is a place-name of Anglo-Saxon origin and was first used to describe one who lived in a wooded hollow or field.
In his King's England series, Arthur Mee refers to Cawood as "the Windsor of the North". It used to be the residence of the Archbishops of York. Cawood is south of the point where the River Wharfe flows into the River Ouse which subsequently forms the northern border of the village. Cawood Bridge is the only bridge from the village which spans the river. The bridge was opened in 1872: before then the only means of crossing was by use of a ferry. Dick Turpin is said to have forded the river when he escaped to York, which lies ten miles north of Cawood. The River Ouse used to flood the village regularly in winter. Since the floods of January 1982, whose height is marked on the bridgekeeper's cottage, river defences have been raised so that the fields on the northern side (Kelfield Ings) and the former Ferry Boat Inn, also on the Kelfield side, are now the only areas that flood, even at times of exceptionally high waters, such as in November 2000.
Cawood Castle
The houses and shops are located around the remains of Cawood Castle which lies at its centre. This was the residence of the Archbishops of York who were forced to leave at the English Reformation. It is possible to stay in the Castle Gatehouse, which is a Landmark Trust property. This stands next to Castle Garth, a scheduled ancient monument, under which are the remains of the castle. It is currently owned by the village, but closely looked after by English Heritage and the local Garth group as a "green space" in the centre of the village.
The village used to house a host of public houses, but the Anchor, Thompson's Arms and the Bay Horse have closed. The three remaining pubs are:
The Jolly Sailor is situated on Market Place in the village centre.
The Ferry Inn is located just by the swing bridge over the River Ouse.
The Castle Inn can be found on Wistowgate, heading towards Selby.
The village is served by a parish church, which is dedicated to All Saints'. It is an active place of worship and community events. It is also a Grade I listed building.
Transport
Cawood railway station provided a passenger service from 1898 to 1929 and continued to provide goods services until it was closed altogether in 1960.
History
Cawood was formerly one of the chief places of residence of the Archbishop of York, who had here a magnificent Palace or Castle, in which several of the bishops died. It was obtained for the see of York from King Athelstan, in the 10th century, by Archbishop Wulstan. The village surrounded its walls. Alexander Nevil, the 45th Archbishop, is said to have bestowed great cost on this palace, and to have adorned it with several new towers. Henry Bowett, the 49th Archbishop, built the great hall; and his successor, Cardinal Kempe, erected the gatehouse, the ruins of which are all that remain of this once magnificent building.
In the 1800s Cawood was considered a market and parish-town, "in the wapentake of Barkston-Ash, liberties of St. Peter and Cawood, Wistow, and Otley; 5 miles from Selby, 7½ from Tadcaster, 10 from York, 12 from Pontefract, 186 from London." Cawood being within the Liberty of Cawood, Wistow, and Otley made the village administratively independent from the surrounding West Riding of Yorkshire.
Market was held each Wednesday. Fairs were held on Old May day and 23 September. The principal inn was named the Ferry House. The local church, a peculiar, was a vicarage, dedicated to All Saints, in the deanery of Ainsty (now New Ainsty). Notice of the union of the Liberty of Cawood, Wistow, and Otley with the West Riding of Yorkshire was published in the London Gazette on 21 March 1864. Some of the economic changes in the following decades were also due to increased transportation and agricultural mechanization. It remained part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.
Notable people
Notable people who were born or live in Cawood include: Henry Monson, a founding New Zealand settler. Michael Lyons FRBS FRSA, a contemporary British artist and former Vice-President of the Royal British Society of Sculptors.
Notable people who died in Cawood include six Archbishops of York: William Greenfield, William Melton, Thomas Rotherham, John Thoresby, William Zouche and George Montaigne.
Also the children's nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty may refer to Cardinal Wolsey's 'great fall' at Cawood, when he was arrested by King Henry VIII's men.
