AHP also specialises in ecclesiastical work, most recently working with English Heritage and various dioceses in the Taking Stock programme, which seeks to identify the significance of church buildings and provide guidance relating to continued or alternative use. The practice also advises commercial and private owners in cases of listed building and conservation area consent. The buildings AHP works on are usually listed or in conservation areas. All AHP staff have expertise in researching, analysing and writing about historic buildings. All of AHP's directors are professionals who have spent considerable time working for English Heritage as Historic Buildings Inspectors. Give examples of up to three projects you have undertaken 1. Conservation statement, Lambeth Palace, London. Private client: Richard Griffiths Architects, the See HouseAgent responsible for the building's fabric. Investigation and written report about the complex of buildings which make up the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The report covers the history and development of the buildings; their architectural and historical significance; and issues and vulnerabilities relating to their use. The Palace was acquired by the archbishopric around 1200 and its buildings are a patchwork of historic architecture, from the oldest building - the medieval Early English Chapel - to early Victorian additions by Edward Blore. 2. Historical report and significance assessment, Daily Express Building, Manchester. Private client: the building's managing agents. Investigation and written report about the history of the Daily Express building, a unique example of a 1930s, Modernist curtain-walled building in Manchester. Constructed in phases between 1936 and 1939, its architect was Sir Owen Williams. As well as researching its history and development, AHP also expertly assessed the architectural and historical significance of this grade II* listed building. 3. Taking Stock: Roman Catholic Churches in England Public client: English Heritage. A series of reviews, jointly funded by EH and the relevant dioceses, identifying the significance and sensitivity to change of RC parish churches. Since 2005 AHP has completed reviews of 14 of the 21 RC dioceses in England. The reports assess the listed status or listability of these buildings, generally underrepresented in the statutory lists, as well as their sensitivity to change, both in the context of continued use or in the event of closure. The reviews are proving to be an invaluable management tool, both at local and at diocesan/regional levels.

Part of a broader Colonial Revival Movement embracing Georgian and Neoclassical styles, it seeks to revive elements of architectural style, garden design, and interior design of American colonial architecture. (There may have been more than one such movement over the decades, each with the goal of reviving Georgian/Neoclassical architecture.) The Centennial Exhibition of 1876 reawakened Americans to their colonial past. This movement gained momentum in the 1890s and was accelerated by the early 20th century advent of the automobile, which allowed ordinary Americans to visit sites connected with their heritage more easily than was possible than when travelling by rail. History [edit] Successive waves of revivals of British colonial architecture have swept the United States since 1876. In the 19th century, Colonial Revival took a formal style. Public interest in the Colonial Revival style in the early 20th century helped popularize books and atmospheric photographs of Wallace Nutting showing scenes of New England. Historical attractions such as Colonial Williamsburg helped broaden exposure in the 1930s. In the post-WWII era, Colonial design elements were merged with the then popular ranch-style house design. In the early part of the 21st century, certain regions of the United States embraced aspects of Anglo-Caribbean and British Empire styles. Defining characteristics [edit] Colonial Revival sought to follow American colonial architecture of the period around the Revolutionary War, which drew strongly from Georgian architecture of Great Britain. Structures are typically two stories with the ridge pole running parallel to the street, have a symmetrical front facade with an accented doorway, and evenly spaced windows on either side of it. Features borrowed from colonial period houses of the early 19th century include elaborate front doors, often with decorative crown pediments, fanlights, and sidelights, symmetrical windows flanking the front entrance, often in pairs or threes, and columned porches.

Whether you already live in one of these popular styles or you are looking for a new abode, look at a few of the most popular iconic American home design styles. While we can’t represent every home design style, we’d love to hear which ones you would add to the list! Colonial Style: When America was founded with its original 13 colonies the design style of many homes was termed ‘Colonial’ and now ‘Colonial Revival’ is a well sought after architecture style. On the exterior, the classic colonnade porches and symmetrical details are borrowed from the British detailing of the early 18th century, when immigrants decorated their own homes. Two-story homes are characteristic of this style and rooms are spacious and the floor plans are rectilinear with rooms centering off of a main hallway and foyer/grand stairwell. Detailed woodworking in your moldings, chair rails, built-ins, banister stairwells and flooring are all common characteristics of this nostalgic Colonial design style. Tudor Style: Tudor style homes are popular in older neighborhoods throughout the United States and are characterized by the highly steeped rooflines, and half timbering facades. The early 19th century brought the Tudor style to America and is reminiscent from European medieval homes in England. If you have a Tudor style home you probably love it for its storybook feeling. Dormer windows, bedrooms that have plenty of light, and old world styling in wood detailing are symbolic for these details. If you’d like a Tudor style to your current home try adding board and batten details at your front door, mix exterior materials for exterior cladding and consider adding stonework, wood, and stucco for a true Tudor style home. Victorian Style The Victorian Style of architecture is also borrowed from English architecture and has similar characteristics of the Tudor style. High pitched roof slopes and dormer window near the roof are common. Victorian styles borrows many French inspiring details around the windows, doors, and have ornate details and attention to detail in every part of these classic style homes. A turret, projecting bay windows, towers, and stories of windows that look out over wrap around porches and balconies are gorgeous. If you have a Victorian style home you probably love the patterned shingles, colorful exterior color palette and all the elaborate architectural details of this classic home. Log Cabin/Rustic Style: Modern log cabins and the rustic style of living have come a long way from their origins of being comprised of heavy timber construction. While early log cabins were predominantly located in mountainous American rural areas, today modern log cabins are becoming a popular staple on ranches and country estates as well as in the mountains. The sturdy built homes are known for their rustic appeal of wood species such as red cedar, bald cypress, and white pine timber woods. The interiors boast panoramic window views of the outdoors and can be in a single or multi-story floor plan layouts. Log cabins were once modest dwellings but now are featured amongst some of the most expensive homes in America. Many of these homes can be custom built to suit any homeowner’s needs from choice of timber, luxury finishes and top of the line amenities. Ranch Style: One of the most recognizable architectural styles of Americana is the Ranch style home. This style home became popular in the early 20th century and was representative of suburbia American living where families escaped the city life of working all day to come home to a yard and horizontal-designed floor plans that rambled along their property. Ranch style homes can borrow architectural styles from the Craftsman bungalows to Prairie style homes with their large overhanging and low slope rooflines. The interiors gave way to the now popular “great-room” floor plan concept – where clearly defined rooms were not as important as entertaining and combining living, kitchen and family areas took priority. If you live in a Ranch style home you probably enjoy panoramic views and sliding glass doors looking out over your backyard. The Ranch style home is still an iconic representation of suburban American living at its finest. There are so many other iconic architectural styles that have led the United States to have diverse living styles for every homeowner. Urban cities love their brownstone and urban loft living, while the American farmhouse style has made farm living a popular and nostalgic architectural style as well. We’d love to hear what styles you would add to our Freshome list.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Roman Architecture]]></category> <link>http://www.sffireapp.org/RomanArchitecture/popular-architectural-styles</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.sffireapp.org/RomanArchitecture/popular-architectural-styles</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 22 Aug 2018 21:13:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Greek Revival characteristics</title> <description>Looking for that historic house that reminds you of an antebellum plantation in the South?

You know the one. It’s large and imposing, with thick white columns that flank the front entrance and support a porch that spans the width of the house. Imagine Scarlet O’Hara from Gone With the Wind inside the parlor. She’s sewing her green gown from those heavy velvet curtains. If you like this imagery, then you may like what’s known as Greek revival. It’s an international style that first appeared in the 1820s and really flourished in America during the 1830s and '40s. At the time, America was looking to ancient Greece for inspiration. Not just in its architecture, but in its philosophy, the arts and science, as well. Think about it - this was the beginning of the American democracy. Independence from British rule had been fought for and won. The country was expanding in population and land. And Greece was in the midst of its own revolution. When news spread that archaeologists had dug up signs of ancient life in the Greek isles, Americans wanted to know more. It made sense to mimic what we admired. So we borrowed names from Greek literature and attached them to towns sprouting up all over, from Georgia to Maine and throughout the Midwest: Athens, Ithaca, Sparta. The architects of the day traveled to Greece and brought back with them detailed drawings from the ruins so we could more closely match antiquity. As home buyers today look for their own historic Greek revival homes to buy and renovate, they may note a common architectural detail: These palatial homes were often modeled after the Parthenon. Key Elements Tall columns and pediments. The ancient Greek temple model, with its row of tall columns and pediments, includes two of the most obvious characteristics of this style of historic home design. Painted plaster exterior. Although the buildings and ruins in Greece were all made of stone, American homes of this style were not. They were instead crafted in wood and covered in plaster, then painted in white to create the illusion of stone. Horizontal transom. It sits over the front door, instead of a fanlight like the earlier Federal period homes. Moldings. Bold but simple moldings, throughout the interior and exterior of the house, also exemplify the look of high-style Greek revival. Embellishment. Expensive homes might add more detail, like framed dormer windows on the second story, with pilasters and pediments. The less wealthy adopted similar features but with less flash. Famous Examples Andalusia. This famous example, designed by Thomas U. Walter, is near Philadelphia. It is one of the most widely noted Greek revival houses in the country. Plantation homes along the Gulf Coast. These fine examples of the Greek revival might be made of flashboards instead of clapboards. Flashboards have a tongue and groove fit, and seams don’t show. They paint into a nice smooth finish - again, like stone. Practically Speaking: Hassles and Headaches Their low-pitched roofs can cause problems and require regular repairs to prevent leaking. The wooden columns also can cause problems for the homeowner if the bottoms rot out. To preserve the column, you don’t tear out the whole piece - you have to cut away the rotted parts and replace them. Your best bet is to find a skilled craftsman who specializes in historic reconstruction. Corner boards on these homes can also be a challenging dry-rot fix to repair. You’ll never find a 150-year-old corner board in stock at the local lumber yard. You’ll have to customize. Overall, the hand-carved detail common in Greek revival homes requires routine maintenance, even if it’s just a regular paint job to protect the wood. Don’t buy one unless you know you can do it yourself or have the resources to hire out. Even so, if your lifestyle includes entertaining guests, if you are naturally drawn to a formality and detail in design, if you’d name your house Tara - and if you don’t mind the maintenance - then a Greek revival home might best suit your taste.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[House Styles]]></category> <link>http://www.sffireapp.org/HouseStyles/greek-revival-characteristics</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.sffireapp.org/HouseStyles/greek-revival-characteristics</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 18 Aug 2018 21:00:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>I House Architecture</title> <description>From the architect.

The house is located not too deep in a rather quiet lane on the outskirts of Saigon. Like many houses in Vietnam, it has constantly exposed to the bustling surroundings as dust, heat, noise etc. Because of these factors, the house owner (also active in designing industry) pretty much sharing with us in a decision to make the more active space would be inward - "introverted" to build the core with buffer spaces of green trees. In other words, the open space is the highest priority in the designing process for the family's generations to interact with each other. The specific criteria for the house are laid out as: Open space but "introverted"; simple, rustic but delicate. Give priority to natural lighting and ventilation. Reduce the dependence on and maximum savings of artificial energy. Borrow light and shadow for decoration, make the most of cool air, but must control heat, noise and ensure security for the house. Respect the owner's living culture and lifestyle. Use environmental-friendly materials. Utilize local-unique materials to reduce investment costs and preserve the regional impression and identity. There's a small space to be the owner's home office. With this design task, we proposed the "double-skin house" approach. The outer skin (or layer) is the "wall" built up by hollow concrete bricks of 30x30cm to let the wind, sunlight and rain in the house, while ensuring security. Behind the first "clothing" are spaces interspersed with green trees, to filter dust and reduce heat, noise in the house and bring a close, natural setting for the home. Next is the inner skin with large glass panels open in full range, the owner can enjoy intimate touch to all natural scenery outside. However, the most special matter in design is not in the "double-skin house" plan but a small garden in the middle of the house, where all spatial separation is abolished that let all members of family gather and dispel tiredness every day after work. A small space with playground, garden, minimalist wooden stairs and iron, all soaked under the natural light could really create the heart of the home. Here, the architect team created a space for all generations can communicate with each other, from the swing for small children, the garden for grandparents to relax and take care of trees, to where parents can display their cooking skills. The puzzle of "open but introverted space" was excellently solved. The solution to take light and wind from the functional spaces such as buffer garden, mobile glass roof, ventilating concrete walls enabled the house to be imbued with sunlight, natural cool air and above all, all the rooms have two sides exposed to natural light. The design team's delicate calculations is shown in each period: during noon, the sunlight directly shine to the garden, the remaining spaces take light reflected through the concrete wall; in the afternoon, light filters through ventilating brick walls and create depth through shadow by materials on the floor and wall. The principle of convection and direct ventilation was also strictly applied, helping the indoor space get natural wind. Thus, the light - ventilation issue was resolved to give the owner a home that is close and friendly with the environment and nature. "You know, it is life that is right and the architect who is wrong" (Le Corbusier), the architect cannot challenge the homeowner's lifestyle and living habits. The homeowners want to move the used furniture from the old house to the new house... Of course, it will be difficult to color similarities with the overall house if not somewhat "messy", however, the architect always respect that desire and get more reasonable arrangement, consider as a place to resemble memories and emotions, simplicity and authenticity which bring the comfortableness and familiarity to the owner's inner feeling.

The designs are primarily for sites and structures in the U.S. (especially Washington, D.C.), as well as Europe and Mexico. American architects and architectural firms created most of the images. Building types range from the United States Capitol and the Library of Congress to private residences and hamburger restaurants. Works by distinguished figures in the history of architecture, design, and engineering in the United States are well represented including Benjamin Henry Latrobe, William Thornton, Stephen Hallet, Thomas Ustick Walter, Montgomery C. Meigs, Cass Gilbert, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Extensive archives are available for Donald H. Drayer, Arthur B. Heaton, Iron Craftsmen, A.B. Mullett & Co., Waggaman & Ray, and Waddy B. Wood.

Through courses covering many time periods and cultures, art history students learn how art is made and how it relates to social, theoretical and historical circumstances. In many classes, students work closely with the collections of the Middlebury College Museum of Art. Field trips to other major museums expand students’ art historical horizons. Architectural Studies From the earliest days of civilization, architecture has enabled humans to create spaces that express their deepest beliefs about their lives. The Architectural Studies track combines study of the history and theory of architecture with a rigorous sequence of studio courses in architectural design taught by practicing architects. Additional perspectives come from renowned architects in the Cameron Visiting Architects Program. While some students pursue Architectural Studies as a rewarding liberal arts major, for others it serves as a pre-professional path to an architectural career.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Roman Architecture]]></category> <link>http://www.sffireapp.org/RomanArchitecture/history-architecture</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.sffireapp.org/RomanArchitecture/history-architecture</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2018 15:48:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Farmhouse style Architecture</title> <description>Did you know if you read the word “farmhouse” in a description of the historic house you want to buy, the term doesn’t necessarily apply to style?

Farmhouse is a term used more often to describe function. Very simply put, homes built on agricultural lands were called farmhouses. They were built out of necessity - to house and protect the inhabitants who either owned or worked the farm. The design of the farmhouse - also called “folk” houses - was initially influenced by geography. The style evolved from the characteristics of the place, people, climate and materials available in the particular region where it was located. The earliest homes that we can call true farmhouses were those built by early colonial families of the 1700s. The owners would likely have built the homes themselves, as opposed to hiring an architect to do the job. Architects were for the wealthy, and skilled labor was either limited or unaffordable. Once the railroads could travel cross-country by the mid-19th century, it became possible for materials to be transported from elsewhere. That opened the door for the farmhouse to take on many different personalities. Houses that once may have been built out of mud, stone or logs could now be built with lumber, brick and quarried stone. Because people with common backgrounds settled together, German immigrants, for one, might have masonry skills. So the houses in that area would have more brick than in other areas. The farmhouse was a very practical style. Another interesting characteristic that developed because of this new accessibility to materials is that the wealthier landowner often adopted styling that was popular at the time. This is why you’ll see such homes listed with double monikers. Two of those styles, many of them built in the mid- to late-1800s and early 1900s, can still be found mostly along the East Coast and throughout the Midwest. An early 1900s farmhouse, for example, sporting a long wraparound porch with Queen Anne posts and railings is referred to as a Queen Anne farmhouse. One with the Greek columns popular in the mid-1800s might be known as a Greek Revival farmhouse. By then, pattern books were available, and landowners could pick a style they liked and buy the materials to build it. The process was what we now call eclectic; it was mix and match all the way, even with color. The commonality was this: The farmhouse was always unpretentious, straightforward and functional. Key Elements Rural location . Farmhouses were, by definition, located on agricultural land and were designed to function around a farming lifestyle. Functional porches . Porches were a transitional space in a farmhouse. Dad and the kids could leave their muddy boots outside so the wooden floors inside stayed clean. Formal and informal spaces . The front of the house served as the formal area, and a large kitchen and the staircase to the bedrooms were housed in the back. Practically Speaking: Hassles and Headaches The taste of American heritage can cost you extra time and maintenance. Homes like these, if not well cared for, tend to have a few structural challenges. For the homeowner who wants to remodel the historic farmhouse, know that the biggest problem tends to deal with storm water. The first thing to fix might be the gutters, roof and downspouts. If you see rotted wood at the base of the house or a moldy foundation, you know you have a problem to fix. It may require tools you don’t have and materials no longer available at the local hardware store. Because a farmhouse roof can be complex - a mix of gabled and hipped roofing as well as various additions usually added to accommodate growth in the family - it can be a costly repair. But architects today are prepared to help you decipher ways to hide electrical wiring or plumbing, help you uncover the original wood floors, and design ways to modernize a kitchen without destroying the historical integrity of the home.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Different Architecture Types]]></category> <link>http://www.sffireapp.org/DifferentArchitectureTypes/farmhouse-style-architecture</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.sffireapp.org/DifferentArchitectureTypes/farmhouse-style-architecture</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Aug 2018 15:17:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Client server design pattern</title> <description>In our project, we have done exactly what you are looking for: a single RPC function which transports wrapped requests to the server, the server executes the corresponding code, and then returns the result to the client again ...</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="/img/why_meteor_rocks_packt_books.jpg" alt="As browser technologies (HTML" align="left" /><p>In our project, we have done exactly what you are looking for: a single RPC function which transports wrapped requests to the server, the server executes the corresponding code, and then returns the result to the client again. How much of that is smelly code - I am not sure. But here's a brief summary of what we did: RPC function: public where Command and CommandReturnValue are empty interfaces extending com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.IsSerializable. Every command implementation has its corresponding CommandReturnValue-implementation, which can wrap any GWT-serializable objects. Example CommandReturnValue: public class SaveCommandReturnValue implements CommandReturnValue{ private String errorMessage; // getter and setter and other important information to return } Example Corresponding Command: public class SaveCommand implements Command{ private List stringsToSave; // other serializable fields and their getters + setters } The server-side implementation of the RPC-function then dispatches the call depending on the command-class. In our case, we have an implementation class for every command (implementing CommandImplementation). Example Implementation: public class SaveCommandImpl implements CommandImplementation{ @Override public SaveCommandReturnValue execute(SaveCommand command){ // code to save whatever the command says to save } } We use Spring on our server-side, so it's a simple thing to register the implementation as a Spring-bean and annotate the Command with the Spring-bean-name. The dispatcher first searches the incoming command for the Spring-bean-name annotation, fetches the correct CommandImplementation-bean from the application context, and then calls the bean's 'execute' method.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Ancient Rome]]></category> <link>http://www.sffireapp.org/AncientRome/client-server-design-pattern</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.sffireapp.org/AncientRome/client-server-design-pattern</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 29 Jul 2018 15:15:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Famous Ancient Roman buildings</title> <description>The Temple of Augustus and Livia, built at the end of the 1st century BC, survives today basically intact in the city of Vienne, France.

Closely similar to the famous Roman temple Maison Carrée in Nîmes, the temple in Vienne was originally dedicated to Augustus. In 41 AD the ancient Roman temple was rededicated to his wife Livia in by her grandson Claudius, the Roman emperor who was born in nearby Lyon. 9Temple of Zeus at Aizanoi Aizanoi, has been inhabited since 3000 BC, and grew wealthy under the Roman Empire through production of wool, grain, and wine. Aizanoi’s most impressive structure, the Temple of Zeus is the best-preserved Roman temple in all of Anatolia and was built in the 2nd century AD. The money needed for the temple’s construction was met by renting out land around the temple. However, the boundaries of the temple lands were unclear, and those who worked them refused to pay the taxes Emperor Hadrian settled the dispute and copies of the letters which were of such significance for the city were later inscribed on the temple walls. 8Dougga Capitol Located in northern Tunisia, Dougga is sometimes called “the best-preserved Roman small town in North Africa”. Amongst the most famous monuments at the site are a Punic-Libyan mausoleum, the theatre and the capitol. The capitol is a Roman temple from the 2nd century CE, principally dedicated to the three most important Roman gods: Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. It has a secondary dedication to the well-being of the emperors Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius. 7Garni Temple Dedicated to Helios, the Roman god of the sun, the Garni temple in Armenia was built by the Armenian King Trdates I in the 1st century AD. The construction was probably funded with money the king received from the Roman Emperor Nero in exchange for military support against the Parthian empire. The Garni Temple contains 24 Ionic columns resting on a elevated podium and unlike other Greco-Roman temples, it is made of basalt. In 1679 an earthquake completely destroyed the ancient Roman temple and it lay in ruins until its reconstruction in the 1970s. 6Temple of Augustus in Pula The Temple of Augustus is the only remaining structure from the original Roman forum in Pula, Croatia. Dedicated to the first Roman emperor, Augustus, it was probably built during the emperor’s lifetime at some point between 2 BC and his death in AD 14. Under Byzantine rule, the temple was converted into a church and was later used as a granary. It suffered considerable damage during WWII when the temple was hit by a bomb. Consequently, much of the structure was rebuilt since that time. 5Sbeitla Forum Temples Sbeitla (or Sufetula) is a fairly well preserved Roman city in the mid west of Tunisia. The city contains a vast almost square forum paved with stone slabs and surrounded by a wall. The forum has a gateway on one side and three Roman temples on the opposite side. Instead of constructing only one temple dedicated to the three most important Roman gods, Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, the inhabitants of Sbeitla built separate temples for each one. A similar arrangement is only found at Baelo Claudia, in Spain. 4Maison Carree Maison Carrée, located in Nimes, France, was built in 16 BC by the Roman General Marcus Vipanius Agrippa, and was dedicated to his two sons who both died young. It is one of the best preserved Roman temples in the world. The Maison Carrée owes its exceptional state of preservation to the fact that it was transformed to a Christan church in the 4th century, saving it from destruction. It has also been a town hall, a stable, a storehouse, and finally a museum. 3Palmyra Situated in an oasis 130 miles north of Damascus, Palmyra is one of Syria’s most popular tourist attraction and is on the standard Roman tour destinations around the country. For centuries Palmyra was an important and wealthy city located along the caravan routes linking Persia with the Mediterranean ports of Roman Syria. There is much to see at the site today for tourists, including the huge Temple of Bel, the monumental arch and the colonnade that once consisted of 1, 500 Corinthian columns. 2Pantheon One of the best preserved Roman buildings, The Pantheon in Rome was built in 126 AD as a temple for all the Roman gods. The temple has served as a Roman Catholic Church since the 7th. The Pantheon consists of a large circular portico with three ranks of huge granite Corinthian columns. The portico opens into a rotunda which is topped with a concrete dome with a central opening: the oculus. A great time to visit the Pantheon during a Roman tour is when it’s raining in Rome and you can see the rain pouring into the building through the oculus.</p>]]></content:encoded> <category><![CDATA[Roman Architecture]]></category> <link>http://www.sffireapp.org/RomanArchitecture/famous-ancient-roman-buildings</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.sffireapp.org/RomanArchitecture/famous-ancient-roman-buildings</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Jul 2018 15:06:00 +0000</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
