The curbs above almost every single sewer drain in Bologna have these colorful spray painted marks. I thought it was an ambitious street art project at first, but apparently it has something to do with marking various chemical treatments for controlling the mosquito population.

The Abercarn colliery disaster was a catastrophic explosion within the Prince of Wales Colliery in the Welsh village of Abercarn (then in the county of Monmouthshire), on 11 September 1878, killing 268 men and boys (though the exact number of casualties remains unknown). The cause was assumed to have been the ignition of firedamp by a safety lamp. The disaster is the third worst for loss of life to occur within the South Wales Coalfield Shortly after midday on 11 September 1878, with 325 men and boys working underground, a large explosion ripped through the Prince of Wales Colliery. The colliery’s steam whistle blew, signalling that an emergency was underway, drawing colliers and the families of those trapped to the pit head.
The explosion caused significant damage to the mine’s roadways and to the bottom of the main shaft. Several fires ignited the coal seams and supporting timber structures, filling the mine with smoke.
A rescue team entered the main shaft but damage meant the winding gear could reach only 295 yards (270 m) down. John Harris climbed down guide ropes and rescued several men. After several hours in the pit, the rescue team was withdrawn over concerns of further explosions. In all, some 90 colliers were saved.
Two miles (3 km) from the main pit, another rescue team ventured into a shallow downcast or ventilation shaft, but were ordered to withdraw due to the likelihood of another explosion happening. Only 12 bodies were retrieved, leaving over 250 men and boys within the mine to this day. A memorial naming all those who perished is situated in Abercarn Cemetary.

When the steel pen was reigning supreme in the writing instruments' market, many companies insisted their steel pen suppliers imprinted the firm's name on the nib.

The U.S. Army Air Forces issued its first requirement for a jet bomber in 1943. However, it was not until after the war, when German research on high-speed aircraft became available that the design of the B-47 was finalized. The B-47 became the first all jet bomber produced anywhere in the world. Over two thousand Stratojets were built between 1947 and 1957. During the early 1960s a number of B-47E models were converted for use as electronic intelligence gathering aircraft. Additional antennas were mounted on the aircraft and a "capsule" was installed in the aircraft's bomb bay that carried additional equipment to monitor radar and radio signals as well as two additional crew members.

Ford Motor Company Fund returned as sole sponsor of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium, marking its 10th year with the title “Moving Forward: The State of the Industry.” The annual event was held Thursday, Feb. 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The event was free to the public.
A portion of Ford’s sponsorship will be directed to support community programs, including a $10,000 grant to Duke Media Foundation.
Last year, the film entertainment industry set a record with box office receipts totaling $11 billion. Black filmmakers, including an increased number of black film directors and actors starring in lead roles, as well as gripping feature films and moving historical pieces all played a role in this unprecedented success.
“Ford is proud to be working again with the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium to showcase a renaissance in black film at all levels,” said Pamela Alexander, director of community development, Ford Motor Company Fund. “We congratulate the award-winning Bill Duke and Duke Media Foundation for their work in developing media and financial literacy programs to prepare inner-city and gifted high school students for the new digital media age.”
The event focused on whether this newfound success was due to a broader industry trend or the achievement of a new stronghold for blacks in the film industry. More than 300 people including Hollywood entertainers, NAACP board members, members of the NAACP Image Awards’ committee and television academy, as well as film and television students from local colleges and universities convened for this event. They also engaged in the question and answer session by directly addressing the panel participants with various inquiries. All panelists encourage aspiring artists to persevere and learn to perfect their craft.
Panel participants included humanitarian/activist/director Bill Duke, CAA agent Cameron Mitchell, senior vice president of production for Columbia Tristar Pictures Devon Franklin, and author and producer Flo McAfee. Ramsey Jay Jr., nationally renowned writer, interviewer and producer, served as panel moderator.
The Hollywood Bureau Symposium was one of several popular events held during Image Awards week. The 45th NAACP Image Awards aired Saturday, Feb. 22, from 9 to 11 p.m. on TV One. Check local listings for encore broadcasts.

Tigers mark their territory by spraying urine and a fowl smelling fluid from their anal glands on trees. The naturalist Sunil and I were following fresh pug-marks of a tigress and her cub along a path, after a 100 meters or so the marks vanished from road so we were waiting near a pond hoping they would come for a drink. After 15 mins or so when we were starting to loose hope, a Langur started shouting with alarm call revealing presence of a cat nearby, after a while, about 200 ft behind our car, a huge male tiger came out of thick bush. I used to think as tigers are yellow-black striped, how can they be camouflaged in green bushes, over time I realized tiger skin is exactly designed to match thick bushes which are 'tiger coloured!' as seen here. After marking territory, he came towards the pond, sub-merged his back in to water, some drink and slowly disappeared in to thick bush cover again.
Mould marking H on longside. Number opposite side.
I only have this brick from this mould and it's CA.
I'm looking to collect the different colours and plastics of each Samsonite mould. I'm going to upload the bricks that I have so far. If you have any that I'm missing or any interesting variations please feel free to get in touch.
Royal seal of some kind on old (18th century?) naval cannon on the waterfront in old town Alexandria, VA. I wish they had a plaque with additional information on the artifact.

Shameful that people visit such a beautiful natural environment and feel the need to destroy it by leaving their mark.
This photograph with markings seems to be one of a few examples of Bertha using photographs as models for the Christmas cards that she designed. From the blue pen marks, she decided to eliminate the light fixture, place a bow on the box newel, and move the wreath from the staircase window to the window on the right. Photograph possibly from the 1920s. Shambaugh Coll MS 100

Todd, Billy and I stayed at the Kadampa Meditation Centre, New York, for a night on our way home from NYC. There are woods behind the Temple and we walked through them for around an hour, maybe 2. Hoping to see deer but definitely not bears!!!! I remember just walking along narrow paths, winding in and out of trees, trees and more trees. It was peaceful......
Marking 250 years since London was first dazzled by the modern circus, April’s Friday Late invited visitors to witness acrobatics, artistry and those pushing their bodies and artforms to new limits. From VR insights into the social impact of circus, to rarely seen archives of the V&A’s Theatre and Performance Collection, and from newly commissioned youth circus pieces to contemporary clowning and discussions of the role of gender in the industry, this collaboration with The Roundhouse shone a light on the state of play in UK Circus today.
