You might well assume that the malefactors got the death sentence for their audacious crime. Having roughed up the jewel master, they made off with a golden orb, sceptre and St Edward’s Crown.įortunately, the Tower’s guard captured the robbers before they could flee. Blood and his cronies were able to talk their way into the treasure room. The ultimate heist took place in 1671, led by the memorably named Colonel Thomas Blood. One wily band of chancers even broke into the Tower and almost made off with the Crown Jewels. The ladies confused the guards by coming and going - hiding their faces with handkerchiefs - so that the transvestite lord was able to walk out of his cell without raising an eyebrow. The party dressed Nithsdale up in women's clothes, topped his head with an 'artificial headdress' and caked his face in so much make-up that it somehow hid his long beard. Lady Nithsdale paid a visit to his cell, accompanied by two acquaintances called Mrs Mills and Mrs Morgan (not her maid, as is often stated). The Earl of Nithsdale was destined for the axe block for his role in the Jacobite uprising. ![]() ![]() Perhaps the most imaginative escape ruse took place in 1716.

Beachfront or seaside homeowners may want to shop for another material as the salt in the air and water could cause the mechanism to rust prematurely. The metal typically receives a powder-black coating to give it a layer of protection against the outdoor elements, but it may not be a good choice if you live in a location with a lot of corrosive elements. Manufacturers use both cast iron or wrought iron as it has a heavy, stately appearance that looks good against the fencing. Iron is one of the most widely used latch materials and is crafted in a variety of ways including Old World, Antique, Colonial and traditional styles. You’ll find a price difference between each of the substances, and here we’ll give you the pros and cons on iron, aluminum, bronze, stainless and brass designs. The materials they are most commonly crafted from are high-quality metals that do well outdoors and can stand up to the elements. Gate Latch Materialĭurability is an important consideration in your fence latch. These are usually the most cost-effective model, and come in a variety of sizes and materials. They can be added to both in-swinging or out-swinging fences and may be lockable with the addition of a padlock. In terms of installation, this is the simplest and least involved option as it’s a one-sided latch and can only be secured from the inside. ![]() The traditional deadbolt design works by sliding the rod into the securing bolt that then holds the door in place. Boltįor many people, when you picture a way to secure your fence, you picture a bolt latch. Depending on the style and manufacturer you purchase from, installation difficulty can range from straightforward and simple to complex. Just like gravity models, spring-loaded latches are typically used on an in-swinging option, but you can reverse the installation for an out-swinging gate, if needed. These two-way models allow the door to be opened from either side, and there are lockable varieties available. Spring-loaded options will always be two-sided. The spring mechanism works when the latch arm snaps into place by pressure put on the spring that secures the arm. Typically more expensive than a gravity option, spring models provide a smoother action on the handle when you open or close the barrier. Spring-loaded varieties differ from their gravity counterparts because they utilize a spring to facilitate the closing action. Generally, gravity-based designs are an easy do it yourself project to install. However, it’s possible to reverse the installation and put the arm on the street side to use it with an out-swinging door.ĭepending on which gravity model you choose and how many installation modifications you want to make, it can be an easy job or one that requires more time and effort. You’ll need to either remember a combination or carry a key to use this feature.įrom an installation standpoint, double-sided gravity designs are usually used with an in-swinging option. Most designs with locking options will feature a hole where you can insert a padlock. You can look for lockable designs, or add a second deadbolt or slide bolt to the barrier if you want it to be impenetrable. While the option is simple to use, the basic model doesn’t provide much security. On a wooden barricade, you can open it from either side of the door. Gravity based models are always two-sided because the arm must fall into the strike in order to operate. This is an attractive option because it can also be self-latching, meaning that if the door gets captured by the wind and closes, the arm should fall into place on its own without any outside intervention. It works as the barricade is closing using the force of the swing to push the latch arm past the strike plate and allowing the arm to fall into the catch. The latch is named for its operation mechanism, and as such it uses gravity to close the catch. Let’s look closer at the gravity, spring-loaded and bolt options, and discuss how each works. There are three main categories of gate latches you can choose from, defined by how they are designed. Here, we’ll delve into all the details that you need to know to find the type that is the right fit for your access point. ![]() ![]() ![]() Next, it’s important to choose a material that works with your existing fence, and that provides the level of security you desire.įinally, installation and budget are considerations for the project.

As industrial jobs disappeared from the area, the projects housed more poor families than they had initially. By the early 1960′s, these projects had become nearly 100 percent black, as whites moved on to new suburbs outside the central city. During World War II, the city built several large housing projects (including Nickerson Gardens, Jordan Downs and Imperial Courts) for the thousands of new workers in war industries. Watts did not become predominantly black until the 1940′s, as the second Great Migration brought tens of thousands of migrants from Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas who left segregated states in search of better opportunities in California. Schoolroom photos from 19 show only two or three black faces among the 30 or so children pictured. Blacks came in later and many of the men were Pullman car porters and other railroad workers. The city voted to annex itself to Los Angeles in 1926.Īlong with more Caucasian Americans, Mexican and Mexican American railroad workers (“traqueros”) settled in the community. The arrival of the railroad spurred the development of the area and in 1907 Watts was incorporated as a separate city named after the first railroad station built in the town, Watts Station. In those days each Tajuata farm had an artesian well. With the influx of white Americans into Southern California in the 1870′s, La Tajuata land was sold off and subdivided for smaller farms and homes. As on all ranchos, the principle vocation was livestock grazing and beef production. This article was most recently revised and updated by Amy Tikkanen.The area now known as Watts began its modern history after the arrival of Spanish-Mexican settlers, as part of the Rancho La Tajuata, which received its land grant in 1820. A notable local attraction is Watts Towers (now a state historic park and a national historic landmark), a group of 17 bricolage spires constructed from 1921 to 1954 by Italian immigrant Simon Rodia from broken tiles, dishes, rocks, bottles, and seashells the tallest of the towers rises to nearly 100 feet (30 metres). Disorder again marred the district in 1992 when rioting, looting, and arson consumed much of Watts and neighbouring Compton following the acquittal of four white police officers in the beating of African American Rodney King. Before order was restored, 34 people had been killed, nearly 4,000 arrested, and more than 1,000 injured, and hundreds of buildings had been destroyed. Angered by long-standing social injustices, thousands of African Americans rioted, burned stores, and pillaged the area. ![]() The Watts district gained widespread notoriety on August 11–16, 1965, as the scene of racial disturbances. ![]() Watts, a Pasadena realtor who owned a ranch there.

Today he is remembered together with the holy Patriarchs John the Faster (September 2) and Paul the New (eighth century). According to some ancient manuscripts, Saint Alexander ought to be commemorated on June 2. The Service to Saint Alexander was printed in Venice in 1771. Saint Gregory the Theologian (January 25) mentioned him afterwards in an encomium to the people of Constantinople. His Holiness Patriarch Alexander, having toiled much, died in the year 340 at the age of 98. Stopping to take care of a physical necessity, his bowels burst forth and he perished in his own blood and filth, as did Judas (Acts 1:18). In the morning, Arius set out triumphantly for the church, surrounded by imperial counselors and soldiers, but divine judgment overtook him. All night long Saint Alexander prayed, imploring the Lord not to permit this heretic to be received into communion with the Church. When the Emperor asked him if he believed as the Fathers of Nicea taught, he placed his hand upon his breast (where he had cunningly concealed beneath his clothes a document with his own false creed written upon it) and said, “This is what I believe!” Saint Constantine (May 21), unaware of the deceitful wickedness of Arius, set a day for receiving him into the Church. Arius had apparantly agreed to enter into communion with the Orthodox. The heretic Arius was punished through the prayer of Saint Alexander. The faithful rejoiced at this, glorifying God Who had given such power to His saint. When he gestured with signs to acknowledge his errors and affirm the correctness of the Christian teaching, then his speech returned to him and he believed in Christ together with many other pagan philosophers. Once, in a dispute with a pagan philosopher the saint said to him, “In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ I command you to be quiet!” and the pagan suddenly became mute. During these times His Holiness Patriarch Alexander had to contend with the Arians and with pagans. Upon his death, Saint Metrophanes left instructions in his will to elect his vicar to the throne of Constantinople. Saint Alexander (325-340) was a vicar bishop during the time of Saint Metrophanes (June 4), the first Patriarch of Constantinople.īecause of the patriarch’s extreme age, Alexander substituted for him at the First Ecumenical Synod at Nicea (325). In 314 he succeeded Mitrofanis in the Patriarchal throne of Constantinople, and in 325 he was one of the 318 Fathers of the Church who took part in the First Ecumenical Synod of Nicaea to condemn the Supreme Court. On August 30 the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast Day of Agios Alexandros, Patriarch of Constantinople who is known for his virtue.Īlexandros was born in Calabria, Italy, and he was devoted to God from a small child. ![]() ![]() ![]() Many of JetBrains's other IDEs include the feature set of WebStorm via plugins.įor. įor web, JavaScript and TypeScript development.
