Archaeological Perspectives on the Materiality of Urban Space: Identity and Structure of Historic Built Environment
Monika Baumanova, University of Uppsala, Sweden / University of Basel, Switzerland
Urban archaeology has long considered the development of built environment in cities as a component of their material cultural context, which has contributed to the continual construction of urban identities. The built environment is highly relevant reference point for understanding the interplay between cultural patterns and associations of social and spatial behaviour. Archaeological record in this context is an ultimate reference collection, on the basis of which we can establish how individual generations of urbanites over centuries chose to maintain or alter the material representations and structures present in the urban environment.This paper takes a long-term comparative perspective on historical urban settlements, which were largely managed as individual entities or even city-states, and highlights what aspects of the built environment were used to promote a sense of shared identity within a city. It takes into account historic cities from approximately the 13th century CE and considers the form and structural placement of architectural features which constitute spaces of public movement and activities, such as the presence or absence of walls, public buildings, street networks, open squares and cemeteries. Specifically it is analysed how their spatial placement played a crucial role in defining urban identities. Patterns observable from a comparative viewpoint are highlighted on case studies of European and African cities that were born of geographically distant cultural traditions, yet interlinked by increasingly important networks of trade and social contact.

Aurora Cannabis Inc (NYSE: ACB) is having an incredibly strong start to the trading session this morning, and for good reason. The company announced that it has been selected to be a major part of the medical cannabis space in Germany.
As mentioned above, Aurora Cannabis is having a great start to the trading session this morning after announcing an update with regard to its activities in Germany. The update came via press release early this morning.
In the release, ACB said that it has been selected by the German Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte BfArM (Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices) as a key player in the German medical cannabis space. The company was selected as one of three winners in the public tender to cultivate and distribute medical cannabis to Germany.
In the release, the company said that the contract will be formalized at the earliest on April 17, 2019. This is pending the outcome of an appeal procedure on which a ruling is anticipated on April 10, 2019.
In the release, the company said that the tender had 79 participating companies. The winners, including ACB, are able to establish production in Germany upon the completion of the contract associated with the tender.
The company said that the selection process was based on the submission of a concept for domestic cannabis production, delivery and pricing. In the release, the company said that its concept received the highest ranking out of all concepts submitted, further validating its role as a leader in integrated cultivation, production and delivery.
As a result, it has been awarded the maximum number of 5 of the 13 lots in the tender over a period of four years with a minimum supply of 4,000kg total. The cannabis produced will be sold to the German government and supplied to wholesalers for distribution to pharmacies.
Having the highest rated concept is a strong validation of the Aurora Standard cultivation philosophy, as well as of our track record in the delivery of safe and high-quality medical cannabis products to the German system. We commenced delivering dried cannabis flower from Canada to the German market in 2017, and recently added cannabis extracts to our offerings for German patients. Winning the tender reflects a natural evolution for Aurora, establishing a more prominent local footprint in this important international market with over 82 million people.
Being one of the winners in this tender reflects our ability to work with international governments and establish ourselves as a trusted partner in multiple global jurisdictions. Upon finalization of the allotment we will commence with our project to construct a state-of-the-art cannabis production facility to further service German patients with safe, high-quality cannabis.
One of the first lessons that we learn when we start to work in the market is that the news leads to moves. When it comes to ACB, the news proved to be overwhelmingly positive.
After all, this means that the company will be the top medical cannabis producer in Germany. That's a big win that's bound to excite investors.
So, it's not surprising to see that the stock is making its way up in the market this morning. As is normally the case, our partners at Trade Ideas were the first to alert us to the gains. Currently (9:18), ACB is trading at $9.25 per share after a gain of $0.30 per share or 3.35% thus far today.
Moving forward, the CNA Finance team will continue to keep a close eye on ACB. In particular, we're interested in following the story surrounding the company's continued work to bring its product around the world. The win in Germany is likely just one of many to come down the line. Nonetheless, we'll continue to follow the story closely and bring the news to you as it breaks!


When the cold weather hits it's always a shock to the system, but now the cold snap has arrived with a vengeance, your skin might be feeling the effects.
It could be tight chapped cheeks or a sore nose following a cold, or perhaps cracked lips that don't seem to improve no matter how much lip balm you slick on. Whatever the issue, when the cold weather strikes, you'll need to give your skin some serious TLC to get things back on track.
Dashing in from the cold outdoors to warm and toasty central heating can leave skin feeling parched and dry.
Rehydrate by adding a serum to your usual skincare routine, and protect the skin when you are outside with a rich daily moisture cream.
Boost your routine with the addition of nourishing face mask to add some extra moisture too. Some moisturising masks can even be put on at bedtime and left to soak in all night for a super intensive moisture boost.
If you are under the weather with the winter snuffles, then our cold relief bath oil or bath salt with the decongestant scent of eucalyptus is just the thing to help you breathe more easily.
And if you have fond memories of mum rubbing Vick on your chest for coughs and colds, take a look at our Aromatic Chest Rub, a gorgeous warming & decongestant aroma in a totally organic formulation.
Conventional lip balms based on petroleum oils and synthetic fragrances are usually the chief culprit for cracked and sore lips that never heal. Opt for an organic lip balm packed with natural oils that actively nourish and soothe the skin and see an immediate benefit. From £2.95.

Hugh Kaptur
Ranch Club Estates
Hugh M. Kaptur - Architect
Detroit born Hugh Michael Kaptur studied architectural engineering at the Lawrence Institute of Technology in the early 1950's. During his service with the Marines in Southern California at Camp Pendleton, he got off the troop train, smelled the orange blossoms and fell in love with California. While stationed at Camp Pendleton, he met his first wife and designed a real estate office for their family in San Clemente, his first built project. After the service, in 1954, Kaptur returned with his family to Detroit, where he worked with his Dad in GM's styling division.
During a vacation to Palm Springs in 1956 to visit his wife's family, Kaptur decided to go to work for Wexler & Harrison, a small, local architectural firm. After six months, the struggling office had to let him go. He went to work in his garage making renderings for other architects and was hired by contractors to draw building plans. Kaptur's first own commercial project was the Impala Lodge, now the Triangle Inn, in 1957-58.
In 1959 he designed several home plans for Ranch Club Estates, and sold them for $150 each with no repeat fees. He also built his own house on Belding Drive where he would live for the next 33 years.
Other home design projects followed soon, including the William Burgess Residence, the Pete Siva Residence and the Robert Leaver Residence (now demolished) all perched above Palisades Road on a rocky ledge with sweeping panoramic views of the valley floor. His most well-known residential design is for actor William Holden in Southridge.

Bert Simonis and Hugh M. Kaptur reviewing a potential design change to Nici's Pool House.
Hugh is semi-retired, but his home office has a drafting table that sees regular use as he continues to work on various projects. Today he is recognized as one of the members of the Palm Springs School of Architecture, he has received a star on Palm Springs Walk of Stars, was celebrated at the 2014 Modernism Week, and is featured in a documentary by This 'n That Films.

Beast of Blood, released in the UK as Blood Devils, is a 1970 Filipino horror film. A sequel to The Mad Doctor of Blood Island, it was directed by Eddie Romero. It was the fourth in a series of four Filipino horror films, produced by Romero and Kane W. Lynn, known as the "Blood Island" series, which also included Terror Is a Man, Brides of Blood and The Mad Doctor of Blood Island. It was also Romero's last film for Lynn's Hemisphere Pictures, as the two went their separate ways after this film was completed.

Plot
The plot of this film picks up where The Mad Doctor of Blood Island leaves off. Upon leaving Blood Island, the ship carrying Dr. Bill Foster (John Ashley), Sheila Willard, her father and Carlos Lopez explodes and sinks after mutated "chlorophyll creature" Don Ramon Lopez (the titular "Beast") is found secreted on board and goes on a rampage, destroying the ship. The monstrous Don Ramon washes up back on Blood Island and heads into the jungle. Dr. Foster is the only other survivor, and after a few months recovering in a hospital, he heads back to Blood Island on another ship. On board is reporter Myra Russell (Celeste Yarnall), who is investigating the explosion of the ship.

When Foster and Russell arrive on the island, they find the natives in a state of fear, believing that the old Lopez mansion is cursed. With the village headman Ramu (Alfonso Carvajal) and the ship's captain (played by co-producer Beverly Miller), they search the house and find Razak (Bruno Punzalan) alive. The "green men" return and after a fight, Myra is captured and taken to the evil Dr. Lorca (Eddie Garcia), who is still alive, but horribly scarred from his seeming demise in the earlier film.

Dr. Foster and Laida (Liza Belmonte) search the mountains and find Dr. Lorca's hidden lab. Laida goes back to the village for help and Lorca shows Foster his latest experiments. He has removed Don Ramon's head and has attached it to machines, while the decapitated body remains strapped to a table. Lorca knows the head can speak, but it refuses to say anything.

The captain, Laida and Ramu lead an attack on Lorca's headquarters and fight with his men. Laida finds her father, who shows signs of the chlorophyll poisoning, and rescues him. Foster shoots Razak. Don Ramon's head controls his body from afar and wills it to attack and apparently kill Dr. Lorca, crushing his head with a piece of machinery. Lorca's lab explodes, killing all inside, and Foster and the group leave with a box of Dr. Lorca's papers and notes.

Production
The film's budget has been estimated at between $125,000 to $200,000. Actor Ronald Remy did not return to play Dr. Lorca as he had in Mad Doctor of Blood Island, so in Beast of Blood, Garcia played the mad doctor. Co-producer Beverly Miller played the ship's captain.

To promote the film, the producers had fake $10 bills printed that folded in half, revealing an ad flier for Beast of Blood when opened. The phony bills were then scattered all over the surrounding neighborhood nearest the drive-in that was playing the film. Jim Arena said, "The poster for the film depicted the chlorophyll monster gruesomely ripping its own head off! This horrific drawing eventually became better known than the film itself. While no such scene actually exists in the picture, it is the kind of tantalizing movie promotion that helped get those cars lining up at the drive-in".

Release
The film was released in 1970 on a double feature with Curse of the Vampires, a 1966 Filipino horror film that was directed by Gerardo de Leon. Beast of Blood did substantial business in New York theaters, and producer Lynn (as Hemisphere Pictures) looked forward to getting the distribution rights to Ashley's next horror film, titled Beast of the Yellow Night. However, Ashley and his own production company, Four Associates Ltd., put up the money to produce the film themselves with director Romero, and Ashley cut a deal with Roger Corman's then-fledgling New World Pictures to distribute it. After Beast of Blood, Lynn found himself cut out of the deal entirely.

Critical response

TV Guide awarded the film one out of four stars, calling it "ridiculous" and criticized the film's poor make-up effects and production values.

11 Popular Mexico Destinations You'll Want to Visit
Lindsay CohnUpdated: Aug. 03, 2021
Archaeological discoveries? Check. Flavorful cuisine? You betcha. Breathtaking beaches and lush jungles? Oh yeah. Charming towns and vibrant cities? Yup. This south-of-the-border nation has it all!

Among the popular Mexico vacation spots, Cancun has a reputation as party central—and deservedly so. It's flush with all-inclusive resorts that serve bebidas (drinks) from a.m. to p.m. And the clubs in Zona Hotelera are a favorite among spring-breakers looking for booze-fueled fun. But there's more to Cancun than drinking and dancing. Notably, there are plenty of recreational activities and family-oriented properties too. And with the Mayan museum and ruins just a short drive away, you can treat kids to an eye-opening day trip that might even be one of the vacations that even your jaded teenagers will enjoy.

San Miguel de Allende, in Mexico's central highlands, is a colonial-era charmer with enchanting architecture, quaint cobblestone streets, a thriving art scene, and romantic ambiance. This expat-friendly city also has admirable accommodations such as Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada and Casa Wabi, superb chef-driven restaurants, and artisan shops. If that wasn't enough, San Miguel de Allende hosts a number of noteworthy cultural festivals throughout the year. Before you go, brush up on these essential Spanish phrases.

It's true that Tulum is one of the Mexico destinations with the most hype. But, honestly, it's all warranted. This chill coastal town is pure paradise. Eco-luxe hotels, bars, restaurants, and boutiques dot Boca Paila, the road separating the ocean and jungle. Savor tasty tacos at Safari and Taqueria La Eufemia. Rent a bike and ride to the ancient ruins of El Castillo and Parque Nacional Tulum. Indulge in traditional pampering treatments at Yäan Wellness. Or book an excursion to Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve.

This longtime holiday hotspot hasn't lost its sparkle over the years. On the contrary, Cabo San Lucas's star shines brighter than ever. The town's sport-fishing, buzzing nightlife, and yacht-filled marina continues to be a major draw. It also flaunts fabulous restaurants and high-end lodgings like Hacienda Encantada, Montage Los Cabos, and The Resort at Pedregal, which has one of the most amazing infinity pools on the planet.
Elzbieta Sekowska/Shutterstock
The capital of the Yucatán Peninsula is steeped in Spanish colonial heritage, but it hasn't lost its deep Mayan roots. The heart of its historic center is Plaza de la Independencia, bordered by Mérida Cathedral and Iglesia de la Tercera Orden. The city has more to offer than a look at the past. Museo Fernando García Ponce-Macay displays a collection of contemporary Yucatecán art. And then there's Paseo de Montejo, Mérida's rendition of the Champs-Élysées in Paris, a wide boulevard with leafy trees, cafés, and 19th-century mansions turned hotels, which are definitely unique accommodations you'll want to go out of your way to visit.

One of the most popular Mexico vacation spots, Playa del Carmen is situated between the chaos of Cancun and the tranquility of Tulum. Its palm-fringed beaches are indeed as lovely as you've heard. Coral reefs provide a surfeit of opportunists for snorkeling and scuba diving. The epicenter of Playa del Carmen is Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue) with shopping, dining, and entertainment. The Frida Kahlo Museum is dedicated to the life and work of the famed Mexican artist. Travelling to Mexico? You won't find these popular "Mexican" foods.
Nenad Basic/Shutterstock
Off the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the Caribbean Sea, is an idyllic island with long stretches of powder-soft sand, lively nightlife, and world-class dive sites unlike any you'll see in other Mexico destinations. Don't confuse laid-back with boring—there's nothing humdrum about Cozumel. Sign up for scuba lessons, swim with dolphins at Chankanaab National Park, or spend the afternoon exploring the Mayan ruins of El Cedral. And if you'd love to check out some Mexico vacation spots but are worried about safety, it turns out Mexico is actually one of the countries to travel to that are safer than you think.

Valladolid is a bastion of history with cobbled lanes, Spanish arcades, 16th-century churches, convents, and colorful colonial facades. Feast your eyes on Mexican folk art at Casa de los Venados. Chow down on authentic Yucatán fare at the family-run eateries. Keep in mind, Valladolid's inland location means no ocean breeze. So, it can get mighty hot. Need to cool down? Take a dip in the freshwater cenotes scattered throughout the city.
Jess Kraft/Shutterstock
Even among other Mexico destinations, Mexico City is a hub of art, culture, and cuisine. Residents will tell you that it's all about food and fun. Not surprisingly, both the nightlife and culinary scene are el fuego. Equally exciting are the array of places to stay. Our top pick? InterContinental Presidente Mexico City, which flaunts 700 impeccably designed guests rooms and suites. Plus, it's within walking distance of some of the most important attractions, such as the Museo Nacional de Antropologia and Museo de Arte Moderno.

Made famous by Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, Puerto Vallarta continues to lure travelers years later as one of the most popular Mexico vacation spots. Not that we're surprised. You can't beat its dazzling shores and sparkling waters. From snorkeling day trips to strolling the malecón (boardwalk) and bopping into handicraft stands, there's more than enough to keep you busy all day. And when the sun goes down, Old Vallarta comes alive with bars, lounges, and clubs. If you like Puerto Vallarta (and who doesn't?), take a peek at these stunning spots on Mexico's Pacific Coast.
Aleksandar Todorovic/Shutterstock
The antidote to the hordes of tourists in Cancun? A low-key island 20 minutes by ferry across the Bahia de Mujeres (Bay of Women). Locals are warm and easygoing. Golf carts are the preferred mode of transport on Isla Mujeres. No-fuss eateries along the main drag serve fresh seafood sans attitude or crowds while neighboring watering holes mix up strong margaritas. Beautiful beaches, coral reefs, a sea turtle sanctuary, and the remains of a Mayan temple round out its allure. It's never too early to plan your next trip. If Mexico destinations are out of the question, try the best weekend escapes to book ASAP.

There is no way I can eat 36 mini muffins, actually that's a lie, I could easily sit down and munch my way through all of these mini treats, but that wouldn't be fair to all my friends who like to get their taste buds on my creations. I kept a small section for myself and put the rest in my tin and took them on my merry way to work. Apart from the fact that I couldn't spell cinnamon when writing a little note to the ol' colleagues, my little muffins were practically gone before my first break, and I made a little profit towards my baking fund for next time!
Oh, and If you were wondering from my previous post, I've decided to make a selection of peppermint creams for valentines day. Not only will they be different shapes, sizes and colours but they might not just be peppermint... On that note I shall leave you for today and my next post will reveal all!

The Dutch professionals will focus on Integrity and Security in NGOs. Those concepts will be explained by providing different and practical examples of how they are being put into use.
The meaning of the worldwide #MeToo movement, how to deal with sexual harassment and and how to keep integrity in very tough situations are some of the topics covered in this event.

Shocking photo moment on massive clifftop
Chilling photos have emerged showing a girl dangling her legs off the sheer drop as a boy – thought to be her brother – sat next to her.
by Adam Bennett, The Sun
A reckless dad has been slammed for putting two young children on the edge of a 45 metre cliff for a photo.
Horrifying photos show a young girl dangling her legs off the sheer drop as a boy - thought to be her brother - was sat next to her on Saturday.
The family ignored multiple warning signs to stage the photos at the famous sandstone cliffs at West Bay, Dorset in the UK.

The man, believed to be the children's dad, was seen balancing the girl with her feet over the edge.
A dog and a woman were also seen standing perilously close to the edge.
Stunned onlooker Mazz Blehs, 57, a local landlady who was on a day out with her husband, said: "My husband spotted them first with his binoculars and said 'look at that'.
"I couldn't believe it.
"The man positioned the young girl and boy on the cliff edge for the photo.
"She even had her feet dangling over the edge.
"I think the girl must have been seven or eight years old but the boy looked about three.
"It was so dangerous I felt ill looking at it.
"There have been rockfalls lately and I feared the worst.
"After he took the photo they went before anyone had the chance to approach them.
"The man should really have known better and there are signs up telling people to stay away from the cliffs. I was shocked."

The alarming snaps prompted a safety warning from the coastguard.
"The Jurassic Coast is a beautiful place to come and visit and we understand the desire to want to capture that picture perfect moment," local coastguard Jake Lanning said.
"We have seen many instances over the years of individuals and families putting themselves at needless risk trying to take that perfect photo, but these images represent one of the most severe examples.
"You have to ask the question: 'What photograph is worth risking your life, or the lives of your loved ones?'
"Our advice remains very simple: Stay well away from the edge of the cliff, keep your loved ones close and your dogs on a lead.
"Make sensible decisions and take home only happy memories."
The photographs come just days after a woman in Victoria fell 80 metres to her death at a lookout in the Grampians National Park.
The 38-year-old mum, Rosy Loomba, plunged to her death from the Boroka Lookout, near Halls Gap on Saturday afternoon.
Ms Loomba's husband and her young children watched on helplessly. It is understood the woman, from Craigieburn in north Melbourne fell after climbing over a safety barrier at the lookout - famed on Instagram as the "perfect selfie" spot.
It took Victoria Police and State Emergency Service volunteers more than six hours to retrieve Ms Loomba's body.

This place has restricted access from 15 October to 15 January.
At Segura de Toro in Caceres province there is a traditional mountain farm in an excellent state of conservation, where each tree has its own name and identity. The most important tree is known as "Hondonero", and is rooted at the lower end of the property. It is 25 metres high and estimated to be around 700 years old.
Continuing upwards a little, we come to the "Castaño del Arroyo", which is around 800 years old. A little further on we find "El Bronco", with its unique spiral trunk, and then "El Retorcío", with its twisted trunk, which gives it its name (the "Twisted One").
At the highest part of the farm we come to "El Menuero". This chestnut tree is special because, as its name (the "Fine One") suggests, it is the most delicate of them all. And all because it is the furthest from the stream...
The best times to visit are in late spring, when the new leaves are budding, and in autumn when they are bearing fruit. There are many routes that include a visit to these unique trees, that have been officially catalogued as Unique Trees of Extremadura.

One of the most coveted party invitations, not just in Houston but also internationally, is from Becca Cason Thrash. You know you've arrived when the socialite and fund-raiser for the arts—she's a board member for the Houston Grand Opera, the Contemporary Arts Museum, and American Friends of the Louvre—asks you to swing by to hobnob with celebrities and check out her gallery-worthy art collection. When she's not busy entertaining, Thrash finds quiet time at her desk in the library of the 20,000-square-foot manse she shares with her husband, eCorp chairman and CEO John Thrash. Surrounded by paintings, this peaceful spot is where she writes countless letters and thank-you notes to artists, royalty, politicians, and philanthropists.

İhlas Journalism Co.Selman Kandeniz2019-04-17T20:36:03+03:00
İhlas Gazetecilik (İhlas Newspaper Publishing), which owns Türkiye Newspaper as well as several printing facilities that offer printing services both in Turkey and overseas, is among the leading media companies with a strong competitive power and high brand awareness.
Having maintained the same ownership structure and publishing policy since its launch on April 22, 1970, Türkiye Newspaper revised its visual style in 2013 to reflect the slogan, "New Türkiye for the New Turkey." Committed to the ethical principles of publishing and fundamental rights and freedoms, Türkiye Newspaper maintains a high level of quality in news coverage and content.
High Brand Awareness, Consistent Publishing Policy
With its 499 employees, experienced management team, consistent publishing policy, high brand awareness, and strong reader base, Türkiye Newspaper has considerable competitive power and ranks among the leading media corporations in the sector. Enjoying the advantage of having its own printing facilities, İhlas Gazetecilik's printing facility in Istanbul has the capacity to print 55,000 newspapers per hour. Additionally, the Company is capable of producing additional pages featuring local news and also printing many national and local newspapers at its facilities in Ankara, Izmir, Adana, Trabzon and Antalya.
Türkiye Newspaper has a proven track record in sales because 90% of total newspapers sold per day are hand delivered to subscribers. The Company has created an integrated business model. Accordingly, all hand-delivery operations are carried out through the extensive marketing network of İhlas Pazarlama A.Ş. (İhlas Marketing), which consists of 806 sales points across Turkey. The hand-delivery method, which is commonly used around the world, and particularly in the United States and Japan, not only helps build strong bonds with readers but also ensures consistency in sales.
Publicly Traded Since 2010
İhlas Gazetecilik A.Ş. shares have been traded on BIST (Borsa Istanbul) under the ticker symbol "IHGZT ISIN" since June 14, 2010. As of year-end 2014, İhlas Media Holding and İhlas Holding respectively held 56.55% and 6.92% stakes in İhlas Gazetecilik.
Placing great importance on maintaining its corporate identity, Türkiye Newspaper constantly renews its content and layout, and is exemplary in the media industry. In early 2013, the size of the newspaper was reduced to offer readers more convenience. Without compromising its traditions and principles, Türkiye Newspaper made significant changes to its visual style and editorial staff on September 17, 2013.
"New Turkey" For The New Turkey
The revamped Türkiye Newspaper welcomed prominent writers, such as Yıldıray Oğur, Burcu Çetinkaya, Fuat Uğur and Ceren Kenar, to its editorial staff. At a time when news channels broadcast live news almost every minute and online journalism threatens newspaper circulations, Türkiye Newspaper chooses "depth" over "shallow coverage" and offers its readers "high-quality special news" with its special news service. The Newspaper also keeps its finger on the pulse of domestic and international politics, economy, health and education with its young and dynamic team based in Ankara, the capital.
With experienced sports writers such as Kemal Belgin, Sadık Söztutan, Hasan Sarıçiçek, Ömer Faruk Ünal, Öcal Uluç and Ümit Aktan on its editorial staff, the Newspaper is also an important source of sports news.
Türkiye Newspaper offers its readers balanced coverage on a wide range of topics, including the special health section and the culture and arts section, both published three days a week, and the automobile section prepared by the famous rally driver Burcu Çetinkaya.
A Steady Flow Of Advertising Revenue
Enjoying a steady flow of advertising revenue, Türkiye Newspaper collaborates with Dijital Varlıklar Company, a subsidiary of İhlas Media Holding, to further increase its internet advertising revenue. Having reached 185,000 visitors daily in 2014, www.turkiyegazetesi.com.tr, the online edition of Türkiye Newspaper, is constantly increasing its advertising revenue as well.
Printing Facilities Of İhlas Gazetecilik
The printing facilities of İhlas Gazetecilik, which were established to print the Türkiye Newspaper, have steadily grown since then by offering printing services to companies outside the Group, and have eventually become one of the major printing facilities in Turkey.
Since 1981, the facilities have been providing integrated services including prepress, printing and post-press services for newspapers, magazines, promotional materials and books, among many others.
İhlas Gazetecilik's printing facility in Istanbul is built on a large tract of land close to Istanbul Atatürk Airport. Its central location provides easy access and hence time saving in the delivery of services. The printing facility offers its services not only to Turkish companies, but also to foreign customers in numerous countries.
In addition to its Istanbul facility, İhlas Gazetecilik has printing facilities in Ankara, Izmir, Adana, Trabzon and Antalya as well. The buildings of the printing facilities in Trabzon and Izmir were refurbished in 2014. İhlas Gazetecilik's printing facility in Istanbul has the capacity to print 55,000 newspapers per hour. The Company also prints many national and local newspapers at its facilities located in other cities. İhlas Gazetecilik is one of the two companies that own the largest network of printing centers in Turkey.
İhlas Gazetecilik Printing Facilities in Numbers:
– In six regions with a total printing capacity of 265,000 units per hour
– The web offset printing facility in Istanbul has a printing capacity of 5 million forms per day
– American binders production capacity is 320,000 units per day
– The sheet-fed offset printing capacity of the Istanbul facility is 300,000 sheets
– Hard cover production capacity is 72,000 units per day

Nayanmar () oder Nayanar (Tamil:   [], wörtl. "Gebieter") bezeichnet die dreiundsechzig Heiligen des tamilischen Shivaismus (Shaiva Siddhanta), die der Bhakti-Bewegung angehörten. Ihre Lebenszeit wird auf das 6. bis 11. Jahrhundert datiert. Die Nayanmar erschufen den Tirumurai, 12 Sammlungen oder Bücher von tamilischer, devotionaler Poesie.
Das letzte dieser Bücher wurde um 1150 von Sekkilar geschrieben und enthält die Hagiographien der Nayanmar. Dieses Buch wird Periyapuranam genannt und der Hauptteil enthält die Hagiographie Sambandars oder Tirunanasambandars, der die ersten drei Bücher verfasst hat und im 8. Jahrhundert gelebt hat. Der Legende nach wurde Sambandars im Alter von zweieinhalb Jahren im Tempel in Sirkazhi von seinem Vater ausgesetzt. Als er vor Hunger anfing zu weinen, erschien Shivas Gattin Parvati und nährte ihn aus einem goldenen Behältnis mit der Milch ihre Brüste. Daraufhin sang Sambandar vor Freude die ersten Strophen seiner Dichtung.

Die ersten sieben Bücher des Tirumurai werden als Tevaram bezeichnet und gelten als die wichtigsten Bücher dieser Sammlung. Sie wurden um das 8. Jahrhundert von drei der Nayanmar verfasst, Sambandar, Appar und Sundarar. Diese sieben Bücher enthalten Gedichte, die Shiva in einem bestimmten Tempel preisen, zumeist Tempel in Tamil Nadu, einige Gedichte beziehen sich aber auch auf Tempel auf Sri Lanka. Die Gedichte enthalten eine vielfältige Mythologie Shivas und seiner Tempel, darunter wichtige Pilgerorte wie Madurai und Chidambaram, aber auch weniger bekannte Orte.

Das achte Buch enthält das Tiruvasagam und das Tirukkovaiyar, ein beliebtes Gedicht zur Lobpreisung Shivas und mystische Liebesgedichte an Shiva wie er in Chidambaram erscheint. Die übrigen Bücher des Tirumurai enthalten verschiedene Gedichte der shivaitischen Bhakti.

Der Tirumurai wird zwar nicht liturgisch verwendet, jedoch singen nicht-brahmanische Priester (Pantaram oder Otuvar) den Tevaram an den jeweiligen im Tevaram beschriebenen Tempeln, um die dortigen Rituale zu ergänzen. Die tamilische Musik des Altertums bildet wahrscheinlich die Melodien dieser Lieder, während die Ragas zeitgenössisch sind.

The One Heart Foundation is calling all architects interested in contributing to a life changing international design project.
The Australian based 'for-purpose' organisation has announced a design competition offering entrants the opportunity to design and masterplan an eco-village for abandoned and orphaned children in Kenya.
The competition winner will be awarded AUD $2000 and the chance to partner with Melbourne based architectural firm ClarkeHopkinsClarke on a pro bono basis to deliver the project over the next two years. Second place will be awarded $1500, and third place $1000.
"We want to work with creative architecture students and recent graduates from around the world to develop a new village that is environmentally sustainable, low cost, simple to build and contextually responsive to the site, culture, climate and unique use," says Dean Landy, founder of the One Heart Foundation.
The challenge consists two parts: firstly, to masterplan a holistic children's eco-village complete with the facilities outlined in the competition brief, and secondly, to create a unique design solution for each of these facilities.
The village will serve as a sister campus to the original One Heart Village, located in Turbo, Kenya, which is currently home to 75 children and a primary school with 180 students.
The second village, to be designed by the competition winner in collaboration with ClarkeHopkinsClarke, will provide homes to another 100 children, a primary school, secondary school, skills training centre and farm. It will be located in the Provence of Soy, Kakamega County – a rural area with a poverty rate of 53 per cent.
The competition is open to all students, graduates and practicing architects, with both individuals and teams invited to enter.
100 per cent of funds raised via competition entry fees will go towards constructing the village. The entry fee is $60 for individuals or $80 for teams.
The final design submission is due December 16, with winners announced in early 2017.


Assistant Professor of Energy, Resources, and Environment Jonas Nahm has been appointed to the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations' Public Intellectuals Program (PIP). This two-year-program is intended to improve American public understanding of China by strengthening links among U.S. China scholars, policymakers, opinion leaders, and the public.
Nahm will be one of 20 fellows in PIP's sixth cohort. In this role, Nahm will gain access to senior policymakers and experts in both the United States and China and leaders in the emerging business and nonprofit sectors in China. Nahm said he looks forward to learning from other U.S.-China experts and hopes to examine the U.S.-China relationship from a variety of angles throughout the two-year program.
Fellows are required to develop a public outreach initiative that leverages their knowledge to inform policy and pubic opinion. Nahm pitched a U.S.-China podcast series in which he plans to highlight collaboration between the U.S. and China in areas ranging from the global supply chain to the arts.
When Nahm starts the PIP program in May, he will be the school's second PIP fellow. George and Sadie Hyman Professor of China Studies and Director of the China Studies Program Andrew Mertha was a PIP fellow from 2008-2010.

With Kamala Harris in the VP Slot, We Just Made History—Let's Do It Again in November
Women voters and Black voters could determine the outcome of this election.
By Alicia Garza
Former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden made a historic decision this week, choosing Senator Kamala Harris to join him on the Democratic Party ticket. This move is incredibly significant, as a woman, much less a Black woman, has never served in this role in the 244 years since this country was established. A woman has only been a vice presidential nominee on a major party ticket in two prior elections in this country.
To be clear, Black women are the heart of the Democratic party base. Black women vote at higher rates than all other groups—and yet in 2016, the number of Black women who voted dropped by 10%. After eight years of the first Black president in the history of the nation, when faced with an all-white ticket, some Black women decided not to vote. Women are reliable voters, and Black women are and have been the backbone of the Democratic Party. Their presence and enthusiasm at the ballot box will be a decisive factor in the upcoming general election, and a successful ticket will address the needs and concerns of women, in order to move the country closer to what it promises to be.
In 2020, voter turnout will be critical. It's never been enough to implore people to vote because their ancestors died for us to have the right, and it's never been enough to admonish Black voters that if they don't vote, they don't have the right to complain. Black voters have every right to complain: Since 1965, Black voters have overwhelmingly turned out for white Democratic candidates and gotten little in return for their support.
Women voters and Black voters could determine the outcome of this election. As we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of white women gaining the right to vote in America, the selection of Senator Kamala Harris is monumental—and represents the work that we have done, and the work we must continue, more than 100 years later, to ensure that the voices of women, Black communities, and Black women, are front and center in American politics.
With a historic choice such as this one, there is an opportunity to right what has been wrong for a very, very long time. For the first time in history, a Black woman, as vice president, will be charged with being the top advisor to the president of the United States, presiding over the Senate, and breaking any tie as it relates to legislation being passed in Congress. This is a role that ostensibly could help to set policy and practice in the White House, and as such, could ensure what we've pushed for at the Black to the Future Action Fund—a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.
Representation is important—it is essential that the ticket reflects what America looks like. But representation cannot be the total substance of our support: We must match representation both in symbol and in substance. Women and Black people, and other communities that have been left out and left behind, must be in positions of leadership. When they do lead, it is also important that this leadership lift up those who have been kept down after generations of rigged rules left us without the things we need to live well.
We have a mandate, and that mandate is to save this country from the jaws of the past, when women, and Black people, and people of color, and immigrants, and queer people, were seen as less than fully human. That fight is far from over, and this November will be a decisive moment to demonstrate that the majoritarian values of this nation are still that of freedom, justice, and equality for all, and not just some.
The most important part of this choice is what it can do to energize the strongest base of the Democratic Party: Black women. It is a signal to Black voters that we matter, and now there is an even more historic opportunity to match the symbol with the substance of what it means for Black voters to matter. Black voters want to see the issues we care about reflected in the campaigns that seek our votes. We want to know that a campaign has its finger on the pulse of how issues like health care, housing, criminal system reform, and the economy will be addressed—not just in general, but in terms of how racial and gender disparities built into each of these issues will be specifically addressed and resolved. Women and Black communities took control of the House of Representatives. We've elected more women and women of color to the leadership of this country than any other time in history. We now have an opportunity to take back the White House, reclaim the Senate, and get moving on the path to real victory—matching our values and our symbols to the laws and practices that govern this land.
Selecting Senator Kamala Harris as vice president Biden's running mate was the right decision at the right time. Black voters must not only see ourselves in the halls of power and at the top of the ticket; we must also know that the symbolism of a Black woman as vice president can and will translate into better policies that will improve the lives of Black communities, which will, in turn, translate into better policies for all of America. The work begins today to ensure that we make that vision a clear reality and do it successfully in the next 80 days until the election, and all the days afterward when we win.
Alicia Garza is the [rincipal at the Black Futures Lab and the Black to the Future Action Fund, which she founded to make Black communities powerful in politics. Her debut book, The Purpose of Power: How We Come Together When We Fall Apart, is out on October 20, 2020. Follow her on Instagram @chasinggarza.

New ranks, shelters for Zupco buses
Joseph Madzimure Senior Reporter
Zupco and Harare City Council are working on designating official Zupco ranks where they will erect shelters for commuters.
Government last year re-introduced Zupco as a mass public transport system with a direct subsidy to allow lower fares.
In an interview yesterday, Zupco acting chief executive Mr Everisto Madangwa confirmed new ranks were being designated.
"We are working with the Harare City Council and our parent ministry to establish designated ranks for our fleet," he said.
"We want to ensure our passengers are picked up and dropped off at designated places."
Harare City Council acting spokesperson Mr Innocent Ruwende confirmed that they were working with Zupco to refurbish the shelters at the terminuses to ensure they were usable even during the rainy season.
"Yes, we are working with Zupco," he said. "However, as City of Harare, our major mandate is to provide the relevant infrastructure and traffic control measures. The actual provision of transport is best done by Zupco and other operators.
"We are also encouraging the use of other modes of transport such as cycling. There are also other players that should be in the system. Light rail and cable cars will improve our transport system in the long run."
Mr Ruwende said council was courting investors to assist in building the ranks.
"Our infrastructure is in a state of disrepair," he said.
"However, there are some investors who have shown interest in developing Speke Avenue and Simon Muzenda terminuses into state-of-the-art bus exchange points. These projects are still under consideration."
Mr Ruwende said they were working on ensuring the co-existence of Zupco buses and commuter omnibuses.
"Zupco buses are already using the existing terminuses," he said.
"Initially, the buses were allowed to load and offload from the street as mixing kombis and buses was going to make movement in the terminuses virtually impossible.
"At Speke Avenue Terminus, Zupco buses are using two dedicated bays, while kombis are loading from the rest of the terminus.
"We are happy to report that movement of traffic at this facility is happening smoothly."

Super Eagles aim to extend unbeaten record against Cameroon
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will hope to extend their 6-game unbeaten run against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon when both sides clash at the Weiner Neustadt Stadium in Austria this Friday.
The Super Eagles lost the final of the 2000 Africa Cup of Nations to Cameroon on home turf but have not lost to the Cameroonians since that time. Nigeria knocked Cameroon out of the 2004 AFCON and came from behind to beat Cameroon 3-2 in the round of 16 at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Nigerians are unbeaten in the last 6 games against Cameroon, winning 5 and drawing one. The Super Eagles would head into this tie full of confidence because of the head to head record, and their recent performances in competitive games and friendlies.
The Super Eagles secured their spot in the upcoming AFCON tournament having finished the qualifying stages unbeaten. In fact, the only loss recorded by the Nigerian team in the last 10 games was inflicted by African Champions; Algeria.
The players in the Nigerian squad also enjoyed successful seasons at some of the top clubs in Europe and Africa. However, Gernot Rohr faces a selection headache because a significant number of players will not be available for the clash against Cameroon.
Victor Osimhen, Simy Nwankwo, Zaidu Sanusi, Semi Ajayi, Ola Aina, Tyronne Ebuehi and Kevin Akpoguma informed the national team coach of their inability to make the trip due to injuries but the players available should be able to do enough to continue the impressive record against Cameroon.
Possible Lineups:
Maduka Okoye is expected to retain his spot in goal while Shehu Abdullahi and Jamilu Collins would operate as full-backs. Troost-Ekong and Awaziem would be a solid pairing at centre-back while Ndidi and Etebo would play in a midfield pivot. Iwobi, Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa and Paul Onuachu completes the attack.
Okoye; Abdullahi, Troost-Ekong, Awaziem, Collins; Ndidi, Etebo; Iwobi, Iheanacho, Musa; Onuachu.


SCRANTON, Pa. -- A 10-year-old girl from Dunmore was recognized for her generosity.
Madison Lutz held a stuffed animal sale and two lemonade stands to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House of Scranton, an organization that provides a housing for parents of children in the hospital.
Madison's concern for others caught the attention of Lackawanna County commissioners when she said that if she had a million dollars, she'd give it all to the Ronald McDonald House.
"I felt really happy inside they recognized me for what I thought and that other kids probably wouldn't have said that," Lutz said.
To help her cause, Lackawanna County commissioners gave Madison $200 on Wednesday.

Riding the serpent: The discovery and study of Apep
Making a discovery in astronomy is always exciting. However, while some discoveries have an immediate and obvious scientific impact, other discoveries require a period of incubation to tease out their wide-ranging implications. The discovery and study of Apep, a new colliding-wind binary system that has confounded our ideas of how massive stars lose their mass near the end of their lives, fits well into the latter group.
Joseph Callingham
ASTRON Postdoctoral Fellow, Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON)
The path that led to the discovery of Apep started with a relatively simple crossmatch between X-ray and radio surveys in the last year of my undergraduate study at the University of Sydney, under the supervision of Bryan Gaensler and Sean Farrell. Immediately we knew it was an interesting source, with exceptionally bright emission at X-ray, radio, and infrared wavelengths for a source unknown in the literature.
What followed was a flurry of ideas about what the source could be based on the archival information at hand, such as a young stellar object, an abnormal cataclysmic variable, or an odd colliding wind-binary. However, none of our ideas about the nature of the source seemed to perfectly hang together. Momentum was behind the idea that Apep was a new colliding-wind binary but the radio emission would make it the brightest radio colliding-wind binary discovered outside of the unique object Eta Carinae, not to mention the observed radio variability was strange for such a characterisation.
We reasoned we could write up a short-paper detailing the archival data and our best guess of the nature of the source. However, I thought there was something special here - such a paper would just pass the discovery onto someone else. Unfortunately, timing was not our side as I had to start my PhD with Bryan Gaensler (University of Toronto) and Ron Ekers (CSIRO) in the completely different field of radio galaxy evolution. Therefore, the work on Apep naturally ended up on the backburner.
This is where the imaging guru Peter Tuthill (University of Sydney) comes into the story as the extreme infrared properties of Apep particularly caught his attention. He understood that to make progress with unveiling the nature of Apep, we needed a high-resolution infrared image to reveal the dust morphology. This would particularly help in discerning whether Apep was a young stellar object or a colliding-wind binary.
We wrote a proposal to use a mid-infrared camera on the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) to image the source in the middle of my PhD (which I kept on the down-low with my PhD supervisors). Unfortunately, we got unlucky for quite some time with bad weather or broken instruments. We finally got the time in the last year of my PhD but, because of the rush that always happens at the end of a doctoral thesis, we did not prioritise reducing the data right away. It was only as I was writing up the conclusion chapter of my thesis we became aware that the data was about to become public and we had better reduce it quickly just in case something interesting popped out that made the story of Apep compelling.
And the old adage "pictures speak louder than words" definitely applies to the the spectacular image you can see below (Figure 1 in the paper). When that image appeared on our screens, it was clear that this is likely one of the most captivating images an astronomer could hope to produce in their career. The image, as perfected by Mark Edwards (University of Sydney), also immediately confirmed to us that we were dealing with a colliding-wind binary.
Mid-infrared image of Apep displaying the speculator sinuous dust spiral being sculptured by the massive binary located at the centre.
While the image is beautiful, we were stuck with what it meant scientifically. It immediately brought to mind the so-called "Pinwheel Nebulae" that Peter had discovered 20 years ago, but this was larger and with more complicated structure than the clean Archimedean spiral observed in those systems. Since pinwheel plumes encode many fundamental stellar parameters, and because proper motion studies of the dust structure give geometrical distances and wind properties, we obtained Director's Discretionary Time on the VLT for a second epoch of infrared imaging and spectra.
At this point I had started my post doctoral fellowship at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON), so I was sitting in a radio astronomy institute trying to get my head around how to reduce infrared spectra and images. Thankfully, hot-star expert Peredur Williams (University of Edinburgh) was available to help us interpret the spectra of the system, and I was lucky enough to run into Paul Crowther (University of Sheffield) at a conference who also cast his expert eye over the spectra and system. They identified the likely presence of two massive stars at the end of their lives in the system, which seems to help explain the incredible radio and X-ray brightness.
However, the second epoch infrared image we got back was unexpected and produced the most pressing enigma for the system. The dust pattern had hardly moved at all. It appeared to be almost stagnant. This was totally unexpected because, thanks to the spectrum taken by Lucyna Kedziora-Chudczer (UNSW), we had evidence of gas in the system moving at over 3400 km/s. At any reasonable assumption of the distance to the system, the dust pattern was moving far too slow. According to all our physical models, the dust should be moving at the speed of the gas. Finding the dust behaving in such a way presented a fundamental problem: it was like finding a feather in hurricane hardly moving at all.
This contradiction made us critically question all our assumptions about the system. In particular, perhaps the system lay at a much greater distance than we thought? However, in order to reconcile the two speeds, the system needed to be more than halfway across the galaxy. This idea immediately seemed to throw up more problems than it solved. The extreme luminosities from the radio to X-ray, when scaled for this hypothetical distance, placed the object's energetics orders of magnitude beyond any known stellar physics. In addition to this, many lines of evidence from the data, such as kinematic distances derived from diffuse interstellar lines found in the spectra, all supported our original estimate of the distance.
We now had all the pieces of the jigsaw and Peter and Ben Pope (New York University), with whom I had discussed the nature of Apep with extensively since the discovery, led the way in putting all the bits of the puzzle together. The fundamental problem with the physics at the heart of the system was how to explain the discrepancy between the gas and dust speed, and that became the focus of the research.
We felt emboldened that genuinely new astrophysics was required to explain Apep by a recent 2017 paper by Ryan Lau (Caltech) and his colleagues, who found that the dust plume around another pinwheel system were also misbehaving in a similar fashion. The dust plume in that system seemed entirely stagnant. One possible solution to this puzzle, noted in Ryan's paper, is that maybe the dust is a kind of fossil relic from an earlier evolutionary phase. The dust is just drifting along in its own bubble with the pace determined from a slower past, but will be soon swept up by the new fast wind evident at the heart of the system. While such a "switch-in-state" scenario can naturally explain stagnant dust, Peter showed that Apep's plume, which is slow but still moving, cannot fit with this picture.
Having ruled out two different wind speeds sequential in time, it fell to an insight from Ben to suggest the two winds might co-exist, but instead occupy different regions of space. This immediately opened a new avenue to explore: anisotropic mass loss can produce winds with heterogeneous properties. The physical picture emerging to try to make sense of Apep begins with critical rotation of one of the stars in the system. This enables the star to launch a fast polar wind (explaining the spectroscopic wind speed) and a slow equatorial wind (the kinematics inherited by the dust).
However, if this is truly the mechanism for formation of the plume, the implications were more far-reaching than the physics of winds and dust outflows. Rapid rotation of a massive star near the end of its life has significant implications for the most energetic explosions in the Universe, long-duration gamma-ray bursts. Although the chain of logical steps between the data and the conclusions was long, it seemed that the Apep system had given us a probe into a domain formerly not observable: the rotation state of massive stars.
The publication of the paper from that point on was also a journey, since the paper had to achieve quite a diverse set of goals in a small amount of space. First, we had to detail the discovery of Apep and the physical characteristics we derived. Then we had to explain the wind discrepancy problem and the potential solution to that via critical rotation, and the wide reaching implications of such a solution. That is a long story to fit into a short Nature Astronomy paper, and as such you can see the supplementary material accompanying the main text is a paper in its own right. I owe it to Peter for being able to pull all those various strands into one cohesive story, and providing sagacious leadership in the refereeing process.
This is just the beginning of the story of Apep and what it can tell us about gamma-ray bursts and the way massive stars end their lives. We hope it will become a touchstone object like WR 140, and given its truly exceptional properties, perhaps even a system to rival Eta Carinae in importance. I have no doubt others who take up the challenge of explaining this system will arrive at new insights, or show us how some of the other pieces of the jigsaw pieces can be made to fit. In particular, several problems still remain: how can the X-ray emission stay relatively static over decades but the radio emission show significant variation? What is the exact composition of the inner binary? How can the radio emission be so bright? Are there nested shells of colder dust further out than what we see in the mid-infrared, as predicted by our model? Instruments like ALMA and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), and more detailed theoretical modelling, will be key in solving some of these problems.
The story of the discovery of Apep demonstrates just how fun, but also how convoluted, an exciting discovery in astronomy can be. You can find the paper here.

A veterinary practice on Tasmania's North West has recently reported several confirmed cases of canine parvovirus in the East Devonport, Spreyton and Latrobe areas. Outbreaks of canine parvovirus have previously occurred in Tasmania, and can re-occur in unvaccinated dogs or in dogs where vaccinations have lapsed. As dogs frequently move around the state, this is a general reminder to all dog owners.
Signs of canine parvovirus infection in a dog include watery diarrhoea, vomiting, and general lethargy and dullness. Dogs can become very sick, very quickly with this virus, and some may die from it due to the effects of dehydration.
Canine parvovirus does not distinguish between companion dogs, working dogs or farm dogs and is highly contagious, affecting both puppies and adults.
It does not affect other pet species, and does not pose a threat to human health. The virus can survive in the environment for up to a year and could be present in areas where dogs are walked. The most effective way to protect dogs from canine parvovirus is annual vaccination by a veterinary surgeon.

This is a simple guide to some statues that you probably walk past every single day on your way to and from work, but don't even notice! Sometimes we get so caught up in life that we stop noticing the details and we forget about the history behind beautiful things such as these statues. Enjoy!
The figure featured in this imposing statue depicts Daedalus – a Greek mythical figure who sculpted wings for himself and his son (Icarus) to escape Crete.
The story goes that Daedalus used wax to hold the feathers and Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting the feathers and causing him to drop to his death.
The statue was created by the famous James Butler RA who was also the creator of the Dolphins in Dolphin Square and is there to commemorate those that have fallen on the battlefield.
One of the most intriguing statues in London is the Richard I statue in Parliament Square. The statue commemorates King Richard the Lionheart who spent the majority of his reign fighting in The Crusades.
What makes the statue interesting is that the sword of the statue was bent during the second world war by a falling bomb and has been left that way ever since!
The Boy David is a statue located on Hyde Park Corner and is there to commemorate The Machine Gun Corps. The statue was sculpted in 1919 by Derwent Wood with an inscription of "Saul hath slain his thousands but David his tens of thousands".
The interesting story here is that Derwent Wood, the sculptor of the statue, went on after WWI to make masks for soldiers that had been disfigured during the war.
There is also a bitesize version of the statue on Cheyne Walk.
A relatively recent statue, 'allies' was created by Lawrence Holofcener and was unveiled in 1995.
The statue was unveiled to mark 50 years of peace after WWII.
Roosevelt and Churchill helped to form the United Nations after they had defeated Germany in the war.
Sir John Betjeman was Poet Laureate and lived between 1906 and 1984.
The interesting story behind him is that, when working in Dublin during the 1940s, Sir John Betjeman was reportedly set to become a target of an IRA assassination because they thought he was a spy.
It is alleged that the IRA decided against the attack after they read his poetry.
Perhaps needing no introduction is the Christopher Columbus statue in Belgrave Square.
Columbus was the famed explorer who discovered the new world.
The statue was given to the UK as a present from the people of Spain in 1992 and sits amongst lush greenery.
The Southwark War Memorial was unveiled in 1924 and shows a soldier tramping through mud during WWI.
The statue was the inception of sculptor, Philip Lindsey Clark who went to war during WWI as a captain and won a DSO.
After the war finished, Philip Lindsey Clark went back to study at the Royal Academy.
We hope that you've enjoyed this article and that it gives you some things to look out for while you're out and about in London. Sometimes, just looking around you can really brighten up your day.

Already the main Real Madrid star that had been free of the duty embarrassment that is overwhelming world football, Gareth Bale is presently set to be fined 337,000 euros by the Spanish tax experts for supposedly duping profit from his picture rights.
As indicated by El Mundo, the Welshman utilized an organization in England to abstain from settling regulatory taxes and the Spanish treasury trust that Bale ought to have been charged for his business salary as far back as touching base in Madrid in 2013.
The figure will be comprised of 200,000 euros for financial extortion, 100,000 for the fine, and 37,000 in intrigue.
This is only the most recent case in a Real Madrid footballer being punished by the Spanish expense specialists after Luka Modric, Marcelo, Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos all accomplished comparable issues.
The Frenchman was made to pay around a large portion of a million euros for his activities while the Spaniard was just fined 100,000 euros.
