'' Want to keep foxes away from your garden? You need this expert tip - The one thing you need to know about deterring foxes from your backyard '', by Anna K. Cottrell.

  

Gardeningetc is a UK based magazine under the Future Publishing Limited group based in Bath.

  

It had previously been selected for sale in the GETTY IMAGES COLLECTION on June 20th 2021

  

CREATIVE RF gty.im/1324337152 MOMENT ROYALTY FREE COLLECTION It became my 5,092nd frame to be selected for sale in the Getty Images collection

  

I'm standing in my kitchen on a cold, wet summer afternoon making a Tassimo Costa L'or double shot Latte whilst taking a quick break from watching Sweden versus Slovakia (I've seen more action in a chess match!), on TV in the Euros football tournament when a rain soaked fox enters my garden!

  

My camera is upstairs still with the Lee SW150 filter holder and circular polarizer attached, and round here, foxes normally do not surface much in daylight nor spend long before scampering away, so I rush up and grab it, hastily tampering with the settings, forgetting to set the vibration control to the on position....

  

I'm skulking in the corner of the kitchen, shooting through closed, rain splattered windows and the fox can sense my presence and every movement. Far from ideal, but such a joy to have a few brief moments in the presence of such a magnificent animal.

   

And they say any shot is better than NO shot, don't they......

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty one metres at 15:36pm on a cold morning on Friday 18th June 2021, off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent.

  

Here we see a young Red fox (Vulpes vulpes), the largest of the true foxes (a genus of the sub-family Caninae which form a proper clade or monophyletic or natural group). Red foxes are the largest of the worldwide foxes, and also the most commonly widespread across the Northern hemisphere, Europe and North Africa.

Sutra The Gastropub : A Bon Vivant’s delight

 

Sutra Gastropub which hosted a wonderful event with Signature Expressions and the cult band Indian Ocean this week has already become a very significant part of the party scene in Gurgaon’s Cyber Hub. The restaurant offers soups, salads, a wide variety of starters and serves cuisines like Indian, Italian, Moroccan, American and European.

 

I like the menu; it has hearty, trustworthy dishes that the chefs have managed to execute well. The well being of the flourishing, diverse and experimental food tradition in India rests in the hands of such restaurants.

 

Jhul e kabab @ SutraSpeaking of the well-written, hunger-inducing, gutsy menu, we read it and immediately knew what we wanted. Such a musical night with iconic singers and musicians called for a lot of finger food and signature cocktails. We ordered a “Manhattan” with Signature’s best whiskey, “Mustard Fish Tikka”, “Seekh-e-khas” and “Jujeh Kebabs”.

 

Alfresco dining, iconic music, and an extremely cosy restaurant, is all that we needed after a long hard day at work. The restaurant is well planned and spacious. There is dark-wood furniture. There are two bars with bar stools for people who wish to sit there and drink the bartenders interesting cocktail concoctions; they also have a wine rack. Indian ocean sutra

 

On a weekday (Wednesday), the place is bustling with people; I wasn’t at all surprised, most restaurants at Cyber Hub are thriving, every day is good business, weekends are especially brilliant.

 

IMG_2425And then the food starts to arrive and it’s clear everything is going to be great. The food is fresh, the drinks are well balanced and the staff is courteous. Check. Check. Check. The restaurant checks all the right boxes for me. For main course I got a thin crust “Chicken Pizza”. I expected it to be heavy but it turned out to be surprisingly light. It was an utterly guilt-free pizza with extremely coordinated ingredients.

 

Most evenings and weekends are special for the restaurant because they organise fun-filled events for their patrons. Anoop, who manages the place, and it feels very much like a one-man operation, clearly knows how to make customers feel at home.

 

There are chunky burgers with chicken and lamb; the meat is tender, well cooked and extremely delicious. This multi-cuisine restaurant does a mouth-watering molten brownie cake, chocolate tiramisu and some really interesting cheesecake to finish.

 

Sutra seems to be doing a great job because the evening was a raving success and went absolutely glitch free.

 

XOXO

Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics

By Michael Vance

 

Although the components of comic strips had existed for thousands of years in varying forms and places, it was R. F. Outcault who put dialogue, story, art, and characters together to create the comic strip. His “Yellow Kid” began on Oct. 18, 1896 in the “American Humorist”. Yes, Virginia, America did create comic books and strips.

 

Oddly enough, readers had to wait until 1977 for the definitive book on strips to be published by the Smithsonian Institution. It is called “Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics” and is big enough – 336 pages – and heavy enough to make your coffee table moan … with pleasure. Its editors, Bill Blackbeard and Martin Williams, have collected over a thousand examples of the world’s most popular artform in this volume, and it’s a delight to read.

 

What’s inside? The familiar: “Popeye”, “Pogo”, “Peanuts,” “Little Orphan Annie”, “Alley Oop”, “Little Abner”, “Dick Tracy”, “Tarzan”, “Flash Gordon” and hundreds more. Unless you’re a comics strip historian, you’ll also find the unfamiliar: “Little Nemo in Slumberland”, “Bringing Up Father”, “Krazy Kat”, “The Gumps”, “Barnaby”, “The Katzenjammer Kids”, “The Bungle Family”, and “Our Boarding House”. Although most are reprinted in black and white, there are dozens of beautiful color pages as well.

 

You’ll also find one of the most comprehensive and well written histories on comic strips ever written. You’ll learn that “Mutt and Jeff” was the first daily comic strip, beginning in 1907 in San Francisco. It was also the first nationally syndicated daily strip. You’ll discover that “Buck Rogers” was the first science-fiction strip. You’ll learn that almost all of the first strips featured “naughty” children, and were not written for an audience of children.

 

And you’ll come away from reading this massive, oversized volume with a new respect for this American artform. At the very least, you’ll leave with a warm feeling of nostalgia for the days you spent having the “Funnies” read to you by mom and dad.

 

You may order this collection from the Smithsonian or through your local bookstore. So, whatcha waitin’ for? Go. Buy. Enjoy!!

Queen's College Oxford

 

Queen's College Oxford was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield in honour of Queen Philippa of Hainaut (wife of King Edward III of England). The college is distinguished by its predominantly neoclassical architecture, which includes buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor.

 

In 2015, the college had an endowment of £265 million, making it the fifth wealthiest college (after St. John's, Christ Church, All Souls and Merton).

 

In April 2012, as part of the celebrations of the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, a series of commemorative stamps were released featuring A-Z pictures of famous British landmarks. Queen's College's front quad was used on the Q stamp, alongside other landmarks such as the Angel of the North on A and the Old Bailey on O.

 

The most famous feast of the College is the Boar's Head Gaudy, which originally was the Christmas Dinner for members of the College who were unable to return home over the Christmas break between terms, but is now a feast for old members of the College on the Saturday before Christmas.

 

Queen's College Alumni

 

Alumni of Queen's include:

 

- Tony Abbott, 28th Prime Minister of Australia

- Rowan Atkinson, actor and comedian, known for Blackadder and Mr. Bean

'Oxford in War-Time'

 

During the Great War, a man named W. Snow was inspired to write a poem called 'Oxford in War-Time'.

 

Snow prefaces his poem with the following:

 

'The Boat Race will not be held this year (1915).

The whole of last year's Oxford eight and the

great majority of the cricket and football teams

are serving the King'.

 

The poem is as follows:

 

'Under the tow-path past the barges

Never an eight goes flashing by;

Never a blatant coach on the marge is

Urging his crew to do or die;

Never the critic we knew enlarges,

Fluent, on How and Why!

 

Once by the Iffley Road November

Welcomed the Football men aglow,

Covered with mud, as you'll remember,

Eager to vanquish Oxford's foe.

Where are the teams of last December?

Gone - where they had to go!

 

Where are her sons who waged at cricket

Warfare against the foeman-friend?

Far from the Parks, on a harder wicket,

Still they attack and still defend;

Playing a greater game, they'll stick it,

Fearless until the end!

 

Oxford's goodliest children leave her,

Hastily thrusting books aside;

Still the hurrying weeks bereave her,

Filling her heart with joy and pride;

Only the thought of you can grieve her,

You who have fought and died'.

 

Sir Tim Berners-Lee

 

Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS RDI FRSA DFBCS FREng was born on the 8th. June 1955. Also known as TimBL, he is an English computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web, the HTML markup language, the URL system, and HTTP.

 

He is a professorial research fellow at the University of Oxford, and a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

 

Berners-Lee proposed an information management system on the 12th. March 1989, and implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet in mid-November.

 

He devised and implemented the first Web browser and Web server, and helped foster the Web's subsequent explosive development. He is the founder and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the continued development of the Web.

 

Tim co-founded (with Rosemary Leith) the World Wide Web Foundation. In April 2009, he was elected as Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences.

 

Berners-Lee is a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com founder's chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.

 

In 2011, he was named as a member of the board of trustees of the Ford Foundation. He is a founder and president of the Open Data Institute, and is currently an advisor at social network MeWe.

 

In 2004, Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work. He received the 2016 Turing Award:

 

"... for inventing the World Wide Web, the first

web browser, and the fundamental protocols

and algorithms allowing the Web to scale".

 

He was named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th. century, and has received many other accolades for his invention.

 

-- Tim Berners-Lee - The Early Years

 

Tim Berners-Lee was born in London, the son of mathematicians and computer scientists Mary Lee Woods (1924–2017) and Conway Berners-Lee (1921–2019). His parents were both from Birmingham, and worked on the Ferranti Mark 1, the first commercially-built computer.

 

He has three younger siblings; his brother, Mike, is a professor of ecology and climate change management.

 

Berners-Lee attended Sheen Mount Primary School, then attended Emanuel School (a direct grant grammar school at the time) from 1969 to 1973. A keen trainspotter as a child, he learnt about electronics from tinkering with a model railway.

 

From 1973 to 1976, he studied at The Queen's College, Oxford, where he received a first-class BA in physics. While there, he made a computer out of an old television set he had purchased from a repair shop.

 

-- Tim Berners-Lee's Career and Research

 

After graduation, Berners-Lee worked as an engineer at the telecommunications company Plessey in Poole, Dorset.

 

In 1978, he joined D. G. Nash in Ferndown, Dorset, where he helped create typesetting software for printers.

 

Berners-Lee worked as an independent contractor at CERN from June to December 1980. While in Geneva, he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers.

 

To demonstrate it, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE.

 

After leaving CERN in late 1980, Tim went to work at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd. in Bournemouth, Dorset, where he ran the company's technical side for three years.

 

The project he worked on was a "real-time remote procedure call" which gave him experience in computer networking. In 1984, he returned to CERN as a fellow.

 

In 1989, CERN was the largest Internet node in Europe, and Berners-Lee saw an opportunity to join hypertext with the Internet:

 

"I just had to take the hypertext idea and

connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and—

ta-da!—the World Wide Web."

 

Tim also recalled:

 

"Creating the web was really an act of desperation,

because the situation without it was very difficult

when I was working at CERN later.

Most of the technology involved in the web, like the

hypertext, like the Internet, multifont text objects,

had all been designed already.

I just had to put them together. It was a step of

generalising, going to a higher level of abstraction,

thinking about all the documentation systems out

there as being possibly part of a larger imaginary

documentation system."

 

Berners-Lee wrote his proposal in March 1989 and, in 1990, redistributed it. It was accepted by his manager, Mike Sendall, who called his proposals:

 

"Vague, but exciting."

 

Robert Cailliau had independently proposed a project to develop a hypertext system at CERN, and joined Berners-Lee as a partner in his efforts to get the web off the ground. They used similar ideas to those underlying the ENQUIRE system to create the World Wide Web, for which Berners-Lee designed and built the first web browser.

 

Tim's software also functioned as an editor (called WorldWideWeb, running on the NeXTSTEP operating system), and the first Web server, CERN HTTPd (short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon).

 

Berners-Lee published the first web site, which described the project itself, on the 20th. December 1990; it was available to the Internet from the CERN network.

 

The site provided an explanation of what the World Wide Web was, and how people could use a browser and set up a web server, as well as how to get started with your own website.

 

On the 6th. August 1991, Berners-Lee first posted, on Usenet, a public invitation for collaboration with the WorldWideWeb project.

 

In a list of 80 cultural moments that shaped the world, chosen by a panel of 25 eminent scientists, academics, writers and world leaders, the invention of the World Wide Web was ranked number one, with the entry stating:

 

"The fastest growing communications medium

of all time, the Internet has changed the shape

of modern life forever. We can connect with

each other instantly, all over the world."

 

In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the W3C at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It comprised various companies that were willing to create standards and recommendations to improve the quality of the Web.

 

Berners-Lee made his idea available freely, with no patent and no royalties due. The World Wide Web Consortium decided that its standards should be based on royalty-free technology, so that they easily could be adopted by anyone.

 

In 2001, Berners-Lee became a patron of the East Dorset Heritage Trust, having previously lived in Colehill in Wimborne, East Dorset. In December 2004, he accepted a chair in computer science at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, Hampshire, to work on the Semantic Web.

 

In a Times article in October 2009, Berners-Lee admitted that the initial pair of slashes ("//") in a web address were "unnecessary". He told the newspaper that he easily could have designed web addresses without the slashes. In his lighthearted apology he said:

 

"There you go, it seemed like

a good idea at the time."

 

-- Tim Berners-Lee's Policy Work

 

In June 2009, then-British prime minister Gordon Brown announced that Berners-Lee would work with the UK government in order to help make data more open and accessible on the Web, building on the work of the Power of Information Task Force.

 

Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt are the two key figures behind data.gov.uk, a UK government project to open up almost all data acquired for official purposes for free re-use.

 

Commenting on the opening up of Ordnance Survey data in April 2010, Berners-Lee said:

 

"The changes signal a wider cultural change

in government, based on an assumption that

information should be in the public domain

unless there is a good reason not to — not

the other way around."

 

He went on to say:

 

"Greater openness, accountability and

transparency in Government will give

people greater choice and make it

easier for individuals to get more

directly involved in issues that matter

to them."

 

In November 2009, Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web Foundation (WWWF) in order to campaign:

 

"To advance the Web to empower humanity

by launching transformative programs that

build local capacity to leverage the Web as

a medium for positive change".

 

Berners-Lee is one of the pioneer voices in favour of net neutrality, and has expressed the view that:

 

"ISPs should supply connectivity with no strings

attached, and should neither control nor monitor

the browsing activities of customers without their

expressed consent."

 

Tim advocates the idea that net neutrality is a kind of human network right:

 

"Threats to the Internet, such as companies

or governments that interfere with or snoop

on Internet traffic, compromise basic human

network rights."

 

As of May 2012, Tim is president of the Open Data Institute, which he co-founded with Nigel Shadbolt in 2012.

 

The Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) was launched in October 2013, and Berners-Lee is leading the coalition of public and private organisations that includes Google, Facebook, Intel and Microsoft.

 

The A4AI seeks to make Internet access more affordable, so that access is broadened in the developing world, where only 31% of people are online. Berners-Lee is working with those aiming to decrease Internet access prices so that they fall below the UN Broadband Commission's worldwide target of 5% of monthly income.

 

Berners-Lee holds the founders chair in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he heads the Decentralized Information Group and is leading Solid, a joint project with the Qatar Computing Research Institute that aims to radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy.

 

In October 2016, he joined the Department of Computer Science at Oxford University as a professorial research fellow, and as a fellow of Christ Church, one of the Oxford colleges.

 

From the mid-2010's Berners-Lee initially remained neutral on the emerging Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) proposal with its controversial digital rights management (DRM) implications.

 

In March 2017 he felt he had to take a position which was to support the EME proposal. He reasoned EME's virtues whilst noting DRM was inevitable. As W3C director, he went on to approve the finalised specification in July 2017.

 

Tim's stance was opposed by some, including Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the anti-DRM campaign, Defective by Design, and the Free Software Foundation. Varied concerns raised included being not supportive of the Internet's open philosophy against commercial interests, and risks of users being forced to use a particular web browser to view specific DRM content.

 

The EFF raised a formal appeal which did not succeed, and the EME specification became a formal W3C recommendation in September 2017.

 

On the 30th. September 2018, Berners-Lee announced his new open-source startup Inrupt to fuel a commercial ecosystem around the Solid project, which aims to give users more control over their personal data and lets them choose where the data goes, who's allowed to see certain elements and which apps are allowed to see that data.

 

In November 2019 at the Internet Governance Forum in Berlin Berners-Lee and the WWWF launched Contract for the Web, a campaign initiative to persuade governments, companies and citizens to commit to nine principles to stop "misuse", with the warning that:

 

"Ff we don't act now – and act together –

to prevent the web being misused by

those who want to exploit, divide and

undermine, we are at risk of squandering

its potential for good."

 

-- Tim Berners-Lee's Awards and Honours

 

Tim Berners-Lee's entry in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century (March 1999) reads as follows:

 

"He wove the World Wide Web and created a mass

medium for the 21st century. The World Wide Web

is Berners-Lee's alone. He designed it. He loosed it

on the world. And he more than anyone else has

fought to keep it open, nonproprietary and free."

 

Berners-Lee has received many awards and honours. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2004 New Year Honours:

 

"For services to the global development

of the Internet."

 

On the 13th. June 2007, he was appointed to the Order of Merit (OM), an order restricted to 24 living members, plus any honorary members. Bestowing membership of the Order of Merit is within the personal purview of the Sovereign, and does not require recommendation by ministers or the Prime Minister.

 

Tim was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2001. He was also elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2004 and the National Academy of Engineering in 2007.

 

He has been conferred honorary degrees from a number of universities around the world, including Manchester (his parents worked on the Manchester Mark 1 in the 1940's), Harvard and Yale.

 

In 2012, Berners-Lee was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork – the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover – to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires to mark his 80th. birthday.

 

In 2013, he was awarded the inaugural Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. On the 4th. April 2017, Tim received the 2016 Association for Computing Machinery's Turing Award for his invention of the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and their fundamental protocols and algorithms.

 

-- Tim Berners-Lee's Personal Life

 

Berners-Lee has said

 

"I like to keep work and

personal life separate."

 

Berners-Lee married Nancy Carlson, an American computer programmer, in 1990. She was also working in Switzerland at the World Health Organization. They had two children and divorced in 2011.

 

In 2014, he married Rosemary Leith at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace in London. Leith is a Canadian Internet and banking entrepreneur, and a founding director of Berners-Lee's World Wide Web Foundation. The couple also collaborate on venture capital to support artificial intelligence companies.

 

Berners-Lee was raised as an Anglican, but he turned away from religion in his youth. After he became a parent, he became a Unitarian Universalist (UU). When asked whether he believes in God, he stated:

 

"Not in the sense of most people, I'm

atheist and Unitarian Universalist."

 

The web's source code was auctioned by Sotheby's in London in 2021, as a non-fungible token (NFT) by TimBL. Selling for US$5,434,500, it was reported the proceeds would be used to fund initiatives by TimBL and Leith.

Description: Program published for the 1987 Ingleside Invaders baseball team. The programs were self-produced by the team under direction of their head coach Dan Harrington, with help from assistant coaches and other community members. Mr. Harrington has given his approval to the San Francisco Public Library for these publications to be reproduced here on Flickr in digital format. Mr. Harrington has written a description of these publications and the Ingleside Invaders baseball team..

 

"The last of the Sandlot League teams in San Francisco is the Ingleside Invaders, the only team to sign up in 1990 for the 18-and-under division of SF Rec-Park Baseball, the direct descendent of the Sandlot League known in the 1980s as the Neighborhood League. (I don't know when the Sandlot League started, but it is thought to have its origins before 1900).

 

"The Invaders ball club was a successful representative of the neighborhood, with players from many public, private and parochial high schools chipping in small amounts of money (no more than $25), getting to keep full uniforms; businesses donated funds (except for the Marines who still owe me fifty bucks!) while receiving ad-space for the team's self-produced publications showing stories about "the Greater Ingleside" history and contemporary times to the rest of San Francisco. The Invaders made some life-long friendships and fielded some good baseball teams!

 

"My recently passed father Richard Harrington took many of the photos, while my brother Richard Jr, who passed away in 1998, compiled some stats and kept book for many of the games. The 1986 paper stock was provided by the Coca-Cola bottlers on Bayshore Blvd. and printed by the team, complete with a team picture in the relatively new light rail vehicle (LRV) "streetcar" yard off Ocean Ave.

 

"Ingleside finished second in 1986, 87, and 88. Ingleside was surprised in a playoff game in 1989. But it did give the best example of multiple schools represented on the same summer team and a model to use for the RBI Baseball and Softball program run independently by Dan Harrington (calling in lots of favors for help) in 1997 at Crocker-Amazon and Balboa Park, and in conjunction with City College baseball courses (John Vanoncini) and Columbia Park and San Francisco Boys and Girls Clubs from 1998 to 2010."

The Postcard

 

An Artistique Series postcard that was published by the Inter-Art Co. of Florence House, Barnes, London SW13. The artwork was by A. A. Nash, and the card was printed in Great Britain. The card would have been published during the Great War as a morale booster.

 

It did come right in the end, but too late for the vast numbers of men and women (and children) who died in the conflict.

 

The card was posted on Monday the 25th. November 1918, two weeks after the end of the Great War. It was sent to:

 

Miss Babie James,

Agra Ville,

Kings Road,

Fleet,

Hants.

 

The message on the divided back was as follows:

 

"I know a little girlie and

her name is Babie-Boo,

and I think she loves her

Daddy and her Mummie,

Tootle Loo.

For Dear Babie, with heaps

of love and sweetie kisses,

From Daddy and Mummie."

 

A Ceasefire at Abercorn

 

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

 

Well, on the 25th. November 1918, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, commander of German forces in German East Africa, signed a ceasefire at Abercorn, Northern Rhodesia.

 

His was the last German force to end hostilities in the Great War.

 

Philip Streczyk

 

The day also marked the birth of Philip Streczyk. He was a technical sergeant in the 1st. Infantry Division of the United States Army during World War II.

 

Streczyk was born to Polish parents Andrzej "Andrew" Streczyk (born 1876 in Austria-Hungary) and Marya (born 1886 in Austria-Hungary). Streczyk was a native of East Brunswick Township, New Jersey. He had nine siblings.

 

Streczyk quit school in eighth grade to help support his family, working as a truck driver until he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1940 at the age of 21. Streczyk was able to speak Polish and German, and used this ability during D-Day.

 

-- Philip Streczyk and D-Day

 

Streczyk is famous for being one of the first men off the beach at Omaha Beach. He served in the 1st. Infantry Division under Lieutenant John M. Spalding.

 

Streczyk and his men helped make the D-Day breakthrough at Omaha Beach possible. His platoon landed on the Easy Red sector, and made it to the shingle embankment largely intact, unlike most of the first wave.

 

However instead of attacking up the beach exits, as was planned, Philip instead helped to find and clear a path up the mined bluffs, left of Exit E-1. Streczyk courageously exposed himself to intense enemy fire and utilized antitank grenades to silence two enemy guns, thereby enabling his unit to continue its advance.

 

Once at the top, he attacked the enemy fortifications from the rear, clearing out trenches and pillboxes along Exit E-1 and taking prisoners.

 

He was able to interrogate several of the Ost battalion POWs because he spoke fluent Polish, German, and English. Later on D-Day, he was involved in actions further inland.

 

For his actions on D-Day, Streczyk was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Great Britain's Military Medal. His company commander later called him:

 

"The greatest unsung

hero of World War II".

 

He saw action in five other major battles during World War II, including Tunisia, Sicily, and Hurtgen. He was awarded the Silver Star four times. His six theaters earned him six Bronze Stars.

 

One of Philip's children, Ron Streczyk later recounted:

 

"After D-Day, during the Normandy fighting,

one of Tech Sergeant Streczyk's men was

severely wounded in a firefight.

The stricken soldier's jaw was gone and he

begged for death. The sergeant obliged,

and put him out of his misery. Later he felt

guilty about it."

 

-- Philip Streczyk's Subsequent World War II Service

 

Streczyk continued to fight through Normandy, the Mons Pocket, Aachen, and finally the brutal Battle of Hürtgen Forest. In total, he logged 440 days of combat.

 

During the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, Streczyk reached a breaking point. He shook uncontrollably and babbled incoherently to the point where he had to be evacuated from the front lines with a suspected case of combat fatigue.

 

His case was so severe that he needed to be evacuated to the United States Army General Hospital, Camp Butner, in the United States. In an interview with a journalist during his convalescence, he called his unit:

 

"The best platoon

a man ever had".

 

He was subsequently discharged from the U.S. Army. His Distinguished Service Cross was pinned onto him by Dwight D. Eisenhower on the 2nd. July 1944. Field Marshal Montgomery also personally awarded him the British Military Medal about a week later.

 

-- Philip Streczyk's Post-War Life and Suicide

 

Streczyk became a builder in Florida. He married Sophie Karanewsky, and they had four children.

 

Philip had frequent nightmares, and was in persistent pain from the physical and emotional wounds he sustained during his time in combat. This ultimately led to his suicide at the age of 39 on the 25th. June 1958, a delayed casualty of the horror of D-Day.

 

Philip was laid to rest at the Church of Religious Science in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The church is no longer active. The cemetery is on private property and not easily accessible.

 

Philip's brother John and their father Andrew are also buried there.

 

-- The Traumatic Death of John Spalding

 

Philip's commander John Spalding also came to a traumatic end. On the evening of the 6th. November 1959, Spalding’s wife shot him with a brand-new .22 caliber rifle.

 

The bullet entered his left side below his ribs, tearing his aorta, and he bled to death on the bedroom floor of their modest one-story home. Spalding, a hero of history’s greatest invasion, was dead at the age of 44.

Video link of this episode is below. Old pic I have that I forgot about. This was in Sturgis, back in '05 when we were filming for a video about Sugar Bear. I ended up being in the video a bit more than I thought. The show was called "American Biker".

The Postcard

 

A postcard that was published by Mitchell & Thunder of 6, Middle Street, Hastings.

 

The card was posted in Hastings on Friday the 8th. July 1921 to:

 

Mrs. Parsons,

44, Clonmore Street,

Southfields,

London.

 

The message on the divided back was as follows:

 

"12, Havelock Road,

Hastings.

Dear Flo,

Here we are at H -

very nice journey down,

not crowded.

We like the place very

much.

We are now sitting on

the steps of the Hill, it

is lovely.

Hope you will all have

a nice holiday.

How is little Georgie,

going on alright I hope.

Will think of you tomorrow

at hospital.

Love to all,

J."

 

The St. Lawrence Seaway

 

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

 

Well, on the 8th. July 1921, the U.S. and Canadian Joint Commission reported that the proposed St. Lawrence Seaway canal linking the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean could be constructed at a cost of $252,278,200.

 

German War Crime Trials

 

Also on that day, France's observers at Germany's war crime trials departed from Leipzig after declaring that the German trials were "a farce".

 

John Money

 

The 8th. July 1921 also marked the birth in Morrinsville of the New Zealand psychologist and sexologist, John Money.

 

Money was known for his controversial sexual identity study on David Reimer.

 

David Reimer

 

David Reimer, who was born in Winnipeg on the 22nd. August 1965, was a Canadian born male. However he was raised as a girl following medical advice and intervention after his penis was severely injured during a botched circumcision in infancy.

 

David was ostracised and bullied by peers (who dubbed him "Cavewoman"), and neither frilly dresses nor female hormones made him feel female.

 

In addition to his difficult lifelong relationship with his parents, Reimer had to deal with unemployment, and with the death of his brother Brian from an overdose of antidepressants on the 1st. July 2002.

 

On the 2nd. May 2004, David's wife Jane told him she wanted to separate. On the morning of the 4th. May 2004, Reimer drove to a grocery store's parking lot in his hometown of Winnipeg and took his own life by shooting himself in the head with a sawn-off shotgun.

 

David Reimer was 38 years of age when he died. He was laid to rest at St. Vital Cemetery in Winnipeg.

Mount Royal (French: mont Royal, IPA: [mɔ̃ ʁwajal]) is a hill in the city of Montreal, immediately west of downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the city to which it gave its name.

 

The hill is part of the Monteregian Hills situated between the Laurentians and the Appalachians. It gave its Latin name, Mons Regius, to the Monteregian chain.

 

The hill consists of three peaks: Colline de la Croix (or Mont Royal proper) at 233 m (764 ft), Colline d'Outremont (or Mount Murray, in the borough of Outremont) at 211 m (692 ft), and Westmount Summit at 201 m (659 ft) elevation above mean sea level.

 

The park contains two belvederes, the more prominent of which is the Kondiaronk Belvedere, a semicircular plaza with a chalet, overlooking downtown Montreal. Built in 1906, it is named for the Petun chief Kondiaronk, whose influence led to a major peace accord between the French, Iroquois and other First Nations in 1701. As of 2009, the Kondiaronk chalet's snack bar is being shuttered, with plans to replace it with healthier fare.

 

Other features of the park are Beaver Lake, a small artificial lake; a short ski slope; cross-country skiing trails; a sculpture garden; and Smith House, an interpretive centre. At the foot of the hill, overlooking Park Avenue, the park features George-Étienne Cartier Monument, home to the Tam Tams, and a gazebo which has been recently named in honour of Mordecai Richler.

 

The lush forest was badly damaged both by mayor Drapeau’s morality cuts (to remove any opportunity for people to have sex in the bushes) of the mid-1950s and by the Ice Storm of 1998, but has since largely recovered. The forest is a green jewel rising above downtown Montreal, and is known for its beautiful autumn foliage as well as extensive hiking and cross-country ski trails. Biking is restricted to the main gravel roads. (Wikipedia)

Taken for Our Daily Challenge .. Paper. I'm rather proud of this paper. This is Our Maine Street Magazine with one of my pictures. OMS contacted me asking for permission to use one of my photos to accompany a story by an Amish man telling the story of his family's move from NY state to Maine. They mirrored my photo and applied a fresco effect. A very high quality magazine.

Despite being published by the company responsible for The Dandy and The Beano etc, and with an illustrated cover looking like a children's comic, this was actually a short story and features magazine aimed at Women readers.

All items are original, and from my personal collection.

Hard to see the sign, but it was then and remains the location of the post office. No longer a Socony filling station, however, and I doubt you could still get a scoop of Tro-Joy ice cream. The store was also part of Nation-Wide Service Grocers.

This is not the edition I had - mine was a paperback published in 1973 I think. I haven't managed to get a copy yet... so this will do for now.

I have uploaded my favourite pictures, ones I used to look at for ages.

Lo spettacolo

 

Un’affascinante fusione della tradizione di oltre 3000 anni di arte acrobatica cinese con l’approccio multidisciplinare del Cirque du Soleil, Dralion trae ispirazione dalla filosofia orientale e dalla sua infinita ricerca di armonia tra umani e natura. Il nome dello spettacolo deriva da due creature emblematiche: il drago, simbolo dell’Est, e il leone, simbolo dell’Ovest.

 

In Dralion i quattro elementi che governano l’ordine naturale prendono forma umana. Ogni elemento è rappresentato dal proprio colore evocativo: l’aria è blu, l’acqua è verde, il fuoco è rosso e la terra è ocra. Nel mondo di Dralion le culture si mescolano, Uomo e Natura sono una cosa sola, e viene raggiunto l’equilibrio.

  

CAST

Dralion features 50 members in its performance troupe, of which about 5 or 6 play principal characters.

Azala (air): The goddess of air who is dressed in blue, keeper of the sun and the guardian of immortality.

Gaya (earth): The goddess of earth, dressed in ochre.

Océane (water): The goddess of water, dressed in green.

Yao (fire): The god of fire, dressed in red, who is both good and evil.

L'Âme Force: The show's singers who symbolize harmony between the four elements.

Kala: Represents the heart of the wheel of time, making time evolve.

Little Buddha: The chosen child who possesses powers that will eventually allow him to become an Âme-Force, but dreams of being a regular child.

Dralions: Mythical creatures inspired by the imagery of the Chinese lion dance and dragon dance.

Clowns: The clowns manage to push this otherwise harmonious universe slightly off-kilter.

The Pool

 

The site in the photograph was first developed as a 950 square metres (10,200 sq ft) swimming pool in 1937 and included an art deco diving tower.

 

At the time it had the highest diving board, and was the largest open air swimming pool, in Europe.

 

When it was opened it was simply known as "The Pool", becoming branded as Tropicana in 1983.

 

Closure of the Pool

 

The reinforced concrete diving tower was demolished in 1982. As part of the re-branding, features such as slides and a wave machine were introduced. The Tropicana had enormous fruits as a feature and adopted the tag line, "It's fun and fruity. It's wet and wild". It remained a popular attraction for many years until it eventually closed in 2000.

 

In 2003, North Somerset Council granted planning permission for a new pool to be developed by Mace Estates. However in 2004 Mace withdrew.

 

In 2005, Henry Boot PLC was chosen as the developer, but the recession of 2008 onwards caused them to pull out.

 

In early 2011, developer Richard Nightingale withdrew following a dispute with the council over his plans for the site.

 

In August 2011, the council announced it was giving developers one last chance to rebuild the old complex which by then had been shut for 11 years. But it was announced in November 2011 that a working group had made a recommendation to the council to demolish the Tropicana.

 

In August 2012, it was announced that the council had been given approval to demolish the pool and for the land to be cleared and returned to beach with a new sea wall.

 

However in February 2013, the council granted planning permission to a consortium of local businesses, Trop Ltd, who intended to build a new swimming pool complex on the site. As the land owner, however, the council has not yet (2018) given Trop Ltd. permission to build on the site.

 

The Bay Cafe

 

During 2015, as part of the works to make the building safe (and clean the façade) The Bay Cafe opened in the front section of the old building.

 

Dismaland

 

In August 2015 it was announced that Dismaland, an art installation, would be curated at the Tropicana by the artist Banksy. The 'Sinister twist on Disneyland' opened during the weekend of the 21st. August 2015 and ran until the 27th. September 2015, attracting 150,000 visitors from all over the world and generating an estimated £20m in extra revenue for the town.
