Only in Edinburgh! One minute you are admiring the architecture on the historic Royal Mile near the castle when a group of youngsters dresed as romans singing modern songs come past much to the amusement of the many japanese tourists.
They are members of Cambridge Fools who were advertising their comedy musical entitled When in Rome where you are immersed in a world torn between Ancient Roman culture and modern 90's pop.
The Postcard
A Gibson Lines postcard that was published by the Gibson Art Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The card was posted in Cincinnati using a 1 cent stamp on Tuesday the 20th. December 1921.
It was sent to:
Mr. & Mrs. N. H. (surname deleted),
Felicity,
Ohio.
Felicity is a village in Franklin Township, Clermont County, Ohio. The population was 651 individuals at the 2020 census.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Uncle and Aunt,
Hope this card finds you
both well, and that your
Xmas stocking will be
full to overflowing.
Ada and Charlie."
The Significance of Holly
The European holly, Ilex aquifolium is commonly referenced at Christmas time, and is sometimes referred to by the name Christ's thorn.
In many Western Christian cultures, holly is a traditional Christmas decoration, used especially in wreaths and illustrations, for instance on Christmas cards.
Since medieval times the plant has carried Christian symbolism, as expressed in the Christmas carol "The Holly and the Ivy", in which the holly is said to represent Jesus and the ivy to represent the Virgin Mary.
Christians have identified a wealth of symbolism in its form:
The sharpness of the leaves help to recall the crown of thorns worn by Jesus; the red berries serve as a reminder of the drops of blood that were shed for salvation; and the shape of the leaves, which resemble flames, can serve to reveal God's burning love for His people.
Combined with the fact that holly maintains its bright colors during the Christmas season, it naturally came to be associated with the Christian holiday.
Mistletoe
Mistletoe is the common name for obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. They are attached to their host tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they extract water and nutrients from the host plant.
There are hundreds of species of mistletoe which mostly live in tropical regions.
The name mistletoe originally referred to the species Viscum album (European mistletoe); it is the only species native to the British Isles and much of Europe. The genus Viscum is not native to North America, but Viscum album was introduced to Northern California in 1900.
European mistletoe has smooth-edged, oval, evergreen leaves borne in pairs along the woody stem, and waxy, white berries that it bears in clusters of two to six.
-- Mistletoe Life Cycle
Mistletoe species grow on a wide range of host trees, some of which experience side effects including reduced growth, stunting, and loss of infested outer branches.
A heavy infestation may also kill the host plant. Viscum album successfully parasitizes more than 200 tree and shrub species.
All mistletoe species are hemiparasites, because they do perform some photosynthesis for some period of their life cycle. However, in some species its contribution is very nearly zero.
A mistletoe seed germinates on the branch of a host tree or shrub, and in its early stages of development it is independent of its host. The adhesive on the seed tends to darken the bark. On having made contact with the bark, the hypocotyl, with only a rudimentary scrap of root tissue at its tip, penetrates it, a process that may take a year or more. In the meantime the plant is dependent on its own photosynthesis.
Only after it reaches the host's conductive tissue may it begin to rely on the host for its needs. Later, it forms a haustorium that penetrates the host tissue and takes water and nutrients from the host plant.
Most mistletoe seeds are spread by birds who eat the 'seeds' (in actuality drupes). Of the many bird species that feed on them, the mistle thrush is the best-known in Europe.
Depending on the species of mistletoe and the species of bird, the seeds are regurgitated from the crop, excreted in their droppings, or stuck to the bill and causing the bird to have to wipe it off onto a branch.
The seeds are coated with a sticky material called viscin. Some viscin remains on the seed and when it touches a stem, it sticks tenaciously. The viscin soon hardens and attaches the seed firmly to its future host, where it germinates and its haustorium penetrates the sound bark.
-- Toxicity of Mistletoe
There are 1500 species of mistletoe, varying widely in toxicity to humans; the European mistletoe (Viscum album) is more toxic than the American mistletoe (Phoradendron serotinum).
In European mistletoe (Viscum), viscumin is the dangerous active toxin. It acts by irreversibly inhibiting ribsomal protein synthesis in cells, which leads to the death of the affected cell, tissue damage in the area of exposure from mass cell death in the very short term, with the potential for organ failure and death depending on the level of exposure.
Mistletoe has been used historically in medicine for its supposed value in treating arthritis, high blood pressure, epilepsy, and infertility.
-- The Cultural Importance of Mistletoe
Mistletoe is relevant to several cultures. Pagan cultures regarded the white berries as symbols of male fertility, with the seeds resembling semen. The Celts, particularly, saw mistletoe as the semen of Taranis, while the Ancient Greeks referred to mistletoe as "oak sperm".
In Roman mythology, mistletoe was used by the hero Aeneas to reach the underworld.
The Romans associated mistletoe with peace, love, and understanding, and hung it over doorways to protect the household.
In the advent of the Christian era, mistletoe in the Western world became associated with Christmas as a decoration under which lovers are expected to kiss, as well as with protection from witches and demons.
Mistletoe continued to be associated with fertility and vitality through the Middle Ages, and by the eighteenth century it had also become incorporated into Christmas celebrations around the world. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe is referred to as popular among servants in late eighteenth-century England.
The serving class of Victorian England is credited with perpetuating the tradition. The tradition dictated that a man was allowed to kiss any woman standing underneath mistletoe, and that bad luck would befall any woman who refused the kiss.
One variation on the tradition stated that with each kiss a berry was to be plucked from the mistletoe, and the kissing must stop after all the berries had been removed.
Mistletoe is the floral emblem of the U.S. state of Oklahoma, and the flower of the UK county of Herefordshire.
Every year, the UK town of Tenbury Wells holds a mistletoe festival and crowns a 'Mistletoe Queen'.
Sir George Fuller
So what else happened on the day that Ada and Charlie posted the card?
Well, on the 20th. December 1921, Sir George Fuller took office as the new Premier of the Australian state of New South Wales, seven days after Premier James Dooley had lost a vote of confidence in the state legislature.
However, only seven hours after Fuller had formed a government and had become the head of government as premier, he lost another vote of confidence in the legislature and was not seated.
On the 27th. December 1921, James Dooley was appointed premier again after forming a new government.
The Russian Famine Relief Act
Also on that day, the U.S. Senate voted to pass the Russian Famine Relief Act, and approved the appropriation of $20,000,000 ($300 million in 2021) for that purpose.
The vote was pursuant to the request of President Harding, subject to the condition that all purchases of food be made in the U.S. and shipped to the Soviet Union in American vessels.
Julius Richard Petri
The 20th. December 1921 also marked the death at the age of 69 of the German microbiologist Julius Richard Petri.
Julius, who was born on the 31st. May 1852, is generally credited with inventing the device known as the Petri dish, which is named after him, while working as assistant to bacteriologist Robert Koch.
-- Julius Richard Petri - The Early Years
Petri was born in the town of Barmen (now a district of the city of Wuppertal), Germany. He came from a distinguished family of scholars, and was the eldest son of Philipp Ulrich Martin Petri (1817–1864), a professor in Berlin, and Louise Petri.
Petri's grandfather, Viktor Friedrich Leberecht Petri (1782–1857), was also a scholar, being both a director and professor at the Collegium Carolinum in Brunswick (Braunschweig), Germany.
Petri initially studied medicine at the Kaiser Wilhelm Academy for Military Physicians (1871–1875) and received his medical degree in 1876.
He continued his studies at the Charité Hospital in Berlin where his thesis on the chemistry of protein urine tests earned him his doctorate.
-- Julius Richard Petri - The Later Years
Julius was on active duty as a military physician until 1882, continuing then as a reservist. In 1886 he was a curator at the German Hygiene Museum where he subsequently worked under Robert Koch.
From 1877 to 1879 Julius was assigned to the Imperial Health Office in Berlin, where he became an assistant to Robert Koch. On the suggestion of Angelina Hesse, the New York-born wife of another assistant, Walther Hesse, the Koch laboratory began to culture bacteria on agar plates.
Petri then invented the standard culture dish, or Petri plate, and further developed the technique of agar culture in order to purify or clone bacterial colonies derived from single cells. This advance made it possible to rigorously identify the bacteria responsible for diseases.
Petri's first wife, Anna Riesch, died in 1894 during childbirth, and in 1897, he married Elizabeth Turk.
-- The Importance of the Petri Dish
Petri dishes are extensively used as research plates for microbiology studies. The dish is partially filled with warm liquid containing agar, and a mixture of specific ingredients that may include nutrients, blood, salts, carbohydrates, dyes, indicators, amino acids and antibiotics.
After the agar cools and solidifies, the dish is ready to receive a microbe-laden sample in a process known as "inoculation" or "plating". For virus or phage cultures, a two-step inoculation is needed: bacteria that is grown acts like a host for the viral inoculum.
The bacterial sample is diluted on the plate in a process called "streaking". This involves a sterile plastic stick, or a wire loop which is sterilized by heating; the loop is used to collect the first sample, and then to make a streak on the dish with the agar.
Then, using a fresh stick and sterilized loop, the new loop is passed through that initial streak, spreading the plated bacteria onto the dish.
This process is repeated a third time, and if necessary a fourth, resulting in individual bacterial cells that are isolated on the plate, which are then able to divide and grow into single "clonal" bacterial colonies.
Petri plates can be incubated upside down (agar on top), which can help lessen the risk of contamination from airborne particles containing microbes settling, and to decrease the chance of condensation from water accumulating and disturbing the microbes being cultured.
The basic design of the Petri dish has not changed since being created by Petri in 1887. It was a challenge to keep dishes free of dust, and extra bacteria could collect and alter samples; heavy bell jars used for this purpose proved ineffective, and so six years later Petri created a transparent plate slightly larger than the dish, which served as a transparent lid.
The Petri name has come into public prominence following a spate of serious food poisoning incidents on cruise liners; ships operating buffets in their restaurants have been referred to as 'floating Petri dishes.'
-- Julius Petri's Other Work
Not only was Petri responsible for many innovations and inventions, he also published a variety of papers including 150 on the topic of bacteriology and hygiene, which contributed significantly to information and concepts related to them.
Petri's papers detailed a number of steps in understanding microbiology, not limited to the study of microorganisms, but also including biological pathways and mechanisms.
In his paper of 1876 Julius considered questions regarding proteins found within urine, seeking ways that they could be used to identify conditions or functions.

In nepali culture, the women are burdened with responsibilities and (sometimes) meaningless traditions. BUT, the awesome thing about this whole thing is that the Nepalese women are taught to take up these responsibilities and duties gracefully. Nepalese women will always have my respect. :)

Originally a Home Brewery pub, hence the letters HB on the gable. A building of similar floor area and shape is shown on the 1881 OS map, but it is not shown as a pub until the 1955 edition. Judging by its style it is probably Victorian but the white glazed tiles suggest it may have been 'modernised' in the early part of the 20th century.
Near Lumphini park you will find Regents House, this is where visa’s are dealt with for Thai nationals wanting to visit the U.K. The address is VFS Global in Thailand, Regent House 1st Floor, 183 Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand. Opening hours hours: Monday 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Email info.ukth@vfshelpline.com
Visiting this park for the first time in October 2013 it was surprising to see many tents pitched in the park, these belonged to a rally of the so called People's Army against Thaksin Regime. General Preecha Iamsuphan, a core member of the People's Army, rang a bell to start Sunday's political rally in Lumphini Park. National police chief Adul Saengsingkaew said there were about 4,000 demonstrators in the park . This community had shops, stalls, hairdressers, in fact a small village commune had been set up near to the park entrance. It was ridiculous to see. I can never understand why the Thai government allowed it.
Lumphini Park is a 142 acre park in Bangkok, Thailand. The park offers rare open public space, trees and playgrounds in the Thai capital and contains an artificial lake where visitors can rent a variety of boats. The boats look tiring, they are pedal boats, I prefer boats with some form of power. The lake is massive and makes a picturesque spot for a picnic. Paths around the park totalling about 2.5 km in length are a popular area for evening joggers and cyclist. Officially, cycling is only permitted during the day between the times of 10 am to 3 pm. There is a smoking ban throughout the park, and dogs are prohibited. Many cyclist use this park to full advantage it seems. So watch out crossing the roads.
I found it peaceful, restful but boring. The gardens were not what I expected. It just needs some tender loving care and more plants. Lumphini Park was created in the 1920’s by King Rama VI on royal property. The park was named after Lumbini, the birthplace of the Lord Buddha in Nepal, Lumbini, is one of the fourteen zones of Nepal and is home to Lumbini site, the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became the historical Buddha and founder of the Buddhist philosophy.
A statue of king Rama V1 stands at the south western entrance to the park. at the time of its creation it stood on the outskirts of the city. Today it lies in the heart of the main business district and is in the Lumphini sub district, on the north side of Rama IV Road, between Ratchadamri Road and Witthayu Road. It has Bangkok's first public library and dance hall. During wintertime, the Palm Garden of Lumphini Park becomes the site for the annual Concert in the Park festival featuring classical music by the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra and other bands.
BTS Sky Train Silom Line Sala Daeng Station is here and the MRT ( Bangkok ) Lumphini Station and Si Lom Station are also nearby. It is the first public park of Bangkok, a heritage of King Rama VI given to his people. King Rama VI started to organize an exhibition of local products and natural resources in the winter of 1925. The construction included a huge central lake, with island, roads and buildings. Unfortunately, this exhibition was cancelled due to the untimely death of King Rama VI. Later, the project was revived in the reign of King Rama VII. The area of 14.40 hectares in the south of the park was rented to be an amusement park called Vanaruengrom, of which the rental fee was used for development of the rest area to be public park.
Giving this land to the government, King Rama VII stated that the land could be used as the public park only. However, during the World War II the park became the Japanese soldiers camp. After the war in 1952 - 1954, it was a venue for the celebration of the constitution and the Miss Siam. The Royal Monument of King Rama VI. This was built in 1942 to commemorate the King who kindly gave this park to his people. The King Rama VI Monument stands at the gate to the Lumphini Park, overlooking the busy Saladaeng junction. Corrado Feroci, an Italian sculptor completed the monument with the help of four Thai artists on 7 June 1941. It was a fitting tribute that Feroci designed this monument, as it was King Rama VI who requested the Italian government for an artist to help teach and promote art in Thailand. Feroci answered the call of duty in 1923. The monument is a statue of King Rama VI standing in his ceremonial uniform with a sword, on a high pedestal surrounded by fountains. An open tiled area where public ceremonies are held surrounds the monument.

Rocky è arrivato in canile circa 3 settimane fa'. Quel giorno eravamo li', quando l'abbiamo visto scendere dal furgone tutti gli sguardi si sono rivolti su di lui. Era cosi' bello ed elegante che era difficile rimanergli indifferente. In mezzo a tutto quel caos era visibilmente smarrito, non capiva cosa ci facesse in mezzo a tutti quei cani che gli passavano accanto.
L'abbiamo subito portato in passeggiata per conoscerlo meglio. Lontano da tutti e da tutto camminava tranquillo, annusava l'erba, si guardava intorno, osservava curioso gli altri cani, senza mai mostrarsi aggressivo.
Il proprietario del canile ci ha poi spiegato la sua storia, fino a pochissimo tempo fa' Rocky aveva un padrone che si occupava di lui, purtroppo questa persona per problemi di salute non è piu' in grado di gestirlo e il figlio non ha voluto prendersi carico di Rocky poichè la sua famiglia a breve si allargherà e aveva paura del contatto tra cane e bambino.
Vedendo la splendida indole di questo cane non capiamo la sua scelta, sicuramente non si sarebbe dimostrato un cane problematico, anche se messo a contatto con i piu' piccoli.
La razza alla quale appartiene è conosciuta per essere equilibrata, docile e buona, I pastore tedesco sono cani intelligentissimi e Rocky rispecchia fedelmente tutte queste qualità .
E' passato un po' di tempo da quel pomeriggio eppure lui è rimasto lo stesso, sempre cosi' tranquillo e incuriosito dalle belle cagnoline che incrocia in passeggiata.
Vorremmo trovare un splendida adozione per lui, qualcuno che lo integri interamente nella propria.
Sarebbe il piu' bel regalo che potremmo fargli, darlo a qualcuno che gli dia l'importanza che merita.
Rocky è un meticcio pastore tedesco di circa 7 anni, verrà fatto firmare modulo adozione ed effettuati controlli post affido.

In memory of "The Few" The Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne near Folkstone. What would our life have been like without those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to save their country, we can only thank them by remembering them forever. As Winston Churchill said "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" How right he was!
