It is too easy to tie a water knot, why would you have a pre-sown webbing? The pre-sown reduces the options you have for that strand of webbing; use in patient packaging, rigging or anchor around a continuous object. Both are around the same efficiency, minus ~30% for the knot or sewing. |
The webbing I keep in my gear for a drag strap is also pre-tied with a water knot, but I roll it and keep it in a medical glove to protect it from dirt and water. Pretty handy, you should look into that. |
I have the same webbing in the same configuration and it works well... Would like to point out that from a flexibility perspective both sewn and pre-tied webbing have the same problems. A pre-tied water knot is probably going to be pretty tight and it would be difficult to untie in the heat of the moment. For all intents and purposes it is fixed in place as if it were sewn. |

I would have to agree with the "HeavyRescueTech" and the rest of the guys, its just an easy knot to tie on the fly and its strong.Everyone in my dept is issued about a 20 foot peice of webbing, but we all have different places for our webbing and uses. |
I have a 25' piece, looped with a waterknot, daisy chained and hanging on my Gut-Belt, I have another 20' section that is just rolled (no loop) in my pocket, and another 25' daisy-chained loop in my pocket.... Quote: |
That's a good idea. I think the one I keep in my pocket will get changed to being rolled up and kept in a glove. |

That's a lot of webbing Spidey. I 2nd the water knot and glove idea too. Both work great. |
I like duplicity. Plus I carry the one un-looped so if I need it that way I don't have to un-tie one of the other ones. |
I hadn't thought of that, I'll give it a try. |
Every firefighter should carry a long piece of webbing long enough to make a hasty harness around themselves with gear on. For some this will be the 25' and for some it will need to be longer. Mine is pre-tied with a water knot. I also carry a short 5' piece for tying off hose to a rail, etc. It stays untied. |
I'm a bit late to this party, but this is simply not true. Water knots can and will reduce the strength of webbing by 40-50%. A "Beer Knot" in webbing, which is a more time consuming and complex version of a water knot, will reduce the strength of the webbing by around 20%. Meanwhile, a quick look at specs listed on an online retailer that deals in webbing shows that sewn 1" webbing loops have a strength rating of 22 kN, which essentially equals 5,000 lbs. The same website lists MBS for 1" webbing at 4,000 lbs. |
If you doubt the strength loss I gave you above, you might want to pick up a copy of "On Rope" by Bruce Smith and Allen Padgett. |
All that being said, I would tend to agree a knotted webbing loop lends itself to more applications than a sewn loop. |
Okay, you have a piece of webbing with between a 4000-6000 pound rating and you claim that a water knot reduces the strength by 40-50%. Here's my answer to that, so what? At 2000-3000 pounds where is the deficiency in that for everyday use? I guess I don't see the need for "A "Beer Knot" in webbing, which is a more time consuming and complex version of a water knot, will reduce the strength of the webbing by around 20%." |
You're right. For most of the uses that we have webbing in our bunker gear for, it will be a "so what" situation as far as strength. |
My whole point was to correct the false statement/assumption that I quoted- especially since it was said in such an absolute fashion. I rock climb, so breaking strength and fall factors likely matter a bit more to me than a lot of the forum members |
And I agree about a Beer knot; while it is the strongest knot option I know of, it truly is a PITA to tie and definitely not something you will have the time to tie on the fireground. I mentioned it purely as a comparison. |
We have used 1 inch webbing for "Hasty" harnesses for years with the webbing tied into a loop using the water knot. I guess I just didn't see the drop in strength, when it is far stronger than we would realistically ever need as a problem. Especially when the water knot is so easy to tie. |
I have a 25' piece, looped with a waterknot, daisy chained and hanging on my Gut-Belt, I have another 20' section that is just rolled (no loop) in my pocket, and another 25' daisy-chained loop in my pocket.... Guess that would make you the "Web Master". |
Like that idea as well. |
Exactly whats in my pocket. |

The only rebuttle i can think of to the "so what?" argument is shock loading. I know that on a day to day basis there aren't alot of applications, but thats not what we carry that equipment for right? We carry all that stuff in our pockets for when we really need it, and if you can save 20% in strength, why not? Now having said that, i have all my gear in water knots as well, but the discussion regarding the sewn webbing makes me think... |
I don't know, anyone else out there on the same wavelength, or am I in over my head here? |

You didn't get anything brotha, but maybe the idea that the percentage decrease becomes a little more relevant is something to pay attention to when you use your webbing for something other than hoisting a tool, like an anchor for a rope system. Just something to think about, we should all be open to constantly re-evaluating the way we operate in the fire service. |
I'm a "keeper of each" and I also keep the same length of rope (3 mm or whatever size presuks are normally made from). I find the small rope is much easier to find in dark/smoky conditions and when it's pressed against the ground with gloved hands I can still find it really easy and pick it up. |
Now a rebuttal to my info here can be "well, don't drop you're equipment..." True, but gotta prepare for the inevitable.<eot>Blueberry companion plants? - The Resilience Hub & Portland Maine Permaculture (Portland, ME) |

My experience has been that sweet fern is hard to transplant. David SpahrComptonia (sweet fern) can be propagated easily by root cuttings during late fall/early winter dormancy. Replant two 4" root cuttings in an 'x' in a pot or in ground, and come springtime they'll resprout.I've observed low bush blueberry growing alongside comptonia in wild settings, and those plants just seemed happy together. Comptonia is a valuable plant for it's many uses and role in the landscape, regenerating fertility in harsh or stressed areas. Another one I observe in wild blueberry fields is native aronia bushes-a 'superberry'. A tree layer might be worth considering as well, white pine of course would be a native that pairs well, or the cold hardy nut pines like Korean or others. Maybe alder or willow could be good with the highbush, I see these in similar wettish areas. |

I have wild strawberry, yarrow, clover, vetch, violet, and sweet fern that came in naturally as ground cover in our north patch of low and high bush blueberries, where we also have a couple "viking" aronia, a couple apples and pears with comfrey planted. We planted strawberries (dynamic accumulator of iron which blueberries love, likes acid soil), rhubarb (another great source of iron and makes a great mulch, acid soil tolerant), autumn olive seedlings(for nitrogen fixation and possibly edible berries high in lycopene / perhaps eventual hardy rootstock for goumi, acid soil tolerant), siberian pea shrub (for nitrogen fixation and fodder, acid soil tolerant), sea buckthorn (for nitrogen fixation and edible berries high in fatty acids. likes acidic soil), with a cover crop of peas, vetch, and oats in between as quick growing biomass mulch as companions to the highbush blueberries that we planted in hugel swales which have a few large white pines hangin over them a bit from the north for acid mulch and with a few existing 4"-8" red oaks for eventual partial overstory and because in eastern North America, other members of the Ericaceae family often grow in association with an oak canopy, in a type of ecology known as an oak-heath forest. Also it is worth noting that ericaceous plants like blueberry, azalea, rhododendron, and heathers form associations with ericoid mycorrhizal fungi, and pines, firs, oaks, hazelnut and birch form associations with ectomycorrhizal fungi. So as well as the companion plants you want companion microbes and may want to visit a natural environment in your area where blueberries are thriving and take a handful soil sample from ten or so spots within that area and mix them together and bring them home and brew up some aerated compost tea with it and add it to the transplant hole with granite dust, kelp meal, and some rock phosphate to get the party started. First<eot>Myles Coverdale, first name also spelt Miles (1488 – 20 January 1569), was an English ecclesiastical reformer chiefly known as a Bible translator, preacher and, briefly, Bishop of Exeter (1551-1553).[1] Regarding his probable birth county, Daniell cites John Bale, author of a sixteenth century scriptorium, giving it as Yorkshire.[1][note 1] Having studied philosophy and theology in Cambridge, Coverdale became an Augustinian friar and went to the house of his order, also in Cambridge. In 1514 John Underwood, a suffragan bishop and archdeacon of Norfolk, ordained him priest in Norwich. He was at the house of the Augustinians when in about 1520,[1] Robert Barnes returned from Louvain to become its prior. In 1535 Coverdale produced the first complete printed translation of the Bible into English.[2] His theological development is a paradigm of the progress of the English Reformation from 1530 to 1552. By the time of his death, he had transitioned into an early Puritan, affiliated to Calvin, yet still advocating the teachings of Augustine. |
Coverdale studied at Cambridge, becoming bachelor of canon law in 1513.[1][note 2] He was ordained in Norwich in 1514 and entered the house of the Augustinian friars in Cambridge, where Robert Barnes had returned from Louvain to become its prior. This is thought to have been about 1520-1525.[1] According to Trueman,[3] Barnes returned to Cambridge in the early to mid-1520s.[note 3] At Louvain Barnes had studied under Erasmus and had developed humanist sympathies. In Cambridge, he read aloud to his students from St. Paul's epistles in translation and taught from classical authors.[1] This undoubtedly influenced them towards Reform. In February 1526, Coverdale was part of a group of friars that travelled from Cambridge to London to present the defence of their superior, after Barnes was summoned before Cardinal Wolsey.[1][3] Barnes had been arrested as a heretic after being accused of preaching Lutheran views in St Edward's Church, Cambridge on Christmas Eve. Coverdale is said to have acted as Barnes' secretary during the trial.[4] By the standards of the time, Barnes received relatively lenient treatment, being made to do public penance by carrying a faggot to Paul's Cross.[3] However on 10 June 1539, Parliament passed the Act of Six Articles, marking a turning point in the progress of radical protestantism.[5]:423–424 Barnes was burned at the stake on 30 July 1540, at Smithfield, along with two other reformers. Also executed that day were three Roman Catholics, who were hanged, drawn and quartered.[3] |
Coverdale probably met Thomas Cromwell some time before 1527. A letter survives showing that later, in 1531, he wrote to Cromwell, requesting his guidance on his behaviour and preaching; also stating his need for books.[1] By Lent 1528, he had left the Augustinians and, wearing simple garments, was preaching in Essex against transubstantiation, the worship of images, and the traditional form of confession. At that date, such views were very dangerous, for the future course of the religious revolution that began during the reign of Henry VIII was as yet very uncertain. Reforms, both of the type proposed by the Lollards, and those preached by Luther, were being pursued by a vigorous campaign against heresy.[5]:379–380 Consequently, towards the end of 1528, Coverdale fled from England to the Continent of Europe.[1] |
From 1528 to 1535 Coverdale spent most of his time in continental Europe, mainly in Antwerp. Celia Hughes believes that upon arriving there, he rendered considerable assistance to William Tyndale in his revisions and partial completion of his English versions of the bible.[6]:100[note 4] In 1531, Tyndale spoke to Stephen Vaughan of his poverty and the hardships of exile, although he was relatively safe in the English House in Antwerp, where the inhabitants supposedly enjoyed diplomatic immunity.[7] But in the spring of 1535 a "debauched and villainous young Englishman wanting money" named Henry Phillips insinuated himself into Tyndale's trust. Phillips had gambled away money from his father and had fled abroad. He promised the authorities of the Holy Roman Emperor that he would betray Tyndale for cash. On the morning of 21 May 1535, having arranged for the imperial officers to be ready, Phillips tricked Tyndale into leaving the English House, whereupon he was immediately seized. Tyndale languished in prison throughout the remainder of 1535 and despite attempts to have him released, organised by Cromwell through Thomas Poyntz at the English House, Tyndale was strangled and burned at the stake in October 1536. Meanwhile Coverdale continued his work alone to produce what became the first complete English Bible in print, namely the Coverdale Bible. Not yet proficient in Hebrew or Greek, he used Latin, English and German sources plus the translations of Tyndale himself. |
In 1534 Canterbury Convocation petitioned Henry VIII that the whole Bible might be translated into English. Consequently, in 1535, Coverdale dedicated this complete Bible to the King.[8]:201 After much scholarly debate, it is now considered very probable that the place of printing of the Coverdale Bible was Antwerp.[1][9] The printing was financed by Jacobus van Meteren. The printing of the first edition was finished on 4 October 1535.[note 5] Coverdale based the text in part on Tyndale's translation of the New Testament (following Tyndale's November 1534 Antwerp edition) and of those books which were translated by Tyndale: the Pentateuch, and the book of Jonah. Other Old Testament Books he translated from the German of Luther and others.[note 6] Based on Coverdale's translation of the Book of Psalms in his 1535 bible, his later Psalter has remained in use in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer down to the present day, and is retained with various minor corrections in the 1926 Irish Book of Common Prayer, the 1928 US Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, and the 1962 Canadian Book of Common Prayer, etc .[note 7] |
In 1537 the Matthew Bible was printed, also in Antwerp, at the expense of R. Grafton and E. Whitchurch who issued it in London.[8]:1058 It comprised Tyndale's Pentateuch; a version of Joshua 2 and Chronicles translated from the Hebrew, probably by Tyndale and not previously published; the remainder of the Old Testament from Coverdale; Tyndale's New Testament from 1535. It was dedicated to Henry VIII who licensed it for general reading. "Thomas Matthew" the supposed editor, was an alias for John Rogers. |
The Matthew Bible was theologically controversial.[10] Furthermore it bore evidence of its origin from Tyndale. If Henry VIII had become aware of this, the position of Cromwell and Cranmer would have been precarious. Consequently in 1538 Coverdale was sent to Paris by Cromwell to superintend the printing of the planned "Great Bible".[note 8] François Regnault, who had supplied all English service books from 1519 to 1534, was selected as the printer because his typography was more sumptuous than that available in England.[1] According to Kenyon, the assent of the French king was obtained.[10] In May 1538 printing began. Nevertheless, a coalition of English bishops together with French theologians at the Sorbonne interfered with the operations and the Pope issued an edict that the English Bibles should be burned and the presses stopped. Some completed sheets were seized, but Coverdale rescued others, together with the type, transferring them to London.[note 9] Ultimately, the work was completed in London by Grafton and Whitchurch.[note 10] |
An injunction was issued by Cromwell in September 1538, strengthening an earlier one that had been issued but widely ignored in 1536. This second injunction firmly declared opposition to "pilgrimages, feigned relics, or images, or any such superstitions" whilst correspondingly placing heavy emphasis on scripture as "the very lively word of God". Coverdale’s Great Bible was now almost ready for circulation and the injunction called for the use of "one book of the whole Bible of the largest volume" in every English church.[13][14] However at the time insufficient Great Bibles were actually printed in London so an edition of the Matthew Bible that had been re-edited by Coverdale started to be used.[note 12] The laity were also intended to learn other core items of worship in English, including the Creed, the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments.[5]:406 |
In February 1539, Coverdale was in Newbury communicating with Thomas Cromwell.[15] The printing of the London edition of the Great Bible was in progress.[1] It was finally published in April of the same year.[16] John Winchcombe, son of "Jack O'Newbury", a famous clothier, served as a confidential messenger to Coverdale who was performing an ecclesiastical visitation. Coverdale commended Winchcombe for his true heart towards the King's Highness and in 1540, Henry VIII granted to Winchcombe the manor of Bucklebury, a former demesne of Reading Abbey.[17] Also from Newbury, Coverdale reported to Cromwell via Winchcombe about breaches in the king's laws against papism, sought out churches in the district where the sanctity of Becket was still maintained, and arranged to burn primers and other church books which had not been altered to match the king's proceedings. |
Sometime between 1535 and 1540 (the exact dates being uncertain), separate printings were made of Coverdale's translations into English of the psalms. These first versions of his psalm renditions were based mainly or completely upon his translation of the Book of Psalms in the 1535 Coverdale Bible. |
In the final years of the decade, the conservative clerics, led by Stephen Gardiner, bishop of Winchester, were rapidly recovering their power and influence, opposing Cromwell's policies.[1] On 28 June 1539 the Act of Six Articles became law, ending official tolerance of religious reform. Cromwell was executed on 28 July 1540.[13] This was close to the date of the burning of Coverdale's Augustinian mentor Robert Barnes. Cromwell had protected Coverdale since at least 1527 and the latter was obliged to seek refuge again. |
Edward VI (1547–53) was only 9 years old[18] when he succeeded his father on 28 January 1547. For most of his reign he was being educated, whilst his uncle, Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford, acted as Lord Protector of the Realm and Governor of the King's Person. Immediately upon receiving these appointments he became Duke of Somerset. Coverdale did not immediately return to England, although the prospects looked better for him. Religious policy followed that of the chief ministers and during Edward's reign this moved towards Protestantism. However in March 1548 he wrote to John Calvin that he was now returning, after eight years of exile for his faith. He was well received at the court of the new monarch. He became a royal chaplain in Windsor, and was appointed almoner to the queen dowager, Catherine Parr. |
On 10 June 1549, the Prayer Book Rebellion broke out in Devon and Cornwall. There, Coverdale was directly involved in preaching and pacification attempts.[1] Recognising the continuing unpopularity of the Book of Common Prayer in such areas, the Act of Uniformity had been introduced, making the Latin liturgical rites unlawful from Whitsunday 1549 onward. The west-country rebels complained that the new English liturgy was "but lyke a Christmas game" - men and women should form separate files to receive communion, reminding them of country dancing.[19] The direct spark of rebellion occurred at Sampford Courtenay where, in attempting to enforce the orders, an altercation led to a death, with a proponent of the changes being run through with a pitchfork.[20] Unrest was said also to have been fuelled by several years of increasing social dissatisfaction.[21] Lord John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford was sent by the Lord Protector to put down the rapidly spreading rebellion and Coverdale accompanied him as chaplain.[note 13] The Battle of Sampford Courtenay effectively ended the rebellion by the end of August. However Coverdale remained in Devon for several more months, helping to pacify the people and doing the work that properly belonged to the Bishop of Exeter. The incumbent, John Vesey, was eighty-six, and had not stirred from Sutton Coldfield in Warwickshire, his birthplace and long-term residence. |
Coverdale spent Easter 1551 in Oxford with the Florentine-born Augustinian reformer Peter Martyr Vermigli. At that time, Martyr was Regius Professor of divinity, belonging to Magdalen College.[8]:1267 He had been assisting Cranmer with a revision of the Anglican prayer book.[1] Coverdale attended Martyr's lectures on the Epistle to the Romans and Martyr called him a "a good man who in former years acted as parish minister in Germany" who now "labours greatly in Devon in preaching and explaining the Scriptures". He predicted that Coverdale would become Bishop of Exeter and this took place on 14 August 1551 when John Vesey was ejected from his see.[1] |
Edward VI died of tuberculosis on 6 July 1553.[18] Shortly before, he had attempted to deter a Roman Catholic revival by switching the succession from Mary daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon to Lady Jane Grey. However his settlement of the succession lasted barely a fortnight. After a brief struggle between the opposing factions, Mary was proclaimed Queen of England on 19 July.[note 14] The renewed danger to reformers such as Coverdale was obvious.[1] He was summoned almost immediately to appear before the Privy Council and on 1 September he was placed under house arrest in Exeter.[note 15] On 18 September, he was ejected from his see and Vesey, now ninety and still in Warwickshire, was reinstated. Following an intervention by his brother-in-law, chaplain to the king of Denmark, Coverdale and his wife were permitted to leave for that country. They then went on to Wesel, and finally back to Bergzabern. |
In August 1559, Coverdale and his family returned to London, where they lodged with the Duchess of Suffolk, whom they had known at Wesel.[1] He was appointed as preacher and tutor to her children. He wrote to William Cole in Geneva, saying that the duchess had "like us, the greatest abhorrence of the ceremonies" (meaning the increasing reversion to the use of vestments).[note 16] |
His stance on vestments was one of the reasons why he was not reinstated to his bishopric. However Hughes believes that it is likely that in his own opinion, he felt too elderly to undertake the responsibility properly.[6] From 1564 to 1566, he was rector of St Magnus the Martyr in the City of London near London Bridge. Coverdale’s first wife, Elizabeth, died early in September 1565, and was buried in St Michael Paternoster Royal, City of London, on the 8th. On 7 April 1566 he married his second wife, Katherine, at the same church.[1] After the summer of 1566, when he had resigned his last living at St Magnus, Coverdale became popular in early Puritan circles, because of his quiet but firm stance against ceremonies and elaborate clerical dress.[6] On 20 January 1569, Coverdale died in London and was buried at St Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange. When that church was demolished in 1840 to make way for the new Royal Exchange, his remains were moved to St Magnus, where there is a tablet in his memory on the east wall, close to the altar.[1] T. S. Eliot described these church walls in part 3 of The Waste Land as having the inexplicable splendour of Ionian white and gold. Coverdale left no will and on 23 January 1569 letters of administration were granted to his second wife, Katherine. Daniell says that it appears that he has no living descendants. |
As indicated above, Coverdale was involved with the first four of the above. He was partially responsible for Matthew's Bible.[1][note 17] In addition to those mentioned above, he produced a diglot New Testament in 1538.[6]:101 He was extensively involved with editing and producing the Great Bible. He was also part of the group of "Geneva Exiles" who produced the Geneva Bible[1] - the edition preferred, some ninety-five years later, by Oliver Cromwell's army and his parliamentarians. |
Coverdale's translation of the Psalms (based on Luther's version and the Latin Vulgate) have a particular importance in the history of the English Bible.[23] His translation is still used in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.[8] It is the most familiar translation for many in the Anglican Communion worldwide, particularly those in collegiate and cathedral churches.[24] Many musical settings of the psalms also make use of the Coverdale translation. For example Coverdale's renderings are used in Handel's Messiah, based on the Prayer Book Psalter rather than the King James Bible version. His translation of the Roman Canon is still used in some Anglican and Anglican Use Roman Catholic churches. Less well known is Coverdale’s early involvement in hymn books. Celia Hughes believes that in the days of renewed biblical suppression after 1543, the most important work of Coverdale, apart from his principal Bible translation, was his “Ghostly Psalms and Spiritual Songs” .[6] This she calls “the first English hymn book” and “the only one until the publication of the collection by Sternhold and Hopkins.” (This was more than twenty years later). The undated print probably was done parallel to his Bible translation in 1535.[25] Coverdale’s first three hymns are based on the Latin Veni Creator Spiritus, preceding its other English translations such as that of 1625 by Bishop J. Cosin by more than ninety years.[note 18] However, the majority of the hymns are based on the Protestant hymnbooks from Germany, particularly Johann Walter's settings of Martin Luther's hymns such as Ein feste Burg. Coverdale intended his “godly songs” for “our young men ... and our women spinning at the wheels.” Thus Hughes argues that he realised that for the less-privileged, his scriptural teaching could be learnt and retained more readily by song rather than by direct access to the Bible, which could often be prohibited. However, his hymnbook also ended up on the list of forbidden books in 1539 and only one complete copy of it survives which is today held in The Queen's College, Oxford.[1] Two fragments survived as binding material and are now in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and in the Beinecke Library, Yale. |

^ According to a bronze plaque on the wall of the former York Minster library, he was believed to have been born in York circa 1488. Anon. "Bronze commemorative plaque on wall of former York Minster Library". Retrieved 15 February 2015. However, the exact birth location of York does not appear to be corroborated. An older source (Berkshire History - based on Article of 1903) even suggests his birthplace as Coverdale, a hamlet in North Yorkshire, but neither is this elsewhere substantiated. Daniell says that no details are known of his parentage or early education, so simply Yorkshire is the safest conclusion. |

^ In his dedication to King Henry, Coverdale explains that he has ‘with a clear conscience purely and faithfully translated this out of five sundry interpreters’. Daniell explains that this means Tyndale, Luther, the Vulgate, the Zürich Bible, and Pagninus's Latin translation of the Hebrew. |

1. Bishop of Exeter – The Bishop of Exeter is the Ordinary of the Church of England Diocese of Exeter in the Province of Canterbury. The current incumbent, since 30 April 2014, is Robert Atwell, the incumbent signs his name as his Christian name or forename followed by Exon. abbreviated from the Latin Episcopus Exoniensis. From the first bishop until the sixteenth century the Bishops of Exeter were in communion with the Roman Catholic Church. However, during the Reformation the church in England broke away from the authority of the Pope, since the Reformation, the Bishop and Diocese of Exeter has been part of the Church of England and of the Anglican Communion. The history of Christianity in the South West of England remains to some degree obscure, at a certain point the historical county of Devon formed part of the diocese of Wessex. Lyfing became Bishop of Crediton in 1027 and shortly afterwards became Bishop of Cornwall, werstans successor appears to have been Putta, who was murdered whilst travelling from his see at Tawton to visit the Saxon viceroy Uffa, whose residence was at Crediton. The Diocese of Crediton was created out of the Diocese of Sherborne in 909 to cover the area of Devon, Crediton was chosen as the site for its cathedral possibly due it having been the birthplace of Saint Boniface and the existence of a monastery there. In 1046, Leofric became the Bishop of Crediton, following his appointment he decided that the see should be moved to the larger and more culturally significant and defensible walled town of Exeter. In 1050, King Edward the Confessor authorised that Exeter was to be the seat of the bishop for Devon and Cornwall, thus, Leofric became the last diocesan Bishop of Crediton and the first Bishop of Exeter. At first the Abbey Church of St Mary and St Peter, founded by Athelstan in 932, rebuilt in 1019, etc. finally demolished 1971, the cathedral is dedicated to St Peter. As it now stands, the cathedral is in the decorated style and it was begun by Peter Quinel, continued by Bytton and Stapeldon, and completed, much as it has since remained, by John Grandisson during his long tenure of 42 years. In many respects Exeter cathedral resembles those of France rather than found in England. Its special features are the towers and the choir, containing much early stained glass. There is also a throne, separated from the nave by a choir screen. In a comparison with certain other English cathedrals, it is perhaps disadvantaged by the absence of a tower and a general lack of elevation. The bishops of Exeter, like the population of the diocese, always enjoyed considerable independence. The result was a long and stable line of bishops, leading to active Christian observance in the area, the diocese contained 604 parishes grouped in four archdeaconries, Cornwall, Barnstaple, Exeter, and Totnes. There were Benedictine, Augustinian, Premonstratensian, Franciscan and Dominican religious houses, Vesey, despite his Catholic sympathies, held the see until 1551, when he finally had to resign, and was replaced by the Bible translator Miles Coverdale |
4. St Magnus-the-Martyr – St Magnus the Martyr, London Bridge is a Church of England church and parish within the City of London. It is a Grade I listed building, the rector uses the title Cardinal Rector, being one of three clerics in the Church of England to use the title Cardinal. St Magnus lies on the alignment of London Bridge between the City and Southwark. The ancient parish was united with that of St Margaret, New Fish Street, in 1670 and with that of St Michael, Crooked Lane, the three united parishes retained separate vestries and churchwardens. Parish clerks continue to be appointed for each of the three parishes, St Magnus is the guild church of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers and the Worshipful Company of Plumbers, and the ward church of the Ward of Bridge and Bridge Without. It is also twinned with the Church of the Resurrection in New York City and its prominent location and beauty has prompted many mentions in literature. One biographer of Eliot notes that at first he enjoyed St Magnus aesthetically for its splendour, the church is dedicated to St Magnus the Martyr, earl of Orkney, who died on 16 April in or around 1116. He was executed on the island of Egilsay having been captured during a struggle with his cousin. Magnus had a reputation for piety and gentleness and was canonised in 1135, St. Ronald, the son of Magnuss sister Gunhild Erlendsdotter, became Earl of Orkney in 1136 and in 1137 initiated the construction of St. Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. The story of St. Magnus has been retold in the 20th century in the chamber opera The Martyrdom of St Magnus by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, the identity of the St Magnus referred to in the churchs dedication was only confirmed by the Bishop of London in 1926. Following this decision a patronal festival service was held on 16 April 1926, the 900th anniversary of the death of St Magnus was marked with a Pontifical High Mass and Solemn Pontifical Vespers on 16 April 2016. In the 13th century the patronage was attributed to one of the saints by the name of Magnus who share a feast day on 19 August. For the next century historians followed the suggestion that the church was dedicated to the Roman saint of Cæsarea, added at least two churches with Danish names, Olaf and Magnus. However, there is no evidence to suggest that any of the mediaeval churches in the City of London had a Roman foundation. Nonetheless, these manuscripts may preserve valid evidence of a date of foundation in the 11th century, archaeological evidence suggests that the area of the bridgehead was not occupied from the early 5th century until the early 10th century. Environmental evidence indicates that the area was waste ground during this period, colonised by elder, following Alfred the Greats decision to reoccupy the walled area of London in 886, new harbours were established at Queenhithe and Billingsgate. A bridge was in place by the early 11th century, a factor which would have encouraged the occupation of the bridgehead by craftsmen, a lane connecting Botolphs Wharf and Billingsgate to the rebuilt bridge may have developed by the mid-11th century. The waterfront at this time was a hive of activity, with the construction of embankments sloping down from the wall to the river |

He and his family lived on the land in Anaheim where Disneyland was to be built. Disney purchased his family's land and a neighboring family's land and moved the two family's houses in between Main Street, U.S.A. and Tomorrowland and combined them into the first Disneyland administration building. |
2. Main Street, U.S.A. – Main Street, U. S. A. is the first themed land inside the main entrance of the many Disneyland-style parks run by The Walt Disney Company around the world. Each Main Street, U. S. A. has a station above the entrance. At Disneyland Park, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland, Sleeping Beauty Castle stands in the distance beyond the end of the street, the area near here is referred to as Town Square, most of the day, there are characters available for a meet and greet here. At the Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland, Cinderella Castle stands at the end, Town Square is home to City Hall, in which the Guest Relations office is located. Largely they appear as fictional businesses, and they refer to a hobby or interest that the person honored. Ub Iwerkss window, for example, refers to his prowess with cameras, for Disneylands 50th anniversary, on July 17,2005, a first-story window on each Main Street was unveiled with a dedication to all the cast members who had worked for Disney throughout the years. The streets are paved with resilient asphalt to prevent aching of feet, in July 2015, Disneyland expanded their Main Street U. S. A. with a Main Street Arcade in honor of their 60th anniversary. Inspired by Walt Disneys hometown of Marceline, Missouri, Main Street, according to Harper Goff, who worked on Main Street, U. S. A. with Walt, he showed Walt some photos of his childhood home of Fort Collins, Colorado. Walt liked the look, and so many of the features of the town were incorporated into Main Street, U. S. A. Another significant source of inspiration for the Main Street, U. S. A. concept came from the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village, Walt Disney said, For those of us who remember the carefree time it recreates, Main Street will bring back happy memories. For younger visitors, it is an adventure in turning back the calendar to the days of their grandfathers youth, above the firehouse in Town Square at Disneyland is Walt Disneys personal apartment, fully furnished but off-limits to the public. A lamp is burning in the front window as a tribute to his memory. It is largely decorated for both Halloween and Christmas, there is a 60-foot-tall Christmas tree during Christmas Time, and there is a 16-foot-high Mickey Mouse jack-o-lantern on Halloween Time, with additional pumpkin ears. The Main Street Opera House in Town Square is the oldest building in Disneyland and it formerly served as the parks lumber mill between 1955 and 1961. The cannons that are displayed in the center of the square were used by the French army during the 1800s, the gas lamps that line the street originally came from Baltimore and were bought for $.03 a pound. Partners, sculpted by Blaine Gibson, was added in 1993, during the Halloween season, pumpkin busts for each themed land in the park, except Main Street, are seen around Partners. It is listed as a street in the Orange County Thomas Guide. The Disney Gallery Disneyland Railroad The Disneyland Story presenting Great Moments with Mr and this is most noticeable in the four corners area in the middle of Main Street where each of the four corner buildings represents a different architectural style |
3. Tomorrowland – Tomorrowland is one of the many themed lands featured at all of the Magic Kingdom styled Disney theme parks around the world owned or licensed by The Walt Disney Company. Each version of the land is different and features attractions that depict views of the future. Disneyland Park in Paris includes an area called Discoveryland, which shares some elements with other Tomorrowlands. Walt Disney was known for his futurist views and, through his television programs, Tomorrowland was the realized culmination of his views. In his own words, Tomorrow can be a wonderful age and our scientists today are opening the doors of the Space Age to achievements that will benefit our children and generations to come. The Tomorrowland attractions have been designed to give you an opportunity to participate in adventures that are a living blueprint of our future and it is this movement into the future that has, on occasion, left Tomorrowland mired in the past. Disneylands Tomorrowland is now in its generation, and the Magic Kingdoms Tomorrowland is in its second. The Walt Disney Company has mentioned that it wanted to keep Tomorrowland from becoming Yesterdayland, a vista into a world of wondrous ideas, signifying Mans achievements. A step into the future, with predictions of constructed things to come, Tomorrow offers new frontiers in science, adventure and ideals. The Atomic Age, the challenge of Outer Space and the hope for a peaceful, during the dedication, Walt Disney started speaking, was told that he wasnt yet on air, and then had to restart once the television viewers were watching. The first Tomorrowland opened at Disneyland on July 17,1955, with several of its planned attractions open. The construction of the park was rushed, so Tomorrowland was the last land to be finished and it became something of a corporate showcase, despite Walt Disneys reluctance. Monsanto Company, American Motors, Richfield Oil, and Dutch Boy Paint were some of the companies to open showcases in Tomorrowland in the first few years. Since the park was on a budget, one cost-cutting idea was to reuse the sets of the Nautilus from Disneys 1954 movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as a walkthrough attraction. For the first four years, most of Tomorrowland was generally open space, however, the area gained more attractions as time passed, many of which have since been removed. When Disneyland opened, Tomorrowland represented the future in the year 1986, Tomorrowlands showpiece was the TWA Moonliner, derived from Disneys Man In Space television episodes developed in the 1950s. The Moonliner was the tallest structure in the park at the time, the Moonliner hosted Rocket To The Moon which was a ride to the moon. The entrance showpiece was the clock of the showing the time anywhere on earth |
4. Disneyland Resort – The Disneyland Resort, commonly known as Disneyland, is an entertainment resort in Anaheim, California. The resort was developed by Walt Disney in the 1950s, when it opened to guests on July 17,1955, the property consisted of Disneyland, its 100-acre parking lot, and the Disneyland Hotel, owned and operated by Disneys business partner Jack Wrather. During the expansion, the property was named the Disneyland Resort to encompass the entire complex, the company purchased the Disneyland Hotel from the Wrather Company and the Pan Pacific Hotel from the Tokyu Group. The Pan Pacific Hotel later became Disneys Paradise Pier Hotel, the property saw the addition of Disneys Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, a second theme park, named Disney California Adventure, and the Downtown Disney shopping, dining, and entertainment area. Walt Disneys early concepts for an amusement park called for a Mickey Mouse Park located adjacent to the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, the consultant recommended a remote location near Anaheim, adjacent to the then-under-construction Santa Ana Freeway. The consultant correctly predicted that the location – covered by orange groves at the time – would become the center of Southern California. Since the location was far from Southern California population centers in the 1950s, Disneyland opened on July 17,1955, with a televised press preview event on ABC. Despite the disastrous event, later dubbed Black Sunday, during which several rides broke down and other mishaps occurred, the hotel, which opened three months after the park, enjoyed similar success. To Walt Disneys dismay, the city of Anaheim was lax in restricting their construction, the area surrounding Disneyland became the atmosphere of colorful lights, flashy neon signs, and then-popular Googie architecture that he wanted to avoid. The Anaheim Convention Center was built across the street from Disneylands original parking lot, eventually, Disneyland was boxed in, a factor which would later lead Walt Disney to acquire a significantly larger parcel of land for the construction of Walt Disney World. In the 1990s, Disney decided to turn the theme park into a similar multi-park. In 1991, Disney announced plans to build WestCOT, a park based on Walt Disney Worlds EPCOT Center. Its estimated cost was US$3 billion, largely due to the high cost of land that Disney would have needed to acquire. With the new Euro Disney Resort, which opened in 1992, becoming a financial and public relations albatross for the company, Disney was unable to finance the project, $1.4 billion was budgeted to build the park, a retail district, and hotels. Construction began in 1998, with much of the property being a construction site until 2001, the original park remained largely untouched during this time. Temporary surface parking lots were set up across West Street with tram service to the entrance to offset the loss of the 100-acre parking lot. Parking lots were set up on smaller parcels of acquired land Disney east and southeast of the park, primarily used for employee parking. Several Disneyland landmarks were demolished, notably the marquee on Harbor Boulevard, also demolished were the Disneyland Hotels original buildings from 1955, as well as most of the facilities outside of the three guest room towers |
9. SRI International – SRI International is an American nonprofit research institute headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The trustees of Stanford University established SRI in 1946 as a center of innovation to support development in the region. The organization was founded as the Stanford Research Institute, SRI formally separated from Stanford University in 1970 and became known as SRI International in 1977. SRI describes its mission as creating world-changing solutions to make people safer, healthier and it performs client-sponsored research and development for government agencies, commercial businesses, and private foundations. It also licenses its technologies, forms strategic partnerships, sells products, SRIs annual revenue in 2014 was approximately $540 million. SRIs headquarters are located near the Stanford University campus, jeffrey has served as SRIs president and CEO since September 2014. Sarnoff Corporation, an owned subsidiary of SRI since 1988, was fully integrated into SRI in January 2011. SRI has received more than 4,000 patents and patent applications worldwide, in the 1920s, Stanford University professor Robert E. Swain proposed creating a research institute in the Western United States. Herbert Hoover, then a trustee of Stanford University, was also a proponent of an institute. The development of the institute was delayed by the Great Depression in the 1930s and World War II in the 1940s, with three separate attempts leading to its formation in 1946. In August 1945, Maurice Nelles, Morlan A. Visel, a second attempt was made by Henry T. Heald, then president of the Illinois Institute of Technology. In 1945, Heald wrote a report recommending a research institute on the West Coast, a third attempt was made by Fred Terman, Stanford Universitys dean of engineering. Termans proposal followed Healds, but focused on faculty and student research more than contract research, the trustees of Stanford University voted to create the organization in 1946. It was structured so that its goals were aligned with the charter of the university—to advance scientific knowledge and to benefit the public at large, not just the students of Stanford University. The trustees were named as the general members, and elected SRIs directors, if the organization were dissolved. Research chemist William F. Talbot became the first director of the institute and this and other issues, including frustration with Tresidders micromanagement of the new organization, caused Talbot to repeatedly offer his resignation, which Tresidder eventually accepted. Talbot was replaced by Jesse Hobson, who had led the Armour Research Foundation. SRIs first research project investigated whether the plant could be used as a source of natural rubber |

It rained the first 24 hours and the second day has been absolutely beautiful and sunny in Rockport Maine. While out on the water we came across this lovely cormorant. Wait a minute I thought these fish eating birds were from Africa! |
In Kenya you’d be lucky to get within a few hundred meters of a Cormorant. Well, I got to touch this fellow who was sitting on a rubber dingy in Rockport Harbour, Maine. |
Getting this close to the bird was amazing – it has super blue eyes and fleas all over it’s feathers! |
No wonder it was feeling poorly and keep grooming itself. Well it only too a few moments to call in the “bird lady” as the Harbor Mistress called her and he bird was rescued. |
