I wish for everyone to find their person, place, or thing. ✨ It's essential to discover your own magic. It's a challenging journey, and I believe that failing to find it is one of life's greatest misfortunes. Some people may see themselves as unlucky for not finding their other half, a satisfying career, or success. However, that's not the case; they simply haven't discovered their magic yet! 🎄💖
it's lunch time, you've been on the phone all morning, you're tired and hungry, you put your hat and shades on and bout two steps away from stepping out for a long needed break and a bite to eat, then the phone rings, it's your boss...what do you do?
I took a selfie and sat back down...
This photo shows a number of chess pawns lined accprding to their size. It is a free and easy allegory (or maybe a harsh truth) referring to some professional career. And what is your opinion? Feel free to express it in the comment section under this photo. And don't forget to give it a little star.
Snapped this one on my way out the door, going to work in the morning. New suit and new purse.........I felt absolutely wonderful even though it's a Monday morning. :-)
Charles Gesner van der Voort (1916-1991) had started his career in Rotterdam, at Holland-China Trading Company (HCHC). In 1938, he went to Shanghai for the firm. The Japanese interned him, and most other Dutch nationals, from 1943-45. In camp, he met his wife Nancy and they married after the war. After a leave in The Netherlands, they returned to the Orient, where Charles continued to work for HCHC in Hong Kong.
Twenty years before Charles started, in 1918, a photo album was made of the Hong Kong office and office staff.
The office also housed the Nederlandsch Indische Handelsbank. A 1908 photo by Arnold Wright (1858-1941) is part of Wikimedia Commons: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tcitp_d127_nederlandsch_i...

Located between village Liepa and the primeval valley of River Gauja.
Lode clay deposit was discovered in 1953 by the geologist J.Slienis. Ten years later industrial extraction of clay for brick-making was started. The clay-pit became world famous when the geologist V.Kuršs in 1970 first time in the history of the world discovered well preserved fossils of Upper Devonian armoured fish and Strunius kurshi fish. Still nowhere else fish fossils in such good condition have been discovered; part of the fossils can be viewed in the expositions and funds of Latvian Museum of Natural History. Nowadays clay is extracted by the company „Lode“ which produces finishing, oven-chimney, and construction bricks, as well as other clay items. The Lode armoured fish deposit is a protected nature monument.

Over 50 years ago as a young farm teenager, baling hay, milking cows and cleaning out hog sheds by hand guided my career decisions more than almost anything. In this photo, the past and the present of farming lie side by side. Round bales replaced the back breaking work of loading and unloading bales on a hay trailer. Few windmills in Minnesota still pump water and the old graineries have been largely replaced by newer methods of drying crops.

Yes, 'ModBarbieLover' has finally delved into the vintage era in a big way! I will show more of my new gals and fashions soon, but just had to show one of my all-time favourite vintage era outfits, 'Career Girl' from 1963/64 on my newest 1962 blonde bubblecut. Her lips needed touching up (they darkened to this very dull dark red and had a tiny rub, so I gave her some rich coral red lipstick that instantly brightened her whole face!) but otherwise, The rest of her facepaint was perfect. The poor gal also hadn't been stored properly as her legs were really bent at the shins, but a 'spa' of boiling water, then ice water fixed that. This is the Vintage era outfit (not the repro) but the bag is from the recent 'That Girl' Barbie doll and the addition of the three-strand pearl choker (custom made from a seller from eBay) was inspired by how a blonde bubble wore this outfit in a vintage TV ad for the fashion shop. Barbie is all ready for a big day at her boutique... (Now all I need is Barbie's Fashion Shop to put her in!!)
Tub sarcophagus decorated with pastoral scenes arranged on two registers.
In the upper register a man dressing a tunic with sleeves tied at his waist by a belt, boots and carrying a saddlebag, sits on an overturned basket in front of a building. He prunes a branch with his billhook. A dog helps the man to watch over the animals (horses, oxen, sheep and goats) that graze in an area surrounded by trees.
In the lower register a second man sitting on an overturned basket under a reed shelter and milking a goat. This man wears a tunic tied to his waist by a belt, and boots; his calves are wrapped in bandages, «fasciae». At the opposite side of this register there is another character dressed in the same way as the one depicted in the upper band, but, unlike the other two shepherds, he is beardless. Leaning on a pastoral staff, "pedum", he sits on a rock. A flock of sheep is carved in the central part of the lower band.
On the sides of the tub two lions biting deer or goats. The figures carved on the sides contrast with the peaceful pastoral scenes carved on the tub main body.
The sarcophagus lid features a frieze of Erotes driving chariots pulled by lions or deer. In the center there is a table with a dedicatory inscription reading:
D(is) M(anibus), / lullo Achilleo, / v(iro)
p(erfectissimo), ex prox(imo) mem(oriae), /
((ducenario)) Ludii Magni, qui / vixit annis XLVII, /
m(ensibus) X, AureIia Maxi/mina co(n)iux eius, /
marito dulclssimo.
According to the inscription, the sarcophagus was commissioned by Aurelia Maximina for her husband Iulius Achilleus, belonging to the equestrian order, who died at the age of 47 years and 10 months.
Achilleus had been conferred the title of «vir perfectissimus». He had an important career that began in a subordinate position as a person in charge of an office in the imperial chancellery, «proximus a memoriae», and ended as superintendent, «procurator», of the gladiatorial barracks of Rome, «Ludus Magnus»
The relief, at the time of its discovery, showed conspicuous traces of polychromy today only partially visible.

A goal can be defined as the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve and that (when achieved) terminates behavior intended to achieve it.
A little Background:
On Day 98 (12/27/09) of this project, I became irritated with my weight and set a goal to lose 25lbs from 224.5 to 199.5lbs. Over the next few months I tried to do this with diet alone losing 18 lbs but lapsed into some old habits and by day 218 (4/26/10) I had gained 6 of those pounds back then weighing 213.3lbs. The diet alone approach continued to not work until day 255 (6/2/10) weighing 216lbs I became furious with myself. From that day until today I have counted every calorie, worked out every day, and on Day 290 my scale read 199.5.
When I set that “goal” I assumed that when I reached it you would see a triumphant image, me celebrating, or sitting on a bench taking in the accomplishment, but as I looked at that number on the scale I realized something about myself. That number no longer is as important to me because over a week ago I had reset the “goal” weight to 185lbs.
So I began thinking about the way goals have played into my life. Graduating high school was never a goal, it was a given I was going to college. By the time I was graduating from college I had set my sights on graduate school. By the time I was handed the document proclaiming I had an MBA I was focused on furthering my career and landing the next job. My work career has progressed in the same manor, from accounting manager, to Manager of Finance and HR to Corporate Controller.
I have realized that my “goal” has never been to reach an endpoint and terminate, it has always been to be on a path, passing milestones along the way, noticing them pass and finding the new direction I will be taking. As I get closer to the end of this project I find myself dreading it, wondering “what will I do next”, “where will I go from here”?
So Day 290 is symbolized in this image by me walking past the bench, in the direction of the light, not knowing the final destination but knowing I am on the right path, and being comfortable never reaching the light as I will continually adjust my goal to remain on “The Journey”.

Glamorous French beauty Nicole Maurey (1926) appeared in 65 film and television productions between 1944 and 1997. She flirted with Hollywood stardom in the 1950’s, co-starring with Bing Crosby in Little Boy Lost (1953) and Danny Kaye in Me and the Colonel (1958). She probably remains most noted as Charlton Heston's leading lady in Secret of the Incas (1954), often cited as the primary inspiration for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
Nicole A. Maurey was born in Bois-Colombes, a northwestern suburb of Paris, in 1926. Her father was an architect, her mother housewife. She had one sister. Besides going to school, she took ballet lessons. She entered as a ‘small rat’ at the Paris Opera, but her family preferred a career in the theatre. So she took drama lessons at the Cours d'Art Dramatique from Maurice Escandre. Nicole played her first film role in Blondine (1944, Henri Mahé) opposite Georges Marchal. Other films were Le cavalier noir/The black knight (1945, Gilles Grangier) with Georges Guétary, and La bataille du feu/ The Battle of fire (1949, Maurice de Canonge). In 1950 she married the young actor Jacques L. Gallo whom she had met on the Paris metro. An important film on her résumé is Journal d'un curé de campagne/Diary of a Country Priest (1951) directed by Robert Bresson. It tells the story of an inexperienced and frail priest (Claude Laydu), who has just arrived in his first parish, a village in northern France, where he is not welcome. He tries to fulfill his duties even as he fights a mysterious stomach ailment. The film won eight international awards, including the Grand Prize at the Venice International Film Festival, and the Prix Louis Delluc. It was a financial success in France and established Bresson's international reputation as a major film director. Film critic Andre Bazin wrote an entire essay on the film, calling it a masterpiece "because of its power to stir the emotions, rather than the intelligence." The film also had considerable influences on Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. Two years later Maurey appeared in the American drama Little Boy Lost (1953, George Seaton) about a war correspondent (Bing Crosby) stationed in Paris during World War II and once married to a French girl (Maurey) who was murdered by the Nazis. Following the war, he returns to France trying to find their son, whom he lost during a bombing raid but has been told is living in an orphanage in Paris. Filmed on location in Paris, Little Boy Lost received the Golden Globe Award for Best Film Promoting International Understanding and was also entered into the 1954 Cannes Film Festival. Maurey was then Charlton Heston's leading lady in Secret of the Incas (1954, Jerry Hopper), often cited as the primary inspiration for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). Secret of the Incas was filmed by Paramount Pictures on location in Peru at Cuzco and Machu Picchu, the first time that a Hollywood studio filmed at this archeological site. Five hundred native Indians were used as extras in the film, which also featured the Peruvian singer Yma Sumac. The film caused a surge in tourism to Peru in 1954. The film is often cited as a direct inspiration for the Indiana Jones films, with many of the scenes in Secret of the Incas bearing a striking resemblance in tone and structure to scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Heston and Maurey reprised their roles in 1954 in a Lux Radio Theater version of Secret of the Incas.
In the following decade, Nicole Maurey worked as well in France as internationally. In France she was one of the many stars in the historical drama Si Versailles m'était conté/Royal Affairs in Versailles (1954, Sacha Guitry), which portrayed the personalities who lived in the Royal Palace, the Chateau of Versailles. The following year, she also appeared in Guitry’s historical epic Napoléon (1955, Sacha Guitry) that follows the life of Napoleon from his early life in Corsica to his death at Saint Helena. Other French films were the crime film Section des disparus/The Missing Section (1956, Pierre Chenal) with Maurice Ronet, and the crime comedy Action immédiate/To Catch a Spy (1957, Maurice Labro), starring Henri Vidal. In Great Britain she appeared in the comedy The Constant Husband (1955, Sidney Gilliat) starring Rex Harrison. Then she co-starred in the American war film The Bold and the Brave (1956, Lewis R. Foster), which traces the destinies of three American soldiers (Wendell Corey, Mickey Rooney, and Don Taylor) stationed in Italy during World War II. Other international films were the thriller The Weapon (1957, Val Guest) with Lizabeth Scott, the war comedy Me and the Colonel (1958, Peter Glenville) starring Danny Kaye and Curd Jürgens, the crime film The Scapegoat (1959, Robert Hamer) with Alec Guinness and Bette Davis, and the western The Jayhawkers! (1959, Melvin Frank). In 1960 she divorced Jacques L. Gallo. Maurey reunited with Bing Crosby in the comedy High Time (1960, Blake Edwards), about a middle-aged widower who goes back to college, enters the world of a new generation of postwar youth and falls for professor Maurey. She settled in England and appeared pleasantly in a variety of films but without much fanfare. One of her best known British films is the science-fiction classic The Day of the Triffids (1962, Steve Sekely) based on the novel by John Wyndham. Triffids are plants with a deadly sting that are able to uproot themselves, walk and even communicate. Craig Butler at AllMovie: “Although it takes entirely too many liberties with the excellent novel upon which it is based, The Day of the Triffids is generally an entertaining sci-fi romp. It has many of the classic (some might say clichéd) elements often associated with the genre - an alien invasion, stalwart hero, rag-tag band of allies, and a race against time to save the entire planet.” In 1965 she was back in France for the comedy thriller Pleins feux sur Stanislas/Killer Spy (1965, Jean-Charles Dudrumet), starring Jean Marais. Later, she moved into television appearing in different made-for-TV movies and mini-series, like the hit series La demoiselle d'Avignon/The Maid of Avignon (1972, Michel Wyn) starring Marthe Keller. Her final film was the British-French historical drama Chanel Solitaire (1981, George Kaczender) starring Marie-France Pisier as legendary couturier Coco Chanel. On television Nicole Maurey was last seen in the drama Le grand Batre/The great Batre (1997, Laurent Carcélès) starring Marie-Christine Barrault and Jean-Claude Drouot.

German postcard, no. 708. Steve Reeves' surname is misspelled as Reves
Handsome, musclebound Steve Reeves (1926-2000) was an American bodybuilder and actor, who was a huge success in Hercules (1958) and other Peplum films, the Italian sword-and-sandal epics. At the peak of his career, around 1960, he was reputedly the highest-paid actor in Europe.
Stephen L. Reeves was born on a cattle ranch in the small town of Glasgow, Montana, in 1926. At the age of six months, he won his first fitness title as Healthiest Baby of Valley County. When Steve was 10, his father, Lester Dell Reeves, died in a farming accident. With his mother Goldie Reeves, Steve moved to California. In high school in Oakland Reeves began to work out regularly with weights, and he eventually came to the attention of Ed Yarick, who ran a bodybuilding gym. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the Army and served in the Philippines during World War II and in Japan afterward. After his military service, at the age of 20, he won Mr. Pacific Coast (1946) in Oregon, which led to his titles of Mr. Western America (1947), Mr. America (1947), Mr. World (1948), and, ultimately, Mr. Universe (1950). The very night after he won the Mr. Universe title, he announced his retirement from the bodybuilding competition at the age of 25. With all the body-worshipping publicity he garnered, Reeves had become interested in pursuing an acting career. He moved to New York and studied acting under Stella Adler but after arguments, was refunded his tuition. He was selected by Cecil B. DeMille for the lead role of Samson in the biblical costumer Samson and Delilah (1949) after Burt Lancaster proved unavailable. In order to look convincing on-camera, he was told to lose 15 pounds as the camera added weight. He would not be able to compete in bodybuilding with the diminished weight., so he turned the movie offer down. The part instead went to Victor Mature. In 1949 Steve did film a Tarzan-type television pilot called Kimbar of the Jungle. He was one of the Olympic Team members not interested in the charms of Jane Russell in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Howard Hawks, 1953). In 1954 he had a small role in the musical Athena (Richard Thorpe, 1954) playing Jane Powell's boyfriend. The same year Reeves had a small role as a detective in Ed Wood’s attempt to make a serious Film Noir, Jail Bait (Edward D. Wood Jr., 1954). On TV, Reeves guest-starred on The Ray Bolger Show (1954) and The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show (1957). These roles were mostly posing bits or walk-ons. To Hollywood, Reeves was just a body. But then his fortunes turned.
Italian film director Pietro Francisci’daughter saw Steve Reeves in Athena (1954) and Francisi invited him to come to Cinecitta, the Roman film studios. In 1957, Reeves went to Italy and played the lead character in Le fatiche di Ercole/Hercules (Pietro Francisci, 1958), opposite gorgeous Sylva Koscina. Hercules was a relatively low-budget epic based loosely on the tales of Jason and the Argonauts, though inserting Hercules into the lead role. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: “Though he did not possess a Herculean acting talent by any stretch, handsome bodybuilder Steve Reeves certainly had an enviable Herculean physique, and made plenty good use of it in Europe.” Independent film producer Joseph E. Levine took a big chance and bought the rights to the film's American release. He added a soundtrack dubbed in English and after a major US advertising campaign on television and in the newspapers, Hercules became one of the surprise hits of 1959. Reeves became ‘overnight’ a star. The film’s international success quickly led to the sequel Ercole e la regina di Lidia/Hercules Unchained (Pietro Francisci, 1959), again with Sylva Koscina. Hercules Unchained made even more money and became one of the year's biggest grossing films. Although he is now best known for his portrayal of Hercules, Reeves played the character only twice. Next, he played 19th-century Tatar hero Hadji Murad in Agi Murad il diavolo bianco/White Warrior (Riccardo Freda, 1959) with Giorgia Moll. This was followed by his role as Goliath (in Italy Emiliano) in Il terrore dei barbari/Goliath and the Barbarians (Carlo Campogalliani, 1959) with Chelo Alonso. While filming Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei/The Last Days of Pompeii (Mario Bonnard, Sergio Leone (uncredited), 1959), the chariot Reeves was driving struck a tree and he dislocated his shoulder. This put an end to his more intense exercise routines and caused problems in the following years.
By 1960, Steve Reeves was ranked as the number-one, box-office draw in twenty-five countries around the world. From then on through 1964, Reeves went on to appear in a string of Peplum (sword & sandal films) shot on relatively small budgets, He played a number of characters on-screen, including Welsh pirate and self-proclaimed governor of Jamaica, Captain Henry Morgan in Morgan il pirata/Morgan the Pirate (André De Toth, Primo Zeglio, 1960), Karim, the fabled Thief of Baghdad in Il ladro di Bagdad/The Thief of Baghdad (Arthur Lubin, Bruno Vailati, 1961), and Randus, the son of Spartacus in Il figlio di Spartacus/The Slave: The Son of Spartacus (Sergio Corbucci, 1962). He also played Romulus, the legendary founder of Rome in Romolo e Remo/Duel of the Titans (Sergio Corbucci, 1961) opposite Gordon Scott as his twin brother Remus. Reeves reportedly turned down two roles that became international sensations. He was offered the role of James Bond by Cubby Broccoli in Dr. No (1962) but refused it because of the low salary the producer offered. Reeves also turned down the role of ‘The Man with No name’ that finally went to Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars (Sergio Leone, 1964) because he could not believe that "Italians could make a western". He played Aeneas of Troy in La leggenda di Enea/The Avenger (Giorgio Venturini, 1962) and twice he played Emilio Salgari's Malaysian hero, Sandokan in Sandokan, la tigre di Mompracem/Sandokan the Great (Umberto Lenzi, 1963) with Geneviève Grad, and I pirati della Malesia/The Pirates of Malaysia (Umberto Lenzi, 1964) with Jacqueline Sassard as the romantic interest. Reeves’ injury of The Last Days of Pompeii, would be aggravated by his stunt work in each successive film, ultimately leading to his retirement from film making. In 1968 he appeared in his final film, Vivo per la tua morte/I Live For Your Death!/A Long Ride From Hell (Camillo Bazzoni,1968), a Spaghetti Western he co-wrote. His first wife had been Sandra Smith (1955-1956). In 1963, he married Aline Czarzawicz and the couple moved in 1969 to Valley Center, California, northeast of San Diego. He had bought a ranch there with savings from his film career. The next two decades Reeves bred horses and promoted drug-free bodybuilding, and stayed with Aline, until her death in 1989. In 1994, Reeves and business partner George Helmer started the Steve Reeves International Society, which became through its Internet site, a leading proponent of drug-free bodybuilding. In 1996, it incorporated to become Steve Reeves International Inc. Reeves also wrote the book Powerwalking, and two self-published books, Building the Classic Physique - The Natural Way, and Dynamic Muscle Building. His last screen appearance was in 2000 when he appeared as himself in the made-for-television A&E Biography: Arnold Schwarzenegger — Flex Appeal. In 2000, Reeves died in a hospital in Escondido, California, from a blood clot after having surgery two days earlier. He passed away on the very day that Ridley Scott's Gladiator (2000) premiered, the first sword-and-sandal epic to be produced by Hollywood in many years. Steve Reeves was 74.

The War and Treaty are an American husband and wife duo of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Blount.
Career
Based in Albion, Michigan, Trotter & Blount was formed in 2014. They changed their name to The War and Treaty in 2017 after fighting about changing their name for a fifth time. During the argument Tanya yells out “this isn’t war Michael, so let’s come to some sort of treaty here.”
In 2016, Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Blount released the duet album Love Affair as Trotter & Blount. In the same year, the duo released the single "Hi Ho" as The War and Treaty. "Hi Ho" was described by Paste writer Chris Estey as 'the break out soul hit'. In 2017, The War and Treaty released the EP Down to the River, described as a mix of 'blues, gospel, soul, bluegrass, country' and heralded by Estey as 'a splendidly made immediate classic about conflict and redemption'. Estey describes 'in songs about personal turmoil and the dread at the end of time, every kind of fear and joy is addressed through gut-stirring and feet-moving anthems like "Hit Dawg Will Holla", "Set My Soul On Fire", and the title track. Yet the two can sensually help heal the wounds from those confessional blasts with a sweet ballad like "Till The Mornin’" — they truly live up to the dynamic tension of their moniker.'
In 2018, Rolling Stone reported The War and Treaty's debut album Healing Tide is due for release on August 10, 2018, describing the lead single as a 'joyfully relentless title track, reminiscent of classic Ike and Tina Turner rock-infused soul'.
On September 25, 2020, The War and Treaty released their sophomore studio album, Hearts Town, on Rounder Records. On April 18, 2021 they joined Dierks Bentley for a performance of U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)" for the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards.
