Eine kleine Hommage des Sekretärs an Erich Salomon (* 28. April 1886 in Berlin, † 7. Juli 1944 in Auschwitz) war einer der Väter, wenn nicht DER Vater, des modernen Fotojournalismus in der Zeit nach dem ersten Weltkrieg. Zu seinem Markennamen gehörte der Doktortitel (der Rechtswissenschaften), und so vermarktete er seine Bilder als «Dr. Erich Salomon». Berühmt wurde er vor allem durch seine Aufnahmen von Politikern und den zahlreichen diplomatischen Konferenzen dieser Zeit sowie des «Völkerbunds».

A small tribute by the Secretary to Erich Salomon (* April 28, 1886 in Berlin, † July 7, 1944 in Auschwitz) was one of the fathers, if not THE father, of modern photojournalism in the post-World War I era. His brand name included a doctorate (of law), and so he marketed his images as "Dr. Erich Salomon." He became famous mainly for his photographs of politicians and the numerous diplomatic conferences of the time, as well as the "League of Nations".

We the people are sick and tired of our politicians trying to put fear into us, separating us into groups, not working with us for a better, more diverse country. Putting money above everything else and generally not working very hard for change for the good. It is time that you started joining us in our uphill battle for a fairer country, less selfish and more embracing of everyone. We have to stop judging and start living together!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

For the fantasy and RP lovers Aii made an outfit that is rigged to Legacy Athletic so I made grabby hands for it (it even comes with a monster fur stole). There's several layer options so you can try out different ideas for an outfit. It lets you mod in places too for further styling.
The Ghostmage hands are a lot of fun and follow you like a shoal of magical fish as you walk, as well as reacting as a bumper and typing. They are superior to the usual static halo types and the hud lets you colour them individually too. I added a crown to Krova's Horace skull to make him feel better about himself. I topped it all off with eyes by Hellbourne and gorgeous hand metalwork by VoluptasVirtualis.

This Cormorant gave me a nice approach with the branches considerately not blocking the bird’s eyes. This was taken at Green Cay, where the Cormorants and Anhinga were working hard to bring home nesting material. Action has slacked off and there doesn’t seem to be as many birds as in years passed. I hate to say it, but it doesn’t bode well for the future. I’ll throw my pitch in to support politicians who support environmental protection, conservation and public places. Pitch over, have another beer! It’s not the best juxtaposition but let me with us all and wonderful New Year and I hope to see many of you out in the field or at least online. All the best, Mike (Double-crested Cormorant - Nannopterum auritus) (Sony a1, 400mm, f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 5000)

This custom bodied Model 33, 1923 Pierce-Arrow originally purchased where built in Buffalo, NY. The owner hired the then fledgling company, LeBaron Couchbuilders which was formed by Raymond Dietrich and Thomas Hibbard after leaving Brewster in 1920. The car had been driven by a young politician named Franklin Delano Roosevelt while still owned by the original purchaser, Frank Goodyear. It is believed to be the earliest surviving example of Raymond Dietrich's design efforts. Pierce-Arrow was active from 1901 to 1938 after which they shut their doors forever.

The Peterborough Lift Lock National Historic Site of Canada is located on the Otonabee River section of the Trent Canal in the City of Peterborough, Ontario. It is a large concrete structure along the Trent-Severn Waterway designed to lift boats 19.8 metres. The lock operates on a balance system, whereby water is let into the upper chamber, a connecting valve is opened and the heavier chamber Peterborough is known as the gateway to the Kawarthas, "cottage country", a large recreational region of the province. It is named in honour of Peter Robinson, an early Canadian politician who oversaw the first major immigration to the area. The city is the seat of Peterborough County.
While I was waiting for trains at this location, a local politician was recording an interview about the noisy trains in the valley. I really don't like being caught on camera, and especially not in this case, so my stay here was for a very short duration. Long enough though to capture modern, silent, Traxx engine 185 030 with a tanker train... the noisy ones when empty, yes.

Don't ever stop fighting for what you believe in. Sometimes, the fighting happens when you write or call politicians. Sometimes, it happens in the streets. Sometimes, it happens when you have honest discussions with people you are close to about important things in the world. Don't underestimate even this...no thing is a small thing.
***
N'arrêtez jamais de vous battre pour ce que vous croyez. Parfois, les combats se produisent lorsque vous écrivez ou appelez des politiciens. Parfois, ça arrive dans les rues. Parfois, il arrive quand vous avez des discussions honnêtes avec des gens que vous êtes proche de choses importantes dans le monde. Ne sous-estimez même pas ce ... rien n'est une petite chose.

Senatress Beatrice Bennet
Age: 34
Occupation: Senator in the court of Valhalla
Bio: Senatress Bennet hails from a wealthy and spoiled background. She comes from a long line of scheming politicians. At age 31, she officially become Senatress of a quadrant of Valhalla, and has fiercely held the position ever since. She is quite use to using her family's money to buy her way into things; as her motto goes: "anything and anyone has a price."
Personality traits: She's one lady that hates to lose, and will stop at nothing to ensure she gets what she wants. Her sense of virtue is severely twisted to the point where black is white and up is down. Her nature is one of superiority and deceptiveness. When it comes to the public, she's a total suck up. However, to her, lowly human beings are nothing more than mere play toys. It isn't unusual to see her participating in something "unethical" by public standard.
**There's 2 more character profiles I need to complete, so this isn't it...yet.
Snapped this shot last night of Strawberry Holiday's tree in Burning Life.
Seemed even more relevant after watching the Biden-Palin debate.
Both parties say they are so much for change...but I truly wonder.
It seems we always get politicians who say that, and then they end up doing what is best for their parties and Big Business...
Whatever happened to "We the People"?
I won't get into who I am for as I dont want to start a debate, I just hope we do get someone that does something good for a change!

Martyred Intellectuals Memorial (Bengali: বুদ্ধিজীবি স্মৃতি সৌধ) is a memorial built for the memory of the martyred intellectuals of Bangladesh Liberation War. The memorial, located at Rayerbazar, Mohammadpur Thana in Dhaka[1], was designed by architect Mostafa Ali Kuddus. During the entire duration of Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, a large number of teachers, doctors, engineers, poets and writers were systematically massacred by Pakistan Army and their local collaborators, most notably the alleged Islamist militia groups Al-Badr and [Al-Shams (Bangladesh)|[Al-Shams]]. The largest number of assassinations took place on December 14, 1971, only two days before the surrender of Pakistan army to the joint force of Indian army and Mukti bahini.
Closer view of Rayerbazar intellectuals' memorial.
Foundation plaque of the memorial, Mirpur, Dhaka.
In the night of 14 December 1971, over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals including professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, and writers were rounded up in Dhaka. They were taken blindfolded to torture cells in Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Nakhalpara, Rajarbagh and other locations in different sections of the city. Later they were executed en masse, most notably at Rayerbazar and Mirpur. In memory of the martyred intellectuals, December 14 is mourned in Bangladesh as Shaheed Buddhijibi Dibosh ("Day of the Martyred Intellectuals").
Even after the official ending of the war on December 16 there were reports of hostile fire from the armed Pakistani soldiers and their collaborators. In one such incident, notable film-maker Zahir Raihan was killed on January 30, 1972 in Mirpur, allegedly by the armed Beharis of Mirpur.
The number of intellectuals killed is estimated as follows: educationist 991, journalist 13, physician 49, lawyer 42, others (litterateur, artist and engineer) 16.[2]
Noted intellectuals who were killed between March 25 and December 16, 1971 in different parts of the country included Govinda Chandra Dev (Philosopher, Professor at DU), Munier Chowdhury (Litterateur, Dramatist, Professor at DU), Mufazzal Haider Chaudhury (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Anwar Pasha (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Mohammed Fazle Rabbee (cardiologist), Dr. Alim Chowdhury (ophthalmologist), Shahidullah Kaisar (journalist), Nizamuddin Ahmed (Reporter), Selina Parvin (reporter), Altaf Mahmud (lyricist and musician), Dr. Hobibur Rahman (mathematician, Professor at RU), Dhirendranath Datta (politician), Ranadaprasad Saha (philanthropist), Lt. Col. Moazzem Hossain (ex-soldier), Mamun Mahmood (Police Officer), and many others.

Excerpt from the plaque:
The Bukchon Cultural Center was established at the site of the House of Finance Secretary Min, a powerful politician at the end of the Joseon Dynasty. This traditional Korean house dating from the modern period is also well known as the 'House of Madame Gyedong'. The Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation purchased the house and reopened it as the Bukchon Cultural Center on October 29, 2002 for experience of Bukchon and tourism education.

“A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen
tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year.
And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.”
Winston Churchill

You`re a scum, you`re a scum and I hope that you know
That the cracks in your smile are beginning to show
Now the world needs to see that it's time you should go
There's no light in your eyes and your brain is too slow
Can't believe you were once just like anyone else then you grew
and became like the devil himself .Pray to God I can think of a nice
thing to say. But I don't think I can, so f *ck you anyway...

***************************
When we hear the phrase “first impression,” we tend to think of a person. Was the politician I recently voted for as inspiring when I heard his first speech as he was years later? (More so, sadly.) Was the girl that I married as beautiful at 13 as she was years later, in her twenties and thirties? (Yes, and yes.) Did Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ in the Wind send more of a shiver down my spine in 1963 than it did when I heard it drifting from a car radio 45 years later? (No. It stops me dead in my tracks every time I hear it.)
It’s not just people that make first impressions on me. Cities do, too, perhaps because I encountered so many of them while my family moved every year throughout my childhood. Or perhaps it’s because, after seeing so many cities that I thought were different in the United States, I was so completely unprepared for the wild variety of sights and sounds and smells that I encountered as a grown man, when I traveled to Europe and South America, to Africa and Asia and Australia. And even today, there are cities that I’m visiting for the first time, and which continue to take me by surprise.
Athens is one of those cities. I don’t know what I was expecting… Something old, of course, something downright ancient, filled with smashed statues and marble columns like Rome, engraved with unreadable inscriptions in a language I never learned — but probably not as ancient as Cairo. Something hot and noisy and polluted and smelly, perhaps like Calcutta or the slums of Mumbai. Something gridlocked with noisy, honking traffic congestion, perhaps like Moscow.
What I didn’t expect was the wide, nearly-empty highways leading from the airport into the city. I didn’t expect the cleanliness of the tree-lined streets that ran in every direction. I did expect the white-washed buildings and houses that climbed the hills that surround the city — but the local people told me that buildings in Athens were positively gray compared to what I would have seen if I had stayed longer and ventured out to the Greek islands.
I also didn’t expect the graffiti that covered nearly every wall, on every building, up and down every street. They were mostly slogans and phrases in Greek (and therefore completely unintelligible to me), but with occasional crude references in English to IMF bankers, undercover policemen, a politician or two, and the CIA. There were a couple slogans from the Russian revolution of 1917, from the Castro uprising in Cuba, and even from the American revolution (“united we stand, divided we fall.”)
Naturally, I thought all of this had come about in just the past few months, as Greece has wrestled with its overwhelming financial crisis. But I was told by local citizens that much of the graffiti has been around for quite a bit longer than that – just as it has been in cities like New York and London. Some of it was wild and colorful, with cartoon figures and crazy faces … though I don’t think it quite rises to the level of “street art” that one sees in parts of SoHo, Tribeca, and the East Village in New York. What impressed me most about the graffiti in Athens was its vibrant energy; I felt like the artists were ready to punch a hole through the walls with their spray-cans.
These are merely my own first impressions; they won’t be the same as yours. Beyond that, there are a lot of facts, figures, and details if one wants to fully describe a city like Athens. Its recorded history spans some 3,400 years, and it includes the exploits of kings and generals, gods and philosophers, athletes and artists. There are statues and columns and ruins everywhere; and towering above it all is the breath-taking Acropolis. It’s far too rich and complex for me to describe here in any reasonable way; if you want to know more, find some books or scan the excellent Wikipedia summary.
It’s also hard to figure out what one should photograph on a first visit to a city like Athens. It’s impossible not to photograph the Acropolis, especially since it’s lit at night and visible from almost every corner of the city. I was interested in the possibility of photographing the complex in the special light before dawn or after sunset, but it’s closed to visitors except during “civilized” daytime hours. It’s also undergoing extensive renovations and repair, so much of it is covered in scaffolding, derricks, and cranes. In the end, I took a few panorama shots and telephoto shots, and explored the details by visiting the new Acropolis Museum, with the camera turned off.
Aside from that, the photos you’ll see here concentrate on two things: my unexpected “first impression” of the local graffiti, and my favorite of all subjects: people. In a couple cases, the subjects are unmistakably Greek – Greek orthodox priests, for example – and in a couple cases, you might think you were looking at a street scene in São Paulo or Mexico City. But in most of the shots, you’ll see examples of stylish, fashionable, interesting people that don’t look all that much different from the people I’ve photographed in New York, London, Rome, or Paris. Maybe we can attribute that to the homogenization of fashion and style in today’s interconnected global environment. Or maybe we can just chalk it up to the fact that people are, well … interesting … wherever you go.
In any case, enjoy. And if you get to Athens yourself, send me some photos of your own first impressions.
We had to hug a politician, and we managed to find the best one -- Dennis Bevington, Member of Parliament for the Western Arctic.
Burgage Manor on Burgage, King Street, Southwell, Nottinghamshire was the home of the famous poet and politician Lord Byron for various times between 1803 and 1809.
His mother rented the house and Byron spent time there between those dates on holiday from Harrow School and Cambridge University. Whilst there, he became involved in the amateur dramatics organised by neighbours across the way. He became romantically involved with the their young daughter and many in the town believed that they would eventually marry but that was not his intention and he abruptly left Southwell, never to return!
In WW1, the house was offered by the owners, a local banking family, for use as a medical facility for injured soldiers. The first patients entered what was to be mainly a convalescent home, in April 1915 and by the end of the war, some 800 military went through its doors!
Just a thought: If you're a U.S. Senator attending a fundraiser for a middle school that's been burned down, and a newspaper photographer shows up, and among the people present are a variety of parents and a scantily-clad adolescent girl....you might wanna position yourself squarely among the adults. I'm not making ANY suggestion of even the appearance of impropriety, because I'm sure there wasn't any, but in today's political climate... can you really afford to take any chances?
The event was a bake sale and carwash (which I'm sure accounts for the bikini). Were they trying to recreate the car-washing scene from "Cool Hand Luke" with characters based on "Lolita?"
I may have just outed myself as the biggest prude-Mom on the planet, but I'm really just kinda hoping that my daughter won't be making any downtown public appearances in bikini tops and low-rider shorts when she's just finished the eighth grade...especially if there are politicians and/or newspaper photographers around.

Excerpt from acontario.ca:
This Picturesque Gothic cottage was erected as the gatehouse to the estate of Upper Canada merchant and politician Isaac Buchanan (1810–1883), originally named Clairmont Park. Bill King, author of Buchanan of Auchmar, surmises that Claremont Lodge was erected along with other outbuildings during the two years that it took to build the Gothic Revival manor house, between 1852 and 1854. The gatehouse was situated at the formal entrance to the estate, on the escarpment brow near the access road to the lower city (James Mountain Road). In 1862, the villa was renamed ‘Auchmar’, after the Buchanan estate on Loch Lomond, Scotland. The remaining 8 acres of Buchanan’s property, now owned by the City of Hamilton and located at 88 Fennell Avenue, includes the manor house, some of its original outbuildings and a remnant of the stone orchard wall. The gatekeeper’s lodge remained the home of the stable master and his family until the 1940s when the estate was still owned by the Youngs. In 1945, they sold Auchmar to the Hungarian order of nuns, Sisters of Social Service. Around 1947, the gatehouse and stable were severed from Auchmar when some lands to the north of the orchard wall were sold and the Clairmont Heights Survey was then laid out with lots for the construction of single-family houses. Hence, the gatehouse and stable acquired a separate lot at the south-east corner of Claremont Drive and Arcade Crescent. It was located adjacent to a brow lot with a substantial residence, transformed in the 1930s by its owner James Morrow into a replica of a Norman chateau (63 Claremont Drive).
The current owner of 63 Claremont Drive purchased the gatehouse and stable property in the 1980s, with the intent of incorporating the cottage as a garden feature. However, after commissioning an engineering study, which concluded that the building was structurally unsound, he offered 71 Claremont Drive to the City of Hamilton, with the proviso that the gatehouse be relocated. Unfortunately, his offer was turned down and the building has since been allowed to progressively deteriorate. Preservation advocates are now making the case that serious attention needs to be paid to the plight of this building and the possibility of relocating it to the Auchmar estate, where it could be restored and interpreted as part of a significant cultural heritage landscape.
The Auchmar estate is now designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, protected by an Ontario Heritage Foundation Easement and recognized as a National Historic Site. The historical significance of both Auchmar and its former gatehouse are acknowledged by a provincial plaque erected in front of Claremont Lodge but this recognition provides no measure of protection from demolition or vandalism for the historic gatehouse. However, the property’s listing on the municipal Heritage Register in 2009 does provide interim protection from demolition.
