Hero has more of an Asian face, Message has more of a Barbie Asian face. But both are from the same production period.
You can just make out the words on the fortune cookie fortune if you zoom in.
"A kiss can beautify souls, hearts and thoughts."
I have no idea where this came from. I found it under the kitchen table last night after dinner. We haven't had Chinese food in a while. So I'm taking this one as another message. Perfect timing and all too.
I dictated a message to Lauren, my fiancee.
Me: "Message Lauren: Hi honey, do you have any idea what you want for dinner? I love you."
Siri: "OK, I'll send it."
(Siri transcribed the note perfectly, including the punctation which I specified as "question-mark" and so forth.)
The Postcard
A Valentine's Series postcard.
The card was posted in Newcastle-on-Tyne on Friday the 15th. March 1918 to:
Mrs. Whitehouse,
4, Charlton Cottages,
Pemberton Road,
Lyndhurst,
Hampshire.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Mrs. Whitehouse,
Many thanks for pretty card.
I hope you will like this view
showing the centre of the
city".
Someone has also written 'Answered' on the back of the card.
Grey's Monument
Grey's Monument is a Grade I listed monument to Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, built in 1838 in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
It was erected to acclaim Earl Grey for the passing of the Great Reform Act of 1832, and stands at the head of Grey Street. It consists of a statue of Lord Grey standing atop a 130-foot-high (40 m) column.
The column was designed by local architects John and Benjamin Green, and the statue was created by the sculptor Edward Hodges Baily (creator of Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square). It was paid for by public subscription.
In July 1941, during World War II, the head of the statue was knocked off by a bolt of lightning. In 1947, sculptor Roger Hedley created a new head based on the preserved fragments of the original.
A spiral staircase leads to a viewing platform at the top of the monument, which is occasionally opened to the public. Old photographs indicate that the monument was originally on a traffic island and was surrounded by railings. These railings are no longer present, and the area around the monument is now pedestrianised.
The wide base of the monument is a popular spot for people-watching, and often acts as a venue for buskers, religious speakers and political activists/protesters.
The Sinking of a U-Boat
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 15th. March 1918 was an eventful day:
On that day, German submarine SM U-110 was depth charged and sunk in the Atlantic Ocean by Royal Navy ships with the loss of all 39 crew after sinking the British ocean liner Amazon.
The Sinking of Another U-Boat
Also on that day, the German submarine SM UB-106 sank at Kiel, Germany with the loss of all 35 crew. She was raised three days later, repaired and returned to service.
Adolph Ritter von Tutschek
Also on the 15th. March 1918, German flying ace Adolf Ritter von Tutschek was shot down and killed by South African ace H. B. Redler of the Royal Flying Corps over France. He had 27 victories to his credit when he died.
HMS Furious
Also on that day, the Royal Navy vessel HMS Furious re-entered service as the world's first aircraft carrier with aircraft lifts.
George Alexander
The 15th. March 1918 was not a good one for George Alexander, English actor and stage producer, because he died on that day.
George, who was born in 1858, is best known for his collaborations with St James's Theatre and playwright Oscar Wilde, including the premier of The Importance of Being Earnest.
George was knighted for his services to the theatre in 1911.

It is nearly eight days since the horrific mosque shootings in Christchurch and it has been a difficult week. 50 people died in two locations in the city.
Photography has not been a major focus, and if it wasn't for the fact that I am into my fourth year of a "photo a day" project I would have put the camera away for a few days.
We took our grandson Ethan to his children's cricket game this morning at his home ground of Edgar McIntosh Park, and beside the field were a lot of chalk drawn messages, all on the footpath apart from a couple on the rear wall of the Papanui Bowling Club building, and presumably from school children sometime during the week.

Certain things make a commute tolerable: comfort, space, entertainment, thoughts, and dreams. Most important: being left alone to them.

Philosophie der ringenden Menschlichkeit
Gehe gelassen in der Hetze,
denn selten erwartet dich mehr als Lärm.
Meide laute und aufdringliche Menschen,
denn sie sind eine Qual in dein Innerstes…
Denke daran,
welcher Frieden im Schweigen wohnt.
Höre anderen zu,
sogar dem Törichten und Unwissenden,
wenn er/sie in Not ist;
denn an ihm/ihr offenbart sich
die Tragik und das Geheimnis
auch deines Lebens.
Versuche soweit wie möglich
die Menschen zu verstehen
und mit denen, die es verdienen,
ohne Preisgabe deines Ich
gut zu sein.
Obwohl niemand in der Wahrheit ruht
und in ihrem Namen verurteilen darf,
triffst du sie doch als Wahrhaftigkeit
in der aufrichtigen Begegnung
mit dir und dem anderen.
Deshalb stehe ich zu ihr
entschlossen und tapfer,
vor allem, wenn sie auf dem Spiele steht.
Wenn du dich mit anderen vergleichst,
betrüge nicht –
denn es wird immer Bedeutendere,
aber auch Geringere geben als dich.
Freue dich,
wenn von dir errungenes Maß
in dein Leben wirkt.
Erfülle dich in deiner Aufgabe,
da sie im Leben außer Freundschaft
der einzige Besitz ist.
Bleib dir treu; heuchle niemals Zuneigung.
Sprich nie gering über die Liebe,
denn sie zählt zu dem wenigen,
was dem Leben
unvergessliche Erinnerung schenkt…
Lass jede Lebensanschauung,
jede einzelne Meinung gelten,
sofern sie der andere lebt,
und niemand durch sie Schaden nimmt.
Alle Ängste entstehen im Selbstzweifel,
in der Erschöpfung
und in der Einsamkeit;
darum gönne deinem Geist und Körper
auch Ruhe und Entspannung.
Erhole dich auf einsamen Spaziergängen
und kehre zurück in deiner Seele…
Du bist ein Geschöpf des Universums,
nicht weniger und nicht mehr
als die Bäume und die Sterne am Himmel;
versuche dich als Geschenk – zu leben.
und sei vornehm im Umgang mit dir selbst…
Mache gerade durch das Wissen
um die Einsamkeit eines jeden
ein Wesen der Mitmenschlichkeit aus dir.
Dies ist die einzige Hoffnung,
wenigstens für einen Augenblick
in einem anderen
dem Alleinsein zu entrinnen.
Jeder wird nur durch deine gelebte Größe
an seine erinnert –
voller Anerkennung oder Beschämung…

Every July, thousands of Bostonians gather at the Forest Hills Cemetery for a moving remembrance ceremony inspired by Buddhist rituals. Participants decorate lanterns with calligraphy or personal messages for departed friends and family and then, at sunset, light and launch them into Lake Hibiscus.
This ceremony is based on the traditional Japanese Bon Festival -- when a door is thought to open to the world of the ancestors, allowing the living to send messages to the other side.
Some of the messages and tributes, when observed closely, are truly heartbreaking.

Within a day of the bombing, flowers and signs began accumulating at the police barricades along the edges of the secured crime scene. Gradually, the barricades at the intersection of Boylston and Berkeley Streets turned into a full-fledged memorial. Volunteers stepped in to organize and care for the objects being left there. On April 18, Greg Zanis from Aurora, Illinois, contributed three large crosses with the names of Krystle Campbell, Lu Lingzi, and Martin Richard, these became the memorial's centerpiece. Kevin Brown from Brockton, Massachusetts, later made a fourth cross for Sean Collier.
On April 23, the day before Boylston Street reopened to the public, city workers moved the increasing number of posters, flowers, stuffed animals, t-shirts, hats, and shoes to a designated area at Copley Square. There the memorial continued to grow, and runners tied hundreds of pairs of shoes to the barricades that enclosed it on three sides. Several large message boards provided a place for everyone to write their thoughts and feelings.
In late April, Mayor Thomas M. Menino instructed the Boston City Archives to assume responsibility fr the long-term preservation of the objects from the memorial. City workers removed most of the paper items on May 7, before a heavy rain. A month later, the Mayor's Office made a decision to dismantle the temporary memorial. City Archives staff, with help from local preservation professionals and other city workers, boxed up thousands of objects on June 25.
Since then, several organizations have donated their time and resources to assist in preserving this collection. Polygon, a company specializing in water damage recovery, helped dismantle the memorial and then carefully dried the objects. Historic New England then treated the objects in its carbon dioxide chamber to eliminate any pests. And records management company Iron Mountain is currently imaging and housing the bulk of the collection at one of its storage facilities. Because of these collaborative efforts, the objects seen here - and many more - will be preserved in the City Archives collection as reminders of the love and support that this tragedy evoked.
We Stand With Boston
From across the Charles River and across the world, the sings and t-shirts flooded in: We Stand with Boston. In a show of solidarity, people from near and far left words of support, and they did so by naming their own homes. These messages - and the fellowship they impart - suggest that we are more united by our common human compassion than we are divided by out nationalities, sports rivalries, or other allegiances to place.
