The Postcard
A Gibson Lines postcard that was published by the Gibson Art Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The card was posted in Cincinnati using a 1 cent stamp on Tuesday the 20th. December 1921.
It was sent to:
Mr. & Mrs. N. H. (surname deleted),
Felicity,
Ohio.
Felicity is a village in Franklin Township, Clermont County, Ohio. The population was 651 individuals at the 2020 census.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Uncle and Aunt,
Hope this card finds you
both well, and that your
Xmas stocking will be
full to overflowing.
Ada and Charlie."
The Significance of Holly
The European holly, Ilex aquifolium is commonly referenced at Christmas time, and is sometimes referred to by the name Christ's thorn.
In many Western Christian cultures, holly is a traditional Christmas decoration, used especially in wreaths and illustrations, for instance on Christmas cards.
Since medieval times the plant has carried Christian symbolism, as expressed in the Christmas carol "The Holly and the Ivy", in which the holly is said to represent Jesus and the ivy to represent the Virgin Mary.
Christians have identified a wealth of symbolism in its form:
The sharpness of the leaves help to recall the crown of thorns worn by Jesus; the red berries serve as a reminder of the drops of blood that were shed for salvation; and the shape of the leaves, which resemble flames, can serve to reveal God's burning love for His people.
Combined with the fact that holly maintains its bright colors during the Christmas season, it naturally came to be associated with the Christian holiday.
Mistletoe
Mistletoe is the common name for obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. They are attached to their host tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they extract water and nutrients from the host plant.
There are hundreds of species of mistletoe which mostly live in tropical regions.
The name mistletoe originally referred to the species Viscum album (European mistletoe); it is the only species native to the British Isles and much of Europe. The genus Viscum is not native to North America, but Viscum album was introduced to Northern California in 1900.
European mistletoe has smooth-edged, oval, evergreen leaves borne in pairs along the woody stem, and waxy, white berries that it bears in clusters of two to six.
-- Mistletoe Life Cycle
Mistletoe species grow on a wide range of host trees, some of which experience side effects including reduced growth, stunting, and loss of infested outer branches.
A heavy infestation may also kill the host plant. Viscum album successfully parasitizes more than 200 tree and shrub species.
All mistletoe species are hemiparasites, because they do perform some photosynthesis for some period of their life cycle. However, in some species its contribution is very nearly zero.
A mistletoe seed germinates on the branch of a host tree or shrub, and in its early stages of development it is independent of its host. The adhesive on the seed tends to darken the bark. On having made contact with the bark, the hypocotyl, with only a rudimentary scrap of root tissue at its tip, penetrates it, a process that may take a year or more. In the meantime the plant is dependent on its own photosynthesis.
Only after it reaches the host's conductive tissue may it begin to rely on the host for its needs. Later, it forms a haustorium that penetrates the host tissue and takes water and nutrients from the host plant.
Most mistletoe seeds are spread by birds who eat the 'seeds' (in actuality drupes). Of the many bird species that feed on them, the mistle thrush is the best-known in Europe.
Depending on the species of mistletoe and the species of bird, the seeds are regurgitated from the crop, excreted in their droppings, or stuck to the bill and causing the bird to have to wipe it off onto a branch.
The seeds are coated with a sticky material called viscin. Some viscin remains on the seed and when it touches a stem, it sticks tenaciously. The viscin soon hardens and attaches the seed firmly to its future host, where it germinates and its haustorium penetrates the sound bark.
-- Toxicity of Mistletoe
There are 1500 species of mistletoe, varying widely in toxicity to humans; the European mistletoe (Viscum album) is more toxic than the American mistletoe (Phoradendron serotinum).
In European mistletoe (Viscum), viscumin is the dangerous active toxin. It acts by irreversibly inhibiting ribsomal protein synthesis in cells, which leads to the death of the affected cell, tissue damage in the area of exposure from mass cell death in the very short term, with the potential for organ failure and death depending on the level of exposure.
Mistletoe has been used historically in medicine for its supposed value in treating arthritis, high blood pressure, epilepsy, and infertility.
-- The Cultural Importance of Mistletoe
Mistletoe is relevant to several cultures. Pagan cultures regarded the white berries as symbols of male fertility, with the seeds resembling semen. The Celts, particularly, saw mistletoe as the semen of Taranis, while the Ancient Greeks referred to mistletoe as "oak sperm".
In Roman mythology, mistletoe was used by the hero Aeneas to reach the underworld.
The Romans associated mistletoe with peace, love, and understanding, and hung it over doorways to protect the household.
In the advent of the Christian era, mistletoe in the Western world became associated with Christmas as a decoration under which lovers are expected to kiss, as well as with protection from witches and demons.
Mistletoe continued to be associated with fertility and vitality through the Middle Ages, and by the eighteenth century it had also become incorporated into Christmas celebrations around the world. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe is referred to as popular among servants in late eighteenth-century England.
The serving class of Victorian England is credited with perpetuating the tradition. The tradition dictated that a man was allowed to kiss any woman standing underneath mistletoe, and that bad luck would befall any woman who refused the kiss.
One variation on the tradition stated that with each kiss a berry was to be plucked from the mistletoe, and the kissing must stop after all the berries had been removed.
Mistletoe is the floral emblem of the U.S. state of Oklahoma, and the flower of the UK county of Herefordshire.
Every year, the UK town of Tenbury Wells holds a mistletoe festival and crowns a 'Mistletoe Queen'.
Sir George Fuller
So what else happened on the day that Ada and Charlie posted the card?
Well, on the 20th. December 1921, Sir George Fuller took office as the new Premier of the Australian state of New South Wales, seven days after Premier James Dooley had lost a vote of confidence in the state legislature.
However, only seven hours after Fuller had formed a government and had become the head of government as premier, he lost another vote of confidence in the legislature and was not seated.
On the 27th. December 1921, James Dooley was appointed premier again after forming a new government.
The Russian Famine Relief Act
Also on that day, the U.S. Senate voted to pass the Russian Famine Relief Act, and approved the appropriation of $20,000,000 ($300 million in 2021) for that purpose.
The vote was pursuant to the request of President Harding, subject to the condition that all purchases of food be made in the U.S. and shipped to the Soviet Union in American vessels.
Julius Richard Petri
The 20th. December 1921 also marked the death at the age of 69 of the German microbiologist Julius Richard Petri.
Julius, who was born on the 31st. May 1852, is generally credited with inventing the device known as the Petri dish, which is named after him, while working as assistant to bacteriologist Robert Koch.
-- Julius Richard Petri - The Early Years
Petri was born in the town of Barmen (now a district of the city of Wuppertal), Germany. He came from a distinguished family of scholars, and was the eldest son of Philipp Ulrich Martin Petri (1817–1864), a professor in Berlin, and Louise Petri.
Petri's grandfather, Viktor Friedrich Leberecht Petri (1782–1857), was also a scholar, being both a director and professor at the Collegium Carolinum in Brunswick (Braunschweig), Germany.
Petri initially studied medicine at the Kaiser Wilhelm Academy for Military Physicians (1871–1875) and received his medical degree in 1876.
He continued his studies at the Charité Hospital in Berlin where his thesis on the chemistry of protein urine tests earned him his doctorate.
-- Julius Richard Petri - The Later Years
Julius was on active duty as a military physician until 1882, continuing then as a reservist. In 1886 he was a curator at the German Hygiene Museum where he subsequently worked under Robert Koch.
From 1877 to 1879 Julius was assigned to the Imperial Health Office in Berlin, where he became an assistant to Robert Koch. On the suggestion of Angelina Hesse, the New York-born wife of another assistant, Walther Hesse, the Koch laboratory began to culture bacteria on agar plates.
Petri then invented the standard culture dish, or Petri plate, and further developed the technique of agar culture in order to purify or clone bacterial colonies derived from single cells. This advance made it possible to rigorously identify the bacteria responsible for diseases.
Petri's first wife, Anna Riesch, died in 1894 during childbirth, and in 1897, he married Elizabeth Turk.
-- The Importance of the Petri Dish
Petri dishes are extensively used as research plates for microbiology studies. The dish is partially filled with warm liquid containing agar, and a mixture of specific ingredients that may include nutrients, blood, salts, carbohydrates, dyes, indicators, amino acids and antibiotics.
After the agar cools and solidifies, the dish is ready to receive a microbe-laden sample in a process known as "inoculation" or "plating". For virus or phage cultures, a two-step inoculation is needed: bacteria that is grown acts like a host for the viral inoculum.
The bacterial sample is diluted on the plate in a process called "streaking". This involves a sterile plastic stick, or a wire loop which is sterilized by heating; the loop is used to collect the first sample, and then to make a streak on the dish with the agar.
Then, using a fresh stick and sterilized loop, the new loop is passed through that initial streak, spreading the plated bacteria onto the dish.
This process is repeated a third time, and if necessary a fourth, resulting in individual bacterial cells that are isolated on the plate, which are then able to divide and grow into single "clonal" bacterial colonies.
Petri plates can be incubated upside down (agar on top), which can help lessen the risk of contamination from airborne particles containing microbes settling, and to decrease the chance of condensation from water accumulating and disturbing the microbes being cultured.
The basic design of the Petri dish has not changed since being created by Petri in 1887. It was a challenge to keep dishes free of dust, and extra bacteria could collect and alter samples; heavy bell jars used for this purpose proved ineffective, and so six years later Petri created a transparent plate slightly larger than the dish, which served as a transparent lid.
The Petri name has come into public prominence following a spate of serious food poisoning incidents on cruise liners; ships operating buffets in their restaurants have been referred to as 'floating Petri dishes.'
-- Julius Petri's Other Work
Not only was Petri responsible for many innovations and inventions, he also published a variety of papers including 150 on the topic of bacteriology and hygiene, which contributed significantly to information and concepts related to them.
Petri's papers detailed a number of steps in understanding microbiology, not limited to the study of microorganisms, but also including biological pathways and mechanisms.
In his paper of 1876 Julius considered questions regarding proteins found within urine, seeking ways that they could be used to identify conditions or functions.
Dome Saint Salvator of Fulda. The Fulda Dome is the symbol of the city. Inside the cathedral is, inter alia, the tomb of St. Boniface, the first apostle of the Germans. The plans of the cathedral were in 1700 by one of the most important German baroque architects, Johann Dientzenhofer (1663-1726), on behalf of Prince-Abbot Adalbert von Schleifras manufactured. The previous building, the Ratgarbasilika, once the largest basilica north of the Alps, has been razed to the ground in favor of the new cathedral, before in 1704, the construction in the (then current) Baroque style was begun. On August 15, 1712, cathedral was consecrated. The Fulda Cathedral in its internal system is modeled according to the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The Ratgar Basilica was built in 791-819 in Fulda monastery and named after the builder, the monk Ratgar. The basilica was a Holy Sepulcher over the relics of St. Boniface. It was created after the model of the great Peter's Basilica in Rome and was the largest church building north of the Alps. Construction swallowed so considerable amounts of ressources that Abbot Ratger was expelled from the convent of the monastery.
During the Middle Ages the building structure crumbled more and more, so that the Ratgar Basilica in 1700 was demolished. In its place, the baroque Fulda Cathedral was built by Johann Dientzenhofer over the tomb of Boniface.
Die Ratgar-Basilika wurde zwischen 791 und 819 im Kloster Fulda erbaut und nach dem Baumeister, dem Mönch Ratgar, benannt. Die Basilika war eine Grabeskirche über den Gebeinen des Heiligen Bonifatius. Sie entstand nach dem Vorbild des großen Petersdoms in Rom und war der größte Kirchenbau nördlich der Alpen. Der Bau verschlang so große Mittel, dass Abt Ratger vom Konvent des Klosters vertrieben wurde.
Im Verlaufe des Mittelalters zerfiel die Bausubstanz immer mehr, sodass die Ratgar-Basilika 1700 abgerissen wurde. An ihrer Stelle wurde über der Bonifatiusgruft von Johann Dientzenhofer der barocke Fuldaer Dom errichtet.
Dom St. Salvator zu Fulda: Der Fuldaer Dom ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Im Inneren des Doms befindet sich u. a. die Grabstätte des Hl. Bonifatius, des ersten Apostels der Deutschen. Die Pläne des Doms wurden im Jahr 1700 von einem der bedeutendsten deutschen Barockbaumeister, Johann Dientzenhofer (1663–1726), im Auftrag von Fürstabt Adalbert von Schleifras angefertigt. Der Vorgängerbau, die Ratgarbasilika, einst größte Basilika nördlich der Alpen, wurde zugunsten des neuen Doms niedergelegt, ehe 1704 der Bau im (damals aktuellen) barocken Stil begonnen wurde. Am 15. August 1712 wurde der Dom geweiht. Der Dom zu Fulda ist seinem inneren System nach an den Petersdom in Rom angelehnt.

On the morning of Day 5 of SXSW 2017 (Tuesday, March 14), I checked out a few of the happenings at Brush Square Park across the street from the Austin Convention Center. In the park's East Tent, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts hosted its Fresh Cuts Party. The event was already hopping when I arrived around 11:30am; here, cLIVE performs ''Karma Police'' by Radiohead and ''Hold Up'' by Beyoncé, with Murielle and Dezi on vocals...

A spot of heavier rain showers slowly approaching in from the south. Atmospheric instability from this 2nd upper level low pressure storm system this week had increased thunderstorm chances this day. This 2nd, stronger storm system this week battered our area with gusty south southeasterly winds along with windswept rain. Our area hasn't had such a stormy period in quite a while! The worst of the winds and rain had occurred during the system's main cold frontal passage which was between midnight and the predawn hours this day. Pic taken from around San Jose, CA from up at The Point Church. (Friday afternoon, February 28, 2014; 1:36 p.m.)
***After weeks of dry and mild weather, wet and stormy weather was finally back in the forecast for California. A pair of storms was forecasted to bring lots of rainfall to the parched state this week, a welcome news to a state that had just endured its driest year in recorded history. The 1st system had moved in Wednesday. The 2nd stronger storm brought a much-needed soaking to many communities Friday. This massive storm had battered the Bay Area with rain and wind early Friday and knocked out power to more than 55,000 PG&E customers. But it ultimately provided the parched region more rainfall. The storm dropped most of its moisture between midnight Thursday and dawn Friday. Our area got roughly over 0.9 inches of rainfall when measured. Even after a reasonably wet February, the Bay Area would still need to see five to 10 more significant storms by the end of April for rain totals to hit their seasonal averages...

The Cornucopia of the park.
.
A very special catering facility to see is "Le Restaurant du Lac".
We think it should be named "Cornucopia" following the naming style of the park, it's indeed near to the lake but the gigantic pieces of fruit and vegetables are the most important feature and can be seen from afar. Unique in design and also very realistic up close.
The restaurant is surrounded with many tables on a large outdoor terrace permanently covered with colorful umbrellas, which gives it a summery appearance.
---
Cornucopia - in classical antiquity, the cornucopia, from Latin cornu and copia, also called the horn of plenty, was a symbol of abundance and nourishment, commonly a large horn-shaped container overflowing with food, flowers, or nuts.

These are digital scans of a Lewis Family photograph album donated to the Local History Department at the Iredell County Public Library by John Gray Lewis, Jr. shortly before his passing on July 13, 2021 at 87. John G. Lewis, Jr. was an attorney born July 31, 1933 in Statesville, Iredell County, N.C. and was the son of John Gray Lewis, Sr. and Rachel King Lewis. On August 1, 1970 John married Linda Byers Loven. Linda was a school teacher born February 3, 1940 in Mecklenburg County, N.C. to Howard Reedy Loven and Agnes Byers Loven. She grew up in Cabarrus County, N.C. John and Linda lived at 604 Davie Avenue, Statesville, N.C.
Pretty obviously waiting for something to happen ... it was the corner of Girod Street (which we had walked down) and St Charles Avenue. We waited a minute then Bob asked a nearby policeman when the parade was due to start. The policeman as good as said "look behind you" ... there it was!
Directly opposite, where it says Bloomin Onion ... that was a van selling fried chicken on a stick. That, with a Coke, was lunch. Yum! And that is the corner we watched from.
The church tower you can see is St Patrick's Church.
As soon as we arrived in New Orleans, we checked into the hotel, gave the car keys to the bell boy, and headed into town to see what was going on.
We had booked the City Bus Tour ... the ticket is valid for three days ... so we intended to start using it the day we arrived. Except that the buses weren't running, due to Mardi Gras parades.
So there was only one thing to do ... walk into town and find the parades!
Schottengasse No. 6-8, former Creditanstalt Bank Corporation (Schottenring)
Banking hall of the former Creditanstalt Bank Corporation
(further pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
The monumental and representative bank building is a major work of architects Ernst Gotthelf and Alexander Neumann and was created from 1909 to 1912 for the Vienna Bank Corporation. This required a ring road building of 1861-1863 to be demolished, it was the first demolition in the Ring Road area. The building itself was built in the neo-Secessionist style, and built on the exposed position from three sides free-standing on the corner Scots Ring/Scots Alley. Since 1934 it was the headquarters of the Creditanstalt Bank Corporation, in 2002 it went to Bank Austria.
The building is built around cross-shaped inner wings and four glass-covered courtyards. The central risalits become clearly apparent on the facades of the Scots Ring and Scots Lane. At the corner projections on the ring road can be seen over triangular gables plastic figures, each representing two young men with ship's bow and globe. The main entrance to the Scot Lane is a three-axis Doric portico with relief paneled door leaves. On It are children with fruits and flowers as well as an inscription with those cities in which branches of the bank were. The doors are signed by O. Csenasek. Above the portal and above the first floor there are reliefs of seated atlases. On the same level mask reliefs are continuously attached to all facades.
Inside the banking hall is remarkable. Atlases on pillars are wearing a partially stuccoed beam ceiling, among which are ornamented windows. The counters are paneled with wood. Above that is the two-storey ceremonial and meeting hall in those foyer the sculptures Human Cathedral of Fritz Wotruba (1946), Jumping horse by Herbert Boeckl (1936) and the bronze busts of the Director General Josef Joham and of the Trade Minister Eduard Heinl of Gustinus Ambrosi (around 1950) and 2 tapestries can be seen. Applies to all premises (office of the Director General, office of the President, mail reading room, large meeting room, small meeting room, management office corridor) that was placed on the use of solid materials, such as various types of marble, metals, precious woods, embossed leather, etc., special attention.

Part of Barbara Hepworth's The Family of Man sculpture.
The work dates to 1970 and was made from bronze by the Wakefield native before going on display at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near by.
It is made up of a series of nine bronze figures, with those representing the younger members of the family more simple, with the sculptures becoming more complicated as they represent older people.
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is just of the M1 at West Bretton, near Wakefield and occupies a 500-acre country estate interspersed with numerous outdoor sculptures.
There are numerous trails and paths through various zones, with sculptures by such artists as Henry Moore and Antony Gormley among those whose works are exhibited.
The sculptures – which are regularly moved from place to place within the park – blend into the gardens, hillsides and around a small lake, providing an outdoor environment in which to view the works both from afar and up close – and sometimes even from within.
