William Stokes, the patriarch with the long beard, was a third cousin of my great grandfather Sir Gabriel Stokes. However, the cousins never heard of each other because the above family was airbrushed out of the pedigree - this William was illegitimate and had an Indian mother, both very frowned upon in those days, especially as William's father Hudleston Stokes (1806-88) was known as a devout Christian. Hudleston married in England after William was born, and only his legitimate family appears in the official family records. I have now remedied this: they may not be in Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland etc but they are on my tree at ancestry.com! William and Mary Ann (also half Indian) had 9 surviving children all pictured here (plus 4 who died in infancy):
Back row: Hudleston Stokes "mechanic"; Harry Stokes "student"; Dr. Willy Stokes; Bertie Stokes "Post Office clerk"; Friedrich Hermann Bretschneider "BM industry" standing behind his wife Ellen (nee Stokes).
Seated: Mary Heinecken nee Stokes; Mr William Stokes with long beard; Winnie Stokes; William's wife Mary Ann (nee Hill) with their baby grandson Willliam Herman Bretschneider on her knee; the baby's mother Ellen Bretschneider (nee Stokes).
On ground: Georgie Stokes; Charlie Stokes.
This family were missionaries. More can be found of them online at:
digitallibrary.usc.edu/bmpix/controller/simplesearch.htm?...
I date this photo at 1896 based on little William Bretschnieder looking about two. (He and his brother Harry - not yet born in this pic - dropped the German surname during the first world war and took the name Stokes.) Handsome Hudleston Stokes the mechanic (1872-1943) is far left at the back. He is grandfather of my 6th cousin Jenny Pritchard, to whom I am grateful for directing me to the missionary website which is full of photos.

Water Street South, Galt, Cambridge, Waterloo Region, Ontario. Built in 1885 this building had faded in recent decades almost to the point of needing a wrecking ball. It was bought in 2012 by the City of Cambridge at a price of a little less than $1 million. After restoration and additions lasting six years and costing $15 million, it opened in 2018 as Canada's first all-digital library for all ages and is known as the "Old Post Office Idea Exchange".
In addition to the digital library it also offers a space for residents to explore technology programs; a creative studio; a discovery centre and a makerspace that has two 3D printers, a 360 Flexx Laser Cutter, a photo studio, green screen and other creative software.
The building is illuminated on selected evenings by an impressive display of lights. Commissioned by the City of Cambridge, the Old Post Office Light Show uses visual effects, called projection mapping, to transform the front (street side) of the Old Post Office in an amazing colourful and transformative display.

This is in back of Student Health. From the plaque: "figures in glazed terra cotta by Haig Patigian, originally installed on the Richfield building in downtown Los Angeles, 1929...donated to UCSB in 1969...reinstalled and dedicated 1982." Richfield (now Arco) is an oil company, and the building's decor was all black-and-gold; "transportation imagery dominated".
These are Industry (above), Navigation, and Aviation, and they were lined up above the entrance along with one representing Postal Service. According to the UCSB long-range development plan, salvaging them was an effort of architectural history professor David Gebhard.

Mendeley helps you when you have to compile your bibliography. You no longer have to spend hours manually typing entries or creating databases to organize your references, since Mendeley reference manager makes it easy for you! Now you can create automated bibliographies in over 100 citation styles and cite while you write by using Mendeley Word or OpenOffice, Writer plug-in.
The first thing to do is to import your research papers into Mendeley Desktop. You can do this manually by using the "Add Document" button on the interface or you can import existing EndNote XML, RIS, or BibTex files.
You can also drag and drop your PDFs into Mendeley Desktop, where it will then extract the document details, keywords and cited references. It also looks up Cross-Ref DOIs, arXiv IDs and PubMed document details automatically.
Your library of research papers will all be neatly and intuitively organized. You can search through your bibliography manager and filter by author, journal, keywords and even by assigning your own tags. This gives you immediate and quick access to your documents. Mendeley will even suggest papers not in your library which are similar in content or context.
To make life even easier, Mendeley can also take care of renaming your papers to more user-friendly file names. The bibliography manager can automatically rename all of your files to the same name format such as "Author - Title.pdf", making it even easier to manage your research papers. There is also the folder monitoring tool, which allows Mendeley Desktop to automatically import any new files that you place into your selected folders.
You can access your Mendeley bibliography from any computer by having an online account. This means that whatever operating system you are using and wherever you are in the world, you can manipulate your bibliography and access it with ease.

Mrs Luengo Silvia Vasquez farms with flowers and berries. After the library’s training, Mrs Vasquez and her husband have bought a notebook computer and are now regular Internet users: ‘I never thought of doing a computer course before, because of the cost. Learning was not difficult, and I already use a notebook without problems. I'm pretty used to reading electronic newspapers every morning. I like to browse through different pages, just for the fun of finding different things, going to distant cities, different lifestyles, and so on. Everything has become easier: I do not have to wait for advice to solve pest problems or flower diseases. I look for the disease and then find the solution.'
