The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a species of passerine bird of the sparrow family Passeridae. It occurs naturally in most of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and much of Asia. It has also been intentionally or accidentally introduced to many parts of the world, making it the most widely distributed wild bird. It is strongly associated with human habitations, but it is not the only sparrow species found near houses. It is a small bird, with feathers mostly different shades of brown and grey.The House Sparrow is a chunky bird,[2] typically about 16 cm (6 in) long, ranging from 14 to 18 cm (5.5–7 in).[3] It has a large rounded head, a short tail, and a stout bill.[2] In weight, the House Sparrow generally ranges from 24 to 39.5 g (0.84–1.4 oz).[4] Weight varies by sex, with females usually smaller than males.[4] Younger birds are smaller, males are larger during the winter, and females larger during the breeding season.[5] Between and within subspecies, there is further variation based on latitude, altitude, climate, and other environmental factors, under biological rules such as Bergmann's rule.[5][6][7][8]
The plumage of the House Sparrow is mostly different shades of grey and brown. The sexes differ, with females and juveniles mostly buff, and the male marked with bold colours.[7] The male is duller in fresh non-breeding plumage, with buff tips on many feathers. Wear and preening expose bright markings of brown and black, including a throat and chest patch, called a "bib" or a "badge".[9] This patch is variable in width and general size, and some scientists have suggested that patches signal social status or fitness, a hypothesis which has led to a "veritable 'cottage industry'" of studies, which have only conclusively shown that patches increase in size with age.[10] In breeding plumage, the male's crown is grey, and it is marked with black on its throat and beneath its crown. The cheeks and underparts are pale grey. The mantle and upper back are a warm brown, broadly streaked with black, while the lower back, rump and uppertail coverts are a greyish-brown.[11] The female has no black on head or throat, nor a grey crown and its upperparts are streaked with brown.[12] The juvenile is deeper brown, and the white is replaced by buff; the beak is pink to dull yellow.[12]
There is some variation in the twelve subspecies of House Sparrow. The subspecies are divided into two groups, the Oriental indicus group, and the Palaearctic domesticus group. Birds of the domesticus group have grey cheeks, while indicus group birds have white cheeks, as well as bright colouration on the crown, a smaller bill, and a longer black bib.[13] The subspecies Passer domesticus tingitanus differs little from the nominate subspecies, except in the worn breeding plumage of the male, in which the head is speckled with black and underparts are paler.[14] P. d. balearoibericus is slightly paler than the nominate but darker than P. d. bibilicus.[15] P. d. bibilicus is paler than most subspecies, but has the grey cheeks of domesticus group birds. The similar P. d. persicus is paler and smaller, and P. d. niloticus is nearly identical but smaller.[14] Of the less wide ranging indicus group subspecies, P. d. hyrcanus is larger than P. d. indicus, P. d. bactrianus is larger and paler, P. d. parkini is larger and darker with more black on the breast than any other subspecies, and P. d. hufufae is paler.[14][16][17]
The House Sparrow can be confused with a number of other seed-eating birds, especially its relatives in the genus Passer. Many of these relatives are smaller, with an appearance that is neater or "cuter", as with the Dead Sea Sparrow.[18] The dull-coloured female often can not be distinguished from other birds, and it is nearly identical to the females of the Spanish Sparrow and Italian Sparrow.[11] The Eurasian Tree Sparrow is smaller and more slender with a chestnut crown and a black patch on each cheek.[19] The male Spanish Sparrow and Italian Sparrow are distinguished by their chestnut crowns. The Sind Sparrow is smaller, with the male less black on the throat and the female usually having a distinct pale supercilium

One of the annual series of leaflets on the subject of "Shakespeare Country" issued by Associated British and Irish Railways following their formation in c.1932/33. Most years the relevant railways, in this case the London Midland & Scottish Railway and the Great Western Railway, appear to have taken turn to produce artwork that was then published under the ABIR title for distribution overseas; primarily as here in the North American market.
This very rural 'Old England' scene is credited as being by "B". There is no clue as to date but as other issues, datable, run from 1935 - 1939 I am inclined to place this c.1934. As for production I wonder if this did not originate in the GWR publicity offices given the ABIR logo is strikingly similar to the GWR circular badge used by the railway in the mid-late 1930s.

This time it came shortly after 6PM, on a warm Saturday night, and while some were stuck in trains elevators for hours, no serious injuries or deaths was miraculous.
After dark, it really was pitch black as buildings blocked light from anywhere except the sky - with full moon, Saturn and Jupiter making their debut on Broadway.

The name Chautauqua is usually associated with the town of Chautauqua in Chautauqua County, New York. Chautauqua was named for Chautauqua Lake and the lake received its name “Chautauqua” from the Native American Seneca people who lived in the area. Also located in Chautauqua is the Chautauqua Institution, a popular nonprofit education and summer resort that can trace its beginnings back to 1874.
The Chautauqua Institution today says, “We are a community of artists, educators, thinkers, faith leaders and friends dedicated to exploring the best in humanity.” They annually host a series of programs featuring lectures from a wide variety of fields along with music and theater just as they did in the late 1800s.
In 1904 Keith Vawter and Roy Ellison appropriated the concept of the Chautauqua Institution to create a for-profit business much to the chagrin of the Institution. They basically saw an opportunity to make money by taking the Chautauqua Institution idea on the road as a form of entertainment going from town to town as “Circuit Chautauquas” or “Tent Chautauquas.”
These traveling Chautauqua shows were not affiliated with the Chautauqua Institution. Instead, they traveled about the country much like a circus or fair selling locals’ tickets to see lecturers, musicians, and theater productions under a tent while marketing it all as educational and enlightening. Circuit Chautauqua’s reached their peak in the mid-1920s appearing to over 45 million people in over 10,000 communities before finally playing out by 1940.
On Wednesday, July 1, 1914, a Chautauqua opened in Statesville for a 6-day run featuring 31 events all for a $2-dollar ticket. A large 3 ft. x 20 ft. banner advertising the event was hung across a downtown street and 2,500 “Photo Story Booklets” containing the programs schedule passed out. The Chautauqua tent with 1,200 seats was set up on a lot on the corner of Broad and Tradd Streets.
The Chautauqua continued to visit Statesville and Mooresville over the next few years. On June 10th, 1918 the “Statesville Chautauqua” opened for a six-day run featuring “Life in the Trenches Vivid and Timely Lecture by Captain Leslie Vickers of the Royal Scotch Fusileers.” The Royal Scots Fusiliers was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed from 1678 until 1959.
A rare 1918 copy of “Life in the Trenches” is part of the Local History Collection at the Iredell County Public Library in Statesville. Images of newspaper articles from the Chautauqua visit to Statesville in 1914 were taken from microfilm of the Statesville Sentinel (1909-1922) housed at the library and created by the State Archives of North Carolina, Division of Archives and Records, part of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Associate Professor James Cutler, center, speaks with students as they prepare to launch four cubesats as part of AEROSP 495 and 740 classes at the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Tuesday morning, December 6, 2022. In the background are Will Moll, left, and Rohan Chandratre, both maters student in aerospace engineering.
After final adjustments Cutler and his students drove to Plumb Lake County Park near Sturgis to launch the cubesats, which would then be carried in the stratosphere eastward to approximate just east of Tecumseh.
The goal of the courses is to give students the opportunity to design and build complex satellite-like flight vehicles. The high-altitude balloons, which are filled with helium, rise into the stratosphere emulating some key aspects of spaceflight. According to Graduate Student Instructor Gage Bergman, "The stratosphere is an extreme environment, it experiences vast temperature differences, and also requires students to develop robust and reliable systems because once a balloon is released, there is no way to retrieve it - just like actual spaceflight.” Bergman is a masters student in aerospace engineering.

Associated British and Irish Railways was a marketing organisation jointly formed by the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMSR), London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), and Southern Railway (SR) in 1934, later joined by Great Western Railway (GWR) and Great Southern Railways (GSR) in 1935. Most of its promotional material was aimed at the North American market and it produced annual editions of folders giving information about the services and destinations served by the railway companies.
One of the folders produced was that of a railway map of the whole of the UK and Ireland showing the lines and ferry services of the member railways. This issue, with an interesting but uncredited cover, uses an interesting map. The Philips cartography would, in post-war years, go on to be used by the newly nationalised British Railways after 1948, and it appears to have been first introduced by the London & North Eastern Railway in c.1936; it is interesting to see the use of the company's adopted typeface, Gill Sans, used for place names. This folder makes me think that for ABR use, Philips may have been commissioned, possibly by the LNER, to extend this style of coverage to the whole outline network in the UK and Éire.
It has been scanned in four overlapping sections to save damage to a fragile item. This section shows Western Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands, along with the northern areas of the island of Ireland.
