History of the Queen's House
Introduction
The Queen's House, Greenwich, was commissioned by Anne of Denmark, wife of James I (reigned 1603–25). James was often at the Tudor Palace of Greenwich, where the Old Royal Naval College now stands – it was as important a residence of the early Stuart dynasty as it had been for the Tudors. Traditionally he is said to have given the manor of Greenwich to Anne in apology for having sworn at her in public, after she accidentally shot one of his favourite dogs while hunting in 1614.

In 1616 Anne commissioned Inigo Jones (1573–1652), who had risen to fame as a designer of court entertainments and was appointed Surveyor of the King's Works the following year, to design a new pavilion for her at Greenwich. It was apparently a place of private retreat and hospitality and was also designed as a bridge over the Greenwich to Woolwich Road, between the palace gardens and the Royal Park.

Jones had recently spent three years in Italy studying Roman and Renaissance architecture. It was his first important commission and the first fully Classical building seen in England. Though generally called Palladian in style, its prime model was the Medici villa at Poggio a Caiano, by Giuliano de Sangallo.

Work stopped on the House in April 1618 when Anne became ill: she died the following year. It was thatched over at first floor level and building only restarted when James's son Charles I gave Greenwich to his queen, Henrietta Maria (daughter of Henri IV of France), in 1629. It was structurally completed in 1635. Reflecting Renaissance ideas of mathematical, Classical proportion and harmony, the House's design was revolutionary in Britain at a time when even the best native building was still in red-brick, Tudor-derived style.
Leading European painters - including Jordaens and Orazio Gentileschi - were commissioned to provide decorative ceiling panels and other art works, and Classical sculpture was provided from the collection Charles had purchased en bloc from the Gonzaga dukes of Mantua. Of this original splendour all that survives in the House is the 'grotesque' style painted ceiling of the Queen's Presence Chamber, the ironwork of the 'tulip stairs' (the first centrally unsupported spiral stair in Britain), the much discoloured but original painted woodwork of the Hall, and its finely laid 1635 marble floor.
Gentileschi's ceiling panels, much altered, survive in Marlborough House, London, since Queen Anne allowed their removal in the early-18th century.

Henrietta Maria had little time to enjoy the House. The Civil War broke out in 1642 shattering the Stuart idyll. Always an object of suspicion because of her Catholicism, the Queen went into exile in France and Charles was beheaded in 1649, his property being seized and dispersed by the Commonwealth regime (1649–60). The House lost its treasures and became an official government residence. It however survived, while the Tudor palace on the riverside fell into decay.

After his restoration to the throne (1660), Henrietta Maria's son, Charles II, refitted the House for her temporary use in 1662 before she moved to Somerset House, though she died in Paris in 1669. His principal changes were the addition of two upper 'bridge' rooms to east and west over the road. This produced a square plan on the first floor, rather than the original 'H' of two separate blocks either side of the roadway only connected by a central first-floor bridge.

From 1673 studio space in the House was allocated to the Willem van de Veldes, father and son Dutch marine artists.
They came to England at the invitation of Charles and founded the English school of marine painting. Find out more about the van de Veldes in the Art of the van de Veldes gallery in the Queens' House.
The House continued to be used for various Royal 'grace-and-favour' residential purposes in the 18th century, when the replacement of most of its original windows with Georgian sashes gave it its modern external appearance.
19th century to present day
In 1805, George III granted the Queen's House to the Royal Naval Asylum - a charity caring for and educating the orphan children of seamen. This moved to Greenwich from Paddington the following year and eventually became part of the Royal Hospital School, which itself moved to Suffolk in 1933.

In 1807–12, to meet the need for dormitories, classrooms and other facilities, the architect Daniel Asher Alexander added the Colonnades and immediately flanking wings which still frame the House in its modern role as the 'jewel in the crown' of the National Maritime Museum which took over in 1934.

The House was first restored to something approaching its 1660s form and was fitted out to display the Museum's early collections in 1933–37. Further major restoration, including of all its services, was completed in 1990 with additional work in 1998–99.
The last included replacement of an unimportant 18th century service stairway with a new public stair and lift connecting basement, ground and first floor, augmenting the original 'tulip stairs' on the Hall (north) side.
From 1990 to 1998 the upper floor of the House was partly refitted as and furnished to give an impression of its use as a Royal residence of the 1670s, and to display the NMM's early art collection. It was also increasingly used as a place for appropriate events and corporate entertainment (analogous to some of its original courtly functions).

Since 2001 the House has been reorganised to showcase the Museum's fine-art collection, with an ongoing programme of displays and temporary exhibitions, including contemporary work. It has an active events and education programme and continues in its successful role as a place for corporate and private entertainment.

SPECIAL REPORT: WHAT WENT WRONG
INTRODUCTION
Page: 1SR
This aerial photograph tells the story. Hurricane Andrew did not ravage all neighborhoods equally.
Wood-framed houses in Country Walk, at the top of the photo, were devastated.
The more flimsy Dadeland Mobile Home Park, just below it, was leveled. Roger Homes, to the right, were severely damaged.
Houses in Mediterranea, below the mobile home park, were badly damaged.
But the concrete-block Munne Estates, the houses with the distinctive red-tiled roofs, survived the storm relatively intact.
The pattern was repeated throughout South Dade. Damage followed the rigid lines of subdivisions, not the whimsy of wind. Construction quality and design largely determined the degree of hurricane damage.

I'm not terribly active lately, stuck trying to get into the grove of my new daily schedule. Most of that schedule still involves my pair of monkeys in some way or another. The only project I seem to be keeping up with is taking their pics each morning. Not particularly exciting or creative, but it's something.
Before the introduction of calculators, we had to carry out mathematical calculations in long hand on paper, use log tables, or slide rules.
This picture shows two slide rules of different size, and a selection of scale rulers used by draughtsmen, the six inch rulers and slide rules with the names of engineering firms on them were often given away as presents at Christmas.
The twelve inch slide rule dates from the 50s and was used for many years in a government office.

Typically you can download the video from Flickr, or watch it on YouTube. Watching on Flickr doesn't work so well, as videos are limited in length.
Videos are listed here in order of usefulness. If you're in my class, please be aware some videos are REQUIRED, and they should be watched through software that records your activity for credit. This will be discussed in class. As of 2017-18, I use EdPuzzle for this.

SALKANTAY
Introduction
When thinking about Trekking Machu Picchu, the first thing that comes to mind is the Inca Trail Trek.
Because of excessive crowds the Peruvian government decided not only to limit daily access but also to impose strict Inca Trail Regulations. We understand how frustrating it is to not be able to get a permit because you didn't book 4 months in advance and there are no permits left.
The famous Salkantay Trek (or Salcantay Trek), recently named among the 25 best Treks in the World, by National Geographic Adventure Travel Magazine is a trek open to everybody, with no limitation on spaces or permits. Connecting the city of Cusco with Machu Picchu, The Salkantay Trek is an ancient and remote footpath located in the same region as the Inca Trail where massive snowcapped mountains collide with lush tropical rain forests. Located less than fifty miles northwest of the city of Cuzco in south central Peru by the Cordillera Vilcabamba and rising to 6271 meters above sea level (20574 ft) Mt. Salkantay is an outstanding glacier-capped summit worshipped for thousands of years by local indians. The name Salkantay is a quechua word meaning "Savage Mountain". Our classic Salkantay trek is a custom-designed alternative to the traditional Inca Trail. Off the beaten path, this is a cutting edge experience for adventure travelers looking for a little more privacy and authenticity. With more spectacular vistas, the Salkantay trek offers the solitude and quiet contemplation such a sacred path deserves.
I received a letter yesterday in the mail from my cousin Heather. When I opened it up a handful of photographs fell out on the table. When I picked them up to look, I started to cry. These photos mean more to me than I think she will ever know.
Here my Mom is with my cousin Heather introducing my new kitten to our parakeet Zisa.......this is the photo that made me loose it........this is just SO how I remember my Mother.
Return to the Western world! We spend three weeks in Croatia, and sample the joys of Central Europe by the Adriatic Sea.
Zagreb is thoroughly modern and beautiful, with a livelier local crowd, fresh markets, and more hidden gems than Prague or Budapest. The Plitvice Lakes are one of the most awesome national parks we have visited so far. And Dubrovnik is like stepping back into the 1400s, all rocky hillside, stone streets, towering city walls, and Mediterranean blue sea. We would love to come back here.

Welcome to the Count of Monte Cristo Walking Tour. This tour takes you through the locations in Paris that play a significant role in Alexandre Dumas' novel “The Count of Monte Cristo.”
This tour covers a broad area within Paris so Metro stations are also identified, and sometimes recommended, rather than walking the entire route. The Père Lachaise cemetery is not covered in this tour due to its distance, but is a wonderful cemetery to tour separately.
Food and drink is readily available all along this tour so it is not identified uniquely with one exception.
Note: Cited Arrondissement's and Metro stations are for the location/photo being viewed. Directions shown are to the next location on the tour.
Quotes are from the Penguin Classics edition translated by Robin Buss.

Chassis n° 266
Following the introduction of the 3 litre in 1921, Bentley introduced the TT model in 1922. This model marked Bentley's success in the 1922 Tourist Trophy race on the Isle of Man, where three Bentleys entered finished second, fourth and fifth. Chassis 266 was fitted with body number 3254 built by Vanden Plas. The car retains tis original body and most of its original running gear, save for the engine which was replaced pre-war. Chassis 266 was converted to four-wheel braking. The car is used regularly. Earlier this year it has been invited to compete at the Goodwood Revival in September. Only 2 of 71 built 3 Litre TT cars came with a Vanden Pals sports 4-seater aluminum body. Chassis 266 is one of these two.

The introduction spread. The photos of me were done as an inkjet/packing tape transfer. I put together the titles in photoshop using letters from vintage ephemera. Used bits cut from a book and a paper doily (modpodged for durability) and a scrap of fabric.

The great support from Phottix made is possible to get this workshop done. By bringing all the things we needed (triggers, receivers, umbrellas, softboxes, octaboxes, light stands) we had the chance to let all the photographers try what we was talking about right away. Thank you Steve and Samuel
I have spend most of the day in my favourite shop, sewing. It was an introduction to sewing workshop, I can hand sew but this was using machines which has always terriefied me.
There was only a small group of us which was lovely as it was really relaxed and we were all in the same boat.
The other four woman made cushions which were fab, I would have loved to make a cushion but I have enough cushions, what I really wanted to make was bunting to hang on my beautiful new dresser that was delivered yesterday.
Once all the fabric triangles were cut out (which took up most of the time) it was fairly easy to put together, even though sewing in a straight line proved a little difficult at times.
My lovely bunting looks fabulous on my dresser, I have a real sense of pride.
I have also signed myself up for another workshop in March, which is Patchwork quilting. I have always wanted to make one but never knew how. I am planning on getting the girls old clothes and special baby grows that I kept and incorporating them into it. I really can't wait to go to that one.
