This is Marshall Foch, the supreme allied commander at the end of the first world war. He is leading the French contingent in the Victory march through London on Peace Day, Saturday 19th July 1919.
Here is how the Times reported his arrival in the UK.
FOCH'S ARRIVAL.
GREAT RECEPTION.
Marshal Foch arrived at Victoria Station by special train from Folkestone at five minutes to 11 o'clock yesterday morning, in order to ride at the head of the French Contingent in to-day’s Peace pageant. The misunderstanding which had existed almost until the last moment as to whether he would arrive at Charing Cross or Victoria did not seem to have affected the size of the crowds in the slightest degree. The precincts of Victoria; Station and the thoroughfares along which it was known that Marshal Foch would proceed in the Royal carriage on his way to the Carlton Hotel, where he is staying during his visit, were crowded and at certain points impassable.
The decorations in honour of General Pershing when he arrived at the same platform a few days ago had given place to a new and equally effective decorative scheme in which the French and British national colours predominated. Over the platform entrance to the Royal waiting-rooms, looking on to the carpeted platform, and extending, for a considerable distance, was a purple background, fringed with corded tassels in blue and gold. Immediately above the arch the French National Standard and the Union Jack were draped over a shield wreathed in laurels. Large palms and other foliage had been arranged on each side in the shape of pillars, with red carnations and white and pale blue marguerites nestling at the bases.
A distinguished and representative company, including the French Ambassador and other officials of the French Government in London, were in the enclosure on the platform. Sir Douglas Haig, who when in Paris for the French Peace march personally invited Marshal Foch to return the compliment by coming to London, was an early arrival, and when the train steamed into the station the waiting company included the Hon. Sir Charles Wentworth Fitzwilliam (Master of the King‘s Horse), Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, General Sir Henry Wilson, General J.E.B. Seely, General Sir Geoffrey Fielding (Commanding the London District), General Sir Hugh Trenchard, General Travers Clarke, and Sir Robert F. Synge (representing Lord Curzon).
Sir Douglas Haig was the first to greet the Marshal, and as the door of the saloon was opened they clasped each other's right hand The hand-shaking being continued until Marshal Foch had alighted safely on the platform. General Sir Henry Horne, who had accompanied Marshal Foch from Folkestone, next left the train, followed by General Weygand (Marshal Foch’s Chief of staff), General Débeney, who is to be in command of the French troops in the Peace march, and General Laguiche, who commanded a French division, and General Gibon-Guilhem and General Desvoyes, who commanded brigades. Marshal Foch next conversed in turn with General Sir Henry Wilson, Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, and other members of the company, and then, accompanied by Sir Douglas Haig, he passed through the floral arch into the Royal waiting-room. As the Marshal entered the courtyard he was received by a guard of honour provided by the Welsh Guards, while the band of the Irish Guards hailed his appearance by playing the “ Marseillaise.” After taking the salute Marshal Foch, with Haig and General Sir Henry Wilson, inspected the guard of honour. As he took his seat in the first of the three Royal carriages the cheering by the members of that part of the crowd enabled to catch a glimpse of Marshall Foch was the signal for an outburst of great enthusiasm. The cheering and the hat and handkerchief waving quickly extended as the carriage containing Marshal Foch, Sir Douglas Haig, General Weygand, and General Sir Henry Wilson moved out of the courtyard into Wilton Road, and were continued until the smiling Marshal had passed by. His reception through the gaily decorated streets immediately to the Carlton Hotel was most inspiring and wonderful outward expression of the Warmth of London's admiration.
IN THE STREETS.
The short route from Victoria Station to the Carlton Hotel was crowded with people determined to see and to cheer Marshal Foch. Until a few minutes before the special train arrived it was still doubtful whether he would come to Victoria or to Charing Cross, and so the Strand and Trafalgar square were thronged, and at the last minute, Just before the scarlet liveries were to be seen at the West end of Pall Mall, there was a wild rush across the Square to the hotel. The crush there was tremendous. With difficulty the people were kept on the pavements - there was not a great number of police on duty - when Marshal Foch and Sir Douglas Haig were abreast of the south entrance to the Carlton the crowd streamed over the roadway and thronged round the carriages. Cheer after cheer was given and acknowledged, and then a fresh crowd came pouring down the Haymarket. The carriages wheeled to the left and pulled up in front of the door opposite Suffolk place, and Marshal Foch and Sir Douglas Haig and the other French officers went into the hotel. But the crowd was by no means satisfied. Cheers and rattles mingled in a wild outburst of welcome and presently an upper window was opened and Marshal’Foch came out on to the balcony. The cheering was redoubled immediately and people began calling " Haig - Haig! ” But the British Field Marshal did not appear and presently he drove away in a closed car.
SALUTE AT FOLKESTONE.
Soon after 7 O’clock yesterday morning Marshal Foch, with General Weygand, the Chief of Staff, left Boulogne for Folkestone in the destroyer Engaganie. A heavy fog hung over the Channel, and the destroyer had to travel at reduced speed. At Folkestone fog syrens were blown and fog guns fired for half an hour before the arrival of the Engaganie, and it was not until a few minutes to 9 that the French vessel was heard off the pier head. It suddenly loomed up out of the fog to the east of the pier. Two fast British destroyers met the visitors in the Channel, and acted as escort as far as Folkestone.
On the quay many naval and military officers had assembled, and among them were Admiral Yelverton, General Sir Henry Home, Commanding the Eastern Command, Major General E. M. Perceval, commanding troops in Shorncliffe area, General Corisait, commanding the 16th French Army Corps, and Sir Stephen Penfold (Mayor of Folkestone). No time was lost in running a gangway down to the destroyer, and these officers then welcomed the Marshal.
On the East Cliff a battery of Royal Field Artillery was stationed, and as soon as Marshal Foch stepped on the quay they fired a salute. and the band of the 2nd Middlesex Regiment played the Marseillaise, Marsha! Foch and the other oficers standing to the salute. A Guard of Honour from the Middlesex Regiment, under the command of Major Grove White, immediately presented arms and were inspected by Marshal Foch. A special train was waiting at the Harbour Station, and the guests immediately entered the special saloon reserved for them and left for London.

This is Banderu Seijin with metallic green highlights on navy blue vinyl base version by Marmit released in 1996. There is a story behind this figure. It came to me by misunderstanding…. I already have a blue one like this (www.flickr.com/photos/51940189@N04/6451626009/ ) but what happened was that when I made an order for the other figure, the guy in Japan, who can’t speak even a simple word of English took this one by the difference of one syllable of Katakana. Each time I make orders to him I use my terrible Japanese – however, which is hundred times better than his nonexistent English…. – but because of one syllable difference (though I used the correct one for the item but he didn’t read it carefully as two items are quite similar in spelling) he sent me something quite different. Well, I don’t mind this one as I like it anyway, but what I hate this time was that he blamed me for not using “correct” Japanese then he cut off further communication completely and no reply to my emails saying that I will take it anyway so don’t worry about what’s happened and so on. Maybe he’s worried that I will ask for the refund. You know, in the world a war can happen because of one incorrect translation of a sentence….. “One small translation error, giant genocide for mankind” kinda thing.......

in other news, it's been noted that mayor mcbigot has been hanging around with neo-nazis (other than those belonging to federal and provincial conservative parties). the white supremacist, true to form, claims that he isn't a bigot, in much the same manner that the mayor makes similar claims. since the magic of the internet is available, though, it's been easily proven over and over that jon latvis is a filthy fucking racist and like all bigots, doesn't have the courage to stand up for his odious beliefs when a light is shone on him. mayor rob ford, similarly cried out that it was all a big misunderstanding that he met with a neo-nazi - twice - and that the big mean media was once again picking on him unfairly.
bullshit. latvis played lead guitar and other instruments for rahowa, a white supremacist band, and wrote many of their lyrics. from 1990 on, latvis was a member of the band, has never divorced himself from their disgusting beliefs (until just now, and only in the form of lying about his history), and wrote many of their most bigoted songs. oh, and he has a tattoo of a swastika, which he claims is really a 'cross of thunder'. sure, kid. and your song triumph of the will is really all about rik emmett rewriting shakespeare.
as for ford, he's a stupid fucking liar, a bigot and like his skinhead buddy, too much of a chickenshit coward to stand up and say what he believes. instead, he expects that the right-wing press will play down the story, excuse his unforgiveable behaviour and make accusations against the people who brought the topic out in the open.
many thanks to anti-racist canada for starting the ball rolling, and to warren kinsella for spreading the story around. now magazine has pushed the news along after the usual assholes at the national post did nothing but claim that kinsella is a liberal spin doctor (no, they really made that a big point in their write-up), that ford loves meeting with citizens (as long as they're also hateful bigots), and restated the ridiculous claim that latvis gave ford and his handlers a different name. yeah, i'm sure that latvis bothered to engage in subterfuge because everyone knows that fuckhead ford would have checked into his background and been very professional about matters. the final claim from the ford (concentration) camp is also ridiculous - apparently latvis wanted to discuss transit with the mayor. no word on whether latvis and ford discussed shipping dissidents and other unsavoury characters to prison camps in boxcars, but i'm sure the mayor's office would just describe that as an improvement on lrts.
it's been interesting to watch the reaction from the city's jewish community. unfortunately the jewish press skews pro-conservative, and the mayor's henchmen were quick to offer an apology to the centre for israel and jewish affairs. cija, of course, quickly restated many of the points that the morons at the national post made, including an attempt to discredit kinsella. it's interesting that cija would brush aside rob ford's connection to a neo-nazi. politics does indeed make strange bedfellows, and i suppose it must just be expedient for a jewish advocacy group to make light of antisemitic hate group representatives when they are invited to meet with local politicians. true friends, indeed.
this fucking bigot ford needs to be removed from office. you might not be queer, jewish, female, a cyclist, a library user, a union member, italian, or a member of any other group who fuckface ford clearly hates, but as long as you're not a bigot, it's obvious that he is not a decent human being or fit for public office.

These fish had such a tragic look to them I had to take a picture. Forgive me if I say it reminded me of how we looked after our Organic Chemistry test this week. And then I got this:
I used to have a friend that gave me the silent treatment every time she was mad at me. Of course, at the time we were both 12. Was going to see if racquetball on Sun would work, but am now kind of glad I hadn't gotten around to asking yet. If you plan to continue being a needy little drama queen, please let me know as I should start giving you back all the stuff I never asked for.
We've talked since and agreed it was a simple misunderstanding though I still feel kinda singed. It's been a tough week.

Owing to a spouse-related misunderstanding, we discovered at half past midnight that the only Easter Egg in the house was one that Jacqui had bought for me. And one my folks had bought for Tara.
So, at an unsociable hour this morning, I was up and pacing the streets in a largely fruitless hunt for Easter Eggs. I seeked them here, I seeked them there. Everyone had sold out, except the newsagent near the Workshop, who didn't sell them to begin with. Even the Green Grocer had sold out, despite having a blackboard outside advertising their stock.
I eventually had a sort of success in.. *shudder*.. A Tesco filling station. Ye Gods.
This is a shot of me at Earlham House, having just discovered the reality gap at the Green Grocer's, and pondering whether to wait nearly half an hour for the Co-op to open.
I didn't.

I didn't think it was a big deal. Just a small communications issue. I told them I'd take care of it. Everything would work out fine. I told them I knew sign language so it wouldn't really matter. They didn't listen. At least they let me keep it. I have it in a jar by the side of my bed. Really, the only drawback is that I can't taste my whiskey anymore.

@VealSlab says:
hey,
don't get me wrong in misunderstandings, but I want to say something. I
don't mean to be a negative nancy or anything, and so this is the first time
I've addressed any member of the public/private persons I know of in life on
this issue, but I want you all to realize something: Some people, me
included, were born into a world where dudes and gals dressing in the style
this man's style is characteristic of, was a normal thing- if not THE NORM.
Yeah- and you all remember those shorts that men were asked to wear about by
fashion trends back then? the yellow ones with thick, white seams that had
an almost V shape on the sides of the thighs? The part of the thighs,
actually, which were almost the hip? yeah- the ones where, if your penis was
bigger than .02" in length at any time, it would basically be plainly
visible to everyone? and people wore those outside, you see- and well, i was
born in love with women immediately, you see- and that, to me, that trend,
was kinda a form of child abuse- and then you have douchey-looking
mc-douchey-looking non-douche (because George Harrison can NEVER be a
douche) (especially now dead), but ... you have these guys right? And I am
supposed to look up to these people? (think morgan freeman in batman dark
knight saying 'and your plan is to blackmail these people?') so... yeah...
all i am saying this for is for the reason to say, "Nobody has apologized to
me for this reality yet, bringing me into the world with this .... this....
utter, complete, shit. It is SHIT. All living before my life began are SHIT
for allowing it- unless like me, they too were born into SHIT like that
goddamn shirt and those fucked up glasses, and guys running about the
elementary school with yellow shorter-than-necessary shorts but NO WOMEN
doing it---- SHEESH. In fact, while we're witnessing this, can we not all
admit that A. it's OBVIOUS this stuff has caused me undue emotional harm and
B. it's a sign of my excellent breeding I can explain this and also not be a
convicted criminal- as it is my reality this SHIT- and C. Sorry about this,
but not as sorry as all of you alive before me will always be to me in my
heart, mind, thoughts, and imagination, forever.

While driving home from the chapel last week, I was praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. My plan was to pray the Sorrowful Mysteries in the afternoon and the Glorious Mysteries in the evening before going to bed. For many years, I had simply prayed the five decades designated for the day in order to fulfill Our Lady’s request at Fatima that her children pray the Rosary every day for the Consecration of Russia and the peace of Christ in the world. At least I thought that was the nature of her request. More on that misunderstanding will be clarified momentarily.
Then, one evening in December, one of our parishioners in Southern California mentioned to me that he prays the whole Rosary every day because if Our Lady said that Francisco would go to Heaven only after praying many Rosaries, and he died at the tender age of ten, then how many more would we have to pray to get there! That struck a chord with me.
I now believe that it is good to pray the entire Rosary daily for three reasons.
Our Lady asked for the full Rosary
The first reason is that when the Virgin Mary asked us at Fatima to pray the Rosary every day, she was not asking for five decades. She was asking for fifteen. When Our Lady says “Pray the Rosary,” she is speaking of what has been termed her Psalter, a word referring to the Book of Psalms, which contains one hundred and fifty Psalms of David. From the time of St. Dominic, “Mary’s Psalter” was the 150 Hail Marys. In 1569 St. Pope Pius V, himself a Dominican, issued an apostolic letter establishing the fifteen-decades as the official Church-authorized Rosary.
Pope St. Pius V established the 15-decade Rosary in 1569
For some, if not many, it may seem like too much to ask, given so many other daily responsibilities, to pray the whole Rosary. They will say that even one of the Mysteries, that is, a set of five decades, is difficult.
I would respond that each one of us is awake at least fifteen hours of the day. Some are awake a few hours longer, but for the sake of argument, we will use the figure fifteen hours. Yes, it would be very nice to get nine hours of sleep at night! If each of us prayed one decade of the Rosary each waking hour, which amounts to five minutes out of every sixty of our day, we would pray the entire Rosary every day.
Oh sure, some days we could get tied up for two to three hours at a time at work and subsequently “fall behind” in this commitment. But then there is always the ride home, which for most people is more than five to ten minutes, so decades can be made up for in the drive. It does take a little bit of planning ahead and at times those unexpected circumstances do arise. Hard working mothers who are home with their children also face varying circumstances. But, as the old saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
A special efficacy in praying the 15 decades
This leads to the second reason why I believe this is a very important commitment for us as Catholics to make. Our Lady said that she had obtained from God a special efficacy to be attached to the praying of the Rosary so that there was nothing that we could request from her that we could not obtain through the daily Rosary. If we believe our Mother when she speaks to us, then this statement alone should fill us with great confidence and the desire to ask Our Lady’s intercession for our spiritual and temporal welfare by praying the Rosary. It is like what Jesus said to His Apostles on the night before He died, “Whatever you ask for in My Name, it will be given to you.”
The Virgin Mary at Fatima was God’s last olive branch for peace in the world today. Is it any wonder that there is such an overlap between the generosity of Jesus and His Mother Mary? In fact, Jesus revealed to Sister Lucia in the 1930s that He wanted Mary’s Immaculate Heart to be honored alongside His, and hearts that love the same things share the same dispositions towards others. In fact, His request simply reiterated what Our Lady herself had already revealed on July 13, 1917: that God wants to establish devotion to her Immaculate Heart in the world.
maybe we've found what we have lost
when we've unwound so many crossed entangling
misunderstandings

Nakhon Pathom is a small province located just 56 Km's. from Bangkok. The province features an ancient religious structure called Phra Pathom Chedi, the first religious landmark that signified the influx of Buddhism into Thailand. Nakhon Pathom is also renowned for its abundant fruits varieties and famous dishes. Phra Pathommachedi or Phra Pathom Chedi is a Stupa in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. At 120.5 metres ( 395 ft ) it is the second tallest stupa in the world after Jetavanaramaya in Sri Lanka. The Stupa is located in the Wat Phra Pathommachedi Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan a temple in the town centre of Nakhon Pathom, Thailand.
The name Phra Pathommachedi means the first holy stupa, given by king Mongkut. Originally the Stupa named Phra Thom Chedi means the big stupa in ancient Khmer language or the royal stupa in Northern Thai language. One of the common misunderstandings about this stupa is that Phra Pathommachedi is the oldest and the first stupa in Suvarnabhumi, an ancient name of Southeast Asia. Modern Historians believe that the stupa was one of the principal stupas of ancient Nakhon Pathom, the largest settlement of Dvaravati culture in Nakhon Pathom area together with the nearby Phra Prathon Chedi during the 6th to the 8th centuries.
Nakhon Pathom was situated by the sea, the city prospered during the Dvaravati civilisation. According to archaeological findings, Nakhon Pathom was the first city to possess influences of Buddhism and Indian civilisations. From the Phra Pathom Chedi and other remains discovered in the city area, it is believed that the city was a centre of civilisation in that era. People of different races settled in Nakhon Pathom. However, a change in the course of the river caused a draught that forced the people to migrate and settle on the banks of river, and these communities developed into towns. The new town was called Nakhon Chaisi or Sirichai, leaving Nakhon Pathom deserted for hundreds of years until the reign of King Rama IV. While His Majesty was in monk hood, he travelled to Nakhon Pathom and found the Phra Pathom Chedi that he regarded as the largest pagoda of all.
When King Rama IV ascended to the throne, he commanded that a bell shaped Chedi be built to cover the former Chedi. The surrounding area was also renovated and improved. He also commanded that a water canal be dug to ease commuting, which was called Chedi Bucha canal. During the reign of King Rama V, the construction of railways to the south began, at that time Nakhon Pathom was still a heavily forested area. King Rama V also commanded that the town be relocated from Tambon Thana, Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, to the Phra Pathom Chedi area as it used to be. Nakhon Pathom has been there ever since. During the reign of King Rama VI, a palace was built at Tambon Sanam Chan as a temporary residence on his travels and many roads were constructed. A large bridge was also built over the Chedi Bucha canal, which His Majesty named “Saphan Charoensattha”. Later, he commanded that the name of Nakhon Chaisi be changed to Nakhon Pathom, but the name of the prefecture was still called “Nakhon Chaisi” until the reign of King Rama VII when the calling of the prefecture was ended. Nakhon Chaisi is now one of the districts in Nakhon Pathom.
Nakhon Pathom covers an area of 2,168 square kilometres or 542,081.6 acres. It is divided into seven administrative districts or Amphoe, they are: Amphoe Muang Nakhon Pathom, Amphoe Buddhamonthon, Amphoe Sam Phran, Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, Amphoe Bang Len, Amphoe Kamphaeng Saen, and Amphoe Don Toom. Most of the areas are plains with no mountainous land, plateau are found in the west east of Amphoe Muang and Amphoe Kamphaeng Saen. The plains along the Tha Cheen River (Nakhon Chaisi River) are the location of Amphoe Nakhon Chaisi, Amphoe Sam Phran, and Amphoe Bang Len. These fertile lands provide agricultural area for people, thus most of the residents earn their living from agriculture; plantations, farming, growing food crops, and fruit orchards. Moreover, Nakhon Pathom is well known for pomelo, some call the Nakhon Pathom the sweet pomelo town.

About one hour drive from Bangkok is the Rose Garden and Cultural Centre. It is situated at Sampran in the Province of Nakhon Pathum. It is a 70 acre site designed to give you a full day out. There is so much to do here. The Restaurant sits on the lake and the food served here is first class you can eat what you like - until you are full, very good value if you are a big eater.The Rose Garden and restaurant were started over 40 years ago and has now included the Cultural Centre and show, a hotel and other restaurants and a spa. Tourist buses usually arrive around 2.0 pm in time for the Thai Cultural Village show at 2.45 pm.
This attraction is usually taken in along with the Damnoen Saduak Floating market trip which is around 1800 Baht by taxi from Bangkok, but do check first, prices do vary. But the Rose Garden is worth a trip on its own, because there is so much to get involved with during the day. In the mornings you can take part in the Living the Thai Culture, an art and craft activity and cost around 500 Baht per person. These included Dancing / Musical Instruments / Garland Making / Fruit Carving / Bamboo Dancing Rice Farming among others.
The Gardens have many exotic flowers and there are some traditional Thai houses. One is used for weddings and another used for a spa centre. Most people go for the Thai Cultural show, with highlights of Thai Martial Art display, and a Traditional Thai wedding display. There is a cast of about 120 people that take part in this display and it is well attended. It is very colourful and impressive to watch, in all around 40 minutes.
The police presence wasn’t insanely out-of-proportion, but it did betray a complete misunderstanding of this respectful, peaceful march which included people of all ages.

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

The "massacre of Gorla" or "little martyrs of Gorla" are the names under which it is known the result of an allied air raid that hit a primary school in Milan, October 20th, 1944, during the Second World War.
On that morning, 36 B-24 bombers of the 451º Bomb Group took off from Foggia, commanded by Colonel James B. Knapp, with the task of destroying the Breda factory in Sesto San Giovanni. Due to a misunderstanding, most of the bombs reached the urban district of Gorla in Milan. One of the bombs, fatally, fell in the central stairwell of the primary school "Francesco Crispi", reaching the underground shelter of the building and killing 184 children and the entire faculty.
On the ground where the primary school once was, granted by the City of Milan to the relatives of the victims, a monument was erected, called the "little martyrs of Gorla". It was created by sculptor Remo Brioschi and inaugurated on the third anniversary of the massacre.
In the crypt, in subsequent years were transferred the remains of the dead children and their teachers.
In memory.

La "strage di Gorla" o "piccoli martiri di Gorla" sono le denominazioni con cui vengono chiamate le conseguenza di un bombardamento aereo alleato che colpì una scuola elementare di Milano, il 20 ottobre 1944, durante la seconda guerra mondiale.
il mattino del 20 ottobre 1944, dall'aeroporto di Foggia decollarono i 36 bombardieri "B-24" del 451º Bomb Group, al comando del colonnello James B. Knapp, con il compito di distruggere gli stabilimenti della Breda di Sesto San Giovanni. In seguito ad un errore, la maggior parte delle bombe raggiunse il quartiere milanese di Gorla. Uno degli ordigni, fatalmente, centrò il vano scale della scuola elementare "Francesco Crispi", raggiungendo il rifugio sotterraneo dell'edificio e causando la morte di 184 bambini e dell'intero corpo docente.
Sul terreno dove sorgeva la scuola elementare, concesso dal Comune di Milano ai parenti delle vittime, venne innalzato il monumento ossario intitolato ai "Piccoli Martiri di Gorla", realizzato dallo scultore Remo Brioschi ed inaugurato nel terzo anniversario della strage.
Nella cripta, durante gli anni successivi vennero trasferite, a gruppi, le spoglie dei bambini morti a Gorla in seguito al bombardamento e dei loro insegnanti.
In memoria.
Evidently Voodoo is a bit confused about how to use a blanket - this is one of their new Christmas blankets.
I guess WCC stood for Westmorland County Constabulary
This police station was still in use the last time I passed by in the last 5 years or so. The centenary year would have been 2010.
I think its a pity that these little cop shops close down - the closer the police are to the community, the less scope for misunderstandings.
