Rescued French sailor's boat was uninsured
The partner of a French sailor who was rescued off the coast of Australia after spending three days adrift on a life-raft on Monday said that his boat was not insured.
Armelle Launay-Caillaud said Alain Delord may have escaped with his life but he would be counting the cost of the loss of the vessel, Tchouk Tchouk Nougat, which he was forced to abandon after the mast broke and the hull was damaged.
"It's a straight loss because the boat wasn't insured," Launay-Caillaud told AFP. "He's lost 150,000 euros because insurers didn't want to take it on before he left. His boat is his life. It's why he gets up in the morning....
"As well as financial problems, there's a human one: some people die of despair. It's the same for him and his boat. It's part of his life."
Launay-Caillaud spoke to Delord on Sunday and said he told her that he thought death was on the horizon until he was picked up by a cruise ship which changed course to rescue him.
"His number was nearly up. He was staring death in the face. His life-raft flipped over several times," she added.
Launay-Caillaud said Delord had previously lost a mast and seen his boat overturned but had never before been in such an extreme situation.
"He's still a bit shaken up. He's been through the wringer emotionally but he's calming down. He's annoyed as well because he doesn't have any identity papers and has lost his bank card. He's never been in such a situation before," she added.
Delord spent more than 90 days at sea and was due to reach land on Tuesday morning in Hobart, Tasmania, where he will stay for a night before heading to Canberra, Launay-Caillaud added.
Delord, who set off on his voyage in early October, abandoned his yacht Tchouk Tchouk Nougat on Friday after the mast broke and the hull was damaged too far from land for a helicopter to reach him.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) deployed three aircraft to airdrop food, water, communications equipment and a safety suit and had stayed in regular contact with him.

Contact us at info@reclaimthemedia.org.

President-elect Barack Obama's transition team today asked key members of Congress to consider delaying the nation's switch to digital television scheduled for Feb. 17, saying there is "insufficient support" for the problems consumers will experience during the shut-off of analog signals.
In a letter sent to Capitol Hill this afternoon, the transition team said congressional action is needed. The action would be the "first step" toward helping consumers get ready for the transition to digital television. It also called funds provided to support the conversion "woefully inadequate."
The request for a delay comes 41 days before the government-mandated switch to all-digital broadcasts, which requires the nation's full-powered television stations to permanently shut off the traditional analog signals they have used for more than half a century. Analog television sets that rely on "rabbit ear" or rooftop antennas to receive broadcasts will not work unless they are upgraded with a converter box. Consumers who have digital TV sets, or who subscribe to cable or satellite service, will not lose programming.
Preparations for the switch to digital television have been rocky, causing lawmakers and consumer advocates to seriously worry that television watchers, particularly low-income, rural and elderly Americans who rely most heavily on over-the-air signals, will lose access to their main source of news and entertainment. This week, federal officials said the program to distribute $40 coupons to consumers to help defray the cost of converter boxes has run out of money, so consumers who need the coupons may not receive them in time for the transition.
"With coupons unavailable, support and education insufficient, and the most vulnerable Americans exposed, I urge you to consider a change to the legislatively-mandated analog cutoff date," John Podesta, co-chair of the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Team wrote in the letter, which was sent to leaders of the Senate and House Commerce committees.
The government-mandated switch to digital television will free up wireless airwaves for public safety agencies and other advanced mobile services. An auction of those analog airwaves raised $19 billion for the government last year. Congress allocated $1.34 billion to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to distribute converter box coupons.
By early February, projections suggest the number of consumers on the waiting list to get a coupon could climb to 5 million, increasing by hundreds of thousands every day, the letter to Congress said.
Yesterday, Consumers Union urged Congress to delay the transition "until a plan is in place to minimize the number of consumers who will lose TV signals."
Lawmakers are looking for ways to make sure consumers who need coupons get them in time. "But with the date looming, moving the date back certainly warrants further discussion and may be a wise choice," Daniel Reilly, a spokesman for Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), chairman of the House subcommittee on telecommunications and the Internet, said yesterday.
Consumers Union also questioned the ability of the Federal Communications Commission's call centers to handle a flood of calls from confused television-watchers on Feb. 17.

I made these for Christmas ornaments this past year. Everybody loved them. But they don't need to be ornaments. They would be an awesome gift year round for someone's desk. You could add painted hearts and LOVE letters, to make a sweet little Valentine's photo gift.
I made the first bunch for family without thinking to take pictures to share with all of you. (duh). They are all made on paper mache blocks that I got for 50% off from Hobby Lobby for $1 each.
Then the day that I went to get another block for this tutorial (and my tree) was a Sunday. So they were closed, of course. Onward, ho, to Michael's, where I found this little 2″ wooden block for $1.29. Plus, I had a 40% off coupon. If I could go back and make them all again, I would probably make all wood ones. I don't dislike the paper mache, I just like the wood more.
First, you need to paint your block. On the paper mache blocks, I only painted the edges. On the wood blocks, however, I painted the entirety of the cut ends to act as a bit of a barrier so the glue wouldn't all soak in.
While the paint was drying, I cut out my photos. You can leave them square if you like, but I finally just got myself a rounded corner punch and must therefore use it on everything.
You can screw in the eye hook whenever after this point. I did it now (or don't, if you're not making an ornament). And then I used the modge podge generously to apply my photos, making sure they were pressed down evenly. For the paper mache blocks, I had to do this one side at a time and place something small and heavy on top of the photo to make sure it stuck down well.
Once that had a while to dry and the photos were all secure, I put two generous coats of modge podge over everything, giving time to dry in between coats. I made sure to really get around all of the edges. If you're new to modge podge, don't worry about the streaks and the fogginess. I assure you, it dries completely clear.
Ta-dah! An easy, inexpensive gift that's sure to please. Happy crafting!

Before the 1880's, the field of developmental biology had mainly been descriptive. Researchers would observe developing embryos and describe the changes that they saw. Now, a lot can be learned using this technique, but several developmental biologists recognized that a lot more could be learned by experimentation and manipulation of embryos.
Wilhelm Roux was an early proponent of embryo manipulation. In 1888, he published results that showed if one cell of a two-cell stage amphibian embryo was killed, only half of the animal would develop. However, at about the same time, another biologist named Hans Driesch was performing similar experiments with sea urchin embryos. He was able to separate the two cells of the embryos and keep them both alive. In 1892, he published results showing that each of the separated cells were capable of forming a complete (but half-sized) sea urchin embryo on their own.
These two different experiments raised more questions than they answered. The scientific community wasn't sure what to make of the conflicting results. Some believed Roux's results and argued that this was proof that even at the two-cell stage each cell had a predetermined fate and was destined to become a specific set of tissues and organs. Many of these scientists felt that since Driesch's experiments were done in sea urchin embryos, the results weren't representative of what happened in vertebrates.
However, there were many scientists who put more credence in Driesch's experiments. They believed that this was evidence that each cell in the early embryo was capable of generating all of the organs and tissues of the fully-formed organism. Many of these scientists wondered if Roux's method of killing one cell in the embryo was somehow affecting the remaining cell and its development.
Then along came Hans Spemann. Using very fine hair from a human baby, he was able to separate the cells of amphibian embryos at the two-cell stage and keep them alive by tying a knot between them. The results of this experiment were very surprising. In some cases, both of the separated cells produced fully-formed, half-sized embryos, but in others, one cell would form a complete half-sized embryo, and the other would form only the ventral half of the embryo.
Now, you may not be too familiar with the different body axes, but the dorsoventral axis comes into play here, so let's take a minute to talk about it and the other body axes. The dorsoventral axis organizes the body from back to belly. All vertebrates, and many other animals, have a dorsal side, which is the back side of the animal. Opposite the dorsal side is the ventral side, or underbelly side, of the animal. A second axis, called the anteroposterior axis, organizes the body from head to tail. The anterior end of the animal is located at its head. Opposite the anterior end is the posterior end, which is located at the tip of the animal's tail, or where the tail would be if that particular animal doesn't have one. The third major body axis is the left-right axis, which organizes the body from left to right.
Okay, now that we're all familiar with the different body axes, let's get back to Spemann's experiments, which on the surface might not make a whole lot of sense. After all, what good is the experiment if sometimes both cells could form a complete embryo, but other times one of the cells formed only the ventral parts of the embryo?
Fortunately, Spemann was very observant, and he noticed that if the first cleavage separated the future dorsal and ventral sides of the zygote, the cell from the dorsal side could form a complete embryo, and the cell from the ventral side produced only the ventral portion of the embryo. However, if the first cleavage left both cells with part of the dorsal side of the zygote, then both cells could form a complete embryo.
Spemann interpreted this result to mean that the dorsal part of the zygote contained some sort of 'organizer' which could direct the development of other cells in the embryo. He and his graduate student, Hilde Mangold, began performing a series of grafting experiments. Using gastrulation-stage amphibian embryos with different levels of pigmentation, they transplanted a chunk of cells from the dorsal lip, or the dorsal side of the lip of the gastrula, of one embryo to the opposite side of a second embryo.
Amazingly, the transplanted dorsal lip induced a second set of body axes and structures in the embryo. Not only that, but the difference in pigmentation between the graft and the host embryo allowed Spemann and Mangold to demonstrate that the graft was directing cells from the host embryo to change their fates and become structures and tissues they would not have become without the transplanted organizer.
Because of its ability to direct the differentiation of cells around it and organize body structures and axes, the dorsal lip of the amphibian gastrula is now called Spemann's organizer. Now you may remember that gastrulation in mammals happens differently than it does in amphibians. As a result, mammals don't have a dorsal lip, but they still have an organization center that has the same functions as Spemann's organizer, which is called the node. You may also hear the term Hensen's node, which refers to the equivalent of Spemann's organizer in birds.
Let's review. All vertebrates, and many other animals, have three main body axes. The dorsoventral axis organizes the body from back to belly. The dorsal side is the back side of the animal. Opposite the dorsal side is the ventral side, or underbelly side, of the animal. The anteroposterior axis organizes the body from head to tail. The anterior end of the animal is located at its head. Opposite the anterior end is the posterior end, which is located at the tip of the animal's tail, or where the tail would be if that particular animal doesn't have one. The third major body axis is the left-right axis, which organizes the body from left to right.
In the 1880's, developmental biologists began doing experiments that manipulated developing embryos in different ways to try to understand how things like cell differentiation and body patterning were controlled. Among these early experiments, the work of Hans Spemann stood out from the rest. He was able to separate the cells of amphibian embryos at the two-cell stage without killing either cell.
In these experiments, he observed that if the first cleavage separated the future dorsal and ventral sides of the zygote, the cell from the dorsal side could form a complete embryo, and the cell from the ventral side produced only the ventral portion of the embryo. However, if the first cleavage left both cells with part of the dorsal side of the zygote, then both cells would form a complete embryo.
Spemann interpreted these results to mean that the dorsal part of the zygote contained some sort of 'organizer' which could direct the development of the other cells in the embryo. He and his graduate student, Hilde Mangold, then used gastrulation-stage amphibian embryos with different levels of pigmentation in a series of grafting experiments. They transplanted a chunk of cells from the dorsal lip, or the dorsal side of the lip of the gastrula, of one embryo to the opposite side of a second embryo.
Amazingly, the transplanted dorsal lip induced a second set of body axes and structures in the embryo. These experiments resulted in the discovery of Spemann's organizer, or the dorsal lip of an amphibian gastrula which is capable of organizing the structures of the developing embryo. Eventually, the bird equivalent of Spemann's organizer was found and named Hensen's node. This was followed by the discovery of the mammalian equivalent, which was simply named the node.


Yeovil Town manager Darren Way spoke to local journalist Chris Spittles, in an interview for BBC Somerset, after his side had beaten Coventry City 6-2 on Monday 2nd April 2018.
CS: 6-2 away from home against Coventry City. How good does that feel?
DW: I thought our performance from start to finish today was very good. That would have raised a few eyebrows, looking at a team that were in very good form. I don't think they've conceded goals like that, or certainly not that many. Probably two or three has been their maximum, but it could have been eight at one stage. We had Alex Fisher's ruled out for offside, which was marginal. Jared Bird broke through one-on-one which they gave offside but it wasn't offside. So overall we have to be pleased and I think our supporters deserved a result like that.
CS: Before today, Coventry had the best defensive record in the division. They hadn't conceded more than two in a league game all season. How did you go about dismantling their defence in quite that fashion?
DW: We've had time to work on the training ground. We've talked about fight first, and play after. I thought we did that very well. There was a lot of blocking and tackling in the first half, and we earned the right to be able to penetrate a good team like we did. I thought some of the finishing was excellent. When you look at Surridge's finishing at the end there, he came on and he made an impact. It's the first time I've really felt as a manager, where I've had options on the bench. I've never had that before.
CS: Where does this rank in terms of the performance and the result in terms of your managerial career so far?
DW: Well it's got to be up there with being the best really. Coming to an arena like this, it wasn't so long ago that I was watching Craig Bellamy in the Premier League playing for Coventry. So to go up against a big club of that magnitude and be able to perform like we did today under pressure, was immense.
CS: Of course you're not quite safe, but this bodes well for the rest of the season. You've still got eight games left. You probably need a win or two, but if you can keep this standard of performance up, you'll have no problems will you?
DW: Well I think I've just seen the results there. Teams are going to struggle to gain a momentum of back to back wins, and we've done that. We're in good form. I've been supported in the (transfer) window and I feel that with the strength and depth that I've got in the squad, it's no fluke is it?
CS: Not only back-to-back wins but back-to-back away wins. I was speaking to you earlier on in the season when you couldn't get an away win and you couldn't get an away point. It's completely transformed on the road, isn't it?
DW: Well I keep saying about the age of the squad. It makes a big difference when you get experience. I was bringing on Oscar Gobern and I was bringing on Otis Khan and I never thought I would be doing that at the football club with what we are working with. So I am proud of the squad, I'm proud of the players, and I'm proud of the supporters and the way they supported the team today because it does make a huge difference, and I think they got value for money.
CS: What can this do for your strikers? You had three strikers on the pitch at various stages and they've all scored twice today.
DW: They have and they're full of confidence. That was good for Sam Surridge. Zokes just does what Zokes does best. Alex Fisher has had a run of games now. It's a lot easier when you have got the distance that Stuart Nelson has got with his kicking, because it puts you on the front foot straight away. So I'm just pleased all over really.
CS: This is the perfect warm-up for perhaps the toughest test of playing Luton on Saturday, and of course we all know what happened on the opening day. You'll be focussing now on this Luton game.
DW: Well you have to show mental toughness as a manager. I felt that we couldn't have done any more that day. We had a young team, and we've still got a young team now. I said against Colchester, we had a 19 and a 21 year old up front. The whole midfield four was 22, 21 and 23 years old, and the whole back four was 22 years old. So we're almost fielding at stages this season an Under-23s. I feel very proud of the effort and the energy that the players are showing. And who would have thought that we had an international break?
CS: You're in top form, and the message is to bring it on for Luton on Saturday.
DW: Yes, it's a home game. We've been very unfortunate with the weather, the pitch and the amount of games that we're going to have this year - I think it's 59 - and we want to finish the season strong. So you never know. As I've said, people would have looked at that score today, and it would have raised a few eyebrows. Mine are a little bit difficult to raise, but they do raise. It was a great result.

"You're a Grand Old Flag" er en amerikansk patriotisk sang. Sangen, en livlig march skrevet af George M. Cohan, er en hyldest til USA's flag. Udover de åbenlyse referencer til flaget, inkorporerer den bider af andre populære sange, inklusiv en af sine hans egne. Cohan skrev stykket i 1906 til George Washington, Jr., hans musical.

Sangen blev først opført offentligt 6. februar, stykkets åbningsaften, på Herald Square Theater i New York. "You're a Grand Old Flag" blev hurtigt den første sang fra en musical, der solgte over en million eksemplarer af partituret. Titlen og første linje kom fra en Cohan engang mødte; på Library of Congresss webside står der:

Sangen blev brugt i et stort produktionsnummer i filmbiografien om Cohan fra 1942, Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Simply sets me off my noodle,
It's that patriotic something that no one can understand.

"Way down south, in the land of cotton,"
Melody untiring,
Ain't that inspiring?

Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll join the jubilee!
And that's going some, for the Yankees, by gum!
Red, white and blue, I am for you!
Honest, you're a grand old flag!

2. vers

I'm no cranky hanky panky,
I'm a dead square, honest Yankee,
And I'm mighty proud of that old flag
That flies for Uncle Sam.
Though I don't believe in raving
Ev'ry time I see it waving,
There's a chill runs up my back that makes me glad I'm what I am.

Here's a land with a million soldiers,
That's if we should need 'em,
We'll fight for freedom!

Hurrah! Hurrah! For every Yankee tar
And old G.A.R.
Ev'ry stripe, ev'ry star.
Red, white and blue,
Hats off to you
Honest, you're a grand old flag!

Omkvæd

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.

You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.

Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.

But should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

National Labs Nurture Initiative
Nuclear research in Illinois, science education reflect diverse activity of US facilities network
By Scott Pendleton Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
SINCE World War II, vast technical advances have sprung from the blackboards and workbenches of the national laboratories owned by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). Military and civilian research programs at the score of labs around the country have developed the nation's nuclear arsenal and delved into the secrets of matter's fundamental building blocks. ``They are essential to many areas of endeavor in the United States,'' says Edward Frieman, chairman of a DOE task force currently studying the labs. ``If they were wiped out by the stroke of a pen,'' he says, the United States couldn't get along without them.
No one's threatening to wipe out the labs, but their role is being reexamined by Frieman's group at the request of Energy Secretary James Watkins.
``You can't run this whole complex as if the world hasn't changed. It has changed,'' Dr. Frieman says. The cold war is over. And there's a new national emphasis on energy supply, the environment, education, and national competitiveness, he says.
``The question is, what do we have to do about it?'' asks Frieman, who is the director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif., and a former director of energy research at DOE. The task force will make recommendations next fall to Admiral Watkins on a strategic vision to guide the labs and preserve their value as a national technical resource.
The Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) illustrates the value of the labs. Five years of tests remain, but at this point officials at the Argonne National Laboratory in Argonne, Ill., are confident of fulfilling nuclear energy's discredited early promise of clean, cheap, safe, inexhaustible power.
As if that weren't enough, the IFR could even burn all the long-lived waste accumulating at the current generation of reactors, simplifying the nation's storage dilemma. A very small amount of IFR waste can't be reprocessed into fuel, but its radioactivity lasts only 200 years, not millions.
``Here at the national laboratory, you have the various disciplines, the chemists, the physicists, the mechanical engineers, the electrical engineers, etc., that you can bring together, as we have done, to develop a whole new reactor technology,'' says Charles Till, who directs the IFR program at Argonne. ``No where else can you do that.''
As the flagship of DOE's advanced reactor program, the IFR is important, yet it represents only $100 million out of the $6 billion in research under way at the national labs.
Already the labs are increasing their involvement in education, a necessary precursor to research, and in transferring technology to industry, a natural follow-up activity. There are serious challenges in both areas.
``Our scientists are all maturing, and we need to start to replace them. We've noticed in fact that a lot of them are dying their hair white for some reason,'' jokes Sam Bowen, of Argonne's division of educational programs.
``A lot of kids are ... finding science to be something that's really painful and boring. And they don't want to do it,'' he adds. ``That means we're going to be suffering from a lack of supply of scientists.''
A national shortfall of 675,000 scientists and engineers by the year 2006 is foreseen. The cause is the declining proportion of white males, who traditionally have pursued science careers. It's up to minorities to fill the gap.
``Unfortunately, none of them are going into science,'' says Bill Kurtis, producer of the science television series ``The New Explorers,'' which is being carried on 230 PBS stations.
AT the behest of Watkins, the national labs are looking for ways to stimulate students' interest in science. Argonne's approach was to join forces with Mr. Kurtis. The lab helped to develop classroom materials and relevant field trips to go with ``The New Explorers,'' which portrays science as an exciting career, and offered the package to Chicago schools.
Some 18,000 Chicago students have been through the resulting program. Indications are that attitudes toward science are improving, Dr. Bowen says.
Now the program is going nationwide. The first episode aired last Sunday. The materials developed by Argonne are being made available to classrooms around the country, thanks to funding from Amoco Corp. and Waste Management Inc.
Alan Schriesheim, Argonne's director, says that the lab's prestige has enabled it to attract the scientists it needs. Nonetheless, certain disciplines are facing problems nationally. For instance, there aren't enough physicists to work on all the current projects to build particle accelerators.
Some concern has been aired over the fact that advanced programs in the sciences are increasingly filled by foreign students who will take their US degrees back to their own countries.
That isn't necessarily true, though, as in the case of Raj Sekar, an Indian-born mechanical engineer who became an American citizen and is ``here to stay.'' Mr. Sekar is working on one of Argonne's smaller programs, a project that promises to reduce diesel engine pollution to zero while doubling its power.
Commercialization is probably five years away. Sekar says he hopes an American company will capitalize on the technology, but ``more likely it will be Mitsubishi or Nissan.''
``I go to Caterpillar all the time. They always say, `Well, we don't have money for that kind of work. If government will fund it, we will do it.' That's where they come from,'' Sekar says.
That ``bottom-line mentality'' is a serious hindrance to getting lab-developed technology into the hands of the US private sector, according to David Goldman, acting director of DOE's Chicago operations office. He sums it up as ``lousy management.''
Congress, eager to see US businesses gain a competitive advantage from lab research, has passed a handful of helpful laws over the past decade. Companies can get exclusive use of lab inventions. They can keep secret intellectual property they develop jointly with the national labs.
There's been no flood of new technology to the private sector, Dr. Schriesheim says, but improvement is measurable. Industry has licensed 32 inventions, including a portable toxic gas detector and a lightweight fuel cell, from Argonne alone. The lab's scientists have a financial stake in developing commercial technology, since they receive 25 percent of the revenue from licenses. They ``could get rich,'' Schriesheim says.
Argonne even encourages its scientists to leave and found companies to exploit their inventions. Since 1984, 28 of the lab's employees have done so.

Q: How do I Edit a app.xaml file in runtime? How can I Edit a App.xaml in WPF in runtime?
ps. Trying to add a resource dictionary in a MergedDictionaries, but the file do not edit

A: You don't edit the App.xaml file at runtime, but you can add a ResourceDictionary into the MergedDictionaries via code:
Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(yourResourceDictionary);

I hope this helps.

A:
Trying to add a resource dictionary in a MergedDictionaries, but the file do not edit

Modifying the actual XAML source file at runtime will have no effect on the running app. That's because XAML files are compiled into BAML resources when you build, and the running app uses these BAML resources rather than the actual XAML source files.
XAML files should be created and modified by developers at design time. They are not used at runtime.
You can of course write to the actual source file in the project folder just like you would write to any other XML or text file, but it won't affect the running app.

Home Travel & Outdoors It's a Great Summer for Arkansas River Rafting
It's a Great Summer for Arkansas River Rafting
From Granite to Cañon City, outfitters are guiding trips down the Arkansas River with COVID-19 precautions in place. Here's what it looks like and why it's a great year to go whitewater rafting.
By Jeremy Jones -

By the time we reach Zoom Flume rapid about halfway through Browns Canyon on the Arkansas River, I'd swear our guide is dousing me on purpose. As our raft plunges through the Class III chute, a wave of water splashes over the front of the raft and delivers a brisk slap of Rocky Mountain snowmelt right in my face. I keep paddling through the swirling foam as the guide, Wes Harper, calls, "Forward two!" We bounce through the watery maelstrom and leave the roar of that rapid behind. Sure enough, my suspicions are confirmed downstream when Harper deftly spins the boat to run a rapid backward and make sure my wife in the back row can share in the soaking (though I'm sure he takes it easier on her).
Don't get me wrong—this is what we've come for: The thrill of outdoor adventure. The chance to laugh together and make family memories. An escape from the pandemic that has overrun our previous sense of normalcy. And, yes, an opportunity to get wet in one of Colorado's greatest rivers and take in the scenic beauty of Browns Canyon National Monument.
Out there, the river knows no coronavirus. It just keeps rolling and flowing—as all the great songs and literature remind us—undisturbed by the ups and downs, the sickness or health of human history. And Colorado's Arkansas River outfitters are paddling along with it, giving cooped-up locals and visitors the socially-distanced adventure of whitewater rafting. With social distancing and health precautions in place, this is a great summer to go whitewater rafting.
"As people are getting more comfortable practicing social distancing and best practices, I think people are looking for experiences like rafting," says Chuck Cichowitz, owner of Noah's Ark Whitewater Rafting and Adventure Company in Buena Vista. "It's actually been profound. You can see it on families and households and friend groups, the joy and exhilaration they're having being able to be out and do something for two to six hours on a boat or river trip. To be able to have that more normalized life experience and have the joy and laughter and the interaction and fun has really been quite extraordinary."

SINCE OPENING IN LATE MAY as part of Colorado's Safer at Home and in the Vast, Great Outdoors phase, Noah's Ark and other members of the Arkansas River Outfitters Association (AROA) are following strict health guidelines as directed by the state and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those include daily symptom screenings of all employees, wearing face coverings, no-contact check-in whenever possible and increased sanitization of all equipment, from life jackets and helmets to paddles and boats. Shuttle vehicles are operating at 50% capacity to allow more distancing within. Cichowitz tells me that Noah's is rotating all of its gear after each use and on a three-day cycle to allow extra time to disinfect.
Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment have emphasized the importance of outdoor recreation throughout the pandemic. AROA agrees that the fresh air and sunshine are benefits in diminishing the risk of coronavirus. "We have the uniqueness of being outdoors and having ultraviolet light, which has come to be one of the best allies we have in sanitizing," says Bob Hamel, executive director of AROA. "Covid doesn't last in ultraviolet, bright sunshine. [Outfitters] are using different solutions. We've always had to sanitized wetsuits, life jackets, helmets, rafting equipment … you just have to go another step with the types of cleaning solutions to mitigate COVID."

The river has cooperated this year with good flow levels for rafting. Despite some early melt-off of the snowpack due to a warm and windy May, water flows rebounded and stabilized by early June, Hamel says.
"As we come into July, I'd call it a typical flow profile through probably the third week of August," Cichowitz says. "So it's going to be great boating."
The day we are there, the Arkansas is flowing at about 1,400 cubic feet per second (cfs)—imagine 1,400 basketballs flowing by each second. It's an overall moderate flow for the Arkansas, strong enough for a fun, rollicking ride. No one falls out of the boat, but we all get wet.

MY FAMILY HAS COME TO RAFT at Noah's Ark on a late June weekend. It's a sunny Sunday morning, and while there is plenty of activity at Noah's headquarters, it's far from overflowing. As requested, nearly everyone is wearing masks—mostly buffs—from the outdoor check-in and health screening, through the normal rafting safety briefing, until we load onto the rafts where we're allowed to take them off.
We've chosen a half-day trip through Browns Canyon National Monument. It's a popular run, full of boisterous Class III rapids, and our pod of six rafts is filled mostly with families from Colorado. With approximately 28 guests, each family or friend group has its own boat.
The farther we float downstream, the more normal this adventure feels. Harper, 23, laughs with our kids, asking about their interests, telling jokes and animated stories. He points out interesting rock formations and describes the approaching rapids, directing us through various paddle strokes as we bounce and splash through them. Having worked at Noah's Ark seasonally for seven years, he knows this river well.
According to Cichowitz, Harper and this summer's crew are among his finest staff. Like most of the AROA outfitters, Noah's Ark is operating on a smaller scale, with about 50 seasonal staff instead of a usual 175. "We took the most experienced—kids that understood if you come this summer, you've got to be willing to work in the campground or help in the kitchen or help in another program as needed," Cichowitz says. "It's very similar to what it was like when we started the company. These men and women have all come in with such great attitudes: How can I help? What can I do to make it work this summer?"
After navigating the likes of Pinball, Zoom Flume, the Seven Stairs, Widowmaker, Raft Ripper and more, we've traveled about 10 miles through Browns Canyon. At the takeout, the kids and I submerge in the river for a final baptism. It's a cold 50-some degrees, but it's a refreshing jolt—a souvenir to carry in our memories as we don our masks again for the bus ride back to basecamp.

Before heading home, we stop for lunch in Buena Vista. Tip: Don't miss the elevated burgers of the Buena Viking. The food truck shares a courtyard with Deerhammer Distillery, which has its own walk-up window. There's open air space for social distancing, but both spots are buzzing during weekend lunch. So we take our burgers to go and opt for picnic style in the Buena Vista River Park.
Driving home, the familiar wide-open spaces of South Park are another scenic reminder that it has been months since I've been this far from home. I've missed the satisfying emotional uplift that always comes from Colorado roaming, even a couple hours from home. Cichowitz's words echo in my mind:
"I think people are incredibly appreciative for the opportunity to be outside and to be able to connect in that kind of environment. To go out and engage with the river and the experience has been like a rebirth for people, and their expression of joy and freedom to be able to go do that has just been heightened."
I know just what he's talking about.
Fast Facts About the Arkansas River

"The good thing about the Arkansas River is there's something for everybody," says Bob Hamel, executive director of the Arkansas River Outfitters Association. "If you're a family with little kids, Bighorn Sheep Canyon or Browns Canyon, if the kids are over 8 years old, are great stretches. If you're looking for more adventurous trips, we suggest the Royal Gorge or the Numbers stretch. So there's something for everybody, and it's all within easy driving from Colorado Springs, whether you come through Canon City or Buena Vista."
More than 100 miles of Colorado's best whitewater can be found from Granite to Cañon City, Colo., all within the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA), managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the Bureau of Land Management.
With an elevation drop of 4,650 feet along its 152 miles, the AHRA is located within Lake, Chaffee, Fremont and Pueblo counties, and runs through some of the state's most stunning natural features, including Browns Canyon National Monument, Bighorn Sheep Canyon, and The Royal Gorge, aka the Grand Canyon of the Arkansas.
Located between Leadville and Buena Vista, this steep, technical 13-mile stretch of whitewater is widely considered the best Class IV run in the state. It's a favorite among experienced paddlers and adrenaline seekers, with commercial trips usually open to the public mid to late summer.

"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting." "A product with good API and EDI components." "All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value." "The most valuable feature is stability." "The tool is very powerful and user-friendly." "The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas." "One [of the most valuable features] is the webMethods Designer. That helps our developers develop on their own. It's very intuitive for design. It helps our developers to speed the development of services for the integrations." "Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it.

"I would like to have a dashboard where I can see all of the communication between components and the configuration." "The logging capability has room for improvement. That way, we could keep a history of all the transactions. It would be helpful to be able to get to that without having to build a standalone solution to do so." "The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG." "Upgrades are complex. They typically take about five months from start to finish. There are many packages that plug into webMethods Integration Server, which is the central point for a vast majority of the transactions at my organization. Anytime we are upgrading that, there are complexities within each component that we must understand. That makes any upgrade very cumbersome and complicated. That has been my experience at this company. Because there are many different business units that we are touching, there are so many different components that we are touching. The amount of READMEs that you have to go through takes some time."

"This is an expensive product and we may replace it with something more reasonably priced." "It's a good deal for the money that we pay." "Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise.

Santa Maria dell' Orto is a 16th century guild church with a fabulous Baroque interior at Via Anicia 10 in Trastevere. Pictures of the church on Wikimedia Commons are here. There is an English Wikipedia page here.
The dedication is to the Blessed Virgin Mary, under a special title of "Our Lady of the Garden". The Biblical reference is Song of Songs 4:12.
Foundation Edit
This church is a late 15th century foundation, and began as a result of popular devotion to an icon of Our Lady.
The story is that a small-holder in Trastevere (not then completely built up within the city walls) was cured of a serious illness after making a private vow to her, and as a result put up an icon next to the gate into his land (orto means "garden", but also "smallholding" or a small farm). This was venerated by the locals and miracles were reported, which led to the construction of a small devotional chapel. The date of this is uncertain, but 1488 has been claimed as the foundation year (the first documentary reference to the chapel is 1494).
In 1492 Pope Alexander VI gave a charter to the new Fraternità di Santa Maria dell'Orto, which was a guild inviting membership from professional people working on smallholdings. As well as market gardeners, the membership included craftsmen and pork butchers; the latter could raise their own pigs for slaughter, and so counted as smallholders.
New church Edit
The brotherhood wished to build a full-sized church, and initiated the project in 1489. The original architect, who proposed a plan based on a Greek cross with a central dome, is unknown.
Work stopped in 1513, presumably because money ran out, but resumed a decade later and the church was finally consecrated (although not finished) in 1524. In this period the architect may have been Sebastiano da Como, who was paid for his services despite his lack of architectual experience.
Then there was another hiatus, during which Giulio Romano contributed designs, and finally the finishing period of building activity took place between 1542 and 1563. A student of Michelangelo called Guidetto Guidetti was the architect (also responsible for Santa Caterina dei Funari), and he recognised that the previous work was sub-standard for the purpose of providing a dome (always beware of amateur architects). So, he converted the plan to that of a Latin cross and inserted cross-vaulting instead of a dome.
The façade was begun by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, who received geometric assistance from Giovanni Giovannoni. It was completed by Francesco da Volterra in 1577. Final internal decorations were completed in 1579.
The Archconfraternity Edit
The building project was not realized by the confraternity alone, but was a joint effort with several guilds or Università of professional people in the retail and craft trades. Women were members as well, unusually. The traditional number of guilds was thirteen, invoking Christ and the twelve apostles obviously.
In 1588 the brotherhood was given the status of an Archconfraternity. This ran an hospital for its members, offered dowries for poor unmarried women (who had to be "honest" as well), and accumulated substantial property in the 17th century which was the time of its greatest prosperity.
Japanese Catholics Edit
The association of the church with the Catholics of Japan is an old one. Before the Japanese ruling establishment decided on a policy of destroying Christianity in the country (the first Japanese martyrs were in 1597), a delegation came to Rome in 1585. This was the so-called Tenshō Embassy, which consisted of four young noblemen.
As part of the reception, they were treated to a trip down the Tiber to the open sea. A storm put the party in serious danger, and they invoked Our Lady of the Garden because they had visited this church before embarking. The storm ceased, and this gave rise to the tradition of celebrating Mass with the Japanese expatriate community on 8 June, the anniversary of the event.
One of the delegation was Julian Nakaura (Nakaura Jurian), who was tortured to death as a Jesuit priest in 1633 and later beatified. An icon of him is in the church.
Baroque makeover Edit
The prosperity of the archconfraternity allowed it to commission Baroque decorative elements in fresco and stucco work which make up the luscious sumptiousness of the interior today. The first stage of an ambitious makeover project for the interior were drawn up in 1699 by Luigi Barattone, and completed by 1706. This involved the apse, transept and side aisles. Then, Gabriele Valvassori continued work on the nave which was completed in 1730. Simone Giorgini and Leonardo Retti were responsible for the stucco figures, and Nicolangelo Aldini with Giuseppe Bilancioni were responsible for the garlands of fruit and flowers which are such a prominent feature of the church's interior.
The frescoes were added by Giuseppe Andrea Orazi, Giacinto Calandrucci, Andrea Procaccini and Giovanbattista Parodi. Valvassori was also responsible for the floor, laid in 1747 in a unified geometric pattern.
19th century Edit
There was a restoration of the church in 1825, sponsored by the guild of millers (Università dei Molinari).
The Roman Republic of 1849 proved a disaster, since the hospital was closed and never re-opened. In 1852 the Papal government took over the empty hospital building for a tobacco factory, and used the original garden for an extension (tobacco was a government monopoly).
Most of Archconfraternity's remaining property was sequestered by the Italian government after the fall of the Papal government in 1870, but it managed to avoid suppression and remained in possession of the church.
It had to repair serious damage in 1891, caused by an explosion of 225 metric tons of gunpowder stored at a fort at Pozzo Pantaleo on the Via Portuense.
The 20th century saw a decline in the fortunes of the edifice, engendered by the Archconfraternity's loss of income. The surrounding area became dominated by industry and secular institutions, and in the 1950's the Archconfraternity closed the church except for occasional Masses. Serious damage was done to the fabric by nearby building operations, and the church was almost lost.
However, a restoration was begun in 1984 to prevent collapse. Work continued, with interruptions owing to funding problems, until the start of the new century. The building is now mostly in good condition, and has been regularly open since 2008.
It is justified pastorally by being used by the expatriate Japanese Catholic community, although it is not yet listed as a national church and no regular liturgical events in Japanese are advertised.
The church has a plan of a Latin cross, and is a straightforward edifice of a nave of three bays with side aisles, followed by a transept and then a sanctuary of a single bay with a semi-circular apse. The ends of the transepts also have apses containing chapels, and there are three rectangular external chapels off each side aisle. Hence, there is a total of eight side chapels.
The fabric is in brick. The nave and transept are under the same pitched and tiled roof. The short presbyterium has a roof at a slightly lower level.
There is no campanile, but on the end of the left transept is an interesting bellcote designed like a miniature ancient Roman triumphal arch. There are three arches for the bells, two small ones and the central one larger, and four engaged derivative Corinthian columns on each side. The composition is crowned by a triangular pediment.
Unfortunately, the building of a large school opposite in the 19th century means that it is difficult to get a good view of the wide two-storey façade in its entirety.
The building material is red brick, with architectural details in travertine. The composition is
dominated by the entrance propylaeum, which has a pair of large stone Ionic columns in the round, supporting an entablature and a segmental pediment which intrudes into the upper storey. The propylaeum is brought forward from the plane of the façade, and within it is a recessed arch containing the actual doorway. The latter has plain moulding, and the former a pair of brick Doric pilasters fitting against the columns. The tympanum of the arch is empty (except for the standard coat of arms of the diocese), and the stone capitals of the pilasters are extended across the façade as a string course. The entablature of the propylaeum is also extended in the same way to provide the entablature of the first storey, and its frieze bears a dedicatory inscription. The cornice is denticulate.
To either side of the propylaeum are three Ionic brick pilasters, irregularly spaced. Between the first two on either side are the aisle doors, smaller with triangular pediments. Above these is a pair of lunette windows, and four blank round-headed niches complete the ensemble.
The second storey has four Corinthian brick pilasters supporting an architrave and cornice only, with an undersized triangular pediment over the inner two only. There is a large round-headed window in a rectangular frame, and above this is a clock face. These features are 19th century, and replace an oculus. A pair of blank round-headed niches are inserted between the pilasters.
On the roofline are several "obelisk" finials (actually elongated pyramids), probably added in 1762. There are three on each side over the first storey and five shorter ones on top of the second, making a total of eleven.
Fabric Edit
The church interior is incredibly lush, and has beautiful frescoes and stucco work as well as polychrome marble revetting. Most of the stucco is gilded. Garlands and swags are everywhere, recalling the church's dedication.
The interior has a social historical witness, as it demonstrates the existnce of a confident and wealthy middle-class in Rome at the time of its creation. There is a refreshing lack of the bombastic funerary memorials, heraldic totems and coats-of-arms that the Roman nobility liberally displayed in other churches.
The short nave has three bays with arcades. The arches are separated by gigantic Ionic pilasters with swagged capitals, which support an entablature which runs around the interior. The barrel-vaulted ceiling springs from this. There are three large rectangular windows in each nave side wall, the tops set into triangular lunettes in the vault.
The arcade archivolts spring from Doric imposts, have garlands on their intradoses and more vegetation in their spandrels. Over the central arch on each side are plaques proclaiming that "The Guild of Small Shopkeepers Did This" (Università dei Pizzicaroli fece fare).
The ornate ceiling has a central fresco panel showing an Assumption by Calandrucci of 1707. The impressive stucco work was executed by Gabriele Valvassori, and includes more plaques mentioning the shopkeepers.
Over the entrance is the organ gallery, the instrument itself dating from the middle of the 19th century. The case is spectacular, being in the form of an ancient triumphal arch with four Ionic semi-columns separating three archways (the central one larger). On top are two stucco angels playing trumpets. The solid gallery balustrade has a central panel with an epigraph proclaiming the restoration by the millers in 1825, and to the sides are two interesting landscapes of the Tiber waterfront dating from that restoration. Appropriately, they feature floating flour-mills driven by the river current.
The entrance doorcase in walnut was installed in 1784 by the millers.
The floor is worth examining. The entire church was paved in one design by Valvassori, and the high-quality white and grey marble geometric floor that resulted displays epigraphs from several of the guilds associated with the church. One of these, in the central nave, proclaims the guild of small shopkeepers yet again, with the year 1756. This is when the floor was finished; it was actually begun in 1747, and different guilds paid for various sections of it over the nine years that it took to raise the money. You can see the various years of completion of these sections in the other guild epigraphs elsewhere.
The triumphal arch of the transept has an exceptionally lush festoon on its archivolt. Above, there are two putti holding a ribbon that reads DeiparaTriumphanti "to the triumphant Mother of God". They are accompanied by two allegorical figures alluding to attributes of Our Lady. The one on the right holds the Rod of Aaron and has the sun-disc on her breast, while the one on the left holds a mandolin (a psalterium), and is accompanied by a lamb. The assemblage is by Leonardo Retti.
Above these figures is a large tablet proclaiming not only "the shopkeepers did this", but also "and they paid for it" -just to make sure you got the message after all.
Crossing Edit
The crossing of the transept has a shallow little saucer cupola on pendentives. The frescoes here were joint efforts in 1706 by Giuseppe and Andrea Orazi of 1706. The main cupola fresco shows The Immaculate Conception surrounded by stucco cherubs frolicking in the vegetation, and the pendentives show The Virtues of Our Lady. The design of the stucco work is by Barattone, and executed by Leonardo Reti and Simone Giorgini.
In the floor below is the best of the guild floor epigraphs. This one belonged to the guild of fruit-sellers (Università dei Fruttaroli) 1747, and is a spectacular piece of pietra dura work involving yellow Siena marble and a wreath containing the various fruits then on offer. There is quite a variety. The putti on the intrados of the sanctuary triumphal arch hold a ribbon also mentioning this guild, so presumably they paid for the decoration of the crossing.
The sanctuary has a single bay, with an apse and an arched recess in each side wall. The altar aedicule is against the far wall, and above it is a window in the conch with mostly clear glass but containing 18th century stained glass showing the Marian monogram made up of orange tree foliage and fruit.
The apse wall is divided into two registers by a cornice. The fresco scheme which completely covers it and the conch above is a joint effort by Federico Zuccari and Taddeo Zuccari, who were brothers. It dates from 1556. The wall panels show scenes from the life of Our Lady, with her marriage to Joseph and the Nativity to the left, and the Visitation and escape to Egypt to the right. The latter is unusual, for it features two angels bending tree branches down for the Christ-Child to play with. This is not part of the iconographic tradition for this event.
The conch has an Annunciation, with the two figures on either side of the window.
The side wall niches contain paintings by Giovanni Baglione, who also did those in the vault. To the left, the main painting shows The Annunciation to St Joseph, and the lunette above shows The Angel Warns St Joseph to Flee to Egypt. To the right, the main work is The Birth of Our Lady, and above is The Prophecy to SS Joachim and Anna (the latter were her parents, who were warned of the significance of her birth beforehand).
The vault has three panels, showing The Death of Our Lady, The Assumption and The Coronation of Our Lady in Heaven.
High altar Edit
The aedicule has a pair of Corinthian columns in multi-coloured pavonazzetto marble, supporting an entablature and a broken and separated segmental pediment. In the gap are curlicues flanking a putto's head. The altar as a whole was designed by Valvassori, and finished in 1755. The frieze of the entablature ascribes the altar to the fruit-sellers.
On the pediment halves used to be stucco angels by Giorgini and Retti.
The altarpiece is the original 15th century fresco icon, in an elliptical tondo surrounded by a gilded glory with putti. It depicts the Madonna and Child, and has kept the jewelled crowns attached in 1657 (most venerated icons of Our Lady in the city crowned in such a way have had their crowns removed in restorations).
Because there is now an "altar pro populo" for Mass facing the congregation, the high altar is now the permanent home of an enormous Macchina delle Quarantore. This is a 213-candle candelabrum which is lit on Holy Thursday. It is a very interesting object, but obscures the altar.
The side aisles and chapels are described in an anti-clockwise order, beginning to the right of the entrance.
Right hand aisle Edit
The right hand aisle vault has three tondi, frescoed by Giuseppe and Andrea Orazi again 1708. They are, bottom to top, The Glory of Our Lady, The Glory of St Catherine and The Glory of St Bartholomew.
The counterfaçade here has a depiction of The Dream of Joseph by the same artists, 1706. The confessional dates to 1755, and has a water-mill on it as a reminder of the guild that donated it. A matching confessional is in the same place in the other aisle.
Chapel of the Annunciation Edit
The first chapel on the right is dedicated to the Annunciation to Our Lady, and has an Annunciation of 1561 by Taddeo Zuccari as its altarpiece.
The chapel was restored in 1825 by one L. Buzzi. The two works on the side walls are by Virginio Monti, depicting St Joseph on the left (1878) and the archangel Gabriel on the right (1875). They are the result of this artist's first public commission.
Unfortunately, the fresco work in the vault has been destroyed by rain getting in.
The sponsors were the brokers (Università dei Sensali).
Chapel of St Catherine of Alexandria Edit
The second chapel on the right is dedicated to St Catherine of Alexandria, and the altarpiece depicting her having a vision is by Filippo Zucchetti 1711. He also executed the side wall works, depicting SS Peter and Paul. The vault showing angels with symbols of martyrdom is by Tommaso Cardani, 1711.
The vault fresco has some engaging putti.
The sponsors were the pasta-makers (Università dei Vermicellai).
Chapel of SS James, Bartholomew and Victoria Edit
The dedication of the third chapel is given as SS James, Bartholomew and Victoria. The altarpiece is a Madonna and Child with Saints by Giovanni Baglione of 1630, and on the altar itself is an icon of Bl Julian Nakaura.
He also executed The Martyrdom of St Andrew to the left, and The Martyrdom of a Deacon (it is not clear which saint this is) on the right.
The vault is 19th century, and presumably depicts St Victoria with angels because the female saint in the central tondo is holding the palm of martyrdom.
The sponsors were the vine-dressers (Università dei Vignaioli).
Chapel of the Crucifix Edit
The right hand end of the transept is the Chapel of the Crucifixion, with an altarpiece crucifix on the 17th century. The scenes from the Passion depicted in the apse are by Nicolò Trométta (Da Pesaro), 1595.
The vault fresco here is of the Resurrection, by Calandrucci 1703 who also did the angels holding the Instruments of the Passion on the arch intrados and in the conch. The tondo over the doorway in the far wall depicts Pentecost, by Andrea Procaccini with stucco angels by Retti.
The sponsors were the chicken-sellers (Università dei Pollaroli).
A curious part of the decoration is said to be a beautifully carved turkey. It was placed here in the 18th century by the Guild of Chicken-sellers, to commemorate the arrival of the first turkey from America.
Chapel of St Francis of Assisi Edit
The left hand end of the transept is a chapel dedicated to St Francis of Assisi. The altarpiece is a 17th century statue of him, and the frescoes showing scenes from his life are by Trométta again. The vault showing The Glory of St Francis is by Mario Garzi, early 17th century. The far wall tondo depicts SS Joachim and Anne, and is by Procaccini again with more angels by Retti.
The sponsors were the millers (Università dei Molinari).
Chapel of SS Ambrose and Charles Edit
The third chapel on the left is dedicated to SS Ambrose and Charles Borromeo. This chapel was also restored by Buzzi in 1825. The altarpiece by Baglione depicts the two saints with the Madonna and Child, the third saint being St Bernardine. He also painted St Ambrose restraining a maddened horse on the right wall, and St Charles visiting plague sufferers on the left. These three works were executed in 1641.
God the Father is depicted in the vault.
The sponsors were the slipper-makers (Università dei Ciabattini).
Chapel of St John the Baptist Edit
The second chapel on the left is dedicated to St John the Baptist. The altarpiece depicts The Baptism of Christ, and is by Corrado Giaquinto 1750. The side wall paintings are by Giuseppe Ranucci 1750, and show the saint preaching to the right, and being beheaded to the left.
The sponsors were the shopkeepers (Università dei Pizzicaroli).
Chapel of St Sebastian Edit
The first chapel on the left is dedicated to St Sebastian. The paintings are by Baglione, with the saint in the altarpiece, St Anthony of Padua to the right and St Bonaventure to the left. These were executed in 1624.
The sponsors were the gardeners (Università dei Hortolani).
Left hand aisle Edit
The right hand aisle vault has three tondi, frescoed by Giovanni Battista Parodi. They are, bottom to top, The Glory of St Sebastian, The Glory of St John the Baptist and The Glory of St Charles.
The counterfaçade here has a fresco of The Adoration of the Shepherds by Giuseppe and Andrea Orazi.
The carved marble holy water stoup here dates from the end of the 15th century, and has a representation of the Madonna and Child on the bowl. It is thought to have come from the original devotional chapel which this church replaced.
According to the tourist website 060608 (March 2018), the church is open:
Weekdays 9:30 to 12:30, 15:00 to 17:30, and for Mass on Sundays. CLOSED IN AUGUST.
The church is a little tricky to find; the easiest way is to get the number 8 tram to Piazza Mastai, exit that piazza by the north-east corner (Via della Luce), then take the first right twice.
The owner of the church is the Arciconfraternita di Santa Maria dell'Orto (Brotherhood of St. Mary of the Garden), which is responsible for all aspects of its administration. For further information and elucidation you can try e-mailing:
According to 060608 (June 2018), Mass is celebrated:
Sundays 11:00.
There is a Mass in Japanese at 9:30 on the third Sundays of the month.
This is the last church in Rome to have a Macchina delle Quarantore on Holy Thursday, which is an enormous 213-candle candelabrum lit before the altar.
The feast-day of Our Lady of the Garden is the third Sunday in October. For the celebration the church is decked out with fruit and vegetables, and apples are blessed and distributed at the end of Mass.
