1906 Color Plate : North American Study of Weeds
Measures 7 x 10 inches , produced in 1906
from a guide on North American Weeds
Artist : Norman Criddle : each plate is initialed
Color Plates made from original watercolors of the weeds of North America
Printed on a heavy pulp paper, so the page itself is not bright white.
The artist did shading on the originals and that is carried over to the plate.
The color plate page was once sewn into a book, one edge has been slightly trimmed to remove the stitched edge.
The Palace of Culture and Science was just across the street from our hotel. The building is hated by most Poles. It was a "gift" to Poland by Communist Russia during the Communist occupation of Poland. One of our guide books told a good story about the building. It said people in Warsaw ask where is the best place to live in Warsaw. The answer is Inside the Palace of Science and Culture because that way you can't see it.
I personally found it to be an intersting building but can understand why its so hated.
A visit to the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Peruigia.
From the third floor upwards.
Mostly crucifixion crosses and other Christian religious art not to my taste.
Got these views though out of the windows.
After getting our tickets, we had to put our large bags in a locker.
The Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria (English: National Gallery of Umbria) the Italian national paintings collection of Umbria, housed in the Palazzo dei Priori, Perugia, in central Italy. Located on the upper floors of the Palazzo dei Priori, the exhibition spaces occupy two floors and the collection comprises the greatest representation of the Umbrian School of painting, ranging from the 13th to the 19th century, strongest in the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. The collection is presented in 40 exhibition rooms in the Palazzo. On the second floor of the Gallery, there is an exhibition space for temporary collections, changed several times a year.
The collection's origins lie in the foundation of the Perugian Accademia del Disegno in the mid-16th century. The Academy was originally based in the Convento degli Olivetani at Montemorcino, where it began to assemble a collection of paintings and drawings. The town became part of the French department of Trasimène in 1798 and its religious houses were suppressed. This suppression was repeated by the united Kingdom of Italy from the 1860s onwards - both suppressions shifted a large number of paintings and artworks from church to state ownership.
In 1863, the civic paintings collection was formally named after Pietro Vannucci, but the problem of establishing an appropriate site to house the collection was not solved until 1878, when it moved into the third floor of the Palazzo dei Priori in the town centre. With the addition of acquisitions, donations and bequests, the pinacoteca became the Regia Galleria Vannucci in 1918, under the patronage of the king. The name was later changed to Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. Over the years the entire complex of Palazzo dei Priori has been repeatedly affected by renovations and functional adaptation. The museum path, inaugurated in its current form in 2006, occupies an area of 4000 square meters on two floors.

In advance of the Dec. 15 deadline to sign up on Delaware’s Health Insurance Marketplace for coverage to begin Jan. 1, Secretary Landgraf was joined by Westside Family Healthcare CEO Lolita Lopez, Department of Insurance Chief of Staff Paul Reynolds, navigators and enrollees to talk about the value of coverage. More than 25,000 Delawareans signed up for coverage in 2016 and, so far for 2017, sign-ups are up more than 7% over the comparable period last year. “The public is pretty protective of their health insurance,” Secretary Landgraf said Dec. 12 at a press conference at Westside’s location in Bear. About 85% of those enrolled on Delaware’s Marketplace receive tax credits to help pay their monthly premiums. Financial help is available to individuals with an annual household income up to $47,520 and up to $97,200 for a family of four.
Enrollees Dr. Donald Morton, Linda Miller and Pam Howe said the Marketplace offered affordable coverage when they needed it. Dr. Morton, pastor, executive director of Complexities of Color, husband and father of five, signed up the first year and his doctor discovered he had prostate cancer. He now has been cancer-free for two years. “I thank God, I thank my Mama, and I thank President Obama,” he said. “If the law goes away, not only is it financial, but I have a pre-existing condition.”
Linda Miller signed up for marketplace coverage the day her treatment for lung cancer ended through DHSS’ Delaware Cancer Treatment Program. “Somebody is watching over me,” she said. Pam Howe, who lost employer-based coverage and whose husband has high blood pressure, had sleepless nights about how she would access health insurance. “The Health Care Act is very important,” she said, thanking navigator Kristen Isaac at Westside for helping her understand her coverage options. “If (the law) goes away, I don’t know what we will do. It made a big difference for us.”
Rachel Linstead Goldsmith of Enroll America said the Marketplace has helped reduce Delaware’s uninsured population to about 54,000. “The law is still in place and effectively nothing has changed for 2017,” she said. Westside’s President and CEO Lolita Lopez said the Affordable Care Act “has given families a real source of financial security and peace of mind.”
Open enrollment continues through Jan. 31. Those who choose not to get health insurance and are not exempt for coverage will pay a penalty for lacking insurance. For 2017, the penalty will be $695 per adult and $347.50 per child, or 2.5% of their annual household income, whichever is higher.

Close up, front view of the Carley Mills (Carley's Mills) Schoolhouse - Last standing one-room schoohouse that was listed as #6 in the Central Square School District. In 1875 with the help of the Freewill Baptst Church of Hastings the current building was erected to serve as both a schoolhouse and a church until September of 1888 when church sevices were relocated to the Village of Hastings. The one-room schoolhouse remained in operation until 1954 when the school district closed it. They then donated it to the current owner, the Carley Mills Cemetery Association. The building is now used as a Community House. It is located in the Hamlet of Carley Mills at 1236 County Route 86 in Hastings, NY. (S/B 114)

"Probably founded by the Veneti, it became a Roman town in 49 B.C. It became Christian in the 4th century, till it became the beloved city of Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoth kingdom in the middie of the 5th century, then a Longobardic dukedom and the seat of Pipin, King of Italy under the Carolingian Empire. In the 11th century Verona was joined to the Mark of Bavaria and in 1136 it became a municipality. Verona was the papal seat of Pope Lucius III (Ubaldo Allucignoli di Lucca) from 1181 to 1185, the year when the Conclave which elected Pope Urban III was held in Verona. Pope Lucius III is buried in the choir of the Cathedral, where there is a memorial stone inscribed to him . Having come under the power of Ezzelino da Romano, it came under the dominion of the Scaliger family, whose seigniory lasted from 1277 until 1387, when it fell into the hands of the Viscontis. In 1405 Verona voluntarily offered itself to the Venetians, under whose government it remained until 1796, when the Republic of Venice was invaded by Napoleon. After the short-lived rule of the Kingdom of Italy Verona was occupied by the Austrians in 1814. Verona, with the whole Veneto became part of the newborn Italian Reign only in 1866." images.google.es/imgres?imgurl=http://www.italysquare.com...
Sevilla (sometimes spelled Seville in English) is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of Andalusia and the province of Sevilla, Spain. It is situated on the plain of the river Guadalquivir. The inhabitants of the city are known as sevillanos and sevillanas. Seville has a municipal population of about 703,000 as of 2011, and a metropolitan population of about 1.5 million, making it the fourth-largest city in Spain and the 30th most populous municipality in the European Union (as of 2017). Its Old Town, with an area of 2 square miles, contains three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alcázar palace complex, the Cathedral, and the General Archive of the Indies. The Sevilla harbour, located about 50 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, is the only river port in Spain. Sevilla is also the hottest major metropolitan area in the geographical Western Europe, with summer average high temperatures of above 95°F (35°C).
Sevilla was founded as the Roman city of Hispalis. It later became known as Ishbiliya (إشبيلية) after the Muslim conquest in 712. During the Muslim rule in Spain, Seville came under the jurisdiction of the Caliphate of Córdoba before becoming the independent Taifa of Sevilla.
The 20th century in Sevilla saw the tribulations of the Spanish Civil War, decisive cultural milestones such as the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 and Expo '92, and the city's election as the capital of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia.

The art of Michael Hap Hapner will be one of the features of ARCH's (Architecture and Community Heritage) annual Historic Neighborhood Tour today on historic West Main Street, in Fort Wayne from 10am to 4pm. Located just west of downtown Fort Wayne, the area was once known as "Nebraska" because it was so far away if you were walking from downtown. Featuring the Feeder Canal for the Wabash and Erie Canal, the area became home to a mix of commercial, industrial and residential buildings, one of Fort Wayne's first "mixed-use" areas. Later served by both Fort Wayne's streetcar system and the New York Central rail line, the neighborhood became home to the giant Wayne Knitting Mills Factory, as well as other turn-of-the-century industrial complexes. Now an up-and-coming neighborhood, the Historic West Main Neighborhood is becoming home to rehabs of Queen Anne, Italianate and Bungalow style houses as well as walkable restaurants, businesses and taverns like Paula's and O' Sullivan's. The tour will feature 8-10 homes and buildings representing the historic flavor of the neighborhood.
Monticello was the primary plantation of Thomas Jefferson, a Founding Father, author of the Declaration of Independence, and the third president of the United States. Jefferson began designing Monticello after inheriting land from his father at the age of 14, but its construction date is typically identified as 1772. Located in Albemarle County just outside Charlottesville in the Piedmont region, the plantation was originally 5,000 acres, with Jefferson using the forced labor of slaves for extensive cultivation of tobacco and mixed crops (later shifting from tobacco cultivation to wheat in response to changing markets). Due to its architectural and historic significance, the property was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. In 1987, Monticello and the nearby University of Virginia, also designed by Jefferson, were jointly designated as a single UNESCO World Heritage Site. The United States nickel has featured a depiction of Monticello on its reverse since 1938 (except for 2004-05).
Jefferson designed the main house using neoclassical design principles pioneered by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio and reworking the design through much of his presidency to include design elements popular in late 18th-century Europe and integrating numerous ideas of his own. Situated on the summit of an 850 foot-high peak in the Southwest Mountains south of the Rivanna Gap, the name Monticello derives from Italian meaning "little mountain." Along a prominent lane adjacent to the house, Mulberry Row, the plantation came to include numerous outbuildings for specialized functions, e.g., a nailery; quarters for slaves who worked in the home; gardens for flowers, produce, and Jefferson's experiments in plant breeding—along with tobacco fields and mixed crops. Cabins for slaves who worked in the fields were farther from the mansion.
At Jefferson's direction, he was buried on the grounds, in an area now designated as the Monticello Cemetery. The cemetery is owned by the Monticello Association, a society of his descendants through Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson. After Jefferson's death, his daughter Martha Jefferson Randolph, apart from the small family graveyard, sold Monticello for $7,500. In 1834, it was bought by Uriah P. Levy, a commodore in the U.S. Navy, for $2,500, who admired Jefferson and spent his own money to preserve the property. His nephew Jefferson Monroe Levy took over the property in 1879; he also invested considerable money to restore and preserve it. In 1923, Monroe Levy sold it for $500,000 to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation (TJF), which operates it as a house museum and educational institution.
