you weren't the one, looks like. The rubber duck regata came and went and my little duckies didn't bring home the bacon. Maybe they were just too chicken to stick their necks out and play turkey. I wish the refs would give my ducks a little goose to get them moving downriver faster.

This girl came out to meet me when she saw me poking around at the store entrance and trying to take some pictures. There was a gorgeous collage copiously done up with dried red chilly peppers at the store entrance which unfortunately did not turn out well as I was not using my regular camera. Seeing that I was only photographing here store anddid not seem inclined to buy anything, the kindly lass went back deep into the store and conitinued with her peerig into ther smartphone.

The Venetian Ghetto was the area of Venice in which Jews were compelled to live under the Venetian Republic. It is from its name in Italian ("ghetto"), that the English word "ghetto" is derived: in the Venetian language it was named "ghèto". The Venetian Ghetto (incidentally, the first Ghetto) was instituted in 1516, though political restrictions on Jewish rights and residences existed before that date.
Though it was home to a large number of Jews, the population living in the Venetian Ghetto never assimilated to form a distinct, "Venetian Jewish" ethnicity. Four of the five synagogues were clearly divided according to ethnic identity: separate synagogues existed for the German (the Scuola Grande Tedesca), Italian (the Scuola Italiana), Spanish and Portuguese (the Scuola Spagnola), and Levantine Sephardi communities (The Scola Levantina). The fifth, the Scuola Canton, is believed to have been either French, or a private synagogue for the families who funded its construction. Today, there are also populations of Ashkenazic Jews in Venice, mainly Lubavitchers who operate one of two kosher foodstores, a yeshiva, and the aforementioned Chabad synagogue.
In September 1938, the promulgation of the fascist racial laws deprived the Jews of civil rights, and the Jewish community entered a difficult period under the leadership first of Aldo Finzi and subsequently (from June 1940 onwards) of Professor Giuseppe Jona.
In September 1943, Italy changed from being an ally of Nazi Germany into an occupied country, and the Nazis started a systematic hunt for Jews in Venice as in other Italian cities. On 17 September, Professor Jona committed suicide rather than hand over to the German authorities a list of Jewish community residents.
In November 1943, Jews were declared 'enemy aliens' in accordance with the manifesto of the Italian Social Republic, to be arrested and their property seized. Although some Jews managed to escape to neutral Switzerland or Allied-occupied southern Italy, over two hundred were rounded up, most between 5 December 1943 (when approximately 150 were arrested) and late summer 1944. They were held at the city's Marco Foscarini college, the women's prison on Giudecca, the prison at Santa Maria Maggiore and subsequently at Fossoli concentration camp, before being deported, in most cases, to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944. Those arrested later in 1944 included some 20 residents of a Jewish convalescence home, the Casa di Ricovero Israelitica (including Venice's Chief Rabbi, Adolfo Ottolenghi, who chose to follow the fate of his fellow deportees) and 29 from a Jewish hospital. Most of those arrested in the summer of 1944 spent time incarcerated at Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp, Trieste. Although a figure of two hundred and five Jewish deportees from Venice between November 1943 and August 1944 is often quoted, one source give the higher figure of 246, which includes those deported to Trieste, some of whom died there, and a smaller number of arrests after this point up until the end of the war. Only 8 Jewish residents of Venice emerged from the death camps. The 1938 Jewish population of Venice (2000) was reduced by the war's end to 1500, or in some sources 1050.
What was Europe's first ghetto is now a lively and popular district of the city where the religious and administrative institutions of the Jewish Community and its five synagogues still persist.
Today, the Ghetto is still a center of Jewish life in the city. The Jewish Community of Venice, that counts 500 people, is of such cultural vitality that it is often a centre for the cultural life of the entire city.

Eco-friendly Midlands Co-op supermarket at Oakham, Rutland- they harvest rainwater, use special refidgeration units which use a lot less power (and use the by-product heat to warm the building), gross grass on the roof to insulate, use computer controlled ventilation (all natural where possible), even the lighting is automatic and only operates when needed (computers monitor light levels and open/close blinds on the windows where needed).

Three sprigs of mint in three brown bottles grace the windowsill in the toilet at Melbourne's Threefold Foodstore and Eatery.
I think that's just a wanked-up word for "cafe".
I had the spatchcock, thank you very much.

Gentlemen -- Are you having fun and thoroughly enjoying the tenth hour of your Solo Vegas Vacation? Good! So now, what do you think of your first close look at the fabulous and expansive Eataly Italian Marketplace & Food Hall? This massive Italian food court was still under construction last Spring when you and your very lovely lady were vacationing on the Las Vegas Strip. You and your very lovely lady really enjoyed staying here in 2015 and 2016 when it was the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino, so how well do you like this place now in 2019 as the Park MGM?
Like many of the other foodstores in this area this shop is advertising it's fish sales on Fridays and Saturdays reflecting local observances to various religious and cultural traditions. The huge shiny cooking pots on display in the window might also suggest that curries, stews and soups are common cuisine in this area. The Halal meat certification suggests that the area is frequented by a significant Muslim population.
Another photo of the Mansell Beard (Ancaster) collection going back to 1992 we have the Queens chauffer filling up at A.C Williams in Ancaster Lincolnshire.
Only a small section of the canopy can be seen with the Fina branding.
On the left of the photo we see one of the Tokheim forecourt pumps, these would later be replaced with more modern Gilbarco Highlines when the site would rebrand to Rix in the late 1990's.
Sadly in December 2011 A.C Williams would go into liquidation and a few years after the site would be demolished, the site now a Co-op foodstore and housing.
Thanks to Mansell Beard for permission to reproduce this photo.

Someone wanted me to take photos of this intersection, so here it is!
Not too much to see... a neighbourhood mini-mall, the sign for the Parkwood Hills real estate development, traffic lights and cars.
