December 17, 2019 // Franchising.com // Jacksonville, FL. - Paul Davis Restoration, a leading provider of fire, water and mold damage emergency and restoration services for residential and commercial properties, offers the following tips to help make the holidays safe. Winter is the most prevalent season for house fires and knowing the facts and implementing safety tips can make this time of year and the holidays more enjoyable and safer for friends and family. Additionally, Thanksgiving can signal the start of a peak time for home fires due to cooking accidents, electrical failures, dry trees, space heaters, fireplaces, candles, fireworks, and holiday lights, plus residents and visitors who choose to smoke in the home, to name a few.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA.org), home fires can occur during the holidays more than any other season. Festive celebrations, flickering lights and winter greens present fire risks which may quickly turn the celebratory time of year into a devastating one.

Current statistics indicate that U.S. fire departments responded to an average 160 home fires that started with Christmas trees per year. These fires caused an average of three deaths, 15 injuries, and $10 million in direct property damage annually. Also, more than one-third or approximately 37 percent of home Christmas tree fires start in the living room, family room, or den. The top three days for home candle fires are Christmas, New Years Day and New Year's Eve.

PRESIDENT Paula-Mae Weekes said she was aware of a public dialogue on the cost of restoring Presidents House but said the improvements lift national pride and have tangible benefits.

On Tuesday night she hosted guests for the reopening of the historic house, which had been out of service since its roof collapsed weeks before the 2010 general election.Weekes confided that last June she had hosted the Ghanaian President, but in a cramped and inappropriate setting. No suitable venue was available to host a dinner for her visitor, she lamented.Recalling her visit to Jamaicas Governor General, she quipped, My brown eyes turned green with envy at his stately, colonial home.She thanked the Government for returning President's House to a state befitting the dignity and status of the office of President.

It is an occasion for celebration.

She led guests in a toast to the renovated edifice, "the 21 century edition of President's House."I wish you a season filled with all good things.The Prime Minister earlier told guests he is not often overwhelmed but was now.

This edifice is TT at its best, he said.

He thanked the President for her co-operation in the repairs. He saluted the architects, managers, labours and everyone else involved in the work.

Dr Rowley admitted that initially the repairs had seemed daunting and had faced slight delays. But now, he said, Once restored, it had restored the missing jewel in the crown. This is the largest jewel in the crown apparently referring to the other historic buildings around Queens Park Savannah. I hope you feel the same sense of pride I do. After years we are able to do business at the house of the President.

It could not have come at a better time. Merry Christmas.Tourism Minister Randall Mitchell told Newsday the restoration would attract many tourists.

A very large cruise ship is coming to TT on Christmas Day, and there are walking tours.

Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley greets President Paula Mae Weekes.

Saying tourists like to visit the Savannahs historic buildings, he said the Government has done great renovations to Stollmeyers Castle and Whitehall, with work now under way on Mille Fleurs.

And now the jewel in the crown is Presidents House. This abuts on the Botanical Gardens, a favourite with tourists. It is marvellous and only improves our tourism product and boosts national pride.

Mitchell said Presidents house tells the story of TT and so helps visitors get to know the country.

Im proud. Im proud to be a member of this government, which takes national pride and heritage with the seriousness it deserves and gets things completed.

Restoration works continue at the Red House on Abercromby Street, Port of Spain on November 20. - Jeff Mayers

HOUSE Speaker Bridgid Annisette-George said the Red House restoration is scheduled to be completed this month and Parliament will complete its move to the location in January.

She was speaking at the opening of the sitting of the House on Monday.

"The Red House is the home of TT's Parliament and the seat of democracy."

She recalled that this "monumental and historic" building required urgent restoration and in 2011 a decision was made to temporarily relocate both Houses of Parliament and all auxiliary facilities to the current location at Tower D, International Waterfront Centre, Port of Spain.

She said the House had been informed that restoration and refurbishment of the Red House and the adjacent Cabildo Parliament Complex would be completed by December 31, 2019.

"This means that over the next six weeks the process of relocating the Parliament of TT, its auxiliary facilities and staff from Tower D to the Red House and the adjacent Cabildo Parliament Complex will take place."

Annisette-George said this "arduous task" will require all of Parliament's resources, particularly its staff, to ensure a smooth transition. She stressed that the relocation will result in a temporary disruption of the auxiliary services usually at members' disposal. She reported that sittings of both Houses and committee meetings will stand adjourned and administrative services may become temporarily unavailable during the transition period.

She said it is anticipated the move and the resumption of all services should be completed by January 20, 2020. She expressed the House's heartfelt appreciation to the Clerk of the House, the acting Clerk of the Senate and the Parliament staff for sacrificing their holiday season to complete the relocation project. Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi later reiterated that after the building is vacated it will be used for civil courts.

The Red House restoration was done by Udecott and cost approximately $441 million.

Speaker: Parliament in Red House by January - Trinidad News

Parliament will make its long-awaited return to its home at the restored Red House by January 20, 2020.

House Speaker Brigid Annisette-George made the announcement as she gave an update on the relocation of the Parliament.

Parliament has been housed at Tower D at the Waterfront Complex since 2011 while restoration works were carried out at the historic Red House.

During Mondays sitting of the Parliament, Annisette-George said full restoration works on the Red House and Cabildo Parliament Complex are scheduled to be completed by December 31.

She said it would take six weeks to relocate the Parliament, auxiliary facilities and staff.

This would result in a temporary disruption of some auxiliary and administrative services, while some sittings of both the Upper and Lower Houses and some committees would stand adjourned during this transition period.

The House Speaker advised, however, that the move and the resumption of services would be completed by January 20, 2020.

Annisette-George assured that the Clerk of the House will make every effort to keep the members of the Parliament up to date on all developments concerning the move.

She extended thanks to the Parliament staff and the Clerks of both the Upper and Lower houses who will have to work through the Christmas season to ensure that the relocation remains on schedule.

The spectacular stained glass at Sherborne Abbey is only part of what makes this building one of the grandest in England, as John Goodall explains.

Every Tuesday afternoon, we delve into the Country Life archives to find something special from the magazines illustrious past.This week, we look back at the 2013 Christmas special issue, in which our architecture editor John Goodall explained the history of Sherborne Abbey.

In 705, Sherborne had been chosen by King Ine as the seat of a vast bishopric that extended across the modern counties of Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Berkshire. From 909, the see underwent the first of several transformations when it was subdivided by the foundation of a cathedral at Wells, wrote John.

Under its founding bishop, St Aldhelm, Sherborne was served by a community of priests or canons, but, in about 990, one of his successors, Wulfsin (or Wulfsige), re-formed the community as a Benedictine monastery. Soon after Wulfsins death in 1001, miracles were reported at his tomb and Bishop Aelfwold (104558) created a great new church as an appropriate setting for his predecessors relics.

That church was re-developed byBishop Roger (110339),Justiciar of England and Chancellor of Henry I, who was clearly impressed by what was there before. There could be no more powerful testimony to the grandeur of the Anglo-Saxon church than the fact that Roger did not raze it to the ground (the usual approach of Norman rebuilders), wrote John.

The full article explains more of the machinations following the buildings history, from the day in 1437 when it was burnt down by local residents and how it survived the Dissolution. On this page, however, were focusing on what it looks like inside as it stands today a story which John expanded upon in the final section of his piece:

In its present form, the interior was shaped by a series of restoration campaigns launched in 1848 and absorbing an estimated 36,000 over the subsequent 40 years. A fundraising campaign instigated by the vicar, Rev John Parsons, and supported by the enormously rich Earl Digby permitted the restoration of the nave and transepts under the direction of R. C. Carpenter.

Earl Digby died in 1856, but, the choir was restored in his memory by W. Slater, a pupil and partner of Carpenter, at the expense of his nephew and heir George Digby Wingfield-Baker. This project culminated in the creation of a spectacular decorative scheme that includes a cycle of stained glass by Clayton and Bell: a Passion cycle in the east window and a huge array of saints, bishops and kings in the clerestorey windows.

Across the walls and vault extends a complex scheme of painted decoration executed by J. G. Crace. Laid before the high altar are three memorial brasses made by Waller of London, one to the Earl and two to his distant forebears. Finally, in 188485, the tower was again restored.

Further changes have followed in the 20th century. The medieval Lady Chapel fell out of use at the Dissolution and was partly rebuilt as a war memorial in 1921 by W. D. Care. More recently, another major restoration campaign was brought to successful completion in 1983.

Among its modern curiosities, Sherborne has the heaviest eightbell peel in the world and includes one recast bell reputedly given by Cardinal Wolsey. Its inscription runs: By Wolseys gift I measure time for all/To mirth, to grief, to church I serve to call.

There is also a fire bell dated 1653: Lord quench the furious flame/aris, run, help put out the same. In the light of history, the legend could be read as a collective pledge of the parishioners to cherish the abbey as they clearly do and not to burn it down again.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - It's a development planned to help women in need. However, some folks fighting against new neighbors will have to wait a little bit longer for the answer.

It's a proposed development for single mothers in the north part of the metro near the Oklahoma CityEdmond line. After an hours-long meeting Thursday afternoon, the Planning Commission delayed their vote.

Community members on both sides of the argument presented to the commission why their opinion was best for the community.

Members with the nonprofit charity Beautiful Restoration agreed to amend some of their plans, but residents living in the Rush Brook community say that's not enough.

A big crowd showed up for the fight over tiny homes. The issue at stake, a 16-acre development to temporarily house single mothers while they work to get back on their feet. But people living near the Danforth and Western property complained about the type of clientele who might be staying at those homes, worrying it will decrease their property value.

That is what Rush Brook is. It is a dynamite neighborhood. Everybody is sweet to everybody, everybody helps, everybody takes care of everybody. It is wonderful. This is destroying our neighborhood, said one person.

The meeting became a back and forth between the applicants attorney and concerned neighbors.

Officials with Beautiful Restoration agreed to not host any outdoor events at the former Governor's Mansion on property, downsizing retail space and moving the intended parking lot away from the already existing homes.

But neighbors in the North Oklahoma CityEdmond area say they still don't support it.

I think undeniably there is better ways we could be using this property if we took away everything they proposed and just had the tiny homes left. I don't see how that is best use, and I don`t see how we are going to come to an agreeance on anything else. I think the property in itself, better tax dollars is better spent in other ways, said another neighbor.

The planning commission fought back, saying it is not their responsibility to decide who can or cannot live somewhere. They voted to hear another round of arguments early into the new year.

I am sorry. I get it. We understand the concern about property values. We understand the concern about safety. We get it. I promise we get it. But we don`t need to talk about the occupants anymore, it is not something we need to talk about, said the Planning Commission chairman.

This meeting will continue January 23. The planning commission will decide then if they plan to present it to the City Council for a final vote.

Anthony Livingston, the gentleman who built the house, mortally wounded a man over a legal dispute one night on the streets of Hudson. Although he was jailed, the judge dropped the charges but Livingston left town anyway. Since then six more owners have lived happily in this historic, Hudson River home.
