"Within the twenty years this country is going to rule the world. Kings and Emperors will soon pass away and the democracy of the United States will take their place.When the United States rules the world, the Catholic Church will rule the world.Nothing can stand against the Church. I'd like to see the politicians who would try to rule against the Church in Chicago. His reign would be short indeed" – Roman Catholic Archbishop James E. Quigley (October 15, 1854 – July 10, 1915). Chicago Daily Tribune, May 5, 1903.
"If the liberties of the American people are ever destroyed, they will fall by the hand of the Roman Catholic cult's clergy." –General Lafayette under President George Washington
"The Roman Catholic motto is ourselves alone for fellow Roman Catholics. We must defeat all heretics (non Catholics) at the ballot box. The holy father states that negative tactics are fatal. The demands of the holy father (the pope) are that the public services should be 100% Roman Catholic soon. Care must be taken that no suspicion may be raised when Roman Catholics are secretly given more government jobs than Protestants, Jews and other heretics." -Archbishop Gilroy
"There is, ere long, to be a state religion in this country, and that state religion is to be the Roman Catholic."

1st. The Roman Catholic is to wield his vote for the purpose of securing Catholic ascendancy in this country. 2nd. All legislation must be governed by the will of God, unerringly indicated by the pope.3rd. EDUCATION must be controlled by Catholic Authorities, and under education the opinions of the individual and the utterances of the press are included, and many opinions are to be forbidden by the secular arm, under the authority of the Church, even to war and bloodshed." (Father Hecker, Catholic World, July 1870.)
"Undoubtedly it is the intention of the pope to possess this country. In this intention he is aided by the Jesuits, and all the Catholic prelates and priests." (Brownson's Review, May 1864)
"IF THE LIBERTIES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE EVER DESTROYED, they will fall by the hands of the CATHOLIC CLERGY." (Lafayette.)

"Harmony between the different social classes must be re-established; peace must reign on earth. This is the task I intend to perform for you; this is the duty I promise to fulfil that all may once again be subject to the dominion of God, Jesus Christ and His Vicar on earth." – Saint Pius X, The New Italian Life Of The Saint, by Fr. Hieronymo Dal-Gal, translated and adapted by Rev. Thomas F. Murray, M.A., fourth revised impression, published by M. H. Gill and Son Ltd., 50 Upper O'Connell Street, 1954, pg. 104.

Speaking of the time, about 500 A.D., when the Roman Empire was crumbling to pieces:] "No, the [Catholic] Church will not descend into the tomb. It will survive the Empire . . . At length a second empire will arise, and of this empire the Pope will be the master–more then this, he will be the master of Europe. He will dictate his orders to kings who will obey them"–Andrea Lagarde, The Latin Church in the Middle Ages, 1915, p. vi.
"Fear, then, our wrath and the thunders of our vengeance; for Jesus Christ has appointed us [the popes] with his own mouth absolute judges of all men; and kings themselves are submitted to our authority." Pope Nicholas I (858-867 AD)
"It is the office of the Papacy to tread under foot kings and emperors." J.H. Ignaz Dollinger, in The Pope and the Council, (London), page 35
"[It is error to believe that] The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church." Pope Pius IX, The Syllabus (of Errors), Issued in 1864, Section VI, Errors About Civil Society, Considered Both in Itself and in its Relation to the Church, #55.
"[It is error to believe that] Kings and princes are not only exempt from the jurisdiction of the Church, but are superior to the Church in deciding questions of jurisdiction." Pope Pius IX, The Syllabus (of Errors), Issued in 1864, Section VI, Errors About Civil Society, Considered Both in Itself and in its Relation to the Church, #54.
"[It is error to believe that] In the case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers (Church and civil), the civil law prevails." Pope Pius IX, The Syllabus (of Errors), Issued in 1864, Section VI, Errors About Civil Society, Considered Both in Itself and in its Relation to the Church, # 42.
"Democracy is a mischievous dream where the Catholic Church does not predominate." –Brownson's Review.
"There is one, and only one, sure democracy, the Catholicism of the Popes" -The Catholic World, Oct, 1937.
"Some dwell on the vastly increased tolerance shown in this country now to Catholics and Catholic thugs… It betokens a decay of Protestantism." –Catholic World, Oct. 1935, p.66
The old Protestant culture is about at the end of its rope… Why can't we make the U.S. Catholic in legislation, Catholic in justice, aims and ideals?" –Father F. X. Talbot, editor of America, official Jesuit magazine for the U.S. statement in New York Globe Dec. 14, 1930
"Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without peril to the Catholic Church." –Bishop O'Conner of Pittsburgh.
"If Catholics ever gain sufficient numerical majority in this country, religious freedom is at an end. So our enemies say; so we believe" –The Shephard of the Valley, journal of the late bishop of St. Louis.
In the book Confusion Twice Confounded, Monsignor Joseph H. Brady states that the U.S. Supreme Court is wrong in decisions regarding "separation of Church and State." He says: "A sound view of the Constitution in its relation to religion probably awaits a change in personnel in our highest tribunal." –The Register, Jan. 23, 1955.
"But Constitutions can be changed, and non-Catholic sects may decline to such a point that the political proscription [ban] of them may become feasible and expedient. What protection would they have against a Catholic state?" –The State and the Church, pp.38,39, by Miller and Ryan, imprimatur of Cardinal Hayes.
"The Catholic Church in this nation must live on to accomplish her work, even though our Republican form of government disappears." –The Catholic World, April, 1935, p.12. "
They [Catholics] must penetrate wherever possible in the administration of civil affairs… all Catholics should do all in their power to cause the constitution of states, and legislation to be modeled on the principles of the true Church." –Encyclical of Leo XIII.
Under the influence of Germanic customs and concepts, torture was little used from the 9th to the 12th centuries, but with the revival of Roman law the practice was reestablished in the 12th century… In 1252 (Pope) Innocent IV sanctioned the infliction of torture by the civil authorities upon heretics, and torture came to have a recognized place in the procedure of the inquisitional courts. -New Catholic Encyclopedia, arts. "Inquisition", "Auto-da-Fe'," and "Massacre of St Bartholomew's Day."
HOLY OFFICE STILL EXISTS
Pope John Paul II Revives Inquisition
The thought of a revived Holy Office of the Inquisition would pacify some and offend others. Nevertheless, the "Holy Office" still exists. Only it's name has been changed. Pope John Paul II has been instrumental in its revival. One may argue that this Ratzinger run agency is merely an attempt by the Catholic Church to root out communism or backslidden priests and their practices. However, with John Paul II's objective to implement "God's mandate" by creating a global church-state which will administer from traditional Roman Catholic theology, is enough cause for alarm. Malachi Martin has already stated in his book, "The Keys of this Blood," that the pope will not tolerate any belief systems that oppose his, not on a civil or church level. In John Paul II the world will behold a tyrant who will coldly execute direct orders against those whom he deems are heretics or immoral. Moreover, like his papal predecessors, John Paul II will carry out his "Godly mandate" in the name of Christ, or perhaps Mary. May God help us all. -By Kathleen R. Hayes Feb 1991, NRI Trumpet Page 3
The Encyclical of Pope Pius X, issued in 1864, asserted:
the right to require the State not to leave any man free to profess his own religion;
the right to employ force;
the right to claim dominion in temporal things;
the right to have the entire control of public schools;
the right to hold princes and kings in subjection;
the right to treat all marriages as invalid which are not solemnized according to the forms of the Council of Trent;
the right to prevent the State granting to immigrants the public exercise of their own worship;
the right to require the State not to permit free expression of opinion;
"The Pope's authority is unlimited, incalculable; it can strike, as Innocent III says, wherever sin is; it can punish every one; it allows no appeal and is itself Sovereign Caprice; for the Pope carries, according to the expression of Boniface VIII, all rights in the Shrine of his breast. As he has now become infallible, he can by the use of the little word, "orbi," (which means that he turns himself round to the whole Church) make every rule, every doctrine, every demand, into a certain and incontestable article of Faith. No right can stand against him, no personal or corporate liberty; or as the [Roman Catholic] Canonists put it-"The tribunal of God and of the pope is one and the same."-Ignaz von Dollinger, "A Letter Addressed to the Archbishop of Munich" 1871; as quoted in MacDougall, The Acton Newman Relations (Fordham University Press) pp. 119,120.
During the Reagan administration, President Ronald Reagan, after much pressure, appointed an ambassador to VATICAN CITY! When W. Kenneth Dan was asked why we need an ambassador in Vatican City, He replied; "It would allow the USA to influence the political decisions of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH!"
THIS LITERALLY VIOLATES THE FIRST AMENDMENT!AMENDMENT I. :Religious establishment prohibited. Freedom of speech, of the press, and right to petition. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.Vatican claims power over ALL Churches
"No man has a right to choose his religion." (New York Freeman, official journal of Bishop Hughes, Jan 26, 1852)
"The Church…does not, and cannot accept, or in any degree favor, liberty in the Protestant sense of liberty." (Catholic World, April 1870)
"Protestantism has not, and never can have, any right where Catholicity has triumphed." (Catholic Review, June 1875)
"Religious liberty is merely endured until the opposite can be carried into effect without peril to the Catholic Church." (Rt. Rev. O'Connor, Bishop of Pittsburgh.)
"It no longer can be said today that the U.S. is a Protestant country." –Cardinal Strich of Chicago, quoted in Time Magazine, Aug. 5, 1955 "
"It is error to believe that Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true." Pope Pius IX, The Syllabus (of Errors), Issued in 1864, Section III, Indifferentism, Latitudinarianism, #15.
"It is error to believe that hence it has been wisely decided by law, in some Catholic countries, that persons coming to reside therein shall enjoy the public exercise of their own peculiar worship." Pope Pius IX, The Syllabus (of Errors), Issued in 1864, Section X, Errors Having Reference to Modern Liberalism, #78.
"It is error to believe that Moreover, it is false that the civil liberty of every form of worship, and the full power, given to all, of overtly and publicly manifesting any opinions whatsoever and thoughts, conduce more easily to corrupt the morals and minds of the people, and to propagate the pest of indifferentism." Pope Pius IX, The Syllabus (of Errors), Issued in 1864, Section X, Errors Having Reference to Modern Liberalism, #79.
"This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it….a pestilence more deadly to the state than any other. Experience shows, even from earliest times, that cities renowned for wealth, dominion, and glory perished as a result of this single evil, namely immoderate freedom of opinion, license of free speech, and desire for novelty.
"Here We must include that harmful and never sufficiently denounced freedom to publish any writings whatever and disseminate them to the people, which some dare to demand and promote with so great a clamor. We are horrified to see what monstrous doctrines and prodigious errors are disseminated far and wide in countless books, pamphlets, and other writings which, though small in weight, are very great in malice." Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos (On Liberalism and Religious Indifferentism), Encyclical promulgated on August 15, 1832, #14 & 15.

Until you get meaningful feedback, you cant really understand what a big difference a life settlement can make.
When most producers think about life insurance, they think of term, universal life, whole life, interest sensitive life, survivorship life or variable life. They think of cost – "I can get it for you cheaper," the tax benefits, creative ways to pay for it, and how much commission they will make on the sale.
What tends to get lost in the numbers and the spreadsheets is what life insurance actually does for the beneficiaries. You can talk about providing money for children to go to college, for families to get to stay in their homes, for businesses to continue and for loans to be repaid, but until you actually deliver a death claim check, you never truly understand what life insurance is really about.
This week, I got a note from one of our life settlement clients. It reminded me of my first experience with a death claim. I was in my 20's and had only been in the business for a few short years.
I went to the funeral and afterwards visited the widow to pay my respects. She made me feel so important as she introduced me to everyone in the room. "This is Robin – she's my insurance agent. Because of her, I can keep the kids in the house and keep the store going." I'll never forget that moment. It made me proud of what I do and made me want to sell more.
When insurance is purchased, the usual expectation is that it will stay in force indefinitely or until death. Life has a way of changing and, over time, policies become no longer needed, wanted or affordable and are often lapsed or surrendered. Just like the proceeds from a death claim, a life settlement can make a major difference in someone's life. Money can be used for health care services, long term care costs, repaying debt, supplemental income, charitable giving or for gifting. In trying to convince home office executives why they should let their producers do settlements, we talk about the responsibility to clients to discuss a life settlement as an alternative to lapse or surrender and as a way to maximize the value of a life insurance policy. But until you actually get meaningful feedback from a life settlement client, you can't really understand what a life settlement does and what a big difference it can make.
"I'm sorry I never got a chance to tell you how much I appreciate everything you did to help John and I through this most difficult time. Looking back at the struggles and challenges we faced through our financial difficulty and trying to fight several health issues — not to mention cancer for the second time —well, it was like God had sent an angel to reassure us that everything was going to be just fine.
"I don't think we've ever had any one fight harder on our behalf. It has most assuredly taken a huge burden off in many areas. The stress level has dropped immensely. Some day if you ever make it to Charleston, West Virginia I'd love to meet you and give you a huge hug!
This policy was about to lapse, but an attentive agent caught it in time and told them about the settlement alternative. It makes us proud of what we do and makes us want to do more.
Life insurance . . . life settlements . . . what's it all about? It can't hurt to ask — it can only hurt not to.
Who needs a life settlement brokerage?


Still open - a short length of the low up platform survives adjacent to the crossing.
Notes: The London & North Western Railway opened Wootton Pillinge station in 1905 to cater for the new rail-motor service between Bletchley and Bedford which began on 1 December 1905. It was one of seven new halts. Company records from 1905 show an eighth halt called Brickyard Halt near Wootton Pillinge but this never appeared in a public timetable and there is no further reference to it.
The halt served the small village of Wootton Pillinge, a largely rural community that, in 1897, had become the site of B.J.H. Forder's brickworks. The works was served by sidings close to and alongside the halt which were controlled by a signal box. As built the halt was very basic with a 50ft low platform constructed of old sleepers at rail level with a nameboard and one oil lamp but no shelter. The rail-motors were fitted with folding steps for passengers boarding or alighting at Wootton Pillinge.
Along with the other rail-motor halts on the Bedford - Bletchley line, during WW1 Wootton Pillinge closed on 1 January 1917 as an economy measure. The halt reopened on 5 May 1919.
By 1910, the Wootton Pillinge Brick Company was selling 48 million bricks per year and in 1923, it merged with the London Brick Company (LBC). The brickworks developed virtually across the railway line and as the wagon capacity of the old sidings was exceeded, they became an extension for a larger group of sidings developing at Wootton Broadmead. The Wootton Pillinge signal box was closed and a new box was opened called 'Forder's Sidings' which controlled heavy movements from the works.
In 1926 the LBC began to build a 'garden village' for its employees at Wootton Pillinge; the village was to be named Stewartby after Sir Halley Stewart, the former Liberal Parliamentary candidate for Peterborough and first chairman of the Wootton Pillinge Brick Company. Following the building of the village, Wootton Pillinge ceased to be a halt from 1 January 1928 and the LMS renamed the station Stewartby on 8 July 1935. The original sleeper platforms were replaced with concrete paving before any of the other halts on the line were rebuilt. A timber waiting shelter was provided at the south end of the down platform, adjacent to the crossing. Tickets were sold by the crossing keeper and a small ticket window was installed in the keeper's hut. As the Wootton Pillinge signal box had closed a new external lever frame was installed by the LMS adjacent to the crossing keeper's hut in the early 1930s. The Stewartby brickworks was connected to the Marston Vale line via a 2 ft 11 in narrow gauge railway operating on overhead electrification. This is believed to have been installed in the 1930s and it lasted until 1960.
With the introduction of DMUs in 1959, the low platforms were replaced with longer conventional height platforms built from timber. Stewartby station became unstaffed from 15 July 1968.
After reaching a peak production level of 738 million bricks in 1973, demand for the product declined and the LBC (trading as Easidispose) signed an agreement the following year to re-use its empty clay pits for landfill transported from London. One or two daily container trains began transporting 1,000 tons of waste from Hendon to handling facilities at Stewartby. Stewartby was one of the last stations un the UK to retain oil lighting; the lights not being replaced until some time after June 1981.
The London Brick Company was acquired by Hanson plc in 1984. More than £1 million was spent on Stewartby Brickworks in 2005-7 in an unsuccessful attempt to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions. In February 2008, Hanson closed brickmaking operations at Stewartby even though it met the EU regulations; production of the London Brick is now concentrated at Peterborough. The four chimneys remaining were due to be demolished upon closure but they have since been listed for preservation of Bedfordshire's brick-related history and will remain. Much of the Marston Vale site is being redeveloped for housing although some buildings remain and the new Hanson HQ building is also located there.
A new signalling control centre was built at Ridgmont as part of the Bedford — Bletchley route modernisation in 2004. This centre replaced all the signal boxes on the route, and the level crossing gates were replaced with lifting barriers at that time. The original gates had previously been replaced with new metal gates in the 1980s. As part of the route modernisation the 1959 up platform was replaced with a new platform on the south side of the level crossing. The reason for staggered platforms is to avoid road traffic being held up by trains waiting at the platform before proceeding over the crossing.
Stewartby, in common with others on the Marston Vale Line, is covered by the Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership, which aims to increase use of the line by involving local people. Services are operated by a Class 153 single-car diesel multiple unit and a 2-car class 150 unit. The MVCRP encourages local communities to 'adopt a station' by setting up a group of people to look after, and improve, the stations. Stewartby has yet to be adopted. Stewartby is the nearest station to the Marston Vale Millennium Country Park.

A group of local businessmen first promoted a line to Bedford in 1844. The proposal was supported by engineer George Stephenson. A public meeting was held on 23 April 1844 where there was some discussion about where the line should form a junction with the London & Birmingham. Stephenson was keen that the junction should be at Bletchley and although there was spirited opposition his proposal was eventually accepted.
During the construction of the Bedford line, the London & Birmingham Railway amalgamated with the Grand Junction Railway to form the London & North Western Railway who took over the running of the line.
Intermediate stations from Bletchley were Fenny Stratford, Ridgmont, Lidlington and Manston (later renamed Millbrook). The line opened on 18 November 1846; the line from Oxford - Bletchley opened on 20 May 1851. The final link from Bedford to Cambridge opened on 7 July 1862 provided an important cross-country line between Oxford and Cambridge, forming one of the few east-west routes with the capability of reaching the east coast ports. Most services, however, ran from Oxford to Bletchley and from Bletchley to Cambridge.
A rail-motor service between Bletchley and Belford was introduced on 1 December 1905. Seven new stations were opened at Bow Brickhill, Aspley Guise, Husborne Crawley, Wootton Pillinge, Wootton Broadmead, Kempston Hardwick and Kempston & Elstow. An eighth one called Brickyard Halt is shown in company records near Wootton Pillinge but this never appeared in a public timetable. Whereas the Great Western Railway named such additional unstaffed stations 'halts' the London & North Western Railway referred to them as 'motor' or 'rail-motor' stations, and subsequently there has been uncertainty about whether Bow Brickhill and the others should be called 'halts'. The Ordnance Survey practice for the Bedford Railway motor stations was to identify them as halts until the London Midland Region ceased to use this suffix in 1968.
The rail-motors were superseded by pull-and-push units which continued in operation until the introduction of DMUs in 1959.
The Second World War intensified traffic on the line as never before. With the return of peace and the nationalisation of the run-down railway network the newly formed British Railways Board was looking to close unprofitable lines.
In 1955 the Railway Modernisation Plan proposed improvements to cross-country facilities between Oxford and Cambridge with the aim of maintaining a link between the major main line railways outside the congested Greater London area thereby allowing freight traffic to be transferred between three railway regions and easing the burden on London marshalling yards. Within a few years the policy changed and the line was not upgraded with the Bletchley flyover remaining as a monument to the fruitless proposal.
An attempt was made to close the Oxford - Bletchley - Cambridge line in 1959 but local pressure succeeded in winning a reprieve. There was some relief when Dr Beeching did not include the cross country Oxford to Cambridge line in his closure proposals in 1963, but just one year later the British Railways Board published closure plans for the whole route. The introduction of new diesel trains in the 1960s allowed British Railways to run much faster trains, and the need for a cross country service declined as passengers found it quicker to travel between Oxford and Cambridge via London. The lines between Oxford and Bletchley and Bedford and Cambridge closed after the last day of service on 30 December 1967; the section between Bletchley and Bedford remained open, although downgraded.
All of the stations lost their goods and parcels facilities, and every station except Bletchley became an unstaffed halt from 15 July 1968. Closure was once again proposed, and it was announced that the remaining section of the Oxford - Cambridge route would close in October 1972. There were numerous objections to the closure which was postponed until a suitable replacement bus service could be introduced. Once this was in place closure was announced for 31 December 1972.
The Bedford Rail Users' Association was formed to fight the closure, and the opposition was so strong that British Rail was forced to postpone once again, pending an appeal by local groups. At this time government thinking on rail closures was changing and a grant was provided to maintain the service. With the development of the large new town of Milton Keynes, which incorporated Bletchley, the line began attracting new customers.
In 1973 a 20-year contract between the Greater London Council and the London Brick Company assured the line's future. The contract was worth £10m to British Rail who began operating block trains between new sidings at Stewartby and a new handling depot at Hendon.
For much of the twentieth century this 16-mile line had a particularly distinctive character, its closely-spaced stations being either in the Gothic Revival style or diminutive halts. The numerous staffed level crossings also gave the line a certain charm; even in the mid 1980s the passenger would be aware of gate-keepers standing at each crossing as their train passed. The landscape was also distinctive between Bedford and Ridgmont as the route was hemmed in by forests of tall chimneys and massive clay pits. Nowhere was this more the case than at Stewartby. From 1968 until its replacement in 1984 on a new route into Bedford (Midland) the Bedford – Bletchley line had its eastern terminus at Bedford St Johns, an unstaffed 'halt' an inconvenient distance from the main line station.
The Bletchley to Bedford line closed on 23 July 2004 for rebuilding. This included re-signalling, the replacement of crossing gates with lifting barriers and the staggering of platforms at Stewartby, Lidlington and Aspley Guise. The line reopened on 6 September 2004 controlled from new Marston Vale Signalling Centre and Ridgmont.
The service is now operated by Marston Vale Community Rail Partnership part of London Midland who operate services on the West Coast Main Line from London Euston previously run by Silverlink and in the West Midlands previously run by Central Trains. The franchise was originally due to expire in September 2015 but in March 2013 was extended until June 2017.
The Bedford - Bletchley (Marston Vale) Line is one of the two remaining sections of the former Varsity Line (Oxford - Cambridge) still in passenger use. In the 2011 Autumn Statement the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, announced the allocation of £270 million for the East West Rail Consortium to reinstate the Oxford – Bletchley – Bedford section of the Varsity Line. The service will link the Marston Vale Line (calling at Bedford, Lidlington, Woburn Sands and Bletchley only) to Winslow, Bicester Town, Oxford and Reading. The Consortium hopes later to reopen the Bedford — Cambridge section, for which a new route may be required, possibly involving the use of the East Coast main line south from Sandy then the Hitchin – Cambridge line, with a new north-to-east chord just north of Hitchin.
On 16 July 2012 the Coalition Government announced that the Marston Vale route would be electrified, as will the currently disused line from Bletchley to Oxford. This would form part of a wider 'Electric Spine' stretching from Yorkshire and the West Midlands to Southampton and South Coast Ports.
When the Wootton Pillinge Brick Company opened their works it was on the west side of the line but as production increased the works expanded with the railway running through the middle of the huge industrial site. The works is approaching its peak production in this view looking north-east from the level crossing c early 1960s. The platforms were raised to standard height a few years earlier when the push-and-pull steam service was replaced with DMUs.
1886 1:2,500 OS map shows the Green Lanes crossing before the arrival of the halt or the brickworks. There is a crossing keeper's cottage to the east of the crossing.
1925 1:2,500 OS map shows the halt with two short platforms and no buildings. The crossing keeper's cottage, seen to the east of the level crossing, has been replaced with a new building by the LNWR. Wootton Pillinge signal box is seen to the north of the halt. This controlled access to the siding running into the Wootton Pillinge brickworks which had developed on the west side of the line.
1938 1:10,560 OS map. By this date the works had expanded to the north and east. All the original buildings of the Wootton Pilling brickworks have been demolished. With the expansion of the works the signal box closed and was replaced with a new box at Forder's Sidings which is off the map to the north. The new 'garden village' of Stewartby is shown between the old Wootton Pillinge village and the railway line. The village housing and town community centre was designed by the noted neo-Georgian architect, Sir Albert Richardson, with each house deliberately placed at an angle to its neighbour.

Stewartby station looking north-east in September 1967. The up platform is well lit with oil lamps placed at regular intervals; the down platform was not quite so well lit with only two lamps - there were four a few years earlier. The brick kilns are seen behind the down platform. There was a narrow gauge tramway operating on overhead electrification running in front of the kilns. This lasted until about 1960 and all evidence of it had been removed by 1965. By this date the kilns were loaded using forklift trucks.
Stewartby station up platform seen from an approaching Cambridge-bound train in December 1967, a week before the Oxford - Cambridge service was withdrawn. The lever frame is seen bottom right between the crossing and the keeper's hut. Note the small ticket window to the left of the hut door. Note also a small section of the low platform in front of the hut; this was retained to avoid having to rebuild the hut when the platforms were raised. The original platform consisted of old sleepers but these were replaced with concrete paving slabs in the 1930s.
Stewartby station looking south-west c late 1960s. The platform lighting has been considerably reduced with only one oil lamp remaining on each platform. The crossing keeper's cottage is seen behind the platform. This is not the original cottage but a late nineteenth century replacement. It is very plain compared with other crossing keepers' cottages on the line and follows the LNWR's standard design for company employees. A conveyor belt is seen crossing the line to the south of the station. This dates from the 1960s and runs to the new clay pits that were excavated at this time to the south of the station.
Green Lane level crossing c late 1960s. The crossing keeper stands by his hut. The keeper was also responsible for selling tickets until 15 July 1968 when the halt became unstaffed. Note the timber waiting shelter on the opposite side of the crossing.
Brick workers are seen arriving at Stewartby station to wait for the next train to Bedford St Johns c late 1960s. At this time there were 17 trains a day. There was an early morning (05.48) night shift workers' train that ran non-stop between Bletchley and Stewartby.
Stewartby station looking south-west from a Bedford DMU in May 1973. The conveyor belt in the background is the only evidence of the heavy industry that would be seen in the opposite direction.
Stewartby crossing keeper's hut and lever frame in February 1977. Part of the earlier low platform is seen in front of the hut. The 'paytrain' poster on the notice board indicates that the station is now unstaffed. The crossing keeper sold tickets from the hut until 15 July 1968.
Stewartby station looking north-east along the Bletchley platform in February 1977.
Stewartby looking south-west in March 1981. The station took on British Rail's Corporate Identity in 1977. At Stewartby that meant new white and black running-in boards and the reinstatement of two of the oil lamps on the original posts. This was one of the last BR stations in England to retain oil lighting.
Stewartby station looking north-east from the up platform on a bleak, wet day in March 1981. By this date brick production at Stewartby was in decline. Three years later the London Brick Company was acquired by Hanson plc.

MicroLED Display for Apple Watch Could Cost 3 to 4x OLED
By Barry Young
Wei Chen, Apple VP display products, announced that Apple would use its own microLED display in the Apple Watch and that in the future it would extend to smartphones tablets and even MacBooks. This week, Ross Young of DSCC chimed in to confirm LG Display will begin production of microLED displays starting in the second half of 2024, giving it enough time to produce panels for Apple to release a microLED Apple Watch in 2025, not the 2024 window that had previously been suggested. Apple rarely adopts new technology earlier than rivals, possibly to reduce the risks. It was a latecomer when it comes to OLED, so to be the first to adopt microLEDs is totally out of character and appears to be a way to test the market acceptance before a wholesale adoption of the technology.
Industry sources report that Apple could be working with a Malaysian company it has invested. The Malaysian company could produce the LED chips while the backplane and module production would be provided by LGD. Both Samsung Display and LG Display declined to comment on their possible partnership with Apple on microLED production, as well as the client's possible discontinuation in using their OLED panels. The microLED display is expected to be introduced in the high end Ultra model or Apple could possibly create a new price point with an Ultra Pro model, given that a microLED could be 3to 4x the cost of an OLED.
Figure 1: Apple Watch Ultra (2022) Source: Apple
The 2.1" OLED used on the Ultra, which according to Counterpoint's BOM analysis costs ~$17.50. A recent report from the MicroLED Association expects the display to be populated by 10×10 µm2 LEDs, with 5 µm spacing producing a pixel pitch of 30 µm x 45 µm
Table 1: LED Chip Output vs, Wafer Size Source: MicroLED Association
Apple's Watch Series 8 has a resolution of 448×368 pixels, or 494,592 LED chips. The MicroLED Association assumed the use of 6" wafers with a blue LED epiwafer LED stack that complete with chip processing, costs about $2,500. A single 6" wafer with a usable area of around 16,000 mm2 will produce 61.8 million LEDs with the area of each chip (plus the spacing) about 0.0002353 mm2 or 235.3 um2. A 10×10 um2 chip is an attainable size with today's technology, although it requires very fine chip handling and other related technologies. Assuming today's MicroLED yield of ~90% and 10% redundancy, a comparable Apple Ultra would require 604,501 chips, each costing $0.04043/thousand or $24.44 per panel. In addition the process would have to absorb the transfer costs, the repair and or the replacement of chips failing during the transfer, estimated at ~10% or $2.44. The backplane and the module accounts for ~$10.00 so the total cost of the display is estimated to be $47.76 or about 2.7x the cost of a comparable OLED, as shown in the next table.
Table 2: Calculated MicroLED Watch Display Cost Source: OLED-A
The promise of the microLED is both increased brightness, which could be beneficial to customers using the watch outdoors and increased time between charging. However, the average EQE for RGB OLEDs is ~30%, while a 10×10 µm2 blue microLED has an EQE of 20% at a current density of 5 A/cm2. Adding the loss from a color filter would reduce the EQE for the microLED to around 10%.
Figure 2: Blue EQE vs. Current Density by LED Size Source: Lumileds
The benefit of using microLEDs would be higher contrast, the ability to achieve a higher luminance in bright ambient conditions, but the power consumption will likely be higher than OLEDs at most luminance levels.
Apple isn't the only company taking a look at microLED technology for its wearables. A new report has Samsung Display considering building a microLED fab for Samsung watches and in China, BOE, CSoT, Tianma and Visionox are all reportedly building microLED fabs.
There are alternative approaches to fabricating a full color microLED, including
Blue LEDs that are converted to white using phosphor of QD film (similar to miniLED displays,) augmented by a color filter. The LEDs are mass transferred using a stamping technique as provided by X-Display. We chose to use this concept in developing the display costs.
Growing RGB LEDs, on separate wafers and then transferring (stamping) them unto an interim wafer to create the RGB pattern, and then mass transferring the pattern unto the substrate. The positives for this approach are the elimination of the color filter and its 50% luminance loss. The down sides are 1) the two-step mass transfer and the accompanying lower yield and higher repair cost, 2) the lower EQE for red and green, which offsets the benefits of no color filter and 3) a more comprehensive design for redundancy
Blue LEDs that are transferred (stamped) to a substrate, converted to red and green using QD's, while a blue sub-pixel allows the blue light to flow thru, similar to the way Samsung's QD-OLEDs are constructed. Since SDC is the only company with the technology, this approach is unlikely to be used by LGD.
Wei Chen mentioned the extension of microLEDs to smartphones, for which the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a resolution of 2796×1290, or ~11m sub-pixels. Using 10×10 µm2 LED chips that would cost $4,374 if grown on 6" wafers. Clearly, this is not feasible, but using a smaller die, 1×1 or 3×3µm2 and an 8" wafer would significantly reduce the LED cost.

Senior Coordinator Andrea Bottner traveled to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in July to participate in the U.S. Embassy's ceremony honoring Dr. Ruth Halperin-Kaddari as a recipient of the Secretary's Award for International Women of Courage, and to meet with women leaders in both Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Dr. Halperin-Kaddari is the Director of the Ruth and Emanuel Rackman Center for the Advancement of the Status of Women at Bar-Ilan University's Faculty of Law. The Secretary's Award was presented in recognition of Dr. Halperin-Kaddari's role in actively eliminating discrimination against women in the State of Israel and in the international arena. In discussing the prestigious honor, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Richard H. Jones said "The award is being given to Dr. Halperin-Kaddari for her social leadership and her work for the advancement of women and social change in Israel by means of her expertise in feminism and law."
Ms. Bottner was accompanied by Deborah Emmert, Senior Advisor for the Broader Middle East and North Africa. As part of their visit to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, they held a number of substantive meetings with women's rights organizations, including the Israel Women's Network, Isha L'Isha (Women to Women), The Center for Jewish-Arab Economic Development, the Jerusalem Center for Women, and with Israeli and Palestinian members of the International Women's Commission.
"I am so impressed by the Israeli and Palestinian women I have had the honor to meet with during this trip," said Andi Bottner. "Their activism, and their strength and courage, are to be commended. I applaud their work, and will follow with interest their on-going achievements in women's rights."

Vote Holly J!
RobAlister	 July 8, 2010 at 11:34 am
I wonder if this is Anya being the two-faced girl. Hmmm…
Wkndwarrior25	 July 14, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I truly believe than Anya is going to lie about being pregnant. They said her And sav kept a secret together maybe the secret is the truth. Sav might try to use this to win sympathy votes in the election.
Madamedegrassi	 July 8, 2010 at 11:45 am
I feel like Holly J can be a lot more responsible at being president then Sav… Vote HOLLY J!
shaquira	 July 8, 2010 at 11:46 am
looks lie Holly J is probly mad at Anya for not voting for her
shaquira	 July 9, 2010 at 3:32 pm
ooops! type-o i meant to put looks LIKE
Isabel	 July 8, 2010 at 12:08 pm
VOTE HOLLY J
cf	 July 8, 2010 at 12:15 pm
anya looks veryyy different without her braces but shes still pretty
Gianna	 July 8, 2010 at 12:47 pm
Haha, I was totally one of the people to suggest this to Kary. xD
Anyways. I do think that this is Anya being the 'Two-faced Girl'.
Also, I don't think Sav should be president. I vote Holly J. :D
Monique	 July 8, 2010 at 1:26 pm
I vote Sav! Who's with me? (probably no one, but that's okay).
Lakehurst89	 July 8, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Is it just me or does Sav's shirt kind of look like a subtle reference to the Obama Hope posters? if so, cool.
Lalala	 July 8, 2010 at 2:14 pm
The episode descriptions from MSN spoiled the winner of the election. -_-
JAYJAY	 July 8, 2010 at 3:20 pm
I vote Holly J Sinclair.
I<3CanadianTeenDrama	 July 8, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Aww Anya looks so pretty without her braces. When I first heard she was getting them off, I couldn't really picture it.
AJ	 July 8, 2010 at 3:52 pm
HJ's clothes are the best i mean shes the tits man
Austin Evans	 July 8, 2010 at 5:42 pm
I want a Holly J shirt… :(
I kind of now understand why Holly J and Sav are going to hook up. Because I couldn't really see her going for him or sleeping with him with no reason or with any feelings behind it. Maybe she really wants to be president and in control, she will do anything to get that. If I'm wrong, than that will be something new and interesting to see!
Watching Degrassi "Going Down the Road" now xD
DTNG	 July 8, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Wasn't Holly J Vice President in Season 9 or was that Student Council president?
J.kart	 July 8, 2010 at 6:42 pm
She appointed herself class president in season 8, so season 9 being the second semester she was still president then. So this year she's actually having to compete for that spot. I personally think that Holly J would be a better president (IMO) because honestly Sav is such a "fruitcake" there's no telling whats going to happen with him in charge.
J	 July 9, 2010 at 12:11 am
She didn't run in S8, The Shep appointed her to the position, it's mentioned in Uptown Girl.
I<3CanadianTeenDrama	 July 9, 2010 at 12:53 am
Oh I hope you right. Haha you just gave me some hope.
Melissa	 July 8, 2010 at 6:41 pm
I was thinking that possibly Anya was only pretending to be campaigning for Sav, and Holly J is using herself as a way to manipulate Sav. In the carnival promo we see Holly J throwing knives as Sav so maybe she's getting him back for what went down between Anya and him, but who knows ….
herbieIIDX	 July 8, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Oh my god, it's like Holly Jong Il vs. Barack Savbama for Degrassi President. Hilarious.
Holly	 July 8, 2010 at 9:54 pm
Did anyone ever think that "the two-faced girl" means pregnancy. Technically if u are pregnant you have two faces.
DTNG	 July 8, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Being two faced is a mixture of being a backstabber and a coward IMO. A person who talks shit/plots/schemes behind your back but when around them act like everything is just fine
And what was Holly J running for in season 9? She was running for something until Declan's mom said she was eliminated because they dated…i can't remember
JAYJAY	 July 9, 2010 at 12:12 am
I think it was some leadership thing that Declan's Mom was in charge of.
jane	 July 9, 2010 at 12:26 am
I've been watching degrassi since it first started. I think the boiling point is going to be a really great set of episodes. :)
Ok I can't copy and paste the link bc I'm on my iPod, but go to "ny pix morning news" and the latest article is a video with charlotte arnold and raymond ablack… They give a hint and I'm praying they are just trying to tease us because I swear if these two get together I'm going to Canada to have a little talk with the writers…
DTNG	 July 9, 2010 at 1:11 am
Thanks, im watching it now. They just showed a clip of Breakaway i think, with Sav,Holly J & Drew…im about to finish watching the rest now

http://weblogs.wpix.com/news/local/morningnews/blogs/2010/07/degrassi_cast_members.html
Looks like Sav and Drew are buddy buddy already. Maybe family friends or something???
Or by association. Alli likes Drew, so that's a possibility.
Also @ The Dot when Drew came in and said he just started going to Degrassi, Sav was sitting there, so they probably started talking then
JAYJAY	 July 9, 2010 at 1:45 am
I was wondering if maybe Drew and Adam used to go to Lakehurst but moved and now they moved back to Degrassi. LOL but i'm probably over thinking it.
It just seemed like people knew him already.
Kaylynn	 July 9, 2010 at 8:14 am
Michael C.	 July 9, 2010 at 9:31 am
i love the not a single mention of the movie. I feel like they are gonna hype up season 10 so much it could never live up to our expectations.
Nick	 July 9, 2010 at 10:16 am
I feel like that's what happens every season:p
Gianna	 July 9, 2010 at 11:53 am
Hmm. It seems like Drew might have a little crush on Holly J. Didn't see that one coming..Seriously.
dynamiteex	 July 9, 2010 at 1:58 pm
the new cameras make it look like its a movie :D
Michelle	 July 9, 2010 at 10:31 am
Is it just me or does Sav look really cute this season :)

i saw the clip…i highly doubt drew has a thing for holly j, he was just commenting "why ru talkin to her" thing. but…..in the teennick thing it did said fitz has a thing for smart girls so im wondering how that going to turn out. ideas?
jhon	 July 10, 2010 at 3:22 pm
When did anya get her braces taken off? Because I just noticed.
Amie	 July 10, 2010 at 3:31 pm
she said it on her Twitter back in March… She looks nice, no?
Anya	 July 22, 2010 at 10:45 am
me to
Yes she does look a lot better . No offense but it seems as if she was gonna have them on forever. Lmaooo
Eva or Eve	 July 15, 2010 at 1:11 am
I looovvee the Sav shirts but I woul vote for Holly J too. She does seem more responsible. But Sav will definetly have some fun with it too
mercdegrassi:)	 July 19, 2010 at 11:48 pm
I agree, HJ all the way. Sav is smart and all but he has too much to focuz on with his Anya, break up/make up plots. I think HJ does a very good job at prez, she knows what to give the school and what not. Sav has no experience running anything, he just takes a backseat and lets everyone else run things, his family, Anya and even in his band, he was last to make decisions. I just think that Sav is not the better candidate, but if he does win, HJ will have something else that she will need to do to get into Yale, and I think that will make the season more interesting–maybe a sport lol…Holly J (who always wears a skirt/dress) playing Lacrosse or Basketball…that would be a cool sybplot and how she starts kicking a**…nice subplot
Jamie	 July 20, 2010 at 6:14 pm
I like the sub-plot about Clare better, lol! (I won't spoil it but I say the episode already on youtube XD)
i love anya and sav is really cute and my name is anya to
Cece	 July 24, 2010 at 1:27 pm
They should sell those shirts!

After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Siem Reap Afternoon at Angkor Wat - The crowning jewel of Khmer architecture, Angkor Wat is the national symbol and the highlight of any visit to Cambodia. To approach the temple, first cross the vast moat, continuing along a broad causeway lined with naga balustrades. As you enter the main building, ascend through a series of galleries and courtyard before reaching the central sanctuary, which offers beautiful views back over the causeway and across the surrounding countryside
Day 13: Siem Reap
Visit Angkor Thom - The fortified city of Angkor Thom covers an area of 10 square km. Enclosed by a wall and wide moats, the city includes many of Angkor's most popular sights. Enter by the monumental South Gate over a causeway lined on either side by statues of demons and gods, each carrying a giant naga. Continue to the Terrace Of The Elephants and the Terrace Of The Leper Kings, former spaces for public ceremonies. Visit the ruined Baphuon, Royal Enclosure and Phimeanakas before continuing to the mysterious Bayon Temple. In this temple, one of the most popular and compelling in Angkor, explore the galleries of beautifully preserved bas relief and ascend narrow stairs to reach the central sanctuary, where you will find giant stone faces smiling enigmatically down at you from every angle. Visit Ta Prohm - one of the most popular attractions of Angkor as much of the jungle has not been cleared and it looks very much as most of the Angkor monuments would have appeared when European explorers first stumbled across them. Finally, visit Phnom Bakheng - a hill that provides one of the best views of Angkor Wat. Visit Preah Khan - a temple built by King Jayavarman VII with towered enclosures and shoulder-hugging corridors in a jungle setting. Preah Khan covers a very large area but the temple itself is enclosed within a rectangular wall of around 700 by 800 meters.
Journey through local villages to Banteay Srei – 'Citadel of the Women'. The most intricately carved temple in all of Angkor. This pinkish hued temple is adorned with beautiful, deep carvings and often leaves viewers amazed at its detail. Learn the stories behind this masterpiece and capture some incredible photos.

Located in the heart of Cambodia, this extraordinary lake swells up to seven times its original size during the monsoon season. Its ecosystem is one of the richest and most diverse in the region. This boat trip will explore the floating fishing villages that live at the edges of the lake, passing submerged forests and fishing farms. Spend the afternoon shopping in the various markets and shops in Siem Reap with transport available to carry all those souvenirs.
Heading out of the town, we drive on a newly paved road to the most remote and ruin temples of BoengMealea which is a temple located 60 km east of the main group of temples at Angkor Wat and built during the reign of King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century. Its primary material is sandstone and it is surrounded by moats. The basic layout is three enclosing galleries around a central sanctuary. There is extensive carving of scenes from Hindu mythology, including the Churning of the Sea of Milk and Vishnu being borne by the bird god Garuda. Causeways have long balustrades formed by bodies of the seven-headed Naga serpent. Smaller in size than Angkor Wat, the king main monument, BoengMealea nonetheless ranks among the Khmer empire larger temples, continue to PeurngKumnou carving on the foot of Kulen Mountain and then lunch box will provide in the deep jungle. Return to Siem Reap afternoon free at leisure

Reese Witherspoon Sells Hello Sunshine for $900 Million to Continue Uplifting Women Storytellers
By Samantha Molina
Triple-threat Reese Witherspoon brings clear eyes to the full heart of modern American entertainment. While her early Hollywood endeavors largely took place on film, in recent years, Witherspoon has also transformed the narrative for females — both on and off of the screen.
Witherspoon founded the media company Hello Sunshine to shed new light on intersectionality within female storytelling. Weaving the threads of community, film, television, and books, Witherspoon has created ties for females across the globe to share their truth. Her adaptations between the screen and the written word have proved themselves especially successful, bringing Big Little Lies, Little Fires Everywhere, and The Morning Show, among other hits, to life.
While some would solely celebrate the accomplishments of Witherspoon's five-year-old Hello Sunshine, Witherspoon chose to look ahead towards the next five years and what it would mean for females in the entertainment empire moving forward.
As of early July 2021, Witherspoon began considering a sale for Hello Sunshine. By early August 2021, Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine sold to a media venture to be run by former Walt Disney Co. executives and backed by Blackstone Group for approximately $900 million, according to initial reports by The Wall Street Journal.
Why is Hello Sunshine's sale a step in the right direction?
In a society that is, to this day, reluctant to grant females the same rights and privileges as their male counterparts, locating valor to convey female stories remains ever-challenged. Just examine the disparities between the two industries that provide females narrative platforms: publishing and entertainment.
On the one hand, the diversity in publishing survey released by Lee & Low Books in 2019 highlighted that women made up 74% of the industry's executives, editors, sales specialists, marketing & publicity teams, book reviewers, literary agents, and interns. Interestingly, as seen in The Atlantic, 80% of National Book Critics Circle nominees in 2019 for autobiographical pieces were written by female authors, as were 60% of fictional pieces, 40% of nonfiction pieces, 40% of biographical pieces, and 40% for poetic pieces.
On the other hand, the percentage of top-grossing films with female protagonists drastically decreased from 40% to 29% between 2019 and 2020, and in the top 100 grossing films at the time, women made up only 21% of directors, editors, executive producers, producers, and writers, according to the Center For The Study of Women in Television at California State University, San Diego.
Although Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine certainly do not carry the responsibility of Hollywood as a whole, the media sensation found a niche unlike any other entreprenista. By blending the strong female presence in publishing and lacking female representation in the entertainment industry, Witherspoon has begun expanding a more equitable path for future female storytellers. Still, as Hollywood slowly betters its female representation, countless industries leave room for the same improvement. That work is not just for those with star power — it primarily lies in the hands of the greater public.


A promise is a promise; even if it is late. Do you watch the safety videos on planes? Or are you like me and thinking 'Yeah, yeah, I already worked out how to fasten the seat belt, I don't have a small child next to me and if that gas mask falls, I will be making my last appeals to any possible deities and expecting the worst; I also don't need to know about a slide coming out of the door-well in the event of a water landing, because beside that freak landing on the Hudson, most of those things don't go well'. We have great scare-tactic television shows to prove it. So most of the time I just pretend I'm watching but usually zone out or listen for grammatical errors. But Air New Zealand has come up with the right formula—they've made them funny, and they've made them often.
The video on the way home was enjoyable. It had a Middle Earth theme with some quite notable guest stars. The only notable guest star I wasn't sure inspired great confidence was Gollum. He was illustrating the strip lighting to follow in the case of an emergency. It was a little too 'snakes on a plane' for me. I was glad I had elevated legs thanks to the sky couch rather than the thought that Gollum was skulking around under my feet, whispering 'precious'.
But on the way to the States the video featured Betty White and was shot in a Florida-style retirement village. It was hilarious. One man stowed his hand luggage under the seat in front of him on the patio. Betty, he said, this package contains a rare antique. Really, said Betty. Yep, your sense of humour! Boom, boom. The brace position was demonstrated in a golf buggy, and the water landing in the pool. We had two flights and I savoured every minute, each time. If you want people to watch your in-flight videos, then this is the way to guarantee it. I think they even have a version with Bear Grylls. Other airlines, take note!
Polkadots, colour, a pussybow, flowers and tights? Love!
Thank you for joining Wardrobe Wednesday!
I love the outfit you've put together!! Especially that dress. Actually I think that poncho type cape thingy does work really well with your dress.
Ha ha! I need to check online to see if I can see them. They sound hilarious.
Amelia said to vote for you, so I did. (Been ages, I had actually forgotton about the voting buttons at the bottom.
Now I want to fly Air New Zealand, their safety video sounds so funny! WestJet does add some humour to their spiel as well. Loving the photo of you in the breeze.
Great to have found you.
