Weigela is a small genus of about 12 species of deciduous shrubs in the family Caprifoliaceae, growing to 1-5 m tall. All are natives of eastern Asia.
The leaves are 5-15 cm long, ovate-oblong with an acuminate tip, and with a serrated margin. The flowers are 2-4 cm long, with a five-lobed white, pink, or red (rarely yellow) corolla, produced in small corymbs of several together in early summer. The fruit is a dry capsule containing numerous small winged seeds.
Weigela species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail.
The genus is named after the German scientist Christian Ehrenfried Weigel.
The British Weigela national collection is held at Sheffield Botanical Gardens; along with the national collection of the closely related Diervilla genus.[1] The german Weigela national collection is held at Sichtungsgarten Weigela in Buckow, Maerkische Schweiz [2]
Several of the species are very popular ornamental shrubs in gardens, although species have been mostly superseded by hybrids (crosses between W. florida and other Asiatic species).
This mural, entitled' "Cooperation", was painted in 1936 by Emil Bisttram under the TRAP (Treasury Relief Art Project) for the Roswell, NM United States Courthouse. When that building was destroyed, the mural was moved to the US CH-PO in ABQ where it was displayed on the 6th floor. It has since been restored and moved to the 1st floor entry way outside of the security part of the building.

These 39 pictures entitled "Colors of Fall in Yardley . . ." were all taken around my home in late October, pre-Hurricane Sandy. Number 7968 is a photo of the tree that came crashing down on two unsuspecting cars parked underneath it at the height of the hurricane.
Fall happens to be my favorite time of year and not just because pumpkin flavors are all the rage. From late September to early November, Mother Nature puts on her most spectacular show. Trees of all types slowly transition from their standard leaves to shades of red, orange, gold, brown, and even purple. Landscapes across the country pop with vibrant colors and serve as a brief reminder just how beautiful nature can be.
It's a great time for hiking and scenic drives and below are all the resources you need to make your trip happen. Whether you want to know just why leaves change their colors or are looking for where to see specific shades, the answers are here.
So Why Do Leaves Change Colors?
The answer lies in one word: chlorophyll. It's the chemical that gives leaves their green color. Chlorophyll is also responsible for photosynthesis - a process where plants turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar. Confused? Let's back up to the basics.
Trees take water from the ground using their roots. They also take carbon dioxide from the air. But trees need oxygen and glucose to grow big and healthy. In order to do that, they use sunlight to turn the water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. That's photosynthesis. And chlorophyll helps make it happen.
When summer ends and autumn begins, there is less sunlight since the days get shorter. This is an important hint for trees and other plants to prepare themselves for the winter. Since there isn't enough light and water during the winter for photosynthesis, trees go into rest-mode and will feed off food they have stored up over summer. While processes shut down, chlorophyll starts to disappear from the leaves, taking away the green color. As the green fades, the leaves show other colors that have been there all along - yellow and orange. They have been hidden all summer by chlorophyll and during the fall, it is their time to shine!
You're probably wondering about the other signature colors of autumn - red, purple, and brown. Well, in some trees, such as maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. That glucose is turned into a red color from the sunlight and the cool nights of autumn. The brown color of trees, such as oaks, is made from tannin - a waste product left in the leaves.
The brilliance of colors you see every fall is directly related to weather conditions. The brightest colors are seen when late summer is dry, and autumn has bright sunny days and cool evenings. A good supply of rainfall also keeps the leaves on trees longer and helps to enhance the color.

The sign is entitled "Memorial Alter."
The text reads:
"In the days following the attacks on the World Trade Center, frantic friends and relatives of those who were unaccounted for created fliers with their loved one's photographs and contact information, which they handed out on the streets around Ground Zero or taped to the fences and walls around city hospitals and rescue centers.
"At St. Paul's, volunteers turned a small alter at the chapel's entrance into a heart-wrenching memorial by covering it, first with the posters about the missing that were left outside the church, and later with the Mass Cards that were brought here in the weeks and months following the tragedy.
"Today, the consecrated alter has been returned to its sacramental use and this replica now holds those precious mementos. It is our hope that they serve to make very real, individual and personal the devastation and loss that was suffered on September 11, 2001.
"This memorial also honors all victims of war and terrorism everywhere and all who have given their lives in the line of duty."

Each pouch is one-of-a-kind, so the sizes vary a bit. This one is 3.5" x 5.5" -- just a little bit bigger than your standard cellphone or coin purse. Every belt bag is big enough for your iPhone, or iPod Touch and lots of models of smartphones. Possibly also a small lip balm or other (ahem) personal item. A point-and-shoot camera would probably fit in here, too.

The book is entitled 'Calling on Edna.' The title patch is made of red calf leather with gold lettering. Volume I is denoted by a single dot; Volume II has two.
The books were bound by a lady who works in one of Harvard College's libraries. She also does conservation work for their collections.
The full leather binding is a true binding. Most published books today are case 'bindings,' but nothing is really bound - it's mostly glued. Here the signatures are sewn to linen cords. Those cords are then woven into the boards that form the books covers. The text block is literally bound to the book cover. The bands seen on the spine are actual cords, rather than cardboard or leather inserts commonly seen on today's higher end books.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadnettle
Lamium (deadnettle) is a genus of about 40-50 species of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae, of which family it is the type genus. They are all herbaceous plants native to Europe, Asia, and north Africa, but several have become very successful weeds of crop fields and are now widely naturalised across the temperate world.
The genus includes both annual and perennial species; they spread by both seeds and stems rooting as they grow along the ground.
The common name refers to their superficial resemblance to the unrelated stinging nettles, but unlike those, they do not have stinging hairs and so are harmless or apparently "dead".
Lamiums are frost hardy and grow well in most soils. Flower colour determines planting season and light requirement: white- and purple-coloured flowered species are planted in spring and prefer full sun. The yellow-flowered ones are planted in fall (autumn) and prefer shade. They often have invasive habits and need plenty of room. Propagate from seed or by division in early spring

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geranium
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. It is found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. These attractive flowers will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semi-ripe cuttings in summer, by seed or by division in autumn or spring.
The species Geranium viscosissimum is considered to be protocarnivorous.
The name "cranesbill" derives from the appearance of the seed-heads, which have the same shape as the bill of a crane. The genus name is derived from the Greek γέρανος, géranos, or γερανός, geranós, crane. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. Their rose, pink to blue or white flowers have 5 petals.
Cranesbills are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail and Mouse Moth.
Confusingly, "geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which were formerly classified in the cranesbill genus. In the United States, true Geraniums are frequently distinguished from the less hardy Pelargoniums as (rather redundantly) "hardy geraniums" by gardeners and in the horticultural trade. One can make the distinction between the two by looking at the flowers: Geranium has symmetrical flowers, while Pelargonium has irregular or maculate petals. Other former members of the genus are now classified in genus Erodium, including the plants known as filarees in North America.

St Pancras New Church (so entitled to differentiate it from an older building that remains several blocks away to the north east) was built in 1819-22 to the designs of William & Henry Inwood and is a remarkable example of the then prevalent taste for Neo-Classical architecture. Few churches can claim to be as Grecian in style as this one, which boasts the unique features of two porticoes flanking the east end copied directly from the famous caryatid porch of the Erectheum on the Athenian Acropolis, complete with column figures in terracotta (molded in sections around cast-iron columns). The spindly octagonal tower is a major landmark to visitors arriving at nearby Euston Station just over the main road (as it has welcomed me on many visits to the capital).
The interior of the church continues the theme of Classical severity, with a broad flat coffered ceiling spanning the nave with the apse beyond adding a touch of enrichment. The Victorian glass in the windows does make the space a little gloomier than it could be. The galleries remain and create side aisles beneath them but otherwise the interior retains the impression of a large unified space.
I am unsure what normal opening times are for this church but I believe it is usually open in office hours during the day.

INTRODUCTION
This slideshow accompanies a paper entitled Solving The Great Steel Caper: DEW-Demolition Contrary Evidence By Dr. Gregory S. Jenkins.
I have chronologically organized 110 photographs from various perspectives to illustrate some points. The chronology with the associated time-stamp allows the viewer to gauge the variations in perspective even though the differing views are of the same event. True differences in the character of the debris plumes and clouds which develop over time can be quickly and directly observed. Misleading perspectives can easily be judged based upon other photographs.
The main points emphasized in the slideshow are the following:
-The north and south tower plumes before collapse traveled virtually horizontally with the prevailing wind
-during and after the collapse of the south tower, the smoke and debris did not move upwards since the smoke emanating from the north tower which blew directly over the south tower remained unperturbed
-during and after the collapse of the north tower, the smoke and debris did not move upwards since the generated debris never rose above the position of the original plume from the fires
-during and immediately after the collapses, all debris moved horizontally outward and downward due to the expulsion of air from the collapsing buildings. Clouds of dust moved outward resembling a pyroclastic surge, a specific type of low density flow to be discussed, engulfed lower Manhattan. Generated air currents responded to the local topology with some currents moving upward along the face of buildings, while other air currents were channeled through the canyons of NYC. Turbulence maintained particles in suspensions while concurrently transporting the particles horizontally.
-As the debris flows slowed, the larger particles settled quickly leaving behind the finer particles giving the debris clouds the appearance of a ‘diffuse’ cumulus like cloud. The resemblance, which will be discussed later, is not serendipitous: the cloud density and particle sizes are about the same as that of a cumulus cloud
-some of the smaller particles continued to be carried by the prevailing air currents
-the wind currents at 1400’ were about the same as those at 600’ since no significant sheer forces manifested in elongated clouds
-fires began developing within 20 minutes or so after the collapse of the north tower and increased in intensity. As the original debris cloud settled and drifted from ground zero, the whitish plume was replaced by a carbonaceous plume mainly from fires in the vicinity of WTC 5, 6, and 7.

Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Early in 1909, a group of laborers who had organized a club named 'The Tramps' went to the Pythian Theater to see a musical comedy performed by the Smart Set. The comedy included a skit entitled, 'There Never Was and Never Will Be a King Like Me,' about the Zulu Tribe.
That is how Zulu began, as the many stories go...
Years of extensive research by Zulu's staff of historians seem to indicate that Zulu's beginning was much more complicated than that. The earliest signs of organization came from the fact that the majority of these men belonged to a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community where, for a small amount of dues, members received financial help when sick or financial aid when burying deceased members.
Conversations and interviews with older members also indicate that in that era the city was divided into wards, and each ward had its own group or 'Club.' The Tramps were one such group. After seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place (a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street), and emerged as Zulus. This group was probably made up of members from the Tramps, the Benevolent Aid Society and other ward-based groups.
While the 'Group' marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William Story as King.
The group wore raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee-singing quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume of 'lard can' crown and 'banana stalk' scepter has been well-documented. The Kings following William Story (William Crawford - 1910, Peter Williams - 1912, and Henry Harris - 1914) were similarly attired.
1915 heralded the first use of floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss and carried four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu parade today.
Zulu's 2017 Mardi Gras theme is 'Stop the Violence'
