En un bosque de la china la chinita se perdió
Como yo andaba perdido nos encontramos los dos
En un bosque de la china la chinita se perdió
Como yo andaba perdido nos encontramos lo dos
Era de noche y la chinita
Tenía miedo miedo tenía de andar solita
Anduvo un rato y se sentó
Junto a la china junto a la china me senté yo
(x2)
Y yo que si y ella que no
Y yo que si y ella que no
Y al cabo fuimos y al cabo fuimos
Y al cabo fuimos de una opinión
(chinita no quelel comel fluta no quelel comel veldula, solo quelel comel alozzz)
Bajo el cielo de la china
La chinita se sentó
Y la luna en ese instante
Indiscreta la besó
(x2)
Luna envidiosa
Luna importuna
Tenía celos celos tenía de mi fortuna
Anduvo un rato y se sentó
Junto a la china junto a la china me senté yo
Y yo que si y ella que no
Y yo que si y ella que no
Y al cabo fuimos y al cabo fuimos
Y al cabo fuimos de una opinión

Andrew Garner drove this car in the 1950s Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999. It's a 1959 Lister Jaguar with the white bodywork and blue stripes of the American Briggs Cunningham team and is probably the second of these Costin bodied cars to be made, chassis BHL123, which went to Briggs Cunningham. Gary Pearson at one point restored the former Briggs Cunningham car, and this car at Silverstone has the same 6-cylinder inline 3,781cc Jaguar XK engine that was fitted to BHL123. The 1959 car was designed by Frank Costin to accommodate a Chevrolet Corvette engine, which most of them did, although a few of the cars used the same Jaguar engine as the earlier Lister 'Knobbly' cars. The red car next to the Lister is Andrew Garner's 2½ litre Cooper T51 which competed in the Maserati UK Race for Pre-1966 Grand Prix and Tasman Cars, The number 69 car appears to be a Jaguar C-Type, but isn't listed in the programme of the event.
The view from the top of the Grade I Listed Bath Abbey, in Bath, Somerset.
In 675 Osric, King of the Hwicce, granted the Abbess Berta 100 hides near Bath for the establishment of a convent. This religious house became a monastery under the patronage of the Bishop of Worcester. King Offa of Mercia successfully wrested "that most famous monastery at Bath" from the bishop in 781. William of Malmesbury tells that Offa rebuilt the monastic church, which may have occupied the site of an earlier pagan temple.
Bath was ravaged in the power struggle between the sons of William the Conqueror following his death in 1087. The victor, William II Rufus, granted the city to a royal physician, John of Tours, who became Bishop of Wells and Abbot of Bath. Shortly after his consecration John bought Bath Abbey's grounds from the king, as well as the city of Bath itself.
When this was effected in 1090, John became the first Bishop of Bath, and St Peter's was raised to cathedral status. As the roles of bishop and abbot had been combined, the monastery became a priory, run by its prior. With the elevation of the abbey to cathedral status, it was felt that a larger, more up-to-date building was required. John of Tours planned a new cathedral on a grand scale, dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul, but only the ambulatory was complete when he died in December 1122.
The half-finished cathedral was devastated by fire in 1137, but work continued under Godfrey, the new bishop, until about 1156; the completed building was approximately 330 feet (101 m) long. It was consecrated while Robert of Bath was bishop. The specific date is not known however it was between 1148 and 1161.
In 1197, Reginald Fitz Jocelin's successor, Savaric FitzGeldewin, with the approval of Pope Celestine III, officially moved his seat to Glastonbury Abbey, but the monks there would not accept their new Bishop of Glastonbury and the title of Bishop of Bath and Glastonbury was used until the Glastonbury claim was abandoned in 1219. Savaric's successor, Jocelin of Wells, again moved the bishop's seat to Bath Abbey, with the title Bishop of Bath.
Joint cathedral status was awarded by Pope Innocent IV to Bath and Wells in 1245. Roger of Salisbury was appointed the first Bishop of Bath and Wells, having been Bishop of Bath for a year previously. Bath Cathedral gradually fell into disrepair. When Oliver King, Bishop of Bath and Wells 1495–1503, visited Bath in 1499 he was shocked to find this famous church in ruins. King took a year to consider what action to take, before writing to the Prior of Bath in October 1500 to explain that a large amount of the priory income would be dedicated to rebuilding the cathedral.
Robert and William Vertue, the king's masons were commissioned, promising to build the finest vault in England. The new design incorporated the surviving Norman crossing wall and arches.
Prior Holloway surrendered Bath Priory to the crown in January 1539. It was sold to Humphry Colles of Taunton. The church was stripped of lead, iron and glass and left to decay. Colles sold it to Matthew Colthurst of Wardour Castle in 1543. His son Edmund Colthurst gave the roofless remains of the building to the corporation of Bath in 1572. The corporation had difficulty finding private funds for its restoration.
In 1574, Queen Elizabeth I promoted the restoration of the church, to serve as the grand parish church of Bath. She ordered that a national fund should be set up to finance the work, and in 1583 decreed that it should become the parish church of Bath. James Montague, the Bishop of Bath and Wells from 1608–1616, paid £1,000 for a new nave roof of timber lath construction; according to the inscription on his tomb, this was prompted after seeking shelter in the roofless nave during a thunderstorm.
"It's quite unusual for a petrol station to be listed – this is one of just two from the 1960s," said English Heritage architectural historian John Minnis. "As far as we know, the one in Leicestershire is the last of its kind left in the country.
Listing is not a preservation order. It means consent must be applied for in order to make any changes. It has been given grade II listed status, which means it is nationally important and of special interest.
Built 1881–82,designed by G. E. Grayson for the Bank of Liverpool. It is in Neoclassical style, and is constructed in stone on a granite base. The building has three storeys, an attic and a basement.

The Grade I Listed Peterborough Cathedral, in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
It has been the site of church since 655 when one of the first centres of Christianity in central England known simply as Medeshamstede was founded during the reign of the Anglo-Saxon King Peada of the Middle Angles.
In 966 a Benedictine Abbey was created out of the former church by Athelwold, Bishop of Winchester. The Abbey survived battles between local folk-hero Hereward the Wake and the Norman invaders, but was destroyed by an accidental fire in 1116. Due to this it was rebuilt into the modern building between 1118-1237 in the Norman style.
The church houses many relics including the arm of St Oswald, two pieces of swaddling clothes which wrapped the baby Jesus, pieces of Jesus' manger, a part of the five loaves which fed the 5,000, a piece of the raiment of St Mary, a piece of Aaron's rod, and relics of St Peter, St Paul and St Andrew - to whom the church is dedicated.)
In 1541, following Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries all of the church's relics were lost but the church survived by being selected as the cathedral of the new Diocese of Peterborough. This may have been related to the fact that Henry's former queen, Katherine of Aragon, had been buried there in 1536.
In 1587, the body of Mary, Queen of Scots, was also buried here after her execution at nearby Fotheringhay Castle, but it was later removed to Westminster Abbey on the orders of her son, King James I of England.
UPDATE: The issue has been resolved without fuss! Ebay removed the listing with my picture and the seller removed the other doll picture on his own. Thanks so much to anybody who reported him. I really hope this doesn't happen again to anybody else, but I will keep an eye out and will inform owners if I come across anything. It's a relief to know that Ebay take this sort of thing seriously :)

Just putting a warning out there as it has come to my attention that a seller on ebay, ukgiftshop, is stealing owner pictures of bjds to print on phone cases to sell!
As you can see, sadly one of my pictures of Hayden has been stolen. I'm really upset as I hate the idea of somebody profiting from my work, but people seem to think that they can do what they want with our pictures. I have contacted ebay customer support to get some advice on getting this listing removed, but I would appreciate it if more people could report this listing and the other image that has been stolen.
Here is the listing for Hayden:
*listing removed! Thank you ebay customer support*
And here is a listing for another doll who I don't recognise. If anybody knows this doll's owner, please link them to this:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DOLL-DOLLS-405-HARD-PHONE-CASE-APPLE-I...
I am asking for as many people as possible to report these. I'm worried that this seller will steal more and more pictures, so we need to raise this to ebay's attention. People can't just steal our hard work and make money from it :(

A friend once asked why I buy professional-level cameras when photography is no longer my bread-and-butter. I replied that I just want to know what "the current buzz is all about." Plus, many of my "bucket list" gear are "pre-owned." And after a while, I do sell them off again, to finance my next-in-the-bucket-list items. :)

All remaining 10 Class locomotives are heritage listed. See this link for some info and history:
www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/ViewHeritageItemDe...
This locomotive was built by Beyer Peacock & Co as their builder's number 5909 of 1918, becoming No.18 of the South Maitland Railway Pty Ltd's very successful "10-class" 2-8-2T locomotives. No.18 was the third member of the 10-class, and subsequent repeat orders eventually swelled the class to 14 examples. These locomotives were a powerful and rugged design with saturated steam boilers, and spent their working lives hauling coal trains over the South Maitland Railway system between a range of mines and the NSWGR exchange sidings at East Greta. The SMR workshops and running sheds were also located at East Greta.
SMR 18 received a new welded boiler in 1980, built by the SMR at their East Greta workshops. The majority of the 10-class locomotives became surplus to requirements following cessation of steam haulage on the South Maitland Railway system in 1983, although four of the class remained in operation at Hexham until closure of the Stockrington Colliery line in 1987. Fortunately the 10-class locomotives and the South Maitland Railway running shed were classified by the National Trust and the entire class passed into preservation.
SMR 18 is now owned by the Hunter Valley Training Company, East Greta (together with class leader SMR 10). SMR 18 was leased to 3801 Limited and had been in use on "The Cockatoo Run", a regular tourist train from Wollongong up the Illawarra escarpment to Robertson. It was fitted with an extended smokebox and bunker to better suit this demanding role. SMR 18 was generally housed at Eveleigh Workshops, Sydney in the period 1995 - 2003, where it kept company with pacifics 3801 and 3830.
On 21 May 2003, SMR 18 was transported by road - three truckloads - from Eveleigh to the Bradken Rail works at Braemar, near Mittagong. There it was rebuilt to original form, and on completion was returned to the former SMR depot at East Greta. It was intended to be operated on the SMR line to Pelton.
SMR 18 (together with SMR 10) had been stored at the Rothbury Riot Railway, Branxton on behalf of the Hunter Valley Training Company in recent years however I understand they were returned to their former South Maitland Railway workshops site at East Greta in October 2010.

The Grade I Listed Lichfield Cathedral, in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Christmas Day 700 saw the consecration of the first cathedral in Lichfield, and, as there had been a church built around 659 Lichfield is among the earliest centres of Christian worship in the UK.
St Chad came in 669 to be the first Bishop in Lichfield, and upon his death his remains quickly became venerated and a place of pilgrimage.
Among the cathedral’s many treasures, from the time of the Anglo Saxons (probably under King Offa) there is an exquisite 8th century sculpture of the ‘Lichfield Angel’ from the St Chad’s tomb chest, as well as the St Chad Gospels - perhaps a little younger than the Lindisfarne Gospels but older than the Book of Kells.
Bishops Lymesey and de Clinton built the Normal Cathedral and Clinton fortified the Close with a wall. In the 13th century Bishop de Langton, (who was also the Treasurer of England), strengthened that surrounding wall for the Close and crenelated it.
Due to the large number of pilgrims flocking to the shrine the cathedral flourished during the time of the Plantagenet kings. Many of the Bishops and Deans appointed then were Close to the ruling dynasty, and the proximity to the rebellious Welsh made Lichfield a key strategic settlement during this period.
Unfortunately, the great wall around the Close proved to be the Cathedral’s undoing during the 17th century since it turned the cathedral and Close into an ideal garrison, first for the Royalists, then for the Roundheads, then again for the Royalists and finally the Roundheads until the Restoration. During these sieges’ cannonballs destroyed both the roof and the central spire.
The Restoration in 1660 found the cathedral and Close in a state of ruination, because the Roundheads had destroyed statues, monuments, documents, carvings and left little roof.
The 19th Century saw a major restoration under Sir George Gilbert Scott and is son, Oldrid. This included increasing the external wall housed sculptures resulting in the now 160 ornate carved figures of kings, queens, and saints.

The Capitol Complex in Chandigarh – the Indian city that gave the architect a chance to test his Modernist theories on a grand scale. These Le Corbusier buildings added to UNESCO's World Heritage list
The Capitol Complex is made up of three concrete buildings and two monuments:
•the Palace of Assembly or Legislative Assembly
•the Secretariat
•the High Court
•the Open Hand sign, a symbol of the government of Chandigarh
•the Tower of Shadows
Le Corbusier built also a large and a small museum and two schools for art and architecture.
Chandigarh was one of India's first planned cities, and was Le Corbusier's largest project.
He was commissioned to design the masterplan in the early 1950s, after being approved by Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister. The city was to serve as the new independent Indian government's regional capital in Punjab, after the previous capital, Lahore, became part of Pakistan.
"The general feeling seems to be that Le Corbusier took on the task primarily as a way of justifying his theories," wrote the New Yorker in 1955. "He is almost 70, it is pointed out, and thus far most of those theories have been tried only on paper."
Arranged in a grid, the city's districts are connected by boulevards and are dotted with parks, public spaces and streets planted with trees. But it is the group of buildings that form the government's administration complex – known as the Capitol Complex – that have become symbolic of the architect's work in India. Le Corbusier saw the city like a human body, with these buildings functioning as its "head". As with many of his best-known projects, he collaborated with his cousin, architect and designer Pierre Jeanerret, to build and furnish the Capitol Complex as a complete work – creating everything from the facades down to the door handles.
The Secretariat is the largest of the structures, and houses the headquarters of both the Punjab and Haryana governments. The Secretariat houses the ministerial chambers and all ministerial agencies. The massive building is almost 250 metres long and comprises eight storeys of rough-cast concrete. The concrete was moulded into different forms to create complex geometry and patterns, which are highlighted in the paintwork. Ramps at either end allow for vertical circulation through every storey.
The Palace of Assembly was designed to have an open-plan interior, framed by a grid of reinforced concrete columns, offering a view of the nearby Himalayan mountains. The free facade allows it to host large sections of glazing covered in brise-soleils or sun-breaks. Originally the Palace was meant to house only one parliament, but nowadays is is used by both the parliaments of the Punjab and Haryana, so there is less open space left.
The High Court has a double roof that provides shade to the rest of the building and its columns and portico walls are painted in bright, contrasting colours. The upper roof cantilevers out over the lower roof and a gap between the two allows for air to circulate around the building.

ift.tt/29V9AS5 Online Business Listings Union City There are a number of reasons we think Local Directory Marketing is essential for your business. But first let me explain that it is not for every business. Businesses that do not service a specific location or do not have a physical address will be better served spending their marketing dollars in other locations. That being said, for practically every other business this will be a great value. There are so numerous ways to be found, but some of the top ways are Online search engine (like Google or YouTube and even Yahoo or Bing), Social Media Sites (Like Facebook or Twitter or LinkedIn or Google+), and Local Directories (like Super Pages, Yellow Pages, Yelp, Merchant Circle-- and hundreds more). Local Directory Listings help you in a number of ways. First, if your business is on Local Directory Listings then your business website will have a far better possibility of showing up higher in search results page. Second, people really search these Local Directories to find your business (or another person who does what you do.) Particularly now that so numerous people search with their phones, local directory listings become increasingly more essential. Those sites have a lot of weight in online search engine. It is easy for an algorithm to inspect to see if your business is near the person who is searching. Third, if you do not claim, up to date and preserve your local listings, anyone can. Hopefully, you do not have an ex-spouse, competitor, or ex-employee who wants to cause damage to your business, but it is extremely easy to have dated or wrong info on your local directory listings. And lastly, there is a part of the Google Search algorithm that hardly anyone discuss and that is Citations. Citations are defined as discusses of your business name, address, telephone number, even if there is no link to your website. Other elements being equal, the business with the greater amount of citations will probably rank higher. They increase the certainty that the online search engine has your correct contact info and category.
Dutch postcard, 1967 by 't Sticht, Utrecht, no. AX 6305.
Today, it was announced that Dutch singer and actress Liesbeth List (1941) passed away last Wednesday, 25 March 2020. List was known as the Grande Dame of the Dutch chanson, thanks to songs like 'Pastorale', 'Aan de andere kant van de heuvels' (On the other side of the hills), and 'Kinderen een kwartje' (Children a quarter). She became popular during the 1960s and frequently collaborated with Ramses Shaffy. List sang Jacques Brel's chansons in a Dutch translation, and also acted in a few Dutch films. Liesbeth List was 78.
Liesbeth List was born Elisabeth 'Elly' Dorathea Driessen in 1941 in Bandoeng, Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia). Her parents were separated in 1942 when during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, her father was forced to work in coal mines. List and her mother were sent to one of the many camps set up exclusively to contain Dutch occupants of Indonesia. Such camps were known under the Dutch nickname 'jappenkamp' (Jap-Camp). The circumstances in which List and her mother lived in the camp were very hard on her mother, who developed depression. Four years later, the Netherlands freed the East Indies of the Japanese occupation, and List and her mother were set free. They were reunited with their father and husband, but a few weeks later, List's mother committed suicide. List and her father returned to the Netherlands, where her father remarried. His new wife, however, frequently clashed with List. At the age of seven, the child's services took List away. It was thought List's father was deceased, and she was placed in an orphanage. After it was revealed List's father was still alive, she was placed back with her father and stepmother. In 1948, during a trip to Dutch island Vlieland, List's stepmother was told that the owner of a hotel on Vlieland and his wife were seeking to adopt a child. Liesbeth List was subsequently given up by her father and adopted by this couple, whose surname was List.
As a teenager, Liesbeth List was very interested in culture and music. She moved to Amsterdam in 1959, aged 18, where she did a fashion study and had a job as a secretary. She appeared on TV in the talent show Nieuwe Oogst/New harvest, after which she was signed to collaborate with legendary Dutch singer Ramses Shaffy in the theatre show 'Shaffy Chantant'. They first started this show, in which they performed well-known chansons, in 1964. In 1965, the duo was awarded at the Knokke Song Contest in Knokke, Belgium. Their duet 'Pastorale' became a hit at the charts and has grown into an evergreen in the lowlands. This success caused List to focus on a musical career and to release her debut album in 1966. In 1967, Mikis Theodorakis asked her to collaborate on an LP of his Mauthausen Ballad, describing the persecution of Jews during the Second World War in dramatic chansons. The LP was a critical and commercial success. List was also successful with an LP containing cover versions of songs by Jacques Brel: the LP was certified gold.
In 1969, Liesbeth List was awarded a press prize at a television festival in Montreux. The prize was awarded to her for a television show, directed by Bob Rooijens. This foreign acclaim caused List to focus more on international success. She started recording more cover versions of well-known artists, such as Gilbert Bécaud. List's success continued with the release of more LPs and continued acting career in television, film, and stage. In 1972 she made with the American singer, songwriter Rod McKuen the album 'Two against the morning'. In 1973 she recorded in England the album: 'Meet lovely Liesbeth List.' Her album: 'Liesbeth List sings Jacques Brel' was released in the USA in 1972. In 1976, she recorded an album with songs of Charles Aznavour 'Charles Aznavour presents Liesbeth List'. She sang with him the duet 'Don't say a word.' As an actress, she became known for such films as the Dutch thriller To Grab the Ring (Nikolai van der Heyde, 1968) with Ben Carruthers and Françoise Brion, the German drama Zum Abschied Chrysanthemen/Goodbye with Mums (Florian Furtwängler, 1974) with Maria Furtwängler and Christine Kaufmann, and the Knut Hamsun adaptation Mysteries/Evil Mysteries (Paul de Lussanet, 1978) starring Rutger Hauer and Sylvia Kristel. She also appeared in several TV films and series, including the Dutch TV film De liefdeswacht/The love guard (Dimitri Frenkel Frank, 1974) with Ramses Shaffy, and Een heel dun laagje goud/A very thin layer of gold (Dimitri Frenkel Frank, 1978) with Robert Long.
Liesbeth List took a short break when she became pregnant with her first child. She and her husband Robert Braaksma had a daughter, Elisah, in 1983, when List was 41. List ceased her activities to care for her child for six years. Hence in 1988, List made her return to the public eye, starring in a theatre programme titled 'List NU'. In 1990, she started another, similar show, but it gained neither critical nor commercial success, causing List to accept her career had ended. Producer Frank Boeijen revived List's career. She released three more albums since she first contacted him. In 2009 she released a new CD called 'Verloren & Gewonnen'. Liesbeth List has also appeared in musicals, such as 'Eindeloos' (Endless) in 1997 and 'Piaf' in 1999. In the latter production, she played the title role of the legendary French singer Edith Piaf. Ten years later she played Piaf again, but then at a later age. She was awarded a Johnny Kraaijkamp Musical Award for both performances. In 2014 her husband Robert Braaksma passed away. In 2017 there was a musical about Liesbeth List herself, 'Liesbeth de Musical'. The main role was played by Renée van Wegberg. In the same year List announced that she stopped performing, partly because she suffered from a form of dementia. During her long career, List received several major Dutch awards including two Edisons (1971 and 1995) and a Gouden Harp (Golden Harp, 1998). Liesbeth List passed away in her hometown Soest, the Netherlands, at the age of 78.

The church was founded in 1107 when Henry I of England took the lands and castle from a rebellious owner and granted them instead to Robert de Beaumont. Beaumont established it as a collegiate church within Leicester Castle bailey as a college served by a Dean and 12 Canons in honour of the Virgin Mary and All Souls and as a chantry chapel for the souls of him, his family and the first three Norman kings. He endowed this and 4 other churches with £6 of his income and land in or near the city.
