Chatham-Kent Fire Service, Station 17 Merlin was toned out for a possible structure fire on Talbot Trail just before 11:30 a.m. on April 26, 2014.
Upon arrival, Station Chief 1701 transmitted a working fire with smoke coming from the eaves, and set up a defensive operation while crews gained entry. 2nd and 3rd alarms were eventually requested, bringing in Station 16 Raleigh South, and Station 19 Tilbury. With heavy fire, heat and smoke crews were evacuated from the vacant residence and again went defensive.
The fire was brought under control using 19-14's aerial stream by 14:40 hours.
Bearded Fireworm (Hermodice carunculata) is a type of marine bristleworm belonging to the Amphinomidae family, native to the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Usually 15 cm (6 inches) in average length, but can reach up to 30 cm (12 inches).
At first glance, this fire worm looks like a centipede with its elongated and flattened appearance, multiple segments, white silks, and parapodia and gills located on the side of its body. Its colours are varied and range from greenish, to yellowish, to reddish, greyish through white with a pearly glow. The body consists of 60 to 150 identical segments separated from each other by a thin white line and protected by cuticles. Each segment has a pair of parapodia, a structure for locomotion, clusters of stinging white bristles, and red or orange gills all in bilateral position. The anterior part of the worm can be recognized by small growths, called caruncle, which have the same colour of the gills on the first four segments. The mouth is ventral and is located on the second segment. The head is shown on the first segment and includes the eyes and other sensory organs.
The bearded fireworm lives throughout the tropical coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean. On the eastern side they are found from Algeria to Liberia, and on the western side from the southeast coast of the United States to Guyana, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. They are also found in the Mediterranean Sea especially around the Italian coasts. A significant population structure exists between the Caribbean / Brazil population of H. carunculata, and those from the eastern Atlantic (Canary Islands) and eastern Mediterranean.
This fireworm is found in many marine living environments such as corals, rocks, mud, sand, posidonia, and on drifting wood as well as port infrastructure in shallow water from the surface to 40 m (130 feet) deep.
The bearded fireworm is a voracious predator that supplements its diet with plant material.
The bearded fireworm is a slow creature, and is not considered a threat to humans unless touched by careless swimmers. The bristles, when flared, can penetrate human skin, injecting a powerful neurotoxin and producing intense irritation and a painful burning sensation around the area of contact. The sting can also lead to nausea and dizziness. This sensation lasts up to a few hours, but a painful tingling can continue to be felt around the area of contact. In a case of accidental contact, application and removal of adhesive tape will help remove the spines; applying isopropanol/Rubbing Alcohol/Isopropyl Alcohol to the area may help alleviate the pain.

Hagia Sophia is mostly known as one of the most valuable and fascinating structures in the world of art and architecture. It deserves to enter to the collection of the rare works by challenging to the time. It is located in Sultanahmet area (a historic place), nearby of Topkapi palace in Istanbul Turkey. Hagia Sophia is a great architectural beauty and an important monument both for Byzantine and for Ottoman Empires. Once a church, later a mosque, and now a museum at the Turkish Republic, Hagia Sophia has always been the valuable of its time.This church was rebuilt three times on the same place. Megale ekklesia meaning big church was named firstly but then it was renamed as Hagia Sophia meaning Holy Wisdom.
The first church was constructed by Emperor Constantius II (337-361), son of Emperor Constantine I. This church was a wooden-roofed basilica with a nave flanked by two or four aisles, each carrying a gallery storey. It was preceded by an atrium. This church was largely burned down in 404 during riots since patriarch John Chrysostom was sent into exile by the Emperor Arcadius. Today, some marble blocks from this second church are represented at the courtyard of the third church/ the museum.
The second church was built by architect Ruffinos Emperor Theodosios II. order in 415.This church was also constructed as basilica and its root was made from wood.It had 5 naves, 3 gates and a monumental entrance. After the riots called Nika Revolt against The Emperor Justinian I (527-565),the second Hagia Sophia was burned down in 532.
The current Hagia Sophia was built by the Greek scientists Isidore being physicist , and Anthemius being mathematician , Emperor Justinian’s reguest. It is one of the greatest relics examples of Byzantine architecture, rich with mosaics and marble pillars and coverings. Many materials had been brought from all over the empire, including yellow stone from Syria, porphyry(red marble) from Egypt and Hellenic Columns from the Artemis Temple in Ephesus. To construct this build,more than ten thousand people were worked and the third church was showed by the emperor in 537. The mosaics were finished later on, at the time of Justin II (565-578). Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque, after the conquest of İstanbul in 1453 by Sultan Mehmed II the Conqueror (Fatih). Hagia Sophia served as the main mosque of Istanbul for nearly 500 years. It became a sample for many of the Ottoman mosques of Istanbul like the Beyazıt Mosque, the Kalender Mosque, the Suleiman Mosque, and the Eyup Sultan Mosque. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the minbar, the mihrab, throne for sermon reflecting Islam and wood bars were put in to the interior section. A library was built by the order of Sultan Mahmud I.
The Hürrem Sultan Hamam (Turkish bath of the Ayasofya mosque complex), on the southwest side of Ayasofya next to the park with the fountain, was designed by master architect Mimar Sinan and built for Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent. It has been beautifully restored and is again in service as a hamam (Turkish bath).
Hagia Sofia was modernized and turned into the Ayasofya Museum In 1934, at Turkish president Kemal Atatürk’s request. The prayer rugs were removed, displaying the marble beneath, but the mosaics remained largely plastered over and the building was allowed to decay for some time. Some of the calligraphic panels were sent to other mosques, but eight roundels were left and can still be seen today.
Within Hagia Sophia there is a sweating column in the corner of the church. This column’s lower part is encircled by a bronze belt and there is a hole to insert a finger. There are many legends and stories about the column. In the northern wing there is a mosaic panel, and there are three panels, each with groups of three figures, in the southern wing.
A masterpiece of Byzantine mosaic art is illuminated by the light from a window in the southern gallery . The panel, called "Deesis", represents the last judgment and is a composition of three figures: Jesus is seen in the center, flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. The unusual arrangement of the mosaics in the background highlights the beauty of the figures, and the facial expressions are extremely realistic.
The Virgin Mary and Christ-Child, the Emperor Comnenus II, and the Empress Eirene is depicted at the end of the southern gallery a panel from the 12th century while the panel on the side wall portrays the ailing Prince Alexius.
UNESCO accepts Hagia Sophia as The World Heritage because of architectural beauty.
“Some individuals may perceive their losing fight with gravity as a sharp pain in their back, others as the unflattering contour of their body, others as constant fatigue, yet others as an unrelentingly threatening environment. Those over forty may call it old age. And yet all these signals may be pointing to a single problem so prominent in their own structure, as well as others, that it has been ignored: they are off balance, they are at war with gravity.”

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_Metropolitan_Cathedral
"The Cathedral is built in concrete with a Portland stone cladding and a lead covering to the roof. Its plan is circular, having a diameter of 195 feet (59 m), with 13 chapels around its perimeter. The shape of the Cathedral is conical, and it is surmounted by a tower in the shape of a truncated cone. The building is supported by 16 boomerang-shaped concrete trusses which are held together by two ring beams, one at the bends of the trusses and the other at their tops. Flying buttresses are attached to the trusses, giving the cathedral its tent-like appearance. Rising from the upper ring beam is a lantern tower, containing windows of stained glass, and at its peak is a crown of pinnacles.
The entrance is at the top of a wide flight of steps leading up from Hope Street. Above the entrance is a large wedge-shaped structure. This acts as a bell tower, the four bells being mounted in rectangular orifices towards the top of the tower. Below these is a geometric relief sculpture, designed by William Mitchell, which includes three crosses. To the sides of the entrance doors are more reliefs in fibreglass by Mitchell, which represent the symbols of the Evangelists. The steps which lead up to the cathedral were only completed in 2003, when a building which obstructed the stairway path was acquired and demolished by developers."
