en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huascar%C3%A1n -
" Huascarán (Spanish pronunciation: [waskaˈɾan]) (Quechua: Waskaran) is a mountain in the Peruvian province of Yungay (Ancash Region), situated in the Cordillera Blanca range of the western Andes. The highest southern summit of Huascarán (Huascarán Sur) is the highest point in Peru, the northern part of Andes (north of Lake Titicaca) and in all of the Earth's Tropics. Huascarán is the fourth highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere and South America after Aconcagua, Ojos del Salado, and Monte Pissis. The mountain was named after Huáscar, a 16th-century Inca emperor who was the Sapa Inca of the Inca empire.[3]
The mountain has two distinct summits, the higher being the south one (Huascarán Sur) with an elevation of 6,768 metres (22,205 ft).[1] The north summit (Huascarán Norte) has an elevation of 6,654 metres (21,831 ft).[1] The two summits are separated by a saddle (called 'Garganta'). The core of Huascarán, like much of the Cordillera Blanca, consists of Cenozoic era granite.[4]
The Huascarán summit is one of the points on the Earth's surface farthest from the Earth's center,[5] closely behind the farthest point, Chimborazo in Ecuador.[1]
The summit of Huascarán is the place on Earth with the smallest gravitational force.[6] "

JUNE 2016 NOTES FINALLY BACK
I find labeled photos like this very useful, and also hard to find. Don't know if another one like this one is available.
As with many photos I have put considerable effort into identification using "notes" which Flickr has abandoned.
I agree with these sentiments from - yahoo.uservoice.com/users/54497033-beoirish

I have been with Flickr since 2005 and have using NOTES over the last few years to build up historical data on a very interesting schools-based Irish photo heritage project. NOTES allowed us to name the people(children/teachers) shown in class and team (sport) photographs uploaded onto our Flickr galleries. Many of which dated back decades. My Flick gallery got over 1million hits mostly in the last year when the project has started to take off with more Irish schools getting involved and more photographs being uploaded. We had big plans for the years ahead, continuing to build on the hard work already done by volunteers who inputted the names of the children and teachers in the Flickr images. It was becoming an online photo heritage library of enormous benefit to people with Irish roots from across the world as they viewed their parents, grandparents and their ancestral area.
Now this undertaking of historical significance has been destroyed by Flickr's decision to inexplicably and without warning to get rid of NOTES as a feature earlier this year. What they did from March onwards has been disgraceful. Cutting off our links to our precious data collected over many years and not allowing viewers to read the data stored via NOTES is soul destroying. They have eliminated a feature that made Flickr stand out from other online galleries.
The promise that the company made in March to restore NOTES has not been kept. Requests sent to the company for a timetable on its restoration or to provide direct contact details to senior management involved on the issue have been ignored. So how safe is our data? Will the company keep by its promise? Will the company give us an update on this situation over NOTES? Is this poll and the Help Forum only a facade? I sincerely hope so

Surely what Flickr has done is not only unethical but illegal in taking from us all the data stored on our photos using the NOTES feature? We paid for this service (in my case for many years) and now Yahoo have taken our data without giving us any forewarning. This has not happened before with any other current online social service. I spent years putting names on photos from many schools on my Flickr gallery. So how can Yahoo ask users to trust them, to input and keep data on Flickr and then destroy it? Especially whilst we signed up for a contract with them. I have written to their Help section yesterday and today. They tell me that they could do nothing and they asked me to go to a Forum. This Forum cannot help as it did not take the feature away and is not the company. I have asked them twice without success to give me details on who I can get contact in senior management and design team to know why NOTES was closed down and why it cannot be put back. Anyway want to help me, please email me at beoirish@yahoo.com

Photographer Jacob Harry Swaine was born September 1838 in Ohio. He was married circa 1860 to a Margaret (last name unknown, born circa October 1840), and the couple would have at least seven children. The first reference found to Jacob as a photographer was in the 1863 Civil War draft registration, when he listed his occupation as a photographer in Randolph County, Indiana. In 1864, he paid $15.00 for a Class B license as a photographer in Union City, Randolph County, Indiana; in 1866, he again paid $15.00 for a license as a photographer in Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana.

On 2 December 1869, he married Hannah Anna Dickinson (19 February 1848 - 25 October 1917), and the couple would have 11 children. In 1850, Elias was living on a farm in Union, Miami County, Ohio, with his parents and six siblings. The family had real estate valued at $1,600. Elisha remained in Union for the 1860 census, and was still living with his parents; he listed his occupation as teacher. Sometime after that, Elias moved to Richmond, Indiana, and in 1866, paid $25.00 for a Class B license. Elias and Hannah remained in Richmond through the 1880 census, where he continued to work as a photographer. By the time of the 1900 census, the couple and six children were living in Wayne, Wayne County, Indiana; Elisa listed his occupation as farmer, while his children worked as a teacher, a candy maker, a candlemaker, and a pinter. In 1910, Elias and Hannah were living in Richmond again, where he worked as a church janitor. Elias Mote passed away on 23 April 1911.
Identification on the verso as Emeline K. Wolf. L to R: two years, three years old.
Emeline K. Wolf was born 25 August 1885 in Pennsylvania, the daughter of John Franklin Wolf (1837-1900) and Elizabeth Kooser (1844-1931). She was married on 31 March 1909 to Leslie Burnett Bratton (1885-1959). The couple moved frequently because of Bratton’s service in the U.S. Navy. He progressed from midshipman to commander to rear admiral. He also served as acting judge advocate general for the Naval Department. After his retirement, the couple settled in Denver, Colorado, where Bratton worked in the life insurance field. Emeline Wolf passed away on 6 November 1963.
Photographer Benjamin Lomax Horsley Dabbs was born 20 November 1838 in Pennsylvania, the son of George Dabbs and Elizabeth Crowley. He was married to Sarah or Sadie Dickson in the early 1860‘s and they had at least six children. His father, George Dabbs, was one of the pioneers of the photographic supply trade in America, being first a member of the firm of L. Chapman & Co., of New York, and, subsequent to 1856, senior partner in the firm of George Dabbs & Co., of Philadelphia. In 1861 George Dabbs & Co. in Philadelphia sold supplies for ambrotypes and photographs, but he also maintained a photography studio. It was while working with his father that BLH learned the profession of photographer and also as a supplier for photographers. Dabbs came to Pittsburgh in 1861, and opened a store for the sale of ambrotype and photographic supplies. In the same year he purchased the gallery of a Mr. Rorah in Allegheny, and entered the field of artistic photography, in which he was immeditately successful. In 1862 he paid 10.00 for a Class B license as a photographer, with residence in Sewickley, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania; he renewed this license in 1863. In 1864, Dabbs moved to Pittsburgh, and established one of the largest photograph galleries in the State at 46 and 48 Sixth Street. So rapidly did the demand for his photographs increase that, in 1869, he sold out his business as a dealer in photographic materials. He reported income in 1864 of $4,150; in 1865, $4,400; and in the August-October 1866 period income of $3,005. He would remain in the Pittsburgh area as one of the best known photographers in western Pennsylvania until his death on 13 December 1899. A local histsory noted that: “He has the rare gift of discerning the most natural expression of his subjects, and his manner inspires confidence. Mr. Dabbs is quick to adopt the latest inventions, and experimental study has always had his closest attention. He stands among photographers, as with the public, in excellent repute; his energy is unabating, and clientage is constantly increasing. He resides with his family in a handsome mansion on Hiland Avenue, East End, where he has one of the finest art libraries in the city.”
Some directory addresses where BLH Dabbs had studios in Pittsburgh were as follows:
1864-1865 - 46 St. Clair

The Burgtheater at Dr.-Karl -Lueger-Ring (from now on, 2013, Universitätsring) in Vienna is an Austrian Federal Theatre. It is one of the most important stages in Europe and after the Comédie-Française, the second oldest European one, as well as the greatest German speaking theater. The original 'old' Burgtheater at Saint Michael's square was utilized from 1748 until the opening of the new building at the ring in October, 1888. The new house in 1945 burnt down completely as a result of bomb attacks, until the re-opening on 14 October 1955 was the Ronacher serving as temporary quarters. The Burgtheater is considered as Austrian National Theatre.
Throughout its history, the theater was bearing different names, first Imperial-Royal Theater next to the Castle, then to 1918 Imperial-Royal Court-Burgtheater and since then Burgtheater (Castle Theater). Especially in Vienna it is often referred to as "The Castle (Die Burg)", the ensemble members are known as Castle actors (Burgschauspieler).
History

The 'old' Burgtheater at St. Michael's Square
The original castle theater was set up in a ball house that was built in the lower pleasure gardens of the Imperial Palace of the Roman-German King and later Emperor Ferdinand I in 1540, after the old house 1525 fell victim to a fire. Until the beginning of the 18th Century was played there the Jeu de Paume, a precursor of tennis. On 14 March 1741 finally gave the Empress Maria Theresa, ruling after the death of her father, which had ordered a general suspension of the theater, the "Entrepreneur of the Royal Court Opera" and lessees of 1708 built theater at Kärntnertor (Carinthian gate), Joseph Karl Selliers, permission to change the ballroom into a theater. Simultaneously, a new ball house was built in the immediate vicinity, which todays Ballhausplatz is bearing its name.
In 1748, the newly designed "theater next to the castle" was opened. 1756 major renovations were made, inter alia, a new rear wall was built. The Auditorium of the Old Burgtheater was still a solid timber construction and took about 1200 guests. The imperial family could reach her royal box directly from the imperial quarters, the Burgtheater structurally being connected with them. At the old venue at Saint Michael's place were, inter alia, several works of Christoph Willibald Gluck, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as well as Franz Grillparzer premiered .
On 17 February 1776, Emperor Joseph II declared the theater to the German National Theatre (Teutsches Nationaltheater). It was he who ordered by decree that the stage plays should not deal with sad events for not bring the Imperial audience in a bad mood. Many theater plays for this reason had to be changed and provided with a Vienna Final (Happy End), such as Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet. From 1794 on, the theater was bearing the name K.K. Court Theatre next to the castle.
1798 the poet August von Kotzebue was appointed as head of the Burgtheater, but after discussions with the actors he left Vienna in 1799. Under German director Joseph Schreyvogel was introduced German instead of French and Italian as a new stage language.
On 12 October 1888 took place the last performance in the old house. The Burgtheater ensemble moved to the new venue at the Ring. The Old Burgtheater had to give way to the completion of Saint Michael's tract of Hofburg. The plans to this end had been drawn almost 200 years before the demolition of the old Burgtheater by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach.
The "new" K.K. Court Theatre (as the inscription reads today) at the Ring opposite the Town Hall, opened on 14 October 1888 with Grillparzer's Esther and Schiller's Wallenstein's Camp, was designed in neo-Baroque style by Gottfried Semper (plan) and Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer (facade), who had already designed the Imperial Forum in Vienna together. Construction began on 16 December 1874 and followed through 14 years, in which the architects quarreled. Already in 1876 Semper withdrew due to health problems to Rome and had Hasenauer realized his ideas alone, who in the dispute of the architects stood up for a mainly splendid designed grand lodges theater.
However, created the famous Viennese painter Gustav Klimt and his brother Ernst Klimt and Franz Matsch 1886-1888 the ceiling paintings in the two stairwells of the new theater. The three took over this task after similar commissioned work in the city theaters of Fiume and Karlovy Vary and in the Bucharest National Theatre. In the grand staircase on the side facing the café Landtmann of the Burgtheater (Archduke stairs) reproduced Gustav Klimt the artists of the ancient theater in Taormina on Sicily, in the stairwell on the "People's Garden"-side (Kaiserstiege, because it was reserved for the emperor) the London Globe Theatre and the final scene from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Above the entrance to the auditorium is Molière's The Imaginary Invalid to discover. In the background the painter immortalized himself in the company of his two colleagues. Emperor Franz Joseph I liked the ceiling paintings so much that he gave the members of the company of artists of Klimt the Golden Cross of Merit.
The new building resembles externally the Dresden Semper Opera, but even more, due to the for the two theaters absolutely atypical cross wing with the ceremonial stairs, Semper's Munich project from the years 1865/1866 for a Richard Wagner Festspielhaus above the Isar. Above the middle section there is a loggia, which is framed by two side wings, and is divided from a stage house with a gable roof and auditorium with a tent roof. Above the center house there decorates a statue of Apollo the facade, throning between the Muses of drama and tragedy. Above the main entrances are located friezes with Bacchus and Ariadne. At the exterior facade round about, portrait busts of the poets Calderon, Shakespeare, Moliere, Schiller, Goethe, Lessing, Halm, Grillparzer, and Hebbel can be seen. The masks which also can be seen here are indicating the ancient theater, furthermore adorn allegorical representations the side wings: love, hate, humility, lust, selfishness, and heroism. Although the theater since 1919 is bearing the name of Burgtheater, the old inscription KK Hofburgtheater over the main entrance still exists. Some pictures of the old gallery of portraits have been hung up in the new building and can be seen still today - but these images were originally smaller, they had to be "extended" to make them work better in high space. The points of these "supplements" are visible as fine lines on the canvas.
The Burgtheater was initially well received by Viennese people due to its magnificent appearance and technical innovations such as electric lighting, but soon criticism because of the poor acoustics was increasing. Finally, in 1897 the auditorium was rebuilt to reduce the acoustic problems. The new theater was an important meeting place of social life and soon it was situated among the "sanctuaries" of Viennese people. In November 1918, the supervision over the theater was transferred from the High Steward of the emperor to the new state of German Austria.
1922/1923 the Academy Theatre was opened as a chamber play stage of the Burgtheater. On 8th May 1925, the Burgtheater went into Austria's criminal history, as here Mentscha Karnitschewa perpetrated a revolver assassination on Todor Panitza.
The Burgtheater in time of National Socialism
The National Socialist ideas also left traces in the history of the Burgtheater. In 1939 appeared in Adolf Luser Verlag the strongly anti-Semitic characterized book of theater scientist Heinz Kindermann "The Burgtheater. Heritage and mission of a national theater", in which he, among other things, analyzed the "Jewish influence "on the Burgtheater. On 14 October 1938 was on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Burgtheater a Don Carlos production of Karl-Heinz Stroux shown that served Hitler's ideology. The role of the Marquis of Posa played the same Ewald Balser, who in a different Don Carlos production a year earlier (by Heinz Hilpert) at the Deutsches Theater in the same role with the sentence in direction of Joseph Goebbels box vociferated: "just give freedom of thought". The actor and director Lothar Müthel, who was director of the Burgtheater between 1939 and 1945, staged 1943 the Merchant of Venice, in which Werner Kraus the Jew Shylock clearly anti-Semitic represented. The same director staged after the war Lessing's parable Nathan the Wise. Adolf Hitler himself visited during the Nazi regime the Burgtheater only once (1938), and later he refused in pure fear of an assassination.
For actors and theater staff who were classified according to the Reich Citizenship Law of 1935 as "Jews ", were quickly imposed stage bans, within a few days, they were on leave, fired or arrested. The Burgtheater ensemble between 1938 and 1945 did not put up significant resistance against the Nazi ideology, the repertoire was heavily censored, only a few joined the Resistance, as Judith Holzmeister (then also at the People's Theatre engaged) or the actor Fritz Lehmann. Although Jewish members of the ensemble indeed have been helped to emigrate, was still an actor, Fritz Strassny, taken to a concentration camp and murdered there.
The Burgtheater at the end of the war and after the Second World War
In summer 1944, the Burgtheater had to be closed because of the decreed general theater suspension. From 1 April 1945, as the Red Army approached Vienna, camped a military unit in the house, a portion was used as an arsenal. In a bomb attack the house at the Ring was damaged and burned down on 12th April 1945 completely. Auditorium and stage were useless, only the steel structure remained. The ceiling paintings and part of the lobby were almost undamaged.
The Soviet occupying power expected from Viennese City Councillor Viktor Matejka to launch Vienna's cultural life as soon as possible again. The council summoned on 23 April (a state government did not yet exist) a meeting of all Viennese cultural workers into the Town Hall. Result of the discussions was that in late April 1945 eight cinemas and four theaters took up the operation again, including the Burgtheater. The house took over the Ronacher Theater, which was understood by many castle actors as "exile" as a temporary home (and remained there to 1955). This venue chose the newly appointed director Raoul Aslan, who championed particularly active.
The first performance after the Second World War was on 30 April 1945 Sappho by Franz Grillparzer directed by Adolf Rott from 1943 with Maria Eis in the title role. Also other productions from the Nazi era were resumed. With Paul Hoerbiger, a few days ago as Nazi prisoner still in mortal danger, was shown the play of Nestroy Mädl (Girlie) from the suburbs. The Academy Theatre could be played (the first performance was on 19 April 1945 Hedda Gabler, a production of Rott from the year 1941) and also in the ball room (Redoutensaal) at the Imperial Palace took place performances. Aslan the Ronacher in the summer had rebuilt because the stage was too small for classical performances. On 25 September 1945, Schiller's Maid of Orleans could be played on the enlarged stage.
The first new productions are associated with the name of Lothar Müthel: Everyone and Nathan the Wise, in both Raoul Aslan played the main role. The staging of The Merchant of Venice by Müthel in Nazi times seemed to have been fallen into oblivion.
Great pleasure gave the public the return of the in 1938 from the ensemble expelled Else Wohlgemuth on stage. She performaed after seven years in exile in December 1945 in Clare Biharys The other mother in the Academy Theater. 1951 opened the Burgtheater its doors for the first time, but only the left wing, where the celebrations on the 175th anniversary of the theater took place.
1948, a competition for the reconstruction was tendered: Josef Gielen, who was then director, first tended to support the design of ex aequo-ranked Otto Niedermoser, according to which the house was to be rebuilt into a modern gallery theater. Finally, he agreed but then for the project by Michael Engelhardt, whose plan was conservative but also cost effective. The character of the lodges theater was largely taken into account and maintained, the central royal box but has been replaced by two balconies, and with a new slanted ceiling construction in the audience was the acoustics, the shortcoming of the house, improved significantly.
On 14 October 1955 was happening under Adolf Rott the reopening of the restored house at the Ring. For this occasion Mozart's A Little Night Music was played. On 15 and on 16 October it was followed by the first performance (for reasons of space as a double premiere) in the restored theater: King Ottokar's Fortune and End of Franz Grillparzer, staged by Adolf Rott. A few months after the signing of the Austrian State Treaty was the choice of this play, which the beginning of Habsburg rule in Austria makes a subject of discussion and Ottokar of Horneck's eulogy on Austria (... it's a good country / Well worth that a prince bow to it! / where have you yet seen the same?... ) contains highly symbolic. Rott and under his successors Ernst Haeusserman and Gerhard Klingenberg the classic Burgtheater style and the Burgtheater German for German theaters were finally pointing the way .
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Burgtheater participated (with other well-known theaters in Vienna) on the so-called Brecht boycott.
Gerhard Klingenberg internationalized the Burgtheater, he invited renowned stage directors such as Dieter Dorn, Peter Hall, Luca Ronconi, Giorgio Strehler, Roberto Guicciardini and Otomar Krejča. Klingenberg also enabled the castle debuts of Claus Peymann and Thomas Bernhard (1974 world premiere of The Hunting Party). Bernhard was as a successor of Klingenberg mentioned, but eventually was appointed Achim Benning, whereupon the writer with the text "The theatrical shack on the ring (how I should become the director of the Burgtheater)" answered.
Benning, the first ensemble representative of the Burgtheater which was appointed director, continued Klingenberg's way of Europeanization by other means, brought directors such as Adolf Dresen, Manfred Wekwerth or Thomas Langhoff to Vienna, looked with performances of plays of Vaclav Havel to the then politically separated East and took the the public taste more into consideration.
Directorate Claus Peymann 1986-1999
Under the by short-term Minister of Education Helmut Zilk brought to Vienna Claus Peymann, director from 1986 to 1999, there was further modernization of the programme and staging styles. Moreover Peymann was never at a loss for critical contributions in the public, a hitherto unusual attitude for Burgtheater directors. Therefore, he and his program within sections of the audience met with rejection. The greatest theater scandal in Vienna since 1945 occurred in 1988 concerning the premiere of Thomas Bernhard's Heldenplatz (Place of the Heroes) drama which was fiercly fought by conservative politicians and zealots. The play deals with the Vergangenheitsbewältigung (process of coming to terms with the past) and illuminates the present management in Austria - with attacks on the then ruling Social Democratic Party - critically. Together with Claus Peymann Bernhard after the premiere dared to face on the stage applause and boos.
Bernard, to his home country bound in love-hate relationship, prohibited the performance of his plays in Austria before his death in 1989 by will. Peymann, to Bernhard bound in a difficult friendship (see Bernhard's play Claus Peymann buys a pair of pants and goes eating with me) feared harm for the author's work, should his plays precisely in his homeland not being shown. First, it was through permission of the executor Peter Fabjan - Bernhard's half-brother - after all, possible the already in the schedule of the Burgtheater included productions to continue. Finally, shortly before the tenth anniversary of the death of Bernard it came to the revival of the Bernhard play Before retirement by the first performance director Peymann. The plays by Bernhard are since then continued on the programme of the Burgtheater and they are regularly newly produced.
In 1993, the rehearsal stage of the Castle theater was opened in the arsenal (architect Gustav Peichl). Since 1999, the Burgtheater has the operation form of a limited corporation.
Directorate Klaus Bachler 1999-2009
Peymann was followed in 1999 by Klaus Bachler as director. He is a trained actor, but was mostly as a cultural manager (director of the Vienna Festival) active. Bachler moved the theater as a cultural event in the foreground and he engaged for this purpose directors such as Luc Bondy, Andrea Breth, Peter Zadek and Martin Kušej.
Were among the unusual "events" of the directorate Bachler
* The Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries by Hermann Nitsch with the performance of 122 Action (2005 )
* The recording of the MTV Unplugged concert with Die Toten Hosen for the music channel MTV (2005, under the title available)
* John Irving's reading from his book at the Burgtheater Until I find you (2006)
* The 431 animatographische (animatographical) Expedition by Christoph Schlingensief and a big event of him under the title of Area 7 - Matthew Sadochrist - An expedition by Christoph Schlingensief (2006).
* Daniel Hoevels cut in Schiller's Mary Stuart accidentally his throat (December 2008). Outpatient care is enough.
Jubilee Year 2005
In October 2005, the Burgtheater celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its reopening with a gala evening and the performance of Grillparzer's King Ottokar's Fortune and End, directed by Martin Kušej that had been performed in August 2005 at the Salzburg Festival as a great success. Michael Maertens (in the role of Rudolf of Habsburg) received the Nestroy Theatre Award for Best Actor for his role in this play. Actor Tobias Moretti was awarded in 2006 for this role with the Gertrude Eysoldt Ring.
Furthermore, there were on 16th October 2005 the open day on which the 82-minute film "burg/private. 82 miniatures" of Sepp Dreissinger was shown for the first time. The film contains one-minute film "Stand portraits" of Castle actors and guest actors who, without saying a word, try to present themselves with a as natural as possible facial expression. Klaus Dermutz wrote a work on the history of the Burgtheater. As a motto of this season served a quotation from Lessing's Minna von Barnhelm: "It's so sad to be happy alone."
The Burgtheater on the Mozart Year 2006
Also the Mozart Year 2006 was at the Burgtheater was remembered. As Mozart's Singspiel Die Entführung aus dem Serail in 1782 in the courtyard of Castle Theatre was premiered came in cooperation with the Vienna State Opera on the occasion of the Vienna Festival in May 2006 a new production (directed by Karin Beier) of this opera on stage.
Directorate Matthias Hartmann since 2009
From September 2009 to 2014, Matthias Hartmann was Artistic Director of the Burgtheater. A native of Osnabrück, he directed the stage houses of Bochum and Zurich. With his directors like Alvis Hermanis, Roland Schimmelpfennig, David Bösch, Stefan Bachmann, Stefan Pucher, Michael Thalheimer, came actresses like Dorte Lyssweski, Katharina Lorenz, Sarah Viktoria Frick, Mavie Hoerbiger, Lucas Gregorowicz and Martin Wuttke came permanently to the Burg. Matthias Hartmann himself staged around three premieres per season, about once a year, he staged at the major opera houses. For more internationality and "cross-over", he won the Belgian artist Jan Lauwers and his Need Company as "Artists in Residence" for the Castle, the New York group Nature Theater of Oklahoma show their great episode drama Live and Times of an annual continuation. For the new look - the Burgtheater presents itself without a solid logo with word games around the BURG - the Burgtheater in 2011 was awarded the Cultural Brand of the Year .
Since 2014, Karin Bergmann is the commander in chief.

Mabel Lillian Jontz was born 31 March 1878 in Berlin, Bureau County, Illinois, the daughter of George Jontz (born circa 1836) and Rebecca Zilpha Stickler (1847-1928). In 1900, Mabel was living with her parents and two sisters in Berlin, where her father was a day laborer. Mabel was living in Berlin with her widowed mother in 1910, and Mabel was a public school teacher. On 12 December 1913, Mabel married Edwin Daniel Ioder (1879-1969), and the couple had at least one son. Mabel and her family farmed in the Princeton, Bureau County, Illinois area until Mabel Jontz passed away on 19 October 1939.
Allen W. Dulles started his career in the U.S. Diplomatic Service in 1916. He joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during WWII. As a member of the OSS, he directed intelligence operations from Switzerland. In 1951, Dulles joined the newly created Central Intelligence Agency. President Eisenhower appointed him CIA director in 1953. During his tenure, Dulles approved the development of the U-2 spy plane. He also oversaw the construction of CIA’s Original Headquarters Building at Langley. Dulles retired in 1961. He is the longest serving director in CIA’s history.

Eva Annette Willard was born on 20 December 1857 in New Hampshire, the daughter of Solon Willard (1826-1908) and Mary Ann Mason (1831-1901). In 1860, Eva was living with her parents and two siblings in Dublin, Cheshire County, NH, where both parents were engaged in making woolen products. The family had real estate of $80 and a personal estate of $1,200. The family was still in Dublin for the 1870 census, but now had real estate valued at $1,600 and a personal estate of $1,300. Solon was still involved with the wool industry, but his wife was now working in a washboard shop. In 1880, Eva was living with her parents in Harrisville, Cheshire County, NH, and she was working in a straw shop. Solon Willard was now a farmer. On 22 January 1882, Eva married Charles Q. Nye, born 1859; Charles passed away in 1889. On 27 February 1901, Eva married John Otis Marshall, born 1840, but John passed away in 1902. Eva remained in Nashua, New Hampshire until her death from tuberculosis on 4 April 1915.
Photographer Edwin Manser White was born 29 October 1847 in New Hampshire, the son of Asa Sargent White (21 March 1817 - 26 November 1856) and Hannah Almira Towns (3 October 1822 - 7 June 1888). In 1850, Edwin was living with his parents and on sibling, Cassius, on a farm in Keene, New Hampshire; the family had real estate valued at $1,100. In 1860, Edwin was living with his widowed mother and Cassius in Hinsdale, Cheshire County, NH, where Hannah worked as milliner. By 1871, Edwin White was a photo operator in the Keene gallery of French and Sawyer. Circa 1876, Edwin married Emma E. Davis (24 September 1849 - 22 May 1936), the daughter of John L. Davis and Emma W. Harwood. By around 1881, Edwin was running his own gallery in Lane’s Block in Keene. He would remain in Keene working as a photographer until the early 1900‘s. By the time of the 1910 census, he had retired. Edwin M. White passed away from heart disease on 17 January 1912 in Keene.
Barbie Exclusives Book I is set up in the same manner as many of Margo Rana's other doll guides. She has amazing facial close-ups, mainly de-boxed dolls, and she uses box dates (although I've found a few errors with the dates). Unlike her other Barbie books, Margo Rana does not organize this guide by box date primarily, instead she sections it by store, and then by date. Since this book is only meant to cover exclusive Barbie dolls, this organization makes perfect sense. As a result, it flows very nicely and is easy to navigate through. This book covers department store specials, porcelain treasures, mail in dolls, wholesale club specials, Disney, Barbie's exclusive ethnic variants, as well as her exclusive friends and family from 1959 to 1995. There are also a few, but not many, store exclusive fashion packs and some shipping cartons pictured in this book. Each doll has an entire page, making the photos massive and clear which is ideal for identification. For the most part, each doll has a facial close-up and a full body photograph outside their box, with the back of the package behind them. There are a few stock photos, but the majority are taken by Margo Rana. Also, as with some of her other books, there are a few circumstances in which a doll does not have a body photograph, but rather only a facial close-up and a picture of the box. However, considering that each doll has his or her own page, I feel that the descriptions lack the detail and substance that Margo Rana's other doll books demonstrate. One of the things I dislike about this book is it's inclusion of Disney dolls that were store exclusives. I do not feel that Disney dolls should have been featured in this book as they are not directly linked to the Barbie line, for that matter, they have absolutely nothing to do with Barbie with the exception that Mattel reused some of Barbie's body and accessory molds. This book was not written about exclusive Mattel dolls, but rather about Barbie dolls, so I feel that the inclusion of Disney dolls is as extraneous as it would be if she had featured Monster High.
Margo Rana's Barbie Exclusives Book II is set up in an identical fashion as Book I. This book however features completely different dolls from the first edition. Unlike J. Michael Augsutyniak's exclusives guides, Margo Rana did not overlap any dolls between her two books. So buying both books makes perfect sense because you would require owning both in order to have coverage of all the exclusives. This second edition includes Toys 'R' Us exclusives, Dolls of the World, festival dolls, and customized dolls from 1959 to 1995. This book shares the same pros and cons and the first. The pictures are enormous and great quality, and the organization is superb. However, Margo Rana included random Disney dolls and Fashion Friends, and wrote descriptions that I feel were lacking the same interest and information that her other doll books provide. I also feel that there were far more dolls without full body photographs in this book than in the first. There are many circumstances where she only included a facial close-up and a picture of the back of the box. All in all, I personally recommend both books as they do a fabulous job of covering all of Barbie's exclusives up until 1995, and they are very inexpensive to buy.
I photographed this vintage tanker truck in Virginia City, NV. It is a 1947-1953 GMC Advanced Design Series 5 window medium duty truck. Any further identification beyond this is a virtual impossibility (without being able to see the dmv registration papers or interior VIN plate) since there are literally Dozens of different combinations of models that this GMC could be all of which had this same basic styling. This is a shortened version of a longer more detailed article I’m writing about GMC truck history. FYI, I am claiming full copyrights to what you read below. So, if anyone on Flickr or elsewhere wants to copy what I have written for non-commercial use in presentations, printed materials, websites, online chat forums or social media pages then feel free to do so but be Absolutely Sure to cite me first (David S Baptist TruckShots81). The same citation requirements go for all photos taken by me that I have posted on my Flickr page.
The Chevrolet Advanced Design Series pickups (also referred to as the GMC New Design series) were introduced in 1947 and were GM’s first entirely new truck design post WWII. The Chevy & GMC pickups and light or medium duty chassis-cab models continued mostly unchanged until 1954 when they were restyled with a single piece windshield and a glitzier more prominent grille. The Advanced Design Series GM trucks continued on until halfway through 1955 when the Chevrolet Task Force and GMC Blue Chip pickups were introduced. There were really not many differences between the 1947-1954 Chevy and GMC light duty trucks other than styling tweaks and engine choices. The Chevy trucks featured a 90-horsepower 216 cubic-inch ThriftMaster OHV inline six engine. Half-ton & 3/4-ton pickups were offered with a standard three-speed manual transmission, a four-speed was optional. For 1954 a new standard 235 cubic-inch OHV six-cylinder engine producing 112 horsepower and 200 ft-lb. torque was introduced. The automatic Hydra-Matic transmission also began being offered as an option for light-duty trucks.
GMC trucks used Pontiac six-cylinder engines until 1939 when they introduced their own line of GMC exclusive I6 engines. For their light to medium duty trucks GMC offered their 228-cubic-inch (3.7 L) OHV (overhead valve) I6 engine along with a 248-cubic-inch (4.1 L) I6 (with 125 HP in 1954) and a 270-cubic-inch (4.4 L) I6. The 228 engine was used in 100 through 280 models, the 248 was used in medium duty 300, 350 & 400 series trucks while the 270 “Workhorse” engine went into the heavier 450 & 470 models. The GMC I6 was replaced by their new V6 engine in 1960 which GMC continued making until 1974 (when GM ended production of all GMC built 6 cylinder engines). The GMC truck line really begins distinguishing itself from their Chevrolet cousins when it comes to heavy duty commercial trucks such as the HC series which debuted in 1949.
WW2 era GMC’s were classified in an extremely convoluted soup of never-ending numbers and/or letters. (Their fraternal twin trucks badged as Chevy’s utilized a similar wide-ranging spreadsheet of alpha-numeric model ID’s but to a lesser extent than their GMC counterparts did). Whatever combination of numbers or numbers and letters that ended up in a trucks name was usually related somehow to its payload capacity, towing capacity, engine, truck type (straight truck, tractor, coe, etc.) and/or number of drive wheels. GMC marketing wizards divided their truck line into no less than nine individual series of trucks based upon weight ratings & payload capacities. The brackets started with their lightest 100 series pickups & panels then went all the way up to their 900 series Class 8 type heavy duty big rigs. Chevrolet sold both light and medium duty conventional and cab-over-engine trucks but they never sold their own versions of the heavy-duty GMC 600, 700, 800 or 900 series trucks. These heavy duty models, which came in both conventional & coe form, had their own separate cabs and distinctive big rig front end styling.
This old GMC has to be one of their trucks with at least a 1.5-ton payload capacity because these GMC’s almost always had a 4 bar grille. Therefore, I have concluded that this GMC could be any of the following model numbers or alpha-numeric combinations most of which fall into their 300 & 400 series: It could be a GMC 300-24, FC-300, FC-301, FC-302 or FC-303, 350, 350-24 two ton conventional, 350-27, 351-24, 400-27 gas, 404-27, 450-30, HC 450 & HC 470 conventional (470 = 2.5 tons), M 450-30 conventional gas, 450-37 conventional, 470-30 conventional, M 470-30 conventional gas, etc. I’m sure I have missed a number of other model possibilities in addition to those I just listed. Funny thing about old GMC truck names from this era is that some of them completely intruded onto what is now Ford’s turf with names such as F 350 or F 450-30. So actually Ford you were a full year late to the game when it comes to trucks named F or F-series (since the Ford F-Series F1 and higher trucks came out in 1948). The sheer number of truck models that GMC offered post WW2 is completely astounding, it took me more than several days of research just to write this short article and I haven’t even gotten into the 1955 Chevy and GMC 2nd Series trucks.

Twins Frances and Sarah Barnes were born circa 1853 in Yates County, New York, the daughters of Washington Barnes (1819-1896) and Jane Augusta Mead (1819-1860), who had seven children. Washington Barnes' second wife was Mary A. Davies. In 1855 and 1860, the twins were living on a farm in Seneca, New York; the family had real estate valued at $23,100 and a personal estate of $1,935. By the time of the 1870 census, the family had real estate valued at $32,500 and a personal estate of $6,415. in 1875, Frances was living with her parents in Geneva. Sister Sarah was married and had a baby daughter. As listed in the census, her names was Sarah Impson. After 1875, I could find nothing about either of the twins.
Photographer James Gardner Vail was born 14 April 1842 in Varick, Seneca County, New York, the son of Enos Smith Vail (1815-1889) and Harriet Elizabeth Mills (1821-1876). On 3 December 1879, he married Mary Elizabeth “Libby” Boughton (28 December 1854 - 19 December 1919); the couple would have at least two children. In 1850, James was living with his parents and a sister in Varick, Seneca County, New York, where Enos Vail was a grocer. In 1862, James Vail paid $10 for a Class B license as a photographer in Seneca, Ontario County, New York; he renewed this license throughout the Civil War. In 1870, James was still living with his parents, this time in Geneva, Ontario County, New York; in that census, Enos Vail listed himself as a photographer with $3,000 in real estate and $1,000 in personal property. James Vail also listed himself as a photographer with $3,000 in personal property. In the 1875 New York census, James was living with his parents in Geneva, and was working as a photographer; he was still there in 1880, but was living with his wife Mary. By the time of the 1900 census, James Vail was living with Mary and a son in Victor, Ontario, New York, and had no occupation listed; however, in the 1910 census he listed his occupation as farmer. James G. Vail passed away on 21 October 1929.

Status: Widespread resident throughout Ireland.
Conservation Concern: Amber-listed due to concerns over the European population, which has undergoing a moderate continuing decline.
Identification: A species of falcon. A small bird of prey with long, relatively narrow wings and tail. Has a short, hooked bill for eating meat. Usually, hovers, with a fanned tail, when hunting for its prey, when it manages to keep its head stationary despite its rapid wing beats. Male and female birds have different plumages but both sexes are recognised by their brown back and inner upperwings which contrast with their dark upper outer wings. Confusion with Sparrow hawk is possible but Kestrel has narrower, straighter wings and flies using less gliding in its flight. Males have one, terminal band on the upper tail and show a blue-grey upper tail and rump; females have a series of bands on a brown upper tail. Males have a blue-grey finely streaked head and females a brown streaked head. Both sexes have finely barred underwings with dense spotting on the body. Immature birds are similar to adults, but first summer males and juveniles can be separated from adults, please refer to a field guide.
Similar Species: Sparrowhawk, Peregrine, Merlin
Call: Repeated quickly, a series of short sharp notes.
Diet: Mainly small mammals, but will also take insects and invertebrates and sometimes birds. Can see small mammal 'runs', which it scans for signs of movement.
Breeding: A widespread breeder throughout the country. Nests in trees, buildings or in cracks in cliffs. Will use old crows nests. Found in wide variety of open habitats including coasts, moor land, farmland, wetlands, roadside verges and town parks.
Wintering: Largely resident within breeding territory. Some birds move within the country, especially down from the uplands.
Where to See: Easy to see at all times of the year throughout the country. Look out for them as you drive along new roads with wide, uncut verges. They will be hunting for rodents in the long grass.
Physical characteristics
The Kestrel is a small, chestnut brown bird of prey that is frequently seen hovering over grassland. The hooked bill is a bluish colour with yellow cere. The legs are yellow. The male (or tercel) Kestrel has black-spotted chestnut brown upperparts, and a blue-grey head and tail. The tail has a single black bar at the tip. Underneath, the breast and belly are buff coloured with black spots. The female (or falcon) is darker than the male and the back, mantle and wings all have black barring. The tail has black barring along its length. The creamy underparts are more heavily streaked in black than the male. Occasionally, the head and tail may be tinged with grey. Juveniles are like females.
Habitat
European populations are among the most urbanized raptor species and occur in a wide variety of habitats, including parks, orchards, small woodlands, gorges, and ravines. In Morocco, it occurs at inland and coastal cliffs and in towns, open forests, eucalyptus plantations, palm groves, cultivated areas, and semi-arid desert steppes. The southern African race (rupicolus) inhabits a wide variety of habitats from arid to mesic, but shows a particular preference for mountainous and hilly areas. Often perches on high cliffs, telephone poles, electric lines, electricity pylons for hunting. Occurs singly or in pairs, and not particularly wary of man.
Other details
Falco tinnunculus is a widespread breeder across most of Europe, which accounts for less than a quarter of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is large (>330,000 pairs), but underwent a moderate decline between 1970-1990. Although trends were stable or increased in many countries during 1990-2000, key populations in the United Kingdom, France and Russia declined, and the species underwent a moderate decline (>10%) overall. Consequently, it is evaluated as Declining.
Feeding
Kestrels feed on small mammals, such as voles, shrews and mice, birds as large as Starlings, and invertebrates, such as beetles, grasshoppers and worms. In gardens, they will take meat scraps. In addition to having exceptionally good eyesight, Kestrels can also see ultra-violet light. This is useful in locating voles because they leave a trail of urine wherever they go and the urine glows in ultra-violet light.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 10,000,000 km². It has a large global population estimated to be 5,000,000 individuals (Ferguson-Lees et al. 2001). Global population trends have not been quantified, but populations appear to be stable (Ferguson-Lees et al. 2001) so the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Generally a solitary nester, but loose colonies of 5-50 nesting pairs occur in Morocco and Tunisia in very favorable habitat. Kestrels use old nests of other birds or nest in holes in trees, cliff ledges or even man-made structures, such as motorway bridges. 3-5 eggs are laid around late April to May, with about two days between each egg. Incubation, done only by the female, takes 26-30 days. Once hatched, the chicks grow at a very fast rate. Food is fetched by the male and brought directly to the nest; or left close by, the male then calls to the female to get her to collect the food. The young are fully fledged in 4-5 weeks after hatching, but stay with the parents to be fed for up to 4 more weeks, before they have all their hunting skills, including the ability to hover.
Migration
Mainly migratory in north and east; partially migratory or dispersive (especially juveniles) elsewhere in Europe. Endemic insular races alexandri and neglectus (Cape Verde Islands), and canariensis and dacotiae (Canary Islands) all believed sedentary. Migrants include major trans-Saharan element. Winter range extends from Britain and Ireland, southern Fenno-Scandia, Poland, Ukraine, and Caucasus, south to Gulf of Guinea, Angola, Zambia, Malawi, and less desiccated parts of Near East and Arabia. On continent, autumn migration mainly south to south-west. Juveniles begin to wander from mid-July, but main movements begin August on northern edge of range, and continue through September and October in Europe. Noted crossing Straits of Gibraltar mid-August to early November, with peak passage there last week of September and well into October. Return movement, often in loose flocks associated with Lesser Kestrel, begins southern areas in February, and most have left tropics by late April. Exact timing of movements south of Sahara probably dependent on rains and their effect on insect food. Peak passage at Cap Bon (Tunisia) late March to late April. Northernmost breeding areas in Siberia reoccupied from end of April.

The parents of the Shelden (sometimes Sheldon) children were Charles Field Shelden (1850-1918) and Ellen Jeanette Coqullette (1853-1918). They were married on 4 December 1872; pictured are six of the 11 children that the couple had.

Laidhrín glas
Green-legged Long Shank
Status: Winter visitor to estuaries from September to April from Scotland and Scandinavia.
Conservation Concern: Amber-listed due to its (potentially) small breeding population in Ireland. The European population is considered to be Secure.
Identification: A distinctive long-legged, long-billed wader, quite large, very white looking at long range, with dark wings. Bill straight with a very slight upturn. Legs a washed out grayish green. In flight, quite long-winged, shows no wingbar - just plain, blackish wings, contrasting with a long white rump and back. Not very common - typically seen singly or in very small groups.
Call: A loud "tew, tew, tew", usually calls in flight.
Diet: Feed mostly in deep water sites, channels, brackish pools and lakes, predominantly on invertebrates, particularly shrimps, crabs and Hediste sp., and small fish. They have a variety of feeding techniques, though mostly feed by pecking at the mud, water or vegetation, and catch fish by using a dash-and-lunge technique
Breeding: There have been occasional sightings of birds in suitable habitat (BoCCI listing), and one pair was confirmed to have bred in Co. Mayo on at least 2 occasions during the early 1970's (Irish Birds 1: 236-238, 1978). The main breeding range in Europe extends from pool-dominated and boulder-shrewn bogland areas of Scotland to Scots Pine woods in Scandinavia.
Wintering: Mostly coastal distribution - while the majority are found on estuaries, up to 30% are estimated to winter along non-estuarine coast.
Where to See: Shannon & Fergus Estuary in County Clare, Strangford Lough in County Down, Lough Swilly in County Donegal and Cork Harbour in County Cork all regularly support >50 birds.
Physical characteristics
Tringa with long, robust, slightly uptilted bill and dull green legs. Upperparts spotted and streaked black-brown, lesser wing coverts browner. Head, neck and upper breast streaked brown-black. In flight, shows dark wings, white back and rump. Paler above than T. melanoleuca, with longer legs than former. Female averages slightly larger. Non-breeding adult has feathers of upperparts rather uniform grey, without dark markings. Breast, foreneck and face white. Stronger contrasting dark wing coverts. Juvenile resembles non-breeding adult, but upperparts browner with buff fringes and neck and breast somewhat more streaked.
Habitat
Taiga zone, in forest clearings, woody moorland or open bogs and marshes, including blanket bog. Characteristic of northern and middle taiga. On migration, occurs at inland flooded meadows, dried-up laces, sandbars and marshes. Winters in variety of fershwater and marine wetlands, including estuaries, sandy or muddy coastal flats, salt marshes, mangroves, swamps and lakes. Less often on open coast, sometimes along quiet stretches of rivers.
Other details
Tringa nebularia is a widespread breeder in northern Europe, which accounts for less than a quarter of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is relatively small (<160,000 pairs), but was stable between 1970-1990. Although the species declined in the United Kingdom during 1990-2000, populations in the rest of its European range were stable or increased, and the species remained stable overall.
This wader inhabits marshes and wet clearings in taiga, from Scotland and Scandinavia to Kamchatka. Its European populations are estimated at 68000 breeding pairs, Russia not included. They are wintering from the Mediterranean to South Africa
Feeding
Diet chiefly insects, especially beetles, but also crustaceans, annelids, molluscs, amphibians and small fish. Usually pecks and probes in shallow water walking with steady pass, sometimes running with erratic changes of direction. When feeding on fish may forage socially in dense flocks of conspecifics or mixed with other tringines, moving erratically while pecking at prey or running synchronously in one direction, ploughing or scything bill through water. Singly or in small to large flocks of up to 100's. Feeds diurnally and nocturnally.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 10,000,000 km². It has a large global population estimated to be 400,000-1,600,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2002). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Egg laying from April to June. Usually monogamous, though some males bigamous. High degree of site fidelity, but new generations don't built near parent nest (no natal philopatry). Nest is a shallow scrape lined with some plant material, on ground in the open, typically placed next to piece of dead wood. 4 eggs are laid in a single brood, incubation 24 days done by both sexes, but males with two mates normally do little incubation. Chick pale grey marked above with fuscous black, white belly.
Migration
Migratory. Like other Tringa, will migrate on broad fronts overland. Especially in western Europe, however, largest numbers pass through coastal (especially estuarine) sites. Small numbers winter in western Europe, in Mediterranean basin, and on Atlantic coast of north-west Africa; however, majority of west Palearctic birds are trans-Saharan migrants (penetrating south to Cape Province). Further east, winter range extends to Indian Ocean islands and across southern Asia from Iraq to eastern China and Philippines, and through Melanesia to Australia. One parent (usually ), but not always) leaves territory in late June or first half July, when young c. 4 weeks old; other parent and young depart when latter fully fledged, 3-6 weeks later. Main autumn passage through northern and temperate Europe from 2nd week of July to late October. Return movement begins March in Africa; passage through Europe (in general more direct, and without large coastal concentrations noted in autumn) evident in April, though main movement through North Sea countries and into Fenno-Scandia in first half of May. Some non-breeders remain south all summer.
