July 1. Soon after arriving here it opened an enfilading fire on the Union forces near the Chambersburg Pike causing some to seek shelter in the railroad cuts. Their guns replied slowly but not without inflicting some losses on the Battery in its exposed position. Later in the day it moved to the foot of the ridge to aid Doles’ Brigade in repelling the Eleventh Corps and rendered effective service. When the fight ended by the withdrawal of the First Corps it pursued the Union forces to the edge of the town.

13th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment
Colonel Samuel Haven Leonard of Boston commanded the 13th Massachusetts Infantry at the Battle of Gettysburg. He was wounded on July 1, and Lieutenant Colonel Nathaniel W. Batchelder then took command. The regiment brought 284 men to the field.
The 13th Massachusetts suffered heavily on the northern edge of Seminary Ridge near Mummasburg Road. After an hour of heavy fighting a successful bayonet charge captured over 130 Confederates. But it took the regiment dangerously far from their lines and cost them dearly as they fought their way back. Then the collapse of the Union defensive line forced the 13th into a dangerous retreat south along the eastern edge of Seminary Ridge and back through the streets of the town. It lost 7 men killed, 77 wounded and 101 missing. Only 99 men reformed on Cemetery Hill that evening.

This MOC is a recreation of a trireme used by the Roman Republic in the Punic Wars (264 - 146 BC). The trireme is a heavy warship used by the ancient Mediterranean civilizations. It has three rows of rowers (this is the meaning of “trireme”), and it has a bronze ram in the front for crashing into enemy ships. The Romans added a bridge (corvus) to the ship, which they dropped onto enemy ships for boarding.
62 rowers fit inside the ship and there are 80 minifigs in total. The ship can be opened to access the rowers inside.
The ballista and corvus actually work.
I used stickers on the shields, which I drew digitally and printed on sticker sheets.

We are excited to share our installation at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science’s latest permanent exhibit, Hall of Ancient Life. As the most recently installed piece of the museum’s Walk Through Time, the exhibit encourages visitors to explore evolution before the dinosaurs, with a focus on the natural history of what is now the state of New Mexico.

O Mausoléu de Mohammed V ergue-se na esplanada da Torre Hassan, em Rabat, capital de Marrocos, no mesmo recinto histórico onde permanecem inacabadas as colunas e o minarete da mesquita almóada iniciada pelo califa Yaqub al-Mansur no final do século XII. A construção do mausoléu decorreu entre 1961 e 1971, sob projeto do arquiteto vietnamita Eric Vo Toan, por iniciativa do rei Hassan II, em memória de seu pai, Mohammed V, artífice da independência marroquina em 1956. O edifício alberga igualmente os túmulos do próprio Hassan II e do príncipe Moulay Abdallah. A fachada principal é revestida a mármore branco italiano, coroada por merlões escalonados de inspiração magrebina e marcada por arcos polilobados esculpidos em estuque, afins da tradição hispano-mourisca. O gradeamento em ferro forjado azul, com motivos geométricos entrelaçados, e os candeeiros de bronze reforçam o vocabulário decorativo alauita. O conjunto foi integrado na série “Rabat, capital moderna e cidade histórica: um património partilhado”, inscrita na lista do Património Mundial da UNESCO em 2012.
The Mausoleum of Mohammed V stands on the esplanade of the Hassan Tower in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, within the same historic complex where the columns and minaret of the Almohad mosque—begun by Caliph Yaqub al-Mansur in the late 12th century—remain unfinished. Construction of the mausoleum took place between 1961 and 1971, based on a design by Vietnamese architect Eric Vo Toan, at the initiative of King Hassan II, in memory of his father, Mohammed V, the architect of Moroccan independence in 1956. The building also houses the tombs of Hassan II himself and Prince Moulay Abdallah. The main façade is clad in white Italian marble, crowned by staggered merlons inspired by Maghreb architecture and marked by polylobed arches sculpted in stucco, in keeping with the Hispano-Moorish tradition. The blue wrought-iron railing, featuring intertwined geometric motifs, and the bronze lamps reinforce the Alawite decorative style. The complex was included in the series “Rabat, Modern Capital and Historic City: A Shared Heritage,” inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012.
