Operation Schoolroom
On the 25th of the month the squadron commenced "Operation Schoolroom which was to engage the whole of the squadron for the next twelve days in delivering and distributing 56,000 lbs of school supplies to Laos. The supplies were NEW ZEALAND'S latest gift to an underdeveloped country, under the Colombo Plan.
Flying continuous return shuttles on the "slip-crew" system, the tinned supplies were carried the 1,000 mile journey via BUTTERWORTH and BANGKOK to VIENTIANE, the capital of LAOS. Internal delivery was carried out by S/L OWEN STAPLE with F/L IAN DUFF and F/S P HACCHE as crew and F/O IAN RITCHIE with F/O GORDON THOMPSON and Sgt RAY TURNER as crew. S/L OWEN STAPLE flew the first flight to PAKEE where the crew personally unloaded the 845 tins of supplies, as local labour was not available.
Deliveries were also made to SENO, LUANG PRABANG and XIENG KHOUANG, although a slight delay oocurred due to engine trouble prevented flying on one whole day. The ground crew, under F/L P CULLEN, soon rectified the minor engine trouble and deliveries were completed just before the monsoon weather closed the airport at VIENTIANE.

Samosely or "self-settlers" are illegal residents of the 30 kilometer Zone of Alienation surrounding the most heavily contaminated areas near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Belarus and Ukraine.
We visited the village of Kupuvate, 18 miles from Chernobyl Power Plant, home to Maira and Ivan Ilchenko. They have lived there for almost 80 years. Before the disaster in 1986, the population of this village was just over 300. Now it is 2. They welcomed us into their little house. They greeted us with Vodka and Pig Fat. Of course it custom to eat and drink what you are given :)
Maria showed us her crops, she is growing watermelon and potatoes. She also makes amazing fruit juice and showed us her pantry deep down in the ground. We filled several buckets of water for them from their well and listened to their stories. Maria makes vodka 60% proof and gave us a special batch she made over 30 years ago. She wouldn't let us leave until we had finished the bottle. An experience I will never ever forget.
Starting in the 1930's, a Stewart Jail Cell Division produced jail cells for most of the High Security Penitentiaries in the country. Places like Alcatraz, Leavenworth, Marion and Sing Sing were all Stewart customers.
150 Years ago, R. C. Stewart, Sr. and Wallace A. Stewart formed the Stewart Iron Works Company. From their roots as Stewart family blacksmiths they began a company that would soon produce wrought iron fence and furniture for the entire country.
The company would become known as the "World's Largest Fencemaker" and in 1904 at the St. Louis World's Fair, it was awarded the Grand Prize and Gold Medal Merit for iron fencing and lawn furniture..
During World War I Stewart formed the United States Motor Truck Company and produced trucks for the U. S. Army. Following the war Stewart returned to fence products and sold them in the Sears and Roebuck Co. catalog for many years.
Starting in the 1930's a Stewart Jail Cell Division produced jail cells for most of the High Security Penitentiaries in the country. Places like Alcatraz, Leavenworth, Marion and Sing Sing were all Stewart customers.
During the Second World War, Stewart again shifted to wartime production and provided portable landing equipment for the U.S. Air Force.
Stewart Iron Works is an American ironworks plant in Covington, Kentucky. It is the city's oldest manufacturing firm and at its peak was the largest iron fence maker in the world.
Stewart's is the second-oldest iron company in continuous operation in the United States. Based at 20 West 18th Street, its first location was at 8th & Madison. Owned by the Stewart Iron Works Co., Inc., it was established by the Scottish American Stewart family. The company was founded in 1886 and incorporated in 1910.
Manufacturing materials for prison construction, Stewart marketed to jails using salesmen who were all engineers. As an iron supplier to many major American institutions, Stewart's supplied gates and fences for the Panama Canal, the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., the Taft Museum, as well as the entrance gates to the White House, the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center, and the U.S. House of Representatives,
The steel cell blocks manufactured in the 1930s for Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary and Sing Sing were made by Stewart.
At one time, the company supplied the majority of the U.S.'s cemetery fences and gates.
In 1862, Robert C. Stewart opened a shop in Covington which built iron fences; it was located on 8th Street near Madison. Two of his sons, Robert Jr. and Wallace began a similar business in Wichita, Kansas in 1886. They returned to Covington nine years later, and joined their father's business, along with a third brother. They opened a bridge works plant in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a related service, called Stewart Jail Works. Needing more space, the brothers built a new plant on 8 acres (3.2 ha) near Madison and 17th Streets in 1903. The firm had four buildings to house its five divisions, the jail cell division, a truck division, wrought iron furniture and fence division, and a chain-link fence division. A branch in Cincinnati operated during the period of 1903 through 1915.
The company won the grand prize and gold medal in construction at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. By 1915, the company had 600 employees. Stewart began producing trucks in 1912, which placed the company in debt by the end of the 1920s. During World War I, it was an important supplier of trucks, at its peak producing 100 for the U.S. Army in 1918, but ceased truck manufacturing a decade later.
Prison contracts eased the financial burdens in the 1930s, and in 1936, brother Robert retired. Military contracts kept Stewart busy in the 1940s.
Near bankruptcy by the mid-1950s, John Hunnicutt served as president. After retiring in 1964, Hunnicutt was replaced by Joseph Millburn. In the mid-1960s, Stewart was acquired by Pott Industries (St. Louis) and merged with Decatur Iron and Steel. After Millburn purchased Stewart's fence division from Pott Industries, he moved the company in 1983 to Erlanger, Kentucky. With the Erlanger plant reaching capacity by 1987, Millburn moved the operations to the Covington plant's 60,000 square feet building.
Millburn's sons and Mark Rottinghaus have owned Stewart Iron Works since 1993. It is still in business today.
This was one of the best days of Texas Renaissance Festival this season. A lot of stuff going on - the Benefit Betties, Spin Dancer, Gypsy Dance Theatre fire show - and much much more! Great weather and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. This was part of the Highland Fling weekend so there was plaid everywhere.
I took this photo in late November 2014 at the TRF near Todd's Mission, TX.
We were dazzled by the beauty and design of this gorgeous coat of arms–applied to a house wall in the Ehrenfeld neighborhood–so I just had to post this.
More about its history, according to KölnTourismus, the tourist promotion entity:
"The Cologne coat of arms shows three crowns on a red field and eleven black drops on a white one. Each displayed component has its own meaning, which partially refers to legends.
The crowns symbolise the Three Kings or biblical Magi, the supposed relics of whom are housed in a golden shrine, which is named after them, in the Cologne Cathedral. In 1154, Frederick I Barbarossa Holy Roman Emperor gave them as a gift to Cologne.
According to different understandings, the drops may be interpreted as flames. Locals call them “tears” which derive from ermine tails on the historic Breton heraldry. Brittany was the mother country of Cologne’s Patron Saint Holy Ursula. Together with ten virgins she is said to have been martyred by the Huns. The “tears” commemorate her fate.
Finally, red and white are the colours used by the Hanseatic League which determined the economic development of wide parts of medieval Europe. Together with Lübeck, Cologne is considered as founding city of this alliance."

In 1969 and 1970, Heyerdahl built two boats from papyrus and attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Morocco in Africa. Based on drawings and models from ancient Egypt, the first boat, named Ra (after the Egyptian Sun god), was constructed by boat builders from Lake Chad using papyrus reed obtained from Lake Tana in Ethiopia and launched into the Atlantic Ocean from the coast of Morocco. The Ra crew included Thor Heyerdahl (Norway), Norman Baker (USA), Carlo Mauri (Italy), Yuri Senkevich (USSR), Santiago Genoves (Mexico), Georges Sourial (Egypt), Abdullah Djibrine (Chad). After a number of weeks, Ra took on water after its crew made modifications to the vessel that caused it to sag and break apart. The ship was abandoned and the following year, another similar vessel, Ra II, was built of totora by Demetrio, Juan and Jose Limachi from Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and likewise set sail across the Atlantic from Morocco, this time with great success. The crew was mostly the same, only Djibrine had been replaced by Japanese Kei Ohara and Madani Ait Ouhanni (from Morocco). The boat reached Barbados, thus demonstrating that mariners could have dealt with trans-Atlantic voyages by sailing with the Canary Current.

Napoleonic Conflict
In the late 1700s Dereham church's bell tower was used as a prison for French prisoners of war being transferred from Great Yarmouth to Norman Cross under the charge of the East Norfolk Militia. On 6 October 1799 a French officer, Jean de Narde, managed to escape from the tower and, being unable to escape from the church yard due to guards being present, hid in a tree. The Frenchman was spotted and shot when he refused to come down and surrender. Jean is buried in the church yard, and his grave is marked by a memorial stone erected in 1858, which includes the following statement: "Once our foes but now our allies and brethren."

The East North Militia have one “battle honour” to its “credit” Whilst escorting French prisoners of war from Yarmouth to Norman Cross, The Militia locked up their prisoners for the night in the bell tower of Dereham church – for safe keeping. In spite of this, an officer by the name of Jean De Narde, the 28 year son of a notary from St. Malo, managed to escape from the church. Finding that the Militia had set piquets around the perimeter of the Church he climbed an oak hoping that his absence would go unnoticed and that the party would leave without him thus allowing him to make good his escape. Unfortunately for De Narde, the Militia, realizing that they were missing a prisoner conducted a search of the locality and the Frenchman was spotted on account of him leaving his legs dangling from the tree. The Sergeant was told to get the Frenchman down. The prisoner was called on to surrender. Whether De Narde did not understand English that was yelled at him or perhaps he did not even realise that he had been discovered, De Narde kept to his tree. The Sergeant thereupon shot the Frenchman from the tree, killing him instantly. The local population were apparently ashamed by this action and thought this deed to be one of unnecessary cruelty, according to the Parish Priest, the Reverend Benjamin John Armstrong . Eventually a monument was raised to the unfortunate De Narde and the family in St Malo informed of his fate.

Jean de Narde was a French prisoner of war who had been landed at Yarmouth, and was on his way to Norman Cross prison in 1799. His party was lodged in the Bell Tower of East Dereham church overnight, and he attempted to escape by climbing down the wall but was shot by one of the guards. He was buried in the cemetery and later in the 19th century a headstone was placed above his grave. There is a plaque on the tower wall that relates this story. A contemporary account of prisoners marching through the area records the frequent passage of such prisoners, with East Dereham being one of the halts for the night:
Columns of prisoners often 1,000 strong were marched from Yarmouth to Norwich and lodged in the castle. From Yarmouth they were marched to Lynn halting at Costessey, East Dereham and thence to Lynn. Here the captives were lodged temporarily in an old warehouse on the north side of the King Staith.
The Norman Cross brochure has this text on the front of its folder:
In 1797 the Transport Board of the Admiralty decided that a new prison establishment was required in the east of England, to house the many thousands of French and Dutch prisoners of war arriving in this country. The site had to be inland to hinder escape attempts although within easy access of the coast so that captives could be landed at Kings Lynn and Yarmouth and conveyed to the depot at minimal cost; in a fertile area where the local produce could supply the depot; and on a site that possessed a good water supply. Norman Cross possessed all these attributes and was on the Great North Road so that troops, prisoners and supplies could be conveyed along this route easily. Construction work began in December 1796 and by the following April the prison was ready for the reception of prisoners.
The depot was in use from 1797 to 1814 and housed not only French but Dutch, German, Italian and Polish POWs. These men were captured at the naval battles of Camperduin and Trafalgar and during the Peninsular War. Prisoners also came from enemy privateers and merchant vessels, the capture of the French colonies in the West Indies and from battles such as Maida in 1806 in Italy and the Walcheren campaign of 1809.

The " Bell Tower" (to adopt loyally the indigenous name) stands, not on the church, like most of its contemporaries, but beside it. It was also used as a lock-up or temporary prison in the days when French captives were marched from Yarmouth to Norman Cross, and passed a night at Norwich and Dereham on their way.
One October evening in 1799, a batch of these poor fellows were lodged in the hospitable precincts of this Bell Tower. A prisoner of war by the name of Jean de la Narde, twenty-eight years of age, the son of a notary of St. Malo, thought he would try to escape during the night. He was discovered, however, by the sentry, pursued by the guard just as he had succeeded in climbing into a large tree, and was there shot dead. A neat stone was erected over his remains by the kind-hearted vicar and renewed by the Rev. B. J. Armstrong in 1856.

6. (March 1858)*—“Within the last few days a stone has been placed in the churchyard at East Dereham, in memory of Jean de Narde, a French prisoner of war, who, in the year 1796 while en route from Yarmouth to Norman Cross prison, was lodged in the lower chamber of the bell tower of the church, and escaped therefrom. He was pursued by the guard, and, after some search, was espied in a tree on the Scarning Road, and when summoned by a soldier to descend and surrender he did not comply. His non-compliance forfeited his life, for he was shot off it like a crow. The stone was erected by the vicar and two other gentlemen.”

(I’m leaning towards discounting this version – not only is the year wrong but it’s the only version that implies he managed to get further than the churchyard).
So lots of slight variations on the circumstances of Jeans’ death throughout all those. I believe this headstone was a replacement for one put in place contemporaneously by the then incumbent Vicar.

Novovoronezh (Russian: Нововоро́неж) is a town in Voronezh Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Don River 55 kilometers (34 mi) south of Voronezh. Population: 30,658 (2021 Census); 32,635 (2010 Census); 36,961 (2002 Census); 35,666 (1989 Soviet census).
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as Novovoronezh Urban Okrug—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, this administrative unit also has urban okrug status.
The Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant is located in the town.
Novovoronezh was established along with the start of the future nuclear power plant construction works in 1957. It was then called the urban settlement of Novo-Graessovsky, but renamed its current name later the same year.
The first unit of 210 MW of the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant was put into power on September 30, 1964/
From 1959 to 1963 Novovoronezh was the center of the Novovoronezh district, and its administrative status was upgraded from the urban settlement to a town in 1987.
In 2020, an ambiguous monument was erected in the city to the legendary founder of the city Alyonka, who, according to legend, found a good place and brought her fellow villagers there. Thanks to this monument, Novovoronezh became famous throughout Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The forged sculptural composition, which cost the city a million rubles and caused negative feedback from citizens, was dismantled three days after installation and later sold at auction for 2.6 million rubles. with a starting price of 1 million rubles. The updated monument to Alyonka, but already made of bronze, was opened on July 1, 2022.

The Spirit of Chartwell is an unusual addition to the Luxury Train Club, as it is a luxury River Cruiser. However, the interiors, atmosphere and attentive service are redolent of a luxury train. Indeed, the inspiration behind the riverboat’s public areas was the Rene Lalique 1929 Pullman car ‘Cote d’Azur’ operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. It was previously based in London, England, when in 2012 it was completely refurbished for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. It played a major role in the Thames Pageant, where it was in the flotilla as The Royal Barge, and carried Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth and HRH Prince Philip. This riverboat defines luxury Douro River cruising, setting the standard for service and quality. The finest interior furnishings, the impressive amount of space, and the high number of staff members per guest, all work together to create an elegant, club-like atmosphere for the fortunate few; an environment where every need is predicted and promptly attended to during the calm passage along the majestic Douro River Valley.

Tru2U empowers young girls to face challenges of adolescence
By Joyce Coronel | May 21, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
Decked out in pale pink T-shirts emblazoned with the Tru2U logo, 42 eighth-grade girls from St. Thomas the Apostle listened to Amy Aker tell them how she found her prince.
You could have heard a pin drop.
Aker, an attractive young mother of three, went on to describe how she learned that only God could fulfill all of her needs and be the man of her dreams.
Parents have long worried about the “boy crazy” phase girls go through in the formative years of adolescence. A group of moms from St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School got together and came up with a way to reach and empower young ladies with a message of faith and purity.
Laura Westfall, a nurse practitioner and mother of an eighth-grade daughter, often sees young female patients who must deal with the unanticipated consequences of poor decision-making.
It was while she was on a sunrise hike and reflecting on her daughter’s upcoming graduation that the idea of a retreat for girls came to her. She turned to six other moms at the school who in a short amount of time were able to organize the retreat, held at Mount Claret May 7.
The day began at 6 a.m. with a team-building activity involving ropes and an obstacle course. Then the girls were off to hear a slate of speakers their mothers had arranged.
They learned about the role nutrition plays from fitness expert Tricia Leach who counseled them to make wise choices about food, but most of all, to know who they were before God.
After asking the girls to rate themselves as daughters and students on a scale from 1 to 10, she surprised them by letting them know that no matter how they saw themselves, God considers each one of them to be a “perfect 10.”

By respected Edinburgh architect J M Dick Peddie, 1906-9. A 2-storey and attic symmetrical Beaux Arts school of art with mansard-roofed angle pavilions; later alterations and additions. Red sandstone ashlar.
Built on the site of the Municipal Cattle Market, which was to be moved to a new site at Gorgie. The western section was built from June 1907, then, when the cattle market was vacated, the eastern part, completed in 1912. The College was built after Robert Morham's adjoining fire station, the red sandstone and green slates echoing the materials of the latter.
Wyoming has an unbelievable variety of world class wildlife. From grizzly bears to marmots, golden eagles to cutthroat trout, Wyoming offers something for everyone. BLM lands are vital to big game, upland game, waterfowl, shorebirds, songbirds, raptors and hundreds of species of non-game mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.As you drive through Wyoming, you can’t help but see pronghorn (commonly called antelope after its African cousin). The pronghorn is the fastest land animal in North America, running up to 55 mph. There are almost as many pronghorn in Wyoming as people! Besides pronghorn, Wyoming also is home to many other game animals including bighorn sheep, mountain goat, elk, mule deer, white tail deer and moose.
Mammals of all sizes are abundant: marmots, chipmunks, skunks, raccoons, badgers, rabbits, beaver, prairie dogs, coyotes, foxes, mountain lions and bears.
If you look overhead, try to spot a golden eagle, a Swainson’s hawk or peregrine falcon. Listen closely and you’ll hear the distinctive song of Wyoming’s state bird the western meadowlark. Wyoming is also home to about 40 percent of the Greater Sage-Grouse in the United States.
Anglers travel from all over to take advantage of Wyoming’s world class trout fisheries. Wyoming streams and lakes provide habitat for cutthroat, rainbow, brown, brook, lake, and golden trout. Other popular game fish include walleye, sauger, pike, grayling, ling, bass, bluegill, sunfish, catfish, and carp. Wyoming also manages habitat for several endangered or threatened species like the black footed ferret, the Canada lynx, grizzly bears, trumpeter swans, and the Wyoming toad.
BLM Wyoming manages wildlife habitat in cooperation with other state and federal agencies. When authorizing land use activities, the needs of wildlife, fish and plants must be taken into consideration.
Wyoming’s wildlife is truly worth the watching!
Members of the College of DuPage Engineering Club recently raced cardboard boats in the P.E. Center swimming pool. In the week leading up to the event, club members honed their design skills and knowledge of buoyancy and dynamics to construct the best watercraft. The rules of the competition include three roles of duct tape and as much cardboard as the teams can obtain to create a viable boat for a relay race.

The December 12th 2009 march of the Peoples in Copenhagen united from 30,000 (low government estimate) to 100,000 (high participants estimate) people from all over the world.
See tr.im/Hw9Z
Their messages:
"We want global cooperation between people. We can do it together. Even 100 persons collaborating in 10,000 cities means 1,000,000 people..."
"We want an ambitious, fair and binding legal Treaty."
"I want the governments to act more strongly to stop climate change."
"From Malawi, to the developed countries: give us a fair deal so we can reduce emissions and everyone is less affected by climate change"
"From Brussels: I'm here to protect the life, because we have reached a certain point that we have to act NOW. If I don't for myself, I have to do it for my children, I really hope that this is going to be the real deal, and that we will end this week by significant change. "
"I hope that we will fix some limits that will be reasonable not only for business, but for the Earth. I don't care about business, I care about life, and we are playing a game that we will not survive for a long time."
"I'm here for the children, all the children of the world; because we have to change the direction now, and share this beautiful world we have, we live on, together now. We have to change, to start to live sustainably, and to think always about the children, because they have the answer for us, how we should live our lives."
"I would like to see for the end of the deliberations of COP15 that everybody would take responsibility for their country, to start to only use sustainable energy, to stop the cars, to just live so we can stay on this earth for a long long, much longer time than it looks like now."
"I'm wearing a survival ball, designed to withstand any climate catastrophy, nuclear blast, biological warfare, pretty much anything... I recommend that everybody get one soon, before the real climate crisis happens. I would like to see substantial climate legislation passed, that really reduces our carbon emissions, and protects the ecology."
"A trade union organizer: Traditionally, from the Trade Unions, we are organizers to the big demonstrations. We've been looking forward to a peaceful demonstration. It seems to be rather big, the last numbers I heard was over 100,000. That's very big in Denmark, and in Copenhagen. We have the same interest in climate change as anyone else. We have to do something about it, we have to put pressure on the politicians, so they start acting, stop thinking in profit but act in favor of the climate. They should tighten up, they have to go further than what I've heard today. Twenty to thirty percent cuts in CO2 is not enough!"
"Paramedics: in a big demonstration, ambulance cannot get in, because of violence or police barricades. If people get injured, or get ill, or have any problem right in the streets, then there is an urgent need of paramedics. I hope we don't have much to do. I want to bring the message to the world: it was said that we would be 100,000 people. I didn't count them, I don't know if this is true. But there are a lot of people, it's a strong voice!"
"Germany: I'm here for the global civil movement for radical system change, not climate change. I don't expect anything from the negotiations of the so-called political leaders. I think that we the people all around the world have to take this in our hands, to save the climate and to fight for climate justice, and not to put our hopes on false economical solutions and so-called political leaders who don't do anything. So I'm looking for, after the negotiations, for networking with people all around the world, for strengthening the global movement for climate justice."
"Cape Town: We're fighting against Free Trade. I'm with a group that came from Geneva to Copenhagen by the Climate Justice caravan. What we expect from these negotiations is for the leaders to live up to justice, and to pay for the years of ecological debt that's been caused by the capitalist system; and we expect the northern governments to ... finances and technology to the South without conditions. We condemn the market-based mechanisms that have been promoted in these negotiations. We want a new system, a new Treaty, based on reparations for the people of the South. For 400 years of capitalism and colonialism and exploitation from Europe, 10 billion dollars is really nothing. And if they are pledging, I certainly hope they`re pledging to the UN Adaptation Fund, and not to the World Bank. I think that hundreds of billions are required for reparations, and that governments from the South need to be vigilent, because they have been impacted drastically, people are poor, people are jobless, because of the system; so we need hundreds of billions, that our governemnts need, to make sure that the North pays its ecological debt. Thank you"
"Holland: I'm here to demonstrate because I don't believe that the government is coming up with a good climate solution for the climate problem. They put too much importance on economics. I don't think that the priority is where it should be."
"Holland: I'm here to demonstrate because I truly believe in a greener future, and I'm worried that it's not going to happen with our current governments. So I'm hoping to motivate them with my presence here."
"Holland: I see a culture which is really about the ego, it's really distance from each other, we have to come back to each other, and back to the world."
Tony Cragg 'Points of View' in Museum Belvédère in Oranjewoud NL.
April - September 2021 in the museum park and in four cabinets of the museum.
In Tony Cragg's sculptures, all the forces of the constantly changing nature seem to converge. When you follow the twists, curves and recesses, the images begin to dance almost before your eyes to the rhythm of shadow and reflecting light. Sometimes the contours of faces and bodies emerge, only to disappear again in the whimsical clustering of shapes. Cragg's images are strongly inspired by natural, organic forms and movements and emphatically invite you to view them from all sides. In 'Points of View' this is possible in the park designed by Michael van Gessel around Museum Belvédère, which is owned by Staatsbosbeheer but is freely accessible. The sculptures can be optimally experienced in the open landscape and against the background of the low, rectangular museum complex.
A collaboration with Tony Cragg was a wish that came true thanks to the enthusiastic cooperation of the artist. Cragg made the selection himself and determined the exact placement of the statues in the museum park. They redefine the landscape and make visitors aware of distances, proportions and sightlines. The west wing of the museum features sculptures made of glass, wood, bronze and plastic, as well as sketches, drawings and watercolors by Tony Cragg.
The museum building is a design of architect Eerde Schippers of Inbo architects, Heerenveen.

The Guest House of Imperial Envoys Museum (Chinese: 欽差行臺; pinyin: ch'in ch'ai hsing t'ai) is the former site of the Qing dynasty government yamen that ruled Taiwan.
The hall was built in 1
882, late in the Qing period & is located at Taipei Botanical Garden in Zhongzheng District, Taipei.
The building is the only office of the Qing dynasty remaining in Taiwan.
這處建於清德宗光緒18年(1892年)的建築《欽差行臺》，原是福建臺灣巡撫邵友濂，為接待抵臺灣視察的中央高級官員而興建的行館，鄰近於臺灣巡撫衙門。
臺灣民主國(1895年)大總統唐景崧在任時，將其改為「籌防局」，到了日治時期(1895 ~ 1945)前期，則被日本人充作「臺灣總督府」，歷任七任總督。
大正8年(1919年)，臺灣總督府(今中華民國總統府)新廈完工啟用後，舊廳舍便成了臨時性展覽聚會場所。
昭和6年（1931年）10月，以紀念裕仁天皇登基為由，決定在舊臺灣總督府廳舍前廣場興建臺北公會堂（今中山堂）。
多方考量下，將部分布政使司衙門及欽差行臺建築移入圓山動物園（臺北市立兒童育樂中心昨日世界舊址）、淨土宗臺北別院（今善導寺）及臺北植物園內保存，附近其餘房舍則於1932年8月予以拆除。
可惜的是經過了歷史的更迭，動物園內的建築部分因颱風損毀，臺北別院內的建築部分也已拆除，只有台北植物園內的欽差行臺建築部份，包括了頭門、儀門、大堂與部分廂房，至今被完好地保存，之後又改為「臺灣總督府中央研究所林業部」轄下的「熱帶植物標本陳列室」，現作為「行政院農業委員會林業試驗所林業文物館」。
原址位於今臺北市中山堂附近，設有「清布政使司衙門舊址」紀念石碑一座，部分建築於1932年遷至中正區南海路臺北植物園內西側，是全臺灣僅存的衙門建築，現為國定古蹟。
從今年一月底開始閉館進行展示更新，預定2020年8月1日將重新對外開放，屆時一定要再次造訪，看看《欽差行臺》內的古風建築。

My mother says I have been overtaken by a "cooking frenzy." This is, in large measure, true. I have not had a lot to photograph lately and cooking, for me anyway, is very therapeutic. So, even though I spent some time at work, answered lots of emails, sent several query letters about jobs and did other bits of this and that, I have still tried to fill me late afternoons with cooking.
There is something of a slump in the bar business and the photography business this time of year. Being idle makes me a little stir crazy and as I presently have nothing else to really devote my attention to once the day's work is done, I have been in my kitchen.
What you will find below is a sort of Beef Bourguignon or Beef Burgundy recipe. It owes a lot to the basic pot roast concept and relies heavily on hearty winter vegetables. You might want to read the recipe all the way through before trying it yourself as there are a few options of how to follow through with the process. The grilling, for instance, adds a little smokiness to the dish but is not necessary if you don't feel like firing up your grill. I can also see this dish being very successful with a reduction in some of the root vegetable and the addition of other winter staples like parsnips, whole garlic cloves or fennel bulbs. Anyway, have fun with it. These sorts of cuts of meat are very forgiving provided you give them long enough to break down a little over low heat and a long cooking time. If you try to rush it, you will end up with a tough roast, and no one appreciates that on a plate. Without further ado:
Beef Bourguignon
1 Beef Roast, about 2lbs (preferable Chuck or Round)
1 Large Yellow Onion, Diced
1 Bunch of Carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal
4 Medium Turnips, peeled, ½ inch chop
5 Medium Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled, ½ inch chop
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
3 tbsp Your favorite Dry Rub (you can mix up a batch of mine, recipe can be found here)
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp Dry Mustard
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Dried Thyme
1 tbsp Dried Oregano
2 tbsp Canola Oil
1 tsp Smoked, Sweet Paprika
1 tbsp Paprika
1 Bay Leaf
1 Can of Lager Style Beer
1 Bottle Red Wine, just whatever you have around. It doesn’t have to be a Burgundy
3c Vegetable Broth
There are two ways to do this. One really just adds an aesthetic flourish but both
accomplish the same in, which is to brown the Roast. First heat your grill to its maximum heat (about 500F). Clean the grill well and oil the grate with the Canola Oil using an oil soaked paper towel held with tongs. Cover the Roast with the Dry Rub and allow to the meat to stand for a while so that it approaches room temperature. Sear the two largest sides of the Roast for about 16 minutes total, turning 90° at 4-minute intervals to achieve nice grill marks and flip it half way through the grilling.
Add the Olive Oil to a large, heavy bottomed, pot and heat it over medium heat. Take your seared Roast (or raw and if you are skipping the grilling part) and sear each side that didn’t get grilled (or the whole thing), one side at a time or until a nice fond has developed on the bottom of the pot and there is a notable browning of the meat. Remove the Roast and set aside. Add the Onions to the pot and stir. Then add in the Beer and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze ( get up all the tasty bits). Add the Garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, still over medium heat. Add about 1 cup of the red wine and allow the mixture to reduce until most of the liquid is gone. Add your herbs and spices— Dry Mustard, Salt, Pepper, Thyme, Oregano, Smoked Paprika and regular Paprika. Stir the whole concoction together then place the Roast in the middle of this flavorful and fine smelling mixture.
Surround the roast with the chopped Potatoes, Turnips and Carrots. Then add the remaining Red Wine and the Vegetable Stock. Stir enough to bring some of the Onion and spice mixture up from the bottom. Slip the Bay Leaf into the pot and allow the liquid to come back to a boil (about 5 minutes). Then reduce the heat and cook, securely covered and on low, for about 3 and 1/2 hours or until the Roast is fork tender. Flip the roast from time to time to ensure even cooking. Once the roast is falling apart, pull it apart a bit and allow to cook a while longer so that the liquids can permeate the interior of the Roast.
If you prefer your vegetables to hold a bit more of their shape then wait to add the Potatoes, Turnips and Carrots until the Roast and liquid combination has cooked for about an hour.
