My step-mum (of sorts!), Mette. Another member of my ginger family. I'm a bit of a contrast to these lot, dark hair, dark eyes, no freckles. A neat little father, mother, child of gingers. And then there's me. The black haired sheep. I find gingers fascinating- my childhood memories are filled with images of my dad covered in factor 50, of zinc on his nose, the tops of his toes burning, his skin reflecting the sun. My mother and i would look on smugly. Now he's got company...

Gothenburg (Swedish: Göteborg) is the second-largest city in Sweden, fifth-largest in the Nordic countries, and capital of the Västra Götaland County. It is situated by Kattegat, on the west coast of Sweden, and has a population of approximately 570,000 in the city proper and about 1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area.
Gothenburg was founded as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony, by royal charter in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus. In addition to the generous privileges (e.g. tax relaxation) given to his Dutch allies from the then-ongoing Thirty Years' War, the king also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Gothenburg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries.
Gothenburg is home to many students, as the city includes the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927. The original parent Volvo Group and the now separate Volvo Car Corporation are still headquartered on the island of Hisingen in the city. Other key companies are SKF and Astra Zeneca.
Gothenburg is served by Göteborg Landvetter Airport 30 km (19 mi) southeast of the city center. The smaller Göteborg City Airport, 15 km (9.3 mi) from the city center, was closed to regular airline traffic in 2015.
The city hosts the Gothia Cup, the world's largest youth football tournament, and the Göteborg Basketball Festival, Europe's largest youth basketball tournament, alongside some of the largest annual events in Scandinavia. The Gothenburg Film Festival, held in January since 1979, is the leading Scandinavian film festival with over 155,000 visitors each year. In summer, a wide variety of music festivals are held in the city, including the popular Way Out West Festival.

The Volvo Museum was inaugurated in 1995 and operated jointly by AB Volvo and Volvo Cars . The museum has been continuously expanded and now comprises approximately 8,000 square meters. About a hundred vehicles are on display.
The museum is constructed in chronological order and begins with an exhibition on Volvo's founding in the 1920s. Here is Volvo's first car model; Volvo ÖV4 from 1927, a PV4 from 1929 as well as a bus and a truck from 1928. In the same room there is an exhibition showing Volvo today. An escalator leads up to the upper floor where from the 1930s to the 1990s you follow the company's development. On the second floor there is also a large area for special exhibitions based on different themes.
Then follows the exhibition of race cars and prototypes. Among the prototypes are 1950s Volvo Philip with V8 engine and Volvo VCC . Among the cars here is Gunnar Engellau's service car Volvo P1800 . On the ground floor, Volvo Penta's history is shown with both marine and industrial engines. On the ground floor are Volvo Trucks , Volvo Buses and Volvo Construction Equipment . The exhibition is dynamic, so exhibited objects can vary.
The nearest bus stop is called Arendal Skans. By car, you take County Road 155 towards Öckerö and then follow signs for Arendal.

The Volvo Group (Swedish: Volvokoncernen; legally Aktiebolaget Volvo, shortened to AB Volvo, stylized as VOLVO) is a Swedish multinational manufacturing company headquartered in Gothenburg. While its core activity is the production, distribution and sale of trucks, buses and construction equipment, Volvo also supplies marine and industrial drive systems and financial services. In 2016, it was the world's second largest manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks.
Automobile manufacturer Volvo Cars, also based in Gothenburg, was part of AB Volvo until 1999, when it was sold to the Ford Motor Company. Since 2010 it has been owned by the Chinese multinational automotive company Geely Holding Group. Both AB Volvo and Volvo Cars share the Volvo logo and cooperate in running the Volvo Museum in Sweden.
The company was first listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 1935, and was on the NASDAQ indices from 1985 to 2007.
Volvo was established in 1915 as a subsidiary of SKF, a ball bearing manufacturer; however both the Volvo Group and Volvo Cars regard the rollout of the company's first car series, the Volvo ÖV 4, on 14 April 1927, as their beginning. The building remains (57°42′50″N 11°55′19″E).

The Friday Mosque as it stands now is the result of continual construction, reconstruction, additions and renovations on the site from around 771 to the end of the twentieth century. Archaeological excavation has determined an Abbasid hypostyle mosque in place by the 10th century. Buyid construction lined a façade around the courtyard and added two minarets that are the earliest example of the double minaret on record.
Construction under the Seljuqs included the addition of two brick domed chambers, for which the mosque is renowned. The south dome was built to house the mihrab in 1086-87 by Nizam al-Mulk, the famous vizier of Malik Shah, and was larger than any dome known at its time. The north dome was constructed a year later by Nizam al-Mulk's rival Taj al-Mulk. The function of this domed chamber is uncertain. Although it was situated along the north-south axis, it was located outside the boundaries of the mosque. The dome was certainly built as a direct riposte to the earlier south dome, and successfully so, claiming its place as a masterpiece in Persian architecture for its structural clarity and geometric balance. Iwans were also added in stages under the Seljuqs, giving the mosque its current four-iwan form, a type which subsequently became prevalent in Iran and the rest of the Islamic world.
Responding to functional needs of the space, political ambition, religious developments, and changes in taste, further additions and modifications took place incorporating elements from the Mongols, Muzzafarids, Timurids and Safavids. Of note is the elaborately carved stucco mihrab commissioned in 1310 by Mongol ruler Oljaytu, located in a side prayer hall built within the western arcade. Safavid intervention was largely decorative, with the addition of muqarnas, glazed tilework, and minarets flanking the south iwan.
The cupolas and piers that form the hypostyle area between the iwans are undated and varied in style, endlessly modified with repairs, reconstructions and additions.

Queens Farm Park, Floral Park, Queens
The Creedmoor farmhouse is a rare surviving example of a colonial farmhouse in the Borough of Queens. The oldest portion,, which can be dated through an examination of physical evidence to the mid-18th century, reflects the mixture of Dutch colonial and Hew England influences common in old houses of Long Island where the two cultures met.
Various additions were made to the house during the 19th century; the most notable in about 1840 doubled the size of the house. The unusual character of the farmhouse is further enhanced by its fifty-two acre farm site which is virtually unchanged from the tine the house was built.
Mid-18th century records indicate that the land on which the house stands belonged to Samuel Cornell. It was inherited by his daughters Elizabeth Hicks and Mary Hicks Searing, and by his grandson Samuel Kicks after his death in 1796. The size of the original house, only two rooms, suggests that it may have been built for one of Samuel Cornell's daughters following her marriage, or it could have been used as a tenant house on the family farm.
In his will Samuel Cornell leaves the use of his "dwelling house" to his wife Hannah and his daughter Mary Searing; however, to his daughter Elizabeth he leaves "that part of my lands where she now lives with the house...."
It is a reasonable assumption that this refers to the Creedmoor farmhouse especially since Elizabeth was married in 1758 to Edward Hicks, and physical evidence indicates that the house is of about this date. The Cornells are one of New York's earliest and most illustrious families. Thomas Cornell, the founder of the family, cane to Boston from County Essex, England, about 1638.
His son Richard settled in Flushing about 1655, and later , also in Far Rockaway where the Richard Cornell Graveyard is a designated New York City Landmark. The Samuel Cornell who is associated with the farmhouse at Creedmoor is Richard's great grandson.
John Bennum and his wife Johanna Stoothoff acquired the house and farm from Samuel Cornell's heirs sometime in the early 1800s. They came to the area from Flatlands in Brooklyn sometime between 1802 and 1808.
An 1812 mortgage on the property shows that Bennum owned it by that time. Daniel and Jane Lent and then Peter Cocx also owned the farm during the 19th century. Most of the additions date from the period of Cocx's ownership. The Stattel family was the last to farm the property. In 1926 the Brooklyn State Hospital purchased the farm to increase the acreage of their Creedmoor branch which had been established in 1912, The farm was used to grow food for the mental patients at Creedmoor; the patients also worked in the fields as therapy.
In 1913 the Department of Mental Hygiene of the State of New York declared the farm belonging to the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center as surplus property.
In response to the community, it is now intended to transfer the property to the City so the land may be kept as open space with uses restricted to recreation and for agricultural and horticultural programs of local educational institutions.
In 1975 it was discovered that the house on the farm dated back to the 18th century, and the Colonial Farmhouse Restoration Society of Bellerose was formed to care for the house. The group was granted a permit in February, 1976, to occupy the house, conduct the restoration, and coordinate the educational activities at the farm.
The Creedmoor farmhouse as seen today includes a series of additions which were made over a period of years to the Dutch farmhouse of c.1750.
An eastern portion was added to the original house in about 1840 in a simplified version of the Greek Revival style, identifiable mainly on the interior. In 1875 a wing was added to the north and in about 1885 porches were constructed on the east and south sides with a porch extension along the west side after the turn of the century.
The farm buildings on the site were built after 1927 and may well be the last farm buildings to have been constructed in Queens County.
As seen from the south, the most significant element of the house is a wood-columned porch which extends the entire width of the front and along the sides. Above the porch is a series of fascia-type low windows set just below the eave. In the western portion these probably replaced a projected or spring eave which, judging from the north elevation of this portion of the house, must have once been a notable feature on the south side.
The double-pitched roof with rather high gables at each end maintains a continuous ridge from end to end. The dormer window at the south was a later addition. The porch is the most conspicuous feature at each end of the house; four windows are placed above it at the west.
The vernacular north wing is set behind the Greek Revival portion of the house revealing the original spring eave of the old portion of the house to the west of it as well as twelve-over-twelve window sash and original shingles exposed about twelve inches to the weather and secured by hand-wrought nails.
A portion of this old shingle facing is also exposed on the south side to the right of the front door. Two original windows in the north wall, complete with heavy muntined sash, follow the Dutch pattern of placing their tops right up against the second story floor boards.
The old portion of the house was constructed with the characteristic Dutch framing. It consists of a series of closely spaced transverse "vents" comprised of floor beams with tenons set into morticed uprights at the wall. The framing is of oak with beams of tulip poplar. The exterior walls have "wattle and daub" nogging consisting of clay with a straw binder set between the studs as insulation.
Except for the western portion of the north wall, the other exterior walls have been re-sided with narrow clapboard. Without this portion of the north wall, it would be almost impossible to determine the real age of the house.
The extent of the old portion has been largely deduced from a study of the interiors.
The chimney, set just north of the ridgepole, is probably too small to be the original. As seen in the cellar, the base of the chimney is constructed of stone piers with brick arch between them, designed to support back-to-back fireplaces above. This would have resulted in a large square chimney above the roof.
The chimney placement is indicative of New England influence. The house rests on a foundation of native field stone with mud-packed joints.
The old portion of this house might be described as "Dutch Colonial" and indeed the reference is correct in describing the general style of this type of house; however, the stylistic elements of this so-called 'Dutch Colonial" architecture were actually brought over to this country during the 1600s by Flemings and Walloons who had fled before the Spanish invasion of Flanders in the 1620s.
They first arrived in densely populated Holland, only to subsequently emigrate to America where they lived under Dutch rule. This is probably the reason why houses built by the Flemish were referred to as Dutch.
One of the distinctive features of the "Dutch Colonial" house is the projected, or spring, roof eave which may have initially acted as an overhang to give protection to masonry walls from cascading rain water and snow.
Many houses on Long Island made traditional use of this detail despite the fact that most of them were constructed of wood, a material which was plentiful on Long Island. This traditional spring eave also provided shelter for stoops and benches at the entrance doors.

Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida.
The Orange County Convention Center’s (OCCC) Security team introduced its newest addition – a 5-foot, 500-pound autonomous security robot that will play a vital role in ensuring the safety of OCCC guests by increasing the scope of surveillance on the Center’s campus, while significantly augmenting the Security team’s efforts.
Produced by Knightscope Inc., a developer of advanced physical security technologies focused on enhancing U.S. security operations, this Autonomous Security Robot (ASR) is what the company calls a “game-changer.” The OCCC is the first convention center to deploy this technological tool in partnership with Knightscope Inc.
BBot will provide 360-degree video surveillance to monitor crowds. Its video stream connects directly to the OCCC Security Command Center. It will feature a “help” button that attendees can utilize, which also has a direct line to the Command Center. BBot has thermal imaging capabilities that can detect temperature abnormalities both among humans and in the physical environment. This allows for safety features such as early fire detection and picking up a presence of an elevated body temperature.

The additions to the class were, Golden Archer, Edith Shry, Earl and Freda Deeren, Guy Hoopman and Coral and Vera Starr, besides some of last year's Sophomores, who decided to wait for us. Soon after school opened we organized. Alfred Friday was chosen President, Donald Glenn, Vice President and Julia Harper, Secretary. Paul Lyons and George Ritter represented us on the gridiron and basketball floor this year. So far we have had two class parties, with the prospects of another one soon (please don't let the Juniors see this tho) as they tried to break up our corn roast, with the result that they received – but I won't tell on them. (Just ask the "Little Meredith boy”.) "Poor Old Caesar,” he certainly had a hard time in Gaul, but he had a cinch to what we have. We have to find out what he did, fight his battles over and be victors, without having the added zest of seeing the scenery. About Christmas we adjourned for a week in order to see Santa Claus. After Christmas we all had to be vaccinated and we certainly had some sore arms. Since vacation we have had monthly exams, which certainly are great, if you don't care what you say. Some time after vacation we held a Union Literary Meeting in the Assembly Hall and Mr. Lebold's room carried off the honors in the debate. About all we have been able to do this spring, has been to dodge rain drops, read the bulletins of the great floods and attend the meetings of the Board of Trade.

Olive Bistro, the latest addition to A D Singh’s chain of Olives, is located in Gurgaon’s budding Cyber Hub. It is located on the first floor, placed strategically in front of the Cyber Hub auditorium. It just felt delightful in walking into its Outdoor seating. The picket white fences, the garden feel type of seating made way to a feeling of mushiness and warmth. I have always been a fan of alfresco dining. Be it the warmth of the sun on a wintery afternoon or a breezy sultry evening, the ambience does make a difference for me! So this place, in the heart (almost) of Gurgaon definitely bowled me over.
The staff were friendly, courteous and polite and took extreme care to reach out when needed. Well informed about the dishes and were giving ample suggestions when asked for.
We were there for the Sunday brunch and that is one lavish spread. There are multiple options for Appetizers and drinks with ample vegetarian selects. The course started off with The Olive special Caesar salad which is a must try, a mezze platter of Pita n Nachos with dips of hummus, babaghanoush, tashi and drinks. The mock tail that I had ordered “Litchi tornado” tasted artificial and nothing like Litchi, but the “Mojito” was perfect. Rest of the cocktails tasted good but the Red wine Sangria was the best of the lot for me.
The others included Potato & Jalapeno poppers (one that was immensely loved by all), batter coated pickled vegetables which gave out a hint of tanginess to the fried vegetables, crumb fried fish (being a fish lover, I really liked it), cottage cheese sliders and chicken sliders. The Cottage cheese and Chicken sliders came with portion of twos and the chicken burger was one of the best we have had in quite a while, crunchy patty with lettuce, onion and tomato. We also ordered for the Eggs Benedict with spinach – and this one took the prize, subtle with sautéed spinach, tasty and exactly the way Eggs Benedict should be made.
Done with the starters we decided on to try out on few of the items on the mains menu. Ordered for “Grilled Lemon Mustard Basa”, “Herbs roast chicken”, “BBQ pork Spare ribs” and “Garlic & Dill marinated Grilled prawns” along with one helping (read big) of Penne in white sauce with grilled chicken. The one word to describe each dish should be “amazing”. Every dish was cooked to perfection and just as beautifully served, with accompaniments of Mashed Potato and buttered vegetables, mushy peas, pesto and sundried tomatoes. The contrasting flavours were an absolute delight.
Dessert platter consisted of Flourless Chocolate torte, Lemon Tart, Blueberry Cheesecake, Banana moist cake and Waffles with Maple syrup. Waffles were fresh, warm and crispy as needed and tasted yummy with maple syrup. The lemon tart was bursting with a bitter, sweet, tangy flavor all at one go when taken a bite into.
It was a very nice experience, well who wouldn’t love good food with an amazing ambience. Will be definitely, making a visit here again. All in all the place is a must go!

Each photo will have a little more about what is in the picture, but the breif overveiw is, these are all additions to the garden/greenhouse this year.
This is the front or south facing wall. there is the upper shelf where the peppers are still basking, and then nasturtiums and calendula every other space.
The Friday Mosque as it stands now is the result of continual construction, reconstruction, additions and renovations on the site from around 771 to the end of the twentieth century. Archaeological excavation has determined an Abbasid hypostyle mosque in place by the 10th century. Buyid construction lined a façade around the courtyard and added two minarets that are the earliest example of the double minaret on record.
Construction under the Seljuqs included the addition of two brick domed chambers, for which the mosque is renowned. The south dome was built to house the mihrab in 1086-87 by Nizam al-Mulk, the famous vizier of Malik Shah, and was larger than any dome known at its time. The north dome was constructed a year later by Nizam al-Mulk's rival Taj al-Mulk. The function of this domed chamber is uncertain. Although it was situated along the north-south axis, it was located outside the boundaries of the mosque. The dome was certainly built as a direct riposte to the earlier south dome, and successfully so, claiming its place as a masterpiece in Persian architecture for its structural clarity and geometric balance. Iwans were also added in stages under the Seljuqs, giving the mosque its current four-iwan form, a type which subsequently became prevalent in Iran and the rest of the Islamic world.
Responding to functional needs of the space, political ambition, religious developments, and changes in taste, further additions and modifications took place incorporating elements from the Mongols, Muzzafarids, Timurids and Safavids. Of note is the elaborately carved stucco mihrab commissioned in 1310 by Mongol ruler Oljaytu, located in a side prayer hall built within the western arcade. Safavid intervention was largely decorative, with the addition of muqarnas, glazed tilework, and minarets flanking the south iwan.
The cupolas and piers that form the hypostyle area between the iwans are undated and varied in style, endlessly modified with repairs, reconstructions and additions.

New addition to the Great Ormond St Hospital (GOSH).
Guilford St face. Phase II. Llewelyn Davies Yeang.
(Between Guildford St and Great Ormond St, Bloomsbury.)
Click diagonal arrows upper right and then press F11 Fullscreen.
"Bolstering the facilities of one of the world's leading tertiary children's hospitals whilst also setting a new benchmark for 'green' design."
The Mittal Children’s Medical Centre houses wards, operating theatres, offices and a staff and family restaurant.
The new hospital development will provide all its own energy, and aims to be carbon-free.
Large city hospitals are a problem in much of the world. Heavy engineering and services needs, while essential, seem to result in images of uncaring bunkers ---- paradoxically the least human of our built development.
I've extolled the skills of the Great Ormond St Hospital operation before --- so much Greater than the street. So I was keen for a hurried glimpse of this new work in Guilford St. I didn't have time for the interior so any comment is superficial at best. The glass angular treatment on solid blank wall would have looked architecturally interesting on paper. And inside, I'm sure there's lots of pleasant light to go with the functional needs. But if I was an ill child arriving here I might be more frightened than encouraged. It's a difficult problem, but, unfairly, I was disappointed. Architects can be much more human.
Another two bargains from ReStore today: a medicine cabinet for $10 and a towel ring for 30 cents!!! The towel rings I had been looking at buying were $28 new! I'm so happy to not only save money but re-use something -- definitely my crowning frugal moment of the week.
