3Chancel
4External View
Callan Augustinian Friary
The nave is the area in the western part of the main body of the church where the congregation gathered to hear sermons preached and to attend Mass.
A view into the nave of the church, looking east towards the tower, and beyond the choir and its east window. To the left of the picture is single arch, which would have led to the church north transept or chapel, a common structure in late medieval mendicant friary; unfortunately the chapel is all but gone.
A closer look at the west gable of the church, which contains the public entrance into the nave. The pointed doorway has multiple moulded orders. Some very weathered sculpted elements survive on the outer jambs, which have small square bases.
Another look at the west gable of the church. The window above the doorway is a double-light with some simple curvilinear or flowing tracery.
A view into the nave, looking west, where the laity would have stood to attend masses and celebrations, and to hear the friars preach.
A closer look at the much damaged carvings on the outer jambs of the west doorway.
A view of the south elevation of the nave. The gap in the string course, between the two windows, is where the west domestic range once abutted the church.
Towers served as belfries, ringing out the hours of the Divine Offices, which called the religious community to the church. They were generally built over crossing or the intersection of the nave and chancel.
The crossing tower, a structure found in almost all Irish mendicant churches, stands between the nave and the choir. In Callan the tower arches are wider than in most of their mendicant counterparts, although another fifteenth-century example is found in Ennis Franciscan friary. The doorway in the south elevation connected the tower with the cloister, and a spiral stairway directly beside it leads above the tower crossing, which has an additional three storeys above that. Inside the western tower arch (in the forefront of the picture) on either sides are two small grooves, which probably supported a beam where a crucifix called a rood would have hanged, as part of a screen closing off the nave from the choir, the rood screen.
In the north elevation of the tower is an unusual feature, a fireplace. It has been suggested that it was used as means to provide the burning charcoal needed in the use of the thurible during services and celebrations.
This section of the south wall elevation is where the cloister abutted the church. The string course and the row of corbels underneath indicate the extent of the cloister walk, while the doorway would have led the friars from the cloister into the choir via the tower, and vice versa.
Chancel
The chancel is located in the east end of a church and is reserved for the use of the clergy and choir, and is where the altar is located.
A look at the stunning piscina and sedilia in the south wall of the chancel, which have ogee-headed arches decorated with carvings of foliate motifs, probably one of the most elaborate example of sculpted sedilia to survive in a mendicant context.
A view of the east gable of the church. Unfortunately the tracery is almost completely gone, but small sections remaining around the edges of the window suggest it would have been a rather elaborate design, especially for in a mendicant context.
At the east end of the south wall elevation we find the other break in the string course, indicating the place of the east domestic range, as well as the doorway that would have connected the chancel to the first room in the lower floor of the range, likely to have been the sacristy.
A view of the remains of the friary, in the middle of the 'Abbey Meadow', as it is known locally. The cloister and domestic ranges would have extended to the south of the church (to the right of the picture), and this friary precinct was probably comprised of most of this field: at the dissolution of the monasteries the community was found in possession of a number of acres of land around the friary and in the town.
A local tradition tells that the friary bell was hidden at the Dissolution in the King's river, while sacred vessels were buried in the meadow midway between the west gable of the church and the gate leading to lower Bridge Street.
A view of the north elevation of the church, showing the arch that would have opened into a chapel or transept. There, one or several secondary altars were probably supported by the friars' patrons, who would also have paid to be buried there, and for the friars to say masses and prayers for their soul.

Good Samaritan offers support for orphans
by Ndivhuwo Mukwevho
Written by Ndivhuwo Mukwevho
A Vhembe man has identified 50 orphans from villages in that area that he will provide with school uniforms, food, and career guidance.
LIMPOPO – Vulnerable children in Vhembe villages who have lost their parents due to HIV/Aids have no one to support their dreams – which is why Edward Muyanalo has stepped in to offer a helping hand. The 34-year-old Good Samaritan has identified more than 50 children from various villages who have lost their parents and he helps them with school uniforms, food, and career guidance. He also makes sure that those who are on HIV treatment take their medications at all times.
In 2017 Muyanalo realised that most orphaned children in his home village of Muraga, outside Thohoyandou, are trapped in poverty which often leads the boys on the path to jail and sees the girls relying on sexual relationships with older men in exchange for money. "It pains me to see orphans left to fend for themselves with no one prepared to help them and that often means a bleak future for them," said Muyanalo.
He wanted to do something about it so he established Rotakuwa Charity Care. The organisation visits villages within the Vhembe district to identify children who have been neglected. "We work closely with community leaders to identify orphaned children who need help and once we find them we make sure they go to school. They did not choose to be in such situations," he said. Muyanalo believes that if poverty is not eradicated in rural areas the spread of diseases such as HIV will continue.
"I grew up in a rural village where I saw poverty first hand. Imagine going to bed on an empty stomach while also knowing that there might be nothing to eat the following day? We have to stand together and fight against poverty to create a better future for orphans," he said. – Health-e News

We have talked about the mobile-first index briefly in other posts and our A Brighter Web podcast, but this post is dedicated to explaining its importance for your website. If this phrase is new to your ears, we highly encourage you to take the time to verse yourself in this significant Google change, as this is due out in early 2018.
We hope this post will give you a knowledgeable introduction on mobile-first indexing and what you can do to prepare yourself for this change.
Currently, Google indexes websites based on its desktop version, meaning desktop versions are seen as the priority. The mobile-first index is where Google will build its search results and rankings based on a website's mobile version of content. This change also includes results that are shown to desktop users, so even if they're searching for you on a desktop, the results will be delivered based on the website's mobile version.
Unless your website's mobile and desktop versions are entirely different from each other, mobile-first indexing should have no instant effect on its ranking. In fact, Google webmasters Gary Illyes and Paul Haahr have both stated that they want this change to have minimal impact on rankings. Of course, it's too early to tell if this is true, but you shouldn't worry about your current standings right away.
While this change in indexing is focused on mobile websites, Google has said you don't have to worry if you don't have a mobile version of your website (at least not right away). The truth is, Google wants you to have a mobile site, but they will still crawl and index your desktop version, meaning your site will still appear in search engine results pages (SERPs).
To start, make sure your mobile site's content and links are cohesive with your desktop's version. By doing this, Google can adequately consume its content and rank your site exactly like it would for your desktop version.
If your content does not match, Google (and we) recommend your website is mobile responsive. That way the content and user experience are the same on both mobile and desktop versions. While you can utilize other mobile implementations such as 301 redirects, dynamic serving, and separate URLs, mobile responsive web design allows less room for error.
Yes, this is a lot of information to comprehend, but this is something your business cannot afford to put on the back burner. We are now in 2018, which means mobile-first indexing can happen anytime within the next couple of months. Start tailoring your website to meet Google's major change and stay competitive on the web!
If you have any questions about mobile-first indexing, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Кантарджийската къща, позната и като Антон-Кантарджийска къща има същата централна пространствена група, като други такива къщи в Копривщица от времето на разцвета на копривщенската възрожденска архитектура в периода между 1842 – 1870 година. Двете заедно с намиращата се срещуположно къща на Тодор Каблешков доминират архитектурния ансамбъл в района.

Кантарджийската къща има устройство състоящо се от портик, салон на първия етаж, стълба, горен салон и кьошк. Осево-симетричното решение на плана и главната фасада, цялата геометрия на сградата и помещенията са без отклонения от модела на симетричната копривщенска архитектура. Най-важното и значитеклно пространствено явление при къщата е решението за вида и мястото на стълбището между двата етажа. Стълбата е направена в унисон с главната ос на сградата, направена е трираменна, като низходящота рамо е по-широко и заема централно место, а възходящите рамена са две и са по-тесни от него. В това решение има логика която и придава представителност и модерна театралност на подхода към втория етаж.

В първата половина на 20-ти век къщата на Кантарджиеви се използва като лятна колония-летовище на софийското училище "В. Априлов". Това се вижда от една снимка на ученици пред нея от 1934 г. Към снимката има пояснение, че това става по инициатива на местния учител Славчо Кацаров.

Monsignor Carlos Casanueva Opazo
Though Archbishop Crescente Errázuriz wanted to close the University, in 1919 he assigned Father Casanueva as the interim Rector. On February 19, 1920, Father Casanueva was designated permanent Rector.
His aim was to create a university community that was open to the country. In his view, UC was meant to be a professional school to serve as a "beacon of truth", that is, it had the duty to enlighten and direct the thoughts of the people according to the needs of the country.
In 1920, the University grew and its faculties expanded to include Law and Political Science, Civil Engineering and Math, Architecture, Agriculture and Industry. In 1920, the Archbishop allowed women to form part of UC. In 1929, the state recognized the validity of the programs, the titles and the degrees conferred by UC. In 1930, the University was declared Pontifical by Pope Pius XI. Eight years later, the Student Federation (FeUC) was created.
Under the command of Monsignor Carlos Casanueva, the University added the faculties of Technology, Theology, Business and Economic Sciences, Philosophy and Letters, and Medicine, plus the schools of Social Work, Plastic Arts, Nursing and Biological Sciences. During this time the Sports Club and the Clinical Hospital of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile were founded. In 1942, the University's new song was first performed at a historical soccer match in the National Stadium against Universidad de Chile.

Bullies often feel that the other child deserved the bad treatment because of something they had said or done. Occasionally, becoming a bully is because of peer pressure, to 'belong' to a group or go with the flow when it is acceptable behaviour amongst peers. They also tend to pick on the 'weaker' ones and this gives them a sense of power and control.
How can you as a parent deal with bullying? Read on for 8 tips!
You need to make sure that those who interact with your child are good role models too.
2. Be respectful of people and their differences.
If your child hears you comment on someone else's appearance, she will think it is okay to do it. Next time you are tempted to label someone else 'naughty', 'fat' or 'stupid', pause for a moment and imagine what it would be like to have to defend that same behaviour in your child. Imagine sitting across from another parent and having to explain why your child called their child 'fat' or 'stupid'.
3. Share strategies with your child on how to react to bullying.
Discuss non-violent ways of responding to a bully, like walking away and playing with other friends. Remember to also emphasise the importance of talking it out and sharing such instances with you.
4. Encourage your child to stand up for what she believes in.
Encourage freedom of thought and expression at home.
5. Speak to your child's teacher.
You can also speak to the head of the school if required, to understand how to address a situation where a child is bullying yours. It is best not to speak to the parent of the other child directly.
It is best not to speak to the parent of the other child directly.
6. Compliment your child on her positive behaviour.
Build her self-esteem to model good behaviour.
7. Have conversations with your child on a daily basis about what happened in school.
8. Be vigilant and watch out for signs of interpersonal difficulties.
Interpersonal difficulties include loss of friends, poor grades, lack of concentration or interest in activities that were previously popular with your child, reluctance to go to school, or difficult-to-explain injuries.
It is difficult for parents to believe that their child is a bully. However, if this happens, it is important to remember that this behaviour can be unlearned. If your child is overly aggressive, often fights with siblings, is an arrogant winner or sore loser, it may be her way of dealing with anger, frustration or a sense of inadequacy. Talk to your child about these feelings, encourage instances of good behaviour, discuss with your child how such behaviour is not okay and that everyone should be treated with kindness and respect.

Eaton Area Historical Society
A.J. Eaton House Museum
Carriage House Project
EAHS Annual Tour of Homes
Where Did All that Water Come From?
Welcome to Historical Eaton, Colorado, and the Eaton Area Historical Society.
The Eaton Area Historical Society was established in 1991 by the Eaton Pioneers Society. It has as it's mission the preservation and sharing of the history of the region and it's pioneers, and to provide a secure locale that contains historically accurate items, which are preserved for the future. (Read Tommie Steele's first-hand account here).
The Eaton Area Historical Society was able to acquire local historical landmark the A.J. Eaton House and opened it as the local museum in 2004. A unique arrangement with the City of Eaton, the Steve and Pat Simonds family, and the Shelton Fund has allowed the Historical Society volunteers, along with generous donations of memorabilia, pictures, artifacts, records, scrap-books, household pieces, and much more, to preserve the history and life of the early Eaton, Colorado pioneers. Historic designation for the house with the National Register of Historic Places was applied for in January, 2006 and granted in April, 2006. The gate that greets visitors at the driveway to the museum was the original gate at the Eaton Cemetery, modified for its current location.
A.J. Eaton House Museum is located at 207 Elm Ave, Eaton, Co 80615 The Museum is open Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday from 2-4pm There is no admission fee (but donations are always welcome).
Among our many other activities, the EAHS commissioned the statue of Benjamin Harrison Eaton in Eaton Commons park, which was dedicated in 2002. Follow this link to read the story of Benjamin Eaton and statue artist Maxine White Swartz

Hi Historical Eaton
artmeyer
It's coming along
We had a successful Eaton Cemetery Tour
Alan Steele
Hello. Who is the current president of EHS?
Thanks, Alan Steele
Art Meyer is EAHS president
Are you going to conduct another tour of the Eaton cemetery sometime?
Next Eaton Cemetery tour will be mid-June 2018. Dates not set yet.
Thanks for the prompt reply. Could you place me on the list of people to participate in the mid-June 2018 cemetery tour? Or could you notify me when and where I can do so? Thanks again, Alan Steele
Dates will be announced on this website in the News & Events tab, as well as on our Facebook page and in the Eaton paper. Mark your calendar for mid-June and if you don't see the date announcement, comment here. Thanks for your interest Alan!
OK. Will keep tabs online as to what's going on and when the cemetery tour will take place. Thank you. Alan
Sandy Walton
Hello EAHS! I am writing to you about Eaton's Town Park. I would love to know the history of the park. It is slated to be razed in March of 2018 to become an extension of the High School and a parking lot. I feel that this will be such a scar in the middle of our town. What a shame to see all these old trees cut down and to see such a well used and adored shady oasis in the middle of historical Eaton destroyed!
Sandy – we'll see what our researchers can find about the park and get back to you
In answer to your question about the Eaton Town Park: Information on page 158 of the little blue History of Eaton book has a paragraph about a park which states the Eaton town board of 1909 purchased ground for a public park one block north of the new high school site. As of April,1909, the land was purchased, 150 trees ordered, and a general plan was mapped. The B. H. Eaton High School opened in September, 1909.
Hello, I just tried to come today at 230 and no one was there 😔 Was wondering when I could come by
So sorry Ashley! Just looked at the volunteer schedule and it looks like no one was available to work at the Museum on Saturday. There are volunteers signed up for Tuesday 12/18 for 2-4pm and for Thursday 12/20 for 2-4pm . There is also someone signed up fo Saturday 12/22, Thursday 12/27 and Saturday 12/29 -all dates for 2-4pm. We appreciate your interest!
Thank you, we will be there tomorow at 3

Q: How to add custom tab on home page to track order? I need to add 'track your order' tab in home page that will be visible to all but only logged in customer can use to track orders?

A: By default in Magento transnational notifications can be sent to the customer by selecting an option while performing actions on the order.
For Example :
Step 1: Your receive Order
The default status will be in pending
Step 2: When you Generate invoice or Shipment you have an option to notify customer if you select that option.

Britons in aid convoy kidnapped and sexually assaulted in Libya
Three women taking part in aid convoy to Gaza are attacked in Benghazi

Three women who were part of an aid convoy passing through Libya on the way to Gaza have been sexually assaulted in Benghazi, after a group of five British nationals were briefly kidnapped.
The three women, two of whom are sisters, were part of a large aid convoy travelling to the Gaza Strip. It is thought that they were part of a group of five people who were briefly kidnapped near Benghazi in the early hours of Tuesday and they were released some hours later. The group is currently safe in the Turkish consul in Benghazi and is expected to return to the UK.
Libyan security officials said the attacks happened in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Abdul Barghathi, commander of preventative security in the Libyan defence ministry, said the women had been sexually assaulted, but not raped. "There was no rape, just touching (sexual assault)," he said. "Because there is no British consulate here they were handed to the Turkish consulate." The three women are not badly wounded and are being attended to by consular staff from the UK, he added.
The women were part of a large convoy taking vehicles and aid to the Gaza Strip on a journey that had taken them through France, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and then Libya. It had intended to cross the border with Egypt but was prevented from doing so by Egyptian authorities. The 10-vehicle convoy is still stuck at the border but the five British nationals returned to Benghazi in eastern Libya late on Monday night in order to return home.
The most recent post on the convoy's Facebook page, written on Saturday, detailed the convoy's frustration at being held at the Egyptian border.
It read: "We have been here for five days now. Despite harassment & abuse from the Egyptian authorities here, we're determined more than ever, to persevere in our aim to deliver this aid to Gaza. Well-wishes, prayers & support are appreciated & welcome."
Turkish authorities in London said two sisters and their father, plus another woman and man, were taken near Benghazi on Tuesday and released. "They are at the Turkish consul and they are safe," said a spokesman.
The Foreign Office confirmed that an incident in the city had occurred, but gave no further details. "We are aware of an incident in Libya involving a number of British nationals who were part of an aid convoy and we are providing consular assistance," said a spokesman.
A supporter of the convoy, writing on the All United for Free Palestine page, said five people had been kidnapped, but said that reports in foreign media that two females had been raped were inaccurate. The writer, who did not immediately respond to requests for information, wrote: "If anyone has read or heard a report from Al Watan voice newspaper about the kidnapping in Benghazi of 5 convoy members, the report is partially true in so much as they were taken, however I stress that the report of the two females being raped is not true. All are now safe and being looked after Alhamdulilah."
Benghazi has seen frequent bouts of militia violence in recent months, including the attack by a jihadist militia that killed the US ambassador Chris Stevens at the American consulate in the city, and 18 prominent or retired officials, including the city's police chief, have been murdered in the past 12 months.
Attacks on the British and Tunisian consulates and the attempted murder of the Italian consul in previous months have made the city a no-go zone for most foreigners, with Egyptians on edge after the burning of the city's Coptic church on 4 March.
Benghazi is immune to central government control, its streets controlled by a galaxy of militias, army and police units. Ansar al-Sharia, the Islamic unit blamed for the killing of Stevens in September, is back in its city centre headquarters and defying government demands that it disband.
The burning of the church and arrests of more than 50 foreigners for evangelism have raised tension.

Haas F1 Team Profile
Formula 1 has had a heightened presence in America in recent seasons thanks to the revival of the U.S. Grand Prix and the emergence of new American team Haas. The team enjoyed their best season yet with fifth in the Constructors' Championship in 2018, and will be hoping to build on that success in 2019.
Drivers' Championships 0
Constructors' Championships 0
First F1 Appearance 2016 Australian Grand Prix
Wins 0
Poles 0
Team Principal Guenther Steiner
Established in April 2014, by NASCAR team co-owner Gene Haas, the team was originally planning to make its début in the 2015 season, but later deferred their entry until the next season. Following the collapse of the Marussia team, Haas purchased the team's base in Banbury, to compliment their American base in Kannapolis, North Carolina. The team benefits from a close working relationship with Ferrari, who supply them with engines and additional support.
Haas announced Romain Grosjean as their lead driver in September 2015, before announcing at the 2015 Mexican Grand Prix that Esteban Gutierrez would join him. Their first race – the 2016 Australian Grand Prix – was quite extraordinary. While Esteban Gutierrez was involved in a large accident with Fernando Alonso, Romain Grosjean finished a fantastic sixth – thus making Haas the first team to score points on début since Toyota in 2002. At the next round, Grosjean bettered that and scored a fifth place finish. Haas have never finished as high as that again, and suffered a number of technical niggles throughout 2016. Though Grosjean did continue to score points throughout their maiden season, Gutierrez struggled on his way to five frustrating 11th place finishes before being dropped by the team at the end of 2016. They finished a respectable eighth in the standings in their first year in the sport.
Kevin Magnussen joined the team for 2017, and his points perhaps masked the team's slip in performance. Magnussen scored nineteen points over 2017, compared to Guiterrez's zero in 2016. Overall, the team scored eighteen more points than in 2016, so it's questionable whether those extra points were down to a better car or a better driver line-up. It was, at times, a difficult sophomore season, but the team seemed to be more at grasp with their car. The opening round of the season was one of the highlights, as Grosjean scored the team's best ever qualifying result with sixth place, while Brazil was a low point, with both drivers crashing through their own errors on the first lap.
Retaining the same driver line-up, Haas had an encouraging start to their 2018 season, running fourth and fifth in the Australian Grand Prix. However, issues at the pit-stops saw both cars stop on the circuit, costing the team 22 points. Those 22 points could have been very valuable indeed for Haas in their tight battle for fourth in the Constructors' Championship with Renault. Nevertheless, fifth overall showed F1's newest team's steady progress. Despite his early season struggles, Romain Grosjean recorded the team's best result of the year, and their best so far in the sport, with fourth place in the Austrian Grand Prix.
Haas have a new look livery in 2019, thanks to their new title sponsor Rich Energy. Though they have a new look, the American outfit will want to carry on in the same upward trajectory of last season. Will Grosjean and Magnussen be able to deliver in their third year as team-mates?
HAAS' RECENT F1 HISTORY

2016 8th (29 points) 0 0 Romain Grosjean, Esteban Gutierrez
2017 8th (47 points) 0 0 Romain Grosjean, Kevin Magnussen

For Al Gini, Africa is more than just an exotic destination.
The first time I went to Africa, I didn't want to go because I had watched too many Tarzan of the Apes episodes, or because I had read too much Hemingway — although I had. I didn't want to go hunt or even to photograph the wildlife with a zoom-lens 35-mm camera. Nor did I want to go in order to sit around a camp fire at night in my special-order safari jacket from Abercrombie and Fitch. I wanted to go because I was afraid I would miss seeing it before it turned into a petting zoo. Or, worse yet, before there was nothing left to see. I wanted to go because I wanted to see the place, breathe and smell the air where our earliest ancestors stood up, looked around and began to become human. I wanted to go because I wanted to experience the place that was the cradle of human life and existence.
Africa may not be the seat of all of western civilization, but it is the site of the birth of human kind and it is the repository of the fossil remains of our earliest ancestors. The African continent is now generally recognized as the main birthplace of the human group. Life did develop elsewhere, but Africa is where the spark was ignited and the flame persisted and spread.
This year my wife and I spent 20 days in the bush. Each day was very much like the other, but no two days were completely alike. It was never boring, always beautiful and, sometimes, overwhelming in its sights and sounds. Each day was a gift. The bush is alive around the clock. During the day the wildebeests honk their presence to one and all. Zebras snort and stomp to make themselves heard. Elephants trumpet to each other constantly. But it is at night that the real symphony begins. Between the cicadas' piercing shrill, the throaty growl of the cheetahs, the snarling semi-laughter of the hyenas and the roar of the lions, the night is a cacophony of sounds and rhythms that fascinates me.
On any given day as we drove through the bush in our Land Cruisers we saw: herds of cape buffaloes; a journey of giraffes; thousands of wildebeest; a dazzle of zebras; gazelle and antelope of every size, shape and color; large families of elephants; a crash of rhinos; a raft of hippopotami; large congresses of baboons; an occasional leap of leopards; and 20-foot long crocodiles that seem to be part of our prehistoric past. It never seemed to stop. It never ceased to amaze me!
Sometimes, it's hard to see the face of God in our fellow humans. But stare an elephant in the eye, or a plump hippo, or a graceful impala, or a clumsy but cute flamingo, and I, for one, saw — if not God's face — at least her signature in her handiwork.
I awoke on our last morning in the bush — out of sorts, ill-at-ease, angry and melancholic. I was missing Africa already. Africa, for me, is more than an exotic, unusual destination. It is more than a vacation, or just something different to do. Africa is a gift! It is a dream. An experience I will never take for granted.
The very first line of Isak Dinesen's memoir Out of Africa reads: "I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngon Hills." If I were writing my memoirs now, perhaps my opening line would be: "I once had a safari in Africa, and nothing since has ever been the same!" Happily, since that first safari, my wife and I have been able to go back 10 more times. And each time we go back the magic is there again, just like the first time.

На зимних Олимпийских играх 1976 года в Инсбруке в лыжных гонках было разыграно 7 комплектов наград — 4 среди мужчин (15 км, 30 км, 50 км и эстафета 4×10 км) и 3 среди женщин (5 км, 10 км и эстафета 4×5 км). Программа соревнований по сравнению с Олимпийскими играми 1972 года в Саппоро изменений не претерпела, лишь изменилась формула женской эстафеты, она впервые в истории Олимпийских игр прошла по формуле 4*5 км (а не 3*5 км, как было ранее), в данном формате женская эстафета проводилась на всех последующих Олимпиадах. Все гонки, кроме эстафет, проходили с раздельным стартом участников.

Соревнования прошли с 5 по 14 февраля в 17-ти километрах от Инсбрука в местечке Зефельд. Старт и финиш гонок происходил на стадионе «Ланлауфцентрум», который был построен к зимним Олимпийским играм 1964 года. В соревнованиях принял участие 165 спортсменов (114 мужчин и 51 женщина) из 24 стран.

В общем медальном зачёте в лыжных гонках лучшими стали советские лыжники, выигравшие 4 золота, 2 серебра и 4 бронзы.

Малоизвестный представитель США Билл Кох, завоевав серебро в гонке на 30 км, стал первым в истории североамериканцем, завоевавшим олимпийскую медаль в лыжных гонках. И по сей день он остаётся единственным единственным мужчиной-североамериканцем, который имеет олимпийскую медаль в лыжных гонках.

Женская гонка на 5 км вошла в историю тем, что занявшая в ней 3-е место советская лыжница Галина Кулакова, была дисквалифицирована из-за обнаружения в её организме запрещённого препарата «эфедрин», эта дисквалификация стала первой в истории дисквалификацией за применение запрещённых препаратов в соревнованиях лыжников на Олимпиадах. Было установлено, что эфедрин попал в организм Кулаковой из-за применения ею назального спрея от простуды, и дисквалификация была распространена лишь на одну гонку, уже в следующей гонке на 10 км Кулакова вышла на старт и завоевала в ней бронзовую медаль.

Korea: A Walk Through the Land of Miracles (Paperback)
By Simon Winchester
In the late 1980s, New York Times bestselling author Simon Winchester set out on foot to discover the Republic of Korea - from its southern tip to the North Korean border - in order to set the record straight about this enigmatic and elusive land.
Fascinating for its vivid presentation of historical and geographic detail, Korea is that rare book that actually defines a nation and its people. Winchester's gift for capturing engaging characters in true, compelling stories provides us with a treasury of enchanting and informed insight on the culture, language, history, and politics of this little-known corner of Asia.
With a new introduction by the author, Korea is a beautiful journey through a mysterious country and a memorable addition to the many adventures of Simon Winchester.
Simon Winchester is the acclaimed author of many books, including The Professor and the Madman, The Men Who United the States, The Map That Changed the World, The Man Who Loved China, A Crack in the Edge of the World, and Krakatoa, all of which were New York Times bestsellers and appeared on numerous best and notable lists. In 2006, Winchester was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty the Queen. He resides in western Massachusetts.

Matthew 21:15-17 – those yelling Hosanna to the Son of David!
"15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they became indignant, 16 and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus *said to them, "Yes; have you never read, 'OUT OF THE MOUTH OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABES THOU HAST PREPARED PRAISE FOR THYSELF'?" 17 And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there." (Mt 21:15-17 NAS)
Earlier when Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem people had welcomed Jesus as the "son of David" and praised him as a king entering the city on a donkey. No word of Jesus were then written down by the gospel writers. But when Jesus had thrown-out the moneymakers from the temple, he acknowledged the children's praise and said to the leaders of the temple that it was out of the mouth of babes and sucklings that some ordained strength because of their enemies, so that those enemies and the avengers could be stilled.
"From the mouth of infants and nursing babes Thou hast established strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease." (Ps 8:2 NAS)
The religious leaders should have known the Psalm with those words.
These spiritual leaders were apparently a deputation from the Sanhedrin, the High Council. They were very indignant at what had happened here. First the presence of the lame and the blind in the Temple was not permitted and secondly Jesus healing them there in the House of God seemed not appropriate. As appears from the crying out and the Greek word used (pais = lad, youth), the singing of 'Hosanna' was not unknown to the children. The words used in the Greek manuscript are masculine, meaning boys or lads as in Matthew 2:16, and not the general term children as in Matthew 11:16. It would naturally be boys rather than girls, for comparatively few even of grown women went to the temple amid the crowds. Those youngsters were taught the Hosanna song as early as possible during the Feast of Tabernacles, to wave their palm branches whenever they heard the word 'hosanna'. (SB, I, 853). They repeated the jubilant call the people had used on the previous day (v. 9).
Those kids and the disciples readily understood it to mean the Messiah; now observing the authority with which he cleansed the temple and healed the blind and the lame, they recalled that cry and were loudly repeating it, even in the temple.
The older people who had said the same on the Mount of Olives and in the streets of the city might have shrunk from making the bold proclamation in this most public place and in the very face of their religious rulers. Children are in such a case more ardent and more fearless.
They leaders of the temple were sore displeased, or, moved with indignation, (same word as in Mt 20:24). They ought to have been led to earnest inquiry whether he who thus asserted authority and wrought miracles and allowed himself to be hailed as the Son of David was indeed the Messiah. They were very well aware of the ancient scrolls telling about a messenger who would come and who would prepare the way before Jehovah of hosts. That sent one from God being like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap, a purifier of silver, who would purify the sons of Levi, and the one refining them as gold and silver.
"1 "Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts. 2 "But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. 3 "And He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness. 4 "Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD, as in the days of old and as in former years." (Mal 3:1-4 NAS)
They could see that Jesus had made a purification of the temple, though they did not want to know that Jesus would be a sent one from God, a prophet, and were indignant at the apparent claim. He was altogether different from their notion of the Messiah. The man of flesh and blood they saw was a worker son who came from an obscure village in distant Galilee (John 7:41 f., 52), who had not asked the recognition of the Sanhedrin, but seemed to be relying on mere popular recognition, and for them that crowd or mob knew nothing of the Torah (or Scriptures) {John 7:49 }.
Most people, even the disciples of Jesus at that time, expected the Messiah to be a revolutionist and civil ruler, taking care that the People of Israel would not be any more under Roman rules. Therefore the claim Jesus to be the Messiah and its popular support might was considered a dangerous thing. It would provoke the Romans to crush out the "nation," and deprive these Jewish officials of their "place," as some of them had intimated not long before. {John 11:47 f. } It was for that reason also that Jesus no longer had moved about publicly among the people of Judea, because he was aware of the counsel to put him to death. He had withdrawn to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples, but now he knew that the time had come and that he was to go for the Passover to Jerusalem.
It disturbed the leaders that Jesus did not do anything to "stop a thing so improper as to call him Son of David". So during the triumphal procession, {Luke 19:39 } "some of the Pharisees from the multitude" openly called on him to rebuke his disciples for language implying that he was the Messiah, but he refused. (Comp. our previous writing on Matthew 21:9)
It is idle for critics to suppose this a mere inaccurate report of that former case, for the place is different, the persons making the outcry are here children, and the Saviour's reply is also entirely different, and adapted to the testimony of children. The Scribes complaining may have been different, or may have included some 'of the same persons, now still further outraged by the renewed hosannas.
The one who spoke about the Son of man being "Lord or Master of the sabbath", now did not mind being called "son of David". He had made hammock in the temple and previously also had said that they could see something greater than the temple being there. {Matthew 12:6-8}
For "out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast established strength.' the Septuagint has 'thou hast prepared praise'; in several other passages (Toy) it has rendered the word for 'strength' by 'praise.' Matthew follows the Septuagint, as he so often does where it expresses the Heb. sufficiently for his purpose. (Comp. on #Mt 3:3 12:14) The Greek word means 'prepared' or 'completely prepared,' and so may be rendered 'perfected.'
Suckling was sometimes continued among the Jews till the child was three years' old (#/APC 2Macc 7:27), and such a custom is still reported by some travellers in the East. What the Psalmist declared true of sucking babes was also and still more true of these boys crying hosanna. Toy says that the meaning in which the words are here used is
"substantially the same as that of the Psalmist — God had shown these children a truth that the learned men did not see, and had thereby made them instruments of praise and strength."
We should remember that it is God Who calls people and Who gives insight of His Works.
Jesus his wise answer, while not provoking, yet failed to restrain, the purpose excited by the triumphal entry and his cleansing the temple, viz., to destroy him if possible; the popular recognition and enthusiasm made them fear him all the more, for they accounted him a dangerous rival to their own position as religious instructors and rulers. {Mr 11:18 Lu 19:47 f }
The youngsters used a word of joyful acclamation in Hebrew, (ωσαννα; Heb. נא הושׁע, "Save, we pray;" σωσον δη, as Theophylact correctly interprets it), signifying "save now" also used as "welcome". The Psalm from which it was taken, the 118th, was one with which they were familiar from being accustomed to recite the 25th and 26th verses at the Feast of Tabernacles. On that occasion the Great Hallelu, consisting of (Ps 118 Ps 119), was chanted by one of the priests, and at certain intervals the multitudes joined in the responses, waving their branches of willow and palm, and shouting as they waved them, Hallelujah, or Hosanna, or "O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity." {Ps 118:25 } This was done at the recitation of the first and last verses of; {Ps 118 } but according to the school of Hillel, at the words "Save now, we beseech thee" (vera. 25). The school of Shammai, on the contrary, say it was at the words "Send now prosperity" of the same verse.
Rabboni Gamaliel and R. Joshua were observed by R. Akkub to wave their branches only at the words
"Save now, we beseech thee" (Mishna, Succi, iii. 9).
On each of the seven days during which the feast lasted the people thronged in the court of the Temple, and went in procession about the altar, setting their boughs bending towards it; the trumpets sounding as they shouted Hosanna. But on the seventh day they marched seven times round the altar, shouting meanwhile the great Hosanna to the sound of the trumpets of the Levites (Lightfoot, Temple Service, xvi. 2).
The very children who could wave the palm branches were expected to take part in the solemnity Mishna, Succi, iii. 15; {#Mt 21:15 } From the custom of waving the boughs of myrtle and willow during the service the name Hosanna was ultimately transferred to the boughs themselves, so that according to Elias Levita (Tishbe, s. v.),
"the bundlers of the willows of the brook which they carry at the Feast of Tabernacles are called Hosannas."
The term is frequently applied by Jewish writers to denote the Feast of Tabernacles, the seventh day of the feast being distinguished as the great Hosanna (Buxtorf, Lex. Talmai. s. v. ישׂע). It was not uncommon for the Jews in later times to employ the observances of this feast, which was preeminently a feast of gladness, to express their feelings on other occasions of rejoicing, {#/RAPC 1Ma 13:51 2Ma 10:6,7 } and it is not, therefore, matter of surprise that they should have done so under the circumstances recorded in the Gospels.
In the N.T. the sense Hosanna appears to be 'bestow blessing.'
"Bestow blessing on the Son of David: bestow blessing [O thou who art] in the highest." (Mt 21:9 Mr 11:9,10 Joh 12:13)
Concerning Jesus to be called the "son of David" we can find this in
Mt 1:1 {1 } The book of the {2 } generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. {1) Or The genealogy of Jesus Christ 2) Or birth; as in verse 18 }
Mt 12:23 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David?
Mt 15:22 And behold, a Canaanitish woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon.
Mt 21:9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Mr 10:48 And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Mr 12:35 And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?
Joh 7:42 {1 } Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? {1) 2 Sa 7:12 ff; Mic 5:2 }
Also the scholar Saul (apostle Paul) in later years reminds the members of the group The Way
"concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh," (Ro 1:3 NAS)
"Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel," (2Ti 2:8 NAS)
Also the youngest disciple recognised his master teacher as the Kristos or Christ and as the son of David.
"and one of the elders *said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."" (Re 5:5 NAS)
The people cried Hosanna as Jesus entered in triumph into Jerusalem and now again in the temple; that is, they thus invoked once more the blessings of heaven on him as the Messiah, (This was also a customary acclamation at the joyful feast of tabernacles, in which the Jews repeated # Ps 118:25,26.)
Having brought praise to God and having Jesus being honoured as the son of David, confirming him to be that promised Messiah, Jesus went back to Bethany (Matthew 21:17), a village about 2 miles (3.2 km) from Jerusalem on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. Perhaps Jesus lodged at the home of Lazarus and his sisters Mary and Martha, with whom he had close association (Luke 10:38–42; John 11:1–44; 12:1–3).

12th Amendment, Electoral College, Founders, The Constitution
The Electoral College Is Still Right For America (Even If It Isn't Perfect)
Ed. Hat Tip: Lock Piatt
from the Daily Caller of January 21st
by Robert Natelson
Criticisms of the Electoral College are regularly repeated in Democratic-controlled state legislatures. Those criticisms derive largely from ignorance as to why the Founders adopted the system they did.
For example, it is not true, as some claim, that the Founders acted only out of distrust of democracy. Rather, the system was a brilliant response to a complicated set of issues — issues remaining with us today.
The Constitution of the United States; featuring the 3 most important words, written larger than the rest
When the framers wrote the presidency into the Constitution, they created an office unlike any created before. The president was to be a single republican chief executive, exercising real power, and doing so within a true federal system with strong states.
Indeed, even today the office remains almost unique: Many Western style governments are parliamentary rather than presidential. Most of the presidential governments are unitary, or nearly unitary, rather than federal.
Having created a unique office, the Founders needed an adequate process for choosing its occupant. They set forth several criteria:
The electoral process had to produce presidents competent to discharge their extensive responsibilities. Not only must the president be qualified for the job, but he must be able to exercise judgment independent of Congress and of the states. Thus, those directly choosing among the candidates should either know them personally or have reliable knowledge of their character and qualifications.
The process should give great weight to popular preferences, while minimizing dangers of "stampeding" and other mob-like behavior.
It should reduce the risks of foreign and other secret influence.
It should balance state and national interests.
It should produce presidents of national stature. A purely regional executive could tear the country apart, either by his election or by policies favoring some parts of the country at the expense of others.
The process should discourage states from trying to increase their influence by artificially inflating their vote levels.
Some of these criteria contended against each other. For example, the new electoral system had to accommodate state interests, but the accommodation should not go so far as to allow the states to dictate the winner.
The final result was the product of weeks of convention debate, further discussion in an extraordinarily talented convention committee, and subsequent modification by the convention at large and by the 12th Amendment.
Here's how the system addresses the criteria listed above.
To assure the president is a person of national standing, each elector votes for two candidates, at least one of whom is not from the elector's home state. The winning candidate must garner a majority — not merely a plurality — of electors.
If no candidate wins a majority, there is a run-off election in the House of Representatives. The vote in the House is by state delegation. Two thirds of all Representatives must be present, and the affirmative vote of a majority of all states is necessary for election.
Thus, even if the winner is not the most popular person in the country, at least he enjoys wide national support. Candidates with merely regional support almost never win.
Electors are temporary officers. The president does not owe his job to Congress or to any collection of standing officers or states. This ensures the president's independence.
Each state's electors convene in their own state capitals rather than in a central location. This reduces risks of mob-like behavior, foreign influence, improper lobbying, and corruption.
State-by-state voting ensures that cases of voter fraud are contained within state boundaries. State-by-state voting also reduces incentives for inflating state popular vote totals.
Electoral votes are distributed among states mostly by population, but each has at least three votes. The balance between state and national interests also is evident in the rules for the House run-off.
State governments decide how electors are chosen, but — under a proper reading of the Constitution — cannot dictate their decisions. Electors may campaign as favoring certain candidates, parties, or views. But like other officials they are supposed to remain free to change their minds.
The electors' independent discretion would, if still honored, encourage those selecting them (today in all states, the people) to choose citizens able to make informed decisions.
Did the Electoral College worked as intended in 2016? Yes and no.
It worked insofar as it denied election to Hillary Clinton, who, although the popular vote choice, was largely a regional candidate. But it failed to work insofar as state statutes prevented electors from voting for any candidates other than two widely seen as unacceptable. Those statutes also discouraged qualified people from seeking the office of presidential elector.

Your New Hit Product Might Be Underpriced
Madhavan Ramanujam
Georg Tacke
The odds are stacked against new products or services. Between 65% and 75% miss their revenue or profit goals, depending on whose research you look at. We have diagnosed thousands of product failures over the last 30 years, and have found recurring patterns. Often new products are over-engineered with too many features, usually at too high a price. Some products are truly innovative but stay walled up too long in R&D and then are released to market when they are no longer unique. Other failed products either answer a question no one cares about or are the wrong answer to the right question – Google Glass or the Segway personal transporter, for example.
But one innovation pitfall is particularly insidious because it doesn't involve an outright failure; in fact, these product launches actually do well in the marketplace. But they don't do nearly as well as they could, leaving big revenue and profit on the table.
We term these product launches "minivations" and they are the result of product developers who don't realize just how much value their offerings would provide to customers. They then grossly underestimate how much customers would be willing to pay for them and charge prices far below what they could have charged.
The problem with wildly successful products
Four examples in very different industries help illustrate the pitfalls of minivations. They also show how determining customers' willingness-to-pay before setting a new product price can help companies ensure they capture the full value of their new offering.
The toy set that sold out in no time. Most parents have heard of Playmobil. How could they not have? Nearly 3 billion of its colorful plastic toy people and animals have populated children's playrooms and toy chests since 1974. The product, owned by Germany's Brandstatter Group, generated 90% of the firm's $696 million in sales last year. Playmobil toys have become a staple for young children.
But in 2003, the company didn't realize the mega hit it was about to have with the Noah's Ark play set. Playmobil launched the plastic boat and colorful animals in September of that year, and the play set sold out in two months. After that, you could buy them on eBay – but for 33% more than the original price tag. Playmobil priced its play set far too low, which allowed customers to make money from it in the resale market.
The luxury SUV that set a record for pre-sales. Another noteworthy minivation was Audi's Q7 luxury SUV, launched in 2006 for €55,000. At the time, gasoline prices were soaring and sales of large SUVs had declined. That likely made Audi a little too conservative. Audi predicted selling 70,000 units.
However, global first-year demand turned out to be 14% above projections; the demand for Audi turned out to be 80,000 Q7's. A supply-demand curve and price elasticity analysis suggests that given Audi had fixed production at 70,000 units, it could have priced the SUV at €58,000, which would have yielded an additional €210 million. At the time, the company said the Q7 had the highest pre-sales of any Audi vehicle. Could Audi have captured a portion of the €210 million? Most definitely.
The electronics firm that grossly underpriced a new component. A few years ago, a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of electronics components developed a product that would become a breakthrough in its category. One of the firm's key customers, a big maker of consumer electronics, said it would use the component in an upcoming premium product line. The sales group at the components firm was thrilled, given that the company was pricing the product about 40% more than the previous component (85 cents vs. 60 cents). The components company came up with its 85 cents price using its traditional pricing method, one of calculating its cost and tacking a margin on top of it.
But the component maker failed to ask the tell-tale question that all firms must ask when they develop new products: What value does this bring to our customer (and our customer's customers), and what portion of that value can we take for ourselves? After bringing its new product to market, the component maker commissioned an assessment of its product development process. It was shocked by the findings: The new component enabled its big consumer electronics manufacturing customer to charge a $50 premium for the device – a premium largely due to the functionality of the breakthrough component.
In fact, the analysis also found that the component firm could have charged $5 per unit for its component – nearly six times what it actually charged.
The notebook computer that flew off the shelves. Founded in 1998, Taiwanese computer maker Asus has grown into a $12 billion company and the fourth largest PC maker in the world. In 2008, the company came to market with a computer, the Eee PC, that was priced even lower than its traditionally low-priced offerings. The mini-notebook device carried a price tag of €299.
Consumers flocked to it; the product was nearly sold out within days in countries like Germany and France. Retailers said demand outstripped supply by 900%. Asus couldn't build them fast enough.
The company could have priced its Eee PC much higher and served a market that was willing to pay more than €299, and then dropped the price to go after the mass market, after ramping up manufacturing (something we refer to as a classic skimming strategy). Instead, Asus priced low to rapidly gain market share, but it didn't have the supply when demand far exceeded its projections.
That's a recipe for missing out on an innovation with huge profit potential.
Are you charging enough?
There are several signs that can tell firms they're not pricing a new product aggressively enough. One is a sales force that is easily meeting its targets with the product. Another is watching channel partners reap big margins from selling your product. A third (especially in B2B circles) is having too few customers asking salespeople to escalate discussions about their purchase to higher levels in your company because they are dissatisfied with your price.
But, of course, you want to avoid such minivations in the first place. How do you so? The most important step is having in-depth willingness-to-pay discussions with target customers long before the product development team begins to draw up the engineering plans. These talks must take place well before your company commits any production resources to building a new offering. In your conversations with customers, you determine exactly which features excite them, whether they're willing to pay for them, and how much.
You'd be surprised how rare such discussions with target customers are in most companies. A survey we conducted in 2014 found 80% of 1,600 companies in more than 40 countries didn't have such discussions with customers before bringing a new product to market. Essentially, these firms just develop a product, prepare it to go to market, and slap a price on it at the end of the process – without understanding whether customers value and are willing to pay for the product. These companies hope to monetize their innovations before they take them to market, but they have no real evidence that they will.
That is a recipe for failure. Asking customers early in the product development about how willing they are to pay for your invention will go a long way to avoiding minivations – and reducing your new-product failure rate across the board.

Max Carey
Teams: Pittsburgh Pirates, 1910-1926; Brooklyn Dodgers, 1926-1929
Manager: Brooklyn Dodgers, 1932-1933
Managerial Record: 146-161
Even though he began his professional
career as a shortstop, Max Carey
never played a single inning in the majors
anywhere but in the outfield.
Max Carey was born Maximillian Carnarius (1890-1976) in Terre Haute, Indiana, to deeply religious German parents. He entered Concordia College in Fort Wayne, intending to become a Lutheran minister.
Before his senior year, though, his career plans changed after he saw a minor-league game and felt he could do better than most of the players in it. Signed after a tryout, he changed his name to Max Carey to protect his college eligibility.
A weak-hitting shortstop in his first season, Carey was converted to the outfield in 1910. When his hitting improved and his extraordinary speed on the bases became apparent, he was purchased by the Pirates.
Almost from the day Carey arrived in Pittsburgh, Pirates star Honus Wagner took him under his wing. Wagner counseled Carey to take extra care to keep his legs in shape, believing that speed was the tool with which Carey would make his mark. A right-handed hitter like Wagner, but without Wagner's power or ability to handle breaking balls, Carey also saw the wisdom of learning to switch-hit.
Beginning in 1911, Max became a fixture in the Pittsburgh outfield for 16 years. A left field fill-in at first for injured player-manager Fred Clarke, Max was switched to center when Clarke returned to the lineup and given the assignment of batting leadoff.
Carey swiftly showed that his skills were tailor-made for the job. He twice topped the National League in walks, regularly led the Pirates in runs, and 10 times copped the senior loop stolen base crown. In the process, he swiped 738 cushions, a modern National League record that lasted until Lou Brock broke it in 1974.
During the late 1910s, with Clarke gone and Wagner on the wane, the Pirates were a lackluster team, but Carey gave Pittsburgh fans hope of better days to come and daily excitement in the meantime.
A scientific basestealer who mastered his craft by diligently studying pitchers and learning their pickoff moves, Carey was the rare thief who grew better as he grew older. In 1921, with basestealing nearly a forgotten part of the game, Pirates fans were treated to the sight of Carey pilfering 51 sacks in 53 attempts, a record for proficiency that has never been surpassed.
Waived to Brooklyn in 1926, Max managed that team for two seasons. Carey was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1961.
Here are Max Carey's major league totals:
BA G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB
.285 2,476 9,363 1,545 2,665 419 159 69 800 738

East Sussex youngsters are playing a vital role in the creation of a public artwork at The Mill, a new housing development of 260 homes at Shepham Lane in Polegate, which Taylor Wimpey is delivering in partnership with Raglan Housing and Wealden District Council.
1st Polegate Cubs and members of Polegate Youth Club worked with artist and public art consultant Kevin Wilson, from ArtPoint Trust, to create striking designs for the development's showpiece work at a hands-on art session held at Polegate Community Centre.
Using air-dried clay, painting and drawing, the youngsters came up with lots of ideas, inspired by the natural environment in the local area and the architecture of the new homes at the development.
Kevin will now use the children's best ideas to create three potential design options for public art at The Mill. The art will be jointly commissioned by Taylor Wimpey South East and Raglan Housing which is delivering a mix of 78 affordable homes for rent and shared ownership within the development.
Kevin says: "It's always very rewarding to work with children on art projects, and it's great to involve the local community in the creation of works which are intended to be appreciated by the public.
"The young people who took part in the workshop came up with some fantastic ideas which will now be incorporated into the design options for the public artwork to be located between the two apartment blocks at The Mill. I hope local people will appreciate their ideas as much as the children enjoyed creating them!"
Jason Stokes, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: "Public art is a fantastic way to bring a local community together and this exciting project is really going to provide a wonderful finishing touch to our development at The Mill.
"I'd like to thank all the young people involved for their hard work on this project and we're very much looking forward to unveiling Kevin's design proposals inspired by their ideas. I'm sure our residents are going to love having a fabulous work of art on their doorstep when it is finished!"
Richard Stevenson, Raglan's Business Development Director says: "This is a truly collaborative art project involving local children and the community in its design, planning and creation. We're really looking forward to seeing the children's wonderful ideas take shape in Kevin's designs."
