Piero della Francesca (Sansepolcro, Arezzo, 1416/17 – 1492)
One of the most celebrated portraits of the Italian Renaissance, the diptych features the Duke of Urbino, Federico da Montefeltro (1422-1482) and his wife Battista Sforza (1446-1472). In the tradition of the fourteenth century, inspired by the design of ancient coins, the two figures are shown in profile, an angle that ensured a good likeness and a faithful representation of facial details without allowing their sentiments to show through: indeed, the Duke and Duchess of Urbino appear unaffected by turmoil and emotions. The couple are facing each other and the spatial element is suggested by the light and the continuity of the rolling landscape in the background, representing the area of the Marches over which the Duke and Duchess ruled. The chromatic contrast between the bronze skin tones used for Federico and the pale tones of Battista Sforza is striking; the pale pallor of the Duchess not only respects the aesthetic conventions which were fashionable during the Renaissance but could also allude to her untimely death in 1472. On the back of the panels, the Duke and Duchess are featured being carried triumphantly on ancient wagons, accompanied by the Christian virtues; the Latin inscriptions pay tribute to the couple’s moral values. The presence of the images on the reverse side suggests that the two paintings, now set in a modern frame, would once have been part of a diptych.

duke was all bouncy bouncy bouncing all excited to go out and not paying attention to where he was going. And he kinda impaled his ass on the corner of the coffee table. He let out the most pitiful little yelp then looked at me as if i'd kicked him or something. A little later on i noticed at a distance how sore and bruised it looked... so i did what any good mom would do and pinned him down to get a supermacro shot of his asshole.
(in this picture i had him pinned on my lap and had to pry his tail up... I rotated the pic so that the veiw in the pic is pretty much what you'd see if he was trotting around with his tail in the air, as he is known to do)

Prince Arthur, (1850-1942), was the seventh child and third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Arthur was educated by private tutors before entering the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich at the age of 16. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the British Army, where he served for some 40 years, seeing service in various parts of the British Empire. During this time he was also created as a royal duke, becoming the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn.
In 1879 Prince Arthur married Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia, and the couple had three children:
Princess Margaret of Connaught, Crown Princess of Sweden as the first wife of the future King Gustaf VI Adolf.
Prince Arthur of Connaught.
Princess Patricia of Connaught, who relinquished her title when she married commoner Alexander Ramsay.
In his latter years Prince Arthur returned to military service and continued well into World War II, where he was seen as a grandfather figure by aspiring recruits. He died in 1942 at Bagshot Park, at the age of 91, and was buried in the Royal Burial Ground at the Frogmore estate in Berkshire, England.

A daguerreotype of the aged Duke of Wellington in 1844 taken just a few years after the invention of photography. The kindly features of the Duke in old age belie his record as a tough soldier who lived through the French Revolution, the British wars in India and the Napoleonic Wars, leading his soldiers to defeat Mysore, the Marathas and the French - and living long enough afterwards for his image to be captured during the early days of photography.

Internal structure of Duke & Baron is made of mild steel coated in paint to last 30 years. Outer plates high quality stainless steel.
Duke was a family member of mine from 2007 to 2020. He was always an elegant gentleman who trusted everyone he met.
I will miss him forever.
Recently I found this amazing wool felt artist who takes commissions. I sent her over 30+ photos of Duke, and she didn't let me down. She successfully reproduced a miniature version of him.
Now he came back to me with his iconic smile. My Jerryberry would make company with him. None of us would feel lonely ever again.
Now this is one we definately had to find this spring. The Duke Of Burgundy is one of our rarer butterflies with a short season, from late April through May. The one photographed is a male, and was one of 5 males we were lucky enough to encounter yesterday,, along with one solitary female. All were fresh - having only been active for a day or two.
My first realisation was how small this butterfly is - about 30mm wingspan, which explains why it was so difficult to find. We had already met another enthusiast who exitedly announced they were flying. However it was the great Alan Thornbury who was kind enough to point them out to us, and we returned the favour by pointing out the locations where we had found the Dingy Skippers.
So all in all it's been a fabulous week for butterflies. May it continue for the rest of the season.
Members of Durham's fire department carry a "victim" to a decontaminating mist zone during an emergency response training at Duke University May 17.
About 60 members from the Duke University Police Department, Duke University Health System, Durham fire and EMS and the local Red Cross gathered in the Blue Zone parking lots near Wallace Wade Stadium to conduct the full-scale drill. Together, the crews responded to a fictitious accident involving exposure to organic phosphate chemicals that spilled from a pesticide truck.
EMS responders treated accident "victims," some of which were actors pretending to show symptoms like abdominal pain and vomiting. Crews also used three inflatable mannequins to simulate proper care for a victim exposed to chemicals. Fire department members worked to decontaminate victims by moving them on a stretcher through misting water. The mock patients were then transported to Duke University Hospital, Durham Regional Hospital and the Durham VA Medical Center as part of the four-hour exercise. The Durham City/County Local Emergency Planning Committee sponsored the exercise.
This is either Doc or Duke - I can't remember which side they were hitched on! :P He was our carriage horse in Ocala.
Doc and Duke are in the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie!

Duke Street Crossing signal box located by the Down Main line alongside Duke Street level crossing in Southport. Friday 18th January 1991
Duke Street signal box was a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company standard design fitted with a 12 lever Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company Tappet frame that opened in 1921 replacing an 1878-built Saxby & Farmer signal box located on the opposite side of the level crossing. The signal box was reduced to a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing only on 14th June 1953 when the absolute block section was extended to between Southport South and Birkdale signal boxes. The level crossing gates were replaced by manned barriers on 22nd April 1990. The signal box was closed at 19:00 on 11th March 1994 and was demolished almost immediately although officially abolished on 21st March 1994 when control of the level crossing passed to Merseyrail signal box by means of closed circuit television
The signal box carries a London Midland & Scottish Railway Company post-1935 design nameboard
